The film that everybody is talking about right now is of course Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And for LEGO fans this naturally means to compare the first wave of LEGO Star War: The Force Awakens sets already released to what we see in the movie. 🙂
In the video-review below JANGBRiCKS goes through all of the new LEGO Star Wars vehicles, and looks at them from the perspective of how they compare to the movie version. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie yet, there are no plot-spoilers in the video. JANG only talks about things like size and color comparison, and some of the functions of the vehicles. So again, the video is safe to watch if you haven’t seen the film yet.
I believe JANG’s comparisons are fair, although I do like the new black/orange (or as JANG calls it; Halloween color) X-wing better than he does. But what do you think? How do you like the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets? Would love to hear your opinion, so feel free to share in the comment section below! I have also included a list of the seven new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets mentioned in the video for your reference with just their basic info. They are available under the LEGO Star Wars section of the Online LEGO Shop.
After Christmas most retailers will put their leftover inventory up for sale to free up shelf-space for items coming in the new year. LEGO fans are especially lucky in this regard because LEGO always comes out with a huge wave of new LEGO sets in January, so retailers mush get rid of the old stock at aggressive discounts. Thus this is an excellent time to pick up LEGO sets at discounted prices. Below we will look at the places you can find some great after Christmas LEGO deals. 🙂
One of the most obvious places to find after Christmas LEGO sales is of course at official LEGO stores as well as the Online LEGO Shop. If you have a LEGO store near you I would highly recommend stopping by as you can find some real bargains that are not available anywhere else. If not, check out the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop. LEGO’s after Christmas sale is usually 20% off, and as much as 50% off on some items. Better deals usually go extremely fast, so take a look as soon as possible at the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop. Also, remember that some of the 2016 LEGO sets are already available, so if you are struggling to meet the minimum for free shipping, you might want to check those as well at the What’s New section of the Online LEGO Shop.
The next best place to look for LEGO sales is at local big-box stores that regularly carry LEGO. I highly recommend checking at Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart. You can also check Toys’R’Us, although they are not known for having great deals after Christmas. Keep in mind that many times labels on the boxes and prices on the shelves will not be adjusted right away due to the after Christmas chaos, but you can take up the boxes to one of those price-checking stations to get the most current price. It is a bit inconvenient, but the good thing about it is that nobody else will know that LEGO is on sale so you don’t have to fight the competition. It’s all yours for the picking. 🙄
Online another place you can check is the Amazon LEGO Store. In general Amazon’s prices are the best, and with free shipping over $35 and no tax to most states even a smallish deal can save you a bundle. Here is the link: Amazon LEGO Store
Those are the places I would check for after Christmas LEGO sales. If you find any good deals please report back to the rest of us. Members of the online LEGO community have been excellent at supporting each other in previous years. And it’s also really fun. I will update this page in the comment section as myself and others are finding LEGO sets on sale, and you can do the same. So grab your shopping gear and let’s go for the big hunt! 😉
