41506 LEGO Mixels Teslo Electroids Figure 2014

Given their decades of immense success and the thousands of extremely fun toys they’ve produced, LEGO has earned my trust and respect. Even so, occasionally LEGO will reveal something that will make me raise my eyebrow a little bit and make me wonder what in the world they’re thinking. Such was the case when I saw one of the big new LEGO 2014 themes for the first time: LEGO Mixels.

Having now read all of the available materials on LEGO Mixels and observing each 2014 LEGO Mixels set closely, I’m now willing to give Mixels the benefit of a doubt…

It may be Christmas Eve and just one week from the launch of the majority of the winter LEGO 2014 sets, but to my surprise, there are still just-revealed LEGO Chima 2014 sets to talk about! Earlier today I talked about Spinlyn’s Cavern, and now it’s time to talk about the other one of the new sets–2014 LEGO Legends of Chima Lavertus’ Outland Base 70134!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the Internet, LEGO has shown off yet more LEGO Legends of Chima 2014 sets expected to arrive in January 2014! While all of the sets we’ve seen for the winter thus far have been rather small, these last two sets are pretty loaded–and the first one exclusively includes the Chima Spider Tribe Queen! It’s LEGO Chima 2014 Spinlyn’s Cavern 70133!

LEGO Ninja Turtles 2014 T-Sub Set Revealed

About a week ago the first catalog image leaked out showing off a couple of the LEGO TMNT 2014 sets. I’ve been waiting patiently for better quality photos to turn up before discussing any of the sets, but my patience has worn thin and I’m ready to start talking up the 2014 LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets now!

Let’s begin with the largest of the four TMNT animated sets for next year–the 2014 LEGO TMNT Turtle Sub Undersea Chase 79121!

LEGO Movie Minifigures Series Found & Purchased with Photos!

The LEGO Movie Minifigures Series Blind Bags Found and Bought in Germany

Last week several readers reported in that their local Target stores had mistakenly put the 2014 LEGO Minifigure Series 12 The LEGO Movie Minifigures 71004 blind bags out on the shelves, but at the registers the cashiers were refusing to let them purchase the figures ahead of the release date! Well, Target may have been more successful at stopping buyers from purchasing toys before their release date than they were stopping hackers from stealing their customers’ credit card numbers (ouch–low blow), but today someone finally managed to purchase the LEGO 71004 Movie Minifigures and was kind enough to send in their photos…

Just when you thought that we’d seen every single one of the Winter 2014 LEGO sets, LEGO decides to shake things up and drop an unexpected bombshell on us like a meteor from space! I am, of course, using astrological terms to describe this new reveal, as the fifth-ever LEGO CUUSOO set to be released has been inspired by a real-life NASA spacecraft!

LEGO 2013 Advent Calendars Sold Out; Prices Explode Online!

Posted on by
LEGO City 2013 Advent Calendar 60024 Set Box

For as long as I can remember LEGO producing LEGO Advent Calendars, I can remember hundreds of the various LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars and LEGO City Advent Calendars accumulating into piles and sitting on stores shelves at clearance prices for months after the holidays are over. I always buy my Advent Calendar LEGO sets early (because I’m crazy), but I’ve also always taken for granted that there would be a surplus left in stores long after the holidays. Well… it looks like that isn’t the case anymore, as the 2013 LEGO Advent Calendars are totally sold out and becoming very expensive on the aftermarket…

LEGO Movie Minifigures Series 12 71004 Released in United States!

The LEGO Movie LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71004 Released in Stores

When discussing the LEGO 2014 sets the last few months, I’ve made a habit of saying that they’ll be released “by January 2014”, because I always fully believe the new sets will sneak out early. But I haven’t been applying those words to the 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series 12, as those are the LEGO Movie Minifigures series blind bags, and there’s no way stores would be allowed to sell those before the January 1st, 2014 street date.

Well, it turns out I was both right… and wrong. LEGO 71004 Minifigures Series 12 has now been sighted in the United States!

2014 LEGO Disney Princess Sets Released Little Mermaid & Cinderella

I dropped by my nearest LEGO Store today to see if the rumors I’d heard were true–and they were! Many of the LEGO 2014 sets that have previously only been sighted at the inflated Toys R Us prices have arrived at local LEGO Stores. But that’s not all–there’s something magical at the LEGO Brand Stores as well, something that Toys R Us failed to beat them to the punch on–the entire wave of the LEGO Disney Princess 2014 sets! I took photos of the front and back of each set, and can now confirm the official pricing for all of the 2014 LEGO Disney Princess sets…

2014 LEGO Batman The Penguin Face Off 76010 Box

Once again, one of the upcoming LEGO Winter 2014 sets has appeared, and it’s another DC LEGO Super Heroes set! While none of the characters in this LEGO Batman set are “new” exactly, this is the sort of army-builder set many collectors have been waiting for.
