Just a few days ago, the new LEGO Seasonal Easter Chick (40202) became available in stores and on Shop@Home. The set contains only 111 pieces and retails the standard $9.99 price point. The contents of the box include a couple of bags and the instructions.
Toys R Us USA has started a new promotion for the week of March 6-12 where you can get a FREE LEGO City ATV Patrol (60065) with any LEGO City purchase of $35 or more. This offer will available in stores only.
The online weekly ad, however, does not mention anything about the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) even though it’s in the system as a promo starting the same day when I checked this morning. I’ll double check again tomorrow but you may want to check with guest services with item #648866 to see if they have it stocked up there.
Well it looks like we might know where to find the recently found LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447). Toys R Us has the polybag listed on their website with item #396626 so we can probably expect it be purchased individually or part of a future promotion. I’ll check on the inventory status of it and see what I can find.
There have been quite a few items listed on Toys R Us recently including the Batmobile (30446) and the Iconic Easter (5004468) but have had a very limited supply online or in stores. I have received emails that the Iconic Easter will be part of a promotion starting Sunday March 6 and it corresponds to what I looked up in inventory for it. Hopefully the weekly ad will show it tomorrow.

A few days ago, Toys R Us released a “new” LEGO Seasonal set with the Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), otherwise known as the Chicken Suit Guy. This set retails for $5.99 and is currently available at Toys R Us stores in the US, if you can find them.
Outside of the box is a sleeve that slips off. The box is very simple looking and there’s nothing too special about it. The shape and artwork for the box resembles a small hen house with some Easter egg around it. The door opens up to reveal the Chicken Suit Guy sitting in one of those black container molds that we’ve seen in the Target Minifigure Boxes.
As for the Chicken Suit Guy, he’s pretty much the same minifigure as from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000). The only notable visual difference from the two is the head on the original one is hollow while the new one is solid. I also noticed the legs on the new one were somewhat more loose than the old one.
Overall, I’m not sure what the purpose of the Iconic Easter (5004468) set is other than being a little Seasonal set that kids can enjoy. As for collectors, this set is a good opportunity to get the Chicken Suit Guy if you missed out on him three years ago. Since the release of this set, the price for the minifigure on the secondary market has dropped dramatically but as with these fairly exclusive sets, some are buying them up in … Continue
The Jurassic Park Visitor Center by LDiEgo is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Here we have another fairly large scale build that is based on the popular movie. The Visitor Center is able to open up to reveal several recognizable rooms in the building like the control room, genetics lab, and the kitchen.
The project now joins the Fossil Museum, the Gingerbread House, the Modular Train Station, the Old Fishing Store, the Jedi High Council, and the Particle Accelerator as the ones that qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage.
LEGO has officially revealed the next LEGO Ideas set with the Maze (21305). The set was conceived by Jason Allemann (JK Brickworks) and it will be available on April 1st for $69.99. Along with the Maze build, the set will also have a removable container to store the balls. Read more about the design process of the Maze (21305) over on their blog post.
LEGO Ideas Maze – The reinvention of a classic!
The latest LEGO Ideas product reinvents the classic ball and labyrinth game, but adds a twist of creative LEGO building to the fun.
Built entirely from LEGO elements, the LEGO Maze consists of a base frame and a simple tip and tilt mechanism made up of LEGO beams and axles. You turn the wheels to move the maze up and down or from side to side guiding the ball away from the traps.
The interchangeable maze system means you can easily swap maze plates without having to rebuild the entire game. Once you’ve mastered the two maze designs included with the set, you will find lots of inspiration to start creating your own mazes using the bricks included or any of your own LEGO elements.
Just a short while ago, LEGO’s Twitter account posted an image of the exclusive Pirate Batman minifigure that will be included in the LEGO DC Comics Character Encyclopedia. The minifigure is almost identical to the Batman that was in Justice League: Cosmic Clash movie.
You can now pre-order the book on Amazon and it will be released on April 5.
