If you’re attending Brickworld Chicago next weekend, it has been announced that you’ll be able to play a demo of the new LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed mobile game there. Again, we don’t know what this game is about besides that it is a RPG using LEGO minifigures which is the first LEGO game of this genre.
Amazon has a great deal going on for the LEGO City Ambulance Helicopter (60179). It is currently at $11.99 which is 40% off the regular price of $19.99. This is an older set that was released in 2017 and it could be close to retiring soon as the summer 2019 wave of LEGO City sets will be coming out in a few months.
LEGO has revealed the second LEGO Marvel Super Heroes promotional art print that will be available with purchases. The print is illustrated by Andrea Divito and Laura Villari and it features the Avengers fighting Thanos during Endgame. It is not totally accurate to the film as it mostly shows the minifigures from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Endgame sets. This is the second of three LEGO Marvel art prints that you’ll be able to get with the first one being from Captain Marvel from a few months ago.
According to Shop@Home, it will be available from June 10-16 with purchases of $35 or more in LEGO Marvel products, while supplies last. The purchase minimum in other countries are as follows: £35//$60 (AU)/$65 (NZ)/35€ /910 Kč/11435 Ft/40 CHF/260 kr. (DK)/335 kr (NO)/360 kr (SE)/155 zł/$35 (CAD).
Thanks to Simon for the heads up.
Last year, LEGO announced they will be collaborating with the popular Swedish furniture IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. After that announcement, we really didn’t hear much about it ever since but recently, IKEA put out a press release to announce BYGGLEK which are some new products coming out in 2020 to stimulate play around the home. Although LEGO is geared towards kids, BYGGLEK will cater towards everyone, kids and adults alike. There’s not much else revealed from the press release but I’m sure more details will emerge by the end of the year.

There are now images of the summer 2019 LEGO Technic 4×4 X-treme Off-Roader (42099) which comes from the toy retailer Wagner’s Spiel- + Technikwelt GmbH.

It’s been a couple of days since the launch of the LEGO Seasonal Dragon Boat Race (80103) at other parts of world however North America got the short end of the stick on the release. Everyday since the beginning of June, I’ve gotten emails and messages of when it will show up here, 43 total to be exact. We’ve finally gotten some information from the LEGO Ambassador Network on the North America release.
According to Sara, it will launch here after July 1. The phrase is somewhat vague as it doesn’t say it will launch on July 1 but after July 1. As of this time, it’s not listed on Shop@Home but if it does around the end of June, it may suggest that it’ll be available on July 1.
I don’t a specific list of countries as to where it’s available, but I’ve just been informed that 80103 Dragon Boat Race is available in Europe and APAC June 1st, and will launch in North America after July 1st.
If it’s showing as “retired” on your country’s LEGO Shop (and you’re outside of North America) I recommend you contact consumer service.
