Toy Story 4 Teaser Trailer and Rumored LEGO Sets

November 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Disney and Pixar gave us a surprise this morning by dropping the official teaser trailer for Toy Story 4. All of the original characters will be returning and joining them is a new character named Forky who is a spork. The story is still under wraps at this time but in terms of LEGO news, it is rumored that there will be sets for the movie. From what I’m hearing, these sets will be a few LEGO Juniors sets similar to what LEGO did with Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2. Also according to Brickseek, there may also be a LEGO DUPLO set for the movie as well. Toy Story 4 hits theaters on June 21.

LEGO Sets Retiring Soon for 2018

November 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Holiday 2018 catalog should be in your mailbox by now if you’ve elected to receive things in the mail. There’s nothing too special about our version of the catalog but the UK version gives us a look at some of the sets that will soon be retiring. One of our readers Stephen has shared a couple of the pages from the UK LEGO catalog there are sets that you may be interested in picking up before they go away forever. Keep in mind, sets in other parts of the world will retire before the US so it gives us some extra time to get them but know they will be next on the chopping block. Also note that some of the sets show out of stock online but you may still find them in stores.

LEGO Black Friday 2018 Confirmed Promotion Details

November 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days, I reported on some rumored Black Friday 2018 promotions at LEGO and there is now confirmation of these promotions. First, there is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) with purchases of $99 or more. This promo will run in store and online from November 23-26. Next is the LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257) with purchases of $50 or more. This promotion is only available in stores on November 23. I’m sure this will draw some ire from Ninjago fans who don’t have a LEGO Store near them.

Some other Black Friday LEGO promotions include select sale items at LEGO Stores on November 23. In addition, there’s also items that are 30% off at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from November 23-26. Cyber Monday sales on November 26 will have items 20% off. Lastly, if your store still has the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) still in stock, you can get it for 20% off from November 23-26.

Thanks to Ryan for tweeting in the images from the new LEGO Black Friday flyer.
