  • LEGO Shop - Now available in Norway

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by bluemoose, Oct 14 2009 11:20AM

    Norwegian Flag

    LEGO have updated the LEGO Shop on-line store to now accept orders from Norway, which has, strangely, been the notable exception to the northern/western European countries supported up until now.

    Thanks to Øyvind for the news; he comments that "... it is good shopping news for us Norwegians ... prices are good; same as in the catalog and normal toy store prices."

    More details...

    The much anticipated Winter Toy Shop iconcan now be ordered from LEGOshop.com priced £39.15 in the UK, as previously reported, and US$60 in the USA.  It's not yet in our product feed and is a job to actually find on the LEGO site (searching for 10199 or Winter Toy Shop is unsuccessful) so use these links to order it: UKicon | USA icon (thanks dermott47)

    Also, whung found two more Christmas sets in the LEGO instructions cache: 30008 Snowman and 30009 Christmas Tree. As if there weren't enough holiday sets to buy already!

    UPDATE - These sets are starting to appear in LEGO Brand Stores & Imagination Centers; we have received confirmed reports from the US (Minneapolis) & the UK (Milton Keynes), so it's presumably in the German stores too.

    Another update: As proof that LEGO read Brickset, I've been asked to inform you that searching for the terms mentioned above DOES now work!

    (Updated) Echo Base and the Endor set can now be ordered from SOME European countries but while they were appearing as available earlier in the week for shipping to the UK, they have been removed from the UK shop website and Brickset readers in the UK have reported that they've been removed from their orders. What a cock-up... (Thanks to keithkram)

    8039 is now listed on LEGOShop.com, priced at  £97.85 in the UK and €139 in most Euro-zone countries, and is available now.

    This is sure to be a popular set: it's been in Brickset's popular searches list since day one of the new site launch and is in the top ten of the most wanted set list, so order 8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser  from LEGOshop.com now!

    It's still marked as unavailable in the US and Canada.

    LEGO's products launched in 2009icon list now lists all summer releases, even the Star Wars ones, although these, and the Space Police 3 sets are marked as not available and the SW sets (other than 8039) have no images.

    Thanks to Steven M for the tip-off!.

    EDIT - It looks like the 3 new Castle & 2 of the new Space Police sets are now priced & available to order across most of Europe & Australia/New Zealand. Oddly, Space Police is still not listed for Germany or Austria.

    They're almost here...

    LEGOshop.com has listed as currently "not available" about forty-five new releases including City, Castle, Agents, Racers, Space Police and several Duplo sets for customers in Europe, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand.

    I see 8169 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 is amongst the new releases but the three Power Miners sets are missing although they are available already in the shops here (NZ). I think June is going to be an expensive month!

    UPDATE: The City and Castle sets, and the Lamborghini are now available for ordering!

  • Star Wars Promotion 3-4th May

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Apr 30 2009 4:54PM

    There is now a page on lego.com that says to come back at 12:01 on May 3rd for more information, but it would seem that the promotion will involve a poster of every SW minifig made which you are presumably sent when you place an order over a certain amount.

    I think you can only view the page if your country is set to USA (and probably Canada) so I reckon us Europeans will be out of luck :-(

    (Thanks to ljr7225 for the heads-up and WedgeAntilles for additional info)

    For a few days last week LEGOshop.com listed a black NXT brick for sale in North America. It's since been pulled from their listings and attempts to find it on their site results in a page not found.

    It's possible that it's version 2 of the NXT brick: we know there's a new NXT 2.0 set, 8547, due out this year. I guess it was listed in the shop by mistake!

    If you're near a LEGO brand store (Brighton, Milton Keynes or Bluewater) you should be able to grab some 2009 sets before Christmas. Bluemoose reports that in addition to the town square (priced at a very reasonable 68.50) "they have both new Indy sets (car chase & german plane), both new Star Wars 'army builder' sets, new Jedi starfighter & clone assault gun-boat thing, some of the new racer sets, the new City crane & City digger, the new mini F-14-like creator set, but no Miners or Farm yet."

    No sign of them on LEGOshop.com yet though. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer to be able to order them from there...

