Lego 76113 Spider Man Bike Rescue is a new 2019 set that was released in December of 2018. It has 235 pieces and is labeled for ages 6 and up.
I ordered this set from Target, and picked it up on the day it was released. Once I opened the box, inside were 2 labeled bags, one sticker sheet, one packet of lego web material and 2 instruction books.
Lego 76113 Pieces
There are 235 pieces in this set, including 3 minifigures. You get a fantastic Spider Man Minifig, a Carnage Minifigure, and a Miles Morales minifigure. You also get to build a motorcycle, and a little laboratory build with some canisters that can be launched by pressing a button. Plus there are lots of web attachments for all the different Spideys.

Lego 76133 Review
This is a pretty easy set but isn’t my first choice for beginners. If you are looking for a good LEGO set for a beginner then check out the Spider Man Car Chase from the same series.
In this set, you get 2 instruction books. The steps are not too complicated and easy to follow for someone who is just getting started collecting LEGO.
What comes in the box.Lego Spider-Man Minifigure
I began to put the set together starting with book one. This bag had the Spider-Man Minifigure in, so that was the first thing I built.
The rest of the pieces in the bag were used to build Spidey’s rescue bike. It’s an over sized motorcycle with extra wide wheels so it doesn’t fall over. Instead of sitting on the motorcycle, Spider-Man stands on it. On one side is a point of attachment for the LEGO web material, and on the other is a stud shooter that is modified to shoot little silver Lego Spiders.
The bag took me about 10 minutes to assemble, but someone else might spend 30 minutes on it.
Bag number 2 went with book 2.
Lego Carnage MinifigureLego Miles Morales Minifigure
There were 2 minifigures in this bag, Mile Morales and Carnage.
You an have all the extra arms on Carnage, or leave him more like a traditional minifig. You can see which direction I chose.
The rest of bag 2 has the parts needed to make the power generator (with exploding feature). DON’T worry, the exploding part is a simple lever with two small LEGO brick canisters on it. I was able to launch them like 1 foot in the air at most.
The rest of the console has some stickers, and other detail functions, but the main play feature is the motorbike and the minifigs.
Exploding Control Console
Sometimes you get a few extra pieces with some sets. This set had an assortment of smaller pieces left over.

Lego 76113 Release Date
This set was released in December of 2018, although it is labeled as a 2019 Lego Marvel set. I paid for this set with my own money.
Lego 76133 Spider Man Car Chase is a new 2019 set that was released in December of 2018. It has 52 pieces and is labeled for ages 4 and up.

Lego 76133 Pieces
There are 52 pieces in this set, including 2 minifigures. You get a fantastic Spider Man Minifig and a Green Goblin Minifig. You also get to build a car, a flying platform for Green Goblin, a flaming pumpkin for throwing, a 100 Lego Bill, and some web to play shoot from Spidey’s hands.
Lego 76133 Review
This is a real beginner set. The instructions are simple and clear, and usually have one element per page. Also most of the pieces are larger, although some are smaller.
LEGO Spider ManLEGO Green Goblin
First I built the two minifigs. They go together in the traditional way, with a torso, head, and legs. Spider Man doesn’t have any hat (or hair), but the Green Goblin does. The GG also has two faces, and spidey only has one.
Next I built Spider Man’s car. It was an easy build, with simple instructions and no unique building techniques. It was fun, and would be a great set for a first time builder.
LEGO 76133 Spider Man Car Chase
Next I put together the flying platform for the Green Goblin. Coming in with less than 10 pieces it is small but looks like the real Green Goblin Glider. It even has a clip in the back to hold his bag (which would be full of pumpkin bombs.
As for accessories, you get a web and a net for Spidey, and a 100 bill which the goblin has most likely stolen. You only get one flaming pumpkin, and I would have liked to see one or two extra.
Sometimes you get a few extra pieces with some sets. This set didn’t have any extra pieces.

