LEGO Marvel Rocket Raccoon Minifigure Polybag Review & Photos

LEGO Rocket Raccoon Polybag Review

The amount of Rocket Raccoon toys and collectibles available at retail this year is surreal to me. As a lifelong Rocket Raccoon fanboy, I never thought the day would come that any piece of Rocket Raccoon merch would show up in a retail store–much less dozens of Rocket Raccoon figures. But thanks to the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, Rocket Raccoon is now a star for eternity. And as such, he gets an honor previously reserved only for headliner Marvel characters like Thor and Iron Man–his own LEGO minifigure polybag! Is the LEGO Rocket Raccoon polybag worth your five bucks (or ten bucks if you’re buying Rocket online)?

LEGO Justice League vs. Bizarro League & Batzarro Pre-Order!

LEGO Justice League vs Bizarro League DVD Set with Batzarro Minifigure

When the LEGO Justice League vs. Bizarro League DVD set was revealed last weekend, I knew it would only be a short wait until we saw pre-orders open for the set. And thus, I’ve been staking out online retailers all week waiting for the special to go up for order.

Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long–the LEGO DC Super Heroes Justice League vs. Bizarro League set with Batzarro minifigure is now up for order at the discounted price of 30% Off and eligible for free shipping!

December 2014 LEGO Store Calendar

It seems rather sacrilegious to be jumping forward and talking about Christmas and the holidays on Halloween, but it’s the last day of the month, and that can mean only one thing: the newest LEGO Store monthly calendar has been released! And it’s the final calendar of the year–the December 2014 LEGO Store Calendar has arrived!

But while December is the biggest shopping month of the year at the LEGO Stores and this is the final LEGO Store Calendar of 2014, don’t expect it to be rife with deals–LEGO unfortunately did not save the best for last…

If you’ve been trembling with anticipation for the eventual debut of the 2014 LEGO Holiday Promo Set 2 of 2 (like me!), you can cease jittering, LEGO fans! While LEGO almost certainly didn’t mean to let the cat out of the bag just yet, the Polish LEGO Store accidentally shipped out the second LEGO 2014 Holiday Promo set to some customers last week. We’ve had to wait longer than I’d have liked, but at last it can be seen: the 40107 LEGO Ice Skating Exclusive Holiday Promo Set has now been revealed!

LEGO Rocket Raccoon Minifigure Polybag 5002145 Revealed!

LEGO Rocket Raccoon Polybag 5002145 Set

Way back in July, I was scandalized when LEGO decided to make the LEGO Rocket Raccoon Warbird set a SDCC 2014 exclusive. I wasn’t thrilled about it, but I ended up dropping $100+ for that SDCC 2014 LEGO Rocket Raccoon set so that I could have a complete Rocket Raccoon shrine (I’m not kidding). Now I somewhat regret that decision, because I overpaid by at least $95 to get that LEGO Rocket Raccoon minifigure–because a Toys R Us exclusive Rocket Raccoon polybag with the same Rocket has now turned up online!

November 2014 LEGO Store Calendar Free Promos & Events!

November 2014 LEGO Stores Calendar

LEGO is getting wise to our tricks of looking for the next month’s LEGO Store calendar a day early, so they thought they’d stop us from getting complacent and shake things up a bit this month–by uploading the November 2014 LEGO Store Calendar to the server earlier than ever! So not one, not two, not three, but four days early we’re getting our first glimpse of what LEGO has got cooked up for us in November 2014?

Unfortunately, the LEGO Store November 2014 Calendar is more of a tease than anything else, with more questions than answers…

Bricktober 2014 LEGO Mini Modular Buildings Exclusives Promo Sets

Earlier this week, the October 2014 LEGO Stores Calendar was posted, which made it very clear exactly where all of us will be spending all of our money in October 2014: the LEGO Store. After all, nothing could be nearly as enticing as Double LEGO VIP Rewards points and the LEGO 2014 Holiday Promo set, right? Or so I thought. Toys R Us is taking aim at our wallets as well in October 2014, and to my surprise, they really are going to claim whatever money I have left over!

LEGO Stores Free LEGO White Spaceman Minifigure Promo!

Free LEGO White Spaceman Minifigure Promo LEGO Stores 2014

LEGO Space is still a much-beloved and popular classic LEGO theme, despite the fact that new LEGO Space sets haven’t been produced in years. Even so, the classic LEGO Spaceman minifigure craze is having a resurgence like never before, largely due to the appearance of Benny the 1980’s-something Spaceman in The LEGO Movie. Not only do the first green LEGO Spaceman minifigures ever appear in the awesome quickly sold-out LEGO Exo-Suit set, but now we have the opportunity to get our hands on a new run of the white LEGO Spaceman minifigures–for free!

October 2014 LEGO Store Calendar

It’s the last day of the month, one of the days that I get most excited about each and every month! Why? Because the final day of each month is (usually) when LEGO lets us peek into their crystal ball and see the LEGO Store calendar for the month that we’re a month and a day away from!

Today is no different, as we’re being gifted with our first look at the LEGO Store October 2014 Calendar. And while there’s only one LEGO free promo set in October 2014, it’s a doozy! Plus: the long-awaited return of LEGO Double VIP Points!

As we count down the few remaining days until San Diego Comic-Con 2014, the news is coming in fast and furious at exactly what the hotly-demanded LEGO SDCC 2014 exclusives are going to be!