  • Last few days for Christmas shopping

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Dec 14 2008 4:47AM

    If you're looking to buy gifts from LEGOShop.com for delivery before Christmas you'd better be quick and get ordering soon because the last shipping dates to guarantee pre-Christmas delivery are fast approaching! The exact date varies by country but for the UK it's December 16th and the USA it's December 22nd.

    In previous years in the UK, the next year's sets have become available a day or two after the last shipping date, so let's hope that's the case this year so we can order our own presents for delivery just after Christmas!

    Once again, it is approaching a new year. For LEGO collectors, this usually means one thing: new sets! However, a word of caution, before you start stocking up on Pirates, Power Miners, and City Farm sets, make sure you have everything from this year that you want, as no one outside the LEGO Group knows exactly what will be discontinued. Based on previous years, however, it is almost a guarantee that certain sets WILL be discontinued. For instance: Star Wars Battle Packs, Racers Tiny Turbos, and BIONICLE Matoran are often hard to find around the holidays, and by the time the new year shows up, the next years line-up is there and the last years is gone. Don't forget Mars Mission is being replaced by a new Space line next year, too. Also, anything from 2007 should be snapped up fast, and it goes without saying that any Store Exclusives that are still around won't be for much longer, so grab them while you can!

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Aug 28 2008 10:13AM

    This article on the ToyNews website lists many of the sets we have seen pictures of already but also mentions "Power Miners" which sound like the return of Rock Raiders - a theme that had many appealing features, but was released at the time when LEGO were excessively juniorising many of their sets. Let's hope that's not the case this time round!

    The two LEGO Factory space sets can now be bought from LEGOshop.com in Europe. However they seem a tad expensive to me. At £70 (or €100 in Germany) for under 1000 pieces they do not compare well with Market Street, for example, which is £10 cheaper and has about 400 more parts. They don't seem to be available from LEGOshop.com in the US, but I suspect they'll be somewhat less than $150, which the exchange rate would suggest given the European prices.

  • A few news snippets...

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Mar 20 2008 5:10PM

    It's a bit quiet for news at the moment. I guess the frenzy of early year activity of new sets hitting the shelves is over, as is the toy fair season. Here's a few snippets of recently reported news:

    • bsmarthen advises us that some of the Speed Racers sets are now available in KMart in the USA
    • There are some better pictures of the space Factory sets, 10191 and 10192 floating about so I have added them here
    • Argos in the UK has 25% off all LEGO and'll give you a £5 voucher when you spend over £50 and a £10 one when you spend over £100

    Last but certainly not least, a very exciting piece of news:

    • A book with details of 8000 LEGO sets released over the last 50 years is being published in May. This will be particularly interesting to us here at Brickset. We'll at last be able to determine how complete our database is, and maybe even find sets missing in the book. It will be available from LEGO brand stores, S@H and can be pre-ordered now from the publisher's site. As soon as we get a copy we'll post a review here.

  • LEGO Annual Report

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by shima55, Feb 22 2008 1:11PM

    The LEGO Group has posted their latest Annual Report and for the most part it is good news, especially for the City theme. Included are some reasons as to why EXO-FORCE is to be cancelled, good and bad news for BIONICLE - three more movies? Wow! Plus the LEGO Group's expectations for the coming year. Take a look, it makes for a good read!

    Update: Apparently it was an error, as the set has not shown up yet. We will be sure to tell you when it does.

  • "LEGO blocks return to Wal-Mart shelves"

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Feb 20 2008 5:04PM

    So my Google news alerts claim today, so the sad news for Canadians was short lived :-)

  • An even sadder day for Exo-Force fans

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Feb 8 2008 3:33PM

    You may have read elsewhere the announcement from Jan Beyer, Community Development Manager, LEGO:

    "Regarding the low sales of the EXO FORCE line, the decision was made to stop the line at the end of 2008. The sales were good in 2006 but in 2007 the sales did not meet the expectations and the expectation was that even an expensive marketing campaign could not get the sales to the expected level."

    That suprises me for two reasons. First, it's unusual to get such an annoucement about the end of a product line. I don't recall seeing something similar for Vikings, for example. Second, I'm really surprised that Exo-Force aren't selling! I for one love them and I know a lot of you do too. I guess the target audience, boys 7-10, prefer Bionicle.

