LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) Giveaway

March 27, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is Easter Sunday and to celebrate, I’m going to do a giveaway for the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468). For those in the US and Canada, you already know that this set is fairly rare as it was only available for a very short time on LEGO Shop@Home and and at Toys R Us. Even at TRU, it was hard to find since most stores didn’t have them on the shelves and were holding them behind the guest services desk or people have been buying them up in bulk since there was no limit.

I did purchase one extra set for this giveaway and the rules are the same as other giveaways, just do the objectives in the widget below. The contest is worldwide and shipping is included. It will run for a week until April 3, 2016 and which I will announce the winner after.

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) Cancelled From Shop@Home Orders

March 16, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 30 Comments

For some reason, the recently released LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) has been rather popular among LEGO fans. If you followed my post this past weekend, Shop@Home North America had an unannounced promotion for the Chicken Suit Guy Minifigure for only a few hours while supplies lasted. Those who placed an order for it during that short period of time would have potentially gotten one as it was a nice incentive to make a purchase. That’s until the last couple of days when people, including me, started getting emails that the Iconic Easter Minifigure has exceeded LEGO’s expectations and were no long available and thus being cancelled from the order.

I have a feeling that this piece of news may upset a lot of people who were affected and were looking forward to getting the set. If you’re still looking for it, your local Toys R Us store might still have them in stock. The last time I checked at my store, they were up at guest services behind the counter but that may vary with your store. The item number is #648866.

Were any of you affected because of the cancellation?

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468) Review

March 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A few days ago, Toys R Us released a “new” LEGO Seasonal set with the Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), otherwise known as the Chicken Suit Guy. This set retails for $5.99 and is currently available at Toys R Us stores in the US, if you can find them.

Outside of the box is a sleeve that slips off. The box is very simple looking and there’s nothing too special about it. The shape and artwork for the box resembles a small hen house with some Easter egg around it. The door opens up to reveal the Chicken Suit Guy sitting in one of those black container molds that we’ve seen in the Target Minifigure Boxes.

As for the Chicken Suit Guy, he’s pretty much the same minifigure as from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000). The only notable visual difference from the two is the head on the original one is hollow while the new one is solid. I also noticed the legs on the new one were somewhat more loose than the old one.

Overall, I’m not sure what the purpose of the Iconic Easter (5004468) set is other than being a little Seasonal set that kids can enjoy. As for collectors, this set is a good opportunity to get the Chicken Suit Guy if you missed out on him three years ago. Since the release of this set, the price for the minifigure on the secondary market has dropped dramatically but as with these fairly exclusive sets, some are buying them up in … Continue

LEGO Minifigure Iconic Easter (5004468) Now Available Online at Toys R Us

February 27, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

If you’re looking to purchase the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), aka the Chicken Suit Guy, you can now purchase it online at Toys R Us. As of this writing, it is available for Ship-To-Home for $5.99 each.

The Chicken Suit Guy is the same minifigure from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000) but it also comes with a cardboard box as well. The main reason why people are looking for him is because they’re going for a pretty steep amount on the secondary market and this is a cheaper way to get him. I’m not sure how many they have in stock online but hurry if you want to get one.

Update: It’s sold out online. Your best bet to get one is to sign up for their notifications for when they return to stock or keep checking in stores.

Update 2: It’s available again online and some stores have reported to have them in stock.

The LEGO Seasonal Easter Chick (40202) has started to show up at LEGO Brand Stores and on the back of the instructions, we get a sneak peek at the Halloween 2016 Seasonal set for 2016 which is a Vampire with a small bat. Again, the build will be a builable character and honestly, I like the head for the Vampire. Thanks to Sophie from LLC for the email.
