The London Toy Fair has just kicked off and while it’s probably too early to be getting news of 2HY 2019 sets, LEGO has used the event to reveal a previously unknown LEGO Movie 2 set – 70839 The Rexcelsior!
Despite the inclusion of two minifigures, the set is actually meant to be microscale. It includes 5 micro builds: Emmet’s house, a forklift, 2 interaptors and a dropship. You also get Emmet and Rex microfigures and 5 micro raptor figures (3 metallic, 2 dark blue).
The ship takes the shape of a giant fist, and according the box you can hold it and shoot the rapid-fire, 6-missile spring-loaded shooter.
I really like the colour scheme of the Rex related vehicles and I like the over the top design of this. No Australian pricing or release information yet but as soon as I know more I’ll let you all know.
Check out some additional images and the official press release below.

quite like this one. I noticed that Rex’s ship in the trailer was vastly different to the one that was in the set, and I liked the one in the trailer much better. I assumed I was doomed to get a sub par overpriced set that didnt really depict what I wanted but I could possibly mess around with a bit to get something nice.
But with this new reveal I am now much more excited! I really love the design, and I for one am not that crazed about minifigures, so I dont mind that its micro scaled, I’m just glad that it’s an awesome set. I just hope it osnt too overpriced in Australia, and hopefully it will be easy to find
