70726 LEGO Ninjago Destructoid Winter 2014 Set Close-Up

There’s one more winter LEGO Ninjago 2014 set that I haven’t discussed yet, but I think it’s time I remedied that situation! LEGO has now released photos of the final 2014 LEGO Ninjago set (or at least the final one of the sets being released in January 2014): the LEGO Ninjago Destructoid 70726. While the LEGO Destructoid isn’t the largest or most impressive of the 2014 Ninjago LEGO sets, it can boast something that none of its counterparts can: it’s a retailer store exclusive…

LEGO Winter 2014 Sets LEGO Batman Man-Bat Attack 76011 Box

I was looking over the previews I’d written for the fast-approaching LEGO Winter 2014 sets and was surprised to see that I’d skipped one of the LEGO Batman 2014 sets, despite the fact that there are only four new sets coming out! Considering that the set I skipped discussing is also the one that I like best of the 2014 LEGO Superheroes winter wave, I figured I’d better remedy that. Let’s talk about the LEGO Batman Man-Bat Attack 76011 set!

2014 LEGO Chima Lavertus Twin Blade 70129 Box

I started off my previews of the Winter 2014 LEGO Legends of Chima sets last week with the LEGO Chima Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger, which happens to be my favorite one of the new Legends of Chima LEGO sets due out next month.

So to balance things out and keep everything fair, today I’m going to discuss the set that has the (dis)honor of being my least-favorite of the LEGO Chima 2014 sets: Lavertus’ Twin Blade 70129!

2014 LEGO Ninjago Nindroid Mech Dragon 70725 Released in Stores

Though it was never my favorite theme, for some reason the return of Ninjago this winter has gotten me really jazzed for the LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets!

Even though the sets aren’t due to be officially released until December, I’ve been out hitting stores in the United States for the past week trying to get an early set. I’ve come up short until this weekend, when I not only spotted a couple of the new 2014 Ninjago sets in stores for the first time, but also ordered the one I wanted the most–The 2014 LEGO Ninjago Nindroid Mech Dragon 70725 is now available from Amazon at a discounted price and with free shipping!

I can’t help but feel like I’ve had an endless parade of LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets to talk about over the last few weeks, but with this preview I will finally be at the end of the long new 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets list!

Don’t get too excited, though–the final set to be shown off for the January 2014 LEGO Star Wars wave is a remake of an older set with a weird assortment of minifigures. It’s the LEGO Star Wars Droid Tri-Fighter 75044!

LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Milennium Falcon 75030 Winter 2014 Set Box

“These LEGO sets are for kids. They’re not meant for me. These LEGO sets are for kids. They’re not meant for me.” I’ve started repeating those words almost like a manta when looking at the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters sets, because otherwise I cannot mentally cope with what are certainly the weirdest LEGO Star Wars sets that LEGO has come up with yet. Due out in stores in Winter 2014–it’s LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Series 1!

2014 LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Police Gunshop 75046 Set Box

I am unashamed to admit that I cried when Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi order at the end of Clone Wars. As you might imagine, I am a pretty big Star Wars Clone Wars fan. So while some LEGO Star Wars collectors were giddy that Clone Wars was cancelled, I was still holding out hope that we’d get a few more LEGO Clone Wars sets. And to my delight, one of the final LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets to be revealed is pure Clone Wars–it’s the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Police Gunship 75046!

2014 LEGO Chima 70132 Scorm's Scorpion Stinger Set

A lot of people give LEGO Legends of Chima a hard time, but I like the animal tribes concept plenty. Even so, I was getting bored after seeing crocodile-themed and wolf-themed sets all year. Luckily, LEGO is giving the LEGO Legends of Chima 2014 sets an infusion of new blood and new style with new tribes next year! And seeing the first Chima Scorpion Tribe set, the 2014 LEGO Chima Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger 70132, has remedied any malaise toward Chima that I was feeling!

2014 LEGO Batman The Joker Steam Roller 76013 Box

It took a little bit longer than I was expecting it to, but images of the last of the four LEGO Batman 2014 sets have finally made their appearance online! I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the LEGO 76013 Batman: The Joker Steam Roller set when it was first rumored, but little by little it won me over as various minifigures in the set leaked out. Even so, I thought that LEGO The Joker Steam Roller 76013 was going to be an easy pass for me–until I saw hi-res images today and discovered a LEGO Batman minifigure I just can’t live without…

I went out this morning searching for the 2014 LEGO Ninjago Nindroid MechDragon set, but I came up empty-handed at every store in my area. The voyage wasn’t a total loss, however. In fact–far from it!
