Yesterday, we did our first of two LEGO Christmas Seasonal sets with the Reindeer (40092). The other Christmas set for the year is the Snowman (40093). The set has 140 pieces and retails for $9.99 for a really good $0.07/piece. The 140 pieces is the second most among the Seasonal creatures for 2014. The box has a small instructions booklet and two un-numbered bags.
The building of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) is pretty straightforward. You start building the base of the Snowman which is pretty bland. Once you get through that and you start the details, he’ll start coming together quickly. When the body is complete, you build the head which is pretty much the same as the body but a little smaller. It has a orange cone for the nose and a horn piece to represent the mouth. You can flip it either way to have him have a smile or a sad face. Some accessories that the Snowman has is the top hat and a broom.

The LEGO One Piece Season 2 sets release in August and pre-orders have been going since early April but there are some price changes for some of the sets since then. LEGO has silently increased the price on three of the seven upcoming sets. From the looks of it, prices have increased by $10 across the board.
Since LEGO already started pre-orders for them, hopefully they will honor the old price but I doubt it. This isn’t the first time LEGO has done this. Last year, there were price increases for the LEGO Jurassic World Rebirth sets shortly after the official announcement.
Showdown with Captain Smoker (75642) – 547 pieces/$59.99 $69.99 (16.67% increase)
Battle at Drum Castle (75645) – 1,038 pieces/$99.99 $109.99 (10% increase)
Garp’s Marine Battleship (75646) – 1,705 pieces/$169.99 $179.99 (5.9% increase)
