If you haven’t done all your LEGO holiday shopping yet, LEGO is offering a second chance in December, along with some new promotions, and new sets. Below, we will discuss what’s new this month, and all the specials you can take advantage of. Happy holidays! 🙂

➡ FREE LEGO NINJAGO MOVIE KEYCHAIN: December 1-7, you will get the #5004915 LEGO Ninjago Movie Master Wu Keychain with purchases of $35 or more. This is a nice little stocking-stuffer for fans of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, and LEGO Ninjago in general. Please note that this offer is valid on all purchases, not just sets from The LEGO Ninjago Movie, both at official LEGO stores and at the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO CREATOR MINI LONDON BUS: December 8-17 you will get the #40220 LEGO Creator Mini London Bus with purchases of $75 or more. This great little set goes well with the #10258 LEGO Creator London Bus. It’s nice to see that LEGO is making it into a tradition to offer tiny versions of LEGO Creator vehicles. This offer is also valid on all purchases at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ FREE LEGO STAR WARS DARTH VADER POD: Between December 15 and January 14, you will get a free LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod with purchases of $60 or more. We talked about these little pods previously (see: LEGO Promotional Pods Polybag Collection), and it’s great to see that more are added to the collection. This offer is valid on LEGO Star Wars purchases only. See the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO DOUBLE VIP POINTS: Yes! LEGO is again offering Double VIP Points for LEGO VIP members (December 8-10)! This means that during the non-Double VIP Points period you can spend your points, and during the Double VIP Points period you will earn twice as much as normal. So, December will be good for both earning and spending VIP Points. Also, remember that VIP Points expire at the end of December, two years after they were originally earned. Make sure you use up any points that you may have left that would otherwise expire (LEGO send out several email alerts if you have any points expiring soon). Double VIP Points is the best time to get large sets, or a number of smaller sets, so you can maximize your earnings on a larger purchase. If you have been eyeing some of the new sets, like the #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker’s Manor and #10256 LEGO Creator Taj Mahal, or the 2018 sets that are starting to show up, this is an excellent time to get them. To see what’s new, visit the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO BATMAN MOVIE THE JOKER MANOR AVAILABLE: The #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor was released on Black Friday, and it is already getting lots of enthusiastic reviews. The set is massive, with 3444 pieces, and it includes a whole new rollercoaster system, all wrapped around Batman’s manor! You can find the set at the LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO CREATOR TAJ MAHAL AVAILABLE: Released on Cyber Monday, the #10256 LEGO Creator Taj Mahal is a repackaged version of the #10189 LEGO Taj Mahal from 2008. It is 5923 pieces, and the price is $369.99. If you missed out on the original set, these is your chance to own it for regular retail price. You can find it at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO CITY SETS AVAILABLE: Several of the 2018 LEGO City sets are now available, including the very fun #60173 LEGO City Mountain Arrest with a bear, a guy in boxers, and a beehive! There are also a number of other great sets, like the #60182 LEGO City Pickup & Caravan. You can find them all under the LEGO City section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO CREATOR SETS AVAILABLE: The first wave of the 2018 LEGO Creator sets are also now available, including the #31081 LEGO Creator Modular Skate House, the #31075 LEGO Creator Outback Adventures, the #31076 LEGO Creator Stunt Plane, the #31071 LEGO Creator Drone Explorer, and the #31072 LEGO Creator Extreme Engines. All of them are 3-in-1 sets, so you can rebuild them in at least three different ways. Find them at the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO JUNIORS SETS AVAILABLE: Four 2018 LEGO Juniors sets are also listed; #10751 LEGO Juniors Mountain Police Chase, #10750 LEGO Juniors Road Repair Truck, #10749 LEGO Juniors Mia’s Organic Food Market, and #10748 LEGO Juniors Emma’s Pet Party. You can find them at the LEGO Juniors section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO NINJAGO SETS AVAILABLE: The second wave of sets related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie are also now available. This includes the #70629 LEGO Ninjago Movie Piranha Attack, the #70631 LEGO Ninjago Movie Garmadon’s Volcano Lair, the #70632 LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech, and the #70656 LEGO Ninjago Movie Garmadon, Garmadon, GARMADON! sets. All of The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are very well designed, look great on display, and incredibly fun. You can find them all under The LEGO Ninjago Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS SETS AVAILABLE: All five of the first wave of 2018 LEGO Nexo Knights are now available, with some really fun designs and play-features. You can find them all at the LEGO Nexo Knights section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ 2018 LEGO TECHNIC SETS AVAILABLE: Some of the 2018 LEGO Technic sets are also listed early, including the really pretty #42074 LEGO Technic Racing Yacht, and my favorites; the two new LEGO Technic pull-back racers! (I have been collecting those for several years.) You can find them all at the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

