Get ready to head to take to the stars with LEGO City, as the new summer 2019 wave of space-themed sets are available in the USA starting June 23.

I find this theme to be kinda baffling. I’d rather see modern space stuff than a theme that bridges the gap between that and the Mars Mission theme. But the Rocket Assembly & Transport set does look pretty cool, and I like the new robots, and the new geode pieces are totally unexpected. Space R&D also seems like a fun set.
Sadly they are not available in the US yet. The website has shifted from saying coming soon 06/23/2019 to just coming soon. I just called Lego customer support and they confirmed the release date for these sets in North America is not until August 1st and that it must have been a marketing error :'(
You may want to check your sources. Originally the sets were supposed to be sold starting on June 23rd, but once again LEGO has lied and now it just says “coming soon” with no date.
Maybe it was a glitch. I see them as available.
Sorry for the confusion, everyone. Generally, new sets are available in the US beginning at midnight Eastern time, which is when our article went live. This time, the availability was delayed was a few hours. However, they are all available now.
Yep, not to contradict my own comment above but about 1100 am est they showed up as available, I called Lego back and after being on hold for 15 minutes the “team lead of investigation” (who knew that was a title at Lego lol) came onto the call and said there was a back end issue where one part of the system said June 23, the other said August 1st, and they now have it communicating correctly. Weird glitch xD
Love that people pack. TLG is really going for my wallet this year.
Any idea when these will be available in retail stores as opposed to online LEGO shop and LEGO stores exclusively?
