If you’ve been waiting to get The LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (70840), now is a great chance to do it on Amazon. It is currently on sale for $234.99 which is 22% off or a $65 discount from the regular price of $299.99. Sales like these for direct-to-consumer sets don’t happen that often but when they do, they are worth jumping on. Thanks to Jeff for the heads up!
Amazon Prime Day is coming up pretty soon and it looks like there are already some good LEGO deals going on.

Also a reminder that the new summer 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets are also now available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home.

Barnes & Noble has opened up the signup form for the LEGO Harry Potter Golden Snitch building event on July 13. It will be in-store at 2pm local time and the parts and building instructions will be provided when you get there. There is a limited number of spots available at each store and signup is required for each attendee.
July is here and that means new LEGO sets and promotions are now live on LEGO Shop@Home. First is the Double VIP Points promo that is running from now until July 7.
It seems to have been a while since I’ve done one of these but here’s the monthly recap of LEGO news from the month of June. There’s been a lot of news this month including reveals and other important LEGO updates that will be happening soon so this will be a longer recap.
New LEGO VIP Program Teaser – LEGO has teased an update to the LEGO VIP program that will be coming out soon.
Today is the last day to get your orders in on LEGO Shop@Home if you want to get the LEGO Ideas Space Rocket Ride (40335) set. It is available with purchases of $99 or more until 11:59 EST. The new lineup of summer 2019 sets should also be available when the promotion is supposed to be over tonight so you can potentially get the new sets while also the promo is still live. I suggest checking in at that time to see if that is the case.
