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 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 Ninja Turtles Movie Sets Discounted & Up for Order!

Posted on by
LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Turtle Van Takedown 79115 Box

The LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie sets aren’t supposed to be officially released until next week (July 1st, 2014), but that isn’t stopping the world’s largest online retailer from getting the drop on all of their competitors! To the dismay of many, the only way to get LEGO minifigures of all four movie TMNT turtles will be to buy multiple sets–and none of them are cheap. But thanks to a pretty nifty pre-order discount, you can get the classic-inspired LEGO Turtle Van and the other two LEGO TMNT movie sets for at least a bit off their retail prices!

LEGO Star Wars Dark Side Emperor Palpatine Minifigure Revealed!

LEGO Star Wars The Dark Side Exclusive Emperor Palpatine Minifigure

LEGO books are sort of funny. Unlike basically every other line of books on the market, just as many (if not more) people buy each LEGO book released not for the books themselves (many don’t even read them), but for the bonus exclusive LEGO minifigure packaged with the book. Earlier in the month I fell in love with the exclusive LEGO Firox minifigure packed with the LEGO Chima Dictionary, but today we finally got photographic confirmation of a figure that will likely appeal to a lot more people: the LEGO Star Wars The Dark Side exclusive LEGO Emperor Palpatine minifigure!

The LEGO Movie Blu-Ray & DVD Sets Released in Stores!

The LEGO Movie DVD Blu-Ray Released In Stores On Sale

I have been yammering on constantly about The LEGO Movie and how much I couldn’t wait to own it every since I saw the movie on opening day in February–and now the fated day has finally arrived! I ordered my copy of The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition for the best price online (with no tax and free shipping!), but I didn’t feel like waiting for the mailman to come today to seen the LEGO Movie Blu-Ray and DVD releases in person, so I decided to head out to my local stores and take some photos of what I found…

LEGO Ninja Turtles Movie Sets Released Early & Photos!

LEGO Ninja Turtles Turtle Van Takedown 79115 Set Released

I’m pretty greedy about finding all of the newest LEGO sets first, which is why I’m out shopping literally almost every single day. But sometimes you have to concede that others have beaten you to the punch, and this is definitely one of those times. Though it hadn’t even occurred to me yet that they might be out at retail this early, three new LEGO sets have now turned up in the United States: the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie sets have now been released!

LEGO City Repair Lift 30229 Polybag Set Released & Photos!

LEGO City Repair Lift 30229 Polybag

After a nearly uncountable number of LEGO sets were released over the course of the past two months, I think I went into a mini-withdrawal of a sort when there was absolutely nothing new in stores to talk about. Rather than enjoying the brief respite, I decided to head out to local stores to see if there was anything LEGO at all I hadn’t seen before. And as luck would have it, I did find one new polybag set–the LEGO City Repair Lift 30229 set has now been released!

LEGO Legends of Chima Character Encyclopedia with Exclusive LEGO Firox Minifigure

While most of the summer 2014 LEGO sets have already begun hitting stores in the United States, LEGO Legends of Chima fans are going to have to wait just a little bit longer for the LEGO Chima summer 2014 sets. But not only are there the line-revitalizing LEGO Chima Fire vs. Ice sets to look forward to, but the highly-anticipated LEGO Legends of Chima Character Encyclopedia is now up for order! We’ve been waiting months to find out what the exclusive minifigure would be with the LEGO Chima Encyclopedia, and it does not disappoint–the Chima Phoenix Tribe LEGO Firox Minifigure has now been revealed!

LEGO Mixels Series 3 Tan Spikels Tribe Photos Preview

Hoogi Mixels LEGO Series 3 41523 Set Polybag

Following up my discussions of the LEGO Mixels Series 3 Glorp Corp Green Tribe and Purple Wiztastics Tribe, it’s time to talk about the last new tribe coming in the Series 3 LEGO Mixels (which, non-coincidentally, is also the final known LEGO Mixels tribe for 2014). While the other two new tribes in LEGO Mixels Series 3 have some rather “unnatural” themes (slimy boogers and supernatural magic), the theme for the LEGO Mixels Tan Tribe is a lot more down to earth. Coming Fall 2014–the spike and claw-themed LEGO Mixels Spikels Tribe sets!

LEGO Mixels Mesmo Series 3 41525 Packaging LEGO Mixels Purple Tribe

Yesterday I discussed the very gross LEGO Mixels Series 3 Green Glorp Corp Tribe, so today let’s discuss an upcoming tribe that I like quite a bit more (and which, thankfully, is not booger-related). There aren’t too many colors yet to not have their own tribe, so no one is surprised to see the LEGO Mixels Purple Tribe making their debut this summer.

But not only is this tribe the color of royalty (and plums), but they have one of the coolest themes: magic! Coming August 2014–the LEGO Mixels Series 3 Wiztastics!

Another new month has arrived, and as usual, with it comes a whole slew of LEGO news and events to look forward to in the following month! Yesterday I posted the July 2014 LEGO Store Calendar, breaking down all the festivities for next month’s unofficial LEGO TMNT Month!

LEGO Mixels Glurt 41519 Seres 3 Set Packaging

As of yesterday, LEGO Mixels Series 2 has now officially been released in all stores. And that means that the Mixels Series 2 LEGO sets are old news, and it’s time to look ahead to LEGO Mixels Series 3! Not to be outdone, LEGO Mixels Series 3 will include three all-new Mixels tribes of all-new colors (new to Mixels, not the world). And the LEGO Mixels Green Tribe just may be the weirdest and most random of them all, because as far as I can tell, the LEGO Green Mixels Glorp Corp figures might be… booger themed?!

July 2014 LEGO Store Calendar: Deals, Promos and Events!

July 2014 LEGO Store Calendar

LEGO has really spoiled us in recent months by having the following month’s LEGO Store Calendar available promptly on the first of each month. So I felt a silly twinge of loss and disappointment yesterday when I discovered that the new July 2014 LEGO Stores calendar was in fact not yet available.

Luckily, I didn’t have to suffer wannabe-grief for very long, as the LEGO Store July 2014 calendar has now appeared! And if you’re into TMNT, it’s time to get excited–July 2014 is the biggest month ever for LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the LEGO Store!
