New polybags now in brand stores
Posted by Huw,
Five polybags labelled LEGO Xtra are now available in European brand stores.
The sets provide an easy and inexpensive way to acquire food, greenery, street furniture and so on. Hopefully they are the first of many.
In Denmark they are 40dkk. I believe the price in the eurozone is 3.99€.
Well get them added to the database when we're back from Billund.

Definitely going to try and pick some of these up - you can never have too many plants!
cool. I wish there was a brand store in Norway so I could get some of these :(
THE ONE ON THE RIGHT
Really cool! I hope they do an accessory pack with swords, shields and other 'Castle' elements.
When I came out of my Dark Ages in 1993, LEGO was doing themed accessory packs, mostly in the 504X, 505X and 506X range. They eventually discontinued them, much to my disappointment.
Love these, great for city building. I might pick up a few of the ones with bikes, food, and plants
I've wanted sets like these to come back for years, I remember seeing packs of plants and various other pieces in Lego catalogs and it was a really nice way to get them for decorating your builds or layout. trees are rather rare and I've only seen them in winter village sets these past few years so this is gonna be a great way to get plenty of them.
They should make €10 sets of these. Re-introduce traffic signs, more streetlights, more greenery. Make the City look more like a city. And to continue in that direction. I'd love to see more everyday-stuff in city... Where's the supermarket/grocerystore? Postoffice? Hell, back the day there were houses. A city doesn't consist of 80% police and the firebrigade. That's why I just love the pizzatruck!
It takes me back to the 80's and 90's when LEGO made the System folders where you could order extra pieces. Memories....
Ooh! Accessory packs! I haven't seen these since the 90s! I am totally going to track some down.
Finally! Now all those people that spent £2000 on the Lester blisterpack can get the umbrella that all the £6 Lesters have.
Slightly disappointed that the trees bag doesn't include a rerun of the old tall cypress tree or at least a retool of it.
They are changing hands for silly money on Ebay now.
Fantastic.
Holy stud-muffins. Accessory packs. They haven't done these in years.
Although, yeah, I gotta say it would've been lovely to see the old cypress tree back.
Now, if only Lego would do a set like 6427, that would be great. Its only been what, 19 years?
i want polybag with plants
Wish they would bring back the round/fruit trees
£2.99 in the UK, saw them in store this morning. An excellent way to furnish a Lego town, i hope they sell well to make them make more!
ACCESSORY PACKS. THEY'RE BACK!!
Hurry up and come Stateside!
Please bring these to the US. Please bring these to the US. Please bring these to the US.
Love them all especially the food and plants/flowers ones.. Might get two next week if they sell them at Manchester arndale lego store?
I NEED all of them
Yes! Now they need to do Castle Xtras and Space Xtras.
Sausage Xtras pls
Wish to see some "green" set in CITY line or as a modular
finally a cheep way to get all kinds of food!!!
£2.99 in UK
Reminds me of that accessories pack for City
@Paul_merton: it's a bloody shame they aren't included in 40309!
Gonna get them all when I make it to the shop in Cologne 4/8, probably multiples of 40309.
@paul_merton
We also need GREEN sossidges for all such as gherkins an cucumbers
This is exciting news and I'll definitely be getting multiples. That said, I really wish they'd make packs of generic printed tiles, or even less generic street signs, hazard striping, LETTERS, etc.
FINALLY!
These look great. I like the idea of having extra packs of parts with added value to the MOCs and display. My favourite are the greenery packs. For some reason I get a good vibe about these, looks like TLG is looking back in the history to bring back some interesting packs.
Oh wow. This is terrific! I'm hoping they're available here in the States.
It would be great if these were available in North America. I'd buy a bunch of these.
these look great for a lego city. mayhaps we will see them in jangbricks lego city :)
I echo the previous sentiments - terrific move by Lego and at a great pocket money price too. Would love to see these spill out to other retailers too for those of us not near a brand store though.
I honestly thought they had replaced the yellow pizza with the tan (brick yellow) one. Hmm
Love this idea. We've been missing this for years, and the price seems pretty good.
Superb. Picked up three today from Stratford LEGO store. £2.99 in UK
I rwally hope that they are available from Shop @Home specially the plant pack.
If I were to get one it would definitely be the streetlight pack, since it has the best ppp count.
NO. FRIGGIN. WAY. Trees are back!! Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee!! Please come to my neck of the world soon!!
Wow I love these!
I really hope these make it across the pond to the US.
