More 2014 LEGO Sets Revealed

August 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today has been a fairly decent day as far as various sources revealing more 2014 LEGO sets. First off is a user by the name of TAFOL on Eurobricks of another LEGO Creator set that was found on back of the instructions book for the Race Car (31017). As you can see from the image above, it is a yellow Quad Bike (31022). The set is a 3-in-1 set so you can also build a Race Car and a Monster Truck. Also, another word for the Race Car (31017) and the Monkey and Toucan (31019) sets. On the same Eurobricks thread, ljames28 has posted the instructions for those sets and notes that the instructions were only from partial booklets so that may suggest that those sets are also 3-in-1 sets.

Over on Brick Owl, they are reporting that there will a new set based on a MINI Cooper that will be released sometime this year. BMW owns the MINI Cooper line and the company already has a licensing agreement with The LEGO Group. There’s no word if it will be a regular sized set or a polybag like the BMW (40200). Nothing official has been announced yet but there’s still a couple more LEGO conventions left in the year as well as New York Comic Con if LEGO decides to reveal them there.

Another thing that was revealed by Brick Owl was a couple more LEGO Architecture sets that will be available later this year and early next year. One is the Marina Bay … Continue

New 2014 LEGO Creator Polybags: Race Car (31017) & Monkey (31019)

August 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

There are a couple new 2014 LEGO Creator polybags that have appeared on Brickset’s database and have gotten people excited, the Race Car (31017) and the Monkey (31019). The Race Car is mostly orange and has a Le Mans Prototype feel to it. It can rebuilt into a Kenworth cabover diesel truck. The Monkey polybag (31019) is comprised of the monkey, a banana, and a toucan. From the reactions I’ve been seeing around the interwebs, this looks to be a hot-selling polybag. The set names are not the official names, just placeholders until LEGO releases the official names. There’s no word yet on how to get these new polybags.

Ewok Village (10236) & Sydney Opera House (10234) Available For LEGO Vips on 8/16/13

August 13, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re a LEGO VIP member (you should sign up if you’re not), you will be able to get the new LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) as well as the LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House (10234) on Friday, August 16th. They will be available in stores as well as on Shop@Home. You have to be signed in with your LEGO ID to be able to purchase it online.

Unless you really like the LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230), I would suggest waiting a couple more weeks for the official release. That way, you can get the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) as well as the LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybags for the Ewok Village. For the Sydney Opera House, you’ll only be eligible for the VW Camper Van with your purchase.

Recreate classic scenes at the Ewok Village!

Travel to Endor™ and visit the treetop home of the Ewoks. Just like in Star Wars™: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, this recreation of the Ewoks’ forest dwelling is packed with cool functions, including the tree-trunk hideout, secret Lightsaber stash, spider web, net traps, slide, catapults and an elevating throne. Use the rammer function to take out the Scout Trooper’s speeder − just like in the movie! Realistic details include rope walkways, vine and leaf elements, kitchen, food storage area, bedroom and a planning room. The Ewok Village set is the perfect addition to your LEGO® Star Wars collection. Includes R2-D2™and 16 minifigures with weapons: Luke Skywalker™, Princess Leia™,

September LEGO Promotions at Brand Stores & Shop@Home

August 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

If you’re not liking the promotions that LEGO has having for August for the FREE LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230) or LEGO Friends Ice Cream Stand (30106), you might want to hold off until September to buy your LEGO sets. As you can see from the image above, there are a couple of nice promotions that LEGO will be having in their stores and on Shop@Home. With any purchase of $75 or more, you can get a brand new, never released before, Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079). The offer is valid from September 1-30. With $50 or more on Star Wars sets, you can get the Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybag which was given out during this year’s Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California. This offer is valid from September 1st through October 31st.

With many new LEGO sets coming out like the Sydney Opera House (10234), the Ewok Village (10236), and all of the recent Summer releases, there are plenty to choose from for the September promotions. It doesn’t say but I think you can double up and get both polybags if you spend $75 or more on Star Wars sets. If you’re thinking of buying sets this month, I would suggest holding off until September for your LEGO purchases.
