TheOrcKing Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thanks goes to brandon90820 for posting the link to the June 2013 calendar on Toys N Bricks. There is a PDF file in the link that shows the store calendar in its entirety which is too big to load onto this post.Here's the list of promotions.June 1 - Games "Legends of Chima" (50006) available at Shop-at-Home and Lego Stores.June 4 - free Montly Mini Model Build Fisherman at a Lego Store event.June 1-15 - buy any two Legends of Chima Speedorz and get the second one free.June 19 - build a free mini model Superman at a local Lego Store event.June 1-25 - free exclusive "Jor-El" minifigure with any purchase of $75 or more.I guess despite lack of sales for the Games line they are going to continue with the Legends of Chima set. It is Chima afterall so I shouldn't be surprised really.Thanks to tormentalous (The Brick Fan), I was able to add both the front and back image for the store calendar.

Blackjack Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So the Jor-El is real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 So the Jor-El is real? It seems so. Still dissapointing in it being 1/3rd of an exclusive minifigure. All they did was swap the new regular Superman suit with a new head and hair piece. Big whoop. The father of the last son of Krypton deserves so much better!

Sflego86 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Seems like Lego is doing anything they can to push Chima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Those Chima Speedorz things must not be selling well. There are gobs of them in my local Walmarts clearance aisle, and now TLG is doing a buy one get one free. I'm beginning to wonder if Chima might be a bust with the kids.

brandon90820 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I realized how strange it is that they put Jor-EL in superman's suit...just doesn't make any sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggles7 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Chima is a flop, so far. Go to any of the websites that rank their best-selling Lego sets and Chima is lucky to have 1 or 2 entries in the top 50. Last time I looked at target's best-selling Lego sets, there was just one Chima set in their top 60, and it was one of the new wave 2 sets. I think Lego was premature in retiring the Ninjago spinners; a secondary market Lloyd spinner is going for almost $30 now. They could have sold tens of thousands more of those, but instead they replaced them with the lame Speedorz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Seems like Lego is doing anything they can to push Chima. Chima is flat out awful in my opinion. Galaxy Squad is pretty bad too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEZ96 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Chima is flat out awful in my opinion. Galaxy Squad is pretty bad too...... Agreed! They should have just stuck with Ninjago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am really surprised by how bad LOC has done, because it came out of the gate really strong, and was flying off shelves... Let's just hope that TLG can give another decent year of Ninjago, and maybe if Chima is bad enough, they would do a fourth year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to picking up the Superman polybag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been a fan of Ninjago, but compared to Chima, it's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I kind of like some of the Chima sets, and I really like the minifigs. I'm wondering if the toys are performing poorly because there's no consistent show on tv. Cartoon Network has only shown a couple specials, so is there a plan to do a whole series? If so, some of these sets might be worth some dough this christmas if they eol before or right after the regular series begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Lego is doing with Chima is similiar to the same tactic they used for Ninjago. First they showed a 2 episode pilot special, and then the following year an entire TV series featuring a number of episodes that followed. They already have a whole season of Chima completed I'm sure; it takes a while to come up with those episodes between scripts, 3d rendering, voice recording sessions, and what not. Lego is just saving that up for next year to really reel them in. Regardless of EOL, the holiday season seems to usually be the best time for selling these buggers.

TheOrcKing Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Just to remind members, old and new, about this re'pin'ed thread. I will always try to have one of these Shop-at-Home offers stuck at the top of the category on a month by month basis. Also, I attached images for this month's store calender onto the main post.

exciter1 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Some are saying if you order from S@H , they will also throw in the Iron Man polybag for free along with the new Jor-El polybag. Has anyone here ordered today? Do you think it would also qualify at a Lego Store or would it be YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
