Miscellaneous news Posted by Huw, Jun 30 2009 5:09PM
The countdown on the Games page still has a couple of hours to go but the sets are in the shop already! They are now listed on the Products launched in 2009 page and I have to say, the prices are quite reasonable. I'm hoping to get some promotional material from LEGO in the next day or so but in the meantime you'll have to make do with the descriptions on the LEGO site.
Update 1st July: the Games page is now live, but there's not much there, only links to the products in the shop.

Technic, Indiana Jones and more Star Wars sets including the Mon Calamari Star Cruiser are now available for order from LEGOshop in the UK. The neat Wind Turbine Transport set has also turned up.
They will appear in our data stream in the next day or two. In the meantime the Products launched in 2009 
at LEGOShop.com page should list them all.
Don't forget you can claim a free gold minifigure chain if you spend more than £60 and if you wait until tomorrow before placing your order you'll be able to get some Games sets too!

If you're in the UK: There's a sale now on at LEGOshop.com and in it are several of last year's Indiana Jones sets. What's more if you spend over £60 you'll receive a free gold minifigure keychain
! So, check out the Sales and Deals
and get that order in. The free keychain offer is also available in UK LEGO shops starting on July 1st.
In the US, it looks as if most the good stuff is sold out in the sale, but you can get the gold minifigure keychain
if you spend $75 or more.

Site update Posted by Huw, Jun 28 2009 5:21PM
I have just added another cool feature that has been asked for by many of you: you can now record your loose minifig collection at Brickset and also mark minifigs as wanted.
There are two places to do this: On the minifig detail pages you'll find the 'I own/I want' box in the menu just like for sets. You can record the quantity you own and, if you don't already own a 'fig, you can tick is as wanted. However the easiest place to do it is on your minifig collection page. Click on the View your minifig collection link under 'My sets' and once you've chosen a minifig theme you'll find the ' 'I own/I want' checkboxes. The minifig collection page has been enhanced to include a search facility.
Also on the 'My sets' page, once you've marked some as wanted, you'll be able to View the minifigs you want, Export your minifig list as a CSV, and most usefully Export your wanted minifigs in XML format that can be imported into your wanted list at BrickLink.
Note you'll need to have registered and be signed in for the links above to work, so if you haven't already, what are you waiting for: sign up today!

The highly anticipated Grand Carousel set is now available from LEGOshop in the USA, a couple of days early. With over 3200 pieces it's the 6th largest LEGO set ever released in terms of number of pieces (the Taj Mahal is the largest, with 5900) so it's sure to be a challenging build.
It's been a busy week for releases and as a reminder you can see a list of everything available from LEGOshop.com, shown in reverse chronological order with the newest at the top of the page, by clicking on the More... link next to the 'New at LEGOshop.com' title above, or by subscribing to our RSS feeds from the links on the right.

No sign of IJ in Europe yet, but then we have the launch of the Games sets next week to look forward to...
(Thanks Mr.Bob for the heads-up!)

This is a pretty awful set to be perfectly honest: it looks wierd and who needs yet more black pieces, anyway. Its one redeeming feature is that it comes with three unique and pretty cool minifigs. If you've been wanting them but didn't want to pay full price then now's the time to buy. It's now available for just $25 in the USA from LEGOshop.com so when you order your chrome minifigs you might as well throw one of these in your basket at the same time.
I reckon LEGO has warehouses full of these as they are going to be half price in brand stores in the UK as well, on 6-8 July. (Thanks Everett)
Update: It seems I was mistaken about its popularity: it's sold out already!

Looks like the new LEGO® Star Wars™ 10th Anniversary Stormtrooper™ Magnet 
set is now available to buy from LEGO Shop, at least for US & Canadian buyers. Priced at $9.99US / $14.99 Canadian
Thanks to Andreas for the info :-)
UPDATE - we've been informed that the LEGO Brand Store in Milton Keynes, UK, has received a delivery of 'Chrometrooper' magnet sets & they are already on sale. The assumption is that the other UK Brand Stores have also received them, but this is unconfirmed, so, as usual, check before starting your journey !
