LEGO Sales & Deals – more sets added!

by Thita (admin) on January 23, 2016

LEGO has been doing a little house-cleaning on their website this week, and added a number of items to the Sales & Deals section. Below I will show you some of the more notable items, and you can check out the full selection under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop. 🙂

➡ LEGO SALES & DEALS – LEGENDS OF CHIMA: LEGO Legends of Chima is getting retired and most of the remaining stock is on sale. This includes one of the most impressive LEGO Legends of Chima sets, the #70146 LEGO Legends of Chima Flying Phoenix Fire Temple. Originally $119.99, the set is now on sale for $83.98, which is about 30% off. That’s a good deal for such a beautiful set and rare Chima minifigures. You can find all of the LEGO Legends of Chima sets on sale under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO SALES & DEALS – PIRATES: The #40158 LEGO Pirates Chess Set is on sale! The set itself is fun for playing chess, but it also has some neat hidden features you might not notice from just the picture. The two side scenes are attached by Technic pins and can be removed to create a larger beach scene. And the chess board has four hidden compartments underneath to store the minifigures. Speaking of minifigs, you get 20 of them – both pirates and bluecoats – so the set is also a great way to build up your armies. The original price for this set was $59.99, and the current sale price is $49.79. It is available under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO SALES & DEALS – LEGO CITY MINIFIG PACKS: The LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire minifig packs are both 50% off! You can get four minifigures in each for only $7.48, plus a bunch of accessories. All the minifigs in these packs are nicely detailed with some of the newest designs. Most of them have front and back printing, and even printings on the legs. You can pick some up for yourself or for resale. LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire minifigs are perennial favorites. You can find them under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO SALES & DEALS – MOVIES: LEGO Legends of Chima: Legends of the Fire CHI – Season 2 Part 2 includes 11 LEGO Legends of Chima Episodes on two disks, with a running time of 242 minutes. LEGO Star Wars New Yoda Chronicles – Complete Collection includes all four The Yoda Chronicles episodes with bonus alternate ending, and a running time of 88 minutes. LEGO Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu Rebooted – Fall of the Golden Master includes Episodes 5-8 and a bonus pilot episode, with a running time of 88 minutes. All three of these DVDs are fun and entertaining for kids and even adult LEGO fans (yes, I definitely enjoy them as an adult). And they are all on sale at about 30% off. You can find them under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO SALES & DEALS – MINDSTORMS: There are a number of LEGO Mindstorms accessories on sale, including various sensors and the rechargeable battery. Anything related to LEGO Mindstorms tends to be quite expensive, so it is nice to have an occasional sale at least on the accessories. You can find them under the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop.

There are some other odds and ends on sale, so it is worth browsing the Sales & Deals section, and more will likely be added as new sets get released. For some of the items you will need to call in to confirm that there are still available. Others you can buy directly through the website. Also, I should mention that the missing LEGO Nexo Knights sets and packs are now available under the LEGO Nexo Knights section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below what you are planning to get, or if you have noticed any other good deals. And you might also like to check out the following related posts:

2016 LEGO City Police & Fire sets reviews

by Thita (admin) on January 22, 2016

in LEGO City

LEGO released two very large LEGO City waves at the beginning of the year in the LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire categories – two sub-themes that LEGO has been maintaining fro pretty much the very beginning. While adult LEGO fans sometimes grumble about LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire sets always being available, LEGO will continue producing them as long as children – especially young boys – remain fascinated by policemen, firefighters, and their awesome vehicles. After all everyone needs a hero, and everyone likes to imagine being a hero. So today we will look at all the LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire sets released this year. 🙂

➡ 2016 LEGO CITY POLICE SETS: Last year we got the LEGO Police sets situated in the swamp, and this year they are on an island – or two islands, to be more accurate. There are six main sets in the series, with a couple of more very small promotional sets. The six main sets are as follows: #60126 LEGO City Police Tire Escape, #60127 LEGO City Police Prison Island Starter Set, #60128 LEGO City Police Pursuit, #60129 LEGO City Police Patrol Boat, #60130 LEGO City Prison Island, and #60131 LEGO City Crooks Island. The last two are the largest and most impressive of the collection with solid designs and fun play-features. Also, both the criminal and the police minifigs got new prints. Below JANGBRiCKS will show you all the sets both individually and as a whole collection. And if you are interested, you can find the sets under the LEGO City section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2016 LEGO CITY FIRE SETS: This sub-theme got a very large wave with nine sets, fighting fires both on land and at see. The nine sets are as follows: #60105 LEGO City Fire ATV, #60106 LEGO City Fire Starter Set, #60107 LEGO City Fire Ladder Truck, #60108 LEGO City Fire Response Unit, #60109 LEGO City Fire Boat, #60110 LEGO City Fire Station, #60111 LEGO City Fire Utility Truck, and #60112 LEGO City Fire Engine. We don’t just get a whole new collection of firefighting vehicles, but also a number of new elements, and new minifigure torso-prints as well. In the video-player below JANGBRiCKS will show you all the sets both individually and as a whole collection. And if you are interested, you can find the sets under the LEGO City section of the Online LEGO Shop.

I quite like the new LEGO City Police sets, especially the two island ones. The parts and color selection are really nice in both. If you plan to get the whole LEGO City Police collection you will have a good balance between large, medium and small sets, and a good mix of land and sea vehicles. Or, you could just pick the set that you really like. But overall the collection is just the right size without it being overwhelming. As far as the LEGO City Fire sets, it is a much larger collection with a lot more medium to large sets with only a couple of small ones. There are four substantial fire trucks, a huge fire boat, a big helicopter, plus a large fire station. Unless you are really into LEGO City Fire, I would say that from this theme it is best to just pick and choose your favorite, rather than collecting everything. After all how many firefighters and fire trucks a city needs? 🙄

What do you think? How do you like the LEGO City Police and LEGO City Fire sets? Are you planning to pick up any of them? Or have you done so already? Do you have any favorites? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
