When the LEGO Justice League vs. Bizarro League DVD set was revealed last weekend, I knew it would only be a short wait until we saw pre-orders open for the set. And thus, I’ve been staking out online retailers all week waiting for the special to go up for order.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long–the LEGO DC Super Heroes Justice League vs. Bizarro League set with Batzarro minifigure is now up for order at the discounted price of 30% Off and eligible for free shipping!

You know you’re a genuine comic book nerd when: an exclusive LEGO figure of the Bizarro Batman, Batzarro is announced, and you actually know who that character is.
LEGO is apparently planning to crank out LEGO DC Super Heroes products in 2015 like never before, and over the weekend, word broke about their next endeavor: an original animated LEGO Justice League movie! The LEGO DC Comics: Justice League vs. Bizarro League movie is coming to DVD/Blu-Ray in 2015, and it’s bringing along an exclusive LEGO Batzarro minifigure!

It seems rather sacrilegious to be jumping forward and talking about Christmas and the holidays on Halloween, but it’s the last day of the month, and that can mean only one thing: the newest LEGO Store monthly calendar has been released! And it’s the final calendar of the year–the December 2014 LEGO Store Calendar has arrived!
But while December is the biggest shopping month of the year at the LEGO Stores and this is the final LEGO Store Calendar of 2014, don’t expect it to be rife with deals–LEGO unfortunately did not save the best for last…

It’s been fun while it lasted, but the Toys R Us 2014 LEGO Bricktober event comes to a close this week! Along with the very popular LEGO Bat Signal build event that took place a couple weekends ago, Bricktober 2014 has been headlined by a different LEGO Mini Modular Building being given out each week. If you’ve missed any or all of the previous sets they’re available for sale online, but the fourth and final Bricktober 2014 set is now available free with a qualifying purchase at Toys R Us: the 40183 LEGO Town Hall!

I wandered into Target this morning to pick up some Rotel and Velveeta to make into queso and gorge myself on, when I unexpectedly stumbled across the rarest of the rare: an exclusive LEGO item that I didn’t even know was coming to stores! This particular item is likely only for the most hardcore collectors, parents shopping for holiday gifts for kids–and those who have a crazy “thing” for the color orange like me: the limited Target exclusive orange LEGO Storage Brick and T-Shirt set has now been released!

If you’ve been trembling with anticipation for the eventual debut of the 2014 LEGO Holiday Promo Set 2 of 2 (like me!), you can cease jittering, LEGO fans! While LEGO almost certainly didn’t mean to let the cat out of the bag just yet, the Polish LEGO Store accidentally shipped out the second LEGO 2014 Holiday Promo set to some customers last week. We’ve had to wait longer than I’d have liked, but at last it can be seen: the 40107 LEGO Ice Skating Exclusive Holiday Promo Set has now been revealed!

Toys R Us has been working hard to lure LEGO customers in their stores all month long with their exclusive Mini Modular Building LEGO Bricktober 2014 free promo giveaways, and now they’ve got another big event planned to drive in buyers this weekend–a totally free Bricktober Build! With LEGO Batman mania at a fever pitch after The LEGO Movie and with LEGO Batman 3 set to hit stores in under a month, Toys R Us is ready to cash in with a free LEGO Bat Signal set build this weekend!

I’m back from the big city, and I didn’t come back from New York Comic Con 2014 empty-handed! Although LEGO didn’t show off any new products other than the first LEGO Bionicle 2014 sets at NYCC 2014 (and didn’t bring anything to sell–period), LEGO did have one very cool item available for LEGO collectors: the NYCC 2014 LEGO Bionicle Exclusive Tahu Mask! LEGO was only giving out a few hundred clear Tahu Masks per day (resulting in the NYCC 2014 Bionicle masks selling for $40-$100 online), but I was lucky enough to snag one for my collection and to take hi-res photos of…

Way back in July, I was scandalized when LEGO decided to make the LEGO Rocket Raccoon Warbird set a SDCC 2014 exclusive. I wasn’t thrilled about it, but I ended up dropping $100+ for that SDCC 2014 LEGO Rocket Raccoon set so that I could have a complete Rocket Raccoon shrine (I’m not kidding). Now I somewhat regret that decision, because I overpaid by at least $95 to get that LEGO Rocket Raccoon minifigure–because a Toys R Us exclusive Rocket Raccoon polybag with the same Rocket has now turned up online!

When the LEGO Store November 2014 calendar popped up unexpectedly early last week, one of the images on the calendar that really caught people’s eyes was a previously unseen LEGO Snowman set! Based on the lead time LEGO has on releasing LEGO seasonal sets before each holiday, it was pretty obvious that we’d be seeing the 2014 LEGO Seasonal Snowman set pretty soon. And lo and behold, one week later, here he is–and he didn’t come alone! The LEGO Reindeer 40092 and the LEGO Snowman 40093 have now been released!

LEGO is getting wise to our tricks of looking for the next month’s LEGO Store calendar a day early, so they thought they’d stop us from getting complacent and shake things up a bit this month–by uploading the November 2014 LEGO Store Calendar to the server earlier than ever! So not one, not two, not three, but four days early we’re getting our first glimpse of what LEGO has got cooked up for us in November 2014?
Unfortunately, the LEGO Store November 2014 Calendar is more of a tease than anything else, with more questions than answers…

A late-summer not-quite-Christmas miracle occurred last week: LEGO fully-unveiled the LEGO Winter Village 2014 set–LEGO Santa’s Workshop 10245! LEGO might have liked to have kept this set a surprise, but unfortunately (for them, not us) the first photo of the LEGO Winter Village Santa’s Workshop set leaked out way back in May. That photo was pretty grainy, and I’ve been looking forward to seeing the Santa’s Workshop LEGO set in all its hi-res glory ever since–and now, I finally can! The 10245 LEGO Santa’s Workshop set has now been revealed!
UPDATE: The LEGO Santa’s Workshop 10245 is now available for order!

Ever have one of those days where several people have let you know about a LEGO set you haven’t heard of before, you then drive around for three hours fruitlessly searching for it, end up ordering said LEGO set online, and then have the realization that it’s a set from last year and you already own it…? That’s pretty much my day today in a nutshell, as I went on an epic failed quest to find the newly reissued LEGO Halloween Pumpkin 40055 set that was originally released in 2013!

Earlier this week, the October 2014 LEGO Stores Calendar was posted, which made it very clear exactly where all of us will be spending all of our money in October 2014: the LEGO Store. After all, nothing could be nearly as enticing as Double LEGO VIP Rewards points and the LEGO 2014 Holiday Promo set, right? Or so I thought. Toys R Us is taking aim at our wallets as well in October 2014, and to my surprise, they really are going to claim whatever money I have left over! The Toys R Us Bricktober 2014 LEGO exclusive Mini Modular Building sets have now been revealed!
