The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman & Tears of Batman (30607) Available Again Starting Black Friday

LEGO Black Friday 2017

I’ve already talked about some of the promotions that will be happening during Brick/Black Friday 2017 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. These promos include the free LEGO Seasonal Nutcracker (40254) with a purchase of $99 or more, a free Canvas Tote Bag with a purchase of $199 or more, and free shipping on all orders.

As you can see above, LEGO has added on another promotion starting on Black Friday which is a free The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman & Tears of Batman (30607) polybag with a purchase of The Joker Manor (70922). The promo will be at both LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home and will run until the end of the year, while supplies last. This is a nice addition if you were already planning on getting The Joker Manor and especially if you didn’t get a chance to get the polybag when it was first available earlier in the year.

Tiffany & Co. “Everyday Objects” Building Blocks

Tiffany & Co. is known for their high-end jewelry but today they’ve launched an “Everyday Objects” line that transforms everyday items into expensive objects. One of the more notable items are the $1500 Building Blocks that look like your favorite construction toys. The blocks are made out of sterling silver and American walnut and have various shapes like 2×2 and 2×3. One of the bricks that LEGO does not produce are 2x5s which this set has four of, one of which is complete sterling silver.

If money is no object then you may be interested in the Tiffany & Co. Everyday Objects Building Blocks. Of course, engraving is a little extra but since you’re already dropping $1500 on it, a little bit more is nothing. I can think of a number of LEGO sets that I can drop this amount of money on.

LEGO Inside Tour 2018 Registration Now Open

Registration for the 2018 LEGO Inside Tour has begun and it’s time to put your name on the list if you want to participate this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Unlike previous years, it doesn’t look like it’s a first-come, first-served but more of a waiting listing and LEGO choosing random people. The deadline to enter is Friday, November 10 at 10am CET.

There are five tours that are available and if it’s the same as before, about 80 or so attendees are chosen for each session. The dates that you can attend are:

May 23-25
May 30-June 1
June 13-15
September 12-14
September 19-21

What is LEGO Inside Tour?

LEGO Inside Tour provides a unique look into the LEGO Group often referred to as ‘a once–in-a-lifetime experience’. You are invited inside Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s original house, featuring an extraordinary exhibition of LEGO sets and models that date back to 1934. You will meet LEGO employees and especially LEGO designers, who will introduce you to their daily work at the LEGO Group, and you will take part in a unique building experience together with LEGO designers. Part of the LEGO Inside Tour consists of a factory tour, where you can see how LEGO bricks are produced. LEGO Inside Tour also stops at the LEGO staff shop.

At the end of the tour, you will receive a unique gift exclusively produced in close cooperation with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen especially for this year’s LEGO Inside Tour participants.

The LEGO Group’s headquarters are based in Billund, Denmark, and here the LEGO Inside

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Sets Showing Up at Target

There are now images of some LEGO Star Wars 2018 sets that have started appearing in stores here in the US. These sets were found at a Target in Texas and it’s kind of surprising that they are already being sold. The first set is a Sandspeeder (75204) which contains 278 pieces. It’s similar to the T-47 Snowspeeders but with slight changes including the color swap. The other set is a limited edition LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz featuring Rey & Kylo Ren (41489). This set is a Target exclusive that contains both BrickHeadz which you can also get individually as well.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it the past few days but I was waiting for confirmation.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934) Available at Target

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

We’re in the start of the second week of the Target promotions and this week, they have the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934) available. You can get for free with a LEGO purchase of $35 or you can buy it individually for $6.99 each.

What’s misleading about this set is that the tree itself is just the cardboard cutout while you get pieces for the star on the top and the present builds along with the two minifigures. There is no tree that is shown on the box which is a major bummer as it would’ve been very nice to get it. Even so, the set does make a somewhat decent stocking stuffer.

Stock at your nearest location may vary as some stores have already started selling them last week. If that’s the case, online is your best chance to get it.

LEGO Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar (75184) 20% Off on Amazon

If you’ve been holding off for a sale on the LEGO Star Wars 2017 Advent Calendar (75184), Amazon has you covered. It is currently at $31.99 which is 20% off the retail price of $39.99 and includes Prime shipping. This is probably the lowest price you’ll see this set at as last year’s set didn’t dip below $31.95 from Amazon.

Open a door of this super-fun advent calendar each day in December to discover a LEGO® Star Wars themed minifigure, starship, vehicle or other collectible. There’s even a foldout playmat featuring images from Jakku, Starkiller Base and deep space for epic Star Wars encounters. This holiday gift is perfect for rebels, Sith Lords, Scavengers and any other life form, and includes 7 minifigures and a BB-8 figure.

The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939) Bricktober 2017 Review

The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939) Bricktober 2017

Bricktober 2017 at Toys R Us has passed and one of the more anticipated sets of minifigures for this year was for The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939). As we know by now, Batman had a lot of suits in his arsenal and this set has four exclusive ones. This set was available for free with a $50 purchase here in the US or you could have bought it separately for $19.99.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) Revealed

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod

Yesterday I reported on the December 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and probably the most interesting promotion for the month is the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376). It will be available from December 15 – January 14, 2018 with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $60 or more, while supplies last.

The Darth Vader Pod continues the series of pods that have been released or will be released this year including the Batman Battle Pod (4929), Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916), and Friends Ski Pod (5004920). The latter two Pods are available at Toys R Us. Unlike the other pods in which you can purchase individually, the Darth Vader Pod most likely won’t be unless Toys R Us carries it late next year.

