Last Day for LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) Promotion

February 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is the last to get your orders in for the free LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) set on Shop@Home. The minimum purchase to get it is $88 and it’s a pretty good promotion since this is the first time that the US is able to get these Year of the Zodiac animals. Check out my review of the set if you’re still on the fence about getting it.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) Promotion Live on Shop@Home

February 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) promotional set is now live on Shop@Home. To celebrate Chinese/Lunar New Year, LEGO has released this cute little set that was previously only available in Asian countries and in the UK for a short time. To get the Year of the Dog set, it is free with purchases of $88 or more. The promotion runs from now until February 28, while supplies last. If you see the slider on Shop@Home, the $50 minimum purchase is incorrect as you have to have at least $88 in your cart. I’ve already done an early review of the set if you want to check that out.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) Review

February 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Chinese Lunar New Year kicks off this Friday, February 16 and it is a very important holiday for the countries that celebrate it around the world. According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2018 is the Year of the Dog and to celebrate LEGO will be releasing the Year of the Dog (40235) set with purchases of $88 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home starting this Friday. If you think the purchase requirement seems a little off, that is because the number 8 in the Chinese culture is considered very lucky and $88 signifies double joy/prosperity. This also marks the first time in the US that we can get these Year of the Zodiac sets and we don’t have to rely on friends or the secondary market to get it.

The Year of the Dog set is the fourth of these small boxed sets and fifth overall if you count the 4-in-1 Year of the Snake (10250) set from 2013. The box is very cute showing off the Dog and there’s even a space to put a name down for the person you want to gift this set to. The back of the box shows off some of the articulation features of the Dog.

Opening up the flapped box, you are greeted with an envelope along with three un-numbered bags and the instructions.

The envelope is basically LEGO’s version of the red envelope that is given out mainly during Chinese New Year and other important events. The front of it shows the set off … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) Review

January 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

It was only a few days ago that we saw the official image of the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5005249) minifigure and today we have a set in hand for an early review courtesy of BrickVibe. The minifigure follows a number of minifigures in this small promotional type box that we’ve seen before previously with the Easter Chicken (5004468), Gingerbread Man, and a larger Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936). At this time, there is no information on how it will be available at retail stores. All of the previous sets were available on LEGO Shop@Home at one point in time so it might show up on there sometime in the future.

There is a sleeve that comes off to show the details of the box. It shows a little house that is printed with some LEGO style flowers on the front and some egg painting on the back. The door opens up by punching out the perforation to reveal the Easter Bunny Guy who sits in a black container mold.

For the Easter Bunny Guy, he wears a light blue suit with a green striped shirt and a yellow bow tie. There’s also some partial printing of a bunny on the lower part of the torso. This is more clear with the printing of a bunny tail on the back of the torso. The legs are plain white to resemble the bunny legs.

The head has more of an adolescent look to him with the freckles and a bucktoothed smile. The bunny helmet … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) Official Image

January 21, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Late last year, an image of the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) surfaced online and now we have the official image of the set. Brickshop.nl has listed the set available starting in March but we’ll see if there is a promotion for it on Shop@Home when the March Store Calendar is available in a few weeks. The set basically consists of a minifigure with a new torso and a pair of bunny ears along with a paintbrush and an egg as accessories. Like before, the minifigure will come in a cardboard box.

For last year’s Iconic Easter (5004468) set, it was originally available for purchase at Toys R Us at the end of February and subsequently a promo at TRU. It eventually became an unannounced promotion on Shop@Home which only lasted for a few days.

I’ll let you guys know when it will become available and at what retailer as soon as there’s news about it.
