The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023)

Folks on the other side of the world have started to receive their 2019 January-May LEGO catalog along with the LEGO Life magazine and we now have a first look at the upcoming The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023). We’ve already seen a few of them during my review of The Awesomest, Most Amazing, Most Epic Movie Guide in the Universe but now we get to see the rest of the lineup. The most surprising minifigures include the ones from The Wizard of Oz which consists of Dorothy with Toto, Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow. We’ll know the names of all The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures when LEGO decides to officially announce them which should be really soon since they will be available starting in February.

LEGO Jan 2019 GWP

The January 2019 LEGO Store Caledar doesn’t show any notable promotions for the month because LEGO doens’t announce them anymore on the calendars but instead will be sending them to your emails or use flyers in the mail. Thanks to one of our readers, Ryan, we have an image of one of the upcoming LEGO promotions for the beginning of the month.

From January 1-13, you will be able to choose your promo item with purchases of $25 or more at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home. While supplies last, you will be able to get the LEGO City Fire ATV (30361) or the LEGO Friends Clubhouse Pod (5005236). I’m not sure if LEGO will be doing this “Choose Your Gift” promotion in the future but it’ll be cool if they do.

The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841) Available on Amazon

December 30, 2018 / / 0 Comments

For those who are looking for The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841), it is now available on Amazon at retail price. The only downside is that it won’t be in stock until January 9 but at least you are able to order it and get it sooner than you would on Shop@Home. Again, this small set is very highly sought after and will probably be like that for a while just because of the four different spaceman minifigures.

If you prefer shopping at Target because of the REDcard discount, they also have it available online as well.

There is a new The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part polybag that has showed up on LEGO’s servers called Rex’s Plantimal Ambush (30640). It has 32 pieces and it features Chris Pratt’s Rex Dangervest along with plant-like creatures from The Jungle Planet.

The LEGO Movie 2 Rex's Plantimal Ambush (30640)

I’m not sure of the availability of the polybag at this time. Since it is on LEGO’s servers, it could be a future gift-with-purchase promotional item however it has also showed up in Walmart’s system through Brickseek as well. This might mean that Walmart may get it later on in the year, similar to some other promo items in the past.

This brings the number of known polybags for TLM2 to six so far and their availability are as below:

Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) – Target

LEGO Overwatch Bastion (75974)

Way back in October, I reviewed the Blizzard exclusive LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987). That one was only a miniature version of the unit but the new 75974 version is a large scale model that provides a lot more detail.

The LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad (70841) Availability

December 27, 2018 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Movie 2 sets have been available for a few days now and arguably the most popular set in this wave is Benny’s Space Squad (70841). At only $9.99, it has four different colored space minifigures which is something that fans highly desire. Currently, it is on backorder on LEGO Shop@Home and will ship in 30 days but if you can’t wait, some other retails have already started carrying the set as well.

Target online is also out of stock at this time but various locations may have them in store. Check out Brickseek to see which stores have them on the shelves or in the warehouse.

In addition, Barnes & Noble has it available online as well as in stores. You can check the availability of the set by entering your zip code to find stores closest to you. You can purchase online and pick it up locally.

Benny’s Space Squad will be more widely available at the beginning of the year so don’t worry if you can’t find it now. Don’t go paying flipper prices for it unless you really want it for some reason. I’ve already seen people selling and buying it for over $20. Keep in mind that it also may be a little difficult to find when the movie comes out in February because of the hype surrounding the movie. For what you get at that price point, I can see that it’ll be popular for a long time.

The LEGO Movie 2 Aquaman

Warner Bros. has released a first look at the Aquaman minifigure that will be appearing in The LEGO Movie 2. If you remember from San Diego Comic Con, it was announced that Aquaman will be voiced by Jason Momoa. If you look closely at the clip below, you can see Momoa’s Aquaman using the original Aquaman as a surfboard. This could possibly mean that there are two version of the character that could be appearing in the movie. The LEGO Movie 2 sets are available starting today on LEGO Shop@Home but we don’t see any Aquaman minifigures so this reveal may suggest that they could appear in a second wave of sets next summer.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

Recently, LEGO has quietly released some accessory packs called LEGO xtra and at the beginning of 2019, they will be releasing another polybag Sea Accessories (40341). Priced at $3.99 each, the polybag has 24 pieces and it features items that you are able to find or use in a water environment. Some of these items include a lime green surfboard with matching flippers, a treasure chest with a printed 2×2 map, binoculars, a barrel, an oar, a couple of harpoons, a buoy, a couple of gems, and a shell with a star pearl. There’s also some animals such as a shark, a multi-colored parrot, and a fish.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

If you’ve been wanting to find a cheap way to add some animals to your layout, this Sea Accessories polybag could be the way to go. The shark has been appearing in more and more sets but the parrot is still a pretty rare animal and will only be in the larger modular buildings such as the Assembly Square (10255) and Corner Garage (10264) so this polybag is the cheapest way to get it.

LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341)

The LEGO xtra Sea Accessories (40341) is a a decent parts pack that gives a variety of water-related items. Again, it will be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home starting on January 1.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

The build is basically a smaller version of MetalBeard’s crab mech which the normal version is in the Battle-Ready Batman and MetalBeard (70836) set. In the middle of the mech is MetalBeard’s head with his and, of course, his metal beard piece right below. The back has a crow’s nest that is attached on a ball joint. Unlike the regular set, this one doesn’t have a treasure chest with his internal organs. Although he has some claws for legs, there’s also a single wheel at the bottom to help him move.

The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528)

This polybag is a 3-in-1 set so it is able to change into a three-wheel vehicle as well as a ship but the instructions for those builds are not available at this time but I’ll do a follow-up when they are. Again, The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) can be found at Walmart and if you need help to see if your store potentally has the polybags, head over to Brickseek and enter your zip code to check the inventory near you.

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Piece Offering (30340) Polybag Found at Target

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet's Piece Offering (30340)

So far, I’ve already on two The LEGO Movie 2 polybags with the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) and Star-Stuck Emmet (30620) but it looks like there’s another one to look out far. One of our readers on our Facebook Page, Cory, has found Emmet’s Piece Offering (30640) at their local Target store. The polybag consists of 44 pieces and I assume it retails for $3.99 like all other polybags there. It looks to be found near the LEGO section as seen from the background of the image but they could also be put out on the endcaps or at the checkout lanes. Unfortunately, I do not have the DPCI to do a store search but I’ll get you that info when I have it. I’ll head out to my stores tomorrow to see if I can find any of them for a quick review.

One of the more popular events that is held during the spring time at LEGOLAND California and around the world is LEGO Star Wars Days. Fans from all over come to see some new cool LEGO Star Wars builds including some from local LUGs.

Rebelscum has gotten in touch with with Lucasfilm and they have said that this past year would be the last to do the event. Also someone at Disney stated,

The motivation was to refocus expenditure and limit Star Wars exposure to reset the franchise and allow fans to heal.

I’ve also heard another reason for Star Wars Days being cancelled is to shift focus to The LEGO Movie 2. There’s still a chance that LEGO Star Wars Days could return down the line but in the future, it’s done for.

There was no actual reveal of the sets by LEGO themselves as we found them using some tricky methods. The LEGO Overwatch sets will be coming out in a few weeks and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the sets ahead of time thanks to LEGO. The first set I’ll be taking a look at is Tracer vs. Widowmaker (75970). It has 129 pieces and retails for $14.99 which is a little high but let’s check it out and see if it is worth the price.

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will have a new promotional item with the LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253). You can get it with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last. After taking a year off, LEGO introduces the 28 piece Reindeer Head which joins the 2014 Christmas Train (5002813), 2015 Christmas Train (5003083), and the 2016 Toy Soldier (5004420).

Like with the previous ornaments, the parts are inside a little green pouch along with the instructions and the string.

LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253)

The build is very straight-forward and the finished result looks a lot like a reindeer head mount which is kind of morbid. I do recommend changing the black 1×1 round plate for the nose to a red one to represent Rudolph as it makes the build a bit more festive.

Top 10 LEGO 2018 Sets

December 9, 2018 / / 0 Comments

2018 came and went pretty quickly and it’s that time where I list my top 10 LEGO sets of the year. According to Brickset, there were 784 products that were released this year and only ten of them will be the chosen few to be on this list using various criteria such as price, importance, nostalgia. Again, this is my personal list and will differ from everyone else’s.

10. 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290)

Earlier this year, LEGO celebrated the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and to commemorate the event, they released a promotional set which features four micro versions of classic LEGO sets including the Town Airport Shuttle, Yellow Castle, Pirates Black Seas Barracuda, and the Space Galaxy Explorer.

Did LEGO Tease Another McLaren Set?

LEGO Speed Champions McLaren

A few days ago, LEGO teased an image of the upcoming 2019 LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Senna but camouflaged. They could either be teasing that particular set or could there be more to this image?

As we know by know, LEGO has partnered up with various car manufacturers to produce sets for the Speed Champions as well as Technic. This includes the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) from 2016 and the Bugatti Chiron (42083) from earlier this year but what will the 2019 supercar be?

