The weekend after Christmas is now complete, and by now LEGO has to accept that they have made every dollar that they’re going to off of this year’s Christmas holiday. But fear not–LEGO has become quite adept at cashing in on each and every major holiday, and they’ll do so again with a new set due out in the next couple weeks! Give the gift of LEGO love to your sweetheart with the 2015 LEGO Valentine’s Day Dinner 40120 set!

Y’know, it’s a good thing that I prefer talking about LEGO to just about anything else in the world, because the news just keeps on rolling in–holidays or no holidays! This week, a colossal leaked list popped up, which (if true) revealed and confirmed the majority of the exclusive 2015 LEGO Store sets and promos! Here’s my thoughts on the items on the supposed list (and its validity)…

I really thought that the last couple weeks of the years would be quiet for LEGO news and I wouldn’t be missing anything taking a vacation, but it’s just not to be!
So I’m skipping my FastPass appointment for Snow White’s Mine Cart at Magic Kingdom to talk about the latest LEGO Marvel 2015 minifigure to be revealed: the Winter Soldier!

As I am wont to do whenever I go, well… anywhere, I knew my Christmas Day at Walt Disney World wouldn’t be complete without seeking out the nearest LEGO Store (which happens to be at the Orlando Downtown Disney). I’ve been there a few times in past years, but I thought it would be neat to see it at Christmas. Unfortunately, what seems like the entire population of Orlando thought so as well…

I’m still on vacation in sunny Orlando (in fact, I’m planning on hitting up the Downtown Disney LEGO Store later tonight), but some news has leaked out that I just had to stop and take a few minutes to talk about. We won’t see the “winter” 2015 LEGO Marvel sets (based on Avengers Age of Ultron) hit stores for several months yet, but the list of LEGO Marvel Summer 2015 Sets has now been revealed: including the first-ever LEGO Carnage and Ant-Man minifigures!

It sounds nuts, as the majority of the LEGO 2015 sets aren’t even available in stores yet, but now it is time to start discussing the LEGO Summer 2015 sets! First up is a theme for which the first wave of sets hasn’t even become easily acquirable in stores yet: LEGO Minecraft! The sales for the Winter 2015 LEGO Minecraft sets have been off the charts, with sets flying out of stock whenever they turn up both in stores and online. And in Summer 2015, LEGO Minecraft sets will be expanding with a new quartet of locales, including a LEGO Minecraft Dungeron and a LEGO Minecraft Nether Fortress!

After months of shopping and preparations, we’ve finally reached Christmas Week 2015! LEGO news is ought to be pretty slow this week (at least, I hope so, because I’m actually going to be taking a few days off later this week for the holidays, crazy as that sounds). But before I go off the grid, there’s still several things left to chat about–including the last of the six main LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets! You might think that a battle pack with Iron Man as the central hero might be a shelfwarmer at this point, but the three army-builder Ultron minifigures included in the LEGO Iron Man vs. Ultron 76029 set say otherwise…

Though we got to see our very first leaked images of the LEGO Jurassic Park dinosaurs last month via some illegally-sold toys on Taobao, LEGO has had its proverbial lips zipped about the very existence of the license. But now, finally, LEGO has published their first official image confirming the impending Jurassic World LEGO theme arriving in Summer 2015! We’re still about half a year away from seeing the sets in stores, but the official LEGO Catalog for the first half of 2015 does give us our first teaser!

We’re in the home stretch of our discussions of the Spring 2015 LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets, and today we’re looking at a set that gives us that not only gives us our first Marvel Cinematic Universe villainous hideout, but also a pair of highly desirable exclusive minifigures! If you want the LEGO Quicksilver and Baron Von Strucker minifigures, then in the spring you’ll be picking up the Avengers Age of Ultron LEGO Hydra Fortress 76041 set!

Moving on from my discussions of the sets likely to be the most popular in the LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron theme, today I’ll be chatting about the set that I think will almost unquestionably be the least popular one of the half-dozen LEGO Marvel Age of Ultron sets coming out in April 2015. It contains no unique characters not available in any other set, and no vehicles that are likely to become iconic, but perhaps its low price will help it sell adequately anyway: it’s the LEGO Avengers Duel with Hydra 76030 set!

The big news this week in the LEGO world is indisputably the surprise unveiling of the LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets that happened to kick off the week. Earlier this week I talked about the new 76032 LEGO Avengers Quinjet Chase set, containing the most iconic Marvel vehicle (that isn’t a Helicarrier).
And now it’s time to dig in once again and discuss the most iconic locale in the Marvel Cinematic Universe–formerly Stark Tower and now home to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes–it’s the LEGO Avengers Tower Attack 76038 set!

I feel like I’ve been talking about the LEGO 2015 sets for eternity now. But just talking about my favorite upcoming sets and not being able to buy them (or at least pre-order them) has definitely been wearing my patience thin. But relief has arrived! Dozens of 2015 LEGO sets are now available for order online, including the 2015 LEGO Star Wars sets, LEGO Movie sets, LEGO DC Super Heroes sets, LEGO Bionicle Sets and more!

Last night I posted about the complete lineup of mass-release LEGO Marvel Avengers Age of Ultron sets, and now it’s time to step back and take a close look at the sets, one at a time!
Of the six sets, one of them could be considered a “rehash” (as it focuses on a vehicle that was released in LEGO form just a few years ago), but I’m going to consider it an “upgrade” instead–it’s the LEGO The Avengers Quinjet Chase 76032 set, with exclusive LEGO Vision minifigure!

LEGO has done a superb job of keeping the LEGO Marvel 2015 sets under wraps, with basically zero images of any of the sets leaking out until now (no, the teaser they put in their LEGO Designer video for the LEGO Helicarrier absolutely does not count).
But the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie is now under half a year away, and it appears that the time for secrecy is at an end! Via their own German catalog, LEGO has now revealed a half-dozen 2015 LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets!
