As we have discussed previously January/February of every year is when the various large international Toy Fairs happen; first in London, then in Germany, then in New York. This is when LEGO themes and sets for the new year get revealed. At the London toy fair pictures and videos cannot be taken, but it is still an important event because we get a list of the new sets and prices. Read here: 2014 LEGO Sets – London Toy Fair Report
The German Toy Fair took place this past week, and it is the first event where pictures and videos are allowed to be taken. Some sets still have only prototypes and the minifigs are sometimes either absent or unfinished, but we can take a good look at most of the new sets. So let’s dive in! 🙂
➡ 2014 LEGO STAR WARS SETS: Only two of the new LEGO Star Wars sets were revealed , the #75048 LEGO Star Wars Phantom and the #75053 LEGO Star Wars The Ghost, both based on the new Star Wars Rebels series. The models themselves appear to be final, however the minifigures were not displayed. You can see the list of other 2014 LEGO Star War sets at the London Toy Fair Report. Also check video here: Atamii.tv on YouTube
➡ 2014 LEGO LEGENDS OF CHIMA SETS: A huge range of the 2014 LEGO Legends of Chima sets were on display, including a bunch of new minifigures as well as giant mythical beasts. You can see the list of all 2014 LEGO Legends of Chima sets at the London Toy Fair Report, and you can also check out more pictures at Fedro’s flick gallery.
➡ 2014 LEGO ULTRA AGENTS SETS: As we discussed earlier the LEGO Agents theme is back! Each of the sets contain a code for activating an augmented reality mission based app to create your own comic. You can see the list of all 2014 LEGO Ultra Agents sets at the London Toy Fair Report, and below are also a couple of pictures of the upcoming sets.
➡ 2014 LEGO NINJAGO SETS: There are a couple of LEGO Ninjago sets scheduled for 2014. The #70728 Battle for Ninjago City is pictures below. Looks quite similar to the previous LEGO Ninjago buildings. I like the addition of the fancy gold wheels from the new LEGO Disney Princess line!
➡ 2014 THE LEGO MOVIE SETS: The LEGO Movie is of course the big thing this year. The first wave of the sets have been released already and they are phenomenal. I highly recommend you check them out. The second wave of The LEGO Movie sets is going to include some incredibly exciting large sets. Just look at the video below!
➡ 2014 LEGO HERO FACTORY SETS: The new Hero Factory sets were also on display. The picture below is quite small, but you can check out a larger version at Fedro’s flick gallery. Also, you can see the list of all 2014 LEGO Hero Factory sets at the London Toy Fair Report.
➡ 2014 LEGO CITY SETS: Both the Arctic themed sets and the new trains were on display. Below is a picture and video, and you can see more at Fedro’s flickr gallery. Also, you can see the list of all 2014 LEGO City sets at the London Toy Fair Report.
➡ 2014 LEGO TECHNIC SETS: The #42030 LEGO Technic Front Loader with Power Functions is particularly interesting! And the #42029 LEGO Technic Red Truck also looks great.
➡ 2014 LEGO FRIENDS SETS: There is another big wave of LEGO Friends sets coming out. Below is a picture of the #41058 LEGO Friends Heartlake Shopping Center, and you can see the list of all 2014 LEGO Friends sets at the London Toy Fair Report.
➡ 2014 LEGO CREATOR SETS: One of the most interesting LEGO Creator set coming out this year is the #31026 LEGO Creator Bike Shop & Cafe. It almost looks like a smaller version of the LEGO Modular sets! 😀
And that’s all for today! Plenty to digest and think about. What do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss the 2014 LEGO sets in the comment section below! 😉

First Comment! Wow, these sets are so exciting! Must get some Arctic and that Ninjago and lego movie stuff.
Ninjago 70728 is definitely the best, Spring-loaded shooter, 3 ninja, samurai X, and Overlord 😀
Forgot to mention, but I found preliminary images on google for all the summer Star Wars sets a few days ago. I think the original trilogy sets are better than this new Rebels series.
Also, did anyone notice that Benny’s Spaceship has hidden cannons inside the rear wings?
Send me a link to the star wars pics you must.
wait, where is the other ninja on that picture? I only see Jay and Lloyd. (if its obvious I will be saying to myself, DUH!) oh and I also saw samurai x with the new suit. sweet! its going to be awesome!
The Last ninja is Zane. He’s on a white Glider that’s right below Samurai X in the picture.
right, ha-ha, I saw that… totally saw that.
I just noticed Samurai X is in the temple set! new armor! Can’t wait for the chima sets also 😀
(does anyone else think this face –> 😡 looks like samurai X’s face on her minifgure?)
yes, it does look like samurai X! weird.
They look pretty good. I want the spaceship from the LEGO movie, it reminds me of the classic space sets.
WOW!!! Benny’s Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship!!! It’s got Batman AND Johnny Thunder??? “AWESOMEEE!!!”
Ninjago and Chima have sure stepped it up a few notches
wait, it has Johnny thunder in it?!? human torch?!?
are you sure Micho, or am I not understanding you right? because I didn’t see them in Bennys spaceship.
Nonono… I WISH! 😀 …Johnny STORM is the Human Torch… Johnny Thunder is the main character from the 90’s theme LEGO Adventurers
Johnny Thunder is in the police dropship.
Ah yes!!! I got confused… thank you
I meant to say, I got Johnny thunder mixed with Johnny storm. 😳 that’s embarrassing.
thanks for sharing all this stuff with us admin! I sure like the Battle for Ninjago City and the new tribes of Chima 😀
they really went all out this year! awesome! 🙂
Where are the Hobbit sets?