Lego 76133 Release Date
This set was released in December of 2018, although it is labeled as a 2019 Lego Marvel set. I paid for this set with my own money.
This is my very first income report for by Lego Blog and YouTube Channel.
First of all I want to thank all 10 of my new YouTube Subscribers, and everyone that visited my website in the last 30 days.
Starting a profitable Lego affiliate site isn’t easy. I don’t expect to be in the black for at least a year, maybe more To that end, and so that I don’t go into debt spending I began to drive Uber. Yes, I could just put all the sets on a new zero payments for 6 months credit card, but since I don’t know exactly when this site will begin to make money I decided it was better to use some of my spare time making some extra money doing ridesharing.
One thing I learned is that it is very hard to be FIRST with quality Set Reviews.
There are multiple things that make it hard to be first. You have to know what sets are coming out. You have to know where to get the sets (which store will have them in stock). Then you have to quickly assemble the set AND film it at the same time. Then you have to edit, and upload a quality review all within 24 hours. But that’s not the end. Throughout the month you need to promote the video (and blog post) on social media to drive traffic to the sites.
There are several great YouTube LEGO channels who seem to have a great system for doing all of the above. I know with time and experience, I will be there, too.
LEGO Blog Costs for December 2018
Set Costs:
Overall I purchased the 3 new sets that came out spending $409.33
Website Costs – starting my website was $9.95 for the domain name and $119.40 for a year of hosting.
Other Costs – there were no other costs at this time.
Overall I spent $538.68 to get this site up and running.
YouTube Income Report for December 2018
After starting my channel from zero videos and zero subscribers, I was able to publish 3 videos. Only 3 sets were released last month, so that was all I did. I spent a lot of time learning how to film, edit, keyword, and publish videos on YouTube. I still have a lot of work to do to get them to they style that I want.
I got 10 subscribers in this first month. If you are one of those 10, THANK YOU!
I also learned that I need to get more professional gear to achieve the look and style that I want.
Of course I can’t start to monetize my channel until I get 10,000 views. As of right now I’m only at 740, so I still have a ways to go.
Thankfully, I just picked up 5 new Spider-Man LEGO sets, and will review those and that should help me get more subscribers and viewers.
Lego Blog Report for December 2018
One of the biggest challenges for starting the blog was learning what LEGO sets are coming soon!
Another issue is that new sets aren’t always on the sites where I have affiliate codes (like Amazon) so I have to go back and check for links and change them as I go.
So I didn’t make any money yet, but I am increasing my subscribers, clicks, and views, and expect to be bringing in some income in the next month or two, and making a profit by the end of the year!
The other day I did a quick google search for a list of all the new sets that include the Plants from Plants elements.
If you haven’t heard, LEGO® has made a public commitment to change from petroleum based plastics to plant based materials by 2030. I know it seems like 2030 is a long time in the future, but in reality it is only 12 years away. Where will you be in 12 years?
Currently only trees, leaves, and other botanical objects are made from this new plant based plastic. Sugarcane, yes the stuff sugar comes from is the base, and it is identical in composition to all other LEGO® bricks previously made.
That means there is no way to tell the difference between the old trees and the new trees.
Right now, only two sets have the Plants from Plants elements.
The first set was released in the late summer of 2018 as a promotional set with a purchase at LEGO® stores. I picked up a few, and I am unable to tell the difference between old and new trees bushes, and plants.
Set 40320 – Plants from Plants came with:
16 Green 30176 Bamboo Leaves 3X3
4 Lime green 2423 Limb Element, Small
3 Green 6064 Bush
2 Green 2435 Spruce Tree, Small
4 Green 6148 Palmleaf, Small
Vestas Wind Turbine Plants from Plants
The second set to feature the LEGO® Plants from Plants is 10268, the new VESTAS Wind Turbine. Moving towards green energy and sustainability, it was an obvious choice for this set to have the new eco friendly parts.
The wind turbine came with 2 large trees, 1 small tree, 2 bushes, and 5 flower stalks. I’m not sure the flower stalks are made from the new plant based plastics, but I am guessing they are. The item number is 6135278 which is the same for all other flower bases. When I compare it with the item number for a tree (347128) from the same set, I get similar results. It looks like there won’t be an easy way to differentiate the old vs new.
Until then, we will have to look for the Plants from Plants logo.
Personally, I’m very excited for this change. Our world has limited resources, and I want to make this a better place for future generations. How about you?
For several weeks, this set, LEGO set 75952, Newt’s Case Magical Creatures, sat in my to be built pile. I didn’t know how cool this set was until I actually saw the movie. Once I did, I know I had to build the creatures. That’s how it started.
This set comes with 4 minifigures, 3 brick built creatures, and a cleverly designed case to hold them all together. I don’t want to give away too much about the movie, or the different creatures. Let me give a little back story, that should help clear some things up, and explain more about this set without giving away any spoilers.
This set is based on the 2nd movie in the Fantastic Beasts storyline. It comes about 60 years before the Harry Potter books we all know and love. This movie, “The Crimes of Grindlewald” has a bad guy – Grindlewald, who isn’t part of this set. Of course there is a “good guy” too – and that is Newt Scamander.
Newt is an amazing wizard. Not only does he know lots of different spells, but he really has a soft spot for animals. Not just any animals, but special magical creatures. He takes them in, so they won’t be hunted or hurt. He befriends them and they trust him. Of course they are still wild, and cause some mischief, but I’ll save that story so you will have a great experience watching the movie.
Anyway, I had this set just sitting on my shelf with a bunch of other sets that I figured I’d get around to building some day, or selling after they were retired and increased in value.
But then after I saw the movie, I knew these builds would be perfect for Instagram Photos. Be sure to check out my IG page for more.
Here’s a YouTube video of my build.
Building Bag 1
In the first bag, there are 2 minifigs, and 2 flying creatures. Newt Scamander with his Niffler, and Tina Goldstein holding a white teapot.
Lego Tina GoldsteinLego Newt Scamander
The first creature to be built is an Occamy. It’s egg shells are made of silver, and it has the ability to grow (or shrink) into the space available to it. That means if it is in a big room, it is a HUGE creature, or it can shrink to fit inside a teapot.
Lego Occamy
The other Creature in bag 1 is the Thunderbird. It has 3 sets of wings – that can, according to legend flap strong enough to create a storm.
Lego Thunderbird
Building Bag 2
There are about the same number of pieces in bag 2 as in bag 1. There are also 2 minifigures in this bag – Queenie Goldstein, and Jacob Kowalski, plus an Erumpment.
Lego Queenie GoldsteinLego Jacob Kowalski
An Erumpmet is a cross between an elephant and a rhino – but has a magical power where it can inject lava (or something like that) into trees and other such things.
Lego Erumpment
On a side note, I got to meet Alison Sudol, the actress who plays Queenie at LeakyCon in Dallas this last summer. I gave her one of the new (at the time) minifigs of her character, and got her signature in return.
Building Bag 3
Bag three begins to build Newt’s magical suitcase.
When I used to play Dungeons & Dragons so many years ago, one of the first possessions I received, and my most treasured one was a bag of holding. It was a small bag, big enough for my hand to fit into, but could hold whatever I put into it.
Newt’s suitcase is exactly like that, but more. When he opens his suitcase, a whole different world is inside. It’s basically his own personal zoo, with different environments suited for each creature he has rescued.
Building bag three of this LEGO set hints at that zoo. It is also similar to the recently published LEGO Pop-Up Book, however instead of using the SNOT technique it is more of a traditional plate build.
There is a cool little house built into one side and the roof opens to show what’s inside.
Building Bag 4
Bag 4 finishes off Newt Scamander’s case. There are basically four parts: The house, left and right sides, and the top. Tons of great details built in. Each section is hinged, and the entire case folds closed for transport.
Inside it is minifigure scale, but unfortunately it’s not big enought for all the figs and creatures to fit inside (that would be super cool).
Overall, this became my second favorite set from the new release of the Lego Harry Potter Incredible Beasts sets. My favorite, of course is the Hogwart’s Express, but only because I LOVE LEGO trains.
When I can’t build LEGO, I turn to YouTube to watch others build LEGO.
I watch everything from set reviews, to MOCS, to trains, to organization, and everything in between.
This page has my 30+ favorite LEGO Youtubers, and i think I have it set up so that it imports the most recent videos from each of the creators and builders