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) Available on Amazon

If you’ve been waiting for it, the new LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) set is also now available on Amazon. It’s at the retail price of $24.99 and has free shipping for Prime members. Like on Shop@Home, there is a limit of two per person. I’ve already done a review of the set and it is a highly recommended set.

It features minifigures of 4 pioneering women of NASA— astronomer and educator Nancy Grace Roman, computer scientist and entrepreneur Margaret Hamilton, astronaut, physicist and entrepreneur Sally Ride and astronaut, physician and engineer Mae Jemison—and 3 builds illustrating their areas of expertise.

The LEGO Trademark Now Recognized as a Well-Known Trademark in China

Back in September 2016, The LEGO Company started their legal battle against companies that produced knockoff sets. In what appears to be a landmark victory and a first step to take on counterfeiters, The LEGO Group has announced that the LEGO logo and name is now a “well-known” trademark in China meaning that it can now take action against companies that infringe on the trademark.

The Beijing Higher Court passed a ruling earlier this year [July 22, 2017] that recognises the LEGO® logo and the LEGO name in Chinese as ’well-known’ trademarks in China. The well-known trademark recognition is an important milestone in getting broader protection for LEGO trademarks in China. This means that the LEGO Group is now in a better position to act against infringement of LEGO trademarks, also outside the toy category.

Peter Thorslund Kjær, Vice President, Legal Affairs in the LEGO Group, said: “The ruling by the Beijing Higher Court is very important for the LEGO Group. It reflects the significant effort and investment put into marketing the LEGO brand and products towards the Chinese consumers, and it further reduces the risk that consumers in China are misled when they see the LEGO logo or the LEGO name in future. We are now in a better legal position acting against infringement of LEGO trademarks and defending our trademark portfolio.

“We see this as a recognition of our status in China as a known and loved brand by parents and children, and we appreciate the support from the Chinese government and authorities to

LEGO Seasonal 24-in-1 Holiday Countdown Set (40253) Promotion Now Live on Shop@Home

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928) Review

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928)

One of the more elusive polybags for The LEGO Batman Movie when it was first released was the Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928). The only way to get it earlier this year was to watch the movie at Cinemark Theatres or buy it on the secondary market but now you can get it at Target. You can either purchase $30 worth of LEGO Batman products and get it for free or but it outright for $5.99 each.

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928)

The printing on the minifigure is exclusive to this set and it is a white suit with red kisses all over the front and back of the torso as well as on the arms along with some more kisses on the front and sides of the legs. The cowl technically can not be removed as there is a metal pin going down the cowl, head, and torso however if you want to remove the pin, The Brick Blogger has a very good article on various methods on how to take it out. The only thing that can’t be taken apart are the torso and legs.

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928)

It is unfortunate that a cool suit like this came as a keychain but that’s how marketing works. The promotion at Target will run until November 4, while supplies last. My closest store was all sold out last week even before the promo started which was a bummer so I had to get it online. I heard this was happening at some other … Continue

LEGO Ideas The Dive Shop Achieves 10,000 Supporters

Could We Look Forward to LEGO Re-Releasing More Retired Sets?

LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256)

Earlier this morning, LEGO announced the re-release of the LEGO Creator Taj Mahal (10256) that will be coming in a few short weeks. I believe this is the fifth “re-release” set that has been announced in the past few years with the Carousel (10257), Winter Toy Shop (10249), UCS Death Star (75159) and the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) being the first couple. This looks to be a continuing trend that LEGO is doing and it might not be a bad thing. Newer fans are now able to purchase it again, at a slightly higher retail price, but at least it won’t that scarce anymore. This might also be a move to detract resellers since LEGO sets are supposed to be built and not be a form of currency. For example, since the announcement of the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), the price of a sealed copy of the original Falcon has dropped considerably on the secondary market.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

LEGO fans have been asking for re-releases of retired sets for a long time and we know that LEGO has been listening. Even LEGO designer Jamie Berard stated it in the Taj Mahal teaser video. Heck, I even did an April Fool’s joke back in 2015 about it. The wheels may have been churning for a while now and it seems that now is a great time for old sets to make a comeback keeping in mind that it’s almost been been a decade … Continue

Could We See More Continuity in Future LEGO City Sets?

LEGO City Pickup & Caravan (60182)

Official images of some of the new 2018 LEGO City sets came out today and eagle-eyed fans may have noticed some implied continuity with one of the sets. If you look closely at the family, they may look somewhat familiar. That is because the mother and father appear to be the same minifigures as the ones in the 2016 Fun in the Park – City People Pack (60134), minus the color swap on the mother’s pants. The baby, however, looks to be grown up now and is enjoying the outdoors with his parents!

The continuity theory is interesting for LEGO to throw in because since we grow up with these sets, it’s nice that the sets also grow up with us as well. I do look forward to seeing more continuity in future LEGO City sets. Maybe next year we can see the child as an adult and the parents be older adults.

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928) Available Online at Target

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928)

One of the more elusive items for The LEGO Batman Movie was the Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman Keychain (5004928) which was only available at Cinemark when the movie first premiered back in February. As I reported a few days ago, the keychain polybag will also be available at Target for their holiday ad in which you can get it for free with a purchase of $30 or more on LEGO Batman products or buy it individually for $5.99 each.

