You can get it with purchases of $35 or more on LEGO Marvel products (when the site is fixed). You may have to enter the set number in the search bar to add the item to your cart. Here’s a reference from Brickset if you don’t know the set numbers. The promotion will run from now until June 16, while supplies last. The promo for the Space Rocket Ride is also still going on with purchases of $99 or more if you want to get more bang for your buck.
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.

The LEGO Group, AND LUCASFILM ANNOUNCE LEGO® STAR WARS™: THE SKYWALKER SAGA
The Galaxy is Yours!
Play Through Favorite Moments from All Nine Star Wars™ Saga Films Like Never Before in a Brand-New LEGO® Video Game
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.
The LEGO BrickHeadz theme has surprisingly been very popular among fans and it was saddening that the rumor of it ending shook the community. It looks like we can finally put that rumor to rest as Zusammengebaut at LEGO Fan Media Days is reporting that the LEGO BrickHeadz theme is confirmed to be returning in 2020 lead by designer Marcos Bessa. It is also stated that not only will we get more BrickHeadz, licensed sets will also be returning as well.
You may have noticed that there’s been a lack of licensed LEGO BrickHeadz this year and the next one to be coming out will be Lady Liberty (40367) and it looks like the rest of the year will be pretty much the same.
On to my next review of the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary sets, I’ll be taking a look at the Snowspeeder (75259). It is an updated version of the original 7130 set from 1999. The Snowspeeder has 309 pieces and retail for $39.99.
