The LEGO Movie 2 Experience at LEGOLAND California

A week ago, LEGOLAND California opened up The LEGO Movie 2 Experience for families to check out. It is basically a replica of the actual LEGO “set” that was used in a few scenes for TLM2, similar to what LEGOLAND has for the first movie. In addition, if you go there is weekend, February 23-24, LEGOLAND will also be doing The LEGO Movie Days which are more activities to do. I’ll be heading out on Saturday so expect some close up images of The LEGO Movie 2 Experience shortly after. Check out the press release that was sent to us.

LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary New Edition Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary New Edition

Amazon has updated their listing for the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: New Edition to show an image of the exclusive minifigure that will be coming with it. The image now shows Finn in a Bacta Suit which is seen in Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. This version of Finn is not in any set so completionists will want to get this book for the minifig, unless you just get it by itself on the secondary market. LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: New Edition is slated to come out this April but you can pre-order it now at a 33% discount.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it. I saw it earlier today but I was swamped at work so I couldn’t post about it.

Chris McVeigh Joins the LEGO Creator Expert and Architecture Teams

Even though it’s still early morning, here’s your LEGO feel good story of the day. If you’ve been in the LEGO community on social media the past few years, you may have heard the name Chris McVeigh, aka PowerPig, float around. One of his most popular builds are the Brick Sketches of various characters that have been featured by LEGO before. Yesterday, he has announced that he has been hired on to the LEGO Creator Expert and Architecture teams and will begin work starting in March. This just goes to show that LEGO still continues to take notice of fan creations and you have a chance to get hired on if you work hard enough. I can’t wait to see what Chris has in store for us in the near future.

More LEGO Hidden Side Set Images from New York Toy Fair 2019

LEGO Hidden Side Logo

The 2019 New York Toy Fair is still going on but as far as the LEGO stuff is concerned, they only had a limited amount of things displayed. The main thing was the new LEGO Hidden Side theme that will be coming out later this year. If you didn’t know, LEGO Hidden Side uses an augmented reality system to bring the bricks to life. The boxes of the sets were on display but they do have the confidential watermark on them and that’s why I’ve elected not to post them. I would like to extend a thank you to Dan for helping us out on getting these images.

Comparing the LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316) to Submitted Project

LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316)

The LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316) was officially announced yesterday and there has been a divide among fans of how the set came out. A few of you have asked me to compare the original project to the one that will be coming out later this week. I did have a clear look at the project when I was at Philly Brick Fest last year and here are my thoughts.

LEGO Ideas The Flintstones

As with other LEGO Ideas sets, there are differences between the official set and the projects as LEGO has the final say on what they want in the set. One of the things I’ve noticed is that the official set has more muted colors compared to the project which had very vibrant colors as some of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons had. The result is somewhat bland especially on the inside of the house.

LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316)

The dirt path and the Welcome to Bedrock sign has been completely omitted which helped reduce the parts count. Some other things that were excluded were some of the characters such as Bamm-Bamm, Pebbles, and Dino. I’m not sure why they were left out but considering the Big Bang Theory (21302) set had seven minifigures at a lower price point, adding two, possibly three more would have been nice. Perhaps they could be in a future set? Probably not.

Speaking of the minifigures, Barney has been given regular legs and is the same height as Fred even though the cartoon, he was considerably shorter. I think using the new bendable short legs from … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Podracer – 20th Anniversary Edition (30461) Polybag Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Podracer - 20th Anniversary Edition (30461)

We’ve already seen images and details of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets that will be coming out later this year. At the New York Toy Fair, LEGO has showed off an additional set in the form of a polybag. It is the Podracer (30461) which has 58 pieces and it pays homage to Anakin’s podracer and is a smaller counterpart to the 75258 version. There’s no word yet on its availability at this time but I assume it’ll be part of a promotion when the 20th Anniversary Edition sets are released.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2018 (5005256) Promotion Coming in March

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2018 (5005256)

It’s a busy news day today and this piece of news is no exception even if it’s not New York Toy Fair related. I have just received confirmation that the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2019 (5005256) will indeed be coming to the United States next month. It will be a gift-with-purchase promotion at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from March 1-7 with purchases of $75 or more of Marvel products. I’m assuming to coincide with the release of the Avengers: Endgame sets since some stores overseas have already started selling them. So for those who have been waiting to complete the Bricktober 2018 sets, you can rest assured that we don’t have to resort to the secondary market to get it. Thanks to my close contact for the heads up!

Update: I’ve been told that it is with any LEGO purchase of $75 or more, not just on Marvel sets so that makes it even easier!

LEGO Wins Four Toy of the Year 2019 Awards

Back in November of last year, the nominees for the 2019 Toy of the Year awards were announced and LEGO was nominated for a few categories. The awards show was yesterday and I’m happy to report that LEGO has won in four of the seven categories they were in. It seemed that many of the voters enjoyed the return of the LEGO Harry Potter line as the theme took home three awards. Another great for LEGO and it looks like they’re already making a run for next year’s awards with the newly announced LEGO Hidden Side theme.

LEGO Ninjago March of the Oni Teaser Images

LEGO Ninjago March of the Oni

The 100th episode of LEGO Ninjago – Master of Spinjitzu is coming soon and LEGO has teased some ominous images of what we could be expecting in the upcoming season. In the main image, it shows March of the Oni which is the story arc name and the caption states, “Endings will always come…all we can do is fight to make them good ones.” Could this mean the end of LEGO Ninjago in its current form? The captions on the character images also show that something bad could be happening to the ninjas.

We already know that the Hageman Brothers have left the series as writers and Bragi Schut has taken the reigns. What do you think will happen with LEGO Ninjago in the March of the Oni?

Play as your favorite film characters from the first LEGO Movie. The character pack includes Young Vitruvius and the unsuspecting Emmet in his pajamas. Kragle-loving Lord Business is also in the pack along with other memorable characters Shakespeare, Cleopatra, and Classic Metal Beard.

The LEGO Movie 2 Video Game is set to be released on February 26 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam while the Nintendo Switch version comes out on March 26. The only pre-order bonus I know of is the Star-Stuck Emmet (30620) when you pre-order from GameStop.

The LEGO Movie 2 Estimated to Open Lower Than Expected

The LEGO Movie 2 has been promoted heavily the past few months and it opens this weekend but the estimated earnings may fall short of what Warner Bros. was expecting. Variety is reporting that TLM2 will debut with an estimated $31 million which will be the third worst out of the LEGO movies that have been released in theaters so far. Warner Bros. estimated that the movie will debut around $50 million this weekend but forecasts fell short with it only taking in $8.5 million on Friday.

One of the reasons why The LEGO Movie 2 opened lower than estimated is because of the crazy weather that the US is having right now. Some places are still raining and snowing and people would rather stay home than risk going out in that kind of weather.

Another reason could be that people maybe burned out of LEGO movies. This is the fourth movie in five years which included a break in 2018 but it’s still quite a few in a short amount of time.

I’ve heard mixed reviews of TLM2 but more positive than negatives. The most common one is that it’s a good movie but not at good as the first one which is typical for movies with sequels. I’ll be checking it out again tomorrow to see if there’s anything I missed the first time around.

LEGO xtra LEGO Brick Stickers (853921) Official Images

LEGO xtra LEGO Brick Stickers (853921)

There’s something interesting that has showed up on LEGO’s servers this morning. It is for the LEGO xtra theme and they are the LEGO Brick Stickers (853921). There are five sheets of random stickers that fit with a City layout along with 17 pieces for the signs and billboards to apply them to. Most fans detest stickers on sets but these LEGO Brick Stickers look pretty good and they do enhance the play experience. I assume they will be available in March at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Benny & Sweet Mayhem Target REDcard Exclusives Now Available

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Benny (41636)

Some new The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz sets are now available online at Target, more specifically, Benny (41636) and Sweet Mayhem (41637). Both of them are $9.99 and they are Target REDcard exclusives which means that you will need to have registered your REDcard to be able to purchase them. The product descriptions don’t list them as limited like with Emmet and Wyldstyle over at Walmart so there might be more than 5,000 of these in stock. Also them being Target REDcard exclusives will make the stock go slower as not everyone is signed up for the card. They have also limited the sets to two per person. Thanks to everyone who spammed me about it. I was at work, sorry.

Update: Both Benny and Sweet Mayhem are now out of stock online. I’m not sure how many were originally available but it seemed that there were less than 5,000 of each. I don’t know if Target will be restocking them online at a later date.

The LEGO Movie 2 Certified Fresh

The LEGO Movie 2 Certified Fresh

Rotten Tomatoes has announced that The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part has been Certified Fresh on their Tomatometer. With a current rating of 83%, it ranks third of all the LEGO movies that have been released so far trailing The LEGO Movie (95%) and The LEGO Batman Movie (90%). Among the critics, there were 102 that gave it a Fresh rating while 21 gave it a Rotten rating. Most people don’t care about critic reviews as they would rather experience the movie themselves and make their decisions after. How many of you are going to see it this weekend and how many are seeing it for a second time after the early screening last week?

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Out of Stock Online

A few days ago, I reported that a couple of The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz sets were available for purchase online at Walmart. These two limited edition BrickHeadz include Emmet (41634) and Wyldstyle (41635) and it was stated that they were limited to 5,000. As of this post, they are both out of stock online but I’ve seen some stock flicker in and out for them earlier today. I’ve heard stores will not be getting them as these are online exclusive but who knows if some of them will suddenly show up on the shelves.

