Lego's Top 5 Best Sellers List (Monthly)
I am sharing with you my monthly top 5 Lego Best Sellers. I have put together a list of the most wanted and best selling top five Lego Sets.
Andrea works at the City Park Café and loves dishing out tasty treats, when she is not singing into her broom and daydreaming of her big performance. It’s the perfect place in Heartlake City for all of the Lego Friends to meet for milkshakes and burgers or to chill and have fun. You can bake goodies for the girls in the café kitchen, complete with everything you need to serve up café cuisine in style. Then hang in the outdoor dining area and have a milkshake in the sun. Order up a sweet snack, serve the customers and pay with Lego money bricks. Includes 2 mini-doll figures: Andrea and Marie.
This is a very good set and has very many details.I would not expect someone who is not very experienced with lego building to be able to build this by themselves because the stickers/decals can be difficult to put on and the roof can be difficult to snap onto the rest of the structure. Over all this is a nice set and it is nice to see sets that are more appealing to girls and don't worry regurlar minifigures fit fine in the cafe.
3) LEGO Ninjago Ice Dragon Attack 2260
Unleash the power of this ancient creature with LEGO's Ninjago Ice Dragon Attack. On a quest to retrieve the Shurikens of Ice, Zane, the Spinjitzu Master of Ice, must fly through the perilous realm of the Underworld. But Krazi, Skeleton of Lightning, is hot on his heels! Complete with bendable wings and live-action spit fire, this 11-inch-long dragon lets ninjas 7 through 14 create a thrilling sky-borne battle of good versus evil. Will Zane be able to find the fabled weapon, or will he freeze under the power of Krazi and the Skeleton Army?
This is a very nice Lego set. It comes with two minifigures (Zane DX and Krazi) and the Shurikens of Ice. The graphics are printed on, so no stickers. Personally, I prefer not to have stickers as I tend to stick them crookedly. The dragon looks pretty cool and you can make him move/pose and shoot an ice ball. The Chinese Dragon God sign is easily knocked off, though.
4) LEGO Super Heroes Superman Vs Power Armor Lex 6862
Superman's arch enemy Lex Luthor has built a kryptonite-powered robot and has captured Wonder Woman. Can Superman dodge the strength-sapping power of Luthor's kryptonite gun and make light work of his evil nemesis. Includes 3 minifigures: Superman, Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor.
5) LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack 7914
A new force has entered The Clone Wars on the side of the Separatists – the Mandalorians! Build up your Mandalorian army and take the battle to the Clone Army with the Mandalorian speeder, blaster turret and four Mandalorian trooper minifigures, each with a custom gun.
1) LEGO Friends Olivia's Tree House 3065
Take the Lego Friends fun to the tree tops with Olivia’s Tree House. All of the friends love meeting in this treetop retreat to play games and camp out under the stars. Climb the folding ladders to watch the ladybirds, catch butterflies and feed the cat. Watch the ocean waves or wish on stars through the telescope. Stash secret treasures in the hidden compartment and decorate the whole fort with wildflowers. Includes Olivia mini-doll figure.

The tree house set has a lot of nice touches - a little secret hiding spot for treasure, ladders that swing up & down and a very cute bird and cat. Regular mini figures also fit nicely in the set and my 4 year old son also joins in the play with his own mini-figures in this set.

Lego Heroica, What a Great Way to Spend with Your Kids
In this day in age it seems today that many kids toys require batteries and need to be noisy to keep the child's attention. Lego Heroica 
is a board game that requires problem solving and creativity. You can have your child help build the game board and even set up the location of the pieces.
I got my set to play with my 5-year-old son. It is pretty much exactly what it looks like: a cool little Lego dungeon-crawler. Each Heroica set comes with a certain number of 'rooms' and 'hallways' that can be combined in almost endless ways. Then you populate the dungeon with monsters and treasure and have at it.
Most set come with 3 books in the box, the standard instruction book, a rule book, and an "adventure" book with a mini-comic and three suggested dungeon layouts. The dungeon layouts are not presented in any particular order, but if you look at the bits that are supposed to be included in each one, you can assemble them into a mini-campaign that ends with a confrontation in the throne room with the goblin king.
Is this worth it? Depends on your child's age and interests. For kids 6-10 I think it's a gold mine. It encourages tactical thinking, memory, and some very basic math. There is also lots of scope for creativity and spatial thinking, since the tiles and bridges can be laid out in so many different ways. The bits are cool and even played cooperatively it is a fun way to pass the time. There's nothing scary or occult in the game; it is all pretty innocuous.
So the bottom line is that I would recommend this game to a close friend. I would buy this game again if I had to.
P.S. This game can be expanded buy purchasing other set and even growing the adventure. I hope that you get to enjoy this game as much as we do.
