LEGO Bricktober 2015 Sets Revealed! Mini Modular Buildings!

Posted on by
LEGO Bricktober Toys R Us Store 40144

Last year, Toys R Us started what I hoped was going to be a new tradition when they debuted the amazingly cool 2014 Bricktober Mini Modular Buildings as their weekly October holiday giveaway sets! From the Pizza Place to the Town Hall, last year’s October exclusive sets really broke the mold for what we could hope for for free promo sets. And today, it’s been revealed that the series is continuing–the 2015 LEGO Bricktober sets include a Bakery, Hotel, Train Station… and a brick-built Toys R Us store!!

October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar! Holiday Train Promo!

October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar Front

For whatever reason, it’s over a week into September 2015 and TLG still hasn’t posted the hi-res, front-and-back PDFs of the October 2015 LEGO Store Calendar. Crazy, right?

So what’s a guy to do, other than drive to the nearest LEGO Store and scan ridiculously hi-res images of the October 2015 calendar himself, right?

And thankfully, it’s worth the effort: next month is going to be a good one, with the awesome free LEGO Holiday Train promo and more!

This is it! Tonight is the night that Star Wars fans have been waiting for since before they even knew there was something to wait for: Star Wars Force Friday, where hundreds of new Star Wars toys and collectibles will go on sale across the world at midnight! And for LEGO fans, there’s no set coming out tonight that’s bigger, more expensive or more iconic than the LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Millennium Falcon 75105!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII First Order Transporter 75103!

75103 LEGO Star Wars First Order Transporter Box

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true: we’re just two days away from the most-hyped toy event of the decade–Star Wars Force Friday! And coincidentally enough, I’ve got two 2015 LEGO Star Wars Episode VII sets left to talk about (imagine that!). Yesterday I talked about the big-bad of The First Order with Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, but if you want some troops for Kylo Ren to command, the LEGO First Order Transporter 75103 is for you!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle!

Posted on by
LEGO Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle Box

Ordinarily a Star Wars set with a price tag of $119.99 will be the most expensive set available in that wave. But 2015 is no ordinary year for Star Wars (you may have heard about this new movie coming out), and what would usually be the biggest of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2015 sets ends up second! With three days to go until Force Friday, the spotlight falls on LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle 75104!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Rey’s Speeder 75099 Revealed!

Posted on by
75099 Rey's Speeder LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Box

With just four days to go until Force Friday (the legendary launch date of hundreds of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens toys), it’s time to move forward and take a look at the fourth of six new LEGO Star Wars Force Awakens sets that will be available on Force Friday at the end of this week! The first three sets that I looked at were new-age versions of old army vehicles, but this one is a bit removed from that: it’s the LEGO Rey’s Speeder 75099 set–the cheapest of all the day one Episode VII sets!

LEGO Star Wars First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101!

75101 LEGO Star Wars First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter Box

Yesterday I discussed the modern reinterpretation of one of the most recognizable fictional vehicles in history: the Star Wars Episode VII First Order Snowspeeder 75100. But that’s not the most famous vehicle that the Imperials are bringing to the new movies–and one I’ll be talking about today looks far, far more like we remember it than the Snowspeeder does! Coming to our retail galaxies for Force Friday this week, it’s the LEGO Star Wars First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII First Order Snowspeeder 75100!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII First Order Snowspeeder 75100 Box

Yesterday I started my previews of the LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens sets by taking a look at Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter 75102, and so it logically follows that today we should look ahead to the vehicle that (according to the catalog) is meant to combat that slick Halloween-colored Starfighter. This Star Wars Episode VII vehicle has a name that harkens back to the Original Trilogy, but you sure wouldn’t know it at a glance: it’s the LEGO First Order Snowspeeder 75100!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter 75102!

LEGO 75102 Poe's X-Wing Starfighter Set Revealed Episode VII

I suspect I’m going to lose my Star Wars Fanboy card for saying this, but I’m just gonna say it: I’ve never particularly liked X-Wings. Blasphemy, right? Oh, I’ve owned plenty of X-Wings, but the drab colors have never captured my heart.

But that’s all set to change with Star Wars The Force Awakens, which brings us the new Halloween-colored LEGO Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter 75102 set!

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII C-3PO Minifigure Polybag

Rumors have been circulating for a while that there would be an exclusive LEGO Star Wars Episode VII polybag available during the Star Wars Force Friday event. We didn’t know what the supposed Star Wars Episode VII polybag minifigure would be at the time the rumors started, and we still don’t have confirmation of exactly what the details of the promo will be. But one thing we do know is who the first Episode VII minifigure to get his own polybag will be: it looks like an Episode VII C-3PO polybag promo is on the way!

LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu 70751 Released

I woke up this morning, looked at the date, and knew today was going to be an expensive day. Why? Because the most beautiful brick-built Oriental-style Village ever went up for sale this morning: the LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu is now available for order! (You must be logged into your LEGO VIP account to order.)

But just ordering this beauty wasn’t enough for me–I needed to see it in person! And so, I headed over to my nearest LEGO Store to take hi-res photos…
