2014 LEGO Marvel X-Men Sentinel & Storm Prototype Images!

2014 LEGO Marvel Sentinel and Brown Wolverine Minifigure

Seeing as how we’re not likely to see the winter 2014 LEGO Marvel sets hit store shelves for at least another month yet, it stands to reason that we probably wouldn’t be seeing any LEGO Marvel Summer 2014 sets prototypes for a long time yet, right? Well… no. The biggest toy event of the year–the 2014 Toy Fair–is just one month away, at which we should see the entire summer LEGO 2014 sets lineup. But before Toy Fair 2014 comes around, we can already get our first glimpse at some preliminary prototypes of the upcoming X-Men LEGO Marvel Sentinel and Storm minifigures…

LEGO Simpsons Couch in Living Room from LEGO 2014 The Simpsons House

Unless you’ve been living under a rock (and no offense if any of you actually are), you’ve probably heard about the LEGO The Simpsons theme coming in 2014! We’ve been talking about it here on Bricks and Bloks since last summer, and we got our biggest breakthrough yet over the weekend, when two photos of the LEGO The Simpsons House 71006 leaked out. Well, at least that was the biggest breakthrough–until LEGO officially unveiled the set today, with a plethora of hi-res images and all the pricing, details, and release for the LEGO Simpsons House! Whatever your questions about this set were, LEGO has probably answered them…

LEGO The Simpsons House 71006 Box LEGO 2014 Set

The absolutely worst-kept LEGO secret in 2013 was the upcoming LEGO The Simpsons theme. We’ve had to live with tiny dribbles of information regarding the LEGO 2014 Simpsons theme for the past half-year, with the bulk of our news coming from rumors and Simpsons minifigure prototypes stolen from the factories. But now we’ve got our biggest glimpse at the Simpsons LEGO theme yet–and I do mean big! It’s the 2,523 piece LEGO The Simpsons House 71006!

McDonalds LEGO Movie Happy Meal Toys Action Cups Photos Revealed!

McDonalds Happy Meal The LEGO Movie Toys Action Cups Batman and Unikitty

There are some things in life that just make so much sense that it is absolutely inconceivable that they may not turn out how we imagined them. Such was the case when the official word came out that McDonald’s restaurants were going to be offering The LEGO Movie Happy Meals toys this winter. LEGOs are toys to begin with, so there’s no way McDonalds wouldn’t offer something at least mildly cool for the Happy Meal The LEGO Movie promos… right? At least, that’s what everyone thought. Everyone–except McDonald’s. Enter: The LEGO Movie “Action Cups”…

Are you ready for yet another potentially super-rare LEGO minifigure exclusive? I sure hope so if you’re a LEGO Star Wars minifigure completist, because last week LEGO released a new LEGO Star Wars minifigure overseas that has to be one of the most difficult-to-obtain Star Wars LEGO figures ever: the maroon protocol droid, TC-4 minifigure! A few of these TC-4 minifigures have shown up for sale online already, but if you want this incredibly-elusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure, it will seriously cost you…

The LEGO Movie Western Emmet Minifigure Exclusive with Video Game!

The LEGO Movie Western Emmet Minifigure Exclusive Promo with The LEGO Movie Video Game

Uh-oh! Looks like LEGO is at it again! It’s becoming a time-honored tradition for LEGO to blackmail collectors into purchasing the latest LEGO video games just to have a complete minifigure collection. Two years ago it was the exclusive Elrond minifigure with the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game. Last year it was the awesome Iron Patriot minifigure with the LEGO Marvel video game. And this year? You’re going to have to pre-order The LEGO Movie video game from Gamestop to get your hands on the exclusive LEGO Movie Western Emmet minifigure…

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Polybags Anakin's Jedi Interceptor 30244 Set

It’s sort of strange–the new year has arrived, but not a single one of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets has turned up at retail yet. Ordinarily, there have been at least a few early sightings at Toys R Us by now. But this year? Nada. Even so, we know all of the regular-sized LEGO Star Wars 2014 winter and summer sets already, and now we even know what the 2014 LEGO Star Wars polybags sets are going to be! The Emperor will be arriving shortly in the cutest little LEGO Imperial Shuttle ever, flanked by a pair of quasi-popular prequel starfighters…

The new year has arrived, and while some of the winter LEGO 2014 sets are still missing in action (most notably LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Legends of Chima), LEGO Stores have fully restocked and have plenty of other goodness to be had! The biggest and most exciting new additions today were of course the long-awaited LEGO Parisian Restaurant 10243 Modular Building set and the LEGO Maersk Line Triple-E 10241! I headed over to a local LEGO Store this morning, and was amped to see both humongous sets in-stock and also fully-built and on display…

Star Wars Rebels Ghost Ship Schematics

Goodbye LEGO 2013… Hello LEGO 2014! After spending the last several months previewing the Winter 2014 LEGO sets, I expected I’d have the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a short respite while news was slow for a while. Nope!

The Hungarian retailer Markabolt had to go an spoil my break by leaking a plethora of LEGO Summer 2014 sets names! I can’t complain too much though, as the rumored LEGO Star Wars Summer 2014 sets lineup is the strongest assortment in a long, long time…

2014 LEGO 70726 Destructoid Ninjago Set Released in Stores!

LEGO 2014 Ninjago Destructoid 70726 Set Released in Stores

While I was hanging out at the LEGO Store yesterday and taking photographs of all of the various The LEGO Movie sets, I wasn’t expecting to see anything else I hadn’t seen before. After all, the official release date for the majority of the LEGO 2014 sets isn’t until this Wednesday–1/1/2014–so there shouldn’t be anything else fresh out just yet.

Of course, this is all just a very long lead-in to me asserting that I was incorrect, and a set appeared before me for the very first time yesterday: the 2014 LEGO Ninjago Destructoid 70726 has now been released!

The LEGO Movie Sets LEGO 2014 Released In Stores and Online

I haven’t the foggiest idea why LEGO opted to set the official release date for the 2014 LEGO Movie sets three days before the massive release of the rest of the LEGO 2014 sets, but the day has finally arrived! Although all of the LEGO Movie sets are now available for order online, I set off this morning to hit up a variety of stores and see just what I could find from the new The LEGO Movie sets. I had to drive a little bit and hit more stores than I expected, but I eventually managed to see the LEGO Movie Minifigures Series blind bags and every one of the LEGO Movie sets!
