The SpaceX BFR / Starship & Super Heavy 1:110 Scale now joins National Museum – Rio de Janeiro, Anatomini, The Office – NBC, The Pirate Bay, and Kakapo as the projects to reach the First 2019 Review Stage.
As we know by now, the promotion for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers Tower (40334) runs from April 19 to May 2 with purchases of $75 or more on LEGO Marvel Super Heroes products. There are now official images of the set which come from LEGO’s servers via PromoBricks and it shows that the set has 211 pieces. Again, it shouldn’t be that hard to get the Avengers Tower since the Avengers: Endgames sets are available as well as the Spider-Man: Far From Home sets are rumored to be released on April 22.
Whether it was intentional or on accident, LEGO has revealed a new 2019 LEGO Architecture set with Trafalgar Square (21045). There will be a signing event at the Leicester Square LEGO Store on April 27 11:00am-2:00pm by LEGO designer Rok Zgalin Kobe. Each person is limited to two sets and signatures per person.
LEGO’s Facebook Page is doing a special promotion to give away another of their previous GWP items when you make a purchase on Shop@Home. There’s a code to use during checkout to get the free LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny Hut (5005249) from now until 4/22, while supplies last. From the looks of it, there’s no minimum purchase required. If you don’t see the code, click the “Save the Offer” button or send it to your email and you’ll see it there. Thanks to John P. for the heads up.
Continuing with my reviews of the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets, the next one I’ll be checking out is the Imperial Dropship (75262). It has 125 pieces and retails for $19.99 and from what I’ve heard, it is one of the more anticipated sets of this wave simply because it is an army building set. It is a recreation of the 7667 version of the same name from 2008.
