Ordinarily a Star Wars set with a price tag of $119.99 will be the most expensive set available in that wave. But 2015 is no ordinary year for Star Wars (you may have heard about this new movie coming out), and what would usually be the biggest of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2015 sets ends up second! With three days to go until Force Friday, the spotlight falls on LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle 75104!

With just four days to go until Force Friday (the legendary launch date of hundreds of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens toys), it’s time to move forward and take a look at the fourth of six new LEGO Star Wars Force Awakens sets that will be available on Force Friday at the end of this week! The first three sets that I looked at were new-age versions of old army vehicles, but this one is a bit removed from that: it’s the LEGO Rey’s Speeder 75099 set–the cheapest of all the day one Episode VII sets!

Yesterday I discussed the modern reinterpretation of one of the most recognizable fictional vehicles in history: the Star Wars Episode VII First Order Snowspeeder 75100. But that’s not the most famous vehicle that the Imperials are bringing to the new movies–and one I’ll be talking about today looks far, far more like we remember it than the Snowspeeder does! Coming to our retail galaxies for Force Friday this week, it’s the LEGO Star Wars First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101!

Yesterday I started my previews of the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens sets by taking a look at Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter 75102, and so it logically follows that today we should look ahead to the vehicle that (according to the catalog) is meant to combat that slick Halloween-colored Starfighter. This Star Wars Episode VII vehicle has a name that harkens back to the Original Trilogy, but you sure wouldn’t know it at a glance: it’s the LEGO First Order Snowspeeder 75100!

I suspect I’m going to lose my Star Wars Fanboy card for saying this, but I’m just gonna say it: I’ve never particularly liked X-Wings. Blasphemy, right? Oh, I’ve owned plenty of X-Wings, but the drab colors have never captured my heart.
But that’s all set to change with Star Wars The Force Awakens, which brings us the new Halloween-colored LEGO Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter 75102 set!

Yesterday we reported that the 2015 LEGO Seasonal Halloween Trick-or-Treating 40122 set had been discovered early, and hot on the heels of that seasonal set reveal comes another one for the next big holiday after Halloween!
I hope you like turkey (I don’t), because the LEGO Thanksgiving Feast 40123 seasonal set has also now been revealed!

Considering that we’ve been getting some pretty killer LEGO Store exclusive seasonal sets for all of the most recent holidays, many collectors have been hopefully anticipating a 2015 Halloween Seasonal Set. And while it won’t be released in stores in mass for a few more days, the LEGO 40122 Halloween Trick or Treating set has now been revealed!

Rumors have been circulating for a while that there would be an exclusive LEGO Star Wars Episode VII polybag available during the Star Wars Force Friday event. We didn’t know what the supposed Star Wars Episode VII polybag minifigure would be at the time the rumors started, and we still don’t have confirmation of exactly what the details of the promo will be. But one thing we do know is who the first Episode VII minifigure to get his own polybag will be: it looks like an Episode VII C-3PO polybag promo is on the way!

I woke up this morning, looked at the date, and knew today was going to be an expensive day. Why? Because the most beautiful brick-built Oriental-style Village ever went up for sale this morning: the LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu is now available for order! (You must be logged into your LEGO VIP account to order.)
But just ordering this beauty wasn’t enough for me–I needed to see it in person! And so, I headed over to my nearest LEGO Store to take hi-res photos…

Thanks to an early fall release, Christmas comes a bit early each year when the new editions of the LEGO Advent Calendars start popping up on stores. But Santa must be being extra diligent this year, because the LEGO 2015 Advent Calendars are now up for order earlier than ever!
These tend to sell out way before Christmas, so it’s best to take a good look at what’s available for this holiday season and start making your early shopping decisions now…

Well, well, well! It may have been less than two weeks since the LEGO Minifigures 71010 figures were officially announced (and seven months since they were unofficially revealed), but it looks like those in new minifigure deprivation won’t have to wait quite as long as feared! As I was half-asleep and getting ready to coma last night, I got a surprising photo in my inbox from a reader, confirming what many fans have been waiting for: 71010 LEGO Minifigures Series 14 figures have now been released early in the United States and are already turning up for sale online!

Well… this is certainly an unexpected surprise! When word broke that the 21303 Wall-E set had somehow slipped out and started being sold in some European stores, I suspected that we’d be hearing an official announcement rather soon regarding the official release date for the LEGO Ideas Wall-E set.
But, well… while we have learned the release date for the Wall-E 21303 set, it’s not from the source that I was anticipating: the LEGO Wall-E set is now available for order online with free shipping!

LEGO Dimensions is getting ready to shatter the sales records of all previously-released LEGO video games, as the game has already lined up a ton of blockbuster licenses to include, such as Back to the Future, DC, Portal, Doctor Who, The Simpsons, Jurassic World, Lord of the Rings, Scooby-Doo, Ninjago, Chima and more! But at the Gamescon event in Germany yesterday, a license and sets that are destined to be among the very most popular were announced: LEGO Dimensions Ghostbusters sets, including a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man minifigure and a Slimer minifigure are now up for order!

Sometimes LEGO manages to guard the secrets of their upcoming Collectable Minifigures Series figures so closely that we are well and truly shocked by some of the included figures once the set is fully revealed. And sometimes… not so much. LEGO Minifigures Series 14 is one of those times. While we’ve been seeing photos and leaked lists of figures since January, we didn’t know for sure that they were true. But when the LEGO Zombie Skateboarder minifigure went up for order last week, I knew it would only be a few days until we got official confirmation of the Halloween-themed Series 14 Minifigures–and that time has come!
