Castle and Other Summer Themes Available at TRU

Toys R Us now has several of the Summer Castle sets for sale. Along with Legends of Chima, Hero Factory, City, Galaxy Squad, and more.
Selections vary from store to store, so I can't promise you'll find any of these sets at a TRU near you. But it's worth a try.

2013 Sets Spotted at TRU

It's that time of year again. The time when all the 2013 sets start appearing on different websites and in different toys stores. Don't you just love when TRU has all the new sets and the only ones you can buy are the ones that cost less than $20? Me neither.
Toys R Us now has the 2013 Star Wars, Super Heroes, Ninjago, and other sets available at certain stores. I've yet to be at a TRU this month, the prices scare me away from the door. And I can always go across the street to Target and save $30 on a Battle of Helm's Deep.
If you want to get your Christmas shopping done before the rush, get to a TRU now!

Thanks to FBTB for posting the news first.

The Hobbit Gandalf Ploybag

Another The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey polybag has been sighted on Ebay. No word on when it'll be available. We'll most likely see it at TRU in the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: This polybag is now available at ToysRUs.

30212 Mirkwood Elf Polybag at TRU

The first of hopefully many Hobbit polybags has appeared over at Toysrus. The set contains a brand new Mirkwood Elf minifig. And I think the first ever dark green hood.
For a probable $3.99 price point, it's not bad. Definitely gonna want a couple of these for your elf army.

Shirtless Darth Maul Polybag at Toysrus

Remember that so-called exclusive Shirtless Darth Maul from SDCC? Well he's not exclusive anymore.
He's up on the TRU website as a promotion: Free with purchase of $25 or more. The promotion is only for online orders, but you can save yourself $20 buy going to a TRU store and paying $5 for one by itself.

Winter 2013 Star Wars Set Rumors

The newest set rumors in the ongoing Star Wars theme are now out. Every year around this time, some website from who-knows-where puts up a list of the winter 2013 sets. Shortly after they put up the list, EVERY LEGO website is reposting it. So, to join the hundreds (not really) websites putting these rumors up, I am writing this post to let you know the newest internet sensation (also not really).
Joking aside, this list is most likely legit. Have fun reading the list and imagining the possibilities.

We'll be receiving a third wave of the Planet Series sets. This time, the planets will be:
 • Kamino with Astromech Droid and Jedi Starfighter
 • Coruscant with Clone Pilot and Republic Assault Striker
 • Asteroid with Tie Bomber and Tie Pilot

The regular sets for this wave are as follows:
 • The Old Republic Battle Pack 
 • Clone Trooper vs Droideka Battle Pack (Two Clone Troopers and Two Droidekas)
 • A-Wing Starfighter (Admiral Ackbar, Han Solo, and an A-Wing Pilot)
 • AT-RT (Yoda, Clone Trooper and Assasin Droid)
 • Z-95 Headhunter (General Krell, Clone Pilot, and Clone Trooper)
 • Rancor Pit (Luke Skywalker, Rancor Trainer, Gamorrean Guard, Rancor)

That's all we know for now. Of course there'll probably be two more Limited Edition sets exclusively available from Target or Toys R Us.
Thanks to Brickset for the info!

LEGO The Hobbit Board Game

We never even got any early rumors about this. But who cares! We have a professional image now! Toys R Us has this item up for pre-order. Release is in late September. You can still take advantage of the 20% off everything, so hurry up and place your order as the sale takes over $10 off TRU price!

LEGO Monster Fighters Now Available From S@H

After TRU got the new Monster Fighters sets we knew it was only a matter of time before LEGO released them. "The time has come!" The walrus said... Never mind.

But yes, they are available on Shop@Home. Go there by clicking here. It's a perfect time to get them as the free Hulk minifigure deal is still on.

Go buy yourself some ABS plastic if you dare!

Toys R Us Gets Summer Sets

Yes! It has finally happened! As of now Toys R Us stores have the summer 2012 wave of LEGO. This includes The Lord Of The Rings, Monster Fighters, City, Ninjago and more! One problem though: as always, Star Wars will not be for sale until later in the year.
If it weren't for the ridiculous (And I mean RIDICULOUS) price raises, I would go out and pick up some LOTR. But as it is, Gandalf Arrives is $17 itself.
Also, as pictured above, there is a LEGO LOTR Project Case that was unheard of until now.
