We’ve been waiting on some news of the upcoming 2018 LEGO Creator Winter Village set and it has been confirmed on the Italian LEGO Store Flyer that the set will be a Winter Village Fire Station (10263). Fans have been speculating that this year would be a fire station and it’s nice to see that it has been confirmed on public knowledge. We also should be getting the official press release and images of the set soon so stay tuned for that.

Yesterday we got a good look at the upcoming LEGO Seasonal 2018 Christmas Carousel (40293) and today we’re taking a look at some of the LEGO ornaments that are coming soon. As you can see from the images, we’re getting a 37-piece Penguin Christmas Ornament (853796) as well as a 50-piece Presents Christmas Ornament (853815). The two ornaments will probably retail for $7.99 and will most likely be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home starting on October 1. There’s also a Train Ornament (853810) which we don’t have official images for yet.

The Mexico City & LEGO by LegoFan_506 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is done in the Architecture skyline style and consists of some of the most recognizable structures in Mexico City including Constitution Plaza, National Palace, Angel of Independence, Latin-American Tower, and Palace of Fine Arts.
The project barely gets into the Second 2018 Review Stage in before the deadline and it now joins a number of other projects including the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, International Space Station, SpaceX – The Ultimate Collection, Steamboat Willie, M&M’s Chocolate Candy Dispenser, Rolls-Royce UltraFan – The Ultimate Jet Engine, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, Fiat 500 F, and Central Perk Coffee of Friends.
A good amount of new LEGO sets became available for purchase yesterday on Shop@Home and one of the sets that you may not know about is the LEGO Iconic Ludo Game (40198). Also known as Parcheesi, the Ludo Game has 389 pieces and retails for $39.99.

This fun LEGO Iconic 40198 Ludo Game comes with 16 minifigure players divided into 4 teams and a colorful play area with 4 team bases, each depicting a different season, plus a buildable number spinner.

Continuing on with my coverage of the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure, we now turn our attention to the evolution of the minifigure. LEGO has sent over a number of images of various minifigures which show them as a prototype from the mid-to-late 1970s as well as the final products that were released in 1978. Some of these minifigures include the doctors, firefighters, spacemen, and police. We even get to see the old minifigures compared to some of the more recently released ones.
We’re getting ever so closer to the holiday season and a Russian Monobrand Store has revealed what appears to be an upcoming 2018 LEGO Christmas promotional set with the Christmas Carousel (40293). It is a Limited Edition set which is similar to the Christmas Train (40138) and Gingerbread House (40139) from 2015, the Snowglobe (40223) from 2016, and the Nutcracker (40254) from 2017. As seen from the images, the Carousel can be rotated using a simple gear mechanism.
There’s no word yet on when it will be available but I believe it will be in November when the Christmas promotional sets show up on the Store Calendar. The purchase limit will most likely be with $99 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.