We now know that you can also purchase it online at the same price as well. This is convenient for those who don’t want to go out and search for them. It’s nice to know that this polybag is actually a wider release product since not that many people had a Cinemark location near them.

LEGOLAND New York to Open in 2020

LEGOLAND New York

Merlin Entertainments has announced that LEGOLAND New York will be starting construction soon and will be opening in 2020. The park will be located in Goshen and will be open seasonally from April 1 to November 1. In addition, there will also be a LEGOLAND Hotel that will be open year round as well. LEGOLAND New York will be the 9th LEGOLAND park in the world.

Merlin Entertainments moves forward with LEGOLAND® New York Merlin Entertainments Chief Executive Officer Nick Varney officially declares the launch of the Park

GOSHEN, N.Y. (Oct. 25, 2017) — Merlin Entertainments Chief Executive Officer Nick Varney officially announced that LEGOLAND® New York is being built. The gathering took place at the Palacio Catering and Conference Center in Goshen today, Oct. 25, with more than 250 people attending.

After Varney officially announced that LEGOLAND New York will open in 2020, more than 30,000 LEGO bricks were dumped onto the stage by construction vehicles and 1,500 balloons cascaded from the ceiling much to the delight of local school children in attendance.

“We have spent a lot of time building relationships in the community, listening and responding to concerns, and we are looking forward to building a theme park that will enhance the community and be a tremendous neighbor,” said Varney. “I am honored to announce LEGOLAND New York is officially moving forward.”

LEGO Unkitty! Spoooooky Game Clip

LEGO Unikitty!

A few days ago, I reported on the LEGO Unkitty! Halloween preview episode that will be airing on Cartoon Network on Friday, October 27 and now there is a short clip of the episode titled Spoooooky Game. If you listened closely at the beginning, you can hear the opening song performed by BABYMETAL who was announced back in July that they will be doing it. Tara Strong will be voicing Unikitty while Grey Griffin, Kate Micucci, Roger Craig Smith, Eric Bauza, and H. Michael Croner will be voicing some of the supporting characters.

As ruler of the kingdom, Unikitty — whose efforts to stay positive and avoid negativity no matter what sometimes makes her prone to the “occasional rage-out” — keeps busy with royal responsibilities. Unikitty is most interested in making sure everyone is happy and ridding the kingdom of negativity, but she is a force to be reckoned with if anyone gets in the way of spreading her positive vibes, especially if anyone makes her little brother and best friend, Puppycorn, sad. Also living in the castle are Dr. Fox, the resident scientist, Unikitty’s trusty bodyguard, Hawkodile, and a firey bird, Flain. Through it all, Unikitty and her friends make sure that every day is the happiest and most creative ever.

LEGO Dimensions Cancellation Announcement

LEGO Dimensions

After much speculation, LEGO Dimensions has announced that the toys-to-life game will be officially ending. News came out last week about the game being cancelled but Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released this statement a short time ago. There will not be any more expansion packs released but it seems like the servers will still be up as well as customer support. Obviously, this will disappoint fans of the game as well as fans of the LEGO minifigures themselves as we did get some really good ones. The LEGO Dimensions Starter and Expansions Packs will still be sold and will probably see discounts this holiday season. Which packs are your favorites?

LEGO Unikitty! Halloween Preview Episode This Week

LEGO Unikitty!

Back in May, it was announced that there will be a standalone Cartoon Network animated show called Unikitty! from The LEGO Movie that will be airing this year. I saw the first episode of it during SDCC and there will be a 20 minute preview of the show this Friday, October 27 at 6:10pm PST titled Spoooooky Game. Going off the title, it’ll be Halloween episode which is different from the one shown off at SDCC. If you miss the airing, there will be another showing on Sunday, October 29 at 5:45pm PST.

LEGO Minifigures (5004941) Toys R Us Bricktober 2017 Set Now Available

LEGO Bricktober 2017 Minifigures (5004941)

Today starts the last week of Bricktober 2017 at Toys R Us here in the US and with a purchase of $50 or more, you can get the LEGO Minifigures (5004941) set. This one, in my opinion, is one of the more high sought after Bricktober 2017 sets simply because of the minifigure selection. Even though they look they look like previously released minifigures, they are all slightly different from before.

As for the LEGO City Jungle (5004940) set from last week, some stores may sell them starting today for $19.99 each while some stores may hold off until the end of Bricktober to start selling them.

LEGO Pods Availability Revealed in 2017 Toy R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai's Dojo Pod (5004916)

A few months ago, images of a couple of new LEGO “pod” polybags showed up online. These included The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) and the LEGO Friends Ski Pod (5004920). There has been no information on their availability until now. Toys R Us has released their 2017 Toys R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book and inside it shows how to get them. According to the ad, you can get either one with a purchase of $30 or more on a LEGO construction set(s). Below are the RWeb# for the pods:

Kai’s Dojo Pod (327669)
Ski Pod (196631)

The ads don’t say when the two LEGO pods are available but the prices in the book start on October 26-November 18. I assume the two promos start and end on the same days as well. The LEGO deals 2017 Toy R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book start on page 72 and there are also more spread throughout the book.

How to Make LEGO a Minifigure Cardboard Costume

It’s almost Halloween and if you’re still looking for a costume and has some time, The Q has released a video on how to make a functional LEGO minifigure costume. This is probably one of the most accurate looking LEGO minifigure costumes I’ve seen but it does take some time and lots of material to create. One thing about it is that it can be used for other occasions besides Halloween and it’s a template for other characters if you want to expand on it.