At this point, I’m not sure if Walmart will restock or not. I suggest signing up for their in-stock alert in case they do come back. I also do not know if it will be available on LEGO Shop@Home in the near future as all 5,000 of each BrickHeadz could be allocated to Walmart. Now that people know that these sets are limited, they are pretty much taking advantage of that knowledge on the secondary market. I’m still waiting to see when Sweet Mayhem (41637) will show up at Target. The retailer for Benny (41636) is still unknown at this time.

I suggest calling your nearest store to see if they are taking sign ups or if it’s first come, first served.

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet (41634) BrickHeadz Limted Edition Sticker First Look

Yesterday I reported that The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz sets have started to show up online at Walmart and we now have a look at the physical box. Over on Reddit, a user has managed to get their copy of Emmet (41634) and we get to see the limited edition sticker on the corner of the box. Again the four TLM2 BrickHeadz are limited to only 5,000 copies so they are somewhat rare so get them before they go out of stock. Emmet along with Wyldstyle (41635) are Walmart exclusive and early reports are that Sweet Mayhem (41637) is going to be at Target. I’m not sure where Benny (41636) will end up. Thanks to mc_survival_man for the heads up!

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Walmart Exclusives Available for Purchase

LEGO BrickHeadz The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet (41634)

A few days ago, the building instructions for the LEGO BrickHeadz The LEGO Movie 2 sets became available online and it looks like a couple of the sets are now available for purchase at Walmart. Currently, online Emmet (41634) and Wyldstyle (41635) are available and they are listed as Walmart.com exclusives. In addition, the product description for Wyldstyle lists the sets as individually numbered 1 out of 5,000 units. This is very intersting because, as far as I know, there haven’t been any retail set being numbered but I could be wrong. If you’ve thought about getting The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz but wanted to hold off, I suggest not doing that because there is a limited quantity on them. Both Emmet and Wyldstyle are $14.99 each but you can do in-store pickup to save on shipping.

The LEGO Movie 2 Signed Minifigures Given Out Yesterday at LEGO Brand Stores

Here’s a very interesting promotion item that only a handful of random LEGO Brand Stores were giving out yesterday to promote The LEGO Movie 2. Over on Reddit, there’s an image of a signed Will Arnett LEGO Batman minifigure and according to the thread, nine stores across the nation were giving out signed minifigures for people who made the first The LEGO Movie 2 purchase of the day. This particular one was from the LEGO Store at Paramus, NJ. I’m not sure if the minifigures are all of Will Arnett or a variety of the voice actors but I think this a really cool promotion for the movie since people didn’t know about it and people got it as a surprise that will probably be their highlight of the year. If you got one of these signed minifigs, let us in the comments below.

Update: It looks like the minifigures are from all the voice actors as there is a Tiffany Haddish Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi one from Twitter.

There characters that are included in the sets are Emmet (41634), Wyldstyle (41635), Benny (41636), and Sweet Mayhem. There’s no word on when they will be available on Shop@Home but I believe they will come out in March if they do get released. One of the more cooler parts from these sets is the printed 1×4 brick of the Classic Space logo.

If you remember back of October of last year, I reported that the LEGO BrickHeadz was rumored to be ending. I should clarify that the licensed BrickHeadz would be done however LEGO will still produce the in-house sets like the Seasonal ones and for their own IPs.

LEGO Monthly Mini Build Events Rumored to be Ending in March

LEGO Monthly Mini Build 2019

If you’ve been enjoying doing the LEGO VIP Monthly Mini Builds, you only have a few months left to do them. I’ve heard from a few different sources that the last event will be in March. Even though LEGO has a list going for the 2019 builds, it seems that the page will not be filled up after March.

The LEGO Monthly Mini Builds have been going since 2009 and it was extremely popular at its peak a few years ago. It may seem that attendance has dropped ever since registration was required starting in 2016 and that could be a reason why LEGO will be ending it. Before the change, it was on a first come, first served system where families lined up in front of the stores and wait their turn. The registration helped ease the congestion at the malls but it also required parents to remember to sign their kids up on a certain day which is an extra step that some didn’t want to take.

LEGO DUPLO Celebrates 50 Years

LEGO DUPLO 50th Anniversary

Today LEGO celebrates the 50th anniversary of the LEGO DUPLO line. A majority of you may have played with DUPLO while growing up and it’s an accomplishment that this theme has stood the test of time. LEGO has sent over a press release for the 50th anniversary of LEGO DUPLO has well as a couple of infographics about theme which you can check out below.

50 Years Young

Celebrating half a century of big building fun with LEGO®DUPLO®

BILLUND, January 29, 2019:Today we mark 50 years since theLEGO Group unveiled its inaugural large brick for small hands (yes that would be 1969) – the same year the first person set foot on the moon. You can decide which was the bigger moment for mankind (although could Apollo 11 be dismantled and rebuilt into a racing car?) but, either way, below are some highlightsfromhalf a century of big building fun.

Ludamus! A Latin origin
Did you know the nameDUPLO®derives from the Latin word ‘duplex’meaning double? The name first featured on two LEGO® DUPLO sets launched in 1969 – set no. 510 and no. 511 if you like specifics.

And did you know that LEGODUPLO bricks are twice the size of classic LEGO bricks on all dimensions? This is so all our bricks fit into the LEGO System in Play,but finding this 2:1 scale solution was no easy task.We tried both 4:1 and 3:1 scale before Godtfred Kirk Christiansen – second generation LEGO Group owner -in 1968 came up with the idea (during his sleep!) to hollow the

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) Polybag Review

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet's 'Piece' Offering (30340)

If you went to the early screening of The LEGO Movie 2 yesterday, some theaters gave out a polybag along with your purchase which was Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340). It has 44 pieces and if you didn’t get one, they are available for purchase at Target and Walmart.

The Emmet minifigure shows him with his tattered uniform and he has a double-sided head with a happy expression on one side and an angry look on the other. This version of Emmet is also in Emmet and Benny’s ‘Build and Fix Workshop’ (70821).

The build is very simple and the result is of a heart. I didn’t go see the screening as I had a prior engagement before it was announced so I have no idea what the heart represents but I do have an idea.

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet's 'Piece' Offering (30340)

The Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) polybag isn’t as cool as the other polybags for The LEGO Movie 2 but if you’re a collector and/or a completionist, you’ll probably want to pick this one up as well. Again, this polybag is also available at Walmart at the LEGO section and at Target either at the Valentine’s section or at the checkout lanes and is priced at $3.99.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186) Promotion Starting Soon

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186)

Chinese New Year is only two weeks away and to celebrate the event, LEGO will be releasing the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186) set in a few days. From what I’m hearing, the promotion will be starting on January 28 at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home and you can get it for free with purchases of $88 or more. This will be the fifth of the zodiac animals that have been released in this style and the sixth overall if you count the Year of the Snake (10250). We didn’t know the release of this set beforehand because LEGO doesn’t promote their gift-with-purchase items on the store calendars anymore so it’s hard to plan your purchases.

Those characters include Leia Organa (75243), Luke Skywalker (75258), Lando Calrissian (75259), Darth Vader (75261) and Han Solo (75262). I’m not sure how those characters relate to the sets as they don’t even correspond to the sets.

None of the parts of exclusive but there are some very rare parts including the lime green 2×2 wing plates as those are only available with Rex’s Rexplorer! (70835).

The LEGO Movie 2 Trading Cards (5005775) and Awesome Collector Album (5005777) Review

The LEGO Movie 2 Trading Cards (5005775) and Awesome Collector Album (5005777)

From now until February 24, there’s a promotion going on at LEGO Shop@Home for some The LEGO Movie 2 Trading Cards (5007557). With a purchase of $15, you can get one pack or with a purchase of 40, you can get three packs. Also if you’re a VIP member, you can also get the Awesome Collector Album (5005777) with a purchase of $15, limit one per VIP. I made a purchase when the promotional period started so let’s take a look at what I got.

The Awesome Collector Album comes in a sealable bag so you can safely store it away if you’re not looking at it. The front cover of the album shows Rex, Emmet, Lucy, and Sweet Mayhem and the back shows the 20 sets that have been released so far for TLM2.

The LEGO Movie 2 Trading Cards (5005775) and Awesome Collector Album (5005777)

The LEGO Movie 2 Trading Cards (5005775) and Awesome Collector Album (5005777)

Inside the Album, we get the exclusive Batman #1 red foil card that is included with every album. It is slotted inside the page and there’s a space below it showing which character it is. There are 36 cards to collect and each one has their own spot in the album. I will say that the openings for the cards are a bit small so you’ll have to bend the card slightly to slide it in.

One of the play features with The Rexcelsior is the 6-missile rapid blast function. We first saw the set The LEGO Movie 2: The Awesomest, Most Amazing, Most Epic Movie Guide and there was no doubt that we would be seeing this set coming in the summer.

The LEGO Movie 2 Fabuland Cameo

The LEGO Movie 2 Teaser

As we know by now, The LEGO Movie 2 will be full of cameos with the latest one being US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg which was revealed yesterday. Warner Bros. dropped another teaser spot today showing that scene and at the end, we get a look at some new characters including one that is a theme favorite of Just2Good, Fabuland. If you’re not familiar with Fabuland, it was a theme that started in 1979 and ran throughout the 1980s and it encouraged storytelling using anthropomorphic animal characters.

As you can see from the teaser video below, it shows a bunch of characters dancing and the one on the left is one of the Bulldogs from the theme. His appearance in the movie could suggest that he may appear in a summer wave set for The LEGO Movie 2 and it would be pretty cool to see that.

On a side note, we also get to see a Fox Suit Girl which could be a possible LEGO minifigure as well.

