2014 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60063 Set

I was ecstatic over the weekend when I unwittingly ended up stumbling upon my personal favorite of the yearly LEGO Advent Calendars: the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar! But while that licensed sci-fi version of the calendar is my favorite, I recognize that it’s not everyone’s. And in fact, there was another 2014 LEGO Advent Calendar that was selling even better at my nearest LEGO Store–and was almost wiped out on the shelf already! The LEGO City 2014 Advent Calendar 60063 set has now been released!

UPDATE: The LEGO City 2014 Advent Calendar is now available for order online!

75056 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2014

After seeing the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar at the New York Toy Fair 2014, I came back and raved about the set–and then pined away that it would be at least six months before I could own it. Fast-forward six months plus to today, and my melodrama is finally able to come to an end! During the rare occasion when my wife actually wanted to go to the mall (she hates malls), I saw a kid walking around with the telltale yellow LEGO Store bag–stuffed with what looked like new Advent Calendars! I quickly made a beeline for the LEGO Store, and came face-to-face with the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar I’d been waiting so very long for…

UPDATE: The LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar is now available for order! Get it while it lasts!

LEGO Mixels Series 3 Sets Released in Stores! Purple Green Tan

Posted on by
LEGO Mixels Series 3 Sets Purple Green Tan Figures

A couple of readers wrote in last week to report that they had sighted all nine of the LEGO Mixels Series 3 sets at their local Target stores. Since those sets aren’t due out for a couple of weeks yet and hadn’t even been spotted at the LEGO Stores themselves yet, I figured it must have been some sort of fluke incident. But I decided to check my local Target stores every day–just in case. And sure enough, the entirety of LEGO Mixels Series 3 turned up at my closest Target store yesterday, including all three Green Mixels (Glorp Corp), Purple Mixels (Wiztastics) and Tan Mixels (Spikels)!

LEGO Batman Tumbler 76023 UCS Set Up for Order!

LEGO UCS Batman Tumbler Dark Knight Set Revealed

It’s been common knowledge for most of 2014 that LEGO has been “secretly” working on a huge, Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) LEGO Batman Tumbler for release in late summer 2014. It’s also been widely speculated and agreed-upon among LEGO collectors that said set would of course debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 (what with it being the largest superhero convention in the world and all). So with SDCC 2014 just a few days away, we just have to wait and our patience will finally be rewarded! …What’s that? Oh… never mind. As it turns out, LEGO apparently ran out of patience themselves, as the UCS LEGO Batman Tumbler 76023 set has now been fully revealed!

UPDATE 8/18/2014: The LEGO Batman Tumbler 76023 set is now available for order!

LEGO Minecraft The Cave 21113 Set Photo Hi-Res

I woke up this morning to an unexpected surprise–a European retailer had leaked the first official photos of a pair of LEGO Minecraft sets scheduled for release in November 2014! Unlike the first four LEGO Minecraft Micro-World sets that are already available, the upcoming LEGO Minecraft sets will be in the standard LEGO size and include the first-ever LEGO Minecraft Minifigures. Now let’s take a hi-res peek at the first two sets to be fully revealed–LEGO Minecraft The Cave 21113 and LEGO Minecraft The Farm 21114!

LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle 30246 Re-Released

Some of you have been worried that I’ve abandoned you, but fret not–I have returned! With the annual post-San Diego Comic-Con LEGO news drought in full effect, I decided to take advantage of the lull to take a (unfortunately crummy) vacation.

But I can never go LEGO-free for too long, and during the first day of my trip, I picked up a previously rare polybag! The LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle 30246 has now been re-released!

LEGO Exo-Suit 21109 LEGO Ideas LIMITED Set Up for Order!

Exo Suit LEGO Ideas #007 Summer 2014 Set LEGO 21109

LEGO announced ages ago that the fan-created LEGO Exo-Suit would be coming to the LEGO Ideas set range (though back then, we still old-timers still called it “LEGO CUUSOO”). The rumored release date for the set was August 2014, but once the calendar flipped over to July 2014 without a peep from LEGO, I got a little worried that the project’s release was going to be delayed. Thankfully, it turns out that that’s not the case at all–to celebrate the 4th of July, LEGO officially unveiled their LEGO Exo-Suit 21109 set… in spectacular, animated video form!

UPDATE 8/1/2014: The LEGO Exo-Suit set is now up for order and selling out FAST! There’s only one production run for this set, so make sure to order it ASAP if you want one. Like the LEGO Mars Curiosity Rover, this set will sell out fast!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Fully Revealed Photos!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Revealed

I’ve long maintained that LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 would be fully revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2014. But while my thought was that LEGO themselves would premiere the LEGO 71007 Minifigures Series 12 at SDCC 2014 themselves, that’s not quite the case. Actually, LEGO didn’t show off the series at the event at all. Instead, mega-retailer Argos leaked images of the set onto the web. Luckily, this isn’t math class, so while my reasoning was wrong, the results are all that matter–and LEGO Minifigures Series 12 looks outstanding!

SDCC 2014: LEGO Green Lantern vs. Sinestro 2015 Set!

LEGO 2015 Green Lantern vs. Sinestro 76025 Set

If there was any question of whether or not LEGO was serious about “winning” San Diego Comic Con 2014, that question has been answered by the latest LEGO SDCC 2014 news! When word broke that the plot of the LEGO Batman 3 video game had to do with Batman going into space and dealing with Sinestro and the various Lantern Corps, it seemed like only a matter of time until a LEGO Green Lantern minifigure made his debut. That time… is now! Coming to stores in 2015–LEGO Green Lantern vs. Sinestro 76025!

It’s become tradition that LEGO debut the first few sets from the next year’s line of LEGO products during San Diego Comic Con each year. And while San Diego Comic Con 2014 won’t begin officially until tonight, LEGO just couldn’t wait to give us a glimpse at the very first of the LEGO 2015 sets to be revealed!

SDCC 2014 LEGO Batman Classic Batmobile & Minifigures Revealed!

LEGO Batman Classic Batmoblie San Diego Comic Con 2014 Exclusive Set

I was genuinely starting to wonder if LEGO was just not going to show off their final few San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive LEGO sets and minifigures before the SDCC 2014 Preview Night tomorrow, but with one day to go, LEGO has successfully managed to debut all of their con exclusives (though they certainly cut it a little close)! The final two show exclusives included a free promo minifigure and another limited-edition $39.99 set, and both are Batman-themed! It’s the SDCC 2014 Exclusive LEGO Batman Classic Batmobile and LEGO Batman of Zur-En-Arrh minifigure!
