In case you missed out on the opportunity of having the redeemed Sith Lord in a solo, minifigure form, then you’ll be glad to know that he’s back for the taking at shop.LEGO.com. After a brief stint last month, LEGO is throwing in once more the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) as a gift-with-purchase set for a qualifying purchase of any LEGO Star Wars sets $60 and above.
Belgian toy store Dreamland is now running a promo starting today until June 20, where you get a chance to bag a never-before-seen, extremely rare, LEGO Jurassic World T. Rex set for every purchase of any LEGO Jurassic World set in any of their stores. The site’s banner states that Dreamland will be giving away 100 of these exclusive sets, and that LEGO made 500 of these available worldwide. This means that other stores may carry out this promo as well.
I really can’t figure out the set number judging from the grainy box art image that Dreamland posted, but the T. Rex mounted on a brick-built pedestal is something that I’ve never seen before in any LEGO Jurassic World set. It seems to have a new, predominantly light and dark brown printing. I like this newer version of a LEGO T. Rex, which looks more ferocious because of it’s mean-looking face print.
This LEGO Jurassic World Limited Edition T. Rex comes in at 70 pieces, with no identifiable set number yet (I see it numbered as 4000001, but I could be wrong). Anyways, I just hope that LEGO will follow through with its promise of giving away 400 similar sets, and we’ll wait to see where these will eventually pop-up. Otherwise, expect the price on this set to absurdly spike up on eBay and other secondary markets.

When LEGO promotes an upcoming set for one of their numerous themed lines, they have the potential to go all out. This latest instance is proof of their promotional muscle. Among the upcoming new sets for the LEGO Friends line is a subset featuring the characters as go-kart racers.
The LEGO Group decided to do a two-for-one by having a celebratory gesture for pioneering female motorsports star Danica Patrick, and a promotional plug for the LEGO Friends Racing sets which will be out later this year. Last Tuesday, May 22, LEGO master builders put up a life-sized statue of Patrick built in LEGO at Times Square, New York City.
Before making a splash in racing history for IndyCar open-wheel racing and NASCAR, Danica Patrick started her competitive racing career on go-karts, the central vehicle of the new LEGO Friends Racing sets: Service & Care Truck (41348), Drifting Diner (41349), Creative Tuning Shop (41351), and The Big Race Day (41352).
LEGO Senior Director of Brand Relations Michael McNally puts it best saying, “Ms. Patrick is a true builder. From her earliest days as a young go-kart racer, she built her idea to be a challenger in kart racing…She is a phenomenal role model for all builders, particularly girls.”
As the LEGO brick has been an inspirational building tool for children, adds McNally, they felt it appropriate to make a LEGO brick-model tribute for Patrick this week before she embarks on her final appearance on the Indianapolis 500 this coming Sunday. The fact that doing so also advertises the LEGO Friends racing set was fortuitous opportunity.
The Summer LEGO set release, which also includes the aforementioned LEGO Friends in their racing gear and support infrastructure, will roll-out starting June 1st.
There are just so many ways you can enjoy playing with LEGO, from the conventional sets and products to some more…esoteric applications. One of these is the LEGO Mosaic Maker, a photo booth-sized machine that converts any image of you into a mosaic rendition, interpreted in differently shaded LEGO bricks.
Due to the (relatively) massive size of its needed facilities, the LEGO Mosaic Maker is a rather limited resource, set up as a service only in selected LEGO Store outlets. Those who go in for one will get a custom Personalized Mosaic Portrait (40179) set to build their LEGO-fied photo.
Hold your horses, though. To forestall the possibility of crowds, the Flatiron LEGO Store’s Mosaic Maker service must take reservations, to be made five weeks in advance of when customers drop by. So they’re holding a pre-booking event so you can sign up and reserve your spot at convenient dates.
Each LEGO Personalized Mosaic Portrait (40179) costs $129.99, to be prepaid at the Flatiron LEGO Store counter. They’ll then issue customers with the means to operate the LEGO Mosaic Maker booth: the Experience card with activates the contactless card reader. Hopefully more US LEGO Stores will get a booth soon.
