The last four finalists of the BrickLink AFOL Designer Program has been revealed today.

If you missed out on the LEGO Overwatch Play Event yesterday, I have provided the building instructions and parts list for the Ganymede build. None of the parts of exclusive but there are some very rare parts including the lime green 2×2 wing plates as those are only available with Rex’s Rexplorer! (70835). Until more of them are more widely available, I suggest changing to a different skin using other colors for the wings. Click through the images to get a larger view of the instructions.
LEGO has recently released a new LEGO Ninjago Oni Accessory Set (853866) at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home for $12.99. The 36 piece set includes three Oni demon minifigures as well as a number of weapon accessories and it is great for building an army of the Oni.
Gear up for battle with the LEGO® NINJAGO® 853866 Accessory Set 2019, featuring the Oni villains from Series 10 of the NINJAGO Masters of Spinjitzu TV series. This action-packed little set has 3 new-for-January-2019 Oni minifigures, including one with iconic horn elements, and assorted weapons.
Features 3 Oni demon minifigures—one with horn elements—with 4 swords and other assorted weapons.
The LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter theme was a really popular one last year and it looks like we may not see the end of it anytime soon. Brick Fanatics has gotten information that we could see another wave coming this summer. The wave would make up of at least five sets and they would be based on the following:
-Expecto Patronum
-Triwizard Challenge/Tournament
-Hagrid’s Hut
-Knight Bus
-Hogwarts Watch Tower
Of course, everything is a rumor until LEGO announces it or images of the sets show up early at a retailer.
McDonald’s has revealed the Happy Meal toys that will be for The LEGO Movie 2. Coming January 29, there are eight characters to collect including Wonder Woman, Ultrakatty, Lucy, Emmet, DUPLO Alien, Unikitty, Sweet Mayhem, and Batman, and each one comes puzzles and other items. Of course, we won’t be seeing any actual LEGO pieces as they don’t include anymore. The toys will also be able to connect with the McPlay App for more playability. Thanks to Maus Bricks for the heads up.
BrickLink has revealed the second wave of projects that you will be able to support for the AFOL Designer Program. Starting on February 1, you will be able to crowdfund any of the finalists and the ones that are successful will be made into an exclusive BrickLink limited edition 60 Years Anniversary set.
If you’ve been waiting for a sale on the LEGO Star Wars First Order Heavy Assault Walker (75189), aka Gorilla Walker, Amazon and Walmart currently has a pretty decent sale on it. As of this post, it is going for $109.99 which is $40 off or a 27% discount. Note that the Amazon version is with Frustration-Free Packaging which is basically them using the brown LEGO shipping box as the packaging. According to Camelcamelcamel, this set hasn’t been on sale before so this is a good deal on it if you don’t have it yet.
