LEGOLAND California Star Wars Days 2015 Participation Details

LEGOLAND California Star Wars Days 2014

Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California is almost here and FBTB has information on how you can participate in their annual Fan Gallery in the area on top of The Model Shop. If you haven’t attended Star Wars Days before, the Fan Gallery is pretty much a collection of Star Wars themed MOCs that local builders bring to show the public. You can check out the builds from last year here.

There are some incentives this year to volunteering your time and/or bringing a MOC. For just volunteering, you can get a Star Wars Days 2015 T-shirt, free entry to the park and lunch for the day of your shift. Each shift consists of a total of four hours.

For bringing a MOC, you get free entry to the park for both days of the event as well as lunch, and “exclusive” minifigure, a discount coupon for The Big Shop (20% off of up to 5 items), and a pair of complimentary passes to the park for future use.

Also for bringing a MOC, there are also prizes for best builds in a particular category (Empire Strikes Back Vignettes, Star Wars Comic Bricks, Star Wars Cube Dudes Diorama, Evolved Starfighters, and The General Category). To read more on those prizes, head over to the FBTB link above to see what you could possibly win if you bring a MOC and it is chosen as a winner. You can also contact Ace if you have any questions.

More LEGO Star Wars Summer 2015 Set Rumors Plus Pricing

Back on Christmas Day, we reported on a list of rumored LEGO Star Wars Summer 2015 sets. Well the folks over at Jedi News now has the tentative release dates as well as UK pricing for the sets so you can get a sense of how large the sets will be. Additionally, there will be 7 sets that will be based on Episode VII: The Force Awakens and two of them will be a new Millennium Falcon and X-Wing. Yes, you heard that right. A new Millennium Falcon and X-Wing based on the new movie! It’s not a huge surprise that those two will be making an appearance.

LEGO January 2015 Promotional Polybags Sold Out (Almost)

It hasn’t been a week yet into 2015 but there’s already bad news. Remember all those promos that LEGO was having with the LEGO Creator Flower Cart (40140), LEGO Star Wars AT-DP (30274), and the LEGO Friends Mini Golf Set (30203)? I’m sad to say that the first two has pretty much been completely sold out. You heard that right. In fact from what I heard, the AT-DP was sold out probably on the second or third day, even at my local LEGO Store. Below is what a rep from LEGO emailed to one of our readers:

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

I’m so sorry the LEGO® 30274 Star Wars AT-DP is in fact sold out completely. We received such a high amount of orders we quickly sold out of it.

There is a way you might still be able to get the promotional set though! I see based on your address you do have a local LEGO® Brand Retail store close by. I will provide the address and phone number to you so you might be able to give them a call and see if they have one in stock.

So that brings us to the question of did LEGO underestimate the amount of orders they are going to get? To take it a step further, was it a mistake of making the AT-DP available free for any LEGO Star Wars purchase? With that stipulation, any Star Wars purchase would have qualified you to get the polybag including keychains which was a … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Rebels AT-DP Polybag (30274) Review

If you made a LEGO Star Wars purchase at the LEGO Store or on Shop@Home, you would have received one of the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels polybags for 2015, the 65-piece AT-DP (30274).

If you’re not familiar with the All Terrain Defense Pod, that is because it is a fairly new Imperial walker that’s mostly been seen so far in the Star Wars Rebels animated series. It is a variant of the AT-ST and has a armored head with a single laser cannon that is mounted in the lower front area. They are deployed to check out areas that have suspected Rebel activity.

Although the AT-DP is a smaller version, it does have a similiar look as its larger counterpart with set 75083icon. Note that it does not come with a minifigure but I’ve displayed one next to the AT-DP to show a size comparison.

Overall, the AT-DP (30274) is good for what you get, if you can get it. I’m hearing reports that Shop@Home is no longer offering the polybag even if you have a Star Wars set in your shopping cart. I’m not sure if they ran out online or if LEGO is still having issues with their website. As far as I know, LEGO Brand Stores are still handing these out but you may want to make your purchases earlier in the month and not wait because they will eventually run out as well.

LEGO 2015 (30xxx) Polybag Round-Up

LEGO Customer Services has updated their database and a lot of the instructions for the 2015 sets and also included were all this year’s polybags that will be available. Instead of doing separate posts for all of them, here’s a round-up of what you can expect to hit stores later this year. Some of them have already shown up at retailers as well as LEGO promos but I’ll add them here since they are part of the 2015 LEGO polybag lineup. If they are already available, I’ll add a note specifying how to obtain it. The only one that is missing an image is the LEGO DUPLO Snail (30218).

Note: These are only polybags with set 30xxx and does not include promotional minifigure polybags or ones that have set number 4xxxx.

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) Round Up

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056)

The LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) is been completed but not without its faults. Here’s a recap on what was good about the Advent Calendar as well as the bad.

Good

There are many miniature models as well as minifigures that were a pleasant surprise for this year. Luke’s Landspeeder on Day 12 is probably my favorite model for 2014. The design of it was spot on and it was very hard to top. The speeder on Day 19 was another build that I liked. Making it into a sleigh-type vehicle and incorporating Santa’s satchel was an interesting move on LEGO’s part.

Some of the minifigures that I liked were the Festive Astromech Droid on Day 22, the Rebel Pilot from Day 16, and General Rieekan on Day 18. Of couse we have Santa Darth Vader on the last day of the Advent Calendar.

Bad

Unfortunately, there are also bad things that went along with the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar. One of these miscues was the reuse of the Y-Wing from Day 21. There are numerous vehicles in the Star Wars Universe but LEGO decides to reuse the same model from three years ago. Another thing that I wasn’t into was the Super Battle Droid from Day 2. Every year either they or the regular Battle Droids seem to make their way into the calendars. Some people may like them, but I’m not.

Results

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) was an above average … Continue

LEGO January 2015 Promotional Polybags Now Available on Shop@Home

LEGO Star Wars AT-DP Polybag (30274)

If you still have some older sets to purchase from LEGO Shop@Home, you may want to know that the new 2015 promotional polybags are now available as of yesterday and they do stack.

You can get a FREE LEGO Star Wars At-DP (30274) with any LEGO Star Wars purchase during the month of January. For the FREE LEGO Creator Flower Cart (40140), you need a purchase of $75 or more in your shopping cart. Finally, for the LEGO Friends Mini Golf (30203) polybag, you just need to get any LEGO Friends item.

I tested it with a larger set that I know will cover the criteria to get both the AT-DP and Flower Cart polybags and threw in a random Friends set and sure enough, they all show up in the shopping cart.

If you don’t have anything left to purchase this year, I would hold off one more day when all the new 2015 sets will be available tomorrow. Thanks to Chris for the heads up yesterday.
