April 2015 – new LEGO sets & promotions

by Thita (admin) on April 1, 2015

A new month means new offers and promotions from LEGO, so let’s take a look at what we are getting this time. As you know, last month LEGO released a big wave of new sets and themes, so this month is a lot calmer – which is not a bad thing, as it allows us to catch up LEGO sets we didn’t have a chance to get last month. 🙂

➡ 2015 LEGO NINJAGO SETS & FREE POLYBAG: If you place an order this month for $50 or more, you will receive the #30293 LEGO Ninjago Kai Drifter set as a free gift. While this offer is valid for all orders not just Ninjago sets, you might want to check out the 2015 LEGO Ninjago sets released just last month. You can find all the new sets under the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2015 LEGO BIONICLE SETS & DOUBLE VIP POINTS: The resurrected LEGO BIONICLE theme got a large wave of brand new sets in January, and LEGO is continuing promote the theme with special offers. Last month we got a free LEGO BIONICLE Hero Pack with any purchase, and this month you can get Double VIP Points on two of the new LEGO BIONICLE sets: the #70789 LEGO BIONICLE Onua Master of Earth and the #70790 LEGO BIONICLE Lord of Skull Spiders. You can find all the BIONICLE sets at the LEGO BIONICLE section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2015 LEGO ELVES SETS & EVENTS: The first wave of LEGO Elves were released last month, and from everything I have heard so far, the theme has been extremely successful and well received by the LEGO fan community. LEGO Elves have literally enchanted not just children, but also adult LEGO fans. The beautiful colors, sweet accessories, cute mini-dolls, and really nice builds are hard to resists! If you live near a LEGO store, or planning to visit one, you can try out and play with the new LEGO Elves sets until the 26th of April at LEGO store locations. I think you will really like them. You can find all the new sets at the LEGO Elves section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2015 LEGO SIMPSONS SETS: For LEGO VIP members the big news this month is that they will have early access to a new exclusive LEGO set from mid-April. While the calendar doesn’t say this specifically, we can be pretty sure that this is going to be the recently announced #71016 LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart. (There is also going to be a second series of LEGO Simpsons Collectible Minifigs, but I’m not sure exactly when they will be released.) The LEGO Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart will be available for non-VIP members in May. We have discussed the LEGO Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart previously (see link at the end of this post), so I won’t repeat details here, however I will say that that I’m pretty sure this set is going to be a real winner and will likely be hard to find for a while until LEGO is able to catch up with demand. I also expect a spike in demand for the previously released #71006 LEGO The Simpsons House as people want to get into collecting the sets.

In addition to the above mentioned promotions, don’t forget about all the exciting new sets that were released last month, including LEGO Pirates, LEGO Ultra Agents, LEGO Speed Champions and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. And if you are shopping online, it is worth taking a look at the Sales & Deals section of the Online LEGO Shop before you check out. There are some nice sets there with a good discount, and likely more will be added as they get retired. If you live near an official LEGO store, there are other events you can participate in during the month. On April 7th, the Monthly Mini Model Build will be a UFO. And on April 18th and 25th kids can participate in the LEGO Club Meetings.

So what do you think? Are you planning to take advantage of any of the offers this month? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

New Custom LEGO Minifigs by CitizenBrick

by Thita (admin) on March 31, 2015

in LEGO Customizers

There are a bunch of new items from LEGO customizer CitizenBrick that I wanted to show you today. If you are not familiar with CitizenBrick, they are one of the best LEGO customizers in the USA (they can also ship worldwide), focusing on very high quality custom printed LEGO minifigures and accessories. I personally own many of CitizenBrick’s custom printed items and I’m very happy with them. The quality and detail of the printing is top notch and very durable. So let’s take a look at some of the new items. 🙂

➡ CUSTOM LEGO SCOUTS: “Learn the necessary skills to master the Great Outdoors as you gather enough merit badges to crush your enemies!” There are three newly listed custom LEGO scout minifigs, one older scout with a full array of badges, and two young scouts in blue uniforms. They are $12 each, and very cute. Perfect gift for a young scout in your family!

➡ CUSTOM LEGO ZOMBIES: “How do you apply a life sentence to the undead? This and other questions are yours to ponder with your new Inmate Zombie minifig! Priced cheap, so you can build a whole cell block full!” Note that these minifigs are fully printed, even on the side of the legs! You can also get extra head pieces with different expressions if you choose to, as CitizenBrick offers several different zombie heads. The zombies are $10 each, which is very reasonable for fully custom printed minifigures.

➡ CUSTOM LEGO US AIRBORNE: “The next in our line of deluxe WWII minifigures, CitizenBrick’s US Airborne. Pad printed from head to toe, and including a BrickArms proto M1 Carbine!” CitizenBrick is well known for their incredibly detailed military minifigures, and this latest addition is no exception. Torso, arms, legs, head and helmet are all fully printed. The price is $20 for this guy – not cheap, but totally worth it.

➡ CUSTOM LEGO ELVIS ENTHUSIAST: “If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, this minifig is the flatterest. To be clear, this is not an Elvis minifig. It’s a minifig of a guy impersonating Elvis. Get it?” This minifig is fully printed at the front and back of the torso, the arms and the front and side of the legs. And I particularly like his facial expression. What a stud! This minifig is $15 and comes with a microphone.

➡ CUSTOM LEGO MINIFIG PARTS: Besides buying fully custom printed minifigures, you can also buy minifigure parts, minifig accessories, printed tiles, and many more items from CitizenBrick. Some of their latest offerings are pictured below. Custom printed accessories can range anywhere between a $1 and $6, depending on the amount of detail and complexity. You can check out all the items at CitizenBrick’s Online Shop.

So what do you think? How do you like these custom printed minifigures and accessories by CitizenBrick? Do you have any of their products already? Or are you planning to get some? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 🙂
