LEGO Star Wars Planets Series 4 Not Sold in United States

September 5, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV & Planet Alderaan (75011)

For those who are collectors of the LEGO Star Wars Planets sets in the United States, FBTB is reporting that Series 4 of the fairly popular sets will not be released here in the States.

The second wave of 2013 LSW planets are no longer launching in the US. They will be available in other global countries, however. As you know, some markets carry slightly different collections depending on their market dynamics, so the strategic decision was made not to launch them in the US.

However, you can still pick up the Snowspeeder & Planet Hoth (75009), B-wing Starfighter & Planet Endor (75010), and Tantive IV & Planet Alderaan (75011) through Bricklink, eBay, or Amazon but at a bit higher prices due to them not being available in the States. If you have contacts in Canada, maybe they can help out since the sets are available there as well. The Planet sets are the final wave for the LEGO Star Wars theme as they are being replaced with the Microfighters line in 2014.

LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) Now Available on Shop@Home

August 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The long-awaited LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) is now available to the public at LEGO stores as well as on Shop@Home. Many Star Wars fans have been waiting for a full size village to complete their Endor displays. LEGO did come out with a small part of the village with the Ewok Attack (7956) but it wasn’t anything near the size of the new Ewok Village. This set contains 1990 pieces and retails for $249.99. If you’re buying the set this month, there’s also a couple of LEGO September promotions you should know about. By purchasing this set, you will be able to get the FREE exclusive Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) as well as the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybags.

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Set Descriptions

August 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

I’ve recently got a chance to see the images of the 2014 wave of the LEGO Star Wars sets and it’s pretty interesting. The boxes are dark colored and feature Darth Vader on the top right corner. The “Recruitment” sets we’ve been reading about are chibi-styled vehicles that the minifigures sit on top of and are labeled “Microfighters”. They are lower priced sets that are portable and allow kids to carry in their pockets. Kids are encouraged to collect and trade the sets amongst themselves. For the system sets, they are described as lower priced sets and are tied to the Lucasfilms movies and The Yoda Chronicles. The sets are listed for a February launch.

System

Jedi Interceptor (Anakin’s Yellow) (73038) – Anakin Skywalker (new) & R2-D2 (new)
V-Wing Starfighter (75039) – V-Wing Pilot (new) and Astromech Droid (new)
General Grievous’ Wheel Bike (75040) – General Grievous (new) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (new)
Vulture Droid (75041) – Neimoidian Warrior (new), Buzz Droid (new), Battle Droid Pilot
Droid Gunship (75042) – 41st Elite Corps Trooper (new), Chewbacca (new), Battle Droid, Sniper Battle Droid

Ewok Village (10236) & Sydney Opera House (10234) Available For LEGO Vips on 8/16/13

August 13, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re a LEGO VIP member (you should sign up if you’re not), you will be able to get the new LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) as well as the LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House (10234) on Friday, August 16th. They will be available in stores as well as on Shop@Home. You have to be signed in with your LEGO ID to be able to purchase it online.

Unless you really like the LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230), I would suggest waiting a couple more weeks for the official release. That way, you can get the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) as well as the LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybags for the Ewok Village. For the Sydney Opera House, you’ll only be eligible for the VW Camper Van with your purchase.

August 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

As we head to the second half of the year, rumors of the 2014 LEGO sets have began to surface. Eurobricks member Klaus-Dieter has been reporting on sets that may come out for various themes in the LEGO universe. First is some news about the Series 12 of the Collectible Minifigures theme. In this series, the minifigures will only be based on characters from the upcoming The LEGO Movie. You can go to the discussion for this piece of news here.

LEGO City of course will be getting a variety of sets as well. The names listed might not be the final ones but you can get an idea of what they are. You can read more about the Police and Great Vehicles subthemes here. More details about the Friends theme can be found here.

CITY

Break-Out of the Police Station (~€99.99)
Break-Out of the Prison Transporter
Bandit’s Hiding Place (~€49.99)
Police Motorcycle Chase

Mobile Police Unit (€29.99)

Great Vehicles

Jeep with Jetski

Monster Truck

Tow Truck

FRIENDS

Finally, Klaus-Dieter has posted some Star Wars sets for the first wave of 2014. Again, the set names listed are probably not the final names you will see when the sets are released. You can read more about the Star Wars sets here.

Update: CM4S has posted an update on the Star Wars … Continue

September LEGO Promotions at Brand Stores & Shop@Home

August 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

If you’re not liking the promotions that LEGO has having for August for the FREE LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230) or LEGO Friends Ice Cream Stand (30106), you might want to hold off until September to buy your LEGO sets. As you can see from the image above, there are a couple of nice promotions that LEGO will be having in their stores and on Shop@Home. With any purchase of $75 or more, you can get a brand new, never released before, Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079). The offer is valid from September 1-30. With $50 or more on Star Wars sets, you can get the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybag which was given out during this year’s Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California. This offer is valid from September 1st through October 31st.

With many new LEGO sets coming out like the Sydney Opera House (10234), the Ewok Village (10236), and all of the recent Summer releases, there are plenty to choose from for the September promotions. It doesn’t say but I think you can double up and get both polybags if you spend $75 or more on Star Wars sets. If you’re thinking of buying sets this month, I would suggest holding off until September for your LEGO purchases.