I’ve heard an unsubstantiated rumor that next year’s LEGO Technic supercar could be a McLaren but at this point, that’s all that is right now. If you remember back in January, LEGO revealed that the Bugatti Chiron would be released later in the year and will LEGO do the same thing next month? All keep in mind that the Nuremberg Toy Fair will be held at the end of January as well and that’s where we got the first information about the Bugatti. Stay tuned for more details as they happen.

In the past few years, LEGO has been releasing some small sets to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year with the zodiac animal sets and the 2019 Year of the Pig (40186) has been revealed.

Blizzard Open to Discussing LEGO World of Warcraft Sets

December 7, 2018 / / 0 Comments

It was a huge surprise back in May when Activision Blizzard announced they were partnering up with LEGO to produce LEGO Overwatch which will be coming out in January. Since then, fans have been wondering if LEGO will be doing other IPs in Blizzard’s portfolio. Recently, Forbes has done an interview with both Blizzard Vice President of Consumer Products Matt Beecher and LEGO Designer Woon Tze Chee about some of the Overwatch sets. The interview basically talked about the sets and how they came to be and transitioned to if LEGO will be doing other products with other IPs. While LEGO declined to say on the possibility of LEGO World of Warcraft sets, Beecher went on to say:

It needs to be the right time and place for both parties. I mean, we would definitely be interested in discussing that. With World of Warcraft, there’s a hundred million-plus people that have touched that experience at some point in their life, so there’s a very broad and diverse audience around the world that supports World Of Warcraft. But it obviously would be a mutual decision. We need make sure there’s enough indicators pointing to that it would be a great idea.

As a Warcraft fan, I wouldn’t mind seeing LEGO Warcraft sets. It is a fantasy/castle theme that fans would enjoy with almost unlimited playability because the lore is so expansive. Since LEGO Nexo Knights has retired, there’s a hole in the castle theme and Warcraft could supplement the years where we don’t have castle-type sets. That … Continue

The LEGO Batman Movie

It’s been almost two years since The LEGO Batman Movie was in theaters and fans have been wondering if there will be a sequel for it. The director for the first movie, Chris McKay, has assured us that a second movie is currently being worked on. This doesn’t mean that that The LEGO Batman Movie 2 has been officially announced but at least we know Warner Bros. is looking into it another movie for Batman. In the meantime, we still have the Caped Crusader in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part which hits theaters in February.

LEGO BrickHeadz Dragon Dance Guy (40354)

As of this writing, there are eight sets that we can expect with three of them being available at the beginning of the year. There are high quality images of three of the sets and the rest are shown on the back of one of them.

LEGO Creator Detective’s Office and Brick Bank Officially Retired

December 3, 2018 / / 0 Comments

I have just been told from my source that the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) and the Brick Bank (10251) have officially been retired. That means there are no more sets being produced and whatever sets you find on store shelves are the last remaining sets you’ll be able to find at retail price. I’ve been telling you guys about it for a while now and it looks like this is the end of the road for these two sets. As of this writing, LEGO Shop@Home still has them in stock and Amazon still has five sets available at retail price, however, the Brick Bank is out of stock everywhere.

LEGO Marvel Bricktober 2018 (5005256) Set May Not Be Available in US

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2018 (5005256)

A lot of you may have been waiting to get your hands on the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2019 (5005256) set but I have some news about it that you may not like. I’ve been told by a source that it was only available in North America at Toys R Us Canada and we might not even see it being available at LEGO Brand Stores/Shop@Home. It also seems unlikely that we’ll also be seeing the Harry Potter (5005254) set at LBR and S@H but fortunately, Barnes & Noble still has their promo going for it until December 26.

Going back to the Marvel minifigure set, it’s a bummer that we won’t see it at LEGO Stores but there’s still a very slim chance that it could go to another retailer early next year however I won’t hold my breath. Currently the only way to get it is on the secondary market or if you have connections to someone in Canada or overseas.

LEGO Black VIP Card 2018 Gift Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card (5005747)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Black VIP Card holders will be getting a special gift this month and the set has been revealed today on LEGO’s servers. I’ve been told that card holders will be getting a special code in their email soon to redeem the gift which is a brick-built card holder along with a black minifigure with a Millennium Falcon printing on the torso. Alas, there’s no way to get this gift, minus the secondary market, because you had to have purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) last year on Shop@Home during a certain period of time. Hey, it’s better than getting double points on select sets.

A few days ago, we saw the official images of the Asia exclusive LEGO Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner (80101) and we also got a glimpse at the Dragon Dance (80102). There are now more images of the Dragon Dance and the back of the box does confirm that it does contain a kinetic play feature. On the left side of the box, you are able to turn the dial and it will move various sections of the dragon up and down. Also note that this set will also include a teal brick separator, a first of its kind.

From what I’ve been hearing, these sets will only be available to the Asian markets so it’ll be pretty difficult to obtain if you’re outside those countries. I feel they will sell well worldwide but in the meantime, LEGO will only be focusing the sets in that particular region.

LEGO Jurassic World Bricktober 2018 (5005255)

The December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar has been released for a while now and the promotions have been somewhat limited but I’ve gotten news on some unannounced promotions for the month. According to my source, there will be three gift-with-purchase promos which include:

December 1-23: – Free Parrot Mailer with purchases of $10 or more, in-store only.
December 1-31: – Free LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) with purchase of Darth Vader’s Castle (75251).
December 14-16: Free LEGO Jurasic World Bricktober (5005255) set with purchases of $99 or more.

LEGO may decide to send out an email blast or post on social media about these promos as we get closer to December but keep an eye out on Shop@Home if you’re looking to get some of them. No word on whether they will be both in-store and online at this time but I assume they will be.

Update: The Parrot Mailer will be in-store only.
Update 2: LEGO Brand Stores will have limited quantities of the Jurassic World Bricktober set. The email blast for the promotions is scheduled to go out on December 1.

LEGO Creator Detective’s Office Held for Black Friday Sale

November 21, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Creator Detective's Office

If you’ve elected to receive physical mail from LEGO, you may already seen the details of the upcoming Black Friday 2018 promotions. One of these deals include a sale of 20% off the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246). If you check on Shop@Home, the set is temporarily out of stock. I’ve been told that LEGO is holding the inventory, both in store and online, until Black Friday actually starts.

I don’t think LEGO has done anything like this in recent years so I think they believe it will sell out during the three-day event. With the sale, the Detective’s Office will only be $127.99 which is an amazingly good deal for what you get. If you don’t think you will have time to pick it up this weekend, Amazon currently has plenty of it in stock with Prime shipping.

If you saw my post from the other day, this set is one of the over 200 sets that will be retiring soon so that means that production on the set has probably ended and whatever stock they have left will be it. For those who have been wanting to get it, I suggest doing it this weekend as it may be the last time you’ll be able to get it, especially on sale.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Rex Dangervest

A few weeks ago, we got our first look at Chris Pratt’s other character in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part named Rex Dangervest and today we have a better look at the character. Chris Pratt also shows off the official minifigure for Rex Dangervest which is a cleaner, dark blue version of Emmet’s uniform. The legs also has some kneepad printing as well as boot printing as well. Rex Dangervest is described to be a space traveling archeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer and we’ll most likely see this character in the new trailer tomorrow.

More Than 200 LEGO Sets Retiring Soon

November 18, 2018 / / 0 Comments

The European LEGO Shop@Home sites have listed over 200 LEGO sets that are set to be retired soon. I’ve listed some of these sets a few days ago but there are a ton more sets that we’ve just found out about including the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310), LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144), and the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827). You can check out the sets that are on the chopping block in the link above and this is a last reminder of the early Black Friday promotions which will end in a few hours.

A majority of the sets that are retiring soon can also be found on Amazon at an even better price than with double points so you’ll have to check out where the better deal is for you. LEGO doesn’t give an exact date on when the sets are retiring but we can assume that they have already stopped production on them.

LEGO DUPLO My First Minnie Build (10897) Revealed

LEGO DUPLO My First Minnie Build (10897)

As 2018 is coming to a close, various retailers have started to upload images to their respective servers for the 2019 LEGO sets that are set to be released in January. We’ve already seen the Spider-Man and Overwatch ones but this next one is something that we didn’t expect but it is a LEGO DUPLO set. It is called My First Minnie Build (10897) and it’s basically a DUPLO build of Minnie Mouse. From looking at the back of the box, it also has a couple of parts to change out Minnie’s outfit from pink to red. It’s a cute little set that gives the younger audience an introduction to both LEGO and Disney.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part comes to theaters in a just a short few months and everyone is excited to see what kind of sets will be released for it. We haven’t gotten any details of the sets that will be part of the movie except for the three that were revealed for SDCC until now. A Polish price comparison site has listed the set names for The LEGO Movie 2 in Polish but if we translate it we get the list below.

