LEGO 5001622 Polybag LEGO Store Employee Minifigure Set

It’s been a pretty slow week for LEGO news, but The Brick Owl has turned up a pretty unexpected development in the form of a new, upcoming LEGO polybag promo minifigure. Now, that’s not anything extraordinary in its own right, as we get exclusive LEGO promo minifigures many times per year. No, what makes this particular LEGO promotional polybag set special is that it’s designed to look like people all of us with a local LEGO Store know and love–it’s the LEGO Store Employee Minifigure 5001622 polybag set!

October 2013 LEGO Store Calendar

I hadn’t seen anyone post scans of the full LEGO Store October 2013 calendar yet, so a couple days ago I stopped at my local LEGO Store and picked up next month’s calendar myself. Only trouble was, I went to scan the October 2013 LEGO Store Calendar and broke the port off my computer’s scanner entirely (don’t ask). I haven’t had a chance to get my scanner replaced yet, so instead, here are hi-res photos of the October 2013 LEGO Stores calendar, along with my thoughts on next month’s LEGO promos and events…

LEGO Volkswagen Camper Van Size Comparison Regular vs. Mini

I stopped by the closest LEGO Store today to pick up the LEGO Store October 2013 Calendar, and I was surprised to see how hard LEGO was promoting this month’s free exclusive LEGO Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van 40079 promo, with signs and samples of the exclusive LEGO Mini Volkswagen promo all over the store. I was so impressed, I took a few photos to share with those not lucky enough to be surrounded by LEGO Stores…

LEGO Minecraft The Village & The Nether Micro Sets Up for Order!

LEGO Minecraft 21106 Micro World The Nether Box Front

To say that the initial CUUSOO LEGO Minecraft set 21102 released last year was a smash hit would be an understatement. LEGO 21102, with its Steve and Creeper Micromob figures, was an overwhelming success for LEGO–so much so that LEGO will be releasing another pair of LEGO Minecraft sets this fall! Coming to LEGO Stores in September 2013, it’s the LEGO Minecraft The Village 21105 and The Nether 21106 sets!

UPDATE: The LEGO Minecraft The Nether and LEGO Minecraft The Village sets are now available for order online!

LEGO 71002 Minifigures Series 11 Complete Set of Blind Bags

I was saving my discussion of the release of LEGO 71002 Minifigures Series 11 for the official release date of September 1, 2013–but judging by the various store reports I’ve read and the fact that there are already hundreds of LEGO Minifigures Series 11 sets and individual up for sale on eBay, I might as well jump the gun as well and talk about the release of the first post-Mr. Gold LEGO Minifigures Series…

2013 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60024 Released

When I went to the LEGO Store over the weekend, it was strictly to hunt down and obtain the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar set (which I did). But ever since, something was nagging at the back of my mind, urging me to go back to the LEGO Store. And there was only way to scratch the itch, and that was to return to the store and pick up the 2013 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60024, which has now been released in stores as well!

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Microfighters Sets Series 1 Photos Revealed!

Posted on by

I was pretty both happy and sad last week when the news broke that the LEGO Star Wars Planet Series had been canceled. I was sad because I thought the line still had some potential, but I was happy because its demise would lead to a new series of LEGO Star Wars Vehicle minis in 2014.

The first photos of the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters have leaked to the internet, and now, well… now I am sad once again…

LEGO Star Wars Millenium Falcon Midi Scale 7778

Some sad news today for LEGO Star Wars Collectors: the LEGO Star Wars Planets series of sets that began in 2012 has been canceled and will not be continuing on into 2014. We have already seen the end of the series, as no additional LEGO Star Wars Planets sets will be released besides those that already came out earlier this year.

2014 LEGO Simpsons Set List Rumored (Fake?)

Posted on by

While perusing the net yesterday, I came across a rumored list of the upcoming 2014 LEGO The Simpsons sets scheduled to be released in Winter 2014 (late 2013 if we’re lucky). Upon seeing the list, my heart leaped for joy at the selection of sets chosen for the new LEGO Simpsons theme. Then I traced back the list of rumored sets to their source, and my optimism about the veracity of the set list plummeted. I wish this Simpsons LEGO set list was real, but it’s likely fake…
