Although the official release month for the new-for-2015 LEGO Mixels Series 4 figures sets isn’t until February 2015, I’ve become pretty accustomed to finding every Mixels series at least two-to-three weeks earlier than expected.
Thus, I would have wagered a fair bit that the Series 4 Mixels LEGO sets would appear by the third week of January–and I would have won! The LEGO 2015 Mixels Series 4 figures are now being sold by some online sellers and are trickling into stores!

I had to go out and combat the treacherous cold last night in a mighty quest for sugar-free Rock Star (don’t ask), and my voyage brought me back to my nearest Target store. The energy drink was obtained–but more importantly, I got my first look at the new Valentine’s Day section, and the two LEGO polybags in it… including the LEGO Friends Smoothie Cart 30302 and the brand-new LEGO Swamp Police Helicopter 30311!

In case you’ve been in a self-imposed media blackout for the last two years, you may not have heard, but there’s this movie coming out in December 2015: Star Wars The Force Awakens (AKA Star Wars Episode VII). As you might imagine, it’s a pretty big deal. And as such, I don’t think anyone will be surprised to hear LEGO is planning a whole LEGO Star Wars Episode VII line of sets. But you may be surprised to hear that the Summer 2015 LEGO Star Wars sets will be split into two months–with the LEGO Episode VII sets releasing on a true holiday: my birthday!

Ever since it was announced at the end of November 2014, LEGO Star Wars collectors had been looking forward to the free LEGO AT-DP promo polybag available at the LEGO Store in January 2015.
But I guess that the old saying of “if you snooze, you lose” is true in this case, because I’ve now received official confirmation from the online LEGO Shop that the 30276 LEGO AT-DP is completely sold out!

Despite the fact that the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham video game was one of the biggest games of 2014, LEGO really didn’t produce very many new LEGO Batman sets to coincide with the release of the game. But 2015 is sweeping in to the rescue, and one of the exclusive Winter 2015 polybags will further expand the LEGO Batman 3 universe in toy form!
Exclusively arriving at Toys R Us shortly, it’s the LEGO Joker Bumper Car 30303 set!

I love the holidays more than most people, but now that they’re over (although the LEGO Winter Village will be out for a few more weeks), it’s time to catch up on some minor news beats I missed over the last few weeks.
And first up is one of the first brand-new polybag sets of 2015. Coming exclusively to Toys R Us stores soon–it’s the LEGO Creator Tiger 30285 set!

I make it a point to see every movie that comes out that has its own LEGO sets (even “The Lone Ranger” *shudder*), so it won’t shock anybody that I went out New Year’s Eve to see The Hobbit The Battle of Five Armies. The movie was, uh… not my favorite Peter Jackson film, but I did like at least a few of the characters.
And one of them just may be the final LEGO Lord of the Rings figure ever produced–the exclusive LEGO Bain minifigure has now been revealed!

Most people my age stay up partying for hours past midnight on New Year’s Eve. Me? I was in bed within five minutes of the ball dropping on TV. See, it’s important to me to be able to get up bright and early each January 1st, as it’s always quite a big day for LEGO collectors. And today was no exception, as a ton of new-for-2015 LEGO sets became available today online and in the LEGO Stores! And for those not lucky enough to have a local LEGO Store to visit, I went ahead and took a “few” photos this morning…

When grainy photos of the box for the 2015 LEGO Detective’s Office 10246 Modular Building leaked out earlier this week, I did my very best to talk about the set without actually going into any level of detail about it. Why? Because I was saving myself for the beautiful, hi-res images of the LEGO 10246 Dectective’s Office that I knew were only a few days away! Thankfully, I don’t have to exercise restraint anymore–the LEGO Detective’s Office modular building has finally been fully revealed, and now I can talk about the set freely in all its glory!
UPDATE 1/1/2015: The LEGO Detective’s Office is now available for order online!

While she’s traditionally not a LEGO fan, lately Ideas is striking all of the right chords with my wife! First, they came out with the awesome (and quickly sold-out) LEGO Research Institute 21110 set of female scientist minifigures, which appealed to my wife professionally (what with her being a science teacher and all). And now, the latest fan-designed set plays on my wife’s favorite recreational interest: birding! Coming in January 2015–Birds 21301, the ninth Ideas set!
UPDATE 1/1/2015: The LEGO Birds set is available for order online today!

I was surprised yesterday when LEGO posted the February 2015 Store Calendar a day early–but that’s not all that went up ahead of schedule!
Even though they weren’t advertised as being available until January 1st 2015, qualifying orders at the online LEGO Shop are now being packed with the promo LEGO Flower Cart, mini AT-DP and Mini Golf sets!

Ordinarily we have to wait until the final day of a month for LEGO to post the newest LEGO Store Calendar, but in this case, the final day of the month is also the final day of 2014! Everyone wants to have a fun and carefree final day of the year, and LEGO is apparently no exception! And so, one extra day early, the February 2015 LEGO Store calendar has now been posted!
There’s not a whole lot of surprises to sink our teeth into, but we do get confirmation of the rumored LEGO Driller promo–which turns out to be the free LEGO City Demolition Driller 30312 set!

Well, now–! I’m not surprised to see another 2015 LEGO Exclusive set uncovered (what with the crazy number of leaks in the last month), but I am definitely surprised by the content of this set.
Hot on the heels of the popular LEGO Superboy minifigure cube that was released as a Target exclusive this winter, we’ll be getting another LEGO Minifigures Set of four minifigures in cube packaging in 2015–this time with… a LEGO Lightning Lad minifigure!?

Well, any skepticism that I had regarding that leaked list of LEGO Store 2015 exclusives that appeared online last week is definitely fading. One of the items on that list was the supposed LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2015 Admiral Yularen minifigure.
I didn’t really doubt a LEGO Admiral Yularen would be the promo–there was just no proof. But, well… now there is! The May the 4th 2015 LEGO Star Wars Admiral Yularen minifigure promo has now been revealed!