  • Happy 50th Anniversary, LEGO brick!

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Jan 28 2008 4:05AM

    Today marks the 50th anniversay of the LEGO brick. It was this day, back in 1958, that LEGO were granted the patent for the stud-and-tube design of the automatic binding brick.

    To mark the occasion Google's logo is made from LEGO and there are loads of news articles in papers and websites all over the world. I will be featured in an article in Southampton's Southern Daily Echo, and fellow Brickish Association members have been featured on UK TV, including BBC Breakfast on Friday, when our chairman Simon Bennett constructed a model of the studio live on air.

    If there's something notable happening where you live, add a comment to let us know!

     

  • Silent Sale at S@H

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Grahame, Jan 21 2008 11:07PM

    Ronbonne reports that he has purchased some Mindstorms sensors from Shop At Home (US) and discovered they have a "silent" sale going on. Most sensors were 20% discounted; the "silent" part of this sale is that you only find out what the discount is once you put the items in you shopping basket; the lower prices are NOT listed on the item pages..!

  • Power Functions price hike at LEGO Shop At Home (UK)

    8882: XL-Motor
    8882: XL-Motor
    More details...

    When the prices for the Power Functions were announced in the latest S@H catalogue, I was surprised how cheap they were. It would appear that LEGO were too once they'd re-done their calculations because the prices have increased considerably already. For example, the XL motor is listed at £3.99 but now costs £7.99.

    However, if you're quick you can still order them at the old prices: Simply click-through from here, add them to your cart, then use catalogue code EJ99 or EJ80 when you check-out. You should find that the prices are reduced to the old level.

    This will only work until the end of March when another catalogue is released.

  • My e-mails are all gone..

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Grahame, Jan 20 2008 2:56AM

    I have lost all my e-mails!!!

    To all those people who have sent me details of sets and images that we don't yet have at Brickset, can you please send them again?

    I'm not sure what happened; I was away at the time.

    Thank you.

  • Comments being deleted

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by shima55, Jan 18 2008 11:48PM

    We have received many e-mails about comments being deleted from a certain news article. Due to an outbreak of members abusing the comments facility on the news article in question, I have been forced to delete many comments from said article. The reason some newer comments have been deleted is because they relate to the deleted comments. Please do not continually put comments up asking why previous ones have been deleted. I hope this clears up the matter for everyone, and thank you for your co-operation.

  • Sharing your collection with others

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Jan 2 2008 3:15PM

    In response to my request for ideas for new features, someone asked for the ability to share their collection and wants lists with others. This was a quick thing to do so on the 'Sets I own' and 'Sets I want' page you'll now see a link which you can send to others to enable them to see your data. Note that you need to ensure that 'Allow other members to view my collection' is ticked on your profile otherwise they'll see a blank list.

    While I was at it I have also increased the results page size from 25 rows to 50. If that slows things down too much for you them let me know and I'll reduce it again.

    The LEGO Shop At Home sale has started, and the 2008 sets are now available for order in the UK. They have not appeared in our product feed yet (so you'll still see nothing if you click on the link above), so click on the yellow graphic link on the menu to the left and get ordering!

    The sale includes some interesting sets which are selling out fast, so don't delay, order today :-)

    Update Jan 2nd: The feed now includes new sets and those on sale. The link above now works for the UK!

  • A yearly event.

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by shima55, Dec 17 2007 3:38PM

    Every year, around this time, LEGO shelves are not stocked well. In a month or two, this problem will be gone. But, many of the sets released this year will not be restocked, as they have been discontinued. So, before you buy every new 2008 set, make sure to look and see if there aren't some 2007 sets you still want, as they may not be around much longer.

Here is an official link provided by the LEGO Group to view it on your computer. There are mostly commercials for recent sets, but there are also some Brickfilms, an EXO-FORCE movie, Revenge of the Brick, and some other movies.

  • 2008 Sets Now Available from Shop-At-Home in North America.