LEGO City Dirt Road Pursuit (60172)

It looks like LEGO is getting ready to sell the 2018 sets on Shop@Home as they have uploaded the new LEGO City Dirt Road Pursuit (60172) to their servers. It’s a Police set but it does include a new net shooter feature which I believe other 2018 City sets will have in this subtheme. There’s also some new parts that it has including a new dirt bike mold and helmet, just to name a few.

Rumored LEGO Sets for Solo: A Star Wars Story

A few days ago, the Han Solo standalone film, got its title of simply Solo: A Star Wars Story which was confirmed by director Ron Howard who took over for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. As with other Star Wars movies, there will be some LEGO sets to accompany the film. According to “rumors,” there will be five system sets (75207, 75209, 75210, 75211, 75212) and possibly two buildable figures (75535, 75536) that will be released in April 2018 for it. According to one of my sources, there will be a Millennium Falcon, not surprisingly, but it will don a blue and white paint job.

We’ll probably won’t see images of these sets at next year’s Nuremberg and New York Toy Fairs since LEGO usually keeps licensed under wraps. Solo: A Star Wars Story will be in theaters May 25, 2018.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle D2C Set in 2018?

Back in August, I did a post reporting that we may be seeing the return of LEGO Harry Potter in 2018 which included sets as well as a Collectible Minifigure Series. There’s a new rumor floating around that we could also be seeing a direct-to-consumer set (71043) for the theme. One logical suggestion is that this D2C Harry Potter set may feature Hogwarts Castle similar to what LEGO did last year with The Disney Castle (71040). If this is true, the large scale Hogwarts can show various rooms or memorable scenes from the eight films.

Of course this is only currently a rumor so take it with a grain of salt until something official is announced by LEGO. Note that the image above is from the 2010 set which was one of my first reviews on The Brick Fan. How time flew by.

LEGO Dimensions Officially Cancelled

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

We’ve talked about this back in March but it looks like LEGO Dimensions has been officially cancelled. A source that is close to to TT Games has told Eurogamer that the game is over and done, a year earlier than expected. There isn’t expected to be an official announcement as it seems that TT Games wants it to be silently cancelled. This news was first talked about by Bricks to Life back in March as well.

A reason for the game being going away is that the sales for the Year 2 content did not meet expectations as the whole toys-to-life genre has been slowly fading away. One interesting tidbid is that some of the Year 3 content included Lord Vortech to round out the story. Some other planned expansions included LEGO Minecraft, another Doctor Who pack to feature Missy, and DC Comics Super Heroes Flash. The company also had an idea to have a camera scan a LEGO build and replicate them in the game but this idea was shot down.

TT Games studio manager Dave Dootson sent a memo to the company when it was for sure the LEGO Dimensions was cancelled:

Thanks so much to everyone for making Dimensions possible. As difficult as it has been, it is worth celebrating the incredible achievement it represents in the quality of the game, the amazing blend of IPs and the challenging technical demands it presented. It stands as a real testament to the talent within TT.

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) Officially Announced

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312)

LEGO has officially revealed the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312) set. There were images of it that showed up online a few days ago but we now get the details of it. It will be available starting on November 1 for a retail price of USD/Euro 24.99 and if you’re in New York City on October 28, you can meet the designer of the set Maia Weinstock, aka 20tauri.

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312)

Follow in the footsteps of 4 pioneering women of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration—America’s space agency) with this fun and inspiring LEGO® set. Build the Hubble Space Telescope and learn astronomy with the ‘Mother of Hubble’ Nancy Grace Roman. Develop the software for space missions with computer scientist Margaret Hamilton. And launch the space shuttle with Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, and Mae Jemison, the world’s first woman of color in space. Build, play, learn and one day you too could become a science, technology, engineering or mathematics superstar!

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312)

A personal tribute to pioneers

Science editor and writer Maia Weinstock combined three of her personal passions in designing the Women of NASA set for LEGO® Ideas: space exploration, the history of women in science and engineering, and LEGO building.

“I thought people might like to build their own display featuring minifigures of accomplished women in the STEM [Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics] professions. For the vignettes, I wanted to contextualize each person in terms of her contribution to NASA history.”

“I was absolutely elated when the project reached 10,000 supporters!

Marvel Black Panther Trailer and LEGO Set Speculation

The new trailer for Marvel Studio’s Black Panther dropped earlier today there was a lot of cool new things that were shown off. It is rumored that there will be two LEGO sets coming out in conjunction with the movie next year as I reported back in July. What could LEGO pack in two sets that will have a big impact for fans or will it be something like the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 or Spider-Man: Homecoming sets from earlier this year?

One thing that we’ll most likely get is Black Panther in the new tech suit. I’m guessing that we’ll also see Erik Killmonger in the Golden Jaguar suit since he is one of the villains in the movie. As for the sets, one possibility is the ship that was seen at the beginning of the trailer because ships are a staple in movie tie-in sets. Another possibility is the chase scene at the end which also shows off Ulysses Klaue with a new arm.

What are you guys hoping to see in the LEGO Black Panther sets? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Bricktober 2017 City Jungle (5004940) Now Available

LEGO Bricktober 2017 City Jungle (5004940)

If you needed a reminder, the third week of the LEGO Bricktober 2017 promotion at Toys R Us has kicked off here in the US. For this week when you make a purchase of $50 or more in-store, you can get the LEGO City Jungle minifigures for free. If your store has any left, you can also now purchase The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939) set outright for $20.

