Flurr LEGO Mixels 41511 Packaging Mixels Series 2 Summer 2014 Set

I admit it: I thought that the LEGO Mixels theme was going to be a total bomb. But as it turns out, I was wrong: LEGO Mixels Series 1 is a bonafide smash hit! The nine figures that make up LEGO Series 1 Mixels have sold out in many stores and are difficult to find at retail (although all of the Mixels are in-stock consistently at the online LEGO Store), and many collectors are jazzed-up and ready for LEGO Mixels Series 2! And those fans are in luck–LEGO Mixels Series 2 will be arriving in just two months, including the awesome Mixels Blue Frosticons sets!

31026 LEGO Creator Bike Shop and Cafe Box

I don’t usually talk a whole lot about the LEGO Creator theme here, as the mass-release LEGO Creator sets tend to not be very hyped or popular (in general). But every once in a while a LEGO Creator set comes along that you can instantly tell from the preview photos is going to make a huge splash and be super-popular with LEGO collectors. And as luck would have it, such a set is due out in stores in just a few months! The Summer 2014 LEGO Bike Shop and Cafe 31026 is on the way!

The LEGO Movie Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP 70816 Box

Ordinarily I don’t write two previews for the same upcoming LEGO set, but the set I’m discussing tonight isn’t just any LEGO set–it’s the LEGO set that has the best chance of becoming a cult classic of any set in memory! When The LEGO Movie shattered every analyst’s expectations and cruised to over four hundred million dollars at box offices across the world, there was one set that –everyone who saw the movie demanded. Fans cried out for a certain set, and in August 2014 it will arrive–The LEGO Movie Benny’s Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP 70816 set!

LEGO Marvel Knowhere Escape Mission 76020 Box LEGO Marvel Summer 2014

Marvel has now officially begun letting merchandising companies show off their Guardians of the Galaxy movie products, and that means that we’re finally able to get a good look at the sets that weren’t allowed to be photographed at the New York Toy Fair 2014 in February! First up, let’s take a gander at the Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO Marvel Knowhere Escape Mission 76020, which just may be the most-anticipated of the sets for two reasons–and those two reasons are “LEGO Rocket Raccoon and Groot”….

Summer 2014 LEGO Chima 70147 Sir Fangar's Ice Fortress Set

Earlier this week I discussed the first of two LEGO Legends of Chima Summer 2014 exclusive sets–Cragger’s Fire Striker 70135. While I really dug the two exclusive minifigures in that 2014 Chima set, I wasn’t bedazzled by the main vehicle component of the set. However, not only do I love the exclusive minifigures in this second LEGO Legends of Chima 2014 retailer exclusive set, but the set itself is one of my favorite Chima builds of the year! Coming this summer–LEGO Chima Sir Fangar’s Ice Fortress 70147!

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!

LEGO Stores May 2014 Calendar: Promos, Sales and Events!

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…

LEGO Chima Cragger's Fire Striker 70135 Box Summer 2014 Set Exclusive

Just when you thought you’d seen every one of the LEGO Legends of Chima Summer 2014 sets that LEGO had lined up, the LEGO Chima 2014 summer exclusives begin rolling in! And in this first case I mean “rolling in” quite literally, as it’s a wheeled vehicle that I’ll be giving the spotlight to!

Though the Crocodile Tribe is one of the first Chima Tribes to have a multitude of sets released, they got the short end of the stick in 2014. However, the Crocs are ready to strike back this summer with the LEGO Chima Cragger’s Fire Striker 70135 set!

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!

LEGO Simpsons Ralph Wiggum Minifigure with I Choo-Choo-Choose You Valentine's Day Card

I was legitimately beginning to wonder whether or not LEGO was just going to begin shipping the long-awaited LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 71005 this summer without actually showing us images of the figures first, but that silly thought has now been dispelled! This morning, LEGO finally officially revealed LEGO Simpsons Minifigures photos of all sixteen figures that make up the series. I had my doubts, but the figures look superb and some of the episode-specific accessories are dowright awesome…

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…?
