A member of AFOLs of Facebook has posted an image from the back cover of the LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving Feast (40123) instructions which shows the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Christmas 2015 sets. The image shows the Winter Fun (40124) set on the left and Santa’s Visit (40125) on the right.
Winter Fun shows an outdoor vignette scene in front of a house and includes 2 minifigures, a husky, and a snowmobile.
Santa’s Visit goes back indoors at a living room fireplace and it includes Santa and a Christmas tree.
There have been numerous reports that the Thanksgiving Feast (40123) set is now available at LEGO Stores. The set will also be on Shop@Home on October 1st.
A few weeks ago, DK sent in one of their upcoming books with Great LEGO Sets: A Visual History
Great LEGO Sets starts off with a visual timeline of some of the important events and key developments in LEGO set history. If you’re a newer LEGO fan, you probably didn’t know that some of the best LEGO sets came out in the 1980s like Blacktron and Futuron including the Monorail Transport System (6990). A few years after that, M-Tron was released as a new LEGO Space subtheme.
The next chapter gives an in-depth description of how a LEGO set is made. A few LEGO designers also chime in to give some information on the whole development process including Mark John Stafford and Jamie Berard, just to name a few. It’s a very interesting chapter of how a set goes from an idea to being on store shelves.
After that, we get to the meat of the book where it starts going in-depth of some notable sets from LEGO’s history. The sets are divided in chapters by decades starting from the 1950s to 2015. For each set, there’s either a one or two page spread detailing some specifics and why they make it a great set. There is a sub-section called the Guided Tour where it shows some key features of the sets. Another section is called Brick by Brick and … Continue
The LEGO Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones free collectible poster promotion is now available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get a free poster for any LEGO Star Wars purchase you make which also works on keychains. If you’ve been collecting these posters, you’ll know this is the fifth poster and there’s only one left after this in October. Like with the other poster, these do come prefolded which is a bummer. The promo ends Sunday, September 27.
There’s now an image of the new exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulk (5003048) minifigure polybag that has shown up on Kijiji Canada. The Hulk is actually minifigure size instead of the bigfigs that we’re used to seeing with the character but in the olive green skin color. The only other Hulk in minifigure form was 5000022 back in 2012 as part of a LEGO promo at Shop@Home and LEGO Stores.
The 27 piece polybag also contains a small ATV as well as a sticker sheet similar to the one in the Rocket Raccoon (5002145) polybag where you can add the stickers to an existing set which I believe is for the Quinjet
The packaging does say Toys R Us on it and if it’s similar to Rocket Raccoon, it’ll be available sometime in the near future as part of a promotion and hopefully available for regular purchase after that. Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
Update: I’ve been told the street date for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulk (5003048) is December 6, 2015.
Apparently this started yesterday but LEGO and Scooby-Doo are teaming up to do a LEGO Scooby-Doo Mystery Tour at select LEGO stores throughout the US and you can participate in some activities and get some cool stuff.
All the post says is to go take pictures with some LEGO Scooby-Doo and Shaggy costumed characters, create a trick or treat bag, and leave with an exclusive model of the Mystery Machine. This is probably a mini version of the van. If you were at the Bridgewater Commons event yesterday, let us know in the comments below of how it was.