We’ve had Marvel and DC, Jurassic World and Star Wars, The Incredibles and Disney Princesses, and car manufacturers too. That’s the magic of LEGO and its licensing deals with a variety of franchises and brands: specific LEGO sets that click with anyone. And here’s a new addition to those franchises.
Through a recent press release, videogame developer Activision Blizzard, from which iconic and popular game titles spring forth like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, made a surprise announcement at the start of the Licensing Expo 2018 this week. They mean to partner with LEGO which will result in a new series of products tying into one of their prize franchises: FPS hit Overwatch.
That’s right; this quirky yet fun shooter phenomenon will be covered in everybody’s beloved brick brand. LEGO Overwatch sets are said to come in different established LEGO product lines with variable price points, so there will be something for everyone.
One now wonders what sorts of LEGO Overwatch goodies we’re going to get in the future with this partnership. Perhaps sets recreating various game stages – with minifigures – might be the norm. But there might also be Overwatch character BrickHeadz, or maybe even buildable figures, like the ones for Star Wars.
This team-up with LEGO is the latest of many merchandising expansions for Overwatch and games of Activision Blizzard in general. They already have similar toy deals with Hasbro, and an exclusive clothing line to be produced by Japanese casual-wear brand Uniqlo. We’re looking forward to what LEGO will spin off.
Man, oh man, does LEGO sure know how to generate suspense, build up hype and just all around tease! There’re a lot of upcoming LEGO product previews we’ve been keeping tabs on; one’s a special LEGO Technic set that’s apart from the others already revealed, a beautiful TRON-like sports car.
We’re talking about the long-promised LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) that’s set to make its big introductory splash on the first day of June. They’ve even got a countdown clock going for it on the Chiron’s dedicated page at LEGO.com; but LEGO’s decided to give us one last product tease.
Said tease comes in the form of a new image of the completed LEGO Technic Chiron (42083) with a dark cloth draped over it, like any car hidden under tarp. This is a poster for the grand unveiling of the set in June 1, with lots of very important guests.
From the official LEGO Facebook page, the reveal of the LEGO Technic set 42083 will be done at the LEGO House in Billund, with the respective presidents of The LEGO Group and Bugatti Automobiles SAS in attendance. They’ll even host a live-stream of the event on FB, starting 9AM (CET).
That’s a lot of special treatment for this truly special addition to the LEGO Technic line, and we’re looking forward to seeing the thing next month. The June 1 event, to be live-streamed by LEGO would translate across time zones to be about 3AM East Coast, or 12MN out West.
LEGO is wise to announce its offerings for the 2nd half of 2018 as early as summer, because we really have to buffer our wallets again this time.
Alongside the official press release of the LEGO Powered Up System of Play, now comes another announcement from The LEGO Group that gives a full reveal of more than a hundred LEGO sets covering almost all of LEGO’s existing themes and licenses to be offered starting August of this year.
I’m particularly excited about the announcement of the LEGO CMF Series 19 which LEGO promises to release this year. There is virtually no information yet about what Series 19 will be all about, but I do hope it will be exciting as well. I’m a bit a disappointed that there is still no mention of the much awaited LEGO Ideas Voltron set so I guess we have to be extra patient again.
Read on for the full press release.

It looks LEGO is giving us a glimpse of what the future of brick-building might look like. Ever since the launch of LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox (17101) last year, LEGO has been developing sets and apps that merges the potential of the LEGO Boost, with a wide array of existing and soon to be offered sets. This trend was finally confirmed with LEGO’s official press release that highlights the Powered Up Platform System of Play.
From the LEGO Ninjago Stormbringer to the LEGO Duplo Trains, the Powered Up Platform mergers both digital and physical play that acts as a precursor for children to be introduced to the field of robotics and programming. Strictly speaking, this is not a first for LEGO since its introduction of the LEGO Mindstorms in the late ‘90s. However, seeing that robotics and coding is now becoming gradually integrated across LEGO themes and sets, is one exciting frontier to explore.
LEGO Powered Up System of Play will officially launch on July 1 while the LEGO Powered Up App will be available on both tablets and mobile phones operating on iOS and Android. Here’s LEGO’s full press release for more details on how the system works and what can we expect from it.
