LEGO Minions: The Rise of Gru Sets Coming in 2020

In a surprise announcement out of left field this morning, LEGO revealed there will be some new LEGO Minions: The Rise of Gru sets coming in 2020. There’s not much information to go on but the clip on social media shows a minions looking around. Minions: The Rise of Gru will be in theaters on July 3, 2020 so we can expect to see the sets probably around next spring.

This is the second announcement of LEGO branching out to more animated films. If you remember, LEGO teased that some Trolls World Tour sets could be coming out next year as well.

LEGO Digital Monthly Store Calendars Rumored to Include Promotions Again

LEGO Store Calendar

For a few months now, the LEGO Monthly Store Calendars have been quite useless as they have stopped showing upcoming promotions on them but that may change soon. I heard from a source that the new digital LEGO Store Calendars could be showing promotions on them again when it rolls out next month. To cater to fans even more, the calendars will be available the last Monday before the next month so for example, the July calendar will presumably be out on June 24. Of course I don’t want to get everyone’s hopes up if none of this happens but I have a good feeling that my source didn’t steer me in the wrong direction.

Technically there are 12 sets that you can readily order as the Löwenstein Castle has been sold out but you can join the waitlist.

Each set will come with an individually numbered sticker on the sleeve of the box as well as a some holographic stickers that make it feel more like a high end product. You can check out more of these details over on Brickset.

LEGO June 2019 Double VIP Point Sets

It’s a new month and that means there are some new sets that now qualify for Double VIP Points and for June, we have some The LEGO Movie 2 sets. These two sets are Queen Watevra’s ‘So-Not-Evil’ Space Palace (70838) and The Rexcelsior! (70839). As of this writing, it looks like there’s a glitch on Shop@Home as adding either set will also add the LEGO VIP Space Patch to the cart so get on it while you can.

LEGO Stranger Things Castle Byers Building Event Coming Soon for US

Last month, there was an exclusive LEGO Stranger Things Castle Byers build at the Flatiron and Leicester LEGO Brand Stores for the release of the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810). Although the building instructions are readily available, there are some exclusive stickers that you can only get during the building event.

I have some good news as it looks like the US LEGO Brand Stores will be getting the Castle Byers building event later this month. According to my sources, registration for the event will start on June 10 and there will be a limited number of spaces. As with other building events, registration will be in-stores only. I do not know what day the event will be held but I let you guys know when I find out.

LEGOLAND Park (40346)

For those who have been wondering if the exclusive LEGOLAND Park (40346) would be available at LEGOLAND Discovery Centers, I can confirm that they are being sold there as well. Thanks to Gordon who sent in an image from the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Dallas/Fort Worth. It is being sold there for $90 so it’s on par as far as pricing goes. I suggest calling your nearest Discovery Center before heading out as I can not confirm that all the Discovery Centers have them in stock.
