All right, it is time for the Toy Fairs! As you probably know already, January/February of every year is when the various large international Toy Fairs happen; first in London (January 20-22), then in Germany (January 28-February 2), then in New York (February 14-17). Why is this important for LEGO fans? Well, because this is the time when LEGO themes and sets for the new year get revealed! 🙂
The London Toy Fair is the first one on the list. LEGO doesn’t allow any pictures/videos to be taken at this event as many of the new sets and minifigures are still in prototype stage. However this is still an important event as participants can get a good idea of all the news sets and themes. A couple of weeks later at the German Toy Fair, and even later at the New York Toy Fair, pictures and videos are allowed on some of the new products, and usually by this time most of the sets and minifigures are finalized for the year.
So although we don’t have any pictures yet, let’s talk about what has been revealed at the recent London Toy Fair. Thanks to Huw and CapnRex101 from Brickset, and Barry from BrickFanatics, who have attended the event, we can at least get a description of what they have seen (again; no pictures/videos were allowed). So let’s begin!
➡ 2015 LEGO STAR WARS SETS: As we have discussed previously, 2015 is going to be big Star Wars year. This is of course because Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens film, but LEGO will be bridging the gap with plenty of other LEGO Star Wars sets even in the meantime. Please note that no Episode VII sets were revealed at the toy fair. Those are still under wraps and are scheduled for the fall/winter. The 2015 #75097 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar will have C-3PO as Santa, and R2-D2 as a reindeer.

➡ 2015 LEGO NINJAGO SETS: At least to me, this line sounds really interesting. The main badguys in this wave are ghosts, and a largest set is an updated version of the Destiny’s Bounty. The special ninja power will be Airjitsu with spinners that are operated by a rip-cord and can fly!

The Batboat set comes with Batman, Robin (new variant) and Deathstroke. The sets will be released in June.
- #76034 LEGO Super Heroes Batboat Harbor Pursuit – £29.99

- #76039 LEGO Super Heroes Ant-Man – £19.99
➡ 2015 LEGO JURASSIC WORLD SETS: By all reports although the sets look nice, they are very expensive compared to what you get. This is most likely due to the new moulds for the dinos, but it is still disappointing. The sets are similar to the previously released LEGO Dino sets, but the color scheme is dark-gray and blue. The main character played by Chris Pratt (Owen) only appears in one set. They will be released in May.
- #75915 LEGO Jurassic World Pteranodon Capture – £29.99

➡ 2015 LEGO SCOOBY-DOO SETS: This theme has been rumored for some time, and has been finally confirmed. According to those who have seen them already, the sets look excellent with a classic ’70s vibe. The characters themselves will be actual minifigures and not mini-dolls. The monsters chasing the gang include Dracula, Black Knight, Headless Horseman, Lighthouse Keeper, glow-in-the-dark ghosts, zombies, and mummies.

➡ 2015 LEGO CITY SETS: LEGO City is getting two sub-themes later this year, one is space related, and the other is about deep sea exploration. From all accounts I have read the space sets are geared towards younger builders and are somewhat juniorized. The deep sea explorers are excellent with a nice yellow color-scheme and some very well designed sets. There is also another very interesting set, the #60097 LEGO City Square, which includes 14 minifigures, a coffee kiosk, a LEGO store with a Pick-A-Brick Wall and delivery van, garage with a truck, and an orange/black trolley with a stop. This set is reportedly similar to the #60026 LEGO City Town Square released in 2013 but even larger.

- #60078 LEGO City Utility Shuttle – £17.99

- #31039 LEGO Creator Blue Power Jet – £49.99

The Pegasus mentioned in the first set takes advantage of the LEGO Friends horse with added wings. The castle is mainly tan with lots of purple and light-purple pieces. It includes a portal back to the human world (part of the story we talked about before).
- #41077 LEGO Elves Aira’s Pegasus Sleigh – £34.99
- #41078 LEGO Elves Skyra’s Mysterious Sky Castle – £74.99

Series 5 include brown/gold, blue/medium-blue, and yellow/red characters, and Series 6 includes purple/lavender, yellow/gray, and green/lime-green characters. The name of the tribes were not given yet. You can check out the currently available LEGO Mixels sets here.

➡ 2015 LEGO TECHNIC SETS: Interestingly, everyone who has been to the toy-fair mentioned how cool the new LEGO Technic sets are. LEGO Technic is of course excellent, but it is rarely pointed out as one of the most exciting themes. Can’t wait to see pictures!