    Twenty-one 2008 sets are now available from Shop-At-Home for North American customers. Sets include Exo-Force, Racers and Creator. For some reason they are not yet appearing in our product feed, though. As soon as they are we'll provide a quick link to the 2008 sets on S@H for US and UK customers.

  • 2008 sets appearing in US shops

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Nov 23 2007 5:07PM

    Several correspondents have reported that Toys R Us in the USA have started stocking 2008 sets, including the Exo-Force ones, so if you're near one, go and check it out!

    The appearance of new sets after Thanksgiving has been the norm for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately we in the UK have to wait until January before we see them although sometimes S@H lists them just before Christmas. Just after the last posting date for them to arrive for Christmas, usually :-)

  • Free shipping from Shop At Home in the USA!

    LEGO If you're in the USA you can take advantage of LEGO Shop At Home's free shipping offer until the end of November!

    Simply click the on this image or any of the 'Buy Now' links on this site, make your product selections totalling $99 or more then quote code FSA99 when you checkout!

  • US S@H prices now available!

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Oct 20 2007 6:25PM

    North Americans, your wait is over! I have the US feed and you can now see US prices, direct product links and the 'Buy' page shows what's available from S@H.

    The country detection code should send you off to the right page but in case it doesn't, you can switch to the US page from the UK one and vice-versa. When you have done that once, it will remember your preference.

    I plan to add plenty more features in the coming weeks: Sets available only in the US, only in the UK, new sets at S@H, maybe even a chart showing the sets with the best and worse $/£ ratios (but LEGO might not like that!)

    If you like what I'm doing, encourage me to do more by buying your sets from my links!

    Update: I think the complexity of the queries to support this functionalty is causing some pages to timeout. If you experience such problems, please persevere or try again later. I'll have to work on optimising them in the next few days.

     

  • LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga available for preorder on North American Shop@Home!

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by shima55, Oct 19 2007 2:57PM

    If you live in the U.S. or Canada, and own a Wii, DS, PS3, or XBOX 360, you can now pre-order LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga Video Game directly from the LEGO website! Oddly, the ship date is listed as November 19th, instead of the 6th, as everywhere else has its release listed. The extra wait may be worth it, however, as if you order before November 30th, you get an exclusive content code on the packing slip. As far as I know, the game is still listed to be released on November 9th in the UK.

  • Pictures of 2008 Exo-Force sets from LEGO World

    Gertjan has taken picures of next year's Exo-Force sets at LEGO World and posted them on Brickshelf. I have to say I'm a bit of an Exo-Force fan and like the direction LEGO are taking the theme. It's like Bionicle but with real parts :-)

  • Mr. Magorium’s Big Book Availability.

    If you live in the U.S., do not live near a LEGO Brand store, and do not want to pay shipping and handling for the new Creator Mr. Magorium's Big Book, don't worry! The set is available at Target stores. You have to look for it though. It is located on an endcap with a group of other vintage toys. It's not known if it's exclusive to Target stores or not, and we will report on any other sightings. Sadly, it is still not available to European consumers, but we will keep you posted...

Let's hope this changes soon!

    Brickset is now getting a feed from LEGO with details of all sets available at S@H. This has enabled me to add prices and direct product links to the search results and set information pages. At the moment it's only for the UK, but I hope to add US prices and links in the coming weeks. If you're in the US, you can still use the existing link, it just doesn't go directly to the product.

    I hope you find them useful; be sure to click-through and buy, and thanks to those of you that have already used them.

    LEGOshop.com news Posted by Huw, Sep 26 2007 4:00AM

    The more observant among you will have noticed the colourful S@H adverts on the left-hand-side of this page. Brickset is now a LEGO affiliate which means that, if you access S@H by clicking on the ads to get there, Brickset will get a small commission on every item bought.

    Having two ads for different markets is a bit messy, and what about the rest of the world, I hear you ask? Well, it seems the different regions of LEGO do things separately and at the moment only NA (US and Canada) and UK have affiliate schemes. I'll put some country detection code in place soon to show only the relevant one when I have worked out how.

    I'm hoping to put direct product links on the relevant set pages, if I can get the data in a usable format from them. There are at present 590-odd different sets listed on S@H and I'm certainly not going to add them manually!
