We’re closing in on the end of 2019 and let’s take a look at some of the most popular LEGO posts this year on The Brick Fan. As of today, there were 896 posts so far this year and here are the top 10 viewed posts according to Google Analytics. LEGO Store calendar posts are usually popular here but they take up a majority of the spots so I will be adding them to the list.
The year is almost coming to an end and I guess this is a good time to list my top 10 LEGO sets for 2019. According to Brickset, there were 785 LEGO products released this year but I’ll only be choosing ten as my favorites. Believe me, there were a lot of good sets that were released so it’s really hard choosing just a tiny fraction of them. Like usual, I’ll be using a number of criteria to rank them.
I have some good intel that we will be getting another Double VIP Points event this weekend at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. It is not listed on the December 2019 Store Calendar but it will run alongside some other promotions including the LEGO Creator Mini Gingerbread House (40337) and the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Obi-Wan Kenobi (30624) minifigure. This will most likely be the last Double VIP Points event for this year so it’s a pretty good time to get the last of your holiday shopping in.
Even though the top two shopping days of the year have already passed, there are still deals to be found including the LEGO Creator Volkswagen Beetle (10252). It is currently priced at $69.99 which is 30% off the regular price and a very good deal for this set. It doesn’t seem like this is retiring any time soon but any discount on it is good.
For those who aren’t keen on LEGO switching out plastic bags to paper bags next year, there’s a rumor that there will be a new promotion happening possibly mid-month that could sway your opinion. I’ve been told that there will be a LEGO Masters bag free with any purchase and it’s possible that it might be a reusable one. Obviously LEGO will definitely try to promote the show before the series airs in February. Take this as a rumor for now because LEGO has been doing promotions that aren’t listed on the store calendars.
LEGO employees have started getting their 2019 Christmas gift and this year’s gift is pretty cool if you’re a fan of a particular theme. Vice president of design, Matthew Ashton, has shared an image on Twitter of what employees will be receiving this year. Obviously there are some, including LEGO Brand Store employees, who probably haven’t gotten theirs yet so I won’t totally spoil it. I’ve included the image below but it is hidden until you decide to reveal it. It’s a pretty cool item that any employee would be glad to receive whether it be for their collection or for some extra cash for the holidays.
