LEGO Plastic Man Minifigure & LEGO Batman 3 Pre-Order Bonuses!

LEGO Plastic Man Minifigure LEGO Batman 3 Gamestop Pre-Order Bonus Exclusive

Some people say that the LEGO video games are getting old. Me? I never get tired of them. And something else that I never get tired of is getting cool pre-order bonuses when I buy my LEGO video games! Is it expensive and sort of annoying that LEGO keeps making spectacular exclusive pre-order items with their games? Yeah, sort of. But would I rather have these items as special incentives for buying a game than not at all? Definitely. And today the LEGO Batman 3 video game pre-order bonuses were announced–headlined by the Gamestop Exclusive LEGO Plastic Man minifigure!

LEGO Monkey Monthly Mini Model Build! (August 2014)

LEGO Stores August 2014 Monkey LEGO Mini Monthly Model Build

When we go for too long without any LEGO sets being released or any major LEGO news leaking out, I begin to go a little bit crazy and start doing weird things. What type of weird things? Well, for one, I make trips to the LEGO Store even though there won’t be anything new in the store. Why? To see a free promo set that I’m never going to have the opportunity to build or own anyway. Yes, it’s boredom-borne desperation time here in Bricks and Bloks world, so I headed out to my local LEGO Store to check out the LEGO August 2014 Monthly Mini Model Build Monkey set in person!

LEGO Star Wars Echo Base 7749 Retired Set Giveaway Contest!

LEGO 7749 Echo Base LEGO Star Wars Hoth Set Exclusive Anniversary Edition

Let’s face it: LEGO releases far, far too many sets for any one person to collect all of in any given year. As regular readers know, I buy a lot of LEGO sets in any given month, but I don’t come anywhere near owning everything that’s available. Some sets slip through the cracks and go out of production (and off store shelves) before we can add them to our collections. Luckily, there are great online stores out there that sell retired LEGO sets, and one such store is offering our readers a giveaway!

Read on to find out how you can win one of two retired LEGO Star Wars Echo Base 7749 sets, to be given away by new online retailer Fun.com!

LEGO Chima Worriz’ Fire Bike 30265 Polybag Promo Set Revealed!

30265 LEGO Chima Worriz' Fire Bike Polybag Promo Set

Ever since it was announced last month that Europe would be getting the LEGO Legends of Chima Worriz’ Fire Bike 30265 polybag promo set as a freebie in July 2014, Chima fans have been writing me and asking if they should be worried about the set not coming to the United States. I’ve been telling them to sit tight for just a little while longer, as the set would almost certainly make it to America shortly after the UK and the rest of Europe. That faith has been rewarded–the 30265 LEGO Worriz’ Fire Bike promo polybag has now been announced for a North America release!

August 2014 LEGO Stores Calendar: Promos, Releases & Events!

August 2014 LEGO Store Calendar

The last several weeks have been unbearably slow as far as LEGO news and releases go. I’ve literally been making trips out to the store for no reason whatsoever other than the futile hope of discovering previously unknown polybag sets just showing up in stores at random.

But the LEGO withdrawal anxiety is at an end, as there is finally some fresh LEGO summer news to report! Though we haven’t quite made it into July, the August 2014 LEGO Store Calendar of promos, releases and events is now available!

Mini LEGO Mini Cooper 40109 Polybag Promo Revealed!

LEGO Mini Cooper 40109 Polybag Promo Mini Mini Cooper Set

As soon as word leaked out regarding the release of this year’s LEGO Creator Expert Mini Cooper 10242, LEGO fans began speculating about the possibility that LEGO would release a LEGO Mini Mini Cooper (Mini Cooper Mini?) as a promotional item alongside the LEGO Mini Cooper 10242. I was doubtful of whether or not we’d get a LEGO Mini Cooper Mk. II polybag right away, but I can’t be skeptical anymore: the Mini LEGO Mini Cooper 40109 polybag promo set is arriving this summer!

LEGO Balloon Stand 40108 LEGO Stores June 2014 Free Promo!

40108 LEGO Balloon Cart June 2014 Free Promo Polybag Set Revealed

LEGO Stores have had some lackluster free promos in 2014, as well as some pretty smashing ones. But the one that LEGO revealed today may take the cake as being the best LEGO polybag set of 2014!

LEGO TMNT Movie Turtle Van Takedown 79115 Revealed & Photos

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Turtle Van Takedown 79115 Box

In case you hadn’t heard, there’s a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on the way from director Michael Bay. I’m not the biggest Michael Bay fan these days (though the theme for his first Transformers movie is my wedding song), so I’m skeptical. That said, one thing I’ll never turn my nose up at is more LEGO TMNT sets! A trio of LEGO TMNT movie sets is coming our way this summer, and the first one I’ll discuss is the LEGO Turtle Van Takedown 79115!

May 2014 LEGO Store Calendar Front Scan

It’s April 1st, which means three things: 1) the LEGO Stores April 2014 Calendar of Promos, Sales and Events is now in effect; 2) It’s April Fool’s Day (don’t worry, I won’t prank anyone–I utterly detest this day); and 3) the May 2014 LEGO Store Calendar has now arrived!

While there isn’t anything particularly shocking on the LEGO Stores May 2014 Calendar, it does confirm some things we had already surmised, including the release of the LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler 75059 and the May the 4th LEGO Darth Revan minifigure promo…

The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition Pre-Order Details

The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition Blu Ray DVD Set with Exclusive Vitruvius Minifigure

When the first word leaked out earlier this month regarding The LEGO Movie: Everything is Awesome Edition Blu Ray/DVD set with exclusive Prologue Vitruvius minifigure, I was immediately skeptical of the notion that the set would be exclusive to any one retailer (even one as prominent as Walmart).

Turns out I was right, as over the weekend Amazon has opened pre-orders for the LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition set and revealed all the details about the set…

LEGO Star Wars Darth Revan Minifigure Polybag Figure

We’re barely a month away from the annual LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event, and we still don’t know exactly what the super-desirable exclusive LEGO May the 4th 2014 exclusive minifigure is going to be. Ever since the LEGO Star Wars TC-4 minifigure polybag showed up overseas fans have suspected it of being the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promo for this year, but that’s never rang true with me. What does seem like a real possibility, however, is the just-revealed LEGO Star Wars Darth Revan Minifigure!

The LEGO Movie Blu-Ray Exclusive Vitruvius Minifigure!

The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition Cover Art with Exclusive Vitruvius Minifigure

There’s been a lot of talk going around this week about the “ultimate” edition of The LEGO Movie on DVD/Blu Ray, but I wanted to wait until as many facts as possible about the release came out before discussing it.

Well, we still don’t have complete details, but I think it’s time to talk about The LEGO Movie “Everything is Awesome Edition” release! The set will include The LEGO Movie is four formats and a brand-new, exclusive LEGO Vitruvius minifigure–but will the LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome edition be a store exclusive itself…?