LEGO® Powered Up Platform Empowers More Builders to Bring Their LEGO Play to Life
LEGO® Batman™ App-Controlled Batmobile™ and More New Sets Join Growing Universe of LEGO Connected Toys That Blend Physical Play and Digital Creativity-
ENFIELD, Conn. (May 17, 2018) – Today, the LEGO Group announced the Powered Up Platform, a suite of new elements and apps, which introduce new ways to bring to LEGO® sets to life seamlessly across its System of Play. Revealed today as part of the Powered Up platform, the LEGO Batman™ App-Controlled Batmobile, inspired by DC’s Caped Crusader, is a buildable LEGO Batmobile that is fully controllable by smart device. It will also incorporate light coding and programming later in 2018.
Leveraging the power elements and coding language developed for last year’s award-winning build and code toolkit, LEGO BOOST, and other LEGO connected toys, Powered Up enabled sets give kids the ability to modify and personalize their experiences by adding dynamic motion control and in some instances simple coding. Powered Up LEGO sets will range from simply powered to remote controlled to smart device connected, creating endless customized play possibilities. Some building sets will ship with Powered Up capabilities included in the box, while others will be Powered Up-enabled, giving kids the option to add power features to their creations if they are interested.
“For 20 years, we have been creating new ways for children to combine technology and LEGO building, starting with the introduction of LEGO MINDSTORMS®, a robotics toolkit that pioneered the idea of a ‘smart toy,” said Michael McNally, senior director brand relations for the LEGO Group. “With Powered Up, we’ve established a flexible connected platform to enable innovative new play experiences that merge digital and physical play in natural ways that will delight and inspire the builders of today and tomorrow – while still focusing on the core physical play proposition of our System of Play – the LEGO brick.”
The LEGO Batman App-Controlled Batmobile, created for children 8 years of age and older, combines LEGO building and remote-control car play. It is the first codeable and programmable LEGO Batmobile that is fully controllable via smart device. Users can steer the Batmobile using one of two preset remote-control interfaces or personalize their experience through a customizable interface. With the interface unlocked, users move sliders, buttons and other elements to customize the remote control to their liking. Through a coding canvas that will be introduced later this year, users can code and re-code speed, direction, sound and duration to program various movements and stunts and create their own unique driving experiences.
Additional Powered Up sets launching in 2018 include the LEGO City Passenger Train and LEGO City Cargo Train, which add simple remote-control functionality to classic LEGO building. The LEGO DUPLO® Steam Train and LEGO DUPLO Cargo Train introduce kids as young as 2 years old to cause and effect play, a pre-cursor to coding, with low-tech brick accessories that utilize sensors and color-coded train track elements.
The Powered Up offerings join a growing portfolio of LEGO connected toys that bridge physical and digital play. The LEGO NINJAGO® Stormbringer dragon and LEGO City Arctic Scout Truck allow children to leverage elements from the LEGO BOOST build and code toolkit to add behavior and movement. Builders can also add LEGO BOOST elements to the new LEGO Creator Expert Roller Coaster to motorize the chain lift and set a roller coaster in motion with realistic sound effects.
The Powered Up Platform launches July 1. The LEGO Batman App-Controlled Batmobile will launch August 1 with the suggested retail price of $99.99 and includes 321 pieces, two motors and a battery hub. The Powered Up App works on phones and tablets running iOS 8.0 and up or Android 5.0 and up.

Following the official release of the latest LEGO Powerpuff Girls, Star Wars, and Minecraft set images, now comes the announcement of four LEGO Technic sets all scheduled for an August 1st release. Knowledge about these sets was floating around the internet and LEGO fan forums since December last year, with even one of the sets placed on display during a Russian Toy Fair. So it’s a relief to finally see their set images up close.
Finally, it’s no longer a secret as we now have these official, crisp images to behold. Fans of the LEGO Technic theme will be excited to see the Rough Terrain Crane in action in all its 4,000 pieces of glorious LEGO pieces and new LEGO Power Functions 2.0. For now, check out these images and let them do the talking.
