Live from the show floor at 2019 New York Toy Fair, we have new close-up images and video of the brand new LEGO Hidden Side series we revealed yesterday. These sets will be available starting in August.
LEGO Hidden Side is a new series designed with augmented reality to help bridge physical and digital play. The sets will be “haunted” via an app and kids will have to uncover mysteries and turn the sets back to normal by finding and releasing ghosts. TBB got the inside scoop from LEGO Senior Product Lead, Murray Andrews:
70425 High School
1,474 pieces | $129.99 US | €119.99 EUR
This high school transforms from a simple school into a possessed monstrous form, complete with teacher, classrooms, and more than meets the eye. The new hat and hoodie elements for our brave blogging heroes are a nice addition.

70424 Train
698 pieces | $89.99 US | €79.99 EUR
This haunted train fits on LEGO’s standard rail system and comes with some pretty spooky characters (and the new lantern element in what we are hoping is glow-in-the dark).

70422 Diner
598 pieces | $49.99 US | €49.99 EUR
The Newbury local Diner looks like it has seen better days, coming at you with a possessed double-torso chef and some questionable seafood. Though that brick-built shrimp signage is inspired!

70421 Truck

70420 Graveyard
