With The LEGO Movie hitting theaters in under three weeks, we’ve already got LEGO Movie sets coming out the wazoo. But with LEGO, there’s always room for more, right? And there’s especially room for more low-priced, small LEGO polybag sets! The next LEGO Movie polybag set to hit stores will be the LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer 30282 set with LEGO Robo SWAT Minifigure! And as you might expect, it’s another store exclusive…

We’re under a month away from the premiere of The LEGO Movie in theaters, and the LEGO Movie toys just keep on coming! We expect to see the gigantic LEGO Movie Metalbeard’s Sea Cow 70810 mega-set revealed in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, images of an all-new pair of the LEGO Movie polybagged minifigures have turned up online! Expected to be available later on this spring: The LEGO Movie Robot DJ minifigure and Pyjamas Emmet (Pajamas Emmet) minifigure polybags!

The absolutely worst-kept LEGO secret in 2013 was the upcoming LEGO The Simpsons theme. We’ve had to live with tiny dribbles of information regarding the LEGO 2014 Simpsons theme for the past half-year, with the bulk of our news coming from rumors and Simpsons minifigure prototypes stolen from the factories. But now we’ve got our biggest glimpse at the Simpsons LEGO theme yet–and I do mean big! It’s the 2,523 piece LEGO The Simpsons House 71006!

Are you ready for yet another potentially super-rare LEGO minifigure exclusive? I sure hope so if you’re a LEGO Star Wars minifigure completist, because last week LEGO released a new LEGO Star Wars minifigure overseas that has to be one of the most difficult-to-obtain Star Wars LEGO figures ever: the maroon protocol droid, TC-4 minifigure! A few of these TC-4 minifigures have shown up for sale online already, but if you want this incredibly-elusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure, it will seriously cost you…

Uh-oh! Looks like LEGO is at it again! It’s becoming a time-honored tradition for LEGO to blackmail collectors into purchasing the latest LEGO video games just to have a complete minifigure collection. Two years ago it was the exclusive Elrond minifigure with the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game. Last year it was the awesome Iron Patriot minifigure with the LEGO Marvel video game. And this year? You’re going to have to pre-order The LEGO Movie video game from Gamestop to get your hands on the exclusive LEGO Movie Western Emmet minifigure…

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…

This weekend is one of the most anticipated of the year for LEGO collectors, as the LEGO Brickcon 2013 event is taking place in Seattle, Washington. Not to leave their fans hanging without something new and immensely cool to talk about, LEGO has now released details and photos of their upcoming 2014 LEGO Modular Building, and it is as amazing–inside and out–as any modular building LEGO has done before! Coming in January 2014–LEGO Parisian Restaurant 10243!
UPDATE: The LEGO Parisian Restaurant 10243 is now available for order online, as well as from the official chain of LEGO 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!

We’ve all started looking ahead to 2014 and all of the cool new LEGO Winter 2014 sets that we’ll be buying next month, so why shouldn’t LEGO start looking ahead as well? Even though the Holiday Pick-A-Brick box promo will be ongoing throughout this month, LEGO has already revealed their next big promotional set. Coming to LEGO Stores as the January 2014 promo: the LEGO City Police ATV 30228 polybag set!

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…

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!

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!

I run a LEGO news blog, so it pretty much blows my mind and drops my jaw when I walk into a local store and see a LEGO set sitting on the shelf that I know absolutely nothing about. This isn’t the kind of thing that occurs every day–in fact, it doesn’t even happen every year–but it did happen when I was at my local Target yesterday! Even crazier, it’s a set that was supposedly released last year. Coming back to a Target store near you–the LEGO Holiday Train 40034 polybag set!