Earlier this week, My wife got me tickets to see the new Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts movie “The Crimes of Grindlewald” a few days before it’s general release.
Suddenly all the new LEGO Harry Potter sets began to make sense.
About half of the new Harry Potter Lego sets were based on the Classic Harry potter scenes – Quiddich, the Hogwarts Express, and the two builds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizzardry.
But two sets are based on new characters in the Fantastic Beasts Series, Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures and this set – LEGO Set 75951 Grindlewald’s Escape.
With 2 minifigs, a Thestral, and a black Carriage there aren’t a lot of pieces, but the minifigs are exclusive, as is the magical horse.
The first minifig is Gellert Grindelwald. He was a very hard to get minifig in the blind bag series, and here he is a bit different (and better if you ask me). The other is Seraphina Picquery, who has a one of a kind purple wand. There are also some blue trans fireballs that can be launched directly from a minifigures hands which are pretty cool, and pretty easy to loose.
Originally introduced in “The Order of the Phoenix” Thestrals are invisible horses that are classified as dangerous, but can be tamed. Also they can only be seen by people who have witnessed death. They are only currently available in this set.
The Technics attachment for the front two wheels.
The final, and biggest build is the carriage. Black (of course) with a removable top and opening doors, there is room for a minifig inside on a red seat, and another in front in a brown chair. The front two wheels are attached using some Technics Bricks and that allows them to turn side to side, as well as rotate.
Overall I like this set a lot- I did quite a few shots with it on my Instagram account when the movie was released, and I think I’ll leave it together and find a spot for it in Brick Land.
I’ve just learned that there will be 19 new sets on December 26, 2018 from the upcoming LEGO Movie 2.
As I look through the list I see a few “must have” sets including UltraKitty, Benny’s Space Squad, and Metal Beards Heavy Motor Bike. Which ones are your favorites?

