July 2014 LEGO Store Calendar

LEGO has really spoiled us in recent months by having the following month’s LEGO Store Calendar available promptly on the first of each month. So I felt a silly twinge of loss and disappointment yesterday when I discovered that the new July 2014 LEGO Stores calendar was in fact not yet available.

Luckily, I didn’t have to suffer wannabe-grief for very long, as the LEGO Store July 2014 calendar has now appeared! And if you’re into TMNT, it’s time to get excited–July 2014 is the biggest month ever for LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the LEGO Store!

Toy Fair 2014 LEGO ECTO-1 Ghostbusters Car Set

UPDATE 6/1/2014: The LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 21108 set is now available for order online! Go get it if you want it!

Sometimes in my decrepit old age (I’ll be the Grim Reaper-watch age of 32 this year) I forget to talk about things. That’s really my only excuse for why, up until now, I completely forgot to discuss what just may be the most anticipated and talked-about set that LEGO debuted at the New York Toy Fair 2014! We’d previously seen the original submitted design, but at the 2014 Toy Fair LEGO officially unveiled the redesigned LEGO Ghostbusters Minifigures and Ecto-1, as well as revealing the set price and release date!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Wizard Figure

Usually the weekends are pretty slow as far as news goes, but on this lovely Saturday the peace has been broken by an earth-shattering photo revealing some of the minifigures from what will be for many the most anticipated release of the entire year! While we’ve had two 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series released already, both of those have been themed (LEGO Movie and LEGO Simpsons). But in October 2014, plain old LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 will finally arrive–and now we’ve got photos of the first six figures that make up that series, including a Wizard, a Battle Goddess, and even a Video Gamer!

LEGO Mixels Series 2 Review Jawg 41514 Brown Fang Gang

LEGO Mixels Jawg 41514 Eats LEGO Flurr

I was a little bit unfair toward the LEGO Mixels series when I initially saw the sets, so I wanted to make sure to rectify the situation when LEGO Mixels Series 2 hit stores this month. Earlier this week I reviewed the terrific LEGO Mixels Series 2 Flurr 41511 set, and today I’m going to touch on the figure that looked the second most-appealing to me in the series.

And to make up with the Mixels theme for my earlier negative attitude, not only am I going to post a 41514 LEGO Mixels Jawg review, but I’ll be giving Jawg away as well! Read on for the details…

LEGO Star Wars MTT 75058 Summer 2014 Set Box

LEGO deserves some mad props and applause for pulling off a pretty spectacular feat: they have managed to get a LEGO Star Wars set produced and onto store shelves without ever showing the set publicly or having details/photos of the set leak out to the general public. The set itself may not be anything especially new or enticing, but it’ll earn its place in history thanks to LEGO’s surprising ability to keep it a secret–it’s the LEGO Star Wars MTT 75058 Summer 2014 set!

LEGO Mixels Series 2 Released in the United States & Photos!

LEGO Mixels Series 2 Released in Stores

I have not exactly been the staunchest supporter of the new-for-2014 LEGO Mixels theme, as the aesthetic and feel of the sets is just way, way outside of the box so far as my LEGO sensibilities go. That said, I’d be blind not to see how much passion and enthusiasm many collectors have for LEGO Mixels, so I’ve been on the lookout for LEGO Mixels Series 2 in the United States. I saw some online sellers in the United States selling the Series 2 Mixels LEGO sets earlier this week, so I figured it was time to check stores again. And sure enough, all of LEGO Mixels Series 2 has now been released in United States stores!

LEGO Minecraft The End 21107 Box LEGO Summer 2014 Set

LEGO Minecraft is moving away from being a micro-world LEGO theme and moving into a full-on regular minifig-scaled LEGO theme in late 2014/early 2015! But before that switch happens, LEGO has one more LEGO Minecraft Micro-World set left coming up for fans of the LEGO micro-scale.

We’ve seen teases of the set before, but with it hitting LEGO Stores in under two weeks, LEGO has now officially and fully unveiled hi-res images of the LEGO Minecraft The End 21107 set!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Revealed

Remember the olden days, way back when non-themed sets of LEGO Minifigures blind bags were released? Yes, it may be hard to believe, but before there were LEGO Simpsons Minifigures blind bags and before there were LEGO Movie blind bags, LEGO used to release generic series of fun and random minifigures. And coming in October 2014, it’ll be a return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, with the release of LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007!

LEGO Arctic Supply Plane 60064 Box

Alright, LEGO got me. I really and truly believed that the LEGO Arctic Ice Breaker 60062 set that I discussed a couple weeks back was the last of the Summer 2014 LEGO City Arctic sets. It seems I underestimated LEGO, though, as in actuality there is a seventh full-blown LEGO LEGO Arctic set on the way this summer, and it’s the second store exclusive for the theme. If you like bright orange planes, then you’re in luck–it’s the LEGO Arctic Supply Plane 60064!

Christmas really has come early this year (and LEGO is reaching for Santa’s credit card)! Not only did we get our first look at the LEGO Santa’s Workshop Winter Village set earlier this week, not only was the masterpiece LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler released earlier this month, and not only was the amazing LEGO Fairground Mixer just put up for sale yesterday–now another wave of new sets has hit stores earlier!

And despite the crazy amount I’ve already spent on LEGO this month, there was no way I was going home without a certain SPACESHIP!!!

LEGO Fairground Mixer 10244 Set Photos & Order Info

Posted on by
LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer Set Box 10244 June 2014 LEGO Stores Exclusive

ORIGINAL 4/26/2014: Confession time: I hate roller coasters with a fiery passion. My stomach can’t handle rides with drops, and I hate rides that get me soaked almost as much. At most amusement parks, there’s a grand total of one ride that I really and truly love–and it’s coming in LEGO form this summer! Sometimes it’s called the Scrambler, sometimes it’s called the Twist, and my wife calls it “the spin and barf”, but in June 2014, it’ll be coming as the “Mixer” in the spectacular LEGO Fairground Mixer 10244 set that has just been unveiled!

UPDATE: 5/15/2014: The LEGO Fairground Mixer is now available for order online! Make sure to log into your LEGO VIP account to order!