Planet DUPLO Guests and Emmet (10895)
Emmet and Benny’s Workshop (70821)
Unikitty’s Best Friends (70822)
Emmet’s Tricycle (70823)
Rex Roadster (70826)
Ultrakatty & Warrior Lucy! (70827)
Emmet and Lucy’s Escape Buggy (70829)
Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship! (70830)
Emmet’s Builder Box! (70832)
Lucy’s Builder Box! (70833)
Benny’s Space Team (70841)

What’s interesting about the set list is that there will indeed be a LEGO DUPLO set for the movie and it appears that it will be combining both DUPLO bricks with regular minifigures. Also the Benny’s Space Team set sounds like it could be sort of a Battle Pack. Could it be a set full of spaceman minifigures?

LEGO Black Friday 2018 Confirmed Promotion Details

November 10, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Black Friday 2018

A few days, I reported on some rumored Black Friday 2018 promotions at LEGO and there is now confirmation of these promotions. First, there is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) with purchases of $99 or more. This promo will run in store and online from November 23-26. Next is the LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257) with purchases of $50 or more. This promotion is only available in stores on November 23. I’m sure this will draw some ire from Ninjago fans who don’t have a LEGO Store near them.

Some other Black Friday LEGO promotions include select sale items at LEGO Stores on November 23. In addition, there’s also items that are 30% off at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from November 23-26. Cyber Monday sales on November 26 will have items 20% off. Lastly, if your store still has the LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) still in stock, you can get it for 20% off from November 23-26.

It all started back in 2008 as LEGO CUUSOO during the beta phase and it eventually changed to LEGO Ideas which we now have today. The first set made for CUUSOO was the Shinkai 6500 Submarine (21100) and the first one under the LEGO Ideas name was the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). There now has been 23 sets that have been officially released so far and it doesn’t look like it will be stopping any time soon. Which LEGO Ideas set is your favorite?

The Indiegogo campaign for LEGO FORMA has officially ended as all of the perks that were offered have been claimed with a few hours left over. The campaign was 1,334% above the 500 perk goal as there were 6,673 perks claimed. I’m not sure how that number came to be as the total number of perks that were available were 6,505. We now have to wait a few months for the delivery of the sets which is estimated to be sometime in January 2019.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Silent Mary (71042) Amazon Sale

November 4, 2018 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Silent Mary (71042) is currently on sale over on Amazon for $149.99 which is 25% off the regular price of $199.99. This is probably the last time that you’ll see this set at this low of a price because from what I’m hearing, it’ll be retiring soon. This is also the last time that you’ll find a Johnny Depp Jack Sparrow minifigure for a set that is still available at retail because there are reports that Disney might be rebooting the franchise without Depp at the helm. Even if that report isn’t true, it sounds like he is done with the character.

Note that this set is sold by Amazon and not a third-party seller. Shipping is stated that will be within 1-3 months but they’ll usually ship it before then.

As we’re getting closer to Christmas, the LEGO Star Wars 2018 Advent Calendar (75213) is finally on sale at some retailers. The new Target ad shows it is 10% off and is priced at $35.99.

Five Days Left on LEGO FORMA Indiegogo Campaign

November 3, 2018 / / 0 Comments

We are down to the last five days for the LEGO FORMA Indiegogo campaign and there is only a small amount left available for each perk option. The best deal is the LEGO FORMA Super Box and as of this writing, there’s only 160 left for the US and 45 for the UK. As for the individual models, there’s only a handful left for each of those and they’ll surely go out of stock before the campaign is over. I’ll do another reminder on the last day as there will certainly be a rush of supporters as it usually is with crowdfunding campaigns.

LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257)

Last month, I reported that the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets would be coming in November through December but there was no details about it. Today I’ve received some new information from a trusted source for the upcoming Black Friday promotions. I’ve been told that the LEGO Ninjago Bricktober 2018 (5005257) will be available during that time with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last. The other Black Friday promotion is the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) with purchases of $99 or more. Of course, this information is still considered a rumor until LEGO confirms it in the next few weeks. I trust the information that I have but we’ll see if they are true soon.

November 2, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Last month, it was revealed that Toys R Us was rebranded as Geoffrey’s Toy Box. It is basically a store-in-a-store concept and the first stores will be in a large Midwest retailer. My original guess was Meijer but it was announced that Kroger will be store that will have the first Geoffrey’s Toy Box. Starting this month, Kroger supermarkets will start to get displays with the Geoffrey branding and with it are a small selection of toys. There are currently no big brands on the portfolio including LEGO but we’ll see if this concept will eventually bring the bigger brands to the stores.

The LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book (21315) is now available and if you’ve followed the project on Ideas, you’ll notice that LEGO made some minor changes to it. Jason Allemann has uploaded a new video showing some modifications he has made to the official set to his liking.

One of the big changes was that LEGO omitted the clasp on the set which I mentioned in my review. In the video, he has shown us know how to make a small change to the set to add the clasp. What’s cool is that you don’t even need your own parts to make because it uses existing parts from the set itself. Jason also shows us how to make a clip clasp but that will require some extra parts.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) Amazon Lightning Deal

October 31, 2018 / / 0 Comments

This is my final Amazon deal for today and I’ve saved the best for last for the next hour. They currently has a lightning deal for the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) on sale for $169.97 which is 37% off or $100.02 off the normal price of $269.99. This is definitely worth picking up because of the minifigures as well as some of the builds. There is a percentage claim on this set so hurry if you have been wanting one or want to expand on an existing Batcave.

Update: The lightning deal is over but there’s currently a smaller sale on it for $240.99.

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) Amazon Sale

October 31, 2018 / / 0 Comments

There’s a decent sale going at Amazon for the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) that is 11% off the retail price. It is currently at $309.99 which saves you $40 on it. Outside of using VIP points, this is the lowest the set has been at. I’ve heard some rumors that the Ghostbusters Firehouse could be retiring soon but I can’t confirm the validity of it. Considering that the set was released back in January 2016 and direct-to-consumer sets have roughly a two year shelf life, it wouldn’t be out of the possibility that it might be gone after this year.

If you want to earn VIP points on this set, today is the last day of Double Points on Shop@Home and you’ll be able to earn 699 points from it. That means you’ll be getting back $35 from points but that’s still less than the Amazon sale so you’ll have to decide which way to go.

Today is the last day to make your purchases on LEGO Shop@Home for Double VIP Points for October. This was a surprise promotion that wasn’t listed on the October store calendar so it’s worth making your purchases now. It’s unsure if there are any more general double points promotions for the last two months of the year but it seems likely that Black Friday weekend might have one since they’ve done it in the past.

LEGO Inside Tour 2019 Registration Opens Tonight

LEGO Inside Tour

Registration for the LEGO Inside Tour will be opening starting tonight and will run for a few days. Starting at 10am CET/2am PST/5am EST, you can sign up through the registration page on the link above and it will be up until November 2 at the same time. It looks like LEGO has done away with the first-come, first-served system and will move to a lottery system which good and bad depending on how you look at it but it seems to be the most fair choice so everyone at least has a chance at it.

There are four tours for 2019 and they are as follows:

May 8-10
June 12-14
September 11-13
September 18-20

The tour isn’t cheap as tickets cost 14,500 DKK/~$2200 USD and the price includes 2 overnight stays with breakfast, catering, and entry ticket to LEGOLAND Billund. Travel costs and additional stays are not included so you’ll have to figure that price in the total as well. The price may seem quite high but everyone I’ve talked to who has attended in the past says it’s worth it. Upon leaving the LEGO Inside Tour, attendees also get a swag bag which includes the extremely limited exclusive Inside Tour set.

New LEGO Brand Store Grand Opening Exclusive Minifigures

October 28, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Store New Orleans

There were two brand new LEGO Stores that opened this weekend here in the US with one in New Orleans at the Lakeside Shopping Center and one in Pittsburgh at the Ross Park Mall. As usual, there were exclusive minifigures given away for the first 500 customers. Unlike previous openings where LEGO gave away a three-pack of minifigures, they are now giving away a singular minifigure but each one has a special meaning to the store. I’m not sure if LEGO has given away single minifigures before this but this is the first time I’ve seen it.

For the New Orleans store, there is a Mardi Gras themed one with the minifigure having a purple and green outfit. These colors are synonymous with Mardi Gras which is a celebration period before Lent. The minifigure also has a saxophone as an accessory, which again, has a big part in the history of the city.

For Pittsburgh, fans get a generic hockey player and the sport is very popular there. Although it doesn’t say, the minifigure does have the colors of the Pittsburgh Penguins so that’s pretty cool too.

If you know there’s a LEGO Store coming to your city, check out the LEGO Events Page to get a sneak preview of them every month.

It consists of 500 pieces and retails for $39.99. The set looks similar to its previous iterations but this one takes elements from the other ones and combine them into one larger set. I believe this set is based on both the Sorcerer’s Stone and Prisoner of Azkaban and you’ll see why throughout the review.

LEGO Seasonal 2018 Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253)

Here’s a nice surprise that has recently showed up on LEGO’s servers. The new 2018 LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) has been uploaded to the servers and that means more than likely the exclusive ornament will be a gift-with-purchase set this holiday season.

There are no details on the availability at this time it’s nice to see it return after taking a year off last year. We’ll most likely see how to get it when the December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few week. Below are my reviews of the LEGO Christmas ornaments from the previous years.

LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987)

A short while ago, Blizzard revealed the first official LEGO Overwatch set with the Omnic Bastion (75987). It is a Blizzard exclusive that will also be available at Blizzcon 2018 next month but you can now purchase it online at the Blizzard Gear Store. The set has 182 pieces and retails for $25 because it is exclusive to their store and probably won’t be available along with the upcoming full LEGO Overwatch launch.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be in theaters in a few short weeks and recently LEGO has released a few sets based on the first two Fantastic Beasts movies. Amazon currently has those two sets on sale at which are the lowest they’ve been on the site. Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) is 20% off and is holding at $40 which is $10 off the regular price. This is a really fun build and I do recommend it based on my review.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) Revealed

October 18, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292)

The November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar talked about some of the upcoming Black Friday promotions which includes doorbuster deals and exclusive offers but it didn’t mention or show anything for the promotion. It looks like we may have found out what one of the offers could be via the Chinese LEGO Store flyer. At the bottom of the flyer, it shows a limited edition Christmas Gift Box (40292) gift-with-purchase set from November 22-30. Here in the States, our promotions start on November 23 so it’s possible that we could also get this promotion set as well.

If you look closely at the set, you can see that it is able to open up to show a scene inside showing off what appears to be a living room on Christmas day complete with a Christmas tree and toys. It is worth mentioning that the footnote shows that the set is limited to 4,500 copies. I’m not sure if that amount is in that particular region or worldwide.

This set is not the only Christmas set this year has it has already been revealed there is also the Christmas Carousel (40293) as well. There’s no word at this time when that particular promotion will begin. As always, I’ll report any new information that comes out for these two sets.

The LEGO Movie 2 Rex Dangervest First Look

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Rex Dangervest

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part comes out in a few short months and little details of the movie have been slowly releasing. Back in San Diego Comic Con, the Warner Bros. panel talked about a new character for the movie named Rex Dangervest who is also voiced by Chris Pratt. We now have a look at the character which comes from an upcoming book for the movie on Amazon UK.

As you can see from the image above, Rex wears a blue outfit and he has a disheveled look. As stated from the SDCC panel, Rex is a space traveling archeologist, cowboy, and raptor trainer. This is a play on some of the characters that Chris Pratt has played in other movies including Guardians of the Galaxy, The Magnificent Seven, and Jurassic World.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) Barnes & Noble Update #2

October 17, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

It’s been really quiet here in terms of LEGO news simply because there’s nothing to report on but that’ll change soon. In the meantime, there’s another update on the ongoing saga which is for the LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254) set. A few days ago, I reported that people have either been finding then in stores or was able to order them in store. Since that time, they are not allowing any orders to be placed on it in stores and any sets they have on hand will not be sold as there is now a strict no-sale policy on it until the end of November. From what I’ve been told on the previous post, they won’t be released until November 17.

If this wasn’t frustrating enough, another person from a different store mentioned that all four Bricktober 2018 sets will be at Barnes & Noble. I can’t vouch for that but I wouldn’t be surprised as this is the first time that we’ve heard that all four sets would be at B&N.

As I mentioned on Twitter, I don’t know what is going on with the Bricktober sets. So far, it’s been short of a disaster as everyone involved has still not said anything helpful so we’re still at the wait and see stage.

If you haven’t picked up last year’s LEGO Creator Winter Village Station (10259), Amazon has it on sale for a whopping 31% off the regular price. This now makes it $54.99 instead of $79.99 which makes it a great buy considering that it has 902 pieces. This set is an add-on to the Winter Holiday Train (10254) but it’s a fine set even by itself.

That means for every $100 you spend, you can get back $10 worth of LEGO VIP Points to use on future purchases.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

LEGO and Barnes & Noble have been pretty quiet about the upcoming Bricktober 2018 promotion for the Harry Potter (5005254) set but I have managed to get bits of details about how to get it. Some people have already managed to find them in stores and purchase them by themselves. They were found at or around the small LEGO section. There’s supposedly a promotion that is attached to it but there are no details for that.

I also heard that you could also ask an employee to see if you can put in a order them. The UPC is 673419294300 and it’ll only work if the warehouse for your store already has them allocated. I could not order it yet but I was told to check back regularly. The price on it was $7.99 each.

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) Amazon Sale

Another day, another deal that has popped up on Amazon. They currently have the LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) on sale for $55.99 which is 20% off the regular price of $69.99. This is obviously a better deal considering that it has 284 trans-blue 1×1 round plates which bumps up the parts count. If you factor that in, you only get 678 pieces and the regular price would be at $0.10/piece but with the sale it drops it down to $0.08/piece. I’ve already done an in-depth review of the set if you want to check it out.

The LEGO Movie 2 Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

October 11, 2018 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Movie 2 Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet

Amazon has updated their listing of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet which includes an exclusive Emmet minifigure with the book. The minifigure is hard to see but it looks like the one on the cover of the book which shows Emmet’s outfit all tattered. Since it’s hard to see the minifigure through the clamshell glare, it’s hard to see if it is the same one as the ones shown in a few of the sets that were revealed for SDCC.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet will be released on January 3 and it retails for $11.33. You can pre-order it now and you’ll get the lowest price if it drops between now and then.

LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214) Sale at Walmart

The LEGO Creator Tower Bridge (10214) is one of the oldest sets that is still currently available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home but there is a sale going on at Walmart that is probably the better deals that I’ve seen for it. The set is selling for $194.99 which is about 18% off the normal price of $239.99. Considering that it has 4,287 pieces, I would say that the sale makes it a great price with the $0.04/piece ratio.

Continuing with some of the fall sales on LEGO sets, Walmart has discounted the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144). It is now at $169.99 which is 15% off the regular price and we usually don’t see prices like these unless you use VIP points on it.

Amazon is also price-matching Walmart on the price but on the Frustration-Free Packaging. This means that Amazon could just slap the shipping label on the box itself and ship that way or it ships without the LEGO box itself and you just get the contents in a box. It’s risky but sometimes it works out fine.

Toys R Us Rebranded as Geoffrey’s Toy Box

October 9, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Just a few months after Toys R Us declared bankruptcy and closed all of their stores here in the US, it looks like they have planned a comeback as soon as next month. Now going under the name of Geoffrey’s Toy Box, they are planning to open store-in-a-store shops and the first ones will reportedly be in a large Midwest retailer. My guess is that it could be in some Meijer stores since they are pretty popular in that part of the country.

This news may sound great as we do need a dedicated toy store but it also doesn’t sit well with some, mainly former employees. As one of those employees, I along with about 33,000 others lost our jobs with no severance pay while the the executives got paid bonuses. I honestly don’t care much about it anymore because I had something lined up before I left but it did leave a bitter taste in my mouth with how everything went down. From what I read, they are trying to rehire some of the former employees in the new stores so that’s good news I suppose. If I was somehow invited back, I most likely won’t be going back because it won’t be the same as before.

It’s still hard to say what Geoffrey’s Toy Box could be at this time. Most likely there will probably be some LEGO sold there but not to the extent of what TRU used to have. We’ll have to see if this new venture pans out or not … Continue

There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.

My source has told me that it will be available starting on November 9 with purchases of $99 or more. It’s interesting that the promotion is not listed on the November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. There’s no mention on when the promotion will end but I assume it’ll be before the Black Friday promotions start unless LEGO is being generous and lets it run until the end of the month.

As for the set itself, it consists of mini buildings of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.

LEGO BrickHeadz Theme Rumored to be Ending

LEGO BrickHeadz

The last thing that we’ve heard about the LEGO BrickHeadz was that there will be a Simpsons two-pack featuring Homer and Krusty the Clown (41632). There are some rumblings that the LEGO BrickHeadz theme will be ending at the end of 2018. This was also corroborated with long-time reader Purple Dave who stated in another post which says a LEGOLAND Discovery Center cashier said the line will be ending. They also stated that the LEGOLAND vendor booth at Brickworld Michigan had all of the LEGO BrickHeadz sets on clearance including some of the ones that were just released a few days ago. All those signs point to the LEGO BrickHeadz theme could actually be ending but until we hear something official, we’ll just consider it as a rumor.

Universal has announced their plans for Jurassic World for 2019 and it has been revealed that there will be more LEGO Jurassic World sets as well as an animated show coming soon. I’m curious to see what other sets could be produced for Jurassic World as the Fallen Kingdom sets have covered almost everything from the second film.

The animated LEGO Jurassic World short will probably air on Cartoon Network or LEGO could release it on home media which potentially could have an exclusive minifigure but I won’t hold my breath on that. The short will be airing by the end of the year.

Two Projects Pass LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review Stage

October 4, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Ideas Flintstones

The results of the LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review are in and LEGO has announced that, not one, but two projects will become official sets next year. The first set is the Treehouse by Kevin Feeser which looks great in its own right. I’m curious to see how big it’ll actually be considering the project had 2,643 pieces.

