LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The December 2017 promotions are now live on LEGO Shop@Home. There really isn’t that much going on at the beginning of the month except The LEGO Ninjago Movie Master Wu Keychain (5004915) with a purchase of $35 or more, while supplies last.
A number of new 2018 sets were released last week includes ones from City, Creator, The LEGO Ninjago Movie, Nexo Knights, and TECHNIC.
The second wave of The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are now officially available in the US. You may have probably gotten a couple of these sets a little early last week but you can now get them in various retailers. The sets that are in this wave include:
Now that the dust has settled down on the announcement of the newest modular building, the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260), let’s talk about how it matches up with the existing modulars. Many fans like the 50’s style of the building while some didn’t like how it looked as it doesn’t match up with the architectural styles of the previous buildings. Another complaint I’ve seen is the use of expressive faces the minifigures will have compared to the traditional classic smiley faces.
Compared to the previous modular buildings LEGO has released so far, how would you rank the new Downtown Diner (10260)?
If you weren’t able to pick up The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609) minifigure polybag bag back in September, it seems that Target is now carrying them in stores as well as online. They are going only $2.99 each or you can get for free with a $29.99 Ninjago purchase or more.
It seems that LEGO is doing more and more of this lately where they are either selling a previous promotional item themselves or having it being sold at another retailer like Target or Toys R Us. This isn’t a bad thing, unless you’re a reseller, because it allows fans to get it again if they for whatever reason missed out on it or didn’t want to make a purchase at the time when the promo was running.
One of the other major reveals today, besides the announcement of the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260), was the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. Here we see a lot of things happening including more of Thanos and the Black Order who are trying to obtain the Infinity Stones.
As we know by now, there will be some LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets that will be coming out in conjunction with the film. I believe there will be at least six sets that will be coming out in the spring. We know that we’ll most likely be getting new variants of the characters as well as Thanos and the Black Order. I’m also interested on seeing how LEGO can improve on the Hulkbuster suit from the Age of Ultron version.
Three fourths of the way in the trailer, we see a bearded Captain America (Nomad) and Black Panther fighting some four-armed aliens. From the earlier reports, we’ll be getting them in a set and their names are roughly called Outriders but that could change.
The Avengers: Infinity War trailer was my most anticipated one for an upcoming movie. Based on previous experiences, we know that the LEGO sets based on films are a mixed bag but I’m excited about them either way, especially for the new minifigure. What are you most hoping to see with these LEGO sets?
Warning: There are some spoilers from Thor: Ragnarok so I suggest not watching the Infinity War trailer until you see the third installment of Thor.… Continue
The LEGO January 2018 Store Calendar has surfaced online and one of the main promotional items for the month is a limited edition 60 Years of the LEGO Brick anniversary set. It will be available with a purchase of $125 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

It also has a similar style to the 2016 LEGO 50 Years on Track (4002016) employee set.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it. I saw it last night but didn’t post due to the impending announcement of the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) that was shown on top of the calendar. I’ll update with a better image when the PDF copy is available.
