2017 LEGO Brand Retail Manager’s Conference Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

December 4, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every year at the LEGO Brand Retail Manager’s Conference, managers who attend get a very exclusive minifigure and it looks like the 2017 on at Atlanta has been revealed. As you can see above, the minifigure is dressed up in a magician’s outfit over the yellow LEGO Store apron. The description says that the quantity produced might be under 60. This set has popped up on eBay even though the cardboard in the clamshell says “Not for Resale.” If you have a cool $5,500 laying around, this exclusive minifigure can be yours. If you didn’t see it yet, the seller also has the 2015 Zombie and 2016 Zack available as well.

Thanks to Ziggy for the heads up.

LEGO Seasonal Gingerbread Man Available Again at LEGO Store via Flyer

November 28, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With three weeks left in the holiday shopping season, LEGO is sending out fliers to VIP members to incentive them with another returning promotional product. When you present the flyer above to a LEGO Store along with a $10 purchase or more, you can get the LEGO Seasonal Gingerbread Man (5005156) for free, until December 23. This is the same promo item from last year and if you missed it, you’ll have another chance to get it if you live by a LEGO Store and have the required flyer. This is the second returning promotional to be returning this year with the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) being available for purchase again on Shop@Home.

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Snowglobe (40223) Now Available on Shop@Home

November 28, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223)

If you missed out on the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) promotion from last year, LEGO is now selling it on Shop@Home for $9.99 with a limit of five per customer. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing that LEGO is selling previous promotions as customers had to spend at least $99 to get it originally however this may start a trend of LEGO reselling their previous promo items at a later time for those who missed it. Let me know what you guys think about LEGO reselling the Snowglobe in the comments. Check out my review of the Snowglobe here.

LEGO Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) Image Surfaced

November 24, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It looks like the LEGO Iconic promotions will be continuing next year as an image of the LEGO Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) has surfaced over on Bouwsteentjes.info. The set is similar to what we’ve had in the past with the cardboard box and a minifigure to represent the event which will be a guy with bunny ears. It looks like it will also come with a paintbrush and an egg as accessories but we’ll have to wait and see.

LEGO Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) continues the line of these small promotional sets which started with the Easter (5004468) and Gingerbread Man (5005156) from 2016 and the Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) from earlier this year.

There’s no information at this time on when or how to get this set but I’ll definitely let you guys know when the details are available a future LEGO Store Calendar.

Thanks to CM4Sci for the heads up.

LEGO Building Bigger Thinking Mission to Mars (10405)

Back in August, I talked about some LEGO 60th anniversary sets and it looks like we get to see the official images of the sets with the theme called Building Bigger Thinking. As mentioned before, there will be five sets and they have builds that pay homage to a classic LEGO theme such as Space, Castle, Pirates, and Town which you can see from the images. You’ll also notice that they also include a 60 year printed 2×4 tile to signify the 60th anniversary of the brick.