LEGO at the 2019 London Toy Fair

The 2019 London Toy Fair kicks off on Tuesday and it looks like LEGO will be back this year to show off some of their lineups for this year. According to the exhibit floor map, they won’t be on the floor itself with the other exhibitors but they have their own space in the Olympia Room which is tucked away on one side of the show floor. This may suggest that LEGO has a lot to show off or it’ll mostly be for The LEGO Movie 2 sets which there are a lot of.

If you remember from last year, LEGO did not attend the event and there was no reasoning given for it. It could be that the company was focusing on turning the company around after their financial results weren’t as encouraging as they expected for the year before. Anyways, I’m not sure if any LEGO fansites were invited to attend this year’s Toy Fair or if it’s just for retailers like with 2017 but hopefully there are some details that come out of it.

The LEGO Movie 2 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cameo Revealed

More details of The LEGO Movie 2 are coming out as we get closer to the premiere and today’s reveal is probably the most strangest one so far. USA Today has reported that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be appearing in the movie and will play a part of Finn’s sister’s Systar System. When director Mike Mitchell was asked ‘Who’s the last person you would think to see in a Lego film as a minifig?,’ he answered Ginsburg who will be shown in a new trailer coming out tomorrow.

Just a warning, I don’t want any politics in the comments. I read every comment and will be deleting any that come in.

Chevy Announces Full-Sized LEGO 2019 Chevy Silverado

LEGO 2019 Chevy Silverado

Yesterday, LEGO teased a big reveal today and it has been announced at the North American International Auto Show that Chevrolet has teamed up with LEGO to create a full-sized LEGO 2019 Chevy Silverado. It took more than 2,000 hours to plan and build it using 334,544 pieces and it also has working lights. What’s even more exciting is that it will be making an appearance in The LEGO Movie 2. Check out the press release below.

DETROIT — Chevrolet and students from the Oxford Community School’s FIRST LEGO® League and Detroit’s Ralph Waldo Emerson Elementary’s A World in Motion Program unveiled the first-ever full-size LEGO® Silverado today at the North American International Auto Show just ahead of the show opening to the public. The model is an exact life-size replica of the all-new 2019 Silverado 1500 LT Trail Boss, and it is the first full-size Chevy vehicle built entirely of LEGO bricks.

The LEGO Silverado continues the partnership between Chevy and Warner Bros. Pictures that began in 2017 with “The LEGO Batman Movie” and the LEGO Batmobile from Chevy. This partnership builds on the Silverado marketing efforts that launched earlier this month.

A custom mini-build of the Silverado High Country will make an appearance in the new big-screen animated adventure “The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part” when it debuts in theaters on Feb. 8. In this fun and action-packed sequel, the heroes of “The LEGO Movie” reunite to save their beloved city from a new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from space.

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Reviews – A Teaser of Cameos?

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet's Reviews Gremlins

Warner Bros. has started a new online campaign for The LEGO Movie 2 called Emmet’s Reviews in which he does a super quick review on previous Warner Bros. movies. Some of the movies that Emmet reviews are Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Lord of the Rings, Wonder Woman, Batman, The Goonies, and Wizard of Oz.

Could these reviews be a teaser for what we could see in The LEGO Movie 2 in terms of cameos? We already know Batman is in it and Gal Gadot will be voicing Wonder Woman. The four main characters from The Wizard of Oz will also be in the movie since there are some Collectible Minifigures of them coming out soon. The only things we aren’t unsure of are Gremlins, Beetlejuice, LOTR, and The Goonies, however, note that all of them have been released in minifigure form. What’s even more interesting is that all of the franchises have been in LEGO Dimensions. Is The LEGO Movie 2 also a way to pay homage to the game as well?

LEGO Teases “A Big Reveal” for Tomorrow on Instagram

LEGO Instagram Story Teaser Reveal

If you follow LEGO on Instagram, you may have seen that they did teaser on their Instagram Story for some sort of reveal tomorrow. The caption says “A *Big* Reveal! ” with the countdown time set for tomorrow morning. I literally don’t know what this reveal is about and it’s the first time I’ve heard about it. Usually recognized LEGO fan media sites are informed early about their upcoming product reveals but I haven’t gotten anything about whatever this teaser is about. My guess is it will be the review results of the LEGO Ideas Second 2018 projects since they did the announcement for the Second 2017 results around the same time last year. What do you guys think this reveal will be? Sound off in the comments below.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Teaser Trailers and Rumored LEGO Sets

The teaser trailers for Spider-Man: Far From Home dropped a short time ago and we got to see some very interesting things, more importantly, the characters. Some of the new villains include Sandman, Molten Man, and Hydro-Man. Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio is also in the movie but it’s hard to tell if he’s a villain or a faux hero at this time. We also got to see Stealth Suit Spider-Man as well as Nick Fury.

As far as the LEGO sets are concerned, there are three rumored sets that will be coming out this summer and they are:

Molten Man’s Battle (76128)
Hydro-Man’s Attack (76129)
Stark’s Plane and Drone Attack (76130)

I’m not sure if those are the real names of the sets or just loose translations from a foreign retailer.

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) Box Distribution Revealed

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023)

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) will be released in a few weeks or earlier depending on if the retailer decides to put them out ahead of time. I’ve been asked many times so far of the box distribution of the minifigures and it has been confirmed by Promobricks that there will be three complete sets in a box.

What’s even more interesting is that each row of 20 is a complete set of minifigures. If that’s the case, there’s not much randomness to them and a brand new box will guarantee you a set without even feeling for them. I’m not sure if LEGO will change that later on but I doubt that it will at this point. If you do find a box in the wild, let us know if that’s the case.

LEGO Star Wars Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212) Amazon Sale

If you’ve been holding out for a sale on the LEGO Star Wars Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212), Amazon currently has it on sale for $118.67. The only catch is that it uses Frustration-Free Packaging. Most of the time, it means that Amazon ships it in bigger box but sometimes they also might just slap the shipping label right on the LEGO box but at about 30% off, I say it’s well worth it. As of this writing, there’s also two left in stock of the standard packaging at 21% off.

BrickMerge.de has the listed the official images of the next LEGO Seasonal BrickHeadz set with the Chick (40350). The set is for Easter and it will be available starting in March for $9.99 at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. I do prefer the look of this BrickHeadz than to the Easter Chick from a few years ago. After this one, there is only two more Seasonal BrickHeadz with the Halloween Ghost (40351) and Christmas Reindeer, Elf, and Elfie (40353).

Last Day for LEGO “Choose Your Gift” Promotion

Today is the last day to get your orders in for the “Choose Your Gift” promotion on LEGO Shop@Home. With a $25 purchase, you can either choose between the LEGO City Fire ATV (30361) or LEGO Friends Club House Pod (5005236). Use code ATV1 or POD 1 at checkout to add the polybags to your cart. I’m not sure if LEGO will continue using this type of promotion in the future so this month was a good test to see if it was successful or not.

The LEGO Movie 2 Replacement Stickers for Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship

The LEGO Movie 2 Sticker Roll

Here’s a little obscure item that you may not have known about for The LEGO Movie 2. If you have Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship (70830), you would know that the ship is able to dispense some stickers but what happens when you run out? Target is currently selling a replacement sticker roll for it for $2.99 each. Each roll comes with 36 stickers and it looks like it’s the same ones that you get with the set. Of course you don’t have to use it with Sweet Mayhem’s Starship but it’s nice to know there’s some replacement stickers readily available in case you do run out.

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Pack Surfaces Online

The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Pack

The LEGO Movie 2 has lots of products for their lineup and a new one has surfaced online in Hong Kong with The LEGO Movie 2 Minifigure Pack. The set includes Emmet along with a female character from Apocalypseburg as well as two Sewer Babies. There’s also some parts for an unknown build. The price is HKD129 so I assume it’ll be around $14.99, similar to previous accessory/minifigure packs for other themes.

The LEGO Movie 2 Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527) Polybag Review

The LEGO Movie 2 Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527)

The LEGO Movie 2 has a number of polybags that are currently available and the next one I’ll take a look at is Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527). It has 44 pieces and it retails for $3.97. I found mine at Walmart in a little section on top of a store display for TLM2.

The minifigure included is Lucy in which her outfit is similar to the one in the first movie but with some slight differences. The torso still has the blue and pink streaks on the front and back. The legs have printing of her brown pants with her black boots. Her hair piece also has her blue and pink streaks along with her goggles molded on. Her accessories include a crossbow and a quiver.

The LEGO Movie 2 Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527)

The LEGO Movie 2 Lucy vs. Alien Invader (30527)

The build is an Alien Invader which basically resembles some DUPLO bricks. The top half of it is made of orange bricks and it has an intimidating 2×2 eye in the front. I’m not sure about you guys but some of the slope pieces are slightly off-colored. The mouth part is just a blue brick with a couple of studs for the teeth. It is connected to the top of the head using some hinges on the back.

LEGO Masters Coming to US

LEGO Masters

If you haven’t heard about it before, LEGO Masters is a hit TV show over in the UK that is basically a building competition show for AFOLs. It has been announced today that it will be coming here to the United States. UK-based independent production company Tuesday’s Child is teaming up with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment to produce the US version of the show. There’s no details of when it will air but it’s exciting to see the show here. Which AFOLs could we expect to see?

ENDEMOL SHINE NORTH AMERICA AND TUESDAY’S CHILD
BRINGING U.K. SMASH HIT “LEGO® MASTERS” TO U.S. WITH BRAD PITT’S PLAN B ENTERTAINMENT

Conversations Starting with U.S.-based Platforms

Los Angeles, Ca.—Endemol Shine North America and U.K.-based independent production company Tuesday’s Child are teaming with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment to jointly produce a U.S. version of the hit British series “LEGO® MASTERS.”

