I don’t promote LEGO City sales that much but there is one for the Mobile Command Center (60139) on Amazon that you may want to check out. Normally it retails for $49.99 but it is now going for $29.99 which is 40% off and it is the lowest it’s ever been on Amazon. This sale price makes it a more attractive buy due to its normal higher price point.
Earlier today, the LEGO Ideas Second 2019 Review qualifying period ended and that means there are 10 projects that have moved on to the review stage. Technically there were actually 12 projects that qualified but two of them were archived and were disqualified from moving on for reasons unknown to us. LEGO last month released a statement about that. The projects that do move on include:
-UCS Space Shuttle Atlantis by Snelson42
-Thunderbirds Are Go by AndrewClark2
-Pursuit of Flight by JKBrickworks
-History Museum by Bricky_Brick
-The Office by Lego The Office
-Medieval Blacksmith by Namirob
-Winnie the Pooh by benlouisa
-Nasa Spacecraft by Micro_Model_Maker
-The Haunted Mansion: 50th Anniversary by GoodOlPrice
-The Seven Dwarfs’ House by Hanwasyellowfirst
Which project(s) do think will be made into an official LEGO Ideas set?

The promotion for the LEGO Hidden Side Newbury’s Juice Bar (40336) is now live over on LEGO Shop@Home. You can get it for free with purchases of $50 or more until September 15, while supplies last. The promotion also stacks with a number of other promotions that are going on at the same time like the Year of the Pig set with a purchase of the Dragon Boat Race (80103) and the LEGO BrickHeadz Bumble Bee with purchases of $65 or more.
It’s the beginning of the month and that means there are some new Double VIP Points sets on LEGO Shop@Home. For September, we have a couple from the new LEGO Hidden Side theme which are the Paranormal Intercept Bus 3000 (70423) and the Newbury Haunted High School (70425). For the Paranormal Bus, you’ll get 780 points and for the High School, you can receive 1,690 points.
I haven’t been on the LEGO VIP Rewards page lately but they have recently updated some of the rewards you can use your points on. If you’re a LEGO print collector, one of the more interesting items is the patent print that goes for 1,500 points. It is the Japanese Patent Application for the LEGO DUPLO brick from 1968. It is printed on premium paper with embossing and it measures 25.5cm x 31.6cm (10″ x 12.4″). It is limited to only 5,000 prints.
It’s September on the east coast and that means there are some new LEGO products that are now available on LEGO Shop@Home. First are the LEGO Disney Train and Station (71044) and the LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) which are now available to everyone. Also available are the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025) but only as individual random packs. They don’t have full boxes available yet but you are able to buy 32 at a time.
