Another question that I get in multitude each and every day is “When are the LEGO 2015 sets coming out?” And that’s another question where the answer is always “Not Yet”. But this week, that answer has changed! Holiday shoppers hoping for something totally fresh and new to stick under the tree this year can rejoice, because LEGO has now made well over a dozen new LEGO sets available: The 2015 LEGO City, LEGO Technic and LEGO Creator sets are all now available for order online!

2014 has been a stupendous year for LEGO collectors, but the final month of the year has arrived, and that means just one thing–it’s time to look ahead to the January 2015 LEGO Store calendar!
And as big as this year has been it looks like LEGO wants to get 2015 off to a bang and make it even better–the LEGO Store January 2015 Calendar and all of its promos and events have now been revealed!

‘Twas the night before Thanksgiving (at least for us North American folks), and I expected things to be pretty quiet on the LEGO news front. But it seems that LEGO had other ideas! Or at least, LEGO Germany did! Because earlier today, the German LEGO website temporarily uploaded images from the first LEGO 2015 catalog–including the first gorgeous, hi-res photo of LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008! The characters in the set are exactly what we expected, but knowing their names and seeing their glory are two different things…

Though we are likely still several months away from LEGO officially announcing the 71009 LEGO Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures collection, we already confirmed the existence of this series via prototypes discovered overseas. While the sellers putting almost unquestionably-stolen items up for sale on Taobao are absolutely to be condemned, the prototype photos that they’ve uploaded are a good source of information, as now we know an additional five minifigures that will be part of the LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Series 2, including LEGO Comic Book Guy, Smithers and Professor Frink!

The second most frequently-asked question I’ve gotten from LEGO fans this fall (after “When will the LEGO Frozen set be available?”) is “Will the LEGO Rocket Raccoon minifigure exclusive be available in the United States?” My answer has always been a reassuring “Hang tight; he’ll be here soon.”
At least, it has been up until now, as this week my answer has changed to: “Start hitting your local stores! The LEGO Marvel Rocket Raccoon minifigure has now been released in the United States!”

He who hesitates is lost–and sometimes that applies doubly to LEGO collectors. Many collectors (myself included) still weren’t totally sold on the Mixels concept when LEGO Mixels Series 1 was in stores, which has led to a lot of fans who got on-board later on lacking the tribes from LEGO Mixels Series 1. As a result, the LEGO Mixels Series 1 sets are selling for roughly triple their original cost on the aftermarket. For those who can’t afford those prices, though, fear not–LEGO is going to make sure that you too can have LEGO Mixels Infernites representation in your collection, as the Infernites return for the Winter 2015 LEGO Mixels Series 4!

The absolute most controversial product that LEGO came out with in 2014–no question–was the LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Series 71005. Some LEGO fans cried foul about a LEGO Minifigure series composed of licensed characters, while others decried that the Simpsons aren’t appropriate for LEGO. But despite the controversy, the LEGO Simpsons were a hit. And now, it’s finally confirmed that 71009 LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 is coming in 2015!

It is absolutely unbelievable and mind-blowing to me that it’s almost been an entire year since the magnificent LEGO Parisian Restaurant modular building set was revealed, but facts are facts, are the date means one thing for the LEGO modular buildings series: it’s almost time for the 2015 LEGO Modular Building to be fully unveiled! We’ve got a few days until the grand reveal, but over the weekend, we got our first look at the LEGO Detective Agency 10246!

Last night I shined the spotlight on one of the two new tribes in LEGO Mixels Series 4: the Orbitronz.
But unlike the space-themed Orbitronz Mixels, the other new-for-2015 LEGO Mixels tribe doesn’t need a spotlight shined on it–or any other kind of light, for that matter–because it generates its own!
Coming in February 2015, it’s the first LEGO Mixels Tribe to feature glow-in-the-dark parts: the LEGO Mixels Glowies Tribe!

From the shifting original U.S. release date for the sets to the controversy over whether the sets would be available in physical stores this year or only online, the only thing certain about the United States release of the winter 2015 LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale sets has been uncertainty. But finally, we know for sure exactly when and where the sets will first be available–because all six 2015 LEGO Minecraft sets are now available for order online!
UPDATE 11/15: The LEGO Minecraft Winter 2015 sets are officially available today, and are now restocked online!

There’s not a speck of doubt in my mind as to which LEGO theme I underestimated the most in 2014–it was the new LEGO Mixels theme. I was extremely skeptical about the Mixels from the moment that they were revealed, but the oddball menagerie of cheap, colorful creatures won me over by the time the second series hit stores. And now, with LEGO Mixels Series 1 sets selling for triple their original price already, there’s no question that LEGO has a bonafide hit on their hands! And so, the surprise hit LEGO Mixels Series 4 will roll out in Winter 2015–including the all-new, space-themed LEGO Mixels Orbitronz Tribe sets!

When the LEGO Justice League vs. Bizarro League DVD set was revealed last weekend, I knew it would only be a short wait until we saw pre-orders open for the set. And thus, I’ve been staking out online retailers all week waiting for the special to go up for order.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long–the LEGO DC Super Heroes Justice League vs. Bizarro League set with Batzarro minifigure is now up for order at the discounted price of 30% Off and eligible for free shipping!

All good things must come to an end–and in this case, that thing coming to an end is my series of LEGO Star Wars 2015 articles. No, I haven’t given up–I’ve simply run out of sets to talk about (and you can find all the previous 2015 LEGO Star Wars previews here)!
But I’m getting ahead of myself, because there’s one last set to talk about–featured in Star Wars Episodes II: Attack of the Clones, it’s the new LEGO Star Wars Hailfire Droid 75085!

You know you’re a genuine comic book nerd when: an exclusive LEGO figure of the Bizarro Batman, Batzarro is announced, and you actually know who that character is.
LEGO is apparently planning to crank out LEGO DC Super Heroes products in 2015 like never before, and over the weekend, word broke about their next endeavor: an original animated LEGO Justice League movie! The LEGO DC Comics: Justice League vs. Bizarro League movie is coming to DVD/Blu-Ray in 2015, and it’s bringing along an exclusive LEGO Batzarro minifigure!
