Free stuff on Force Friday

This week is "Force Friday." This is a big unveiling of lots of new Star Wars toys products.  Over at Bricks and Bloks, Kurt has the run down of the lego sets you'll see.  Toys R Us has an unidentified Star Wars Poster starting at midnight. (This is a good sign that it has something to do with the new movie.) There is no word on any qualifying purchases that you make, but it seems like a door prize if you care to shop at Midnight on Friday.  

The Lego Store is having their own deal. They are offering a free C 3PO polybag. This is a special Episode VII version where he has a red arm. (I'll assume the movie will explain that.)  There is no word on the qualifying purchase, but I imagine it will be for spending 50 or 75 dollars. That sounds like a big amount, but there are lots good sets coming out, and the cheapest so far is 30 dollars.  So if you were planning on getting some new Star Wars Legos, you will likely hit that number pretty quickly, and this is a good chance to get an extra Lego or poster as well!!  Good luck ninjas, and as always, like me on facebook for more updates!

20% Off Exo Suit!

Greetings ninjas! I've had my eye on a cool set for a long time, and now its 20% off!!!  The Lego Exo suit is from the ideas line.  These are ideas developed and supported by Lego fans, some of which are then officially made my Lego. For example, they also have Walle, Ghostbusters, and Bing Bang Theory Legos.

They all look really good, but being designed for adults, and having to deal with license issues, most of them are more expensive than normal Legos. But at 20% off the set has far better value. It has been very popular and recently discontinued, so the stock will quickly disappear. Its the only set to offer green space figures, who recall the classic space line. The minifigures are also modeled after the two creators of the idea, and one of them is a women! (I'm always trying to get more female figures for my daughter that aren't princesses.)

It has a cool main figure (though its somewhat fragile and more for display than playing.) It looks a little bit like the cool suit that Ripley wore fighting the Queen in Aliens. There are several cool accessories like a neat little turtle and several barrels. The set also comes with very detailed instructions that include a history of its design and some scenarios for playing.

Demand  has been very high for this set, so I'm surprised its still in stock and even more surprised its on sale. I've also heard it will likely increase in value a great deal once the existing stock is depleted. While the market is being flooded with below cost items right now, it will increase in value and might make a decent investment Lego you can sell in the future.  Good luck ninjas!
