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!

2014 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60063 Set

I was ecstatic over the weekend when I unwittingly ended up stumbling upon my personal favorite of the yearly LEGO Advent Calendars: the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar!

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar Released in Stores!

75056 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2014

After seeing the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar at the New York Toy Fair 2014, I came back and raved about the set–and then pined away that it would be at least six months before I could own it. Fast-forward six months plus to today, and my melodrama is finally able to come to an end! During the rare occasion when my wife actually wanted to go to the mall (she hates malls), I saw a kid walking around with the telltale yellow LEGO Store bag–stuffed with what looked like new Advent Calendars! I quickly made a beeline for the LEGO Store, and came face-to-face with the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar I’d been waiting so very long for…

Remember the olden days, way back when non-themed sets of LEGO Minifigures blind bags were released?

And coming in October 2014, it’ll be a return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, with the release of LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007!

I make it no secret that I am a complete and utter nut when it comes to Christmas decorations and winter-themed LEGO sets, so it will surprise absolutely nobody that I was over the moon with delight when I heard the rumor that the new 2014 LEGO Winter Village set was going to be a LEGO Santa’s Workshop set.

LEGO Batman Penguin Face-Off 76010 Review & Giveaway!

LEGO Penguin Duck Boat Review LEGO 76010 Batman The Penguin Face-Off

I asked fans over on the Bricks and Bloks Facebook page whether they wanted me to review the just-released LEGO Batman The Penguin Face-Off set or the LEGO Star Wars Kashyyyk Troopers set, expecting a solid victory for the new Kashyyyk Troopers. Instead, the LEGO Batman Penguin Face-Off 76010 set absolutely blew the Star Wars set out of the water! And thus, I’m not posting my first 2014 LEGO Batman review. But that’s not all! Since you guys were so enthusiastic about the Penguin Faceoff, I’ve decided to make that the free March 2014 giveaway here on Bricks and Bloks! Read the review, then enter the contest!

LEGO Mixels Series 1 Flain 41500 Review

Anyone who reads regularly knows that I am not exactly the biggest proponent of the new LEGO Mixels theme debuting this winter. That said, when I walked into my local LEGO Store today and saw all of the LEGO Mixels Series 1 figures in-stock, I just knew I had to buy one and test out Mixels for myself.

As I expected, these aren’t the most compelling LEGO sets I’ve bought this year, but the Mixels LEGO sets aren’t all bad either…