The production companies are set to start conversations with potential American-based platforms later this month.

Originally created by Tuesday’s Child, “LEGO MASTERS” first launched on Channel 4 in the U.K. in 2017, quickly becoming the network’s highest-rated new series, nearly doubling its primetime average with young adults. Since then, “LEGO MASTERS” was renewed by Channel 4 and local versions of the successful format have begun launching around the world.

Along with Plan B Entertainment, Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre and Michael Heyerman will serve as executive producers for Endemol Shine North America, Karen Smith and Steph Harris will serve as executive producers for Tuesday’s Child and Jill Wilfert and

LEGO Asia Exclusive Sets Building Instructions

LEGO Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner (80101)

Two of the Asia exclusive LEGO sets are currently available on the other side of the world and on the secondary market but for the majority of us, we have to rely on other means to build them. Luckily, LEGO has provided the building instructions in PDF format for us to build the two sets. There are some exclusive parts so you’ll have to find substitues or omit them completely, mainly for the printed pieces. It’s a shame that LEGO decided not to release these sets worldwide but at least we’re able to build them to an extent. I’m in the process of getting a hold of the sets from a few sources to do reviews on them but it may take a while as they are very popular right now. Thanks to Ruby for the heads up on the instructions.

What’s interesting about this set is the printed 1×1 brick for the popcorn box. This brick is currently only in one other set which is the Fire Station (60215).

The LEGO Movie 2 Discover Card Ad

The LEGO Movie 2 Discover

Last week, the folks at Discover reached out to us letting us know about a partnership they are doing with LEGO. Today they released a couple of ads featuring The LEGO Movie 2’s Wyldstyle forgetting to pay her Discover card bill. She calls in with customer service agent Lucy telling her that Discover waives the late payment fee the first time a payment is missed. This ad is Discover’s first co-branded ad campaign with a major movie and it happens to be with The LEGO Movie 2. Check out the ads below.

Everything is not awesome as we revisit Bricksburg, where Duplo invaders from outer space are destroying everything. The spot opens on The Lego Movie 2’s heroine Wyldstyle running from the Duplo aliens, and realizing that with all of the destructive alien invaders, she’s forgotten to pay her Discover card bill. Discover’s helpful customer service agent, Lucy, informs Wyldstyle that it’s no problem, because Discover automatically waives the late payment fee the first time you miss your payment, no matter the reason. Wyldstyle is super pumped – well, she would be if she weren’t being attacked by aliens.

The LEGO Movie 2 Poster Giveaway

The LEGO Movie 2

A few days ago, I went to my LEGO store to pick up the 100th North America LEGO Store minifigure along with some The LEGO Movie 2 character posters but some of you didn’t know that I also came away with some film posters for the movie. In fact, I left the store with a whole roll of them and you have a chance to win one. The poster isn’t your normal 11″x17″ or 18″x24″ ones, no. This is the large 27″x40″ one sheet that you find in theaters and it features the original poster with Sweet Mayhem with the main characters in the helmet reflection.

I’ll be using Rafflecopter to do the giveaway and I will be choosing five (5) winners. The posters will be shipping in a poster tube shortly after the giveaway is over at the end of the month. Note that the posters are not in mint condition as there are some minor folds at the corners but I’ll try to pick out the best looking ones.

The 24×36 posters are double-sided with one side featuring the characters from the first LEGO Movie and the other side showing their new look from the sequel. Again, there’s no catch to get them, just ask and you shall receive.

100th North America LEGO Store Exclusive Minifigure Review

100th North America LEGO Store Minifigure

Today LEGO opened their 100th North America LEGO Brand Store at the Crossgates Mall in Albany, NY and to celebrate, all brand stores gave away an exclusive minifigure and poster. With purchases of $50 or more, you can get the 100th LEGO Store minifigure that is in the same San Diego Comic Con clamshell style with a backing card. The card itself is metallic and it shows the 100 LEGO Stores in North America.

For the minifigure, it is the same as the LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure (5001622) polybag from 2015 but this new one has exclusive printing of 100 LEGO Stores in North America on the back.

100th North America LEGO Store Minifigure

Overall, LEGO did not announce this promotion and it was a total surprise for a majority of people. The only reason that I got it was I saw people posting images of it online and I hurried over to my store to get one. Again, you have to make a purchase of $50 or more at a LEGO Brand Store, while supplies last.

Update: Apparently there was an email blast that was sent out but I didn’t get that email even though I’m signed up for them. This promotion will run starting today until Sunday.

It’s never too early to for Halloween or just dressing up for the premiere of The LEGO Movie 2 and Target already has some costumes available for kids.

The LEGO Movie 2 Justice League TV Spot

The LEGO Movie 2 Justice League

A few days ago, Warner Bros. released a new Justice League TV spot for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. It featured every character from the Justice League in their tradional outfits, besides Aquaman who got the Jason Momoa treatment. Although she didn’t have a speaking line in the spot, it has been reported that Gal Gadot will be voicing Wonder Woman. This makes two of the DCEU actors that will be in the movie joining Momoa. We already know that Jonah Hill will be returning as Green Lantern and I’m assuming that Channing Tatum will be Superman once again.

We’ve been covering a lot of news for The LEGO Movie 2 so far but stay tuned as there will be a lot more in the coming weeks ahead.

McDonald’s has updated their Happy Meal site and it has revealed that The LEGO Movie 2 will be getting some Happy Meal toys next month. There’s no word on what it is but unless something drastic has changed, there will be no actual LEGO sets or minifigures included.

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) Box Art & Packaging

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023)

An image of The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) were revealed yesterday and now, an German online retailer has posted the box art and packaging for the set. If you look closely, do you see something different? If you guessed the packaging, you are correct. This new TLM2 minifigure series will be using similar packaging as the Unikitty Collectible Series (41775) which is slightly taller and the parts are in a bag inside another bag. This change could make feeling for a partiuclar minifigure somewhat more difficult as there is another layer of protection to go through. Some of the larger minifigures with unique pieces like the crayon, giraffe, and watermelon will still be easy to find but some characters will smaller parts will be a bit harder. What do you think of this small yet big change? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Toy Story 4 Sets Confirmed for 2019

LEGO Juniors Toy Story 4

The European 2019 catalogs for the first half of the year are now available and they have confirmed there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4 sets coming. According to the Spanish catalog, there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4+ sets and the English version confirms there will be a LEGO DUPLO Toy Story set. Rumor has it that it is a train set with Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Since the movie comes out in June, the 4+ and DUPLO sets will probably come out in May.

The Brick Fan 2018 Recap

It’s another year in the books and we are now finally able to take a look at the 2018 website traffic and changes on The Brick Fan. You may or may not have noticed, we made some major changes to the site during the summer and fall. We changed hosting companies which resulted in better stability and we also changed the website theme. It may not look that much different from the one we have when we first started the site back in 2012 but it is much smoother and has additional functionality.

As a result as far as numbers are concerned, we ended 2018 with 14,847,830 pages views and that is a whopping 63% increase in traffic from 2017. Everything across the board increased which you can see below.

In June, we spiked in traffic probably due to some behind-the-scenes things I was working on and in September, we rolled out the new layout. Our highest traffic day was on November 22 with 82,568 views. That was the day that images of the January 2019 sets started coming out.

Some other random high traffic days include:

– September 27: LEGO FORMA Theme Officially Announced

– October 10: LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987) Revealed

– October 22: LEGO Overwatch Official Images Found at Target

Finally, we finished with 886 posts for the year with 4,818 comments on those posts. Both counts are slightly down from 2017 but considering I was basically working three jobs at one period of time last year, that’s not too bad.… Continue

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023)

Folks on the other side of the world have started to receive their 2019 January-May LEGO catalog along with the LEGO Life magazine and we now have a first look at the upcoming The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023). We’ve already seen a few of them during my review of The Awesomest, Most Amazing, Most Epic Movie Guide in the Universe but now we get to see the rest of the lineup. The most surprising minifigures include the ones from The Wizard of Oz which consists of Dorothy with Toto, Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow. We’ll know the names of all The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures when LEGO decides to officially announce them which should be really soon since they will be available starting in February.

LEGO January 2019 “Choose Your Gift” Promotion

LEGO Jan 2019 GWP

The January 2019 LEGO Store Caledar doesn’t show any notable promotions for the month because LEGO doens’t announce them anymore on the calendars but instead will be sending them to your emails or use flyers in the mail.

From January 1-13, you will be able to choose your promo item with purchases of $25 or more at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home.

The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841) Available on Amazon

For those who are looking for The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841), it is now available on Amazon at retail price. The only downside is that it won’t be in stock until January 9 but at least you are able to order it and get it sooner than you would on Shop@Home. Again, this small set is very highly sought after and will probably be like that for a while just because of the four different spaceman minifigures.

If you prefer shopping at Target because of the REDcard discount, they also have it available online as well.

The LEGO Movie 2 Rex's Plantimal Ambush (30640)

I’m not sure of the availability of the polybag at this time. Since it is on LEGO’s servers, it could be a future gift-with-purchase promotional item however it has also showed up in Walmart’s system through Brickseek as well. This might mean that Walmart may get it later on in the year, similar to some other promo items in the past.