This week’s promotion has already happened in other countries and will be happening in the UK in November. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of the LEGO City Bricktober set left over after this week as it is fairly weak compared to the LEGO Ninjago and TLBM ones.

The set is based on Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back after Han was sealed in carbonite in Cloud City. What’s interesting about this NYCC 2017 set is that it is the first Star Wars set for LEGO BrickHeadz. Does this mean that we could see more Star Wars characters for LEGO BrickHeadz in 2018?

LEGO Lester (40308) Polybag Available at Leicester Square

LEGO Lester (40308)

If you remember from last year at the opening of the Leicester Square flagship LEGO Brand Store, there was an exclusive Lester minifigure that was given away that was limited to 275. Well it appears that Lester may not be that limited after all. There’s a new Lester (40308) polybag that can now be purchased at Leicester Square for £5.99 each. This is great for fans who weren’t able one via the scratch card raffle when the store opened but is somewhat of a burn for those who got the original one. This particular Lester minifigure also has a black umbrella which the original one didn’t have so technically the new one is exclusive as well. Is there anyone in London who is able to send me a couple?

After four long years of planning and construction, the LEGO House has officially opened in Billund but last week over 600 AFOLs had a chance to visit before the ceremonial opening yesterday. One of these AFOLs who was able to attend was Joshua Hanlon from Beyond the Brick and they have released a new video giving us a thorough tour of what to expect at the LEGO House.

Unlike the other LEGO BrickHeadz sets, The LEGO Ninjago Movie ones are limited edition and will only be available until the end of 2017.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Availability Update

If you are a LEGO VIP member, you may have received an email from LEGO regarding the availability for the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). They have extended the VIP only access period through November which means that you must be a VIP member to be able to purchase the set. This also means that the general public won’t be able to purchase it on October 1 since they announced earlier that it will still be temporarily out of stock then. If you’re not a LEGO VIP member, I’m not sure why not, you can easily sign up online.

LEGO has also suggested that you call or visit your nearest LEGO Brand Store starting tomorrow to get put on the wait list for when shipment arrives at the store. Of course, there’s no way of knowing how many sets they will get per shipment so try to get on that list early for a higher chance to secure one.

As you may know, the new LEGO® Star Wars™ Millennium Falcon (75192), our largest LEGO set ever, went on sale exclusively to VIP Members on September 14. We are very excited that we received such a positive response from fans like yourself, it exceeded all of our expectations! Unfortunately, that also means the first batch has already sold out.

The good news is we are making more as quickly as possible and expect to have very limited quantities available for the remainder of 2017. We have extended the VIP-only access period, which means

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Earns $21.2 Million on Opening Weekend

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

The box office numbers are in for this past weekend and The LEGO Ninjago Movie opens at $21.2 million domestically which comes in third after Kingsman: The Golden Circle and It. The industry forecasted TLNM to make between $27-35 million but it stumbled out the gates and is currently at 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. The opening numbers are somewhat disappointing compared to the previous LEGO movies with The LEGO Movie opening at $69 million and The LEGO Batman Movie which opened at $53 million.

Warner Bros. had an pretty extensive marketing campaign for The LEGO Ninjago Movie which includes LEGO sets to accompany it but the movie did have more of a niche audience than the previous movies as it catered more to fans of the theme and not more of a wider audience like the other LEGO movies. As I stated in my spoiler-free review, I also felt that it wasn’t as good as TLM and TLBM but it was still decent. If you still haven’t seen it yet, I would still recommend it as it was still enjoyable but lower your expectations just a tad bit.

Wes’ legacy is remembered here in the community with LEGO Island, LEGO Island 2, and co-founded the Learning Range at LEGO. The success of LEGO Island spawned other themes including Island Xtreme Stunts and Racers and influenced subsequent video games such as LEGO Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609) Polybag Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609)

Today is the premiere of The LEGO Ninjago Movie in theaters and LEGO has started a new promotion in stores and on Shop@Home for the Lloyd (30609) minifigure polybag. This version of Lloyd is exclusive to this polybag and is seen partly in the movie and is a little bit different from the Lloyd you get in The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609)

The torso has printing of his green hoodie slightly zipped up over his ninja suit. This is a little different than the CMF one where he has a white shirt underneath instead. The legs are the same ones as in the CMF where he has on black pants with a brown belt and some printing of the bottom part of the hoodie. He has a single sided head with an angry expression. The hoodie/hair mold is also the same one as before but his hair is now light gray. I also want to note that the hair has some black misprinting on it. I’m not sure if this is a widespread issue or not. His accessory is his sword with a pearl-gold tassel. He does not come with the black stand as I use it for all my minifigure reviews.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Spoiler-Free Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

A few days ago, I attended an early press screening for The LEGO Ninjago Movie and here’s a non-spoiler review of the film. After the box office hits for The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie, I didn’t know if it could live up to the expectations the previous films did.

