The European 2019 catalogs for the first half of the year are now available and they have confirmed there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4 sets coming. According to the Spanish catalog, there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4+ sets and the English version confirms there will be a LEGO DUPLO Toy Story set. Rumor has it that it is a train set with Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Since the movie comes out in June, the 4+ and DUPLO sets will probably come out in May.
It’s another year in the books and we are now finally able to take a look at the 2018 website traffic and changes on The Brick Fan. You may or may not have noticed, we made some major changes to the site during the summer and fall. We changed hosting companies which resulted in better stability and we also changed the website theme. It may not look that much different from the one we have when we first started the site back in 2012 but it is much smoother and has additional functionality.
As a result as far as numbers are concerned, we ended 2018 with 14,847,830 pages views and that is a whopping 63% increase in traffic from 2017. Everything across the board increased which you can see below.
In June, we spiked in traffic probably due to some behind-the-scenes things I was working on and in September, we rolled out the new layout. Our highest traffic day was on November 22 with 82,568 views. That was the day that images of the January 2019 sets started coming out.
Some other random high traffic days include:
– September 27: LEGO FORMA Theme Officially Announced
– October 10: LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987) Revealed
– October 22: LEGO Overwatch Official Images Found at Target
Finally, we finished with 886 posts for the year with 4,818 comments on those posts. Both counts are slightly down from 2017 but considering I was basically working three jobs at one period of time last year, that’s not too bad.… Continue
There is a new The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part polybag that has showed up on LEGO’s servers called Rex’s Plantimal Ambush (30640). It has 32 pieces and it features Chris Pratt’s Rex Dangervest along with plant-like creatures from The Jungle Planet.
I’m not sure of the availability of the polybag at this time. Since it is on LEGO’s servers, it could be a future gift-with-purchase promotional item however it has also showed up in Walmart’s system through Brickseek as well. This might mean that Walmart may get it later on in the year, similar to some other promo items in the past.
This brings the number of known polybags for TLM2 to six so far and their availability are as below:
Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) – Target
Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527) – Walmart
Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) – Walmart
Mini Master-Building Emmet (30259) – Walmart/Target
Star-Stuck Emmet (30620) – EB Games pre-order bonus

The LEGO Movie 2 sets have been available for a few days now and arguably the most popular set in this wave is Benny’s Space Squad (70841). At only $9.99, it has four different colored space minifigures which is something that fans highly desire. Currently, it is on backorder on LEGO Shop@Home and will ship in 30 days but if you can’t wait, some other retails have already started carrying the set as well.
Target online is also out of stock at this time but various locations may have them in store. Check out Brickseek to see which stores have them on the shelves or in the warehouse.
In addition, Barnes & Noble has it available online as well as in stores. You can check the availability of the set by entering your zip code to find stores closest to you. You can purchase online and pick it up locally.
Benny’s Space Squad will be more widely available at the beginning of the year so don’t worry if you can’t find it now. Don’t go paying flipper prices for it unless you really want it for some reason. I’ve already seen people selling and buying it for over $20. Keep in mind that it also may be a little difficult to find when the movie comes out in February because of the hype surrounding the movie. For what you get at that price point, I can see that it’ll be popular for a long time.
We here at The Brick Fan would like to wish all the readers a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays. We hope that you got what you wished for this year and thank you for supporting us throughout the year. Without you guys, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Let’s close out 2018 with a bang and see what 2019 has in store for us.

If you’re looking for an even better deal on the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Quantum Realm Explorers (76109), Walmart has dropped the price on the set even more. It is now priced at $12.74 which is about 36% off the normal price of $19.99. At this reduced price, this set is an absolute steal with three exclusive minifigures and is the only set this year that is based on Ant-Man and the Wasp.
