Of the four LEGO Marvel Summer 2014 sets that are on the way, only one of those sets isn’t based on the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I tend to prefer LEGO Marvel comic-based sets to Marvel movie-based sets, so ordinarily I’d be pretty disappointed to just get a sole comics-based LEGO Marvel set to close out 2014. But when the one LEGO Marvel Summer 2014 set is X-Men focused, it’s tough to be disappointed! Coming in August 2014–the LEGO X-Men vs. The Sentinel 76022 set!

Without fail every LEGO Collectable Minifigures series leaks out to stores early, and this set is no exception–the LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series is now showing up for sale online and in stores!

To say that the initial CUUSOO LEGO Minecraft set 21102 released last year was a smash hit would be an understatement. LEGO 21102, with its Steve and Creeper Micromob figures, was an overwhelming success for LEGO–so much so that LEGO will be releasing another pair of LEGO Minecraft sets this fall! Coming to LEGO Stores in September 2013, it’s the LEGO Minecraft The Village 21105 and The Nether 21106 sets!

I was saving my discussion of the release of LEGO 71002 Minifigures Series 11 for the official release date of September 1, 2013–but judging by the various store reports I’ve read and the fact that there are already hundreds of LEGO Minifigures Series 11 sets and individual up for sale on eBay, I might as well jump the gun as well and talk about the release of the first post-Mr. Gold LEGO Minifigures Series…

When I went to the LEGO Store over the weekend, it was strictly to hunt down and obtain the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar set (which I did). But ever since, something was nagging at the back of my mind, urging me to go back to the LEGO Store. And there was only way to scratch the itch, and that was to return to the store and pick up the 2013 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60024, which has now been released in stores as well!

I’ve been traveling for the first part of this month, which has been agonizing because a) I hate traveling, and b) for the first time in ages, I’m nowhere near a LEGO Store! Thus, it’s taken me a bit longer to acquire the September 2013 LEGO Store Calendar than it usually would, as I haven’t had any LEGO Stores employees to bug for next month’s calendar! Thankfully, a generous reader–Devorah–kindly scanned and sent in the entire calendar, so we can also see the LEGO Store September 2013 events, promos, monthly builds and more!

Following all of the drama, controversy and disappointment that coincided with the SDCC 2013 LEGO exclusive sets and minifigures, it’s nice to get some pure, unadulterated good news for a change! And that’s just what we’ve got today–some good old fashioned exciting, happy news! Though many collectors thought that a particular minifigure given out for free in June of this year at LEGOLand California was going to become an impossible to find grail, that’s not going to be the case at all! Coming to LEGO Stores as a free promo in September 2013: LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant Minifigure 5001709!

If you were smart and bided your time, it’s about to pay off! Though LEGO debuted the fan-demanded LEGO Back to the Future Delorean set at San Diego Comic Con 2013 in mid-July, supplies at the convention were limited and prices for the set quickly exploded on the aftermarket. I urged readers to not lose patience and to wait for August 1st, when the LEGO The Delorean Time Machine 21103 set would be available to all online for regular price–and that time is now! The LEGO Back to the Future Time Machine is now available exclusively though the online LEGO Store for the retail price of $34.99!

Confession time: I didn’t plan on buying the new Summer 2013 LEGO Star Wars Corporate Alliance Tank Droid 75015. I ragged on this set when it was unveiled at the 2013 Toy Fair, and I had no intention of buying it–right up until it was the set priced closest to the LEGO Mandalorian Speeder I was buying as part of a BOGO sale. I’m lucky I did pick the new 75015 LEGO Star Wars Tank Droid up on a whim, though–because I absolutely love it!

You’ve waited long enough, LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series fans! I’ve been saying for months that I was pretty certain we would get our first look at the entire lineup of LEGO Minifigures Series 11 during San Diego Comic Con 2013, and it has come to pass!
LEGO Scarecrow and LEGO Gingerbread Man and LEGO Grandma–OH MY! Here they are–all sixteen figures that make up LEGO Minifigures Series 11 71002!