Not revealed as of yet. Maybe at the NY Toy Fair?
There is some nice stuff in there, the creator ones specifically and off course Bennies spaceship. The ship has the real old space-feeling to it; brilliant!
Also the friends set for my daughter, she loves ‘m 🙂
I’m not into Chima, but I like the large monster that’s on display.
Now, I’ll just wait… and wait…. wait…
Hmmm, most of those sets seem too big or bland for me, alas. Where are all the purple slopey Creator mecha spaceships? Benny’s spaceship is rather cool, but I’ll probably be too short on cash…
And it’s a shame we couldn’t get a bike in a new color, a simple blue bike feels long overdue by now…
Yeah, a blue bike would be nice. Although what I really want to get my hands on is that teal scooter from the Friends set! I would really like to take a closer look at Benny’s ship. Looks awesome! I hope it will be displayed at TRU and LEGO stores! 😛
There’s actually five sets with a blue bike. Here they are.
That medium-azure color is actually really sweet. I do have a bike in that color and it is very nice. 🙂
Yeah, I knew that. I meant bright blue.
That would be nice too! 😀
Did any one notice in the chima video the guy said the Mammoths are part of the Sabertooth tribe
Hm… good catch! We are certainly getting some really interesting tribes this year! 😀
Lloyd comes in the dropship yay! I hope Lloyd has the same voice as he does in the ninjago show for the lego movie
Is there any news about Mixels in Germany?
I think the Mixels are supposed to get a wide release in Germany in March, according to the catalog. There doesn’t seem to be any mention in the Swedish or Dutch catalogs, however.

Murat, yes, all three waves of Mixels were displayed at the show. I didn’t get a picture until later so I didn’t include it in the article, but the first wave will be released in March.
c’mon 10:00 come already!
Jay, I’m not sure what supposed to be happening at 10:00, but if you are waiting for today’s article that get’s released 10:00 AM Eastern Time. It is automatically scheduled. 😉
yes I am waiting for today’s article 😉 I check them every day 😛
It will be posted in 17 minutes. It is 9:43 AM here. 😉
yeah I have eastern time also…do you live in Florida? 😀
Yep, Florida all the way! So your clock was just running fast? 😉
did you get any snow where you live? we had sleet…so close to snow though 🙂
No, we didn’t. It was a cold day, and it was raining, but we never got sleet or snow. Just regular rain.
There’s been a lot of snow in Stockholm, recently, but it’s getting warmer now. Personally, I think it’s on due time, since the cold outside has been getting to me…
It doesn’t snow if you live in a country bisected by the equator…however, it’s the peak of the rainy season; it’s been unrelenting and flood is everywhere…See, a perk for living in the thirtieth floor.
LOL! Never thought of it that way (living on the 13th floor). The highest floor I have ever lived at was the 3rd. And I found that scary. I guess I’m a ground floor person, but it rains here a lot too, so yeah, being higher up have it’s advantages. 🙂
30th floor, actually…
Actually, a few floors-4,13 and 14-actually don’t exist. The number 4 is a very bad omen in Asian culture, since its Chinese word is similar to the Chinese word for “Death”. In fact, in extremely high-rise buildings in Hong Kong, I heard they completely cut out floors 40-49. So there, if you live in the 52nd floor, in actuality, you’re really living in like, the 39th floor. (52 floors minus floors 4,14,24,34 and 40-49, plus the Ground Floor.)
Very interesting! Here I have seen sometimes the 13th floor missing in a building, but that’s the only one. As far as the number four that’s really interesting too! I always felt that 4 was a very lucky number. Like I’m totally excited about this year, and also my BD has two fours in it, and in general the number was always lucky for me. So I guess it just depends on the person’s own experiences. 🙂
The number 4 is also considered ominous in nearby countries traditionally affected by the Chinese culture, such as Japan and Korea.
I have also heard that analysis for the movie “1408”, the room is ‘actually’ on the 13th floor, and the numbers 1+4+0+8 becomes 13 when added up…
Interesting… well, it is a lucky number for me, and it shall stay that way. I guess I shouldn’t go to China because people will think I’m the walking dead. 😉
Oh, I misread that! That’s even worse! 😯
Yeah there’s been a lot of snow in my area (Northeast US) too. It snowed all day yesterday. 🙂 And tomorrow its gonna rain.
I so don’t miss snow. My family is in Chicago, but since moving down to Florida I only visit in the summer. 😉
We’ve been rooting for snow and finally got three inches! Had some fun sledding outside. Speaking of snow, the City arctic sets look nice (though I could wish they used a more useful color than orange), but it’s a shame the huskies only come in the larger sets!
I really like th huskies too! Hopefully they will appear in other sets too so they will become more common. Enjoy the snow! 😀
Yeah, I just recently got one of the new light brown dogs, and it’s really nice!
We went out sledding for a while… by the time I came in my hands were just about frozen stiff! At least I lasted longer than anyone else…
I saw a preview for the Mixels TV series. It’s definitely aimed at younger kids. The animation is terrible, and the series looks like another generic Cartoon Network commedy (like that horrible Teen Titans reboot). Oh well, at least the actual sets are nice.
Sad to hear that the cartoon is no goo. Anyhow, the sets are fun, as you said, and that’s all I care about. 🙂
Chima has definitely improved. Seems like LEGO has geared this wave at an older age range (probably a good idea). I don’t think the red-suited lion and gorilla look so great though, but oh well.