This brings the number of known polybags for TLM2 to six so far and their availability are as below:

Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) – Target

The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841) Availability

The LEGO Movie 2 sets have been available for a few days now and arguably the most popular set in this wave is Benny’s Space Squad (70841). At only $9.99, it has four different colored space minifigures which is something that fans highly desire. Currently, it is on backorder on LEGO Shop@Home and will ship in 30 days but if you can’t wait, some other retails have already started carrying the set as well.

Target online is also out of stock at this time but various locations may have them in store. Check out Brickseek to see which stores have them on the shelves or in the warehouse.

In addition, Barnes & Noble has it available online as well as in stores. You can check the availability of the set by entering your zip code to find stores closest to you. You can purchase online and pick it up locally.

Benny’s Space Squad will be more widely available at the beginning of the year so don’t worry if you can’t find it now. Don’t go paying flipper prices for it unless you really want it for some reason. I’ve already seen people selling and buying it for over $20. Keep in mind that it also may be a little difficult to find when the movie comes out in February because of the hype surrounding the movie. For what you get at that price point, I can see that it’ll be popular for a long time.

The LEGO Movie 2 Aquaman Revealed

The LEGO Movie 2 Aquaman

Warner Bros. has released a first look at the Aquaman minifigure that will be appearing in The LEGO Movie 2. If you remember from San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that Aquaman will be voiced by Jason Momoa. If you look closely at the clip below, you can see Momoa’s Aquaman using the original Aquaman as a surfboard. This could possibly mean that there are two version of the character that could be appearing in the movie. The LEGO Movie 2 sets are available starting today on LEGO Shop@Home but we don’t see any Aquaman minifigures so this reveal may suggest that they could appear in a second wave of sets next summer.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341) Review

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

Recently, LEGO has quietly released some accessory packs called LEGO xtra and at the beginning of 2019, they will be releasing another polybag Sea Accessories (40341). Priced at $3.99 each, the polybag has 24 pieces and it features items that you are able to find or use in a water environment. Some of these items include a lime green surfboard with matching flippers, a treasure chest with a printed 2×2 map, binoculars, a barrel, an oar, a couple of harpoons, a buoy, a couple of gems, and a shell with a star pearl. There’s also some animals such as a shark, a multi-colored parrot, and a fish.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

If you’ve been wanting to find a cheap way to add some animals to your layout, this Sea Accessories polybag could be the way to go. The shark has been appearing in more and more sets but the parrot is still a pretty rare animal and will only be in the larger modular buildings such as the Assembly Square (10255) and Corner Garage (10264) so this polybag is the cheapest way to get it.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

The LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341) is a a decent parts pack that gives a variety of water-related items. Again, it will be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home starting on January 1.

The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) Review

The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528)

As I reported before, one of the new polybags that have showed up at Walmart for The LEGO Movie 2 is the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528). The polybag consists of 42 pieces and retail for $3.97 and it can be found at the LEGO aisle.

The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528)

The build is basically a smaller version of MetalBeard’s crab mech which the normal version is in the Battle-Ready Batman and MetalBeard (70836) set. In the middle of the mech is MetalBeard’s head with his and, of course, his metal beard piece right below. The back has a crow’s nest that is attached on a ball joint. Unlike the regular set, this one doesn’t have a treasure chest with his internal organs. Although he has some claws for legs, there’s also a single wheel at the bottom to help him move.

The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528)

This polybag is a 3-in-1 set so it is able to change into a three-wheel vehicle as well as a ship but the instructions for those builds are not available at this time but I’ll do a follow-up when they are. Again, The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) can be found at Walmart and if you need help to see if your store potentally has the polybags, head over to Brickseek and enter your zip code to check the inventory near you.

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet's Piece Offering (30340)

So far, I’ve already on two The LEGO Movie 2 polybags with the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) and Star-Stuck Emmet (30620) but it looks like there’s another one to look out far. One of our readers on our Facebook Page, Cory, has found Emmet’s Piece Offering (30640) at their local Target store. The polybag consists of 44 pieces and I assume it retails for $3.99 like all other polybags there. It looks to be found near the LEGO section as seen from the background of the image but they could also be put out on the endcaps or at the checkout lanes.

I’ve also heard another reason for Star Wars Days being cancelled is to shift focus to The LEGO Movie 2. There’s still a chance that LEGO Star Wars Days could return down the line but in the future, it’s done for.

LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253)

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will have a new promotional item with the LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253). You can get it with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last. After taking a year off, LEGO introduces the 28 piece Reindeer Head which joins the 2014 Christmas Train (5002813), 2015 Christmas Train (5003083), and the 2016 Toy Soldier (5004420).

Like with the previous ornaments, the parts are inside a little green pouch along with the instructions and the string.

LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253)

The build is very straight-forward and the finished result looks a lot like a reindeer head mount which is kind of morbid. I do recommend changing the black 1×1 round plate for the nose to a red one to represent Rudolph as it makes the build a bit more festive.

Top 10 LEGO 2018 Sets

2018 came and went pretty quickly and it’s that time where I list my top 10 LEGO sets of the year. According to Brickset, there were 784 products that were released this year and only ten of them will be the chosen few to be on this list using various criteria such as price, importance, nostalgia. Again, this is my personal list and will differ from everyone else’s.


10. 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290)

Earlier this year, LEGO celebrated the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and to commemorate the event, they released a promotional set which features four micro versions of classic LEGO sets including the Town Airport Shuttle, Yellow Castle, Pirates Black Seas Barracuda, and the Space Galaxy Explorer.

9. LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235)

LEGO has been embracing the Chinese culture more the past few years and for the first time this year, they have made a set available here in the US with the Year of the Dog. This was a promotional set was easily obtainable and hopefully next year’s set will be easy to get as well.

Did LEGO Tease Another McLaren Set?

LEGO Speed Champions McLaren

A few days ago, LEGO teased an image of the upcoming 2019 LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Senna but camouflaged. They could either be teasing that particular set or could there be more to this image?

As we know by know, LEGO has partnered up with various car manufacturers to produce sets for the Speed Champions as well as Technic. This includes the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) from 2016 and the Bugatti Chiron (42083) from earlier this year but what will the 2019 supercar be?

I’ve heard an unsubstantiated rumor that next year’s LEGO Technic supercar could be a McLaren but at this point, that’s all that is right now. If you remember back in January, LEGO revealed that the Bugatti Chiron would be released later in the year and will LEGO do the same thing next month? All keep in mind that the Nuremberg Toy Fair will be held at the end of January as well and that’s where we got the first information about the Bugatti. Stay tuned for more details as they happen.

LEGO Seasonal 2019 Year of the Pig (40186) Revealed

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186)

In the past few years, LEGO has been releasing some small sets to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year with the zodiac animal sets and the 2019 Year of the Pig (40186) has been revealed. Originally they have been exclusive to the Asian markets but last year, LEGO made it more accessable to the Western countries and were available in stores and on Shop@Home. Hopefully LEGO decides to do that again and I assume this set will be available in mid-to-late January/early February since Chinese Year Year will be on February 5.

Blizzard Open to Discussing LEGO World of Warcraft Sets

It was a huge surprise back in May when Activision Blizzard announced they were partnering up with LEGO to produce LEGO Overwatch which will be coming out in January. Since then, fans have been wondering if LEGO will be doing other IPs in Blizzard’s portfolio. Recently, Forbes has done an interview with both Blizzard Vice President of Consumer Products Matt Beecher and LEGO Designer Woon Tze Chee about some of the Overwatch sets. The interview basically talked about the sets and how they came to be and transitioned to if LEGO will be doing other products with other IPs. While LEGO declined to say on the possibility of LEGO World of Warcraft sets, Beecher went on to say:

It needs to be the right time and place for both parties. I mean, we would definitely be interested in discussing that. With World of Warcraft, there’s a hundred million-plus people that have touched that experience at some point in their life, so there’s a very broad and diverse audience around the world that supports World Of Warcraft. But it obviously would be a mutual decision. We need make sure there’s enough indicators pointing to that it would be a great idea.

As a Warcraft fan, I wouldn’t mind seeing LEGO Warcraft sets. It is a fantasy/castle theme that fans would enjoy with almost unlimited playability because the lore is so expansive. Since LEGO Nexo Knights has retired, there’s a hole in the castle theme and Warcraft could supplement the years where we don’t have castle-type sets. That … Continue

In the meantime, we still have the Caped Crusader in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part which hits theaters in February.

LEGO BrickHeadz Dragon Dance Guy (40354)

A few months ago, I did a post saying that the LEGO BrickHeadz line was rumored to be ending next year but it looks like that has been debunked as LEGO’s servers have uploaded the 2019 LEGO Seasonal BrickHeadz sets. As of this writing, there are eight sets that we can expect with three of them being available at the beginning of the year.

LEGO Creator Detective’s Office and Brick Bank Officially Retired

I have just been told from my source that the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) and the Brick Bank (10251) have officially been retired. That means there are no more sets being produced and whatever sets you find on store shelves are the last remaining sets you’ll be able to find at retail price. I’ve been telling you guys about it for a while now and it looks like this is the end of the road for these two sets. As of this writing, LEGO Shop@Home still has them in stock and Amazon still has five sets available at retail price, however, the Brick Bank is out of stock everywhere.

LEGO Marvel Bricktober 2018 (5005256) Set May Not Be Available in US

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2018 (5005256)

A lot of you may have been waiting to get your hands on the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2019 (5005256) set but I have some news about it that you may not like. I’ve been told by a source that it was only available in North America at Toys R Us Canada and we might not even see it being available at LEGO Brand Stores/Shop@Home. It also seems unlikely that we’ll also be seeing the Harry Potter (5005254) set at LBR and S@H but fortunately, Barnes & Noble still has their promo going for it until December 26.

