We don’t talk about new LEGO sets much at BrickNerd—there are lots of other great sites that do that. However to help us keep the quality up and ads down, we need your help. If you are going to purchase any new LEGO sets and want to help out BrickNerd at the same time, we ask that you use our affiliate link for LEGO.com.

It is a great way to support community-focused journalism without costing you more than you already spend on LEGO. You can support BrickNerd at the same time you get your new gigantic black tower, new cute animals like a red panda and gorilla, a REALLY cheap Captain Rex, a cool black dragon, or even a few buildable cats! Even if you just get a keychain using our link, we appreciate the help.

See all the new sets at LEGO using the following links: US | CAN | UK | AU. (For all other countries, you can use the US link and then change your region on LEGO.com.) There are a few gifts with purchase, including the Lord of the Rings Fell Beast and a water playground.

One thing should be noted that is particularly frustrating in the US—the rest of the world gets earlier access to summer waves. In the past, LEGO has said this release strategy is to better fit local needs, though as a fan, it tends to just be frustrating as you see friends in Europe build things that you cannot for two months. So enjoy what you can and the rest will be arriving later.

Thank you in advance, and now back to more awesome LEGO nerdiness!
