2014 LEGO sets – New York Toy Fair report

by Thita (admin) on February 22, 2014

As we have discussed previously January/February of every year is when the various large international Toy Fairs happen; first in London, then in Germany, then in New York. This is when LEGO themes and sets for the new year get revealed. We have already discussed the London and German Toy Fairs, and today we will talk about the New York Toy Fair! 🙂

I’m not going to repeat all the information that we have discussed in the previous Toy Fair reports; for the upcoming set names and prices check out the 2014 LEGO Sets – London Toy Fair Report, and for pictures and videos see the 2014 LEGO Sets – German To Fair Report. However there is some new coverage and videos with more details that I think you will like.

Flickr user Ricky Brigante covered the LEGO section of the Toy Fair with excellent pictures. You can check out his gallery for over 200 pictures of the upcoming 2014 LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Legends of Chima, LEGO Mixels, LEGO Hero Factory, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO DC Super Heroes, LEGO City, LEGO Friends, LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, LEGO Ultra Agents, The LEGO Movie sets and more!

The BrickShow also participated in the Toy Fair and covered pretty much every upcoming set in a series of short videos. You can see those below. Please note that there are 55 videos in this series, and although each of them only take a couple of minutes, the total viewing time is over an hour and a half. If you don’t want to watch all of the videos in order, you can also go to the BrickShow’s YouTube channel to just select the ones you want.

And while we are waiting for the later wave of 2014 LEGO sets to hit the shelves, don’t forget that the first wave of the 2014 LEGO sets are now available! You can find them all listed at the Online LEGO Shop.

LEGO Ghostbusters set coming soon!

by Thita (admin) on February 21, 2014

While LEGO is still working out the details on the LEGO Exo Suit, the sixth LEGO CUUSOO set designed by Peter Reid, they did unveil the seventh LEGO CUUSOO project, the #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters set at the recent New York Toy Fair. It’s not every year a pop culture classic like Ghostbusters has a big anniversary (June 8th 2014 is the 30th anniversary of the release of the film), so the team at LEGO CUUSOO has been working overtime to make this set available as soon as possible. 🙂

I have to say that while I was quite disappointed with the #21103 LEGO DeLorean Time Machine that was recently released under the CUUSOO line, the #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters looks excellent! Below are some details on this upcoming LEGO CUUSOO set.

This fun and iconic vehicle from the blockbusting ‘80s movie is fully loaded with all the paranormal detection equipment needed to track down those ghastly ghosts. It also features cool Ghostbusters logo decoration, removable roof, tracking computer and seats for 3 minifigures.

Brent Waller, the creator of this LEGO Ghostbusters set recently shared with the CUUSOO team that he has been a lifelong Ghostbusters fan: “As a child I would recreate Ghostbusters out of LEGO. I had a very primitive Ecto-1, Ecto-1A and the Firehouse as well as all of the main characters with LEGO Classic Space air-tanks for Proton Packs. As an adult rediscovering my love of LEGO, recreating it now was a way of recapturing that unbridled creativity of my youth.” Below is Brent in his Ghostbusters costume, including proton-tank (visit his flickr gallery for more).

The #21108 LEGO Ghostbusters set will be available for purchase in June 2014 for USD $49.99 / CAD $59.99. In the meantime you can check out the other LEGO CUUSOO sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think of the LEGO Ghostbusters set? Do you like it? Are you planning to get it when it becomes available? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