LEGO Ideas Treehouse

The other project that passed is actually a surprise and it is The Flintstones by Andrew Clark. I’ve seen the project in person when I was at Philly Brick Fest and I will say that it looks great in person. I’m sure that LEGO will modify it just a little bit to make it work for them as the parts count including minifigures is 770 pieces. It’s interesting to see The Flintstones as a license because there were hints that LEGO may have already had the stage was in LEGO Dimensions a few years ago.

LEGO Bricktober 2018 Sets Rumored for November Release

October 3, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Bricktober 2018 (5005256)

LEGO has been pretty quiet about the Bricktober 2018 sets but according to an image that’s been floating around on social media, it appears the promotion will be starting next month. An email from LEGO Customer Service says the following:

I’m not sure if this email is legit or not because there is a misspelling on the word “available” in the image so don’t get your hopes up just yet. They state that the promotions start in November but the store calendar does not list anything about it unless it is one of the exclusive offers during Black Friday that starts on November 23. The only confirmed thing we know about Bricktober 2018 here in the US is that Barnes & Noble will be carrying the Harry Potter (5005254) set but there are no details on when that is. Toys R Us Canada’s promotions start later this week.

LEGO Overwatch Tracer Minifigure Revealed

October 2, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Overwatch Tracer

Today must be a LEGO Overwatch kind of day because a short while after I reported on the Winston teaser, the Overwatch social media channels revealed a physical item from the upcoming sets. In the video, Papa Jeff Kaplan is shown building the Tracer minifigure which then comes alive as a stop-motion with Tracer’s voiceover. This is the first time we’ve seen an actual item from the set and Tracer joins a number of characters that are already confirmed to be in the sets including Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, McCree, and Winston. There are reports that there are at least six set (75970-75975) that are coming early next year.

As I mentioned before, we probably won’t be seeing anything coming out of New York Comic Con this week but we’ll most likely see more at Blizzcon in November. Which other characters do you want to see that haven’t been announced yet?

LEGO Overwatch Winston Teaser

October 2, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Overwatch Winston

It’s been a while since we talked about LEGO Overwatch but the minisite has been recently updated with a new splash image. This time it shows some bananas and peanut butter with the phrase “Imagination is the essence of discovery” and this means that our beloved Winston will be joining the LEGO Overwatch lineup. This is now the seventh confirmed character for the theme as he joins Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, and McCree who were teased last month at Gamescom 2018. For his figure, I’m guessing LEGO will be using the same gorilla mold that they’ve been using the past few years but I’m interested to see how they will attach his jump pack.

New York Comic Con is this week however LEGO themselves won’t be attending as they’re not listed as one of the exhibitors at the event so we probably won’t see anything coming out of there. The best bet will be at Blizzcon 2018 in November.

The Brick Fan T-Shirt Now Available on Teespring

The Brick Fan T-Shirt

Quite a few of you readers have asked for this and if you follow my Twitter or Instagram, you may have seen a teaser for this a few days ago. After six years of running the site, I have officially launched my first piece of merchandise for The Brick Fan with a t-shirt over on Teespring. I’ve always felt reluctant to selling stuff for my site but I felt this was a good time as any to sell a t-shirt. I’ve priced it at $14.99 for the US and £12.99 for the EU and there are a number of different colors you are able to choose from. I’ve already ordered three shirts for myself before I launched this campaign to test out the shirts and they actually feel pretty good.

I’ve added a new “Merchandise” tab on the top of the menu to access the Teespring storefront so you can go there any time if you want to get a shirt or you can go there directly with this link. For now, I just have the shirt available but if you want any additional items, leave it in the comments below and I may decide to add them later on in the future.

As always, I do appreciate everyone who reads this site and I’ve had a great time putting out posts for you on a daily basis (most of the time). You do not have to purchase a shirt if you don’t want to but any purchases go back towards the site … Continue

LEGO Brand Store (40305)

Way back in May, we got our first look at the new 2018 LEGO Brand Store (40305) and we’ve been wondering when it will be available here in the United States. I’ve gotten word that the set will be a regular set and it was sold as early as this week at a LEGO Brand Store in the US. I can assure you that this is true as it comes from one of my good sources.

The images have been up on LEGO’s servers so it will be available on Shop@Home pretty soon. The set has already been available for a few months in Germany and France. Let us know in the comments if you’ve seen this set at your local LEGO Brand Store.

Update: I forgot to mention that it has been found only at flagship LEGO Brand Stores in the US but it will move to regular Brand Stores as well.

LEGO FORMA – Quick Look a Day Later

September 28, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO FORMA Koi (81000)

It has been just over a day since LEGO announced their new adult-centered theme, LEGO FORMA, and it looks like there’s quite a bit of interest for it. Their initial perk goal of 500 has been surpassed five times over and as of this writing, it sits at 2,590 perks claimed in total. The US Super Box option has already had one-third of the inventory claimed out of the 3,000 available. The UK Super Box option is already 40% claimed out of the 1,000 available in that region with still about a month left in the crowdfunding project. The Super Box options save you a little bit money compared to just buying the base Koi set and the additional skins separately but there’s still quite a bit of inventory for those options.

I’ve pre-order the LEGO FORMA Super Box so I’m quite excited to see how it looks and feels in person when it released in January. Note that this short-run LEGO FORMA batch will only be available on Indiegogo and won’t be available for purchase on Shop@Home or LEGO Brand Stores so if you’re interested in it, I wouldn’t wait to throw in your support, especially for the Super Box options because those will go out of stock first. Did any of you give it a go for this new theme?

If you’re looking for a storage solution for your LEGO elements, Amazon currently has a sale on the Stack-On DS-60 which is the 60 drawer storage cabinet.

LEGO Opening Pop-Up LEGO Brand Stores

September 21, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Pop-Up LEGO Brand Store

LEGO has announced on the LEGO Ambassador Network blog that the company will be testing some new pop-up LEGO Brand Stores in select locations. The first one has opened up at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester, Connecticut.

The pop-up LEGO Stores will be somewhat similar to a standard LEGO Brand Store but the main difference is the layout. Some of them will have products sorted by age and the rest will be sorted by price. There are also some other differences which I have listed below from the press release post.

Pop-Up LEGO Brand Store

A reason for LEGO opening up pop-up shops is that it gives kids and adults a chance to enjoy some of the fun experiences that they would’ve gotten from other stores like Toys R Us. Obviously, we don’t have TRU stores here in the US anymore so reaching out to that market is a great opportunity for LEGO and consumers to interact with each other.

Pop-Up LEGO Brand Store

LEGO is currently testing out the pop-up store experience and if this plan is successful, the LEGO Retail team will have opportunies to open more up in cities that don’t have a LEGO Brand Store near them. Other locations for the LEGO pop-up stores are listed below. LEGO will be asking for feedback so please let them know how you feel about them.

It’s another day and another deal to tell you guys about. The LEGO Ideas Old Fishing House (21310) is currently on sale for $129.99 which is 13% off the retail price of $149.99. The set was released a year ago and as more LEGO Ideas sets are released, the older sets get retired to make more room for the newer ones. As I stated in my review, it is one of the most realistic sets that LEGO has released.

If you’re still looking for good LEGO deals, the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251) is still on sale as of this writing. Now is a great time to pick these sets up as we get closer to the holiday season and retailers start to clear out their inventory.

We normally don’t get discounts on these type of direct-to-consumer sets, except for using VIP points, so getting anything off is a good deal for us. Since this is an older set, it might be getting to the point where it may be retiring soon so now is the perfect time to pull the trigger on it if you’ve been holding off.

Captain Marvel Official Trailer Released

September 18, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Captain Marvel

The new Captain Marvel trailer dropped this morning and the internet went into a frenzy of what was shown. Set in the mid 1990s, the story follows Carol Danvers who becomes Captain Marvel after joining a Kree military team called Starforce. She finds her way back home as a shapeshifting species called Skrulls start to invade Earth.

As for any LEGO Captain Marvel sets that could be coming, I have a guess that we may get one or two sets based on the movie similar to what LEGO did with Black Panther and Ant-Man. As for what I want to see in a set, of course, I want an updated Captain Marvel minifigure, perhaps in her Starforce outfit with the mask and mohawk. Also a couple of Skrull minifigures would be nice as we don’t have official ones of them yet.

Are you guys excited for Captain Marvel and what she would be bringing to the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War? Captain Marvel will be in theaters March 8, 2019.

A few days ago, I reported on the new Disguise LEGO costumes for adults which include various colored 2×4 bricks as well as other characters that were available from Target.

There’s a third-party store called BuyCostumes that is selling the same costumes at a cheaper price than on Target and also includes free Prime shipping. The prices are as of this writing and note there are only certain sizes available.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Wasteland Batman Closer Look

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Batman

Today is Batman Day and to celebrate, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part social media networks have released a new image of Wasteland Batman. We saw glimpses of him in the trailer but this closer look of Batman shows him with an upgraded armor. All of the characters looks in the movie, except for Emmet, have changed to a Mad Max style look due to the aftermath of Taco Tuesday. This new look for Batman shows him with some tire shoulder pads and a torn cape. The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part releases in theaters on February 8, 2019.

