No real photos yet but definitely a 2020 dragon bar for the collection 

I have a few "tidy" ones" - - 😉
 

 

 
 
 

This is my current favourite.
 

Nothing mentioned on Perth Mint website http://www.perthmint.com/forthcoming-releases.aspx and cannot spot anything on LPM new arrivals (usually they let the cat out of the bag) https://www.lpm.hk/silver/new-arrivals.html
I am stacking these so I do keep an eye out for the release but I have not heard anyone mention anything so far.

I'm also a fan. I buy one tube of each year.
1. Not many 1 oz government issued coin bars out there
2. Nice designs
3. Limited mintage
4. Premiums not too high
5. Well known quality minting company

Looks like this is the dragon bar apprechiation thread now
I like @StevenDS idea of buying a whole tube for each year. I need more 2018's.

Breathtaking beautiful pictures of great coins
Thank you for posting!
I got also one  Silver Coin 2018 in Proof, for the golden one with only 188 mintage I must look for

Not much appreciation here, alas, very disappointed for such a lovely design - I will probably pick up a third successive tube (if the premium's not huge, like the first two years) but the first one the quality was dreadful on the ones I received (sealed tube but all dings and black spots in the exact same places on all the 'coins'). I didn't even bother opening last year's to look, just stored it away. Stupid from the Perth Mint but they always seem to fail with straight bullion, we expect it on the Roos but not on things like this (at least I don't), and such a shame on what should and deserves to be, imvho, a premium product.
No idea how/if it will affect the gold but I must say those have looked glorious from the start imo, wish I had/could afford those!
 

I remember someone was selling a 2018 gold proof version on here for £1250 early this year. I regret not buying it.

I'd love a little stack of gold 2018 bars.

Same here! I’m not a big fan of 1oz gold bars security sealed in plastic. However, the Perth Mint’s unsealed rectangular dragon coins are a wonderful exception to the rule.

Perth Mint has done the golden Rectangle Bullions perfekt. They come in plastic capsules from the Mint.
But the Silver Bullions come in Tubes, so some have  scratch on the edges

Unless it gets leaked/promoted, check back with me Feb/April 2020 (omg 2020)
It looks like Perth Mint tables a motion for authority with the senate around then.

Good little descriptions

My first gold was the 1oz 2018 dragon coin bar for this reason.

A plea to you all: sit on your hands.
We stand on the breakout of what will very likely be one of the greatest bull markets of our lifetime. Think about what has happened over the last 10 years: unprecedented level of stimulus into a monetary system that is no longer fit for purpose. This is much worse than the abuse of the system that drove the prior PM bull markets of 1971-1980 and 1999-2011. 
The fallout from this crazy experiment will drive the price of gold by similar factors over the next decade, just as it did during the previous bull markets. Bull markets always run longer and further than nearly all their early adopters think is possible.
PMs will be valued many multiples higher in the years to come. Scoot on over to a "mainstream" investment site like MrMoneyMustache or MoneysavingExpert and gold doesn't even figure on the radar. They are ALL about passive index funds and chasing the stock market. They worship VTSAX. If you are lucky you might find someone holding 20% bonds. They won't even look at gold until it has at least doubled from current levels, and even then they will be some of the earlier adopters. 
There will come a time to sell your PMs and buy something that is better value, but that time is still years away. It will be when everyone thinks it is a good time to be overweight on gold, when Dow/Gold is somewhere between a half to a quarter of its current level.

There is this one, kind of a silver sovereign.
