Bricktober 2017 at Toys R Us has passed and one of the more anticipated sets of minifigures for this year was for The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939). As we know by now, Batman had a lot of suits in his arsenal and this set has four exclusive ones. This set was available for free with a $50 purchase here in the US or you could have bought it separately for $19.99.
Yesterday I reported on the December 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and probably the most interesting promotion for the month is the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376). It will be available from December 15 – January 14, 2018 with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $60 or more, while supplies last.
The Darth Vader Pod continues the series of pods that have been released or will be released this year including the Batman Battle Pod (4929), Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916), and Friends Ski Pod (5004920). The latter two Pods are available at Toys R Us. Unlike the other pods in which you can purchase individually, the Darth Vader Pod most likely won’t be unless Toys R Us carries it late next year.
During Black Friday or as LEGO calls it, Brick Friday, there will be a promotion for the limited edition LEGO Seasonal Nutcracker (40254). It consists of 230 pieces and you can get it for free November 24-27 with a purchase of $99 or more or if you’re a LEGO VIP member, you can get it a week earlier from November 18-19.
The December 2017 LEGO Store Calendar is now available and we can now see the promotions and events for the month.
December 1-7: Free The LEGO Ninjago Movie Master Wu Keychain (5004915) with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last.

LEGO has teamed up with Airbnb to give you a chance to win a night at the LEGO House. The only thing is that you must be able to be in Denmark on November 24. Your host will be LEGO deigner Jamie Berard who will take you around the LEGO House. There’s also a surprise for the next day before the LEGO House opens to the public in which you will leave a lasting impression on.
To enter, just go to the link above and answer this question: If you and your family had an infinite supply of LEGO bricks, what would you build? The deadline is November 16.
If you’ve been waiting for it, the new LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) set is also now available on Amazon. It’s at the retail price of $24.99 and has free shipping for Prime members. Like on Shop@Home, there is a limit of two per person. I’ve already done a review of the set and it is a highly recommended set.
Explore the professions of some of the groundbreaking women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the LEGO® Ideas Women of NASA set. It features minifigures of 4 pioneering women of NASA— astronomer and educator Nancy Grace Roman, computer scientist and entrepreneur Margaret Hamilton, astronaut, physicist and entrepreneur Sally Ride and astronaut, physician and engineer Mae Jemison—and 3 builds illustrating their areas of expertise. Role-play space exploration from planning to moon landing, beginning with the iconic scene from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 of Hamilton with software that she and her team programmed. Build the posable Hubble Space Telescope and launch a LEGO version of the Space Shuttle Challenger with 3 removable rocket stages. The set also includes a booklet about the 4 featured women of NASA, and the fan creator and LEGO designers of this fun and educational set.