New LEGO Tencent Video Game Launching September 19

September 14, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Tencent Video Game

Here’s something very interesting that has surfaced recently regarding LEGO video games. If you remember from a few days ago, I reported that there’s a rumor of a LEGO The Legend of Zelda video game that was supposedly planned for a Nintendo Direct announcement. People have been saying that it could be a fake rumor and I’ll leave it at that. However yesterday, Yicai Global tweeted out some cryptic images of a brick-built yellow brick, a brick-built sword, and a knight minifigure and the tweet says Tencent and LEGO are teaming up to launch a game on September 19.

With the help of my mom, the translations for the images are as follows. The yellow brick one says something to “You’ve gone through many maps. You haven’t went into this gaming world.” The image with the sword says, “You’ve had a lot of equipment. You have never used this LEGO one. Each piece is individually crafted.” Finally, the knight minifigure images says, “You’ve fought a lot of enemies but not this one.”

It’s very curious to what this new LEGO Tencent video game will be but I’m assuming it will be a role-playing game (RPG) where you can level up your character and use different weapons fighting enemies and bosses in a large world. One thing to note is that the sword shown does not look like the Master Sword that Link uses in The Legend of Zelda series so that kind of debunks that this is a Legend of Zelda game.

LEGO Red Brick Halloween Costume

Last night, I reported on some new Disguise LEGO costumes for adults which are now available at Target. These new costumes include the blue and yellow 2×4 brick ones but some where wondering where the red one was as it was missing from the site. For now, it looks like we can find it available over on Amazon. It is around the same price as Target but you’ll have to pay for shipping as it is from a third-party seller. Considering the red brick costume was only available for kids on Target, this is the best alternative if you want it. Thanks to BigB for the heads up.

BrickLink AFOL Designer Program

About a week ago, I reported that LEGO and BrickLink are teaming up to release something called the AFOL Designer Program and today we now have the details of what this program entails. It appears to be a crowdfunded program and the ones that are successful will become a limited edition 60 Years Anniversary set that is exclusive to BrickLink.

Starting next week on September 18, BrickLink will be accepting entries until November 18 and 20 finalists will be selected. Using the BrickLink Studio 2.0 program, design an original idea and the LEGO design team will review it to see if it is up to their standards. During the crowdfunding stage in February 2019, select designs will be announced and then fans can pre-order the designs at this time. When April 2019 rolls around, the successfully crowdfunded designs will become a limited edition set and orders will be shipping then.

In addition to your designing becoming a set, BrickLink will also pay 10% of the total sales revenue to designers for all successfully crowdfunded designs including pre-orders.

LEGO Releases Statement on Influx of Fake LEGO Shop Websites

September 11, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Fake LEGO Website

In recent weeks, there has been a ton of fake LEGO sites that have been popping up on social media and many of you have emailed in asking if they were legitimate seeing that they have a similar design as LEGO Shop@Home. This is especially confusing considering that they have just expanded Shop@Home to five new countries. Some of these fake sites have prices that look extremely tempting to the untrained eye and a majority of these “companies” will try to steal your credit card information during checkout or may even send you bootlet sets.

LEGO has released an official statement with the numerous reports of these fake LEGO websites emerging from the woodwork.

A general thing to keep in mind is that LEGO only has one site to sell their products and that is on www.shop.LEGO.com. Some of these sites will have the word “LEGO” in the domain name to try and fool unsuspecting customers. Just be aware and and always check the URL of the site that you’re on. Also if the prices seem too good to be true compared to the ones found on Shop@Home, they probably are.

The Brick Fan Latest Updates

September 10, 2018 / / 0 Comments

The Brick Fan Update

If you’ve been on the site recently, you may have noticed some slight but needed changes to the website. First of all, I’ve applied a new theme to the very outdated one I’ve been using since the site first started back in 2012. As a result, the website loads much more faster on the desktop but you still get a similar layout that I’ve had before. Also it is also updated for mobile users as it is also a responsive theme so now you can easily read it without having to zoom in on the articles.

Another change that I’ve made is the social media buttons which are now on on the top right hand corner. I’ve also added our subreddit on the list so you can join that and start some discussions if you like.

I’ve been wanting to make these changes for a while now but I haven’t had much time to do it plus I really don’t like changes but hopefully it’ll give a better user experience for the readers. If there are any bugs you encounter, let us know in the comments below. I’ll be keeping a watch on the site to see if I can find any issues but it should be fine for the most part.

LEGO The Legend of Zelda Planned for Nintendo Direct?

September 9, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Okay this is a rumor post that I did not expect to see but it’s circling around the social medias so I might as well put it out there. The planned Nintendo Direct was supposed to happen a few days ago but it has been indefinitely delayed due to the earthquake in Hokkaido, Japan. Currently floating around the interwebs is a list of some of the planned announcements for the event which includes LEGO The Legend of Zelda. This is the first time I’ve heard this and the list didn’t specify if it is a new video game or LEGO sets based on the popular franchise.

If this rumor is true, it mark another video game that will be a LEGO-related theme, joining LEGO Overwatch and Minecraft, just to name a few. If you’re new to the LEGO scene, the Legend of Zelda franchise has been a popular on especially when it involves LEGO. You can see from all the fan MOCs as well as the four projects that have been proposed on LEGO CUUSOO and LEGO Ideas.

Again this LEGO The Legends of Zelda thing is still purely speculation at this moment. Until LEGO or Nintendo actually announces something, I would take it with a grain of salt. Try not to get your hopes up too much at this point in time.

As we take a deeper look into some of the promotions from the October 2018 LEGO Store Calendar, the polybag will be available from October 1-14 with LEGO Star Wars purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last.

The reason for its unusually late release is that the polybag was believed to be a Toy R Us exclusive but as we all know by now, TRU has been closed for a few months and LEGO had to find a way to distribue the polybag. It has also been available at LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers for a few months now.

LEGO Minifigure Molds

For the past few days, I’ve been covering the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure and I’ve already talked about the patents and the designer sketches. Now that there’s an idea of what kind of minifigure LEGO has greenlighted, we turn our attention to the molds that are used to create the minifigures. LEGO has sent over some images of the different molds that are used to create the various pieces that go into a minifigure such as the head, torso, arms, hands, hips, and legs.

Stay tuned as we have a few more posts to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure.

LEGO Star Wars Master Builder Series Official Statement

August 30, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222)

Last week, LEGO officially announced the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) and if you looked closely at the press release, you would have seen that the set is part of the LEGO Star Wars Master Builder Series and not the Ultimate Collectors Series. Fans have been wondering what the Master Builder Series is and will it be replacing the UCS theme and we’ve finally got an official statement from the LEGO Star Wars team which you can read below.

The Master Builder Series models are large playsets and beside being complex builds they are characterized by having many play features and functions, interior details as well as a range of minifigures. Ultimate Collectors series will remain highly detailed display models providing complex builds with a focus on authenticity and both Ultimate Collectors Series and Master Builder Series will continue as a way to highlight the unique characteristic of each style of model.

After reading the statement, are you relieved that playsets are no longer classified as UCS but will be part of the Master Builder Series? Sound off in the comments below.

LEGO Reveals Full-Sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron

August 30, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Full Size Bugatti Chiron

Today LEGO has revealed a full-sized Bugatti Chiron that is made entirely out of LEGO Technic elements and is capable of driving. The Chiron is made from over 1 million LEGO Technic parts and is powered using LEGO Power Functions motors and can reach a top speed of 20mph. Also packed into the car are 2,304 motors along with 4,032 Technic gear wheels. What’s even more impressive is that there was no glue to hold everything together.

Thank you to Connie over at Mischief for sending over the press release and images of the life-sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron.

LEGO Full Size Bugatti Chiron

First Ever Life-Size and Drivable LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron Is a Pioneering Piece of Engineering and Design

Testament that with LEGO Technic you can build for real, this
non-glued, fully-functional and self-propelled LEGO Technic model can fit two passengers inside and accelerate to over 20km/h

Perfectly recreating the organic design lines of the world’s fastest production car – the iconic Bugatti Chiron – the LEGO Technic life-size model pushes the boundaries of what LEGO builders imagined was possible to build in LEGO elements.

The model is the first large scale movable construction developed using over 1,000,000 LEGO Technic elements and powered exclusively using motors from the LEGO Power Function platform. Packed with 2,304 motors and 4,032 LEGO Technic gear wheels, the engine of this 1.5 tonnes car is generating 5.3 horse power and an estimated torque of 92 Nm.

Lena Dixen, Senior Vice President of Product and Marketing at the LEGO Group said:

LEGO Minifigure Sketches Austin Carlson

Continuing with my coverage of the LEGO minifigure’s 40th birthday, we’ve already taken a look at some of the patents that have been granted and after that, we go to the design process of some minifigures that have been produced already. Below are some hand sketches from various LEGO designers to show some of the details and thought processes of how they came up with the particular characters. Again, we as fans don’t usually see this kind of stuff so we definitely appreciate that LEGO sent over some assets for us to share to the community.