Going back to the Marvel minifigure set, it’s a bummer that we won’t see it at LEGO Stores but there’s still a very slim chance that it could go to another retailer early next year however I won’t hold my breath. Currently the only way to get it is on the secondary market or if you have connections to someone in Canada or overseas.

LEGO Black VIP Card 2018 Gift Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card (5005747)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Black VIP Card holders will be getting a special gift this month and the set has been revealed today on LEGO’s servers. I’ve been told that card holders will be getting a special code in their email soon to redeem the gift which is a brick-built card holder along with a black minifigure with a Millennium Falcon printing on the torso. Alas, there’s no way to get this gift, minus the secondary market, because you had to have purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) last year on Shop@Home during a certain period of time. Hey, it’s better than getting double points on select sets.

LEGO Black VIP Card Exclusive Item Coming in December

More Images of Asia Exclusive LEGO Dragon Dance (80102)

LEGO Dragon Dance (80102)

A few days ago, we saw the official images of the Asia exclusive LEGO Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner (80101) and we also got a glimpse at the Dragon Dance (80102). There are now more images of the Dragon Dance and the back of the box does confirm that it does contain a kinetic play feature. On the left side of the box, you are able to turn the dial and it will move various sections of the dragon up and down. Also note that this set will also include a teal brick separator, a first of its kind.

From what I’ve been hearing, these sets will only be available to the Asian markets so it’ll be pretty difficult to obtain if you’re outside those countries. I feel they will sell well worldwide but in the meantime, LEGO will only be focusing the sets in that particular region.

Upcoming LEGO December 2018 Unannounced Promotions

LEGO Jurassic World Bricktober 2018 (5005255)

The December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar has been released for a while now and the promotions have been somewhat limited but I’ve gotten news on some unannounced promotions for the month. According to my source, there will be three gift-with-purchase promos which include:

December 1-23: – Free Parrot Mailer with purchases of $10 or more, in-store only.
December 1-31: – Free LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) with purchase of Darth Vader’s Castle (75251).
December 14-16: Free LEGO Jurasic World Bricktober (5005255) set with purchases of $99 or more.

LEGO may decide to send out an email blast or post on social media about these promos as we get closer to December but keep an eye out on Shop@Home if you’re looking to get some of them. No word on whether they will be both in-store and online at this time but I assume they will be.

Update: The Parrot Mailer will be in-store only.
Update 2: LEGO Brand Stores will have limited quantities of the Jurassic World Bricktober set. The email blast for the promotions is scheduled to go out on December 1.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) Black Friday 2018 Sale

LEGO Creator Detective’s Office Held for Black Friday Sale

LEGO Creator Detective's Office

If you’ve elected to receive physical mail from LEGO, you may already seen the details of the upcoming Black Friday 2018 promotions. One of these deals include a sale of 20% off the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246). If you check on Shop@Home, the set is temporarily out of stock. I’ve been told that LEGO is holding the inventory, both in store and online, until Black Friday actually starts.

I don’t think LEGO has done anything like this in recent years so I think they believe it will sell out during the three-day event. With the sale, the Detective’s Office will only be $127.99 which is an amazingly good deal for what you get. If you don’t think you will have time to pick it up this weekend, Amazon currently has plenty of it in stock with Prime shipping.

If you saw my post from the other day, this set is one of the over 200 sets that will be retiring soon so that means that production on the set has probably ended and whatever stock they have left will be it. For those who have been wanting to get it, I suggest doing it this weekend as it may be the last time you’ll be able to get it, especially on sale.

Chris Pratt Shows Off The LEGO Movie 2 Rex Dangervest Minifigure

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Rex Dangervest

A few weeks ago, we got our first look at Chris Pratt’s other character in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part named Rex Dangervest and today we have a better look at the character. Chris Pratt also shows off the official minifigure for Rex Dangervest which is a cleaner, dark blue version of Emmet’s uniform. The legs also has some kneepad printing as well as boot printing as well. Rex Dangervest is described to be a space traveling archeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer and we’ll most likely see this character in the new trailer tomorrow.

More Than 200 LEGO Sets Retiring Soon

The European LEGO Shop@Home sites have listed over 200 LEGO sets that are set to be retired soon. I’ve listed some of these sets a few days ago but there are a ton more sets that we’ve just found out about including the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310), LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144), and the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827). You can check out the sets that are on the chopping block in the link above and this is a last reminder of the early Black Friday promotions which will end in a few hours.

A majority of the sets that are retiring soon can also be found on Amazon at an even better price than with double points so you’ll have to check out where the better deal is for you. LEGO doesn’t give an exact date on when the sets are retiring but we can assume that they have already stopped production on them.

LEGO DUPLO My First Minnie Build (10897) Revealed

LEGO DUPLO My First Minnie Build (10897)

As 2018 is coming to a close, various retailers have started to upload images to their respective servers for the 2019 LEGO sets that are set to be released in January. We’ve already seen the Spider-Man and Overwatch ones but this next one is something that we didn’t expect but it is a LEGO DUPLO set. It is called My First Minnie Build (10897) and it’s basically a DUPLO build of Minnie Mouse. From looking at the back of the box, it also has a couple of parts to change out Minnie’s outfit from pink to red. It’s a cute little set that gives the younger audience an introduction to both LEGO and Disney.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Reported Set Names

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part comes to theaters in a just a short few months and everyone is excited to see what kind of sets will be released for it. We haven’t gotten any details of the sets that will be part of the movie except for the three that were revealed for SDCC until now. A Polish price comparison site has listed the set names for The LEGO Movie 2 in Polish but if we translate it we get the list below.

Planet DUPLO Guests and Emmet (10895)
Emmet and Benny’s Workshop (70821)
Unikitty’s Best Friends (70822)
Emmet’s Tricycle (70823)
Rex Roadster (70826)
Ultrakatty & Warrior Lucy! (70827)
Emmet and Lucy’s Escape Buggy (70829)
Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship! (70830)
Emmet’s Builder Box! (70832)
Lucy’s Builder Box! (70833)
Benny’s Space Team (70841)

What’s interesting about the set list is that there will indeed be a LEGO DUPLO set for the movie and it appears that it will be combining both DUPLO bricks with regular minifigures. Also the Benny’s Space Team set sounds like it could be sort of a Battle Pack. Could it be a set full of spaceman minifigures?

LEGO Sets Retiring Soon for 2018

The LEGO Holiday 2018 catalog should be in your mailbox by now if you’ve elected to receive things in the mail. There’s nothing too special about our version of the catalog but the UK version gives us a look at some of the sets that will soon be retiring. One of our readers Stephen has shared a couple of the pages from the UK LEGO catalog there are sets that you may be interested in picking up before they go away forever. Keep in mind, sets in other parts of the world will retire before the US so it gives us some extra time to get them but know they will be next on the chopping block.

LEGO Black Friday 2018 Confirmed Promotion Details

LEGO Black Friday 2018

A few days, I reported on some rumored Black Friday 2018 promotions at LEGO and there is now confirmation of these promotions. First, there is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) with purchases of $99 or more. This promo will run in store and online from November 23-26. Next is the LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257) with purchases of $50 or more. This promotion is only available in stores on November 23. I’m sure this will draw some ire from Ninjago fans who don’t have a LEGO Store near them.

Some other Black Friday LEGO promotions include select sale items at LEGO Stores on November 23. In addition, there’s also items that are 30% off at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from November 23-26. Cyber Monday sales on November 26 will have items 20% off. Lastly, if your store still has the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) still in stock, you can get it for 20% off from November 23-26.

Thanks to Ryan for tweeting in the images from the new LEGO Black Friday flyer.

Philly Brick Fest Early Registration Now Live

Early registration for Philly Brick Fest 2019 is now live and there’s only a few days left to do so at a discounted rate. From now until November 10, full registration for the event is $78 which includes special event opening ceremonies, a brick badge, goodie bag, display space for your LEGO creations, and more.

From the looks of it, I will be attending again next year and it will be my fifth year attending in total. If everything goes according to plan, I’ll be bringing The Brick Fan brick badges to give away to those who find me. I couldn’t get them in time for this year’s event. Just an insider tip if you’ve never been, there’s lots of activities there that is well worth the registration price and the event creators go out of their way to accommodate you.

LEGO FORMA Officially Sold Out

The Indiegogo campaign for LEGO FORMA has officially ended as all of the perks that were offered have been claimed with a few hours left over. The campaign was 1,334% above the 500 perk goal as there were 6,673 perks claimed. I’m not sure how that number came to be as the total number of perks that were available were 6,505. We now have to wait a few months for the delivery of the sets which is estimated to be sometime in January 2019.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Silent Mary (71042) Amazon Sale

The LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Silent Mary (71042) is currently on sale over on Amazon for $149.99 which is 25% off the regular price of $199.99. This is probably the last time that you’ll see this set at this low of a price because from what I’m hearing, it’ll be retiring soon. This is also the last time that you’ll find a Johnny Depp Jack Sparrow minifigure for a set that is still available at retail because there are reports that Disney might be rebooting the franchise without Depp at the helm. Even if that report isn’t true, it sounds like he is done with the character.

Note that this set is sold by Amazon and not a third-party seller. Shipping is stated that will be within 1-3 months but they’ll usually ship it before then.

As we’re getting closer to Christmas, the LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar (75213) is finally on sale at some retailers. The new Target ad shows it is 10% off and is priced at $35.99.

