LEGO January 2015 Promotional Polybags Now Available on Shop@Home

December 31, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you still have some older sets to purchase from LEGO Shop@Home, you may want to know that the new 2015 promotional polybags are now available as of yesterday and they do stack.

You can get a FREE LEGO Star Wars At-DP (30274) with any LEGO Star Wars purchase during the month of January. For the FREE LEGO Creator Flower Cart (40140), you need a purchase of $75 or more in your shopping cart. Finally, for the LEGO Friends Mini Golf (30203) polybag, you just need to get any LEGO Friends item.

I tested it with a larger set that I know will cover the criteria to get both the AT-DP and Flower Cart polybags and threw in a random Friends set and sure enough, they all show up in the shopping cart.

If you don’t have anything left to purchase this year, I would hold off one more day when all the new 2015 sets will be available tomorrow. Thanks to Chris for the heads up yesterday.

LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag December 2014 Review

December 29, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I recently received the December 2014 Brick Builders Club but didn’t have time to review it due to my abnormal work schedule but it’s still December so let’s see what we got this month.

The first thing you see when you open up the box is the guaranteed exclusive t-shirt that you get every month. This month’s shirt is a winter based shirt with some minifigures in an ice cube tray with the caption “Chill Out.”

The next items are the Funky Fig cards designed by The Mad Stacker. Again, there are five collectible cards that feature various minifigure characters in Garbage Pail Kids style. The groups that these cards belong to are the Champion Chumps and the City Slickers.

Next are some stickers which again are winter-based and shows some different designed brick-built snowflakes.

The next item in the box is courtesy of The Brick Show with their battery-powereed Black Street Lamp with Yellow Light. This allows you to creates scenes that give a warmer light. Although it is not an official LEGO product, it is compatible with LEGO bricks. You can also order this item at The Brick Show Shop for $6.99.

As usual, we also get a Brick Builders Club Parts Pack with items from Brick Warriors. The items included in the pack are a pair of crutches which are still attached to the plastic that you break off, an English Longbow, a Quiver, a Plague Doctor Hat, a Lizardman Shield, and a Magic Wand. The total cost of the Parts Pack … Continue

December 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Seasonal Valentine's Day 2015 (40120)

Christmas is over and it’s time to talk about the next major holiday that drives sales here in the US and that is Valentine’s Day. Like this year, it looks like LEGO will be releasing sets based on certain holidays throughout 2015.

For Valentine’s Day, there will be a small vignette set (40120) showing what appears to be a marriage proposal. The set will have 114 pieces and probably retail for $9.99 and it shows a couple at a restaurant with a engagement ring for the female. There is also a small gift box to hold the ring. The set will most likely be available sometime in January at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

Update: If you’re near LEGOLAND California in San Diego (Carlsbad), I’ve been told that the set is available at the shop. Thanks Charlie for the heads up.

More LEGO Super Heroes Summer 2015 Set Details

December 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Yesterday, we reported on some rumors of the Summer 2015 wave LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes as well as LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. Groove Bricks has some additional information from a LEGO Store employee who spilled some beans regarding the sets, more importantly, the minifigures that we could possibly see in 2015.

With the DC sets, apparently some pretty popular characters will be appearing in minifigure form including Deathstroke and Teen Titans Starfire and Beast Boy. Since it’s still too early for images of the minifigures, you can get an idea of what the characters look like if you’ve played LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

For the Marvel side, it was mentioned that a new variant of Spider-Man will be coming out. No word yet on which variant it could be since there are plenty to choose from. My fingers are crossed for Ben Reilly’s Scarlet Spider or Superior Spider-Man. Another minifigure that was stated that would be coming out was Iron Spider. If you’re not familiar with the comics, the Iron Spider Armor was created by Tony Stark and given to Peter Parker during the Spider-Man: The Other storyline and was also used during the Civil War storyline.

Yesterday, we mentioned that a rumored Sandman minifigure will be coming out next year and GB’s contact confirms that we will indeed be getting one as well as a Rhino minifigure with a brick-built suit. I’m not sure how LEGO will be pulling that off since Rhino’s suit is bonded with his body. I would … Continue

LEGO Super Heroes Summer 2015 Set Rumors

December 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just2Good is back with another video with information about the Summer 2015 wave of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets as well as the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets.

For DC there will be a “Jokerland” set. This kind of sounds similar to The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape (6857) from 2011/2012. The other DC set is a Batman Water Chase. From the sound of it, my guess is the set is probably a small $20 one which may include Killer Croc as J2G speculates.

For the Marvel Super Heroes side, there is again mention of an Ant-Man set. This also confirms the rumors from a few months ago from Hulk_Smash that there will be a set that includes Ant-Man. The other Marvel set mentioned is rumored to include Sandman which probably means that a Spider-Man set(s) is coming next year.

LEGO Minecraft Minifigure Scale Summer 2015 Set Rumors

December 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just2Good over on YouTube is back with some information about the new LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale sets. His source states that there will be another wave coming in Summer 2015 and the following list are the sets that are rumored to come out:

The Dungeon (21119)
The Snow Hideout (21120)
The Desert Outpost (21121)
The Nether Fortress (21122)

There’s no other details than that but at least we know that another wave will be released next year. From the looks of this current LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale wave, they do pretty decent and seem to be flying off the shelves, at least at my Toys R Us. Expect to see the set images in the upcoming months.