LEGO Minifigure Patents for Various Countries

August 29, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Minifigure Denmark Patent

On this day in Denmark back in 1977, the first patent for the LEGO Minifigure was handed in but there are also other patents for many other countries as well granted on different dates. As you can see below, some of these countries include the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and China. LEGO chose August 29 to celebrate the birthday of the LEGO minifigure and the date seems random but there’s an explanation.

August 29th has been chosen as this was the original date that the first patent was filed in Denmark, in 1977. The first minifigures were not launched until 1978, hence we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first launched minifigures and not when the first patent was filed.

LEGO Minifigures 40th Anniversary

In Denmark, it is August 29 and this was the original date that the first patent of the LEGO minifigure was handed in back in 1977. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure, LEGO has sent over a ton of assets for us to use and to show you some of the behind the scene stuff of how the minifigure went from an idea to what we have now. Note that the first minifigures were not launched until 1978, and hence LEGO is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first launched minifigures and not when the first patent was handed in, which is opposite to the 60th celebration of the LEGO brick.

Some of the images that were sent to us include design sketches of the Collectible Minifigures line and some of the design process of some of the characters from the past few years.

LEGO Minifigures 40th Anniversary

In addition, we also have an infographic showing some of the key milestones of the minifigure development from 1974 to today.

LEGO Minifigures 40th Anniversary

Since there’s so much content that LEGO has provided us with, I’ll be spreading the posts out for the next few days so stay tuned as you’ll get a look at things that you normally don’t see from LEGO. Before I leave, there’s a short story about the LEGO Minifigure.

LEGO BrickHeadz The Simpsons Homer & Krusty (41632)

It was just a few weeks ago that I reported on some more rumored 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets and today LEGO has officially announced one of them with The Simpsons Homer & Krusty the Clown (41632) set. Yes, you heard that right. The Simpsons license with LEGO is still going on and this new Simpsons BrickHeadz will be coming out later this year. The two pack features Homer Simpson with a donut and Krusty the Clown. This is sort of an odd pairing but hopefully we’ll see more Simpsons characters in the future.

LEGO Creator Winter Village

According to the September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar, there are two VIP Early Access sets that will be released starting on September 13. One of the sets is the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) and the other set is the LEGO Creator Winter Village 2018 set. Lately, LEGO has been teasing some of their upcoming sets and they have revealed in their LEGO News segment, that the set will be announced on September 9. It lands on a Sunday so it’s actually pretty weird that they would do an announcement on that day but we’ll see.

As you can see from the four teaser images, LEGO shows off a Christmas tree, a snowman, a lamp post, and a red telephone. There hasn’t been any rumors on what the next Winter Village set will be but my sources have told me that it could be a Firehouse. Of course, my sources could be wrong but it’ll only be a few weeks before we see what it is. What do you guys think the 2018 LEGO Winter Village set will be?

I’ve been thinking of adding in random giveaways in my review posts so it gives an incentive for those who actually read them. I’m not a prolific LEGO set reviewer but I do what I can with the time that I have so this is a way to thank those who take their time to read my opinion of the sets.

The LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter theme has had a very warm welcome back and along with this theme, we also get a Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Collectible Minifigures (71022) line and the set has the most minifigures that has been in a Collectible Minifigures series coming in at a whopping 22 characters. The series consist of characters from both the Harry Potter movies as well as the first Fantastic Beasts movie. Each packet costs $3.99 each and I’ll do a breakdown of the distribution at the end of the review.

Overwatch Sanctuary Map Built with LEGO at Overwatch Fan Festival

August 25, 2018 / / 0 Comments

As we still patiently wait for the reveal of the LEGO Overwatch sets, one of the big news from the Overwatch Fan Festival a few days ago was D.Va animated short, Shooting Star, but along side that was the reveal of a new Control map, Busan. The only LEGO related thing that has come out from the Overwatch Fan Festival is Sanctuary made out of LEGO bricks. It looks like Blizzard hired someone to create the map but it doesn’t seem like it’ll be part of the initial wave of sets coming out in January.

If we were going to see the LEGO Overwatch sets, it’ll probably be either at PAX West next week or during Blizzcon in November. The thing about Blizzcon is that Blizzard will be doing announcements weeks before the event so they could be revealed even before Blizzcon starts.

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) Found in LEGO Certified Store

August 24, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289)

Yesterday I made a speculative post on a potential LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley set which was supposedly teased in the Hogwarts Castle designer video and it looks like that set is real. According to Brickset, a mini Diagon Alley (40289) has been found on store shelves in a Slovenia LEGO Certified Store. The set consists of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, Ollivanders, Flourish & Blotts, Quality Quiddich Supplies and Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and it also includes an exclusive Ollivander minifigure.

There’s no word yet on pricing or release date at this time but at least we know the set actually exists and it fits the scale of Hogwarts Castle (71043). What do you guys think of the set?

LEGO Diagon Alley Teaser in Hogwarts Castle Designer Video?

August 23, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley

Here’s some news of a potential future LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter set which comes from the Hogwarts Castle (71043) designer video. A little past the halfway point of the video at 4:30, you can see something blurred out in the background and the rumor is that it could be a mini Diagon Alley. You can see the purple and orange building which could be Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes. The left building with the white columns could be the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. The middle building is still a mystery to me but I would assume would be Ollivanders since that is one of the most notable shops in Diagon Alley.

Do you guys think that the blurred buildings in the background is Diagon Alley or just something LEGO put there for more detailing for Hogwarts? We do know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers for upcoming sets in their videos and images so there’s a slight chance that we could get Diagon ALley.

LEGO Bricktober 2018 Sets Confirmed for Barnes & Noble

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

Earlier today I reported that we finally get some images of the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets which came from a Toys R Us Germany flyer. Unfortunaly for those countries including the US who doesn’t have a Toys R Us anymore, it was up in the air of which retailer would be getting the set. It has been confirmed on Twitter that Barnes & Noble, of all places, will be getting the sets later this year. There’s still no dates on when the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available but at least we know where we can get them.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about this piece of news. I was at work and couldn’t update for the past few hours.

Update: LEGO just clarified that only the LEGO Harry Potter set will be available at Barnes & Noble so it’s still unsure which retailer(s) will get the other ones.

LEGO Bricktober 2018

A few months ago, I reported on some rumored LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets and it looks like we now have a first look at the sets that come from a German Toys R Us flyer. There will be four sets in the wave and they include various LEGO themes including LEGO Harry Potter (5005254), LEGO Jurassic World (5005255), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256), and LEGO Ninjago (5005257).

The LEGO Harry Potter set will include minifigures of Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape.

THe LEGO Jurassic World set will have Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and a small velociraptor.

The LEGO Ninjago set will have characters from the Sons of Garmadon storyline.

Finally the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set will have War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky.

There’s no word yet if the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available outside of Toys R Us but if you look closely at the sets, you’ll notice that there is no Toys R Us printing like with sets from previous years so it makes me think that they will be available elsewhere.

LEGO BrickHeadz

The year is slowly winding down and all of the 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets have already been announced and revealed, however, we have gotten some rumors of some 2019 BrickHeadz sets. From the details that I’ve received, it seems that we will be getting a two-pack set for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald featuring Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald (41631).

Another set may come as a huge surprise but it looks like we’ll be getting a Simpsons BrickHeadz set that features Homer Simpson and Krusty the Clown (41632). As I said, this comes at a surprise because we thought that the Simpsons license had expired when we didn’t get any more sets for the theme. I look forward to seeing what other characters LEGO decides to produce for this popular show.

Correction: I’ve been told these two sets will be coming out later this year.

LEGO Creator Free Fall Tower (10267) Listing for 2018?

August 14, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Creator Free Fall Tower (10267)

Here’s something interesting that was just sent my way earlier today. According to Brickmerge.de, there’s another LEGO Creator amusement park set that is supposedly coming out this year with the Free Fall Tower (10267). It interesting because we’ve already gotten an amusement park set this summer with the Roller Coaster (10261) and they usually release once a year so twice a year will be really surprising. If it is a legit listing, we probably won’t see it until summer of next year but LEGO could drop a bombshell on us.

Another thing to note is that LEGO usually calms down on the direct-to-consumer set announcements from October to December, at least from the past few years, so it’ll be really surprising to see another larger set coming out this year. The next D2C sets that are rumored to be releasing this year are in September with the LEGO Star Wars Cloud City set and the LEGO Creator Winter Village set.

What do you guys think of a Free Fall Tower set that is listed to be released this year? Do you think it’s a bit too much since we’ve already gotten the Roller Coaster not too long ago? Personally, I don’t think it’s anything verifiable at this time since this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that there was going to be a LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set but as we know by now, it was delayed due to the tragedy late last year at one of the original hotels in the set. Fast forward eight months and LEGO decided to swap out one of the hotels as well as changing out the box printing and a few pages out of the instruction booklet. There’s no details of the price but counting the parts in the back of the booklet, there are 501 pieces unless I calculated wrong.

