LEGO Sales & Deals – many retiring sets!

in LEGO Sales & Deals

So many new LEGO sets were released this month which have been keeping LEGO fans busy. I wanted to bring to your attention that if you are shopping online, a lot of the older LEGO sets just went on sale. So if you are buying some of the new sets but your total doesn’t meet the minimum for free shipping, you might consider taking a look at the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop. Please note that LEGO putting sets on sale means that these products are getting retired. Once they are gone they are gone. Below are some of the highlights. 🙂

Shop LEGO Sales in August 2015

➡ LEGO NINJAGO SET ON SALE: The #70728 LEGO Ninjago Battle for Ninjago City is on sale. This is a beautiful set that will appeal not just to LEGO Ninjago fans but those who are into building Asian themed creations. The gorgeously decorated windows with the gold dragon are printed, and there are many other really nice elements included. It is worth to pay full price for this set, so having a sale is sweet. The other LEGO Ninjago set that’s on sale is the #70726 LEGO Ninjago Destructoid. If you are into building mean machines, this set has a great selection of interesting elements. You can find both of them under the Sales & Deals section. BUY HERE

#70728 LEGO Ninjago

➡ LEGO TMNT SETS ON SALE: As far as I know the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line is getting retired, so this is your last chance to get the sets. The #79115 LEGO TMNT Turtle Van Takedown, the #79116 LEGO TMNT Big Rig Snow Gateway and the #79117 LEGO TMNT Turtle Lair Invasion are all on sale. All three of these sets are large with lots of play-features and a great selection of minifigures. The LEGO TMNT Turtle Lair Invasion has a particularly good selection of parts. You can find all three sets under the Sales & Deals section. BUY HERE

#79117 LEGO TMNT

➡ LEGO LEGENDS OF CHIMA SETS ON SALE: LEGO Legends of Chima is another theme that is getting retired with several sets on sale, mostly from the Fire vs. Ice conflict. Sets like the #70147 LEGO Chima Sir Fangar’s Ice Fortress, the #70135 LEGO Chima Cragger’s Fire Striker, and the huge #70145 LEGO Chima Maula’s Ice Mammoth Stomper, and there are many more. You can find them under the Sales & Deals section. BUY HERE

➡ LEGO ULTRA AGENTS SETS ON SALE: Yet another theme that is getting close to retirement is LEGO Ultra Agents. So far only a couple of sets are on sale; #70163 LEGO Ultra Agent’s Toxikita’s Toxic Meltdown, and #70161 LEGO Ultra Agents Tremor Track Infiltration. Both are great sets from the first wave of LEGO Ultra Agents, and it might be a good idea to keep checking if others go on sale as well. You can find them under the Sales & Deals section. BUY HERE

There are some other odds and ends, but these are pretty much the largest and most interesting sets that are getting retired and are now on sale. Please note that sale items usually move very quickly, so if you want to grab them before they are gone, I would suggest you do so by the end of the week. It is also a good idea to check the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop at least once a month to see if anything new is added.

Build Your Own Adventure – new LEGO books

by on August 6, 2015
in LEGO Books & Magazines

There are a couple of new LEGO books that I wanted to show you today that were just released by DK Publishing; LEGO Ninjago: Build Your Own Adventure, and LEGO Friends: Build Your Own Adventure. Both books are similar to – and probably replacements for – the LEGO BrickMaster line, with included LEGO building elements and minifigs along with the book. The new books however are designed a bit differently than the LEGO BrickMaster books; instead of the book itself having a thick storage compartment for LEGO elements, this time we get a slip-case that contains a normal hardbound book and a separate box with LEGO parts. 🙂

BUild Your Own Adventure LEGO Books

➡ LEGO NINJAGO: BUILD YOUR OWN ADVENTURE – Get ready for your own Ninja adventure with this inspirational book. Build, play and learn all about the thrilling world of LEGO Ninjago. LEGO Ninjago: Build Your Own Adventure combines fan built inspiring ideas for building with exciting stories. In the pages of this book, you will discover an exciting LEGO Ninjago adventure story. You will also see some clever ideas for LEGO Ninjago models that might inspire you to create your own. There are no limits to what you can build. This is your adventure, so jump right in and get building. The boxed set includes: an 80-page book filled with stories, building instructions, tips, and ideas. 70 LEGO bricks to build an exclusive Ninja Mech. An awesome Lloyd minifigure. All the inspiration you need to build your own LEGO Ninjago adventure. Regular price: $24.99, sale price (at the time of publishing this post): $17.14 – BUY ON AMAZON

Build Your Own Adventure LEGO Ninjago Book 3

Besides the main model, which is the Ninja Mech, the book also includes other models that you can use as inspiration. These are grouped within the five chapters of the book that are based on different adventures (jungle battle, going underground, volcano quest, etc.). Please note that these are not alternate models that you can build with the same included pieces, but simply suggestions to build from your LEGO collection. As mentioned above, the included minifigure is Lloyd.

➡ LEGO FRIENDS: BUILD YOUR OWN ADVENTURE – A book with bricks that inspires kids to build, play, and learn all about the fascinating world of LEGO Friends. LEGO Friends: Build Your Own Adventure combines fan built inspirational ideas for building with enthralling story starters. In the pages of this book, you will discover an exciting LEGO Friends adventure story. You will also see some clever ideas for LEGO Friends models that might inspire you to create your own. This is your adventure, so jump right in and get building. This boxed set includes: an 80-page book filled with stories, building tips, ideas, and instructions. 73 LEGO bricks to create a cool, exclusive touring car. An awesome Liza mini-doll. All the inspiration you need to build your own LEGO Friends adventure. Regular price: $24.99, sale price (at the time of publishing this post): $12.37 – BUY ON AMAZON

Build Your Own Adventure LEGO Friends Book 1

The main model in this book is a touring car, which looks good. This book is also divided into five chapters with various inspirational models grouped around activities like a picnic, horse show, carnival and party. There are some small but clever builds, along with larger models. Again, these models can’t be built from the included bricks, but they are simply there to give you inspiration and ideas. The most interesting models are actually quite small and can be put together from just a couple of common elements, and even the larger ones you should be able to copy if you have an average size LEGO collection. The included mini-doll is named Liza, who pretty much looks like Andrea from the LEGO Friends sets.

I have been a fan of the LEGO BrickMaster books because they offer hours of play for kids; there is a story to read, characters to play with, and included LEGO elements for building. I do like that in this new format the book and the box are separate but still stay together within the slip-case; a handy way to keep everything together for transportation and storage. I’m hoping that DK Publishing will add other titles as well, just like they have done in the LEGO BrickMaster books line. Both books are recommended for children, but I admit I enjoy them as an adult as well.

What do you think? Do you like the LEGO BrickMaster books? And what do you think of this new line of building your own adventure? Do you feel they are better or worse than the BrickMaster books? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
