If you don’t know, people who are lucky enough to work at LEGO are able to get some snazzy gifts that are not available to anyone else unless you find them on the secondary market. Brickset has uncovered the 2014 LEGO employee gift which has already shown up on German eBay, the LEGO HUB Birds (4002014). This 487 piece set features five different birds including a robin, crane, swan, eagle, and another bird that I can’t identify. This set would go great with the upcoming LEGO Ideas Birds (21301) set which will be available to everyone on January 1st. I’m also curious to what LEGO HUB is about. If you’re a LEGO employee, please comment below if you know what LEGO HUB is.
Update: The Hubs are the different LEGO offices throughout the world and the birds represent the national birds of each country: Robin (UK), Crane (China), Swan (Denmark), Eagle (USA), and Crimson Sunbird (Singapore).
A few days ago, we reported that a peculiar product listing on SpeelGoed NL had the set number 71016 which would be released in August 2015. It was rumored to be the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart which we first talked about back in October.
I now have information that the set number is indeed correct but the release date is different. A reader by the name of Steve has said that LEGO VIP members will be able to purchase the Kwik-E-Mart early on April 15-30 which means that it will be available to the general public on May 1st.
There are no details other than that but at least we know that we can get our hands on it a few months earlier than what was reported a few days ago. Stay tuned as we get closer to the release date with information about piece count, pricing, and images of the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016).
There is another 2015 LEGO polybag that has shown up on LEGO’s servers and this one is from LEGO Legends of Chima called Iceklaw’s Mech (30256). The Ice Bear tribe is a new tribe being introduced in next year’s sets and it looks like Iceklaw will be exclusive to the polybag so far. The polybag itself contains 39 pieces and features a cool looking mech. There’s no word on how it will be distributed at this time. We’ll let you know if it starts to show up in stores.
Update: People have been commenting that they are available at Target for $3.99 each.

Just like that, we’re already on Day 10 of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056).
Amazon will be having a Lightning Sale today at 5:30pm PST for the LEGO The Hobbit Dol Guldur Ambush (79011)
If you’re heading out to a Target, you may want to check the usual spots for a new LEGO polybag that’s starting to show up in stores. A new LEGO Friends Smoothie Cart polybag (30202) has been spotted in the wild for $3.99 each. It contains 37 pieces and features Olivia selling smoothies.
