Summer 2013 LEGO Castle Gold Getaway Review & Set Photos 70401

Skeleton Minifigure Drives LEGO Gold Getaway 70401 LEGO Castle Set

My heart lit up earlier this week when I located the new Summer 2013 LEGO Castle sets for the very first time. Then my excitement took a bit of a nosedive when I realized that the store didn’t get in the LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain set with its big, scary red LEGO dragon–the set I really wanted. Even so, there was no chance of me going home empty-handed, so I snagged the new LEGO Castle 2013 set that looked the best to me from what was available: the LEGO Gold Getaway 70401. Seeing the LEGO Castle Gold Getaway set as a consolation prize, I didn’t expect much from it. Now that I’ve built and played with it, I’m ready to change my tune…

LEGO Chima CHI Razar Buildable Figure Set Review & Photos 70205

70205 LEGO CHI Razar Review Legends of Chima Summer Sets

Confession time: I have never in my life bought, built or even played with a LEGO Bionicle toy. It’s not that I have anything against those types of LEGO sets–I’ve just never been real interested in LEGO sets that aren’t your typical brick-built fare, so I’ve never cared enough to pay attention to one. Until now. My wife’s eyes lit up when she saw the new LEGO Legends of Chima Buildable Figure sets in person last night, and she insisted on coming home with LEGO Chima CHI Razar 70205 and building it right away. And you know what? It’s really not that bad. And by “not that bad”, I mean that I’m totally astounded that the LEGO CHI Razar figure is such a super-fun toy…

Summer 2013 LEGO Galaxy Squad Sets Released in US Stores & Photos!

LEGO Galaxy Squad Hive Crawler Summer 2013 Set Box Back

If there’s one LEGO theme that I had absolutely no intention of becoming hooked on in 2013, it’s LEGO Galaxy Squad. But I have a weakness for cool LEGOs (if you can believe that), and I feel hopelessly in love with the theme the first time I saw the 2013 LEGO Galaxy Squad sets in stores. I had planned on curtailing my buying of the theme when the Galaxy Squad summer wave came out, but then a terrible thing happened: I came across the LEGO Galaxy Squad Summer 2013 sets while out hunting for the new LEGO Castle sets. And predictably, now I want them all…

LEGO Castle 2013 Sets Found in United States Stores

LEGO Summer 2013 LEGO Castle King's Castle Released 70404

I was a man on a mission today, and that mission was to find and purchase the summer LEGO Castle 2013 sets! Although the resurrected LEGO Castle theme sets weren’t expected to hit retail stores until June or July 2013, LEGO fandom was stunned when some new 2013 LEGO Castle sets were spotted at retail this week. I really, really wanted the LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain 70403 set, so I went LEGO dragon hunting at my earliest opportunity today. Well… I didn’t find the LEGO Dragon Mountain set. But–BUT!! I did manage to come across almost every other LEGO Castle Summer 2013 set during my travels…

New Summer 2013 LEGO Chima CHI Large Buildable Figures Sets Found!

LEGO Chima Summer 2013 Sets CHI Worriz Buildable Figure Set 70204

When I went out to the store tonight hunting for newly-released 2013 LEGO Summer sets, I honestly wasn’t looking for anything from the LEGO Legends of Chima line. To be totally honest, I didn’t think that there were even any LEGO Chima summer 2013 sets out yet. I didn’t even check the LEGO Chima section at the store because I was so convinced there was nothing there worth checking out. Luckily, something brand-spanking-new caught my wife’s eye: the LEGO Chima CHI Buildable Figure sets!

LEGO Architecture United Nations Headquarters 21018 Revealed & Sale

LEGO United Nations Headquarters 21018 LEGO Architecture 2013 Set

I admit to not being the biggest fan of the LEGO Architecture theme. It’s not that I don’t love real buildings–I actually think that the LEGO Architecture sets are some of the coolest things that LEGO releases. No, it’s the prices that put me off of the LEGO Architecture theme–I feel like the sets just plain cost too much for the small size of the boxes and the sets! That said, I’ve weakened tremendously toward the notion of buying LEGO Architecture sets today. One reason for that is a pretty sweet sale going on for current LEGO Architecture sets, and the other is the reveal of the brand-new, upcoming Summer 2013 LEGO Architecture United Nations Headquarters 21018 set!

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Defender Class Cruiser Box Summer 2013

Something momentous happened today that LEGO Star Wars fans have been looking forward to for months. No, there wasn’t a free promo like the May the 4th Hoth Han Solo minifigure. Nor was there a new set released today. Instead, LEGO Star Wars collectors finally got their first glimpse at the final one of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2013 sets that he hadn’t seen yet: the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Defender Class Cruiser 75025!

LEGO Minifigures Series 10 Review 71001 2013

Posted on by
LEGO Minifigures Series 10 71001 Warrior Woman Minifigure with Spear and Shield

When you own several thousands action figures of various sizes like I do, shelf space is a luxury. So there’s no way that I can purchase even close to the number of LEGO sets and minifigures I want to each year. That said, I do run a LEGO site, so it’d be futile for me to try to resist the charm and allure of pulling blind bags from every LEGO Minifigures series. Thus, I dropped by the LEGO Store on launch day and picked up a handful of the LEGO Minifigures Series 10 71001 blind bags. With no LEGO Minifigures Series 10 codes available, I had to hope for the best. The verdict? This Minifigures series is so good, I’m going to need more shelves…

2013 LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain 70403 Box

It seems that you can’t keep a good LEGO theme down, as this summer LEGO Castle will have its third coming! The LEGO Castle 2013 theme will be the second revival of the legendary LEGO Castle theme that debuted in 1978 and ran until 1997. LEGO Castle returned briefly in 2007, and it’s back for a third go in August 2013. The LEGO Castle Summer 2013 sets range will consist of five different sets. This time there’s no trolls, dwarves, or skeleton warriors. Instead it’s just good ol’-fashioned knights, horses, and oh yeah–a giant red LEGO dragon…

LEGO Superman Battle of Smallville 76003 Released in Stores Man of Steel

I dropped by my local LEGO Store in Peabody, MA today to pick up my first handful of LEGO Minifigures Series 10 blind bags (which are officially released today!), and was lucky enough to get my first look at three sets just released in stores: the LEGO Superman Man of Steel sets! I knew these would have to be out soon (as the Man of Steel movie opening is June 14th), but I had no idea they were already in stores. I even got to hold the Black Zero Dropship in my hands, and it gave me a real surprise…

CODE NUMBER LIST: Star Trek Kre-O Blind Bags Figures Series 1

Star Trek Kre-O Figures Series 1 Case of Blind Bags

When Hasbro first started bringing out their Kre-O line of building toys two years ago, I seriously thought the line was a third-rate, doomed LEGO wannabe. Over the years I’ve warmed toward the Kre-O line as whole, mostly because of the ultra-fun Kre-O Transformers and GI Joe figure blind bags that Hasbro has been releasing. So when I heard Hasbro had picked up the Star Trek: Into Darkness movie license and would be producing movie Star Trek Kre-O blind bags, I was pretty psyched. And though I’m not entirely thrilled with the figure lineup, I picked up a set and have the Kre-O Star Trek Series 1 codes numbers list to share…
