LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 15 (71011) To Be Released in February

December 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has announced it yet but in the latest LEGO Club Magazine, there’s a little blurb about the release date of the Series 15 Collectible Minifigures (71011). As you can see below, Series 15 will be available in February along with the Series 7 LEGO Mixels, most likely on February 1st. I know people have been wondering and asking about it since they were revealed a few weeks ago. They’ve usually had a January release the past few years but LEGO has some huge releases next month including the LEGO Nexo Knights, LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827), the Brick Bank modular building, and the rest of the winter wave sets. I have a feeling that LEGO wanted to save something for February and not overwhelm everyone next month. For people across the pond, Shop@Home UK has Series 15 with a January release.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, WhiteFang has already done his review over on Eurobricks. I’ve also done my little feel guide for Series 15 if you’re interested.

Thanks to everyone who emailed/tagged me on this piece of info.

If you’ve been following my posts, you may have seen the report of some of the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets have shown up at various retailers like the Kryptonite Interception (76045) which is based on the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) Round Up

December 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) has been completed yesterday and there were some things that I liked about it and there were things where I wasn’t too impressed by it.

Good

One thing I really liked about this year’s advent calendar is the little sub-themes the builds were separated into like Tatooine, Endor, and Hoth. Even the flap on the box doubles up as a little playmat featuring the destinations.

A were a lot of the models that I really enjoyed including the Sarlaac, Sandcrawler, Imperial Star Destroyer, and the AT-AT, just to name a few.

All of the minifigures this year were pretty good since we didn’t get a Battle Droid for the first time ever in an advent calendar. Of course there are also some standout minifigures like the homage to the Ralph McQuarrie’s 1979 Lucafilm Christmas card with the R2-D2 and C-3PO minifigures. The other minifigures that I liked were Jawa and the Hoth Rebel Trooper which was a little teaser on the character that we’ll get next year.

Bad

There were also some things that I didn’t enjoy as much like the weapon racks we get every year. There were also the ones with the play features which turned to be rather bland like the catapult, the turret, and the Hoth Command Post. Other than that, all the other builds were decent.

I also think the retail price of $39.99 is a little overpriced for what you get but it is … Continue

LEGO 2015 Christmas Employee Gift Borkum Riffgrund (4002015)

You guys may have seen this already but I’ve held off reporting on it because some people might see it as a Christmas spoiler. We’ve seen how generous The LEGO Group is to their employees and for this year, they have some special Christmas gifts for everyone in the company.

First off, there’s a new set floating around on the secondary market called the Borkum Riffgrund (4002015). This 559 piece set is the 2015 Christmas gift that is given out to every employee around the world and is based off the offshore wind farm that LEGO has invested in to help the company reach 100% on renewable energy by 2020.

The other gift that LEGO employees will receive is a extra month’s salary for their hard work according to The Copenhagen Post. This is on top of their regular paychecks and is for all the work the employees have done to help LEGO become the number one toy company in the world. Indeed a very Merry Christmas to everyone that is part of the company.

This is most likely the last free polybag promo for the year at Toy R Us. It isn’t as flashy as the last two free promos but it’s something if you’re doing some last minute Christmas shopping.