The story itself focuses on Lloyd and Garmadon for a majority of the movie which has been referenced in the trailers and promotional products. Dave Franco did a decent job voicing Lloyd while Justin Theroux captured Garmadon perfectly. Gone was the serious Garmadon from the animated TV series and in comes a lighthearted yet fearsome portrayal of the character. The other ninjas were in a number of scenes but to me, they are more secondary characters behind La-Lloyd. Since this is a Ninjago movie, I would’ve thought they would add more to the story but it seemed that they were thrown to the wayside. The other characters that sort of stood out a bit more than the other ninjas were Master Wu and and Koko.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

The animation was better than I expected. The sequences with the mechs and vehicles were really good and it does make the sets pop out a lot more. The action scenes were top-notch and there were easter eggs paying homage to the old school kung-fu movies. One thing that seemed a little off was that the movie does not use all brick elements to make. The water, beach sand, and grass was just some of the things that aren’t … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Target Scavenger Hunt

Next Saturday, September 30, Target stores are holding a scavenger hunt event for The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It will be held from 10am-1pm, local time, and for completing the hunt, there is a prize for it. I haven’t heard of events held at Target so I’m not sure how organized it will be. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as Walmart was for The LEGO Batman Movie.

Go to your local Target store on Saturday, September 30th from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (local time) to accept your Ninja Mission and earn a cool ninja reward. Find out if you have what it takes to complete the challenge! Offer good while prize supplies last. No rainchecks.

Toys R Us Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

As we know by now, Toys R Us has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but what will happen with the company and all the LEGO exclusives we could get from them? As an employee of Toys R Us/Babies R Us, what I’ve been told by my manager is that we’ll still be running normally like we’ve been running. No stores will be closing in the short term but may close poor performing stores after the holiday season. As for reports that a lot of vendors have refused to ship products, those are only for the smaller companies. I believe the larger companies like Mattel, Hasbro, and even LEGO are still getting products to the stores. There won’t be any “going out of business” sales because this isn’t a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and TRU is not going out of business at this time.

So what happens with all the LEGO products at Toys R Us? There shouldn’t be any change with the selection. For those here in the US who are waiting for the Bricktober 2017 sets, you should still be able to find them in a few weeks. There will still be various sales going on and TRU does price match Amazon and other retailers.

The Toys R Us bankruptcy comes just weeks after LEGO reported lower profits and layoffs themselves. It looks like that the whole toy industry isn’t doing well as a whole as more kids are gravitating to electronics and video games. We’ll see what happens after the holiday season but this is … Continue

LEGO Ranked Number 1 on 2017 Global CSR RepTrak 100

With the hype of the release of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), this piece of news was overlooked. It has been announced that The LEGO Group has become the Number 1 company in regards to reputation on corporate responsibility according to RepTrak 100. This comes a couple of months after LEGO was named the second most regarded company overall.

According to the survey, The LEGO Group surpasses Microsoft and Google who was at the second and top spot, respectively, last year. Chief Financial Officer Marjorie Lao said,

We are honoured to see that our efforts to positively impact the planet resonate with people all over the world. We feel a huge sense of responsibility to inspire and develop children through play while leaving a significant positive impact on the world children will inherit. It is part of our DNA as a company, and we will continue to set the bar high for ourselves to do better.

Few More Characters Revealed for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Captain America 2099

A few more characters have been revealed for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 the past few days. The first one is Horus who we’ve seen before but now we get a clearer image of him in his outfit which is the Earth-9106 version. The other character that has been revealed for the game is Captain America 2099. This is the third character from the 2099 Marvel Universe that will be in the game joining Spider-Man 2099 and Goblin 2099. I expect there will be more 2099 characters to be in the game and hoping for Ghost Rider 2099 and Punisher 2099.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379) Polybag Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379)

As I reported before, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379) polybag can now be found at Walmart and I’ve actually been able to find them. The polybag has 64 pieces and goes for $3.97 each and they can be found in a bin along with other LEGO polybags.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379)

The build is pretty straight-forward and it actually has some articulation to it. The arms do have some movement as they have some ball socket joints. The hands are on clips and they can move as well. The most interesting part is the wheel. It’s flat at the bottom so it can easily stand up. There are a couple of clips to make it seem like they’re connected to the wheel but it’s only an illusion and it works quite well.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379)

Overall I really like The LEGO Ninjago Movie Quake Mech (30379) polybag (Cole minifigure not included). I do like the look of it and it does recreate the mech we saw in the trailers very well. I don’t have anything to compare it to since there’s no regular scale set that has been released yet at this time. It is rumored that the Quake Mech will be released in the next wave of The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets. Until then, you can pick up this little guy at Walmart now.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai Keychain Promotion at Regal Cinemas

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Regal Cinemas

If you’re planning on seeing The LEGO Ninjago Movie next week, Regal Cinemas has a promotion when you purchase advance tickets to see it. I’m not sure how many are left, but the first 1,000 Regal Crown Club members who preorder tickets will get an “exclusive” Kai keychain. It’s not really an exclusive as it can be easily purchased LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home but if you’re seeing the movie anyways, it’s nice to get it for free.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Release Debacle

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

The day is almost over and the main event today was the release of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). It was available on Shop@Home shortly after 5am PST which was around the time that LEGO stated it would be released. After it was actually available, Shop@Home basically couldn’t handle the load and it kept going down. Other issues with it include logging people out, servers going into maintenance, multiple orders placed, etc. After that, the set went into backordered status, and eventually temporarily out of stock. If LEGO didn’t announce an actual time for the release and just put it live at an arbitrary time, I felt that it would have eased the overload on the servers.

For those who were waiting for the general release on October 1 or Double VIP Points from October 10-25, you might be out of luck as well. Over on LEGO’s customer service page, there’s a a topic for the Millennium Falcon and there’s an interesting blurb which says,

75192 Millennium Falcon™ goes on sale from October 1st 2017, however due to the overwhelming success of our VIP Early Access, it will remain temporarily sold out.

