As we get closer to May 1st when all the new LEGO Jurassic World sets will be available, companies are starting to add the products to their websites. Toys R Us is the first US site, that I know of, to do so with the Indominus Rex Breakout (75919). We get some clearer official images of the set as well as the set description for the set.

LEGO May 2015 Store Calendar Promos & Events

March 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Thanks to one of our loyal readers Bruce, we now have a scan of the May 2015 LEGO Store Calendar that shows the promotions and events for the month. The main promotion for the month is the May the 4th Be With You promo (May 2-4) which happens every year with the release of the latest Ultimate Collector Series set. For this year, we have the LEGO Star Wars UCS TIE Fighter (75095) which was revealed last month. The set will have 1,685 pieces and retails for $199.99.

Also only during the May the 4th event, for LEGO Star Wars purchases of $75 or more, you’ll get the FREE exclusive Admiral Wullf Yularen (5002947) minifigure polybag while supplies last. This will be the first physical LEGO minifigure of the character.

From May 15-31, with purchases of $50 or more, you can get a FREE LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man Super Jumper (30305) polybag.

On May 1st, the new LEGO The Simpsons The Kwik-E-Mart (71016) will be available to the general public as well as the LEGO The Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures (71009). The Kwik-E-Mart will be available for VIP Members from April 15-30.

On May 5, the FREE Monthly Mini Model Build will be a Koala (40130).

From May 13-31, VIPs yet again get early access to a new exclusive set. My source has told me that it will be the LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel (10247). So far, they haven’t been wrong on the promos and releases so it’s safe to say that this will … Continue

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game “Exclusive” Minifigure Revealed

March 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We all know that it’s tradition now that LEGO video games will be including an exclusive minifigure and we’ve been patiently waiting for the minifigure reveal for the LEGO Jurassic World video game. Jurassic Bricks has found that Amazon.de has revealed the minifigure and it’s going to make a lot of people sad and/or disappointed. As you can see from the image above, we’ll be a Dr. Henry Wu minifigure which is pretty much the exact same one as in the Indominus Rex Breakout (75919) set.

As a fan of Jurassic Park, I would’ve thought that one of the main characters from the first movie like John Hammond, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, or Ian Malcolm would be a great minifigure and be more exclusive but instead we get one that will already be in an upcoming set. Not only that, it’s the exact same minifigure. Hopefully this is for the German release of the LEGO Jurassic World video game and the US version will get their own exclusive but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Update: Gamestop and Target has revealed their pre-order exclusives for the game.

Now is a good time to pick up some of the larger sets to get the most bang for your buck such as Maersk Line Triple-E (10241) or sets that are retiring like the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109).

LEGO Ideas One Year Deadline Approaching

March 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, LEGO CUUSOO made the transition to LEGO Ideas and all the active projects that were grandfathered in had 365 days to get 10,000 supporters. If you want to show your support for these older projects, you essentially have one month or 31 days, to be exact, before they are archived by the system.

Below are the top projects that have over 8,000 supporters with a month left that could use your support if they don’t already for the final homestretch.

Update: GlenBricker is running a LEGO Ideas Deadline Bracket over on his website of projects that are in their final days.
