Avengers: Infinity War Final Trailer Released

Marvel has released the highly anticipated final trailer for Avengers: Infinity War and it looks very epic. We can see some new scenes that we haven’t seen before and we can somewhat correspond them to some of the LEGO sets that have been released already.

Note that Hawkeye still hasn’t made an appearance in the trailers or promotional products so I assume he’ll be used similar to how Spider-Man was used in Captain America: Civil War.

The movie will premiere in theaters on April 27 but you can now pick up the sets on Shop@Home and on Amazon

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet Review

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet

Back in January, LEGO released an exclusive vintage LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) and if you redeemed it via your receipt, you’re supposed to get the 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet. It looks like they have started to finally ship out and I’ve just received mine after I submitted my receipt at the end of January.

The 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet comes in a standard white mailer and when you take it out, there’s also black envelope with the 60 Years logo wrapped around it. The cover of the booklet is again embossed with the logo and as you can see, they are numbered on the bottom left. My copy is a very low 482/15,000.

Inside you get a history lesson of LEGO and the LEGO brick that is divided in to decades from the 1950’s to the 2010’s. Within each decade, there are some fun facts that you may not have known about unless you’re caught up with every bit of LEGO history. Did you know the first sets with building instruction manuals didn’t come out until 1964?

After that, there’s a nice looking periodic table of LEGO elements that is filled with a variety of parts. The legend at the boom also gives you some of the nomenclature for the LEGO elements.

At back of the booklet, there’s a list of Top 10 LEGO sets of all time as voted by the AFOL community. I’m not sure when or where the voting took place as I don’t remember doing a post about it … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardian’s Ship (30525) Polybag Found at Walmart

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War The Guardian's Ship (30525)

In some lighter news on a polybag found at a retailer that won’t be closing any time soon, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardian’s Ship (30525) is now available for purchase at Walmart. The polybag was originally available on Shop@Home a few weeks ago as a gift-with-purchase but you can get it by itself for $3.97 each. They can be found at the LEGO section of the store. If you want, you can check out my review of the polybag here.

Toys R Us Will be Selling or Closing All US Stores

It looks like the sun will be setting for Toys R Us permanently as The Wall Street Journal has reported that the company will sell or close all of its remaining stores in the United States. The news came from CEO David Brandon in a conference call to employees and it will result in about 33,000 people losing their jobs, me included. It was been reported that Toys R Us will file for liquidation ahead of the court hearing tomorrow. I’ve read that Toys R Us Canada will not be affected but Toys R Us UK will be closing their stores as well.

I started a Toys R Us a few years ago during the holiday season and was actually pretty excited for it. It was busy and I remember working long hours but it was worth it to see kids and adults happy. That all changed recently after the company filed for bankruptcy last year. The mood shifted and everyone was on edge thinking when our last day will be. I honestly still don’t know as the conference call happened after I got off work today. I will probably hear more about it tomorrow.

Just the feeling of walking into a legit toy store is different from your other retailers like Walmart or Target whose selection isn’t as vast as Toys R Us. I’m sure you’ve felt the same way as a child and maybe as an adult as well. I’m just sad that my future children won’t experience the same thing unless another toy-centric … Continue
