New York Toy Fair 2014 LEGO Emmet's Construct-O-Mech Summer 2014 Set

If there’s one LEGO set from The LEGO Movie that I was dying to buy after seeing the movie in theaters (several times, in fact), it was Benny’s Spaceship. But that set isn’t available to purchase yet. If there’s another set that I desperately wanted to own, it was Emmet’s awesome mech robot from the climax of the movie. Unfortunately, that set isn’t available yet either. However, at the American International Toy Fair in New York City this week, LEGO officially announced and revealed The LEGO Movie Emmet’s Construct-o-Mech 70814 for Summer 2014!

Toy Fair 2014 The LEGO Movie Benny's Spaceship Set

When I walked out of seeing The LEGO Movie for the very first time two weeks ago, I instantly wanted to head to my local LEGO Store and buy Benny’s Spaceship to take home and build–no matter what it cost! There was only one problem–the LEGO Movie Benny’s Spaceship set hadn’t been released (or even officially announced) at the time. Even so, we knew that the set was in the works, and at this week’s New York Toy Fair 2014, the LEGO Movie Benny’s Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP! 70816 was officially announced and revealed to the public!

Get ready to groan, LEGO collectors! If you’re getting tired of having to buy LEGO video games, DVDs, and movie tickets just to get exclusive LEGO minifigures, there’s unfortunately not going to be any rest in sight. We’ve been wondering how the LEGO The Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug LEGO Legolas Greenleaf 30215 minifigure polybag was going to be released in the United States, and now we know (unfortunately).

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar 75046 Box

Christmas may be ten months away, but it’s never too early to get ready for the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar! While the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars have traditionally been slow sellers, the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar was a quick sellout. Last year’s set was headlined by the whimsical LEGO Santa Jango, but we learned at the Toy Fair 2014 this week that this year’s headliner is even crazier–LEGO Santa Darth Vader!

It’s hard to believe, but we are just two days away from the biggest LEGO unveiling of the entire year–the New York Toy Fair 2014!

LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Milano Ship Rescue Murano Spaceship 76021

Earlier this week, the first photo of a Summer 2014 LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy set leaked out from the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2014. LEGO must have figured that the cat (or the raccoon, in this case) was well and truly out of the bag, as in advance of this weekend’s humongous New York Toy Fair 2014 event, LEGO has already allowed hi-res images to be posted of the Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO Marvel The Milano Ship Rescue 76021 set! It’s the largest and most expensive of the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy sets, and now we can see it before it’s fully revealed to the public at the 2014 New York Toy Fair!

2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Sets Released

The new year is coming a little bit later than expected for LEGO Star Wars collectors, as for the first time in quite a while, a whopping zero new LEGO Star Wars sets were released in the January of a new year. But fear not–the drought is at an end! Though they weren’t scheduled to be released until next week, the winter 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets have all been released now in the LEGO Stores! I picked up a few sets and photographed them all at my local LEGO Store yesterday…

LEGO The Hobbit Good Morning Bilbo Baggins LEGO Minifigure GameStop Exclusive

If there’s one thing that LEGO collectors well and truly love, it’s exclusive LEGO minifigures that you have to buy an expensive product like a video game to acquire, right? (Right…?).

LEGO Movie Pajamas Emmet Minifigures Promo Giveaways

I had the amazing experience of going to see The LEGO Movie in 3-D on opening day this weekend, and it was a phenomenal experience. The LEGO Movie blew away all my expectations with its creativity, humor and heart.

Luckily, my friend has no use for his LEGO Movie Pajamas Emmet minifigure, and is allowing me to give it away free to a lucky Bricks and Bloks reader! Read on for details…

Summer 2014 LEGO Chima Maula’s Ice Mammoth Stomper 70145

Last week we previewed the amazing new LEGO Legends of Chima Phoenix Fire Temple set coming in Summer 2014–but the Phoenix Tribe isn’t the only new Chima Animal Tribe and that’s the not the only major LEGO Chima Summer 2014 set on the way!

Another mighty tribe is entering the fray in Chima later this year–the evil Mammoth Tribe! And they’re going to be a real force to be reckoned with, packing the terrifying LEGO Chima Maula’s Ice Mammoth Stomper 71045 vehicle…
