Well we’re down to the final three days of the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) and usually we get minifigures during the last few days.

It looks like LEGO BIONICLE fans are getting a sneak peek at some new stuff. Earlier today, Kim from the LEGO Community Engagement team sent over images and a short excerpt from an upcoming LEGO BIONICLE graphic novel called Gathering of the Toa by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. The book will be available on December 29 and it’ll be available in paperback, hardcover, or on the Kindle. Although I’m not into BIONICLE, I know there are readers who are interested in the theme.
On the mythical island of Okoto, the forces of darkness are on the move. To defeat evil, the island Protectors call on the help of six elemental heroes known as the To a. Join Tahu, Kopaka, Onua, Gali, Lewa, Pohatu, and Ekimu as they discover their powers and gather together to fight the hordes of Skull Spiders and the oncoming darkness.
Also includes a never-before-seen look into the secret world of Bionicle in THE OKTO PROTECTORS GUIDE.
The first in an epic graphic novel series of new stories and action-packed adventures following the heroes of Okoto. Features exclusive content that provides maps, myths, and more!


The holidays are for giving and being thankful for what we have. For some, they might not be as fortunate as others and this is where the story begins. The guys over at Brickpicker has emailed me about a fundraiser raffle they are doing to help keep Ed’s son school open which you can read in the link above. Long story short, the school is struggling to stay open and the guys are holding a raffle for a chance to win some retired LEGO sets, which comes from their own collection, and the proceeds will go directly to St. Paul School including:
Sealed Case of 64 Series 10 Collectible Minifigures (71001)
Creator Town Hall (10224)
Monster Fighters Haunted House (10228)
Star Wars Death Star (10188)
Star Wars UCS R2-D2 (10225)
The raffle tickets are $10.00 each for a particular item and for $50.00, you can get an entry for all the sets. The school needs $200,000 by the end of January and hopefully I’m able to spread the word about it on my little corner of the internet. Even though not every LEGO collector is a reseller, Brickpicker has been a great asset to the community with their price guides and I wish them the best on this campaign.

Earlier this month, I’ve done reviews on the three new LEGO Architecture 2016 skyline sets with Venice (21026), Berlin (21027), and New York City (21028). LEGO, in addition, has also provided one of the landmark sets with the Burj Khalifa (21031). It contains 333 pieces and will retail for $39.99. The contents of the box include two un-numbered bags and the instruction booklet.

From now until Thursday, December 24 at Toys R Us stores, you can get a free LEGO Creator Seasonal Christmas Tree (30286) polybag with purchases of $30 or more on LEGO sets, excluding LEGO Dimensions. This is most likely the last free polybag promo for the year at Toy R Us. It isn’t as flashy as the last two free promos but it’s something if you’re doing some last minute Christmas shopping.
