LEGO Ideas First 2016 Review Stage Results Coming at End of September

The Second 2016 Review Stage deadline has now passed and there are a whopping twelve projects that qualified to be reviewed by the LEGO Jury. This also means that the Third 2016 Review Stage is underway and will go all the way until January 9, 2017.

While all of that is happening, LEGO is finishing up another review and has announced that the results for the First 2016 Review Stage will be revealed at the end of September. In that Review Stage, there are nine amazing projects that qualified including Fossil Museum, Gingerbread House, Modular Train Station, Old Fishing Store, Jedi High Council, Particle Accelerator, Jurassic Park Visitor Center, Rolling BB-8, and Johnny Five. Let us know in the comments which one(s) from that list are you hoping will become an official LEGO Ideas set in the near future?

LEGO Star Wars StarScavenger (75147) Review

LEGO Star Wars StarScavenger (75147)

With my second review of the LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures sets sent over by LEGO, I have the larger of the two sets with the StarScavenger (75147). I’ve already reviewed the Eclipse Fighter (75145) a few days ago. It consists of 558 pieces and retails for $49.99. Like with the other set, this is a pretty good price to piece ratio which rarely happens with licensed sets. The contents of the box include five numbered sets, the instruction booket, and a small sticker sheet. I think my set had an error because I got two sticker sheets.

**WARNING: If you haven’t watched LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, I suggest watching it over on Disney XD as it does have an interesting original storyline which is set between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. There will be some minor spoilers in the reviews.**

LEGO Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) Coming in October

LEGO Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222)

A few days ago, I posted the October 2016 Store Calendar which I’ve updated with higher quality scans as well as the back page for it. One of the things that I want to feature on it is the FREE exclusive Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) with purchases of $99 or more from October 1-25, while supplies last. The set is pretty much another advent calendar which contains 250 pieces and contains 24 different builds including a train, plane, Christmas tree, snowman, reindeer, candy cane, dog, fireplace mantle, and more.

This Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) is a nice change to the usual LEGO Star Wars, City, and Friends Advent Calendars which are starting to be more of the same each year. The set will be available for North America starting in October and I’m not sure if Europe and other countries will be getting the promo so you’ll have to check your own stores to see what they have available then.

LEGO 2016 Advent Calendars Now Available

LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar (75146)

If you’re wanting to pick up the LEGO 2016 Advent Calendars, they are now available for purchase on Amazon and on Shop@Home. If you’re unfamiliar with purchasing the LEGO Advent Calendars, they do sell very quickly as stock usually runs out before or around Thanksgiving time especially for the LEGO Star Wars one. Although it’s still a little too early to open them, it’s not too early to purchase them early and have them stashed away until December.
