I was about to move on and start discussing some of the non-Star Wars LEGO sets that were revealed at last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014, but I realized I would be remiss if I started discussing other themes before talking about this summer’s complementary set to the awesome new LEGO AT-AT.
We’ve had a whole fleet of them before, but in Summer 2014 we’re getting an all-new LEGO Star Wars Snowspeeder 75049 set!

Yesterday I discussed the biggest and most broke-inducing of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Summer sets (the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer), so today let’s take a look at the other “biggie” coming in Summer 2014!
This is another vehicle that we’ve seen done before–over and over, in fact–but it’s also another vehicle that there are always LEGO collectors and fans wanting.
Due August 2014–it’s the LEGO Star Wars AT-AT 75054!

Last week’s New York Toy Fair 2014 gave us our first chance to see all of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2014 sets, and of that huge assortment of sets, one stood larger (and more expensive) than all of the rest: the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer 75055! This will be the 8th time LEGO releases a set bearing the name of “Star Destroyer”, but does this set have what it takes to set itself apart as superior to its predecessors?

Christmas may be ten months away, but it’s never too early to get ready for the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar! While the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars have traditionally been slow sellers, the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar was a quick sellout. Last year’s set was headlined by the whimsical LEGO Santa Jango, but we learned at the Toy Fair 2014 this week that this year’s headliner is even crazier–LEGO Santa Darth Vader!

The waiting is over, and the New York Toy Fair 2014 has officially begun! Though we’ve known about basically every single set that’s on display at the event for months, this is our first opportunity to check them out up-close and personal and take photos to spread across the internet like wildfire! I’ll begin with one of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2014 sets that I was most looking forward to seeing–the LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina 75022!

The new year is coming a little bit later than expected for LEGO Star Wars collectors, as for the first time in quite a while, a whopping zero new LEGO Star Wars sets were released in the January of a new year. But fear not–the drought is at an end! Though they weren’t scheduled to be released until next week, the winter 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets have all been released now in the LEGO Stores! I picked up a few sets and photographed them all at my local LEGO Store yesterday…

Last night I discussed the awesome LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost Summer 2014 mega-set, but if that nearly $100 beast is too much for your blood, LEGO has also premiered a more economical LEGO Rebels set at the German Nuremberg Toy Fair 2014. Flying into the Star Wars Rebels animated series–and our LEGO collections in Summer 2014–it’s the LEGO Star Wars Phantom 75048!

Make no mistake: I loved and mourn for Star Wars Clone Wars. But there comes a time when one has to move on–and for me, that time is now. See, while we still have the better part of a year before the Star Wars Rebel cartoon series debuts, another important debut has already occurred: LEGO has premiered their Summer 2014 LEGO Star Wars The Ghost 75053 set from Star Wars Rebels!

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…

It’s sort of strange–the new year has arrived, but not a single one of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets has turned up at retail yet. Ordinarily, there have been at least a few early sightings at Toys R Us by now. But this year? Nada. Even so, we know all of the regular-sized LEGO Star Wars 2014 winter and summer sets already, and now we even know what the 2014 LEGO Star Wars polybags sets are going to be! The Emperor will be arriving shortly in the cutest little LEGO Imperial Shuttle ever, flanked by a pair of quasi-popular prequel starfighters…

Goodbye LEGO 2013… Hello LEGO 2014! After spending the last several months previewing the Winter 2014 LEGO sets, I expected I’d have the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a short respite while news was slow for a while. Nope!
The Hungarian retailer Markabolt had to go an spoil my break by leaking a plethora of LEGO Summer 2014 sets names! I can’t complain too much though, as the rumored LEGO Star Wars Summer 2014 sets lineup is the strongest assortment in a long, long time…

For as long as I can remember LEGO producing LEGO Advent Calendars, I can remember hundreds of the various LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars and LEGO City Advent Calendars accumulating into piles and sitting on stores shelves at clearance prices for months after the holidays are over. I always buy my Advent Calendar LEGO sets early (because I’m crazy), but I’ve also always taken for granted that there would be a surplus left in stores long after the holidays. Well… it looks like that isn’t the case anymore, as the 2013 LEGO Advent Calendars are totally sold out and becoming very expensive on the aftermarket…

Now that November 2013 and the holiday shopping season have arrived, so too have the Holiday 2013 LEGO Sales and Deals! The last two months of any given calendar year have more great discounts and savings on LEGO sets than pretty much any other time of the year, and I’ll be doing my best to keep this site updated with the major sales and discounts going on as we approach Christmas and the 2013 Holiday Season!
I’ll also be sharing the best LEGO sales items I hear about on Facebook, so be sure to ‘Like’ Bricks and Bloks on Facebook if you want to have new LEGO sales and deals sent straight to your Facebook Newsfeed!
UPDATE 12/2/2013: There were some absolutely CRAZY amazing deals going on earlier today for Cyber Monday, but they’re selling out now much faster than I can update this post…

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!