- #42042 LEGO Technic Crawler Crane – £109.99
- #42043 LEGO Technic Mercedes Benz Arocs – £169.99
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 2015 LEGO sets in the comment section below! And in the meantime you can also check out the already released 2015 LEGO sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
And you might also like to check out the following related posts:
Again, a very exciting year to be a collector. Although I have yet to purchase a lot of my 2014 planned sets since there was virtually no clearances in Yuma, but Im holding out for spring clearances.
Im most excited about the Pirates line, Ariel’s Castle, the Miles Morales, Iron spider and Ant man sets, as well as Avengers Tower. And that changing stations creator set sounds very interesting.
I am very anxious to see pictures this February.
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to pictures too. They should be coming soon! 😛
As far as I have understood, Miles Morales is just an alternative Spider-Man.
But maybe that depends on what universe you are talking about.
Hm… what do you mean? As far I know Miles Morales is a completely separate character. Yes, he was also bitten and developed super-powers, but other than that he has no relation to Peter Parker. But I could be wrong. I’m not so deeply into Super Heroes. 😛
I think in the Ultimate Universe, as depicted in the comics, Peter died or as retired or something, and Miles took over from him. There are two different universes in the comics, but apparently they are to be clashed into one this year. (The wonders of superhero comics.)
I always found those alternate stories confusing, but I guess they need them to be able to change stories as they go. Anyway, it is nice to get Miles in LEGO form! 🙂
Miles is really cool, if ya’ll ever get a chance to read the trad paperbacks they’re worth it, you can usually read them for free at public libraries. That’s how I catch up on my comics since I stopped buying when I got married LOL
That’s a good suggestion. I will check my library next time we go.
I’m interested in seeing pictures of most of them but I really would like to see the new City Town Square to see if I like it better than the current set kind of like it.
I’m glad the new dc and marvel superheroes sets have more new heroes and villains. I also like the sound of the new bionicle sets, I didn’t like the lack of villains the same size as the Toa
Oy, this year will clean my wallet almost for sure… and I haven’t even finished buying all the 2013-2014 sets I want! I need a job…. 🙁
However, this summer line-up looks very easy to skip over. Only a few sets I’m interested in here. Mostly from Ninjago, but Creator, City, and Ultra Agents sound promising. And Technic! This year has my favorite Technic lineup yet! 🙂 Too bad the Crawler Crane sounds huge, I’d really like to get it. 🙁 And I want to see Jurassic World images before I skip those. And not just those: where’s the Helicarrier pictures? I know everyone’s been asking, but it’s starting to bug me, even though I have no buy-interest in the set. 😕
Hmm… the NY Toy Fair is the 14-17. I forget… are the weekend days reserved? I thought you needed a pass or something to get in. 😕 I would like to go, but it seems impossible on any of the set days. Worst time-frame ever. 😡
…But Mr. Moderator has something to say about this. I wonder what it could be. 😉
LOL! Not sure what that was about. Maybe didn’t like all your smileys? 😀
If you would like to go the NY Toy Fair I can send you as our representative. I’m not sure what’s the deadline to get you in, but I can check. I already have someone else who is interested in the position though, and I’m just waiting to hear back from him.
I’m not sure what’s going on with the Helicarrier. I’m hoping that bloggers and forum owners will get the press-package next week. We usually have to keep quiet about it for a few days though and are under strict embargo rules. LEGO is getting better at hiding the big sets. 🙄
I would like to go as TBB’s representative, as I believe we are allowed to take pictures at that one, correct? Unfortunately, I am about 2 hours from there (more with traffic), and I’m sure my parents won’t want to go anywhere for LEGO on Valentine’s Day, nor on Sunday, because of church. Although my dad thinks he can send me on a train to New York, but I am sure I’m not up to that. 😕 I think your other guy will have to go. 😉
LEGO is indeed getting better at keeping big sets hidden. It certainly helps build anticipation. 🙂
It sounds nice, though. I like train rides.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the lego Carnage set. I was happy to see that this set will only be $19.99, so I can’t get this set quick. Also there is going to be an original green goblin juniors set. Even though I am not a big fan of the lego juniors, I must buy it to get the goblin! Supposedly that will be 24.99 which is relatively cheap. Who else is excited for some of the Spider-Man sets?
Nice profile pic. (That part was hilarious.) I’m most interested in the Avengers tower out of all the new super hero sets, though it could be bigger.
I’m not into the current Minecraft sets but the new ones sound cool. I heard there is a new armor piece on the Bionicle skull badguys that sort of looks like torn cloth. I can’t wait for pictures of the Mask Maker set. I was planning on getting all the new Toa and Protectors this year, but the Protectors may have to wait.
Surely I can’t be the only person excited about the scooby do line? Never really watched the series but the lighthouse and the mystery mansion look utterly fab for moccing.
Was excited about the JW sets but the pricing in the UK is way too high so unless i can get 30+% off rhey won’t be happening. Rest is a bit meh to me.
Sccoby-Doo is very exciting. We will be talking about it separately this upcoming week. LEGO really nailed the look and feel of the sets. 🙂
Hi TheBrickBlogger! I’ve found the instructions to the A-Wing Polybag scheduled to be released later this year. Here’s the link to have a look!
http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/6122929.pdf
Simon, they must have taken it down as the link won’t work. 😕
It works for me.
I flipped out when I saw… MORE SPINNERS!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting 2 years for more!! I knew if they made more they would have rip-cords.
What do you mean they can “fly”? How? :S
Yeah, I’m really looking forward to those flying spinners. I like spinners so much more than the Chima Speedorz. 😛
How will they fly? 😐
This is going to be a great wave for NINJAGO!!! Two dragons and the DESTINY’S BOUNTY!!! That can’t be possible! 😀 Maybe where the games are being held is on the dark island, I don’t know.
Ive seen images to both dc sets (i love dc comics and legos) and they look great. even though I’m eleven I’ve seen the old batman 2006 wave they are so cool i never owned one but that bat boat seems to have the same feel. the joker land is huge and i love it so I’m ready to get it for my birthday and i love how they are incorporating different robins like the teen titans go one the chris odenele and the damian wayne death stroke could have had a better head piece but i have a custom one already from arrow harley quinn is the best one yet but i want them to change poison ivy i like how they have the penguin from the arkham set and the “deadly duckies” the motorcycle on tite rope is cool but the mechinisin didn’t need to be so bulky and the bat mobile is the best one the micheak keaton i love it all eke it coming
