LEGO July 2014 Store Calendar Details

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Since it is now June, the July 2014 Store Calendar is now available and it appears that next month will be a LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed month. The exclusive Flashback Shredder (5002127) we reported back in April will be available for FREE with purchases of $75 or more. The minifigure is valid from July 1-20 or while supplies last. Also for VIP members, you can get an extra 50 VIP points if you purchase the Turtle Sub Undersea Chase (79121). This offer is valid for the whole month.

From July 7-20, head over to your local brand store and build your favorite Ninja Turtle to display.

From July 14-20, there will be a hunt for hidden Ninja Turtles and Shredder throughout the store. If you find them all, you can get a special prize.

On July 26, the LEGO Club meeting will have a cool Leonardo t-shirt.

In non LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles news, the July Mini Monthly Build on July 1st will be a Beach Van (40100).

There will also be an exclusive set reveal at San Diego Comic Con 2014 on July 24-25. We will be there again this year for the coverage. More on this in a later post.

Finally, from July 18-31, VIPs can get special early access to a new exclusive set. We’ll do a separate post on this later.

More Reports of LEGO UCS Slave I Releasing in 2014

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

DarthAlex92 on Eurobricks has reported that they have some information of a new UCS LEGO Star Wars Slave I that may be released later this year. As we reported last year, there was a rumor already that the Slave I could be coming out this year. So now there are two reports that the Slave I would become an UCS set so it’s plausible that the rumor may be true.

For the details of the UCS Slave I, it will be Boba Fett’s version and will include a brand new Boba Fett minifigure. The model of the Slave I will be similar in size of the new Imperial Star Destroyer (75055).

The information above was acquired by the DarthAlex92 from a LEGO product design manager. What are you thoughts of the new Slave I?

Update: Ed over on Brickpicker “confirms” that the set will have set number 75060 and will be priced at $199.99. Brickset already has the listing in its database as well with the same set number.

First Look at LEGO Minicraft Minifigure-Scale Sets

May 31, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Late last year, we reported that LEGO would be releasing minifigure-scale sets this year. Legosecrets on Brickipedia has posted a couple of images of what could be two of the six sets, The Cave (21113) and The Farm (21114). There’s no confirmation that these are the official sets and could be just prototypes.

The image of The Cave shows Steve on top of a lava waterfall with a Zombie below. The Farm shows Steve outside in his farm with a Skeleton in the back and a couple of cows. Both sets look to have a crafting table included as well.

Again, these sets may not be the official ones that are released this year but it gives an idea of what they could eventually look like. Sound off in the comments on what are you guys’ initial impressions on the minifigure-scale sets.

LEGO Legends of Chima Worriz Bike (30265)

Brickset has reported on a new LEGO Legends of Chima polybag (30265) featuring Worriz on a bike. The set was discovered on Russian site Mir Kubikov and the bike has a very similar look to the DC Universe Robin and Redbird Cycle (30166). It will fit in with the Summer 2014 wave of Chima sets and we can probably expect to see it here in the US later this year.

Will the LEGO Ecto-1 Have the Curiosity Mars Rover Effect?

LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104)

If you’ve been looking to get your hands on the LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover from Shop@Home, you are most likely out of luck. The set has been completely sold out for a few months now and will not be sold again. There were times when the set would be up for purchase again but they would be quickly sold out in a few hours. It looks like the secondary market will be your best chance to get it such as eBay, Amazon, or BrickLink.

This brings me to the latest LEGO Ideas product that will be hitting the shelves in a few days, the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). Seeing that Ghostbusters is a more well known entity than the Mars Curiosity Rover, it will probably sell out and go temporarily out of stock when it becomes available on June 1st. LEGO Brand Stores will also be selling them on that day, at least mine will, so you may be able to snag one there as well. Normal LEGO sets usually have about a two year shelf life but some sets are very exclusive with a limited production run such as the Rover and 4×4 Crawler Exclusive Edition (41999). To fans of both LEGO and Ghostbusters, many people will probably purchase multiple sets, one to build and one to save. Others such as investors and resellers will most likely get multiples as well for their means. Does the … Continue

New Guinness World Record for Tallest LEGO Tower Set in Hungary

May 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Hungary has set a new world record for the tallest LEGO tower in front of Saint Stephen’s Basilica. The constructed tower in Budapest is 34.76 meters high and broke the former record of 34.43 meters high held by the Red Clay Consolidated School District back in August of last year. The last piece of the tower was placed by the city’s 5th district, Mayor Antal Rogan. It took four days for official Danish LEGO builders with the help of school children to construct the tower. It will be deconstructed on Monday, May 26.