This means that LEGO will not have stock for the general release which is actually surprising since there was plenty of hype for it way before today and they obviously knew that there was a huge demand for it but probably underestimated how much demand it really had.

LEGO also stated that they’re continuing to make more but does … Continue

The LEGO Movie Sequel Story Revealed

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about The LEGO Movie Sequel but Collider has some new details on what the story will be. As we know by now, the end of the first movie involves Finn’s sister playing with DUPLO bricks and they announced their plans to destroy them. In an interview with Dan Lin, he stated:

We’re picking up where the first movie left us, where the Duplo have now come and they’re attacking Bricksburg. It’s several years later, and you’re going to see the result of that.

Another part of The LEGO Movie Sequel could tackle on gender differences, more specifically how a boy plays with LEGO is different from how a girl plays with LEGO.

Chris McKay stated:

I’m really excited about where the movie is gonna go because it’s about these things that are actual notions that people have that might even be unconscious biases, where people don’t even realize that that’s the way they’re looking at the world.

Check out the full interview over on Collider in the link above.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Unboxing Review

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

The new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) was released earlier today and if you were able to checkout, prepare for something massive. I received my review copy on Monday and have been building it for the past few days. I’m 10.5 hours in and I’m only currently up to bags numbered 7 out of 17 so this will be a daunting task. Since it’s so large, I’m going to try to break up the review into several parts. Here’s a quick unboxing of this beauty of a set.

As you saw from the official images, the box is huge. Forgive my crudeness of the images but my photography studio isn’t big enough to support the box and most likely won’t fit the Falcon after it’s been completed.

The front of the box shows the Falcon in all its glory and the back of the box shows some of the features of the set including the interchangeable sensor dishes.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

On one side of the box, you have a little a little blurb about the Millennium Falcon in various languages. There’s also a couple of stickers with a crossed out knife meaning not to open from this end.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

On the opposite side of the box, you have a very nice looking blueprint as well as a line of the minifigures that are included with the set.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

When you open up the box, you are greeted with a large sprial bound instruction manual that sits on top of a cardboard so it won’t get crushed during transit. … Continue

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Limited Edition Black VIP Card

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) VIP Card

When the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) was announced last week, some fans were wondering if there was anything exclusive that was included with the set. The first edition of the original 10179 Millennium Falcon included a Certificate of Authenticity which was signed by former LEGO president Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Product Designer Jens Kronvold Frederiksen.

We haven’t heard anything about anything exclusive during the press release but it looks like Zusammengebaut has gotten some new information about something that will be included. If you saw my post of the brochure, the back of it shows a black LEGO VIP card which might have been a hint. According to a German Shop@Home ad, it seems that fans who are buying the set at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home when it is officially released on September 14 for Early Access will also get a limited edition VIP card.

Whether that same promotion carries over to here in the US remains to be seen. I also wonder if there’s anything special printed on the back of the card or if it’s just a regular VIP card that we can use. We’ll just have to wait for our LEGO email or until the Shop@Home is updated to see if we get the same thing as our friends in Germany.

Update: I’ve been told that it will indeed be available here in the US. It is available to the customers who purchase the UCS Millennium Falcon until the end of 2017 and it will be mailed to … Continue

The LEGO Group Releases 2017 Half Year Results, Profits Down

LEGO has just released their financial details for the first half of 2017 and it’s not looking too good for the best toy brand in the world. Compared to the same time as last year:

– Revenue down 5 percent to DKK 14.9 billion compared with DKK 15.7 billion
– Operating profit down 6 percent to DKK 4.4 billion compared with DKK 4.7 billion
– Net profit down 3 percent at DKK 3.4 billion compared with DKK 3.5 billion
– Cash flow from operating activities was DKK 4.6 billion compared with DKK 3.9 billion

LEGO Group Chairman, Jørgen Vig Knudstorp stated,

We are disappointed by the decline in revenue in our established markets, and we have taken steps to address this.

We are working closely with our partners and we are confident that we have the long-term potential of reaching more children in our well-established markets in Europe and the United States. We also see strong growth opportunities in growing markets such as China.

Some of the best performing themes for 2017 include LEGO City, LEGO Friends, LEGO DUPLO, and LEGO Technic, all in-house IPs. The LEGO Batman Movie also did very well.

As a result of the profit decline, the company will have to trim its total global workforce by about eight percent which is about 1,400 jobs by the end of the year.

The LEGO Group will now have to restructure the company as well as having to clean up their inventory to simplify the business model.

What are your thoughts on this surprising … Continue

Rest of LEGO Toys R Us Bricktober 2017 Sets Revealed

Exclusive minifigures at Toys'R'Us

It looks like we have a look at the full line up for the Toys R Us Bricktober 2017 promotion thanks to BrickSamurai. I’ve already talked about the The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939) and the LEGO City Jungle Exploration (5004940) but we can now see the other two sets in the series.

There will be a generic minifigure series that includes a boxer, a hippie, a cheerleader, and a sailor. These minifigure don’t look that special as they are recolors of previous minifigures. The cheerleader looks to be the human form of the Zombie Cheerleader from the Series 14 Monsters Collectible Minifigures. This is listed as set #4 for of the series.

