June brand store calendar for USA just published
Posted by Huw,
I know it's only May 1st and this month's promotions at brand stores at shop.LEGO.com haven't even started yet, but the US calendar for June has been published already.
It looks to be a busy and expensive month: the three large LEGO Movie sets will be released on the 1st, as will the Cuusoo Ghostbusters model. And, The LEGO movie is out on DVD/Bly-Ray on the 17th.
The month's free set with qualifying purchases is this delightful 40108 Balloon Cart. The monthly mini model build is some sort of boat, I think.
While on the subject of MMMBs, we have one missing from the database, the dragon: it's the model for May in the USA but it was April's in Europe. Does anyone have a set number, or better still, scan of the instructions they can send me?
(via neoape).
In case you're losing track, the forthcoming shop.LEGO.com offers we know about are as follows:
USA/Canada:
- May 3-5: May 4th promotions, with free Darth Revan
- June 1-17: Free Balloon Cart
Europe:
- Now - May 4: May 4th promotions, with free Darth Revan
- May 16-31: Free Flash Shredder

Those balloons look nice, a nice addition to any City.
I like that set, I hope we get it in the UK.
The balloon set looks great, on a par with the hot dog stand perhaps.
Could the middle of May exclusive set be the Ghostbusters car? Although it will possibly be one of the LEGO Movie sets.
I still get May's calendar on the link though.
That's a very nice balloon cart.. Planning to visit the Lego Store in june so i'm looking fwd :)
^^ It's probably the fiarground mixer.
If only they had used the new inverted domes on those balloons!
@HUW The dragon set number is 40098 I have pictures if interested.....
Balloons? I've never seen balloons shaped like that. Before reading the article I thought they were Blow Pops. They do look like great Blow Pops!
40098 is right i have one too :) could make picture of the dragon and the build instruction^^
Yes please, either of you, please send to huw @ brickset.com.
What a great balloon cart! Wonder if we will see this thing in Europe..? <3
The dragon pdf should be available here after the build date for the rest of the month. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/MiniBuilds
Who puts eyes on a tree?......
i sent a copy and a picture of the dragon :D
Putting a balloon cart as the free model from spending 75 bucks seems pretty smart. it seems that (other than not being able to pack into the trucks) it would go great with the mixer.
Is the LEGO Movie DVD available in the UK from June 17th, or is that in the USA?
I love the balloon cart, but could probably make a similar version without spending $75.
I think the "some sort of boat" is a jet ski. In fact, I know it is, since it says so on the back of the calendar :)
Yeah, that's not a jet ski, no matter what LEGO says. That's a single-seat hovercraft.
LEGO are the people who once called a 'crocodile' locomotive a cable car, and a quad ATV a buggy. I don't trust them with transportation names. :)
An employee at the Las Vegas store said he heard the May preview set is the Mini Cooper.
The June calendar doesn't show up for me based on that link. It only shows May.
Either way I do want that polybag. Granted, there won't be 75$ worth of things I want to buy. And I could probably come up with most of those pieces out of my own collection. I doubt I have the balloon colors though.
Either way, how is one supposed to afford all of these LEGO sets?
@cucumber i think that the set is the fairground mixer.
To those not finding the June calendar through the link, on the page to the right of the May calendar there is an arrow to forward to next month.
Good choice for me to be in US this june.
Lego Store Palisade center I'll be there! :)
(or White plains if it open. ?? )
Can anyone make out the torso on the child in the balloon cart? I don't have that print yet.
It's likely this one:

im surprised no one noticed this yet but on the back of the sheet it has the Lego ultra agents and the mine craft end sets on it. This may also be coming out in June as well. Then my next question still stands, when is the mixer coming out. Anyway I think that balloon set will go really well with the mixer too.
Mixer is scheduled for June 1st I believe.
Sweet! All the new LEGO Movie sets out and the Ghostbusters set are on that calendar "Available June 1". I definitely won't have a problem spending $75 in June.
Plus The LEGO Movie is out on video June 17! Amazon has even updated the release date of the "Everything is Awesome" Edition that has non-blind Vitruvius http://www.amazon.com/The-LEGO-Movie-UltraViolet-Collectible/dp/B00J11U4J6/ We don't have to wait until August now! (which is what the release date was listed as before)
@riot_act many thanks!
Wow, I didn't realize there was 3 new TLM sets coming. They look like good ones too. Balloon set and Ghostbusters look great too. June should be a good month.
It would have been nice if they use the new inverted 2x2 dome piece for the balloons.
So happy my birthday is in June. Seems like a great month for LEGO releases. That balloon cart looks adorable. If I remember correctly last June was the hot dog Wagon poly. So anyway my birthday wishlist is
1. All 3 movie sets
2. Ecto-1
3. Anything LEGO lol
On the back of calendar it showed ultra agents are they getting released in june?
I love this balloon cart. I just hope the new Star Wars and/or LotR sets will be available so I have an excuse to buy it.
