April really flew by, and now May is upon us! And that can mean just one thing (well, it means a variety of things, but…): the LEGO Store June 2014 Calendar is now available! Given all the thrills and excitement surrounding the May 2014 LEGO Store Calendar, you might think that June 2014 would be a letdown. However, that’s not so! The LEGO Stores have a terrific free polybag promo lined up for us next month, as well as a variety of LEGO Summer 2014 sets being released… including a certain Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!!!

I had my fears that the June 2014 LEGO Stores Calendar might end up being a little dull after the incredible May 2014 Calendar of events. Luckily, that turns out to not be so at all! While there’s not a ton of happenings at the LEGO Store in June 2014 as far as special events go, the month will see one of the best free LEGO set promotions of the year and several major set releases that LEGO Movie fans (*cough* me *cough*) have been salivating over.

First up is the one free promo set for June 2014: the LEGO Balloon Cart 40108! I talked about the LEGO 40108 Balloon Cart at length yesterday, but I wanted to mention it again, as it’s such a terrific little promo. This is going to go great with the LEGO Fairground Mixer when it hits LEGO Stores in the next couple of weeks!

Of course, what you can buy at the LEGO Store is just as exciting next month as what you can get for free! Originally, the LEGO Movie was scheduled to be released on DVD/Blu Ray in August 2014. That has changed–the movie will now be released in home video formats on June 17, 2014 (and you can pre-order the LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition with exclusive Virtruvius figure here). But not only has the LEGO Movie DVD/Blu-Ray release been moved forward–so have the final three scheduled LEGO Movie sets!

That’s right, even though they were originally planned to ship out in August 2014 to coincide with the release of The LEGO Movie on Blu Ray and DVD, the much-anticipated trio of LEGO Movie sets including Emmet’s Construct-O-Mech, the Super Secret Police Enforcer and Benny’s Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! will all now be available in stores on June 1st, 2014! I’ll be seeing you June 1st, LEGO Store!

And oh yeah, there’s also this other set being released from a movie some of you may have heard of, called… Ghostbusters! The CUUSOO LEGO Ghostbusters set containing the LEGO Ecto-1 and all four LEGO Ghostbusters minifigures will be cruising into LEGO Stores on June 1st, 2014 as well!

The back of the June 2014 LEGO Store Calendar reveals even more high-profile new sets are coming our way next month, including the Summer 2014 LEGO Friends sets, the new LEGO Ultra Agents sets, and even the new LEGO Minecraft The End 21107 Micro-World set!

In addition, the West Hartford, Connecticutt LEGO Store will be opening in June, and an 8-Foot LEGO R2-D2 Master Builder event will take place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Other events at The LEGO Store in June 2014 include Jet Ski Mini Monthly Build model on Tueday, June 3rd (sorry, it’s only for kids–us old folks not allowed!), the LEGO Movie Speed Build competition on June 18th 2014, and an awesome flaming Angry Kitty Unikitty T-Shirt for the LEGO Movie club meeting on June 28, 2014! Woe is me that that amazing Angry Kitty shirt is just for children…!

Overall, June 2014 is looking to be both a fun and expensive month for LEGO collectors (and me!). What do you think of next month’s LEGO Store Calendar, LEGO fans? Anything on this calendar getting you excited (as if the answer could be anything but “YES!”)?
