LEGO DC Super Heroes 2015 Brainiac Attack 76040 Box

When the 2015 LEGO DC Super Heroes sets’ images leaked out back in September, there was one straggler that was holding out on us. We knew the set’s name and contents from earlier materials, but photos of this LEGO DC Comics 2015 set managed to elude us for more than an additional month.

But today, the void in our hearts and the blank in our wish lists can be filled–the LEGO DC Super Heroes Brainiac Attack 76040 set (with Martian Manhunter and Supergirl minifigures!) has now finally been revealed!

LEGO Chima Frax' Phoenix Flyer 30264 Polybag Released

One of the big mysteries about the LEGO Legends of Chima 2014 sets lineup has been when and where (and if) the LEGO Chima Frax’ Phoenix Flyer 30264 set would be available in the United States. While the set was released internationally in the summer, US LEGO fans have been one Phoenix Tribe minifigure short for months. But finally, Christmas has come–literally! The 30264 LEGO Frax’ Phoenix Flyer polybag has now been released in the stocking stuffer section!

“Look… in the sky! It’s a plane…! No… it’s a car! No… it’s… a robot?!” Continuing along with our discussions of the 2015 LEGO Creator sets that should be hitting stores this winter, today we’ve got a bit of an oddity for the theme: a sci-fi themed set!

We’re all accustomed to the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 sets by now, but this winter 2015 set contains three different builds that are a little bit more varied than what we usually get: it’s the LEGO Creator Future Flyer 31034!

71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 Display Stand

There’s been a wealth of false rumors and misinformation circulating about LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008, so I’ve been staying silent on the subject until some verifiable proof came along to support claims about the series. Well, over the course of the last few days, that proof has finally arrived!

Thanks to a couple of minifigures shown in the UK LEGO Club Magazine, as well as a leaked photo of the display stand for the series, we can now confirm the authenticity of the actual 71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 set coming in winter 2015!

As we count down towards the new year, we’re also slowly filling in the gaps with the remaining LEGO 2015 sets that haven’t appeared yet! While we saw almost every LEGO Ninjago 2015 set last month, there was still a straggler hiding away. But not anymore–the LEGO Ninjago Jay’s Electro Mech 70754 set has now been revealed!

2015 LEGO Creator Toy & Grocery Shop 31036 Set Revealed!

31036 LEGO Creator Toy & Grocery Shop Winter 2015 Set Box

Earlier this year, LEGO released the delightful LEGO Bike Shop & Cafe set as part of the LEGO Creator 2014 sets wave. I really liked that set, as it give consumers a chance to buy modular buildings that are trimmed down and about half the cost of the super-expensive Modular Buildings such as the LEGO Parisian Restaurant. And in winter 2015, LEGO is expanding the block with another LEGO Creator Modular building: the LEGO Toy & Grocery Shop 31036 is joining the neighborhood!

31032 LEGO Creator Red Creatures Set Box

Earlier today I discussed one of the cutest LEGO sets of 2015–the LEGO Creator Rainforest Animals 31031 set. While that set is hands-down one of the most heartwarming LEGO sets coming out this winter, perhaps you’re not into cuddly creatures, and like your animals a little bit more… ferocious? If so, get psyched up, because LEGO has something in mind for you, too! If you can’t afford the set with LEGO Smaug, you’ll have a chance for another red, fire-breathing LEGO Dragon this winter in the LEGO Red Creatures 31032 set!

LEGO 31031 Rainforest Animals 2015 Set

Despite the fact that there have been about a million (okay, two million) leaks of the upcoming LEGO 2015 sets and their images, there are still some surprises to be had! Such is the case this week, as several of the up-until-now unrevealed LEGO Creator sets made a grand debut, arriving at retail stores before images of the sets even had a chance to turn up online! First up, we’ll take a look at my favorite LEGO Creator 2015 set: LEGO Rainforest Animals 31031!

2015 LEGO Star Wars AAT 75080 Box

Given the sheer amount of articles I’ve already written previewing the LEGO Star Wars Winter 2015 sets, I wouldn’t blame anyone who thought I’d already talked about them. But even so, there’s still a couple left to discuss! Moreover, they’re more sets from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, including a movie-based vehicle we haven’t seen since in almost 15 years–the LEGO Star Wars AAT 75080 cruises into battle this winter!

LEGO Minecraft Fall 2014 Minifigures Sets Release Date Announced!

Posted on by
LEGO Minecraft The First Night 21115 Box 2014 Set

One of the most anticipated theme extensions of 2014 is the fall expansion of the LEGO Minecraft theme. While the Minecraft theme was previously limited to micro-scale sets with tiny micro-figures, the line is shifting to the more traditional LEGO style to close out 2014. While details about the exact release date for the new Minecraft LEGO sets in the United States has been murky until now, the online LEGO Shop has now cleared things up by announcing an online release date for the theme. But if you’re looking to buy the LEGO Minecraft minifigure-scale sets in stores, the crystal ball is still looking rather murky…

In 2015, after having the spotlight shone brightly on them for the past several years, the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy movies will finally be getting a bit of a break from LEGO. While we’ve had a plethora of LEGO Star Wars sets based on the prequel trilogy movies in the last few years, encompassing almost every major vehicle seen in the Star Wars Episodes I-III. But while the prequels are being mostly phased out next year, there are a few stragglers still on the way–including the Battle Droid packed LEGO Star Wars Battle Droid Troop Carrier 75086!

2015 LEGO Star Wars Imperial Troop Transport 75078 Set Box

Let’s face it–not every vehicle in the Star Wars universe is entirely realistic. But there are some Star Wars vehicles that go beyond being a bit far-fetched to all-out ludicrous. One of these existed outside continuity for over 30 years as a Kenner toy: the Imperial Troop Transport. Astonishing everyone, Pablo Hidalgo announced at NYCC 2013 the Imperial Troop Transport would be entering the official canon as part of Rebels. And in 2015, it enters the LEGO world: it’s the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Troop Transport 75078!

LEGO Star Wars Shadow Troopers 75079 Set Box

2014 was a tough year for the Star Wars Expanded Universe, what with Disney wiping virtually ever Star Wars book and video game ever made out of official Star Wars continuity. That move broke a lot of hearts and left a lot of characters out of a job in the Star Wars Universe. But LEGO is coming to the rescue as the new best friend of out-of-continuity characters in 2015, with a variety of Star Wars Expanded Universe sets. Continuing on in our look at the Winter 2015 LEGO Star Wars sets, today we’ve got the 75079 LEGO Star Wars Shadow Troopers set!

Earlier today I talked about one of the two LEGO Clone Wars-specific sets coming to stores in January 2015–the LEGO Star Wars Geonosis Troopers 75089. But the Republic is mighty and well-manned, so the Geonosis Troopers minifigures won’t be coming alone! Fans have been asking for another crack at the LEGO Senate Commando minifigures for years, and they’ll get it soon: the LEGO Star Wars Senate Commando Troopers 75088 set charges into battle in winter 2015!
