At the same time at the 2018 New York Toy Fair, the LEGO Wizarding World theme was also announced. This theme will encompass both the original Harry Potter universe as well as Fantastic Beasts. In addition to the system sets, there will also be some LEGO BrickHeadz as well. The sets should start hitting shelves in August and we hope to see more at the Toy Faur this weekend.

A few days ago, LEGO announced that we will be getting some LEGO The Powerpuff Girls sets this August. In the reveal, they showed off the minifigures of Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom which are the same as the ones in the last wave of LEGO Dimensions.

Now as we lead up to the 2018 New York Toy Fair, The Geekiary has revealed some more minifigures for the LEGO The Powerpuff Girls including Princess Morbucks and Mojo Jojo along with some builds of Octi and Donny the Unicorn. I’m not that familiar with the characters but I do know Mojo Jojo and I needs to get my hands on that minifigure. The two sets that these minifigures will appear in include:

Bubbles Playground Showdown (41287) – Bubbles, Princess Morbucks, Octi
Mojo Jojo Strikes (41288) – Buttercup, Blossom, Mojo Jojo, Donny the Unicorn

LEGO at the 2018 New York Toy Fair

January 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The New York Toy Fair is happening next month and there’s some details about the LEGO booth that you should need to know before you get your hopes up about seeing the summer 2018 LEGO sets. Various media outlets have receieved their emails for the LEGO “Save the Date” preview party, including one of my contacts, and according to the email, LEGO will not be displaying any of the summer 2018 product lineup. This means there will be nothing for the 2018 second half sets (after June releases) which is a disappointment because it is something that fans really look forward to at this time of the year.

However, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything on display at the LEGO booth. We can probably look forward to the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets and the LEGO Star Wars Solo sets because they’ll be out before June. Other than that, there isn’t really anything else of importance since we’ve pretty much seen everything already that is set to be released in March-May besides LEGO Speed Champions. I don’t see them listed on the February 2018 Store Calendar so they’re probably spring releases.

This little detail about the 2018 New York Toy Fair comes to light a few days after it was revealed that LEGO won’t be at the London Toy Fair and will be somewhat restricted at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. I’m not sure why LEGO decided to change up the things at this year’s toy fairs but it’s a little saddening … Continue
