LEGO Back to the Future Delorean Revealed July 2013 Set Photo

Just when I think the news coming out from LEGO can’t get any bigger, something even crazier happens! First LEGO revealed the enormous LEGO Tower of Orthanc. Then LEGO stunned Star Wars fans with the LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village, and followed it up with the reveal of the incredible Sydney Opera House. Now the first photos have leaked out of a set that, while not as large as the other recently announced sets, may be the biggest bombshell of all: it’s the LEGO Back to the Future Delorean car set, coming in July 2013!

The LEGO Movie Trailer, Poster and Screenshots Revealed!

Posted on by
The LEGO Movie Poster 2014 Warner Bros

We got a pretty surprise today, in the form of the first Warner Bros. The LEGO Movie trailer and movie poster being released! Now, it’s not surprising that Warner Bros. is working on a 2014 LEGO Movie–we’ve known about that for a while. No, what makes this a “good surprise” is that based on the teaser trailer, it looks like The LEGO Movie might actually be good!

But don’t expect to see some of the most popular LEGO themes of all-time like LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Marvel or LEGO Star Wars in The LEGO Movie…

LEGO Sydney Opera House 10234 Creator Expert Set Box

After the reveal of the LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village, I thought we’d seen everything that LEGO had to offer for Summer 2013. But it seems that LEGO still had one humongous trump card left to play, and it finally unveiled it in full at Brickworld 2013 in Chicago tonight. It’s a set that we’d seen rumored a few weeks ago, that takes a set from LEGO Architecture line and super-sizes it like never before. Coming September 2013–LEGO Sydney Opera House 10234!

LEGO Minifigures Series 11 71002 Evil Mech Scientist Yeti Minifigure

We got a major treat today that I absolutely was not expecting: the first LEGO Minifigures Series 11 Photos! Don’t run out the door to your local retailer just yet–71002 LEGO Minifigures Series 11 isn’t scheduled to be released in stores until September 2013. In fact, I didn’t expect to see a single LEGO Series 11 Minifigures photo until next month at San Diego Comic-Con 2013. But, well, things happen, prototype images leak out, and now we’ve got our very first look at this fall’s LEGO Minifigures Series 11 figures…

LEGO Mr. Gold Minifigure Update: Still Selling For $500+ But Why?

Posted on by
How Much Is LEGO Mr Gold Minifigure Worth

Back in April, when the very first LEGO Minifigures Series 10 LEGO Mr. Gold minifigure hit the aftermarket and immediately sold for over a thousand dollars, I was astonished. A limited edition of 5000 is a huge number, well beyond the edition size that most toy companies produce for convention and store exclusives, limited products, and high-end items.

I was absolutely certain that the early super high prices of the LEGO Mister Gold minifigure were just an aberration and prices would quickly crash back down to Earth. But that really does not seem to be happening…

LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village 10236 Box 2013

After we finally got confirmation that the LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village 10236 set scheduled for Summer 2013 was real, I wasn’t sure how to cope with my need to know each and every detail about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars mega set. Luckily, LEGO Star Wars collectors didn’t have long to wait, as today LEGO let the cat (or Ewoks) out of the bag and fully revealed the 10236 LEGO Ewok Village set coming our way September 2013 with high-resolution photos and video!

LEGO Ewoks Minifigures Wicket Chief Chirpa Paploo

It’s been rumored and speculated about all year long, and when LEGO set rumors are repeated with as much consistency and confidence as this one, they often turn out to be true. And in this case, the rumor is true, and the dream has become a reality: a giant 10236 LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village set is coming our way in 2013! Yub Nub!!

The LEGO Ewok Village 10236 is going to be exclusive to official LEGO Stores and the online LEGO Shop, and will retail for a scary €249.99 (likely $250+ in the United States). Here’s what we expect the set to be like…

2013 LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain 70403 Summer Set Released!

70403 LEGO Dragon Mountain Summer 2013 Castle Set Released

Last week I was a bit frustrated when my search for the new Summer 2013 LEGO Castle sets turned up all the new summer LEGO sets except for the one I was looking for: 70403 LEGO Dragon Mountain. It seemed weird for all of the other sets to have found their way into retail store circulation without this last set, so many LEGO collectors (and yes, me) began speculating that LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain 70403 might in fact be a store exclusive, explaining its absence. Well, we may have been a bit hasty. I found a full stock of the LEGO 70403 Dragon Mountain summer 2013 set at my local Toys R Us today…

LEGO Batman The Movie with LEGO Clark Kent Superman Minifigure

The all-new LEGO Batman: The Movie “Super Heroes United” was released today (May 21st, 2013) on both DVD and Blu-Ray. But while any new LEGO animated cartoon’s release is cause for celebration, the major selling-point of this movie isn’t the feature itself–it’s the highly-desirable exclusive LEGO minifigure packed-in! Never before available in any set (and unlikely ever to be), it’s the exclusive LEGO Clark Kent minifigure! And while the LEGO Batman: The Movie set is available anywhere DVDs and Blu-Ray discs are sold, the best price for this set is definitely online…

Summer 2013 LEGO Galaxy Squad Sets Released in US Stores & Photos!

LEGO Galaxy Squad Hive Crawler Summer 2013 Set Box Back

If there’s one LEGO theme that I had absolutely no intention of becoming hooked on in 2013, it’s LEGO Galaxy Squad. But I have a weakness for cool LEGOs (if you can believe that), and I feel hopelessly in love with the theme the first time I saw the 2013 LEGO Galaxy Squad sets in stores. I had planned on curtailing my buying of the theme when the Galaxy Squad summer wave came out, but then a terrible thing happened: I came across the LEGO Galaxy Squad Summer 2013 sets while out hunting for the new LEGO Castle sets. And predictably, now I want them all…