Five Days Left on LEGO FORMA Indiegogo Campaign

We are down to the last five days for the LEGO FORMA Indiegogo campaign and there is only a small amount left available for each perk option. The best deal is the LEGO FORMA Super Box and as of this writing, there’s only 160 left for the US and 45 for the UK. As for the individual models, there’s only a handful left for each of those and they’ll surely go out of stock before the campaign is over. I’ll do another reminder on the last day as there will certainly be a rush of supporters as it usually is with crowdfunding campaigns.

Rumored LEGO Black Friday 2018 Promotions

LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257)

Last month, I reported that the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets would be coming in November through December but there was no details about it. Today I’ve received some new information from a trusted source for the upcoming Black Friday promotions. I’ve been told that the LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257) will be available during that time with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last. The other Black Friday promotion is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) with purchases of $99 or more. Of course, this information is still considered a rumor until LEGO confirms it in the next few weeks. I trust the information that I have but we’ll see if they are true soon.

Geoffrey’s Toy Box to be in Kroger Stores

Last month, it was revealed that Toys R Us was rebranded as Geoffrey’s Toy Box. It is basically a store-in-a-store concept and the first stores will be in a large Midwest retailer. My original guess was Meijer but it was announced that Kroger will be store that will have the first Geoffrey’s Toy Box. Starting this month, Kroger supermarkets will start to get displays with the Geoffrey branding and with it are a small selection of toys. There are currently no big brands on the portfolio including LEGO but we’ll see if this concept will eventually bring the bigger brands to the stores.

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) Modifications

The LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) is now available and if you’ve followed the project on Ideas, you’ll notice that LEGO made some minor changes to it. Jason Allemann has uploaded a new video showing some modifications he has made to the official set to his liking.

One of the big changes was that LEGO omitted the clasp on the set which I mentioned in my review. In the video, he has shown us know how to make a small change to the set to add the clasp. What’s cool is that you don’t even need your own parts to make because it uses existing parts from the set itself. Jason also shows us how to make a clip clasp but that will require some extra parts.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) Amazon Lightning Deal

This is my final Amazon deal for today and I’ve saved the best for last for the next hour. They currently has a lightning deal for the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) on sale for $169.97 which is 37% off or $100.02 off the normal price of $269.99. This is definitely worth picking up because of the minifigures as well as some of the builds. There is a percentage claim on this set so hurry if you have been wanting one or want to expand on an existing Batcave.

Update: The lightning deal is over but there’s currently a smaller sale on it for $240.99.

LEGO Architecture 2019 San Francisco (21043) and Paris (21044) Details

LEGO Architecture

We have some new details of the 2019 LEGO Architecture sets that will be coming next year. Alternate.at has listed two sets which are San Francisco (21043) and Paris (21044) and both will be the Skyline style that has been fairly popular among fans.

San Francisco has 565 pieces and will include the Painted Ladies, 555 California Street, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Salesforce Tower, the Coit Tower, Fort Point, the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island. The set is priced at € 49,99.

Paris has 694 pieces and its build will include the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysées, the Tour Montparnasse, the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. It is also priced at € 49,99

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) Amazon Sale

There’s a decent sale going at Amazon for the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) that is 11% off the retail price. It is currently at $309.99 which saves you $40 on it. Outside of using VIP points, this is the lowest the set has been at. I’ve heard some rumors that the Ghostbusters Firehouse could be retiring soon but I can’t confirm the validity of it. Considering that the set was released back in January 2016 and direct-to-consumer sets have roughly a two year shelf life, it wouldn’t be out of the possibility that it might be gone after this year.

If you want to earn VIP points on this set, today is the last day of Double Points on Shop@Home and you’ll be able to earn 699 points from it. That means you’ll be getting back $35 from points but that’s still less than the Amazon sale so you’ll have to decide which way to go.

Last Day for LEGO Double VIP Points – October 2018

Today is the last day to make your purchases on LEGO Shop@Home for Double VIP Points for October. This was a surprise promotion that wasn’t listed on the October store calendar so it’s worth making your purchases now. It’s unsure if there are any more general double points promotions for the last two months of the year but it seems likely that Black Friday weekend might have one since they’ve done it in the past. The November store calendar shows double points but on certain sets on VIP.LEGO.com.

LEGO City People Pack – Fun at the Beach (60153) Amazon Sale

Continuing on with more sales over on Amazon, they have the LEGO City People Pack – Fun at the Beach (60153) for $25.99 which is 35% off the regular price of $39.99. This is the lowest the set has been on Amazon and it is definitely worth it now because it was a little overpriced at the original price and I think it was sitting on store shelves because of that reason.

LEGO Harry Potter & Jurassic World Scholastic Activity Books

LEGO Harry Potter Back to Hogwarts

Scholastic has updated some book covers of some of their upcoming LEGO books that are up for pre-order on Amazon.

This version is the short leg one with the gray sweater and it also includes a 2×2 printed tile of The Daily Prophet. It currently goes for $7.05 but you can save an extra $0.43 by using a coupon they are offering.

LEGO Jurassic World Jurassic Hero

The other book is the LEGO Jurassic World Jurassic Hero activity book and it has a minifigure of Owen Grady. This version of him is the same one as the one in the Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape (75929) but this is the cheapest way to get him. Plus he also comes with a number of accessories.

LEGO Inside Tour 2019 Registration Opens Tonight

LEGO Inside Tour

Registration for the LEGO Inside Tour will be opening starting tonight and will run for a few days. Starting at 10am CET/2am PST/5am EST, you can sign up through the registration page on the link above and it will be up until November 2 at the same time. It looks like LEGO has done away with the first-come, first-served system and will move to a lottery system which good and bad depending on how you look at it but it seems to be the most fair choice so everyone at least has a chance at it.

There are four tours for 2019 and they are as follows:

May 8-10
June 12-14
September 11-13
September 18-20

The tour isn’t cheap as tickets cost 14,500 DKK/~$2200 USD and the price includes 2 overnight stays with breakfast, catering, and entry ticket to LEGOLAND Billund. Travel costs and additional stays are not included so you’ll have to figure that price in the total as well. The price may seem quite high but everyone I’ve talked to who has attended in the past says it’s worth it. Upon leaving the LEGO Inside Tour, attendees also get a swag bag which includes the extremely limited exclusive Inside Tour set.

New LEGO Brand Store Grand Opening Exclusive Minifigures

LEGO Store New Orleans

There were two brand new LEGO Stores that opened this weekend here in the US with one in New Orleans at the Lakeside Shopping Center and one in Pittsburgh at the Ross Park Mall. As usual, there were exclusive minifigures given away for the first 500 customers. Unlike previous openings where LEGO gave away a three-pack of minifigures, they are now giving away a singular minifigure but each one has a special meaning to the store. I’m not sure if LEGO has given away single minifigures before this but this is the first time I’ve seen it.

For the New Orleans store, there is a Mardi Gras themed one with the minifigure having a purple and green outfit. These colors are synonymous with Mardi Gras which is a celebration period before Lent. The minifigure also has a saxophone as an accessory, which again, has a big part in the history of the city.

For Pittsburgh, fans get a generic hockey player and the sport is very popular there. Although it doesn’t say, the minifigure does have the colors of the Pittsburgh Penguins so that’s pretty cool too.

If you know there’s a LEGO Store coming to your city, check out the LEGO Events Page to get a sneak preview of them every month.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Quidditch Match (75956) Review

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Quidditch Match (75956)

Continuing with my reviews of the revived LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets, the next set I’ll be taking a look at is the Quidditch Match (75956). It consists of 500 pieces and retails for $39.99. The set looks similar to its previous iterations but this one takes elements from the other ones and combine them into one larger set. I believe this set is based on both the Sorcerer’s Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban and you’ll see why throughout the review.

The LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book will officially be available starting on November 1, but if you didn’t see my post from earlier this week, there will be a signing event this Saturday at the Washington Square Shopping Center in Tigard, Oregon.

There are six sets in the wave, both minifigure scale and brick-built so there’s something for everyone. There are, however, some more or less popular characters that are not included like my main, Lucio. Hopefully there’s another wave so we can at least get the full roster lineup.

Here’s a nice surprise that has recently showed up on LEGO’s servers. The new 2018 LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) has been uploaded to the servers and that means more than likely the exclusive ornament will be a gift-with-purchase set this holiday season.

There are no details on the availability at this time it’s nice to see it return after taking a year off last year. We’ll most likely see how to get it when the December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few week. Below are my reviews of the LEGO Christmas ornaments from the previous years.

LEGO Wizarding World Fantastic Beasts Amazon Sales

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be in theaters in a few short weeks and recently LEGO has released a few sets based on the first two Fantastic Beasts movies. Amazon currently has those two sets on sale at which are the lowest they’ve been on the site. Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) is 20% off and is holding at $40 which is $10 off the regular price. This is a really fun build and I do recommend it based on my review.

The other set that is on sale is Grindelwald’s Escape (75951) which is based on the upcoming movie. It is 16% off and is priced at $16.82. My review of this set can be checked out here.

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) Review

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315)

Earlier today, LEGO announced the new LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) and this set was the brainchild of Jason Allemann and Grant Davis. Containing 859 pieces while retailing for $69.99, the book features two well-known short stories with the Little Red Riding Hood, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) Revealed

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292)

The November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar talked about some of the upcoming Black Friday promotions which includes doorbuster deals and exclusive offers but it didn’t mention or show anything for the promotion. It looks like we may have found out what one of the offers could be via the Chinese LEGO Store flyer. At the bottom of the flyer, it shows a limited edition Christmas Gift Box (40292) gift-with-purchase set from November 22-30. Here in the States, our promotions start on November 23 so it’s possible that we could also get this promotion set as well.

