  1. Here's a pretty good deal if you're a fan of Ninjago and Hero Factory. Overstock has a four-pack of DVDs on sale for only $15.75 right here. The set includes Masters of Spijitzu, Rise of the Green Ninja, Rise of the Rookies, and Savage planet. Not a bad deal for all four shows! View the full article
  2. By 2030, LEGO is hoping to replace the ABS used in its bricks with a new, sustainable resin. As <a href='http://www.plasticsnews.com/article/20140218/NEWS/140219915/lego-looking-for-a-sustainable-replacement-for-abs' target='offsite'>Plastc News</a> reports, Allan Rasmussen, senior project manager for LEGO, recently gave a talk at the Innovation Takes Root conference to discuss the progress so far and the many challenges they face. As long as they are able to meet their strict quality standards I think this is a great move and look forward to seeing how they progress. View the full article

  4. As per usual, we're saving the best sets for last. For a long time, LEGO has been making 'Bricks & More' sets, targeted at kids who have moved on from Duplo but aren't yet ready for the more advanced System builds. This year, they've rebranded that line as 'LEGO Juniors' and have introduced licensed sets into the mix. And of course there's also many new Duplo sets, including quite a few based on licensed themes. Read on to check them out! View the full article
  5. The heroes in a half shell are back in green, with more sets based off the cartoon as well as sets based off the upcoming movie.

  6. What would LEGO be without City? A bestseller year after year, in 2014 LEGO goes north into the Arctic.

  8. While not everyone may be interested in Friends and the Disney Princess lines, they're still very popular in the market. They also tend to include pieces in colors you wouldn't normally find, and introduce plenty of new elements too. So why don't you come check out what LEGO has in store for fans of the mini-dolls!

  9. While I had read some rumors, I didn't even know that the sequel for The LEGO Movie was officially greenlit yet, but now it has a release date: May 26, 2017. Yep, over three years away and they already know exactly when it'll be in theaters - so mark your calendars! As <a href='http://www.superherohype.com/news/292391-the-lego-movie-sequel-is-officially-set-for-may-26-2017#/slide/1' target='offsite'>SuperHeroHype reports</a>, the only other information we have is that Jared Stern and Michelle Morgan will be writing the screenplay. I'm glad the movie is still three years away, because it suggests they're going to take their time and do it right. Let's start the countdown and cross our fingers for another hit!

  14. In 2014, LEGO is continuing their partnership with DC Comics and is releasing some new Batman-centric sets. While I hope they continue to branch out in the future, what they've come up with is pretty cool, and may see a surge in sales after Batman being a main character in The LEGO Movie. So let's see what they showed off at Toy Fair! View the full article
  15. Sometimes LEGO makes products that it doesn't sell through its normal retail channels, and those products are called 'Direct to Consumer' or 'D2C.' They usually don't get displayed at Toy Fair, but this year LEGO decided to show off a few, including revealing the Ghostbusters Cuusoo set! It was a nice change of pace that I hope to see continue moving forward. To see what was on display, read on! View the full article
  16. LEGO and Star Wars are celebrating fifteen years of partnership this year, and they have a great lineup of sets to commemorate the anniversary. From the classic trilogy to the new Rebels TV show, there's a little bit of everything. LEGO and Disney just want to steal more of my money, so if you don't want to spend some of your own, don't read on! (But seriously, you should go check out the sets.) View the full article
  17. Christian Faber has updated his blog, the aptly named Faber Files, to let us know about a new video his team has put together. Check out <a href='http://faberfiles.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-making-of-invasion-from-below.html' target='offsite'>the entry</a> to see the making of 'Invasion From Below.' It contains some interesting insight into what went on the movie - for example, did you know the ending was supposed to have the heroes make peace with the beasts but was completely redone in the last twelve hours of production? Check it out! View the full article
  18. The Mixels are a new collectable theme from LEGO this year, and all three series were on display at Toy Fair 2014. There's a lot of variety in these sets, and some creative part usage. Of course, they're also some of the first sets to utilize the new, smaller ball joint system. To find out what makes these guys tick, read on! View the full article
  19. LEGO continues to maintain the Marvel Superhero license, which means a whole bunch of new sets.

  23. It's been a long time coming, but BZPower Member Mask collector has finally made one of his dreams come true - he is the proud owner of the one-of-a-kind platinum Avohkii, a prize from the 2003 Cartoon Network contest celebrating the Mask of Light movie. You can see his topic about the acquisition <a href='http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=12083'>here</a>. The $15,000 that Mask collector paid may be the most anyone has ever spent for a single LEGO piece, and the transaction was big enough to warrant <a href='http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20140217/articles/140219597' target='offsite'>an article in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat</a>. Congratulations to Mask collector for finally obtaining this coveted mask! View the full article
  24. By popular demand, next up in our Toy Fair 2014 coverage we have The LEGO Movie! The film is still number one in the box office after two weekends and I'm sure that's helping the sets fly off the shelves. Of course, in my opinion, the coolest sets aren't even out yet! Read on to see what's coming later this year from this awesome theme. View the full article
