New Summer 2014 Sets Now Available at LEGO Stores

July 18, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The new LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) is now available for VIP members so I decided to take a stroll over to my local LEGO Store in Fashion Valley to take a look at it. From what I saw, it seems to be a really popular set at they were flying off the shelves. I was told that their stock may not last through the weekend although there will be more coming in after.

Another cool thing that I saw at the store was that the summer 2014 wave of the LEGO Star Wars sets are now available including the MTT (75058). I almost pulled the trigger when I saw the Mos Eisley Cantina (75052) and the AT-AT (75054) but I held off because I’d rather have the MINI Cooper Polybag (40199) instead of the Flashback Shredder minifigure but that’s my personal preference.

Finally, the other new thing that I saw at the store was the summer 2014 wave of Legends of Chima. You may notice after looking at the image below that, the Ultrabuild/Constraction sets are not there. From our report back in May, the Ultrabuilds will not be available in North America. Some people didn’t believe the rumor when I presented it but that piece of information came directly from LEGO so there you have it. I even asked the staff if they would be receiving them to make sure but they haven’t heard anything about them either. It’s unfortunate that they will not be sold over here because there … Continue

June 21, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII Polybag (10242)

There are some new instructions on LEGO’s database of a new polybag that will probably be released as a gift with purchase item later this year, possibly in August, the LEGO Creator Mini Cooper MK VII Polybag (40109). It looks to have a similar size to the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van Polybag (40079) which is a miniature-sized version of the 10220 set.

The larger MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) will be available for LEGO VIP Members at brand stores and on Shop@Home from July 18-31 and to the general public on August 1. The set will consist of 1,077 pieces and retails for $99.99.

LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) Polybag Review

June 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

During the better part of June, LEGO Stores and Shop@Home will be giving out the LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) polybag as part of the June 2014 gift with purchase promotion. The set consists of 66 pieces and it is free with purchases of $75 or more.

Minifigures

There are two minifigures in this little polybag, the balloon vendor and a young boy. The vendor wears your old-style uniforms that you would have seen back in the day. He wears a red tie and a grey striped vest with a pocketwatch in one of the pockets. He only has a single-sided head with a happy expression and wears a red hat.

The boy has a red shirt on with dark blue sleeves The shirt has some sort of design on it. Not sure what it is but it’s interesting. He also has dark blue short legs. One nice thing that he has is the double-sided head. On one side, he is extremely happy to get a balloon. On the other opposite side, he is sad and is even shedding a tear, probably due to the fact that his balloon flew away or wasn’t given one.

Build

The first thing that you see after you finish building the balloon cart is that it is very colorful. There are four balloons in the set: orange, red, lime green, and medium azure. On one end of the cart, you got your red and orange helium tanks that are as large as the kid. In the middle, you have a … Continue

One More Week for LEGO Balloon Cart Polybag Promo

June 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

This is just a reminder that you only have about a week left to make your purchases at the LEGO Store or Shop@Home if you want to get your hands on the FREE promotional LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) polybag. According to the June 2014 Store Calendar, it states you have until June 15th to get one with purchases of $75 or more. However on Shop@Home, it says the end of the promotional period is actually June 22nd or while supplies last (see below).

A reason for the date difference could be because the stores are being just cautious since some promotional polybags run out very quickly like the Martian Manhunter back in March. I would suggest calling the stores after tomorrow if you’re planning to head out to the store to ensure they still have some in stock to give away. Most stores will still continue passing them out even past the date stated on the calendar. If they are out, you still have at least a week before the promotional period ends to get your orders in.
