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…

2015 has not been a fun year for me (at all), and as a result, I haven’t partaken in a lot of the fun activities that I usually enjoy–including opening oodles of blind bag toys and compiling code lists for them.
But while I was at Toys R Us today, I came face to face with the newly-released K’NEX Super Mario Series 6 blind bags and, well… one thing led to another! And so, the Super Mario K’NEX Series 6 blind bag figure codes are as follows…

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!

They say that good things come to those who wait. Well, that certainly seems to be the case with the latest polybag release, which collectors in the United States have been waiting for for over half a year! But at long last, the LEGO Joker Bumper Car 30303 set is finally arriving at retail in the United States in mass! Here’s where you can buy it–and when you can get it for free…

Seeing as how September 4th is going to be Star Wars Force Friday–perhaps the biggest day for Star Wars collectible reveals ever–I half-expected the September 2015 LEGO Store Calendar to be totally Star Wars themed.
But nope! It’s an eclectic calendar with an emphasis on Ninjago Airjitzu, a free poster for a much-maligned prequel film, and a free promo set featuring everyone’s favorite vehicle to go cruising on: a tractor!

If you follow the Bricks and Bloks Facebook Page (and if you don’t–shame on you), you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been posting photos and teasing a review of a certain highly-anticipated set for the past week.
While the LEGO Jokerland 76035 Summer 2015 set won’t officially release in the United States until next week, my favorite fellow collector Dave M. tracked one down that snuck out early at Toys R Us! And after a monumental amount of prodding and harassment, I finally convinced Dave to compose a full LEGO Jokerland review and photo gallery…

For the most part, the 2015 LEGO Marvel sets are being dominated by sets themed around this year’s Marvel Cinematic Universe movies (Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man). But there are a few goodies for non-movie fans as part of the LEGO Marvel Summer 2015 sets wave, and one of them is the subject of today’s review: it’s the LEGO Carnage’s SHIELD Sky Attack 76036 set!

Why hello there! It’s been a while, right? Although our new home still has no internet (I’m writing this post from my phone–seriously), it’s thankfully been a very slow couple of weeks for LEGO news, so I haven’t missed out on covering too much. But something finally popped up today that I definitely wanted to talk about. We’ve known about a certain promo since last winter, but hi-res photos of what’s sure to be one of the most popular free promos of 2015 have now appeared: it’s the LEGO Classic Pirates 5003082 set coming free to LEGO Stores in August 2015!

For the last couple months, the LEGO has been just a wee bit late posting the next month’s LEGO Store calendar. But just when I think I’ve got a handle on it, LEGO goes and pulls the rug out from under me again!
With over half a week left until July, the August 2015 LEGO Store Calendar of deals, free promos and events has now been revealed!

As I’ve mentioned a few times in the past, I’m not exactly what you would call “a car guy”. So when LEGO made their huge June 2015 set announcement and press release this week, I was like “A red car. Hunh.” But as it turns out, plenty of readers are excited about this set and asking me about it, so let’s chat about the LEGO Creator Ferrari F40 10248 set coming our way in just a few short weeks!

If LEGO is really looking to create a stir and earn the hatred of a lot of hardcore superhero fans with their lottery SDCC 2015 exclusives, they’re doing a good job.
First they announced the raffle-only SDCC LEGO Captain America Falcon Minifigure, and now they’ve announced the DC entry: from the beloved TV show “Arrow”, it’s the exclusive LEGO Arsenal Minifigure!