J.K. Rowling’s newest series of movies for the the Wizarding World kicked off in 2016 with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. To much dismay of LEGO fans, there were no LEGO system sets that were produced for the movie which was interesting however there some LEGO Dimensions sets but they weren’t the same. Fast forward to this year and LEGO has revived the Harry Potter theme with the Wizarding World tie-in and there is finally a Fantastic Beasts set that is worth waiting for with Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952). The set has 694 pieces and retails for $49.99. The contents of the box include four numbered bags, a bagged wing for the Thunderbird, a small sticker sheet, and two instruction booklets.

LEGO Overwatch Minisite Launched

August 8, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Overwatch

Back in May, Activision Blizzard shocked the community and announced that they will be teaming up with LEGO to produce some LEGO Overwatch sets. Other than that announcement, there hasn’t been any news about it until today. LEGO has already set up a minisite for the theme with the caption, “Let’s get this moving! LEGO Overwatch – Coming Soon”

If you’re familiar with Overwatch, you would know that quote is from Tracer when pushing the payload. The background also shows a faded image of a setting. It’s hard to tell what it is but to me it looks like the Numbani stage. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

There’s still no word on when LEGO Overwatch will be coming out but it looks like it’ll be sometime in 2019 because of the copyright at the bottom of the image. Whenever it is, I’m extremely looking forward to seeing and building the sets.

LEGO Answers Questions About LEGO Powered Up

August 7, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Powered Up

A short time ago, LEGO asked LUGs and fan media around the world to take questions about the new LEGO Powered Up system which are in some of the new products such as the LEGO City Trains and in the App-Controlled Batmobile (76112).

Over on the LAN Blog, LEGO has answered a number of questions regarding the LEGO Powered Up system and it looks like there are major changes to expect from the old Power Functions system. One of the main questions I’ve seen been asked on social media is backwards compatibility with PF and it looks they will not be and LEGO will be leaning on the AFOL community to come up with solutions to that problem.

There’s a lot to take in at this time because LEGO Powered Up is still very new but I’m interested to see how the LEGO community will manage to integrate it into their current setups especially in the train and great ball contraption communities where a tried and true framework is still ideal for what they need their layout to do.

What are your thoughts on Powered Up? Let us know in the comments below.

Make Your Own LEGO Harry Potter Chocolate Frog Cards

August 6, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Currently, the hottest LEGO theme right now is probably the LEGO Wizarding World sets which comprise of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. Fans have been thoroughly enjoying the return of Harry Potter and have been experimenting with some of the new parts from the new wand sprues which has been documented by New Elementary and also creating new Harry Potter MOCs. One that I’ve came across and have been told about are the Chocolate Frog Cards by Daan de Ruijter. The Chocolate Frogs were first seen on the Hogwarts Express in The Sorcerer’s Stone and with the sweets, there’s also collectible cards of famous wizards and witches.

Daan has made a very good replica of the card featuring the new Albus Dumbledore minifigure from the latest Collectible Minifigures (71022) series. Seeing that he has gotten some great responses from his first image, he has graciously provided the building instructions over on his website and has even provided the parts list as well. You can even customize it to whichever wizard or witch that you desire by switching out the minifigure. The only hard thing is making the stickers for the names.

Two LEGO VIP Early Access Sets Coming September 13-30

September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar

The September 2018 LEGO Store Calendar came out a few days ago and we’ve had time to look it over and see what’s coming up. Probably the most interesting thing for the month is the two VIP Early Access sets from September 13-30 but what could they be?

One of the sets could be highly rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Cloud City set which we first talked about in January which I gave a detailed explaination of how it could be coming. The other set could possibly be the annual LEGO Creator Winter Village set which I have no idea what it is. There might have been some rumors but I haven’t actively looked for it so I wouldn’t know.

What do you guys think the two sets could be released next month for VIP Early Access? Let us know in the comments below.

Countries that still have Toys R Us stores could possibly still see this set but I’ll let you know when it is available. Until then, the building instructions are live on LEGO’s servers so you can build your own but there are some printed bricks of stars that are exclusive to this set.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Store Pre-Orders in Canada

July 30, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

A few days ago, I reported that LEGO Stores here in the US were taking pre-orders for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) and now it looks like LEGO Stores in Canada are also doing the same thing as well. All you have to do is put down $40 and you’re guaranteed a set when it is released next month. I’m sure there will be some logistics for them to figure out such as having a separate line for pre-orders and those who didn’t when the store opens.

This LEGO pre-ordering system in-store seems like a new endeavor to help guage how the demand will be for a particular set. I wished it was implemented during the release of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) but I assume this was put in place because of what happened with the Falcon and I hope they keep doing it for big future releases. The Hogwarts Castle will be available on August 15 for VIP members and on September 1 for the general public.

Thanks to Jerry for the heads up.

There are now official images of the updated LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set that have appeared on Amazon.

The set will now have the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign, Bellagio Hotel, Luxor Las Vegas, Encore at the Wynn, Startosphere Las Vegas, and the Fremont Street Experience.

LEGO Stores Taking Pre-Orders for LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)?

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) was just announced yesterday morning and it’ll be available on August 15 for VIP members and September 1 for the general public. I’ve been told by a source that LEGO Stores may be taking pre-orders for this set as there was a sign in the front stating “Ask us about how to Pre-Order our new Exclusive.” I was also told that the deposit for it was $39.99. I’m not sure if all LEGO Stores are doing pre-orders but it’s interesting to see LEGO trying something new for their exclusive sets as there will be a high demand for the Hogwarts Castle when it comes out in a few short weeks. I suggest contact your store to see if they are indeed taking pre-orders for it. I haven’t been down to my store yet to check but if someone did do it, let us know in the comments.

If you didn’t see the announcement post, Hogwarts Castle (71043) will become the second largest ever LEGO set coming in at 6,020 pieces and it will retail for $399.99. Head over to the link above to see the press release as well as a ton of images that LEGO has sent over.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

If you’ve been a long-time reader of the site, you would know that usually after San Diego Comic Con I would do some giveaways for some of the LEGO swag I get from the event from exclusive minifigures to sets. Unfortunately this year, I was not lucky enough to win any of the LEGO lotteries so I don’t have any of those to give away, however, I did grab some of the extra LEGO posters the booth was handing out including the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years and the Superman 80th anniversary. I’ve also grabbed an extra LEGO DC Super Heroes Jessica Cruz minifigure polybag from the Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis screening.

All three items are up for grabs with this LEGO SDCC swag pack and I may even throw in one of The Brick Fan brick badges that I was giving away there. All you have to do is enter my raffle below and it’s pretty much self explanatory. The raffle will run until August 1. The contest is open worldwide and items will be shipped in a poster tube.

Revealed last month, there will be a new LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter polybag coming out called Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts (30407). Supposedly, they are set to come out in August and there are a few reports that state Target stores have starting getting shipments of them in. So far, I’ve only seen a handful of images of people finding it so most stores may not have them in yet. The DPCI number for the polybag is 204-00-0291 but it is shared with other polybags so doing an inventory search for it isn’t helpful and the easiest way find them is to actually go to a Target location. The polybags are usually found at the checkout lanes and sometimes on the endcaps near the LEGO aisle. Happy hunting!

The Warner Bros. panel was a few days ago at San Diego Comic Con and later in the day the booth handed out an exclusive poster for The LEGO Movie 2 to attendees.

Since it looks like it’s an SDCC exclusive, I doubt that LEGO will be using this one as a promotional item. I’ve pulled the trigger on one of them to see how it is and I’ll report back on the quality of it.

There was another new character that was briefly shown off during the panel named Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi who is voiced by Tiffany Haddish who is somewhat like a giant three-eyed, tentacled creature. Finally, I’ve already talked about Jason Momoa voicing Aquaman which you can check out here. There’s no footage of the short panel so hopefully we’ll get to see it in the next few weeks after SDCC is finished.

Jason Momoa to Voice Aquaman in The LEGO Movie 2

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

Today was the Warner Bros. Hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con 2018 and there were some epic trailers that were shown off including a new clip that was shown for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. The clip confirms that Jason Momoa has been revealed to be voicing Aquaman in the upcoming animated film.

Fans in attendance got to see a short part of the film in which Aquaman is in his traditional outfit appearing alongside Batman, voiced by Will Arnett. Batman sort of brushes off Aquaman and subsequently, Aquaman uses Batman as a surfboard and even uses the voiceline, “My Man” just like in Justice League.

Speaking of Aquaman, there is a life-sized statue of Aquaman made from 30,450 bricks and took 190 hours to design and build.

Exclusive LEGO Marvel & DC Super Heroes SDCC 2018 Posters

July 19, 2018 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

If you were at San Diego Comic Con 2018 late this afternoon, LEGO was handing out some surprise exclusive LEGO super hero posters. You were given a choice of either the LEGO Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years which is a recreation of the famous poster or a LEGO DC Super Heroes Superman 80th Anniversary poster which shows Superman in a minifigure form recreating some famous scenes from Superman’s history.

I kindly asked the people manning the table if I could get both posters and they allowed it but most people walked away with either or. I’m not sure if the LEGO booth will have more of these two posters the rest of the con or if there will be other posters to collect as well but I’ll be checking in periodically. Which one of these posters do you like the best?
