LEGO has released the official images of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2019 promotional set of the Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition (40333). It has 195 pieces and you can get it for free from May 3-6 with purchases of $75 or more in LEGO Star Wars products at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. As you can see from the set, it does not have a minifigure but it does include a printed 2×4 tile of the 20 Years of LEGO Star Wars.
This year, LEGO has released a number of regional exclusive sets including the 2019 Chinese New Years ones for the Asian regions, The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz from Target and Walmart, as well as the Star Wars Celebration Darth Vader Bust also from Target. Many of you have voiced your concerns over these exclusives and it looks like LEGO has finally listened.
Tormod over on the LAN has posted a brief statement about future region exclusives and it says that sets released after May 1st will be widely available at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home for a limited time after launch (3-6 months). This should give enough time for those who actually want an exclusive to be able to get them with ease without going through the secondary market. There’s still products that will be truly exclusive such as gift-with-purchase promo items, LEGOLAND, LEGO House, LEGO Inside Tour, and Comic Con items. This means that it looks like a lot of us will be able to get the recently revealed Dragon Boat Race (80103) without jumping through hoops.
What do you think of this massive change that LEGO is putting in place?
… ContinueDear AFOL Community,
It has become apparent to us at the LEGO Group that you are dissatisfied with the recent launches of regional exclusive products. We’ve received a lot of feedback on the LEGO festival products to mark the Chinese New Year (sets 80101 and 80102), the LEGO The Movie 2 Brickheadz (41634, 41635,41636 & 41637) in the US as well as the
Continuing on my reviews of the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets, the next set I’ll be taking a look at is the Clone Scout Walker (75261). It has 250 pieces and retails for $29.99. Like with the Imperial Dropship (75261), this set could be considered an army builder set if you want to build the Battle of Kashyyyk scene.
At the beginning of the year, LEGO released the Asia exclusive Chinese New Year sets but there was also another set that we couldn’t publish due to it being watermarked. We can finally post about the last set which is called the Dragon Boat Race (80103) which comes from online retailer Digibee. There’s no details regarding the set price or piece count but there are a whopping 15 minifigures that goes with it. As for the release date, it’ll probably be available around May or June for the Asia region countries since the Dragon Boat Festival will be held June 7-9. For us here in the US, we’ll have to get it off the secondary market or from a connection from someone who are able to get it from those countries. I assume this set will sell out fairly quickly just like the ones from earlier this year.

The new LEGO Technic Liebherr R 9800 (42100) was revealed at the 2019 Nuremberg Toy Fair but there were no images of the set until the Bauma 2019 convention last week.

CONTROL+ uses new electronic components and a free, linked app to give children and adults an even more authentic play experience.

The LEGO Technic model consists of more than 4000 parts, seven motors and two smart hubs, and can perform several movements at the same time. “We see our new Control+ App as a platform where we in the next many years have the opportunity to develop and deliver deeper and richer LEGO Technic play experiences with the physical model at the center, and we are happy to have