I want loads of these to help decorate a city ! Hopefully they will be more widely available!
Please bring back doors, windows, wheels and roofing parts packs.
No kidding. If these are released in the US I'll buy many many multiples on a single visit to the store without a thought. Maybe only a couple of the food bag, but easily 10 each of the others.
[EDIT] Please pardon the drool..
I hope these come to the USA
Man, to think I purchased the medival marked to get a turkey that now is available in a polybag
Any idea on when they will be in North America? I really love these and would buy them!
Also hope they sell those at the licensed stores too...!
It is about blooming time they brought back city accessory packs, and not just minifigure packs. I won't be needing them myself, but as a kid things like this were just so essential to my LEGO city. Good to see them, I'm sure they will be big seller, and look to be good cheap little gifts for kids.
Yay just like the classic extras :)
What stores are these in?
No lego store close:(. Any chance these make it online?
It seems like EU official offline store only. Each store got one box per design, 50x5 bags.
This is a brilliant idea: the packs are awesome! Even the price is lower than I would have expected! :D I need at least a copy of each bag! Looking forward to these, and the possible next ones! Could TLG be bold enough to release accessory packs for licenced themes?
By the way, could these tree and leaves be made with the new, greener kind of plastic that they advertised several months ago?
Whoa, all those new flower elements! Curious to know if the Flora-pack parts are made from the new Bio-ABS LEGO has been pressreleasing about..
LEGO Brand stores means also LCS?
They need to have these hanging by the checkouts at WalMart and Target. I don't need more 30354 Hot Rods (still at local Target) but I'd buy at least one of these polybags every time I see them (if they don't get silly about pricing).
Two bikes and an umbrella in a poly bag? Two yellow frogs and three of the new plant stems in the same polybag? A lime green camera and a whole turkey?
Looks like I won’t be visiting Bricklink for once.
@datsunrobbie
They probably will, based on the fact that they will be so desirable, and the quantity of stuff you get
I love that there are more likes on this than the Bugatti
I understand why when it comes to "sets" TLG does a limited run then stops & moves on to something else due to new movies being released, keeping product lines fresh etc, but I cannot understand why they don't ALWAYS have basic accessory packs like these available because as indicated by the comments here they would ALWAYS sell (assuming a reasonable price...)
ARE YOU LISTENING LEGO?!?
Trees! Bicycles! At reasonable prices!
Is that umbrella piece new?
I just realised two things:
A) new lantern piece from the Harry Potter sets.
B) CLASSIC PIZZA
Assuming these are priced along the lines of when polybags occasionally make their way to my local Walmart, I can see myself buying several every time I'm there. I'd like to see some focused on minifigure gear, such as tools.
FINALLY YES LEGO!
YES
@The_ToniBoeh.
I know. I can't wait to fill my LEGO City with litter!
Hope they do one with coins, gold bars and cash
Hey, these are pretty good!
These are awesome, finally something useful from a polybag. This being said, they do feel like that City Accessories set split into polybags...
McBoom - just buy Creator.
These are great for specific needs. You get what you need and none of the useless pieces that you don't need. I think it's a sound idea.
One hopes Lego will make more money from these pocket money priced toys than the Bugatti vanity set.
At last, Lego seems to coming back on the right track! Such bags are what afols and kids wanted all along! Now put some more pieces in them. Bring back the creative building into lego.
Cool, now we just need a Lego Brand Store on this Continent.
These look great! I love little parts packs, and these'll be handy for making gardens and feasts.
Picked these up at the Lego Store in Belgium today. Not many on the rails, only about 5-6 of each.
Holy crap, these are amazing! I've always kindof wanted a whole turkey, but they're so expensive on Bricklink.
do they sell them in the us
My understanding is they will be coming to LEGO North American Stores in August.
Yes these are fantastic. I hope these ones find their way to Woolworths and Coles in Australia as otherwise, polybags can be difficult to find here.
YES! More like this, please!
I’m clearly not alone when I say yes please, and more in the future.
What is between the red postbox and the camera in the streetlights set?
@AddictedToStyrene that's the new lantern element first seen in reveals of the Harry Potter Great Hall set.
Are these going to be available in LEGO stores across UK??
Picked up a few of each at the Leicester Square store today on my last day in London before we head back to the States tomorrow.
Now just re-release the cypress tree polybag! Please LEGO, PLEASE!!
I echo other comments -- These need to come to the US. Would buy a case of these, and would really help for my own MOC city plans in the future.
