ORIGINAL:Just in case yesterday’s first glimpse at the LEGO Gingerbread House 40139 promo set wasn’t enough to get you salivating, the first hi-res images of the other LEGO 2015 Holiday Promo set began to roll into the station! After word of the 40138 Holiday Train leaked out at the end of 2014, we waited almost nine months to see the first image of the set on the October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar. And now, just three weeks away from the LEGO Christmas Train 40138 set finally being released, the official hi-res photos have been sent out! Was it worth the wait, brick fans?

NYCC 2015: LEGO Booth Photos! LEGO Nexo Knights Sets!

Posted on by

When we got to the week of New York Comic Con 2015 and LEGO still hadn’t announced any of their plans for the NYCC LEGO Booth, I had my suspicions that they were planning to spotlight an upcoming LEGO 2016 theme (as they did with Bionicle last year). And as it turns out, those feelings proved true! I got to take two-dozen firsthand today of the 2016 LEGO Nexo Knights sets revealed at NYCC 2015!

November 2015 LEGO Store Calendar

About a week and a half, TLG stunned the brick-collecting world by posting the November 2015 LEGO Store calendar way, way early. Because of this, we got our first look at the gorgeous second 2015 Holiday promo set a bit earlier: the Gingerbread House.

While I already posted an entire write-up of the LEGO Gingerbread House 40139 back then, it occurs to me now that I never talked about the LEGO Store November 2015 calendar itself! And so, let’s step back for a minute and see what TLG has lined up for us next month…

LEGO Dimensions Sets Released & Store Display Photos!

Toys R Us LEGO Dimensions Sets Released

After the calamity that occurred last year for kids and collectors trying to collect the first wave of Nintendo Amiibo figures, I was really afraid of huge shortages for the LEGO Dimensions launch.

And so, even though I ordered all my LEGO Dimensions sets online, I went to see how well-stocked (or not) my closest video game retailers were this morning. And as it turns out, the answer is “pretty well-stocked”!

LEGO Dimensions Toys Display Target

September 2015 has turned out to be a surprisingly busy (and expensive!) month for LEGO fans, with the Force Awakens Star Wars sets hitting stores along with a variety of holiday seasonal sets. And if you’re a gamer, things are about to get a whole lot more expensive!

Tomorrow is the official launch for the LEGO Dimensions toys and video game, so I headed out to stores today to see them setting up their displays…

LEGO Gingerbread House 40139

While this year’s LEGO Winter Toy Shop 10249 set didn’t exactly knock the socks off of the many collectors who own the original Winter Village Toy Shop, TLG has really come through for fans with the rest of their holiday 2015 sets!

Not only do we have another trio of terrific Advent Calendars available, as well as the upcoming Holiday Train promo and a pair of just-announced Seasonal sets, but now we have confirmation of the second holiday promo set that’s been rumored since last year: the 40139 LEGO Gingerbread House set has now been revealed, and will be available for Brick Friday 2015!

LEGO Winter Village Toy Shop 10249 Revealed! Reissue?

Posted on by
2015 LEGO Winter Toy Shop 10249 Box

UPDATE: The LEGO Winter Toy Shop 10249 is now available for order online! Make sure you log into your VIP account so that you can see it in the shop!

ORIGINAL: Seeing as how I’ve written a LEGO news site for the past 4 years, it’s pretty obvious that I love LEGO. But every once in a while, despite that adoration, they do something that really irks me. And unfortunately, that time has come again. Anticipation has turned to massive disappointment, as the sole 2015 LEGO Winter Village set has been officially revealed to be… a near-identical refresh of the 10199 Winter Toy Shop from five years ago?!

LEGO Bricktober Toys R Us Store 40144

Last year, Toys R Us started what I hoped was going to be a new tradition when they debuted the amazingly cool 2014 Bricktober Mini Modular Buildings as their weekly October holiday giveaway sets! From the Pizza Place to the Town Hall, last year’s October exclusive sets really broke the mold for what we could hope for for free promo sets. And today, it’s been revealed that the series is continuing–the 2015 LEGO Bricktober sets include a Bakery, Hotel, Train Station… and a brick-built Toys R Us store!!

October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar Front

For whatever reason, it’s over a week into September 2015 and TLG still hasn’t posted the hi-res, front-and-back PDFs of the October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar. Crazy, right?

So what’s a guy to do, other than drive to the nearest LEGO Store and scan ridiculously hi-res images of the October 2015 calendar himself, right?

And thankfully, it’s worth the effort: next month is going to be a good one, with the awesome free LEGO Holiday Train promo and more!

75103 LEGO Star Wars First Order Transporter Box

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true: we’re just two days away from the most-hyped toy event of the decade–Star Wars Force Friday! And coincidentally enough, I’ve got two 2015 LEGO Star Wars Episode VII sets left to talk about (imagine that!). Yesterday I talked about the big-bad of The First Order with Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, but if you want some troops for Kylo Ren to command, the LEGO First Order Transporter 75103 is for you!
