After having just been blessed with dozens of new sets being released last week, it seems a little bit perverse to be thinking of next month already–but hey, when you’re a LEGO collector, you’ve got to be constantly looking ahead, right? TLG certainly is, as they’ve once again shared next month’s store calendar a full month early.
And according to the February 2016 LEGO Store Calendar, next month we can look forward to a new free promo set, a Double VIP Points offer and more!

2015 has been perhaps the most epic year in LEGO history, with an unbelievable number of five-star sets making their way into stores and our collections, including entries from legendary properties like Scooby-Doo, Jurassic World and Wall-E. But as amazing as 2015 has been, it’s coming to an end, and the final calendar of this year has finally been posted.
Even so, the LEGO Stores are closing out this year strongly, as the December 2015 LEGO Store Calendar is headlined by a free LEGO 2016 Ornament Promo!

About a week and a half, TLG stunned the brick-collecting world by posting the November 2015 LEGO Store calendar way, way early. Because of this, we got our first look at the gorgeous second 2015 Holiday promo set a bit earlier: the Gingerbread House.
While I already posted an entire write-up of the LEGO Gingerbread House 40139 back then, it occurs to me now that I never talked about the LEGO Store November 2015 calendar itself! And so, let’s step back for a minute and see what TLG has lined up for us next month…

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!

Thanks to an early fall release, Christmas comes a bit early each year when the new editions of the LEGO Advent Calendars start popping up on stores. But Santa must be being extra diligent this year, because the LEGO 2015 Advent Calendars are now up for order earlier than ever!
These tend to sell out way before Christmas, so it’s best to take a good look at what’s available for this holiday season and start making your early shopping decisions now…

Seeing as how September 4th is going to be Star Wars Force Friday–perhaps the biggest day for Star Wars collectible reveals ever–I half-expected the September 2015 LEGO Store Calendar to be totally Star Wars themed.
But nope! It’s an eclectic calendar with an emphasis on Ninjago Airjitzu, a free poster for a much-maligned prequel film, and a free promo set featuring everyone’s favorite vehicle to go cruising on: a tractor!

For the last couple months, the LEGO has been just a wee bit late posting the next month’s LEGO Store calendar. But just when I think I’ve got a handle on it, LEGO goes and pulls the rug out from under me again!
With over half a week left until July, the August 2015 LEGO Store Calendar of deals, free promos and events has now been revealed!

May 2015 turned out to be the single worst month of my entire life, so it is with much gusto that I say goodbye to May and hello to June. And with the arrival of June comes at least a sliver of sunshine in my life, as the July 2015 LEGO Store Calendar has now been posted! While nothing quite stacks up to the Winter Soldier minifigure in the June Calendar, that’s not to say that July is a total loss! There’s a free LEGO Space polybag set, the third LEGO Star Wars movie poster, a mystery VIP set and more on the way…

It used to be that we could count on the next month’s LEGO Store Calendar being posted right on time (or even early!) like a finely-tuned watch each month. Unfortunately, there’s been a disturbing trend of the calendars not being posted online until later and later each month–so much so, that I had set my alarm to get up early and head to the LEGO Store myself at opening in anticipation that the June 2015 LEGO Store Calendar wouldn’t be posted online. But hey, any excuse to head to the LEGO Store is a good one, right? And after a quick trip to my closest LEGO Store, I now have hi-res scans of the LEGO Store June 2015 Calendar and all of the scheduled deals, promos and events!

Ordinarily I like to wait for LEGO to post the super hi-res LEGO Store Calendars for the next month before I talk about what’s coming up at the LEGO Stores, but I ended up getting burned by that last month when they didn’t post the next month’s calendar for many days after it was already available in stores (and I ended up going and picking up the calendar myself to scan). So this month, I’m going to talk about the upcoming deals, promos and events first, and add the hi-res images later. And the May 2015 LEGO Store Calendar is a good one, including the happenings for May the 4th 2015 and more!

I’m feeling like I could use a little bit of holiday cheer this week (no, St. Patrick’s Day does not count), so I think it’s time to look way ahead to the holiday season once again and look at the second of three 2015 LEGO Advent Calendars. Last month I discussed the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar, and this time it’s the classic LEGO City 2015 Advent Calendar 60099!

While I was at one of my nearest LEGO Stores this week, not only did I pick up the new April 2015 LEGO Store Calendar and pick up the new exclusive LEGO Pirates Chess Set and Easter Set, but I also got to scope out next month’s Free Mini Monthly Model Build in person! LEGO has been knocking these free builds out of the park so far in 2015, and that trend will be continuing with the LEGO UFO Mini Monthly Model Build next month!

Ordinarily, the LEGO Store webmasters are right on top of things and ready to spring the next month’s LEGO Store Calendar onto us on-time each month (and usually even early). This month? Not so much. For whatever reason, the hi-res images of the April 2015 LEGO Store Calendar haven’t been posted online yet. I could only handle not having the hi-res versions of the calendar for a couple days, so I decided to head to my local LEGO Store and pick up an April 2015 LEGO Stores Calendar myself to scan in and post online, detailing all of the LEGO Store April 2015 deals, free promos and events!

It may have only been Valentine’s Day a couple of days ago, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas–especially when we’re talking about Christmas LEGO sets! The tradition of LEGO Star Wars advent calendars will live on in 2015, and at the New York Toy Fair 2015, we got our first look at this year’s calendar! Headlined by Santa C-3PO and Reindeer R2-D2, it’s the 75097 LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar!
