Behind closed invitation-only doors at Toy Fair 2014, LEGO revealed their upcoming construction kits to be released throughout the year, many featuring big name licenses like Disney, Marvel, DC, and Star Wars.
But the biggest attraction of the thousands of LEGO bricks was front-and-center, the public debut of the upcoming Ghostbusters kit, featuring the four main characters - Ray, Egon, Peter, and Winston - along with an ECTO-1 vehicle.

The highly-anticipated building kit was created through LEGO’s Cuusoo program in which fans can submit their own designs to be voted on and ultimately created. LEGO Ghostbusters are due out in June 2014 for $49.99.
LEGO Star Wars had plenty of exciting reveals, including the Cantina, Star Destroyer, and some new characters and ships from Star Wars Rebels.
More Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kits are on the way, both from the Nickelodeon show (seen below) and from the upcoming live action movie, which unfortunately had sets that could not be photographed. They included all four turtles, Splinter, Shredder, a few unnamed characters, a Turtle Van, Turtle Lair, and another play set.
LEGO also debuted the upcoming LEGO Juniors line, using mostly the same pieces as regular kits but simplifying the building process for younger audiences who are too old for Duplo but not old enough for complex builds. Ninja Turtles and DC are included in these releases.
The LEGO Movie continues to be hugely popular, with more kits coming including the newly announced Metal Beard pirate ship.
Mixels are a new character assortment as a partnership between LEGO and Cartoon Network, enabling building of a variety of colorful creatures.
Fans of the new Disney Princess lines can look forward to more to come in the future, though nothing new was announced at the show.
Also on the way are more kits from the rest of “The Hobbit” films.
There are many, many more LEGO products shown off at Toy Fair this year, all viewable in the slideshow below.
