2018 came and went pretty quickly and it’s that time where I list my top 10 LEGO sets of the year. According to Brickset, there were 784 products that were released this year and only ten of them will be the chosen few to be on this list using various criteria such as price, importance, nostalgia. Again, this is my personal list and will differ from everyone else’s.
Earlier this year, LEGO celebrated the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and to commemorate the event, they released a promotional set which features four micro versions of classic LEGO sets including the Town Airport Shuttle, Yellow Castle, Pirates Black Seas Barracuda, and the Space Galaxy Explorer.

LEGO has been embracing the Chinese culture more the past few years and for the first time this year, they have made a set available here in the US with the Year of the Dog. This was a promotional set was easily obtainable and hopefully next year’s set will be easy to get as well.
Although this set is a few years late, LEGO released the UCS Hulkbuster back in March. It features the mech that fought against the Hulk in the movie with some nice features such as the light up arc reactor and decent posability.
A few weeks ago, LEGO announced that there will be some LEGO sets that will be exclusive to the Asian markets and official images of a couple of these set have surfaced online which were revealed during the China International Import Expo.
One of these sets is called the Chines New Year’s Eve Dinner (80101). The scene features a traditional Chinese dinner and it includes six minifigures. The set is labeled a Chinese Festival Special Edition set and will be released some time in January.
The other set is the Dragon Dance (80102) and it features a person dress as a pig as 2019 will be the Year of the Pig. There will also be some minifigures to hold the dragon and it appears that the set could be a kinetic one because of the lever on the left side of the set.

LEGO has announced that they will be launching the first elementary school STEAM classes for Chinese students starting next year. In order to do that, they will also be launching some region exclusive sets in China to celebrate the Lunar New Year and it will be the first time that the company has done that for a specific country. You can read the full press release in the link above. Note that the image was provided in the press release and it has a confidential watermark.
BrickLink has announced that they have teamed up with LEGO to launch something new called the AFOL Designer Program. According to the post, BrickLink will be hosting the program for a short time so I assume LEGO will be hosting it themselves in the future. There’s no word on what it is about but stay tuned on September 12 when they announce the details of the program. What do you guy think the AFOL Designer Program is about?
There are now more detailed images of the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) from the summer 2018 wave of the LEGO Creator sets. This year is the year of the roller coasters and it’s due time that we get something like this to add to the Fairground subtheme for LEGO Creator line. The first roller coaster was introduced with The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor (70922) and it reuses some of the tracks in a new and more restrained color.
The 923 piece Pirate Roller Coaster is a 3-in-1 set which means that the main model can be changed into two other models using the same parts. The set pays homage to classic Eldorado Fortress (6276) with the Imperial Fortress and you also get a skull to go along with it. The other suggested builds include a small back and forth track and a mini-go-round.
