LEGO Bricktober Minifig Packs coming!

One of the sad side effects of the closing of Toys’R’Us stores in the US is that we were no longer expecting to get the LEGO Bricktober specials that only Toys’R’Us stores carried. A few days ago, Allen from TheBrickFan reported that LEGO Bricktober specials will continue in countries where Toys’R’Us still operates with four limited-edition minifig packs. 🙂

Each of the LEGO Bricktober minifig-packs includes four exclusive characters. The #5005254 LEGO Harry Potter Minifig Pack comes with Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape. The #5005255 LEGO Jurassic World Minifig Pack comes with Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and a small velociraptor. The #5005256 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Minifig Pack comes with War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky. And, the #5005257 LEGO Ninjago Minifig Pack comes with four characters from the LEGO Ninjago: Sons of Garmadon episodes.

LEGO fans in the US were disappointed that they won’t be able to collect these unique minifigures, however, LEGO conformed via Twitter that at least the #5005254 LEGO Harry Potter Minifig Pack will be available at Barnes & Noble. It is also likely that the other packs will also be distributed via Barnes and Noble, or perhaps other retailers, and even LEGO directly.

LEGO Bricktober sets are usually available one set at a time at each week of October with a minimum purchase. Toys’R’Us stores that are still open will follow similar rules this year, although the sets will be available earlier than usual. The LEGO Harry Potter Pack is listed for August 28 – September 2, the LEGO Jurassic World Pack for September 3–9, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Pack for September 10-16, and the LEGO Ninjago Pack for September 17-23. Barnes & Noble and other possible retailers in the in the US may have a similar arrangement, or it could have a different release schedule.

So, the good news is that LEGO fans in the US should have access to these exclusive minifigures, and the bad news is that we may have to hunt for them at obscure places. If you are interested to get them, it’s a good idea to start searching for them next month. I’m sure LEGO fan forums and news sites will also report on where to find the packs.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to the LEGO Bricktober sets? Would you like to get any of them? Or even all of them? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

Online LEGO Shop in five more countries!

in Community News

If you don’t have an official LEGO store near you, the Online LEGO Shop is one of the best places to enjoy a full LEGO shopping experience, including access to the full assortment of currently available sets, exclusive products and promotions each month, extended line items, and other unique services like LEGO Pick-A-Brick (where you can purchase LEGO elements by the piece). The Online LEGO Shop has been available in 24 countries, including the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, a number of countries in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. Recently, LEGO announced that they are expanding into five new countries; Slovakia, Greece, Latvia, Estonia, and Slovenia. 🙂

To commemorate this milestone, the Online LEGO Shop is running a promotion at the five new locations, with an opportunity to win a one-of-a-kind buildable flag. This extremely limited and rare set is not available for purchase anywhere.

If you are located in one of the five new countries added to the list, you can enter the promotion for a chance to win in two ways. First, you can simply make a purchase at the Online LEGO Shop of one of the five countries, and you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win. Alternatively, you may also send an email to WinaFlag@LEGO.com (no purchase necessary). This special promotion ends on September 23rd, so you have just about a month to enter.

To check out the new Online LEGO Shop pages and to learn more about the promotion, select from the links to the Online LEGO Shop of the newly added countries below:

If you are in one of the five new countries added to the list, have fun shopping! And if your country is still not on the list, there is hope that it will be added soon. The Online LEGO Shop team is working on adding other countries, but there are many logistics involved including dealing with different currencies, shipping, customer service, etc. One awesome day young and old LEGO fans from all countries might be able to shop from LEGO directly! What do you think? Feel free to share your own online shopping experiences in the comment section below! 😉
