LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
There are now official images of the summer 2019 LEGO DUPLO sets coming out of MisterBricks. Although it doesn’t appeal to everyone, young kids will certainly enjoy these sets as they feature a lot of new animals like the baby whale.
It’s the beginning of the month and usually there’s new products available on LEGO Shop@Home but it’s fairly barren. The only thing that is brand new is the LEGO Disney Series 2 Collectible Minifigures (71024) which are $3.99 per pack. There are 18 characters to collect and there are two complete sets per box of 60 with Huey, Dewey, and Louie being the rarest ones coming in at two per box. I’ve already done a review of the set if you want to check that out.
The LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV (75244) comes out in a few days and LEGO has released the designer video for the set. LEGO designer Cesar Soares and graphic designer Maddy O’Neil gives us a short overview of what we can expect to see in this new set for the May the 4th celebration.
VIPs will be able to get the set a day early on May 3 and this weekend with the purchase of this set, you can also get the Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition (40333) set as well as the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Art Print.
The 123 Sesame Street by bulldoozer21 is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you watched Sesame Street any time in your life, you would instantly recognize the iconic apartment building. The set features a few rooms from the show including Bert and Ernie’s apartment, Gordon and Susan’s dining room, Maria’s living room, and Elmo’s World. The project also proposes 14 minifigures such as Bob, Gordon, Susan, Bert, Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Biff, Sully, Ernie, Cookie Monster, Count von Count, Prairie Dawn, Grover and Elmo.
123 Sesame Street now joins National Museum – Rio de Janeiro, Anatomini, The Office – NBC, The Pirate Bay, Kakapo, SpaceX BFR / Starship & Super Heavy 1:110 Scale, and Addams Family Mansion as the projects to reach the First 2019 Review Stage.

As a Humble Bundle partner, you can also choose as one of the choices. It is not required but it is definitely appreciated. As of this writing, the Humble LEGO Games Bundle will run for 13 more days.
The press release of the summer 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets was released yesterday and LEGO also announced the new LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar (75964). It will have 305 pieces and retail for $39.99 and will be available starting on September 1. It is a brand new advent calendar that is added to LEGO’s already big lineup of advent calendars for various themes including City, Friends, and Star Wars.
The images do not show all of the builds and minifigures like with the other LEGO advent calendars. This could be a new move to give more of a surprise for what we will be getting. The product description, however, does give more information about it and the main thing is that it includes 7 minifigures and a number of other builds that aren’t shown on the front of the box.
You may have noticed that I haven’t reviewed any advent calendars from the past few years but I’ll definitely take a look at this new LEGO Harry Potter one when it comes out.

-This LEGO Harry Potter advent
Some of you may have known that I went to Philly Brick Fest this past weekend and there I had the pleasure of meeting former LEGO employees Megan Rothrock and James Foulds. They were at the event to promote their new book Construct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! which is a somewhat unique LEGO book that I haven’t seen that much of. It is a story book along with building instructions for some of the builds shown in the book. You can check out Megan talking about her new book from the Beyond the Brick livestream from Saturday.
Constuct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! is available now on Amazon for $7.99.
Join Syd and Friends as they introduce you to their world of imaginative play! As you follow their adventures, building tips and instructions are included to inspire young builders. Utilizing a unique character design and a brick-built scale to match, the stories cover a varied selection of environments. Readers will discover this book light-hearted and fun to follow. Weaving story and brick building, we hope to encourage children to create their own stories and play activities with the bricks they have at home!
