The new LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) is now available for VIP members so I decided to take a stroll over to my local LEGO Store in Fashion Valley to take a look at it. From what I saw, it seems to be a really popular set at they were flying off the shelves. I was told that their stock may not last through the weekend although there will be more coming in after.

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

As mentioned in the July 2014 Store Calendar, there will be a new exclusive set available for LEGO VIP members from July 18-31. It’s still a month or so away so LEGO hasn’t released the details of the set yet although they may do it at Brickworld Chicago later this month or Brick Fiesta next month. If I were to guess on which set it could be, my guess is the MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) that we reported on back in April. You can read more about the rumored details of the MINI Cooper in the link in the previous sentence. What are your guesses on what the exclusive set will be? Sound off in the comments below.

Update: If it MINI Cooper is revealed at an upcoming LEGO convention, it will be $99.99, per Ed of Brickpicker.

April 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

There is some news coming out of Dutch retailer Speelgoedn1.nl of some new LEGO sets coming out later this year. The first set is the MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) which we teased about last year.

The site also mentions that there are also fog lamps. The MINI Cooper is the third vehicle set that is not tied into a particular theme following the Volkswagen Beetle (10187) and the Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220). It is possible that the MINI Cooper will be available on May 15th as the early VIP exclusive set.

The next set that is mentioned to be released this year is Santa’s Workshop (10245). LEGO will be continuing the Seasonal theme again to add to your Winter Village. This set will have six minifigures: Santa, Mrs. Claus, and four elves.

The final set that is revealed is the Carnival set (10244) which will fit into the Modular theme. Some details of the set includes a glow in the dark feature and has a whopping 12 minifigures including a juggler on stilts, a man dizzy from the ride, two boys, two girls, and more.
