Upcoming October 2015 LEGO Building Events

There are couple of upcoming LEGO building events for the month of October at various retailers that you and your kids may be interested in. The first is a Toys R Us event on Saturday, October 17 from 12-2pm. As you can see above, there is a free mini LEGO City Kayak that kids can build and take home. Image via Instagram.

The other building event is at Barnes & Noble. On Saturday, October 10 at 2pm, there is a Star Wars themed event that includes a LEGO make and take project. The build will feature the Millennium Falcon. Space is very limited and sign-ups are required so if you plan on attending this one, call or visit your local B&N to reserve your space.

Of course you have the LEGO Monthly Mini Build Event at LEGO Brand Stores on October 6-7. Hopefully you’ve already signed up for that last month.

LEGO Ideas Jurassic Park Explorer Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Jurassic Park Explorer by senteosan is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is the fourth project by senteosan to achieve this feat with two of them still in review. This is the first project to hit 10,000 supporters for the Third 2015 LEGO Review Stage.

The Jurassic Park Explorer features the iconic vehicle from the first movie. The project also includes minifigures of Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm.

DC’s Super Hero Girls Animated Short

USA Today has released the first animated short for the new DC’s Super Hero Girls series. If you remember back in April, Warner Bros. announced that LEGO will also be producing sets based on this series. There’s still no word yet on of the characters of Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, and Katana will be actual minifigures or mini-dolls similar to the Friends and Elves themes. I have a feeling that it’ll be the latter.

The LEGO Group will also be key to building the DC Super Hero Girls franchise, leveraging their experience and success engaging girls in creative construction play to bolster this universe through an array of LEGO® building sets designed to inspire girls’ imaginations.
