Brick Friday is officially on! The long wait seems to be forever but thankfully, shop.LEGO.com has finally revealed its sets that are now currently on sale with awesome discounts. Though there have been previous reports of certain sets that will be listed in today’s Brick Friday sales until Cyber Monday, it was only moments ago that LEGO’s online store has now listed these and made it official.

On top of this, LEGO sweetens the deal with exclusive freebies such as the seasonal Snowglobe (40223) for qualifying LEGO purchases of $99, a limited edition 2017 LEGO Coloring Calendar, and literally free shipping for all online orders. Check out these bricktastic deals that will run only today until Cyber Monday or while supplies last. Same as before, we are offering you the option of checking other Black Friday retailer deals such as those from Amazon and Toys R Us in case you want to take a look. Prices and item availability are valid at the time of this writing and while supplies last. Generally speaking, Amazon seems to offer the best deals while TRU also offers free shipping for qualified purchases. However, if you’re eyeing on the exclusive collectibles that were mentioned above, then the LEGO Store is the only place to be.

Unless you’re living like a hermit deep inside a cave or something, then it’s hard not to notice all the scurrying going on brought about by Black Friday. Though it may not have officially kicked in, some online retailers – such as Amazon – have already begun their deals as early as the start of this week. A few days back, we have posted information on a few LEGO sets that are rumored to be on LEGO’s Brick Friday list. Though we understand that LEGO doesn’t usually post this info earlier ahead of Brick Friday (LEGO wishes to somehow level the playing field), it is fun and perhaps helpful to speculate what sets will make it to the list. Last year, we saw a total of 45 sets offered for as much as 40% discount, with most of them offered at 30% off on the average. Similar to 2015’s LEGO promotional of the Gingerbread House (40139), fans can expect another seasonal set for this year as a free give-away for every single receipt purchase of $99 and above. The Snowglobe (40223) may be availed only from November 25 to 28 or until supplies last so expect some stiff competition to get this one.

While waiting for this year’s insiders’ list to appear again, we took the liberty of selecting the best LEGO deals that we found over at Amazon. Though this may seem to be unnecessary given the prominence and obvious advantages of most Black Friday deals, it should be noted however, that Amazon usually gives pieces of clues on what these items are. Like cookie crumbs scattered on a pathway, Amazon somehow ‘teases’ about these ahead of Brick Friday’s holiday shopping spree. If our theory is somehow correct, then these LEGO sets that we extracted from Amazon may likewise be included on LEGO’s Brick Friday list. This is just speculation though, but given that most customers have patiently waited for these promos, and that Amazon have already lowered the prices of certain LEGO sets – as much as 30% and more to be exact – then we are pretty sure that it is not far-fetched to consider that the online retail giant will either retain their prices or lower it further.

So with that of the way, here are some LEGO sets that you may find appealing, especially that they are listed for as much 30% off. Just click on the links below to bring you over at the Amazon page of that particular set or you may also check with shop.LEGO.com and compare their prizes.

To sweeten the deal, LEGO is giving away the exclusive, limited-edition Snowglobe (40223) for every qualifying purchase of $99 and more both in-store and online.  We’ll be happy to receive your feedback just in case you have any Brick Friday info to share.

Just a few moments ago, London’s first, and Europe’s largest LEGO brand store has finally opened its doors to the LEGO faithful. Though this piece of news is thousands of miles away from where we are, the excitement of the occasion is pretty contagious. For those of us who can’t make it physically at the LEGO London Store, we are thankful that groups such as the LEGO Collectors Club (LCC), The Brothers Brick (TBB) and Promo Bricks  are there to witness firsthand the events as they happen, giving us an inside look at what the largest LEGO store in this side of the world has to offer. In case you missed it, LEGO also had a live broadcast of the events both inside and outside of the store via their Facebook live feed.

Visitors were also glad to know that one of the latest LEGO Architecture Skylines sets slated for 2017 has been released in the LEGO London store ahead of January next year. Well, I guess it’s kind of obvious what set this is.

Other than the exclusive launch of the LEGO Architecture London 21034 at the LEGO London Store, the much talked about Lester minifigure has also been given away in a form of a raffle. Though not without complaints and issues with regards to the way it is made available (through a mystery scratch card that buyers will receive upon reaching a certain amount of purchase), there’s only a total of 275 minifigures of Lester that were officially given away so expect that this highly valued collectible minifig will be a prized possession for any LEGO fan.

Here’s LEGO’s official press release of the store’s opening together with some images courtesy of Sophie from LCC, The Brothers Brick, and Brick. Thank you for sharing these images for all LEGO fans to enjoy.

