LEGO 12043 Parisian Restaurant Building On Display at LEGO Store

The new year has arrived, and while some of the winter LEGO 2014 sets are still missing in action (most notably LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Legends of Chima), LEGO Stores have fully restocked and have plenty of other goodness to be had! The biggest and most exciting new additions today were of course the long-awaited LEGO Parisian Restaurant 10243 Modular Building set and the LEGO Maersk Line Triple-E 10241! I headed over to a local LEGO Store this morning, and was amped to see both humongous sets in-stock and also fully-built and on display…

Goodbye LEGO 2013… Hello LEGO 2014! After spending the last several months previewing the Winter 2014 LEGO sets, I expected I’d have the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a short respite while news was slow for a while. Nope!

The Hungarian retailer Markabolt had to go an spoil my break by leaking a plethora of LEGO Summer 2014 sets names! I can’t complain too much though, as the rumored LEGO Star Wars Summer 2014 sets lineup is the strongest assortment in a long, long time…

LEGO 2014 Ninjago Destructoid 70726 Set Released in Stores

While I was hanging out at the LEGO Store yesterday and taking photographs of all of the various The LEGO Movie sets, I wasn’t expecting to see anything else I hadn’t seen before. After all, the official release date for the majority of the LEGO 2014 sets isn’t until this Wednesday–1/1/2014–so there shouldn’t be anything else fresh out just yet.

Of course, this is all just a very long lead-in to me asserting that I was incorrect, and a set appeared before me for the very first time yesterday: the 2014 LEGO Ninjago Destructoid 70726 has now been released!

The LEGO Movie Sets LEGO 2014 Released In Stores and Online

I haven’t the foggiest idea why LEGO opted to set the official release date for the 2014 LEGO Movie sets three days before the massive release of the rest of the LEGO 2014 sets, but the day has finally arrived! Although all of the LEGO Movie sets are now available for order online, I set off this morning to hit up a variety of stores and see just what I could find from the new The LEGO Movie sets. I had to drive a little bit and hit more stores than I expected, but I eventually managed to see the LEGO Movie Minifigures Series blind bags and every one of the LEGO Movie sets!

41506 LEGO Mixels Teslo Electroids Figure 2014

Given their decades of immense success and the thousands of extremely fun toys they’ve produced, LEGO has earned my trust and respect. Even so, occasionally LEGO will reveal something that will make me raise my eyebrow a little bit and make me wonder what in the world they’re thinking. Such was the case when I saw one of the big new LEGO 2014 themes for the first time: LEGO Mixels.

Having now read all of the available materials on LEGO Mixels and observing each 2014 LEGO Mixels set closely, I’m now willing to give Mixels the benefit of a doubt…

LEGO Movie Minifigures Series Found & Purchased with Photos!

The LEGO Movie Minifigures Series Blind Bags Found and Bought in Germany

Last week several readers reported in that their local Target stores had mistakenly put the 2014 LEGO Minifigure Series 12 The LEGO Movie Minifigures 71004 blind bags out on the shelves, but at the registers the cashiers were refusing to let them purchase the figures ahead of the release date! Well, Target may have been more successful at stopping buyers from purchasing toys before their release date than they were stopping hackers from stealing their customers’ credit card numbers (ouch–low blow), but today someone finally managed to purchase the LEGO 71004 Movie Minifigures and was kind enough to send in their photos…

LEGO 2013 Advent Calendars Sold Out; Prices Explode Online!

Posted on by
LEGO City 2013 Advent Calendar 60024 Set Box

For as long as I can remember LEGO producing LEGO Advent Calendars, I can remember hundreds of the various LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars and LEGO City Advent Calendars accumulating into piles and sitting on stores shelves at clearance prices for months after the holidays are over. I always buy my Advent Calendar LEGO sets early (because I’m crazy), but I’ve also always taken for granted that there would be a surplus left in stores long after the holidays. Well… it looks like that isn’t the case anymore, as the 2013 LEGO Advent Calendars are totally sold out and becoming very expensive on the aftermarket…
