This is essentially the first time that you can earn Double Points on some 2015 sets for various themes including LEGO CIty

Just as we earlier reported that the LEGO Disney Princess Elsa’s Sparkling Ice Castle (41062) have been spotted in various Target locations in the US, I’ve been told that you can now pre-order the set on Amazon
Update: Sorry folks. Apparently the pre-order option has been taken down after 30 minutes of this post going up. Don’t be fooled by the third-party sellers that have prices of $100+.
Can you believe we are already halfway done with the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056)?
For Day 12, we get another mini model from the Original Trilogy, Luke’s Landspeeder. This has got to be the best thing we’ve got out of this year’s Advent Calendar so far. The model captures everything that the Landspeeder is from the design to the colors. Although the design is nice, it has already been used before in the Landspeeder Bag Charm (852245) back in 2008 but with some new colors. Overall, I love this mini model and it’ll be fairly hard to top it during the second half of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar.
Here’s some news that many of you have been waiting for. There are now reports of the LEGO Disney Princess Elsa’s Sparkling Ice Castle (41062) starting to show up at Target stores, most notably in the southeastern states. They might not be on the shelves but the stores may already have shipments in the warehouse ready although they may not be able to sell them. Some of the sets have even shown up on eBay at outrageous prices. For some lucky few, you could possibly find the set in stores before Christmas. If not, it will be widely available on January 1st. There’s a slight chance that other retailers like Toys R Us may release it early as well. I’ll let you guys know if I see them on the floor waiting to be shelved.

Elsa’s Sparkling Ice Castle (41062) is probably one of the most anticipated sets of 2015 but many wondered why LEGO doesn’t release it for the holiday season to catch in on the Frozen craze. LEGO CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp in an interview has noted that, “It’s not so important for us with Frozen.” He also added, “It is definitely across all categories a very strong property, a wonderful movie, but for us, it’s a minor thing.” While the set may not make the best-selling toys list for 2014, it may be a contender in 2015.
Starting today, Toys R Us is having a 2 day sale on select LEGO products. The first deal is a 2 for $5 on the Series 12 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71007). Basically you are saving $3 for every two that you buy which is a pretty good deal considering that they go for $3.99 each. This is an in-store only offer. As you can see from the image above, TRU stores are stocking a whole lot of them. I can personally say that I put out six brand new boxes so if you’re in San Diego and are still looking for them, the La Mesa TRU has them.
The other notable LEGO sale is $15 off for select LEGO Lord of the Rings and LEGO The Hobbit sets including the Lake-town Chase (79013), An Unexpected Gathering (79003), Pirate Ship Ambush (79008), and Battle at the Black Gate (79007). These are pretty good deals for sets that are soon to be retired. This offer is valid for online and in stores.
Thanks to Stephen for the heads up.
As we reported last month, LEGO was planning to produce more of the LEGO Ideas Research Institute (21110). LEGO Shop@Home now has them in stock in limited quantities. They are also planning to distribute more to LEGO Brand Stores within the next two weeks. Be sure to get them while you currently still can.
The Research Institute is available now online with limited quantities, so be sure to order as soon as possible. It is coming soon to LEGO® Brand retail locations and is expected to be available within two weeks.