 

LEGO® London Flagship Store Opens Offering Unique Experiences for Fans of All Ages

The world’s largest LEGO Store opens with a focus on inspiring creativity through new experiences and fun, interactive workshops.

17 November 2016: Today The LEGO Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of play materials, has officially opened its new UK flagship store in central London’s popular tourist hot-spot, Leicester Square.

The Leicester Square store is the 131st LEGO store globally and is pushing the boundaries with many unique LEGO® firsts. The largest LEGO store in the world boasts exciting new experiences, such as a ‘Mosaic Maker’ which offers LEGO fans of all ages the opportunity to purchase their very own, one of a kind, personalised LEGO mosaic portrait. The machine captures your image and in under ten minutes printed instructions and the bricks required to complete the LEGO portrait are supplied to the customer. The London store is the first in the world to make this unique experience available.

John Goodwin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the LEGO Group said: “We are excited to have finally opened the doors to the world’s largest LEGO store here in London. We want to inspire and develop children through creative play experiences – and this store is all about that. Here, parents and children can explore the many different LEGO products while at the same time getting a truly immersive experience of the LEGO brand.”

Inspiring creativity and developing the builders of tomorrow is a central theme for the store and this is encouraged with unique hands-on interactive brick experiences. These include ‘Master Builder Playtables’, where children will be free to build whatever they can imagine – inspired by iconic London landmarks and a range of exciting LEGO themes. There will also be a timetable when Certified LEGO Master Builders will visit the store sharing tips and tricks to help visitors build LEGO models and help inspire children to think outside the box when building their creations.

Through a partnership with Transport for London LEGO has created a life-sized London Underground tube carriage. The tube is the largest LEGO build in the store, is made up of 637,903 bricks and took 3,399 hours to build. The carriage offers fun photo opportunities and will be a must see for all the family.

Other highlights within the new London LEGO Store include:

• Build a Minifigure Tower with Talking LEGO Minifigures – includes four different talking LEGO Minifigures including Lester, Royal Guard, Bobby the Policeman and Sherlock Holmes.
• LEGO Minifigure Scanner – an interactive experience available from outside the store where people can find out which LEGO Minifigure they are.
• Digital window display – state of the art screens that will show LEGO movies and clips.
• Lester’s room housing a model of store mascot Lester for photo opportunities both inside and outside the store.
• Brickadilly corner – an interactive information centre informing shoppers including in-store event schedules and highlighting retail experiences within the store.
• Digital endless isle – a digital experience allowing shoppers to browse a digital catalogue of all LEGO sets available in store. It also calls for assistance by sending a message to the smart watches of store staff (photos courtesy of LCC).

“Our LEGO® Brand Retail stores are a lighthouse for the LEGO brand and an inspirational shopping channel for LEGO products. We offer a unique brand experience and supplement the combined offer for consumers alongside our trusted retail partners and online retailers. The new Leicester Square store is the 14th LEGO Store in the UK,” says Glenn Abell, Vice President and General Manager, Direct-to-Consumer EMEA.

November 25 to 28 marks another LEGO store sale where fans can get as much as 20% off on a variety of selected LEGO sets. Dubbed as Brick Friday and Cyber Monday, this sales event is a great way to own that LEGO set that you’ve been eyeing on for quite some time at discounted prices. For this year, LEGO has teased about this event via its European shop.LEGO.com site though it does not say much about the sets that will be offered.

However, we may have some clues on what sets will be included in the list of the online offers courtesy of Hoth Bricks. According to what they picked up, these are the sets that are confirmed to be included in the list. Take note that it’s possible that the entire list will not be revealed until the 25^th of November. For those who are yet to cross out the LEGO Nexo Knights Jestro’s Volcano Lair (70323) or the LEGO Creator Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220) from their wishlist, then this is the best time to do so.

 

LEGO DUPLO  Around the World (10805) – € 99.99 € 79.99 (roughly $79.99)

 

LEGO Creator Expert Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220) – € 99.99 € 79.99 (roughly $79.99)

 

LEGO Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster (41130) – € 99.99 € 79.99 (roughly $79.99)

 

 

LEGO Knights Jestro’s Volcano Lair (70323) – € 129.99 € 103.99 (roughly $103.99)

 

On top of this, it is great to know that November 25 also marks the start of another LEGO exclusive that entitles buyers to a FREE, limited edition, LEGO Snowglobe (40223). The free exclusive will be given away for a minimum purchase of $99 and above of any LEGO products via in-stores or online. The price point may be somehow higher than the usual, but since it is part of the Brick Friday/Cyber Monday deals, then it is definitely worth it.

Be sure to stay tuned here in the Brick Show for the most recent updates on this upcoming store event, and for the complete list of all LEGO sets that will be on sale during this period.
