Yoda Chronicles Build At TRU May 4th
I was at Toys r US today, They had a poster for a Yoda Chronicles build on Saturday May the fourth from noon till 2. It’s a black mini star fighter. See if your store has a sign in the LEGO aisle. Not sure of the qualifications to get it. I’m guessing the regular TRU rules apply.

Hobbit Mini-fig included with Target Hobbit dvd/Bluray
Groove Bricks reports that Target will have a Hobbit DVD/blu-ray pack with an exclusive Bilbo Baggins mini-fig. So I know where I’ll buy my Hobbit Blu-Ray set. Now do I wait and buy in store or preorder? The release date is March 19. A week later the Empire Strike Out Dvd will be released with an exclusive Darth Vader mini-fig.
Groove Bricks post.
Also this week Target has a few LEGO sets on sale. The Spider-Man’s Spider-Cycle set, Superman vs. Power Armor Lex Luthor set, Batman Arctic freeze set, and Star Wars AT-RT set are $18.00 each. These sets are usually 19.99. It’s only 10% off but since I was already there so I picked up a set rather than use my LEGO VIP card. There maybe other sets on sale. When I checked the weekly ad online they didn’t show up. But they showed up on a Google shopping search.
I checked Target’s Easter section. Their seasonal polybag is the same as they had for valentine’s day. It is Winzar’ pack patrol from Legends of Chima.
The mini-fig was posted here, Winzar’s Pack Patrol
Updates: The Droid Escape set also shows up as a temporary price cut.
I just got back from Target the temporary price cut sign on the sets said 3/3-3/16 so there’s a little time to grab some of these sets. Now I just need to sell a bunch of prints so I can get these sets and DVDs.

Brick pedia entry for #9509 2013 star Wars advent calendar
(TPM) the Phantom Menace
(ATC) Attack of the Clones
(ROS) Return of the Sith
(ANH) Star Wars:A New Hope
(ESB) The Empire Strikes back
(RTJ) Return of the Jedi
My favorites were the AT-AT, Rebel Trooper(ANH), R2D2 and Santa Darth Maul. Least favorite was the MTT. The weapons should have been packed with the figures. A couple of ships were had to id. Plus too much Phantom Menace builds for me. But overall another fun advent calendar.
I hope LEGO makes another one next year. What Christmas theme minifig would you like to see in 2013? I like to see Queen Amidala from set #9499 Gungan Sub as a Christmas tree. Next year Hasbro packing features Yoda. Will the calendar be focused on Return of the Jedi for the 30th anniversary? or on one of the prequels that will be out in 3D next fall?
What was your favorite? What was you least favorite?
Star Wars LEGO Advent Calendar 2012 * Dec 5
This year, like last year, LEGO has released a Star Wars Christmas Advent calendar. Today’s gift is also from The Phantom Menace, a mini model of a Trade Federation MTT (The Multi-Troop Transport). Super tiny vehicle.
There’s online content as well this year. With each door there is a code enter it on LEGO’s SW calendar page and there’s a small animation of the model. It’s like the item building scenes from the LEGO Star Wars Games.

Today’s code is 9515. There’s interaction with a previous build today. In the animation one model attacks the other.

I’ll begin blogging this later today. I’ll also collect and post links from other blogging the calendar this year. I have a few blog links from last year’s calendar and hope to find more this year.

Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention with Bricks & Heroes.
It’s been over a week since the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention. I finally have time to blog on the con. This was the third year of the con but the first time they had a track dedicated to LEGO. This was also the first LEGO event I’ve attended.
We went to sell my toy photography prints. Once we were set up I got to walk around a bit. The first purchase I made was from the Citizen Brick booth. I knew they mini-fig babies so I had to get one to commemorate my son’s birth. I also picked up a zombie heady and a victim torso.

As previously posted in Zombie Invasion and Magneto’s first job, I got a few custom pieces from EclipseGRAFX. The Zombie fighter is one of the coolest things at the show.
EclipseGRAFX mini-figs
I bought a few Mini-figs from Milton Train Works. I got a series 2 life guard, series 8 Santa and another figure from a set that I don’t own. It’ll appear in a future post. With the purchase of the life guard I now have at least one mini-fig from every series but #1
one of milton train works displays.
Brickmania toys had some great looking kits. and a Bikini Bottom MOC. The LEGO group was there but as display only they didn’t have products for sale. But they did have a LEGO Batman comic book. It was game trailer in a printed form. 
There were also vendors selling various LEGO sets and mini-figures. Since it was part of a comic convention, there were several places selling comic books, toys, t-shirts and geek stuff. There were also some panels, concerts, and short films.
We had a lot of fun and hope to make it back. More pictures on my site, RenaissanceFairePictorial.com
Coolest costume at the convention.
Busniess Cards and LEGO card holder.
Last week my mailbox was full. I received my LEGO business card holder and my Moo Cards. I first saw the card holder at Model Building Secrets. It took a while to finally show up in the LEGOShop It is set 850425. With the set you can build a card holder, a plate to put your name, and two mini figs.
My Moo cards also arrived. These card are really sharp. They are colorful and are made of heavy card stock. You can get multiple images in an order. I’ll be handing these out at fairs and conventions. Like the cards, order some with your images via this link, Moo Cards and save 10%. Plus I’ll earn some credit on future orders.
It’s Bricktober at Toys R Us
This week if you spend $60 or more on LEGO sets or board games you get a free mini-fig 5-pack. There will be a different mini-fig pack each week during Bricktober.
Toys R US says they’ll have LEGO deals all month-long. This week deal is Buy one LEGO set get another for 40% off. But sale excludes Ninjago, Friends and Technic.
I don’t know if you can buy the figures separate. TRU lists them as a $24.99 value so that would be the price. There’s a new set of figs each week, I’d like to get one or two of the sets I’ll have to see what the special is the week the set I want is offered.
