LEGO really did try valiantly to keep the majority of the LEGO Scooby-Doo sets under wraps until the 2015 New York Toy Fair, but alas–it was not to be. But while I initially only got to talk about a small, low-quality image, I had the opportunity to go up-close and take a ton of hi-res photos of the LEGO Scooby-Doo Haunted Lighthouse 75903 set!

Just when I thought it was safe to travel back into the wilderness, an unexpected pair of clever girls have struck!
I thought that I had covered all of the LEGO Jurassic World sets coming to stores this summer, but I was mistaken–there’s a sixth and final set on the way: the retailer exclusive LEGO Raptor Escape 75920 has now appeared! And it’s come packing the final two members of the Raptor Squad: Echo and Charlie!

LEGO Legends of Chima is ending this summer, but before the toy line goes on (perhaps permanent) hiatus, LEGO has one more big Chima set in store for collectors!
Headlining the Chima Summer 2015 sets, it’s the 70227 King Crominus’ Rescue! You will believe a giant crocodile can fly!

I’m feeling like I could use a little bit of holiday cheer this week (no, St. Patrick’s Day does not count), so I think it’s time to look way ahead to the holiday season once again and look at the second of three 2015 LEGO Advent Calendars. Last month I discussed the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar, and this time it’s the classic LEGO City 2015 Advent Calendar 60099!

Tonight I was going through my unused cache of photos from the LEGO Booth at New York Toy Fair 2015, and was totally stunned by the sheer number of sets I still haven’t talked about, despite the dozens of articles I’ve already written based off the reveals from the event!
And thus, I decided it was time to knock out another half-dozen sets right away by talking about this summer’s new LEGO Ninjago Summer 2015 sets sub-line: the LEGO Ninjago Airjitzu Flyer sets!

Last night I talked about the only Mixels figures coming this summer: LEGO Mixels Series 5. But that’s not the end of Mixels toys for this year! We don’t usually get new sets in mid-fall, but this time we are.
Coming in October 2015, it’s the final known series of Mixels: LEGO Mixels Series 6! And not only will the series give us another pair of all-new tribes, but the grossest Mixels tribe is also back for another go: the second trio of members of the Mixels Glorp Corp tribe!

One theme that had all of its new upcoming 2015 sets debuted at the New York Toy Fair 2015 that I haven’t had a chance to talk about yet at all is one of my favorite niche themes: the Summer 2015 LEGO Mixels sets! We’ll have two more series of Mixels before the end of the year, with the next coming in June 2015!
And lest you be worried about the new sets just being rehashes of past Mixel ideas, have no fear: LEGO Mixels Series 5 will include two totally-new Mixels tribes!

Today is a big day for LEGO Jurassic Park fans! Not only did the first real LEGO Jurassic World video game gameplay trailer hit the internet today (and it looks good), but it’s also the day I’ll be wrapping up my New York Toy Fair 2015 LEGO Jurassic World coverage with all of my remaining hi-res photos of the final set that was revealed at the event last month.
I saved the best, largest and most expensive set for last: the LEGO Jurassic World Indominus Rex Breakout 75919!

Continuing on with my looks at the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World sets (which will be here in under a month and a half!), today I’m looking at the smallest Jurassic World set, which also happens to be unique amongst all of its brethren. Why? Because while it does include a large flying reptile, it doesn’t contain a (true) dinosaur at all–the LEGO Pteranodon Capture 75915!

After the LEGO Simpsons hysteria yesterday and checking out all the new human minifigures and the convenient store that they hang out in, let’s switch gears and talk about a set with a dinosaur that would like to eat all those LEGO Simpsons minifigures in the Kwik-E-Mart! Coming this May and starring one of the most recognizable Jurassic Park dinosaurs–it’s the LEGO Jurassic World Dilophosaurus Ambush 75916 set!

Overnight, images leaked out earlier than expected of the 71016 LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart set. That was a minor surprise, as we basically knew we’d be seeing the Kwik-E-Mart in all its Squishee glory at some point this month. But what we didn’t know was that we’d also be seeing the LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 blind bag figures revealed on the very same day! Coming this spring: LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 71009–with Smithers, Professor Frink and Comic Book Guy!

Yesterday I talked about the grand (and expensive) centerpiece of the 2015 LEGO Space sets–the 60080 LEGO Spaceport.
But what’s a centerpiece without a solid assortment of items to put around it, right? Luckily, LEGO has three way cool LEGO Space Summer 2015 sets lined up that I got to photograph in person at the New York Toy Fair 2015 last month…

While we’ve had plenty of science fiction themes and fantasy space ships over the past few years, it’s been a while since we got a dose of good old-fashioned realistic Space sets. But this summer, LEGO is giving aspiring astronauts (and those who just aspire to build astronauts) the royal treatment with a whole range of Summer 2015 LEGO Space sets! And the headliner of the theme debuted at New York Toy Fair 2015– the large and impressive LEGO Spaceport 60080!

One of the most hyped new themes being released this year that made its official debut at the New York Toy Fair 2015 last month was LEGO Jurassic World. I haven’t had a chance to delve into discussing those sets until now, but what better place than with the (former?) king of the dinosaurs?
Coming to stores this spring: it’s the LEGO Jurassic World T-Rex Tracker 75918 set!
