November 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Continuing with our coverage of official images that have come out today, we now have the box art images of the second wave of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Constraction Buildable Figures. We first saw an image of all of them last month when they were published in the LEGO Club Magazine but it was a little hard to see what each one looked like besides the First Order Stormtrooper which we saw back in June. If you want to see the characters in other poses, head on over to Brickset.

There are now images for most of the sets including the “Ultimate” sets which features the major characters in the theme with their powered up weapons and accessories.

The Ultimate Guide to Collectible LEGO Sets, Identification and Price Guide Book Review

November 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve ever wondered what your LEGO sets are worth, then you’ve probably been on Brickpicker where you can see the values of pretty much every set on the secondary market. Our friends Ed and Jeff Maciorowski has recently released a new book called The Ultimate Guide to Collectible LEGO Sets, Identification and Price Guide by Krause Publications. It contains 250 pages and retails for $26.99.

In recent news, there have been many reports of LEGO sets being a better investment than gold and some people are jumping at the opportunity to make a quick buck or two. Many times, I’ve seen two distinct groups of LEGO fans, people who build and people who use LEGO as a business.

We’ve probably all seen what retired LEGO sets are worth on eBay or BrickLink if we’ve gotten into LEGO late. We know that prices for sets on the secondary markets gradually rise as time goes on. Since there is still pretty good demand for retired sets, this is where LEGO investors come in or as many people call them, resellers.

The Ultimate Guide to Collectible LEGO Sets can be seen as a good resource for newer investors to get started in the hobby because we’ve probably wondered what a certain set is worth at one point in time. I know that I have although I’ve never sold anything before. It tells you how to pick the right sets for investing and what sets to avoid. If you’re looking to buy retired sets for your own collection, this … Continue

LEGO 2015 Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) Now Available at Target

November 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 18 Comments

2015 Target LEGO Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077)

The 2015 LEGO Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) is now available for purchase online at Target. The minifigures that are included in the set are DC Comics Super Heroes Lightning Lad, Ninjago Kai, Legends of Chima Sir Fangar, and a City Scuba Diver. You can see the other two minifigures in my previous post from last year.

The set goes for $9.99 but you can get it for free when you purchase $50 of City, Ninjago, and Super Heroes sets. You can also get free shipping on all orders. It doesn’t look like there’s a limit on the Minifigure Box Sets (5004077) you can get. Also it says LEGO items are excluded, you can use the promo code TOYS at checkout to save $2 on it.

If you’re searching for it online, the item number is 49153007. The store DPCI number is 204-00-1716.

Thanks to Stephen for messaging this in.

Update: It looks like Target figured out their mistake and the TOYS promo code does not work at checkout anymore. Also, they are starting to ship the sets already as I have gotten a FedEx tracking number for my shipment.

LEGO 2016 Sets Showing Up at Toys R Us Stores

November 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I reported that some official images of the 2016 LEGO sets including City, Creator, and Technic have shown up on their servers and some posts have listed them for a December 1 release date. While I was at retail life today, a few readers emailed in and have told me that they saw some of the sets at their local Toys R Us stores. Not all TRU stores may have them available on the floor or for sale so your mileage may vary.

Additionally, they are also available for purchase online as well.

Thanks to Emil and Randy for emailing in.
