LEGO Ninjago fans got an extra-special treat on the back cover of the new Australian LEGO Club Magazine–new promotional artwork for the LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets! Last week, images of the three of the seven rumored 2014 Ninjago LEGO sets leaked to the Internet. Now, this promotional artwork confirms two more of the remaining four sets!
Check out our first glimpse at the LEGO Ninjago Nindroid Mech Dragon and another of the LEGO Winter 2014 Ninjago sets…

October 2013 is finally upon us, and that means that we’re in for a month of Halloween candy, gross candy corn, and pumpkin-flavored everything! But before all that, the arrival of October 2013 also means something else. That’s right–the November 2013 LEGO Store Calendar is now available!
Don’t get too excited, though–while November 2013 will be the second busiest month at the LEGO Stores, there’s also not all that much going on at them that we didn’t already know about…

You guys are probably going to want to put on your eyeglasses and lean real close to the screen. Yesterday LEGO finally released the long-awaited LEGO Architecture United Nations Headquarters 21018 set, thus allowing LEGO Architecture collectors a brief respite and the chance to be totally up-to-date in their collections. That break only lasted a day, though. The next set, the LEGO Architecture Marina Bay Sands 21021, has now been revealed!

We’re still a full three months away from the Winter 2014 LEGO sets hitting stores, but now that they’ve begun, the leaks just keep on coming! Tonight, Flickr user Solid Brix Studios posted an image of another pair of minifigures not expected to reach stores for another quarter of a year–the LEGO Batman 2014 Joker Minifigure, alongside the very first LEGO Star Wars 2014 minifigure to be revealed: the LEGO Star Wars V-Wing Pilot!

Weekends are ordinarily a pretty dull time as far as LEGO news goes–but not this weekend! At the Denmark LEGO Fan Weekend event, LEGO unveiled their first major direct-to-consumer LEGO 2014 set–the mighty LEGO Maersk Line Triple-E Container Ship 10241!

Two weeks ago we got our first glance at a mysterious, unknown LEGO minifigure that looked quite a bit like a LEGO Store Employee. We weren’t sure exactly what the minifigure was or how LEGO collectors could obtain the figure, and consequently the first few samples of the LEGO Shop figure that showed up on ebay were selling for crazy prices like $50 each! But Bricks And Bloks reader Mark wrote in to us today to share some gorgeous photos of his 5001622 LEGO Shop Employee minifigure, and to let us know how all of us can get this rare promotional minifigure for our very own as well!

Next week October will be upon us, bringing it with it Halloween, endless bags of candy and pumpkin flavored everything! But these things may take a back seat for LEGO collectors, as they have a perhaps more important annual event to look forward to.
Beginning next week, Toys R Us will begin its annual LEGO Bricktober 2013 event! This year they’ll be offering another three exclusive LEGO Minifigure five-packs, and photos of the 2013 LEGO Bricktober exclusive minifigure sets have now been spotted…

The third and final one of the Winter 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets to have photos leaked out today is the LEGO Ninjago Thunder Raider 70723! The largest and most expensive of the first trio of LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets to be revealed, the 70723 Thunder Raider set brings us updated versions of not one, but two of our favorite Ninjago ninjas! Black Ninja Cole and Blue Ninja Jay are back in action, and they’ve brought impressive new vehicles with them!

Earlier I posted photos of the first of the Winter 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets–the Kai Fighter 70721–and now it’s time to shine the spotlight on a set featuring the newest version of the most popular member of the Ninjago cast–Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja!
Lloyd’s back, and he’s driving the new Green Ninja Cycle into battle to confront the menace of the OverBorg in the LEGO Ninjago OverBorg Attack 70722 set!

Although LEGO never expected the LEGO Ninjago theme to be as long-running or successful as it’s turned out to be, Ninjago is the original theme that just won’t be stopped! Though Ninjago went on hiatus after the release of the January 2013 LEGO Ninjago sets, the theme has never been far from the minds of the kids and collectors who love it. And for the first time, today photos leaked out of several of the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets! First up–the 70721 LEGO Ninjago Kai Fighter!

The worst-kept secret in all of LEGO collecting in 2013 has been that the highly-successful LEGO Ninjago theme would be returning with all-new sets in January 2014! Teaser artwork had been released that showed Sensei Wu with a cyborg eye, so it’s been pretty commonly accepted that there was a LEGO Ninjago Cyborg theme in 2014–and now that appears to be confirmed! The first first 2013 LEGO Ninjago minifigure has leaked onto ebay, where he’s now available for sale early–it’s LEGO Ninjago General Cryptor the Cyborg Ninja!

Though it isn’t scheduled to be released until October 2013 for regular retail customers, the 2013 LEGO Winter Village Market 10235 is available for purchase for all LEGO VIP members! Like every year’s Winter Village LEGO set, this set is an absolute must-buy for me. Though I’m not planning on buying the set myself until next month, I couldn’t resist the temptation to see the set with my own eyes in person, so I headed over to my favorite local LEGO Store over the weekend to take some photos…

LEGO’s not-quite-confirmed decision to make LEGO Minifigures Series 13 Simpsons themed in certainly a controversial one, as this is the first time the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series will be limited to licensed The Simpsons characters instead of original concepts. Not everyone (including me) is thrilled about this choice, but it’s time to try to look on the bright side and make lemonade. After careful thought and consideration, here’s our choices for the Top 16 Simpsons Characters to include in the 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series 13…

Last month we posted a rumored list of 2014 LEGO Simpsons sets, which I pretty much said was a load of hooey (not in those words). It’s looking more and more likely that I was correct on that front, as Nerdly has published confirmation from a special Fox/LEGO event that the 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 sets will be focused on LEGO Simpsons minifigures, and there will only be one buildable LEGO Simpsons House set to begin the theme…
