LEGO Architecture 2019 San Francisco (21043) and Paris (21044) Details

October 31, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We have some new details of the 2019 LEGO Architecture sets that will be coming next year. Alternate.at has listed two sets which are San Francisco (21043) and Paris (21044) and both will be the Skyline style that has been fairly popular among fans.

San Francisco has 565 pieces and will include the Painted Ladies, 555 California Street, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Salesforce Tower, the Coit Tower, Fort Point, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. The set is priced at € 49,99.

Paris has 694 pieces and its build will include the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysées, the Tour Montparnasse, the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. It is also priced at € 49,99

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) Amazon Sale

October 31, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s a decent sale going at Amazon for the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) that is 11% off the retail price. It is currently at $309.99 which saves you $40 on it. Outside of using VIP points, this is the lowest the set has been at. I’ve heard some rumors that the Ghostbusters Firehouse could be retiring soon but I can’t confirm the validity of it. Considering that the set was released back in January 2016 and direct-to-consumer sets have roughly a two year shelf life, it wouldn’t be out of the possibility that it might be gone after this year.

If you want to earn VIP points on this set, today is the last day of Double Points on Shop@Home and you’ll be able to earn 699 points from it. That means you’ll be getting back $35 from points but that’s still less than the Amazon sale so you’ll have to decide which way to go.

Last Day for LEGO Double VIP Points – October 2018

October 31, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today is the last day to make your purchases on LEGO Shop@Home for Double VIP Points for October. This was a surprise promotion that wasn’t listed on the October store calendar so it’s worth making your purchases now. It’s unsure if there are any more general double points promotions for the last two months of the year but it seems likely that Black Friday weekend might have one since they’ve done it in the past. The November store calendar shows double points but on certain sets on VIP.LEGO.com.

LEGO Seasonal 2018 Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) Revealed

October 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s a nice surprise that has recently showed up on LEGO’s servers. The new 2018 LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) has been uploaded to the servers and that means more than likely the exclusive ornament will be a gift-with-purchase set this holiday season.

There are no details on the availability at this time it’s nice to see it return after taking a year off last year. We’ll most likely see how to get it when the December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few week. Below are my reviews of the LEGO Christmas ornaments from the previous years.

2014 Christmas Train (5002813)
2015 Christmas Tree (5003083)
2016 Toy Soldier (5004420)

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) Revealed

October 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar talked about some of the upcoming Black Friday promotions which includes doorbuster deals and exclusive offers but it didn’t mention or show anything for the promotion. It looks like we may have found out what one of the offers could be via the Chinese LEGO Store flyer. At the bottom of the flyer, it shows a limited edition Christmas Gift Box (40292) gift-with-purchase set from November 22-30. Here in the States, our promotions start on November 23 so it’s possible that we could also get this promotion set as well.

If you look closely at the set, you can see that it is able to open up to show a scene inside showing off what appears to be a living room on Christmas day complete with a Christmas tree and toys. It is worth mentioning that the footnote shows that the set is limited to 4,500 copies. I’m not sure if that amount is in that particular region or worldwide.

This set is not the only Christmas set this year has it has already been revealed there is also the Christmas Carousel (40293) as well. There’s no word at this time when that particular promotion will begin. As always, I’ll report any new information that comes out for these two sets.