New Star Wars Sets Being Released in December
According to the Lego website, there is only one set being released December 2018.
With over 1000 pieces, and an initial price of $129.99 this new Star Wars Lego set includes 5, minifigures, an Advanced Tie Fighter, and has lots of playable features.
LEGO OVERWATCH Sets Coming soon
A few weeks ago was Blizzcon, where one of the most talked about events was the release of the LEGO Overwatch Sets.
Based on the popular videogame with the same name, this is the first time LEGO group has collaborated with such a theme. Typically they work with movies (like Star Wars) or superheroes (Like Marvel). But based on the amount of on line chatter and hype, I have a feeling this is going to be a very popular and collectible series of sets.
Right now, the six sets are available for pre-order on the Lego store website. Totaling 274.94 to pre order all of them, I’d suggest clicking the button now to lock in your order before they run out of stock.
According to the website, ordering now will guarantee shipping by Jan 1, 2019.
75970 Tracer vs. Widowmaker. (129 pieces) $14.99
75971 Hanzo vs. Genji. (197 pieces) $19.99
75972 Dorado Showdown. (419 pieces) $29.99
75973 D.Va & Reinhardt. (455 pieces) $39.99
75974 Bastion. (602 pieces) $49.99
75975 Watchpoint: Gibraltar. (730 pieces) $89.99
I have been able to find the set names and set numbers. There are photos out there too but as you know I only publish my own pictures on this site.
LEGO Spider Man Sets Coming Soon
Also on good authority, I understand there will be five new LEGO Spider-Man sets released most likely in December 2018. Walmart was reported to be the store that would be getting the sets, but we will have to see as it is too early to tell right now.
76114 $39.99 Spider-Man’s Spider Crawler
76113 $19.99 Spider-Man Bike Rescue
76115 $49.99 Spider Mech vs. Venon
76113 $9.99 Spider-Man Car Chase
76134 $29.99 Spider-Man: Doc Ock Diamond Heist

Over the years I’ve come up with a method to sort and store LEGO bricks that allow me to find the exact piece I need in just a matter of seconds. Getting to this point took a lot of work. The storage method I use takes up a lot of space. If you are interested in the best lego storage solutions, read on!
It’s a few days after Halloween and I just got back from my local LEGO store. I was there early for the release of the new LEGO IDEAS Pop-up Book. and let me say, this set is a lot cooler than I thought it would be.
Until then, we will have to look for the Plants from Plants logo.
