LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) Polybag Review

June 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

During the better part of June, LEGO Stores and Shop@Home will be giving out the LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) polybag as part of the June 2014 gift with purchase promotion. The set consists of 66 pieces and it is free with purchases of $75 or more.

Minifigures

There are two minifigures in this little polybag, the balloon vendor and a young boy. The vendor wears your old-style uniforms that you would have seen back in the day. He wears a red tie and a grey striped vest with a pocketwatch in one of the pockets. He only has a single-sided head with a happy expression and wears a red hat.

The boy has a red shirt on with dark blue sleeves The shirt has some sort of design on it. Not sure what it is but it’s interesting. He also has dark blue short legs. One nice thing that he has is the double-sided head. On one side, he is extremely happy to get a balloon. On the other opposite side, he is sad and is even shedding a tear, probably due to the fact that his balloon flew away or wasn’t given one.

Build

The first thing that you see after you finish building the balloon cart is that it is very colorful. There are four balloons in the set: orange, red, lime green, and medium azure. On one end of the cart, you got your red and orange helium tanks that are as large as the kid. In the middle, you have a … Continue

One More Week for LEGO Balloon Cart Polybag Promo

June 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This is just a reminder that you only have about a week left to make your purchases at the LEGO Store or Shop@Home if you want to get your hands on the FREE promotional LEGO Creator Balloon Cart (40108) polybag. According to the June 2014 Store Calendar, it states you have until June 15th to get one with purchases of $75 or more. However on Shop@Home, it says the end of the promotional period is actually June 22nd or while supplies last (see below).

A reason for the date difference could be because the stores are being just cautious since some promotional polybags run out very quickly like the Martian Manhunter back in March. I would suggest calling the stores after tomorrow if you’re planning to head out to the store to ensure they still have some in stock to give away. Most stores will still continue passing them out even past the date stated on the calendar. If they are out, you still have at least a week before the promotional period ends to get your orders in.
