This might be a little late for some of you but LEGO Shop@Home has an unannounced Mother’s Day promotion for a FREE LEGO Rose (852786) with purchases of $35 or more. The rose comes assembled and is glued together so there’s no building invovled but it does make a nice display model. The promo is an online exclusive and lasts for about 5 more hours as of this post.
Starting today at Toys R Us in stores only, there is a promotion for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag free with purchases of $30 or more. This promotion is slightly better than the one LEGO will be having at the end of the month. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to purchase it individually but your milage may vary. The promotion will last until the end of the week.
If you’re a LEGO Collectible Minifigures completionist, you would know that the DFB German National Football Team (71014) will be released next week in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If you’re lucky to be in those countries or have someone picking them up for you, you would know that the easiest way to find each minifigure is to get a complete box since there’s really no way to feel for them.
Fortuantely, someone from the Singapore Brick Users Group has managed to get a full box and has given a breakdown of how many of each German player will be in a box.
Joachim Löw – Coach
Manuel Neuer – #1
Benedikt Höwedes – #4
Mats Hummels – #5
Jérôme Boateng – #17
Christoph Kramer – #20
Max Kruse – #23
Shkodran Mustafi – #2
Bastian Schweinsteiger – #7
Mesut Özil – #8
Thomas Müller – #13
Mario Götze – #19
Marco Reus – #21
Sami Khedira – #6
André Schürrle – #9
Toni Kroos – #18
I haven’t promoted a LEGO themed t-shirt in a long time but Ript Apparel today has released a new one featuring The Walking Dead’s main antagonist this past season, Negan and his barbed wire baseball bat Lucille. The shirt will starts at $11 and is available for 24 hours at this price.
If you followed one of my previous posts, you would’ve probably found the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag at Toys R Us. It contains only 25 pieces and retails for $3.99. This is also the exact same polybag that will be included in a LEGO promotion from May 27-30 for spending $35 or more.
This version of Captain America has been in a few sets including the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets as well as a couple of the Civil Wars sets but this is the cheapest way to get the minifigure.
The black motorcycle frame is fairly rare as it has only been in two other sets. The motorcycle also has a small sidecar which has a flick-fire missile attached to it with a small clip. The front of the sidecar has another clip to slide Captain America’s shield in.
For what you get with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag, it’s definitely worth looking for at Toys R Us especially if you collect the Super Heroes sets. I would totally spend $4 for it instead of spending $35.
It’s also a little strange that TRU is selling the polybag ahead of a LEGO promo in the same month because that usually doesn’t happen, especially here in the US. If you’re searching for it, the item number is #396626. If the polybags are not on the floor, they’re probably behind a counter somewhere or in the back of house.

This past Saturday, LEGO Brand Stores held a special event for LEGO Users Group (LUG) members for the start of the May the 4th shopping event. Members of various LUGs around the world were invited to the event at their local LEGO Store and there were some LEGO Star Wars exclusives for the event including an Assault on Hoth art poster as well as the Escape the Space Slug set.
The 161 piece set was obtained by spending $150 on LEGO Star Wars sets and I believe they were limited to 28 per store. The box is similar to the exclusive ones that are sold at various conventions like San Diego Comic Con.
The Escape the Space Slug set is based on the scene in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo and the rest of the crew escaped during the Battle of Hoth and went into hiding on the maw of the exogorth.
This particular set shows a small diorama of the scene after the Millennium Falcon flew out of the space slug’s mouth. This set is actually the first time that LEGO has created the Space Slug so that’s pretty neat.
Although there are no new or rare pieces so if you have the correct parts, you can build your own. My friend Joey, who also went to his LUG event, was nice enough to send over a PDF copy of the instructions for me to share so you can download it here. The file is about 14mb so it’s not … Continue
