For some day 2 news from the 2015 New York Toy Fair, there were 13 different Toy Fair awards announced this morning and LEGO has won three of them. Thanks to Chad for sending us the news and you can check out the video below.
First is the Preschool Toy of the Year going to the LEGO Juniors Knights’ Castle (10676)
The e-Connected Toy of the Year went to the LEGO Fusion Town Master (21204)
Finally for the Educational Toy of the Year, the LEGO TECHNIC Cargo Plane (42025)
Stepping away for a little bit from the 2015 New York Toy Fair coverage, we have some news to report about the new LEGO Pirates Chess Set (40158). We first reported on this set back last month and we now have an image of what it looks like courtesy of Brickset. The set contains 857 pieces and one of our readers has commented saying that they’ve already picked up this set at LEGOLAND Florida. LEGOLAND shops usually releases sets a little earlier than at LEGO Stores and Shop@Home so if you’re looking to pick up the LEGO Pirates Chess Set up, you might be able to get it early there.
Today at the 2015 New York Toy Fair, LEGO has unveiled the latest LEGO Star Wars UCS set, the TIE Fighter (75095). We were the first site to report that this set would be coming out this year and we can now see it in its full glory. The UCS TIE Fighter contains 1685 pieces and will retail for $199.99. There’s no mentioning of a specific release date for it but our sources told us that it will be available during the May the 4th event.

For our second LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron set review of this wave, we have the Attack on Avengers Tower (76038). The set has 515 pieces and retails for $59.99, around a $0.12/piece ratio. I purchased this set when it was available on Amazon a few days ago but the link has since been taken down. The box contains four numbered bags, two large instruction booklets, a sticker sheet, and a comic.
Our friends at Brick Fanatics has found an interesting article from ToyNews regarding the future of the LEGO Star Wars theme. In a recent interview, LEGO CEO Jørgen Von Knudstorp states that the very popular theme will “stay with us forever because LEGO Star Wars has become a brand in its own right.” Back in 2012, LEGO extended the licensing deal with Lucasfilm, which they’ve had since 1999, for 10 more years until 2022 and it looks like that they’ll keep continuing to do so in the future. The Star Wars Universe is so massive that there’s almost unlimited sets that LEGO can create including the new Constraction Ultrabuild Characters that will be released later this year. Plus there are the three sequel trilogy movies as well as the Han Solo and Boba Fett spin-off movies that can give more sources of inspiration for future sets.
Continuing with the interview, Knudstorp also talks about licensed themes. He notes that LEGO doesn’t want every movie to become a theme but they do like “stories that have longevity” such as LEGO The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Star Wars, and Harry Potter. As we know by now, some movies that turn into sets didn’t pan out as the company would have liked such as Prince of Persia and The Lone Ranger.
Finally, Toy News asked if the LEGO is releasing licensed sets targeted towards adult fans. Knudstorp answers both yes and no and gives an example of the LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108)
The 2015 New York Toy Fair is starting this weekend and LEGO has released four press releases today about the company’s growth last year as well as some themes we can expect to see at the Toy Fair. According to one of the releases, there will be a whopping 313 sets displayed at the American International Toy Fair which is the largest collection displayed so far including LEGO Elves and LEGO Star Wars.
We pretty much know about everything that will be shown at the event but one thing that’s notable on the press release is LEGO finally acknowledging The Simpsons Series 2 Collectible Minifigures (71009) which will be released in May and the Halloween-themed Series 14 Collectible Minifigures in September. So far both waves have only been rumors including the leaked image of the Halloween Monster minifigures which have since been taken down. As usual, I would guess that the minifigures will not be shown there but the boxes will be shown.
As mentioned before, we will be there indirectly as Chad from Brick Fest Live will be sending us images and videos to upload throughout the event. Our coverage will be starting around 7am EST/4am PST on Saturday, February 14.
Brickset has posted a clearer image of the box art for the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Easter set (40121). We first saw this set on the back of the instructions booklet during our review for the Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) set. The 151 piece scene shows a female painting some Easter eggs in a kitchen. While not shown clearly on the front of the box, there is also an oven to bake some cookies.
If you haven’t picked up the Seasonal sets this year, LEGO has shifted from the cute animals to these 8×8 vignettes to represent the different holidays throughout the year. I’ve been told that we can expect to see the Easter set hitting LEGO Stores late February/early March and most likely on Shop@Home on March 1st. There’s no mention of the price for it but I assume it will be $9.99 as usual.
