Mark your calendars because Toys R Us will be having two LEGO Disney Princess building events in September. Again, these LEGO building events at Toys R Us are very popular and the lines do get very long for a majority of the stores. Sometimes the stores do run out and they have to turn people away so get there early.
Saturday, September 17: 12pm-2pm – LEGO Disney Princess Cogsworth
Saturday, September 24: 12pm-2pm – LEGO Disney Princess Lumiere
A short while ago, Entertainment Earth “revealed” one of the three LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One Buildable Figures for Sergeant Jyn Erso (75119). Again, this isn’t really anything except for the people who weren’t able to see it before a few months ago. Jyn Erso will contain 104 pieces and will retail for $24.99.
There will be two other Buildable Figures in the wave which we hopefully will be able to see again soon with K-2SO (75120) and the Imperial Death Trooper (75121).
LEGO has finally lifted the embargo on the LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One sets and USA Today has officially revealed two of the sets.
The two sets that were given a “sneak peek” are the Imperial Assault Hovertank (75152) and the Rebel U-wing Fighter (75155). We already knew details about the sets a few months back but there were embargo issues even though it was from a legit source, blah, blah. The LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One sets will be available starting on Force Friday, September 30.

If you’re a LEGO Mixels fan, there may be some bad news about the theme. It was reported yesterday by Brickset that the fairly popular theme may be coming to an end after this year. There are some clues into this theory when the show’s producer on Cartoon Network, Jordan Reicheck stated that the last episode will premiere in September.
We already know there will be another wave of LEGO Mixels coming this October with Series 9 but there hasn’t been any information about any future waves and the rumored 2017 set list made no mention of them.
Of course, nothing is really set in stone as the show ending may not mean that the LEGO theme itself is ending. If you enjoyed the theme whether it be the weird characters or because they’re great parts packs, LEGO Mixels did have a good three year run. As people always say, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Earlier today, it was revealed that Toys R Us will be bringing back the LEGO Minifigure Collections for Bricktober 2016 instead of the Mini Modular sets and now we have images of the rest of the month for the event. Just2Good over at Eurobricks has revealed the other three sets for Toys R Us Bricktober 2016 sets which includes the Cops & Robbers Minifigure Collection, Warriors Minifigure Collection, and Athletes Minifigure Collection.
Back in February, it was announced that LEGO will be releasing a new animated series on Disney XD called LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures and in conjunction with the show, there was a couple of sets released as well. LEGO has kindly sent over the two sets for us to review including the Eclipse Fighter (75145) and the StarScavenger (75147). In this post, I’ll be review the smaller set with the Eclipse Fighter. It contains 363 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a pretty good price/piece ratio. The contents of the box include three numbered bags and the instruction booklet.
**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.**