More 2018 LEGO sets should be trickling in between now and the end of the year, so if you are interested to get some early, make sure you check the what’s new section of the Online LEGO Shop. And, of course, you don’t have to focus on the new sets, there are plenty of amazing offers in the 2017 collections as well. This includes the new LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi sets, the beautiful #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store, the LEGO Juniors sets for younger builders, the LEGO Disney sets, the lovely LEGO Friends Snow Resort sets, the LEGO Minecraft sets, the last wave of the LEGO Nexo Knights sets, LEGO Super Heroes sets (both for DC and Marvel fans), the LEGO Super Hero Girls sets, The LEGO Ninjago Movie collection, all the new LEGO Technic sets, the LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox, the LEGO Creator London Bus, and more. And before you check out, I also recommend taking a look at the sales and deals section of the Online LEGO Shop to see what’s on clearance.

In summary, remember the dates of the freebies the Double VIP Points period (especially if you are planning to purchase some large sets), redeem any VIP Points that are going to expire at the end of the year (if you have any), and check on the 2018 LEGO sets and the clearance items at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

The LEGO Storage Guide by Tom Alphin

by on November 30, 2017
in LEGO Care & Storage

LEGO fan Tom Alphin is known for his passion for the LEGO Architecture line, as well as his interest in assisting LEGO fans with finding storage solutions for their ever-growing LEGO collection. We have discussed Tom’s project with the #21050 LEGO Architecture Studio set (see: LEGO Architecture Studio 30-Day Challenge), and his downloadable labels for storage units (see: LEGO Brick Labels for Your Storage Cabinets). Tom also wrote a book, The LEGO Architect, for fellow LEGO Architecture fans. 🙂

Recently, Tom embarked on a new project, what he hopes to become the ultimate guide to organizing, sorting, and storing LEGO bricks, minifigs, complete sets, instruction manuals, and more. The LEGO Storage Guide is already 10 chapters and about 50 pages long, full of very useful guidance to manage your LEGO collection. Currently, Tom is looking for feedback and suggestions to further improve his guide. Below are the details.

The in-depth LEGO Storage Guide helps you understand your LEGO collection, find the best way to organize your LEGO bricks, and discover the best LEGO storage for your home and budget. It also includes recommendations for displaying and storing your LEGO minifigures. The guide contains two sections:

Both broad sections are broken down into smaller chapters, each focusing on a particular aspect of getting a handle on your LEGO collection. I like that the guide offers not just a one-size-fits-all solution, but it takes into consideration things like the age of the LEGO fan, the size of the collection, the amount of space available, budget, and whether the system needs to be portable. Below is a list of the chapters with links, so you can check them out yourself. And, if you want to bookmark the main page of the guide, you can find it here: THE LEGO STORAGE GUIDE

Most of the storage and display solutions Tom highlights in his guide are readily available in North America, and there are usually similar ones in other areas. Tom also plans to add region-specific recommendations in the future, so if you have special storage and display solutions in your country, let him know.

Whether you are just starting out in the LEGO hobby and looking for your first storage and display solution, or you want to tweak your current system, head over to Tom’s guide and see if you find some tips and tricks to make your own LEGO organization easier. And, if you have any thoughts, feedback, and ideas, you can either share them at his website, or in the comment section below. I’m, in touch with Tom, so will make sure that he reads them and responds. 😉
