LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Releasing April 16

April 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Get your wallets ready! The Spring 2018 LEGO Store Catalogs are now showing up in mailboxes for those who are still getting mail and inside we get more information of some of the upcoming set releases. For the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, we’ve gotten a general mid-April release date for them but the catalog finally gives a firm release date for them as next Monday, April 16, at least here in the US.

Hopefully, LEGO has learned their lesson from the previous LEGO Jurassic World sets and made enough to go around as a few sets from the last wave had pretty limited quantities. I have a feeling that a few of these sets will be very popular among fans including the classic Jurassic Park set. Below are the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets that will be coming out next week.

Pteranodon Chase (75926) – $19.99 | 126 pieces

LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Transport (75933) First Look

April 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

You may have thought that you’ve seen all of the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets but Walmart has another set that we haven’t had an official image of which is the T. rex Transport (75933). Yes, there was an image of the set on eBay but I didn’t want to report on that earlier. It has 609 pieces but the price point is still a mystery at this time. The minifigures in the set include Zia Rodriguez and two guards but you also get a baby dino as well as a full-sized T-Rex. This set was thought to be a Toys R Us exclusive but it looks like it’ll be available at Walmart as well as on Shop@Home.

Track the Tyrannosaurus Rex in this big-action play set scene inspired by Jurassic World and return it to the transporter, featuring a single-seater truck, detachable container with opening and lockable side panels, and a mobile laboratory unit.

This T. rex toy includes 3 minifigures and 2 dinosaur figures.

Includes 3 minifigures: Zia and 2 guards, plus 2 dinosaur figures.

Features a single-seater truck and a detachable trailer with a containment unit that has opening and lockable side panels, landing gear, plus a mobile medical unit and monitoring system with 2 transfusion leads.

T. rex features posable limbs, head and snapping jaws.

Weapons include a gun stud shooter and a shock prod.

Unlock the containers side panels and stage a T. rex escape!

Remove the mobile laboratory unit from the transporter and attach the leads to the dinosaurs

LEGO Star Wars Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212)

There are various reports that the new LEGO Star Wars Solo sets have started to show up at various Walmart stores including the new Kessel Run Millennium Falcon. Also found there was the non-Solo themed sets with Yoda’s Hut. It looks like street dates have been bypassed and people were able to purchase them without any issues but your mileage may vary on that as some stores might not allow it. If you have found some of these sets, let us know in the comments where at. Keep in mind that they will also be available in May just in time for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and its promotions.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 Promotions Revealed

April 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO catalogs have started to show up in mailboxes and it shows some of the promotions we can expect to see during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event that is happening from May 4-6. As I stated before, LEGO has not revealed the May 2018 Store Calendar to keep the promotions a secret but the cat is out of the bag now. Let’s go over the promos, shall we?

As you can see from the image above provided to me by Jeff on Twitter, the main promotion is the LEGO Star Wars Mini BB-8 polybag with a purchase of $75 or more on May 4th only. This is the building version of the character which is similar to what we got last year with R2-D2.

We can also get Double VIP Points during the whole promotional period which is expected.

There will be select LEGO Star Wars items on sale at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home including Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter.

Finally, the recently revealed UCS Y-Wing (75181) will be available for purchase for $199.99.
