If you’ve been chomping at the bit to get another wildly non-canonical LEGO Star Wars minifigure, LEGO has a treat for you! Along with this week’s DVD release of “LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out”, there’s an exclusive minifigure packed in–though he’s certainly not one you’ll remember from the original trilogy or even the prequels. It’s the LEGO Star Wars The Empire Strikes Out exclusive Darth Vader with Medal minifigure!

As we approach the second quarter of 2013, LEGO Star Wars fans have been abuzz with discussions over just who (or what) would be the annual LEGO Star Wars May the 4th exclusive promotional minifigure. After last year’s highly-prized chrome silver TC-14 minifigure, fans had they hopes pretty high. Maybe too high. We now know what’s the special Star Wars May 4th promo minifigure will be. It’s a brown coat Hoth Han Solo minifigure… with a new hat…

There were two LEGO Star Wars sets for Summer 2013 that weren’t displayed at the 2013 Toy Fair and thus had gone unseen by the public… until now. A small photo has hit the internet of one of the two remaining 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets for this summer, confirming the rumors we’d previously heard. It’s the LEGO Star Wars HH-87 Starhopper 75024… but just what is this obscure ship, and who are those minifigures that it comes with?

With so many immensely popular licensed LEGO themes around this year, it’s easy to let some of the smaller, original themes fall through the cracks. But though it doesn’t have a juggernaut franchise behind it, the LEGO 2013 Galaxy Squad theme has some amazingly cool and unique designs capable of catching anyone’s attention. I love the Galaxy Squad’s fusion of science fiction technology and insectoid aliens, and am definitely looking forward to the four LEGO Galaxy Squad Summer 2013 sets that have just been fully revealed…

It’s been over a month since photos of the first (underwhelming) upcoming LEGO set for the Superman “Man of Steel” movie was revealed, but this week a second and far beefier set was revealed to the public. The LEGO Superman Battle of Smallville 76003 set includes some intriguing components, including an extraterrestrial dropship, several exclusive Kryptonians minifigures, and even a bald minifigure that looks like Lex Luthor (but isn’t)…

The fourth and final of the LEGO Lord of the Rings Summer 2013 sets is also the biggest LOTR set of the year–it’s the LEGO Lord of the Rings Pirate Ship Ambush 79008! Though the pirate ship gets limited screen time in the Return of the King movie, it has a unique design and some compelling opportunities for minifigures that could be included with it that LEGO has capitalized on. Fans who have been waiting patiently (or impatiently) for LEGO Army of the Dead and Peter Jackson minifigure are going to be very, very pleased with this set…

Lord of the Rings is such a grandiose production that it’s often difficult to pare the majesty of any particular scene down to something that can be contained in a little set for less than $13. But coming up this summer, LEGO has found a way to recreate one of the most crazy Lord of the Rings battles in LEGO form in one cheap, beautiful little set. As part of the Summer 2013 wave of LEGO Lord of the Rings sets, it’s LEGO The Wizard Battle 79005…

With only a few sets being released per year, there’s not always a lot for LEGO Collectable Minifigures series collectors to look forward to. That’s why, even though LEGO released high-resolution images of LEGO Minifigures Series 10 a few weeks ago, we’ve all been on the edge of our sets with anticipation, wondering just what the packaging for LEGO CMF Series 10 was going to look like, and what kind of inserts would be included. And as of today, now we know–the bags will be gold (for an obvious reason), and there’s an extra insert beyond the checklist we usually get…

The day Lord of the Rings fans have been anticipating since the theatrical release of The Hobbit is finally here–The Hobbit DVD/Blu-Ray was released in stores today! And there’s an extra-special incentive for LEGO Lord of the Rings fan at Target stores, as The Hobbit DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack there comes with an exclusive, limited-edition LEGO Bilbo Baggins Minifigure! Despite the snowstorm in Boston this morning, I set out on my own journey to Target and back again just to pick up this exclusive LEGO The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins minifigure for my own…

There’s so much LEGO news out there right now in the wake of last month’s New York Toy Fair 2013 that a poor collector could drown in it, so I’ve gone through and conglomerated all of the LEGO Legends of Chima Summer 2013 news in one place! Read on for the full LEGO Chima Summer 2013 set list and links to my in-depth previews for each and every major LEGO Legends of Chima set…

While many complain about LEGO rehashing the same LEGO Star Wars vehicles over and over, you can’t deny that there are vehicles that kids and collectors always, always want! One such vehicle is perhaps the most popular vehicle from the entirety of the Clone Wars, the LEGO Star Wars Republic Gunship 75021! Though its been released in full-size form twice before, in Summer 2013 the LEGO Republic Gunship is back for a much-demanded third engagement…

Sometimes LEGO will reveal an upcoming set and I’ll have to cringe and restrain myself from blurting out: “That set is gonna really bomb.” The Homing Spider Droid 75016 is one of those sets. Mainly comprised of two large previously-released droids that were unpopular the first time around, and combined with a boring selection of minifigures, this LEGO Star Wars Summer 2013 set seems destined to end up on clearance racks a year from now…
