LEGO has revealed this year’s Inside Tour exclusive set as The LEGO System House (4000034) in the form of building instructions that they have put online. The System House was an administrative building that was used to handle the company’s international activities, exhibiting new products, and as an inspiration center. There are a number of international flags on the roof to show when a representative of sales companies from a particular nation visit Billund.
Update: The building instructions have been taken down.
Earlier today, LEGO announced the new LEGO Jurassic World Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage (75936) and fans noticed that it looks extremely similar to a project that previously hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Both features the Jurassic Park gate and the Tyrannosaurus Rex however the project was minifigure scaled and it featured the Ford Explorer while the new set features a much larger T.Rex. There has already been much discussion about it on social media saying that LEGO did such and such.
The design teams at LEGO has released a statement on the LEGO Ambassador Network about this issue and hopefully it’ll ease some of the concerns that LEGO “copied” the project from LEGO Ideas. Take it however you like but keep in mind that LEGO plans upcoming sets years ahead before they are released as is noted in the statement below.
Based on these discussions I’ve engaged the LEGO Ideas team and the Jurassic Park Design team. Here’s the statement about the set:
Although the new 75936 Jurassic Park T-Rex Rampage set shares similarities in design to the LEGO Ideas submission “Jurassic Park” by senteosan, this model was developed entirely internally by a team of LEGO Designers who create great new sets that kids and adult fans alike are passionate about. The basis of their model was a large, grey, brick-built T-Rex created by LEGO Designer Mike Psiaki in 2012 when he joined the LEGO Group and from there the model evolved by including the iconic Jurassic Park gates to add additional building

Just a short time ago, I reported on the new LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga video game and we have just received the official press release and fact sheet about the game including some details about the gameplay. It’ll be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC and will be released some time in 2020.
Some of the new details include that players can start playing any of the nine saga films in any order. You can also play on either the light or dark side of the Force at many iconic locations from the films. Of course it will also have the LEGO humor that TT Games has always put in.
Check out the press release as well as more screenshots from LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga below.

Burbank, Calif. – June 9, 2019 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, TT Games, The LEGO Group, and Lucasfilm today announced LEGO® Star Wars™: The Skywalker Saga, a brand-new console game where players will experience memorable moments and nonstop action as told through the unique lens of LEGO. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the biggest LEGO Star Wars game, featuring all nine Skywalker saga films, including the highly anticipated conclusion to the series, Star Wars™: The Rise of Skywalker.
Last year, LEGO announced they will be collaborating with the popular Swedish furniture IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. After that announcement, we really didn’t hear much about it ever since but recently, IKEA put out a press release to announce BYGGLEK which are some new products coming out in 2020 to stimulate play around the home. Although LEGO is geared towards kids, BYGGLEK will cater towards everyone, kids and adults alike. There’s not much else revealed from the press release but I’m sure more details will emerge by the end of the year.
In a surprise announcement out of left field this morning, LEGO revealed there will be some new LEGO Minions: The Rise of Gru sets coming in 2020. There’s not much information to go on but the clip on social media shows a minions looking around. Minions: The Rise of Gru will be in theaters on July 3, 2020 so we can expect to see the sets probably around next spring.
This is the second announcement of LEGO branching out to more animated films. If you remember, LEGO teased that some Trolls World Tour sets could be coming out next year as well.
Back in April during Star Wars Celebration 2019, I talked about a new LEGO Star Wars video game coming out later this year and it looks there’s more information about this game the past few days. I was directed to Pure Playstation who is reporting that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are ready to reveal the game at E3 2019 in two weeks. According to their post, there’s going to be a demo theatre presentation showing it off so I assume there’s going to be video of it online as well.
This unknown LEGO Star Wars video game is rumored to be a completely remastered and will feature all nine films from the Skywalker saga as well as some of the Star Wars Extended Universe. Since this game is said to be the “most important game TT has released” so we’ll probably have more details about it in the upcoming weeks/months.