If you look closely at the set, you can see that it is able to open up to show a scene inside showing off what appears to be a living room on Christmas day complete with a Christmas tree and toys. It is worth mentioning that the footnote shows that the set is limited to 4,500 copies. I’m not sure if that amount is in that particular region or worldwide.

This set is not the only Christmas set this year has it has already been revealed there is also the Christmas Carousel (40293) as well. There’s no word at this time when that particular promotion will begin. As always, I’ll report any new information that comes out for these two sets.

The LEGO Movie 2 Rex Dangervest First Look

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Rex Dangervest

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part comes out in a few short months and little details of the movie have been slowly releasing. Back in San Diego Comic Con, the Warner Bros. panel talked about a new character for the movie named Rex Dangervest who is also voiced by Chris Pratt. We now have a look at the character which comes from an upcoming book for the movie on Amazon UK.

As you can see from the image above, Rex wears a blue outfit and he has a disheveled look. As stated from the SDCC panel, Rex is a space traveling archeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer. This is a play on some of the characters that Chris Pratt has played in other movies including Guardians of the Galaxy, The Magnificent Seven, and Jurassic World.

The Pop-Up Book features two popular short stories, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk and both builds are interchangeable on the book base.

LEGO didn’t mention it in the press release but the set will be available starting on November 1. Check out more details in the press release below as well as more high-quality images. I’ll be releasing my review of the set later today so stay tuned for that.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) Barnes & Noble Update #2

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

It’s been really quiet here in terms of LEGO news simply because there’s nothing to report on but that’ll change soon. In the meantime, there’s another update on the ongoing saga which is for the LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) set. A few days ago, I reported that people have either been finding then in stores or was able to order them in store. Since that time, they are not allowing any orders to be placed on it in stores and any sets they have on hand will not be sold as there is now a strict no-sale policy on it until the end of November. From what I’ve been told on the previous post, they won’t be released until November 17.

If this wasn’t frustrating enough, another person from a different store mentioned that all four Bricktober 2018 sets will be at Barnes & Noble. I can’t vouch for that but I wouldn’t be surprised as this is the first time that we’ve heard that all four sets would be at B&N.

As I mentioned on Twitter, I don’t know what is going on with the Bricktober sets. So far, it’s been short of a disaster as everyone involved has still not said anything helpful so we’re still at the wait and see stage.

LEGO Creator Winter Village Station (10259) Amazon Sale

If you haven’t picked up last year’s LEGO Creator Winter Village Station (10259), Amazon has it on sale for a whopping 31% off the regular price. This now makes it $54.99 instead of $79.99 which makes it a great buy considering that it has 902 pieces. This set is an add-on to the Winter Holiday Train (10254) but it’s a fine set even by itself. Check out my review of it here.

LEGO Double VIP Points Promotion – October 2018

If you didn’t see it last night, LEGO Shop@Home has a surprise Double VIP Points event going on until the end of October. That means for every $100 you spend, you can get back $10 worth of LEGO VIP Points to use on future purchases. There’s probably only two or three Double Points events left in the year so now’s a good time to stock up on Christmas/Birthday gifts. This promotion runs alongside the free LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) with purchases of $75 or more.

On the heels of a major leak this past weekend, LEGO has released a teaser of the upcoming LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315). The official announcement for the set will be coming in a few days but the teaser does show the Big Bad Wolf from the Little Red Riding Hood. It’s also reported that Jack and the Beanstalk will also be included in this set as well. We’ll be able to confirm everything soon.

I’ve already done a review on the Minifigure Collector Frame and you can check it out here if you like.

In addition, there’s also an unannounced Double VIP points promotion going on at the same time as well so it’s even more of an incentive to make your purchases now. I’ve been told that Double VIP Points run until the end of October.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (76108) Amazon Sale

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (76108)

LEGO news has been fairly slow the past few days but there deals on LEGO sets hasn’t been so here’s another one that is worth taking a look at. The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War Sanctorum Showdown (76108) is another set that is on sale and as of this post, it is going for $84.99 which is 15% off the regular price of $99.99. This is the lowest it has ever been, besides using discounts, so now is a good opportunity to pick it up if you’ve been waiting on a deal for it.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) Barnes & Noble Update

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

LEGO and Barnes & Noble have been pretty quiet about the upcoming Bricktober 2018 promotion for the Harry Potter (5005254) set but I have managed to get bits of details about how to get it. Some people have already managed to find them in stores and purchase them by themselves. They were found at or around the small LEGO section. There’s supposedly a promotion that is attached to it but there are no details for that.

I also heard that you could also ask an employee to see if you can put in a order them. The UPC is 673419294300 and it’ll only work if the warehouse for your store already has them allocated. I could not order it yet but I was told to check back regularly. The price on it was $7.99 each.

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) Amazon Sale

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313)

Another day, another deal that has popped up on Amazon. They currently have the LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) on sale for $55.99 which is 20% off the regular price of $69.99. This is obviously a better deal considering that it has 284 trans-blue 1×1 round plates which bumps up the parts count. If you factor that in, you only get 678 pieces and the regular price would be at $0.10/piece but with the sale it drops it down to $0.08/piece. I’ve already done an in-depth review of the set if you want to check it out.

The LEGO Movie 2 Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

The LEGO Movie 2 Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet

Amazon has updated their listing of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet which includes an exclusive Emmet minifigure with the book. The minifigure is hard to see but it looks like the one on the cover of the book which shows Emmet’s outfit all tattered. Since it’s hard to see the minifigure through the clamshell glare, it’s hard to see if it is the same one as the ones shown in a few of the sets that were revealed for SDCC.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet will be released on January 3 and it retails for $11.33. You can pre-order it now and you’ll get the lowest price if it drops between now and then.

Thanks to Michael for the heads up!

LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214) Sale at Walmart

The LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214) is one of the oldest sets that is still currently available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home but there is a sale going on at Walmart that is probably the better deals that I’ve seen for it. The set is selling for $194.99 which is about 18% off the normal price of $239.99. Considering that it has 4,287 pieces, I would say that the sale makes it a great price with the $0.04/piece ratio. Walmart does offer free 2-day shipping or you can do a pickup at your nearest location.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) Sale at Walmart

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144)

Continuing with some of the fall sales on LEGO sets, Walmart has discounted the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144). It is now at $169.99 which is 15% off the regular price and we usually don’t see prices like these unless you use VIP points on it.

Amazon is also price-matching Walmart on the price but on the Frustration-Free Packaging. This means that Amazon could just slap the shipping label on the box itself and ship that way or it ships without the LEGO box itself and you just get the contents in a box. It’s risky but sometimes it works out fine.

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) Releasing Late October

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315)

LEGO China has revealed that the LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) will be releasing later this month. On a post about some upcoming LEGO promotions, there’s an image that says the set will be coming October 26. The image shown isn’t the final product as it just used one of the images from the original project on LEGO Ideas. The release date is just a few weeks away so the official reveal of the set will probably be really soon.

Toys R Us Rebranded as Geoffrey’s Toy Box

Just a few months after Toys R Us declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores here in the US, it looks like they have planned a comeback as soon as next month. Now going under the name of Geoffrey’s Toy Box, they are planning to open store-in-a-store shops and the first ones will reportedly be in a large Midwest retailer. My guess is that it could be in some Meijer stores since they are pretty popular in that part of the country.

This news may sound great as we do need a dedicated toy store but it also doesn’t sit well with some, mainly former employees. As one of those employees, I along with about 33,000 others lost our jobs with no severance pay while the the executives got paid bonuses. I honestly don’t care much about it anymore because I had something lined up before I left but it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth with how everything went down. From what I read, they are trying to rehire some of the former employees in the new stores so that’s good news I suppose. If I was somehow invited back, I most likely won’t be going back because it won’t be the same as before.

It’s still hard to say what Geoffrey’s Toy Box could be at this time. Most likely there will probably be some LEGO sold there but not to the extent of what TRU used to have. We’ll have to see if this new venture pans out or not … Continue

LEGO Friends Friends Advent Calendar (41353)

If you’re looking for a good deal on one of the new LEGO 2018 Advent Calendars, Amazon currently has a sale for the LEGO Friends Advent Calendar (41353). The set has 500 pieces and it is better priced now than the original price of $29.99 simply because it does not include any minidolls or characters. There’s currently no sale for the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75213) or the LEGO City Advent Calendar (60201).

LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359)

Starting next week on October 15 until the end of the month, LEGO will be running a new promotion at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home for the LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359). The set has 55 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last. The frame comes “packaged” in a slipcover and the bag of parts are taped on to the frame. Don’t worry, the tape won’t stick so much to the frame that it’ll rip it.

The two instruction books are packaged along with a small sticker sheet.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom Animated Special Coming in 2019

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Vexed by Venom

Marvel just announced at New York Comic Con 2018, there will be a new animated LEGO special called LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom that will be airing next year. The synopsis of the animated special is:

Some of the voice actors that will be in the show include Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Ghost-Spider/Gwen Stacy, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane.

There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) Reported to be November Promotion

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289)

A few months ago, we got our first look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) promotional set and I’ve gotten reported details on how it will be available. My source has told me that it will be available starting on November 9 with purchases of $99 or more. It’s interesting that the promotion is not listed on the November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. There’s no mention on when the promotion will end but I assume it’ll be before the Black Friday promotions start unless LEGO is being generous and lets it run until the end of the month.

As for the set itself, it consists of mini buildings of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.
