As you might have heard by now, the Lone Ranger movie tanked – badly. Disney is expecting to loose at least $150 million on the film. Of course this wasn’t a surprise. A couple of years ago a similar film, Cowboys & Aliens, flopped as well. I have no idea why they keep pushing these Western-themed films; today’s movie-going crowd is just not as enamored with cowboy movies as previous generations. They should have known that… 😕
For LEGO fans however this is not so bad news; it just means that the LEGO Lone Ranger sets are going on sale! And, as you know, LEGO did a wonderful job on these sets! The design, the selection, the colors, and the minifigs are all really sweet. So if you are into Western, you will love the sets, and even if you are not, the dropping prices will allow you to pick up some nice parts and minifigs on the cheap for your own LEGO creations. Oh, and don’t forget about that lovely train!
The LEGO Lone Ranger sets are currently on sale on Amazon, and you can also expect local retailers to clear them out soon as well. At Amazon you get free shipping for orders over $25 and no tax to most states, plus the convenience of not having to go shopping. 🙄

Please keep in mind that prices on Amazon fluctuate quite a bit, so sale prices can be even better by the time you read this. Sets can also sell out quite fast, but I expect LEGO Lone Ranger sets to be around until the end of they year before they fully sell out at various retailers. Once the theme gets fully discontinued prices will rise again on the secondary market. I think these sets will be great-resellers; especially the stagecoach and the train. 🙄