The other set based on LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu and not on The LEGO Ninjago Movie as previously rumored. The minifigures in this set include a white Nendroid, Neuro, Acronix, and Season 4 Rebooted version Kai, confirmed by Simon Lucas. This one is listed as the first set of the series.

Now that we’ve seen all of the Toys R Us Bricktober 2017 sets, the most interesting one is definitely the one for The LEGO Batman Movie. The other sets are fairly bland but the Ninjago one does look somewhat interesting. There’s no word on when Bricktober is here in the US but it’s usually in October so we have a few more weeks before we know the details.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) Available on Amazon

One of the more popular LEGO Star Wars sets that was released during Force Friday II was the brick-built BB-8 (75187). It eventually became temporarily out of stock on Shop@Home and from what I saw, it was flying off the shelves at the LEGO Store an at Toys R Us. Fortunately for you, Amazon still has it available at retail price of $99.99 with Prime shipping.

This faithfully reproduced LEGO® Star Wars incarnation of the diminutive BB-8 droid from the new Star Wars movie trilogy makes the perfect gift for any Star Wars or LEGO fan. Turn one wheel at the side to rotate the detailed head, and another to open the access hatch and extend the ‘welding torch’. This faithfully reproduced model also comes with a display stand, decorative fact plaque and small BB-8 figure, making it a great display piece for any bedroom or office.

Last Day for LEGO Star Wars Force Friday II Promotion

Today is the last day for the LEGO Star Wars Force Friday II promotion at Shop@Home and as of this post, you have less than 12 hours to get your orders in for the promotional items. You’ll still get Double VIP Points on all LEGO Star Wars items and the exclusive UCS Millennium Falcon poster but the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) is now out of stock. Instead with your purchase of $50 or more, you’ll get the Admiral Yularen (5002947) which is left over from the May the 4th promotion in 2015. There’s also a number of sets still on sale but there’s also some sets that’s out of stock or on backorder.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) May Be Extremely Limited at Release

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

The announcement of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) was a pretty exciting event a few days ago but the actual release of the set on September 14 may be one of the most stressful things you will experience while purchasing a LEGO set. I’ve heard from a very trusted source that the set may be extremely limited upon its release, at least at LEGO Brand Stores, so much that you may have to line up early for a chance to get it. When I say early, I mean very early. Think of something like lining up for Hall H for the Marvel panel at San Diego Comic Con. I’ve been talking to some fans and they’re telling me that they will be lining up in the middle of the night to be one of the first people in line when the store opens.

As for online ordering, I expect it to be backstocked then temporarily out of stock in the first few minutes it goes live. I’ve also heard that if you’re lucky to get your order in, the set will be shipped triple boxed so it won’t be damaged during shipping. Even at the $800 price point, I have a feeling that the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) will be more hard to get than the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309).

Of course, this is all hearsay but I trust my source enough to do a dedicated post on it. You may say that this might cause a ruckus but … Continue

Today was the start of the Force Friday II promotion event at LEGO Brand Stores and fans were able to check out the newly announced LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which was on display. They were also handing out some swanky collectible brochures for the set as well.

The tri-fold brochure is made from some high quality paper that has a premium feel to it. There are parts of the images that have that uses the glossy material as well. The front of it shows the Millennium Falcon in all its glory while the back shows a VIP card with a blurb that says you can buy it 16 days before the general release. I’ll get more on that in a separate post.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Not Being Retired Soon

As we all know by now, the availability of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) has been sporadic since its release since June. We’ve seen spurts of it going back on Shop@Home and on Amazon then going temporarily out of stock again shortly after. Back in July, there was an update saying that production would run through 2018 so we shouldn’t worry that much.

A month goes by and there’s now a new rumor going around that it has been retired from production. Hasan Jensen from the LEGO Ideas team, this time on the LEGO Ambassador Network, has reiterated that,

The LEGO Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set has NOT been retired and will not be retiring anytime soon either, as we wish to offer the chance for many more fans to get the opportunity to purchase a copy of the set.

This is another reassurance for fans who still want to pick up the set and just be patient on it as I’m sure LEGO is frantically trying to produce more as we speak. I feel that LEGO has learned its lesson on producing limited quantity sets such as the NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) and the Research Institute (21110) as this set is equally, if not more, popular than the previous ones. You can check out Hasan’s full statement below and I’ll update if the Saturn V is back in stock, even for a short time.

It has come to our attention that rumours have again surfaced claiming that

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) Officially Announced

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

After much rumors and speculation for the past few years, LEGO has officially announced the newest LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set with the updated Millennium Falcon (75192). This set has been teased for the past month and we can now finally talk about the highly anticipated set.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

As stated in the teaser last week, the UCS Millennium Falcon will have a whopping 7,541 which makes it the largest set in terms of piece count dwarfing the previous record holder of the LEGO Taj Mahal (10189) which came in at 5,922 pieces.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

Not surprisingly, you would expect a set this massive would be somewhat pricey and it’s no chump change. The new UCS Millennium Falcon will retail for $799.99/CA $899.99/£649.99. It will be available starting September 14 for VIP Early Access and October 1 for the general release.

On to the features of the ship, as my rumor post from the beginning of the year, the Millennium Falcon will include details from the Original Trilogy as well as the from the newer Episode VII and upcoming Episode VIII films. This includes two sets of minifigures as well as the interchangeable antenna.

Check out the official press release, designer video, and additional photos below of the new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192).


75192 Millennium Falcon™

Ages 16+. 7,541 pieces.

The LEGO Batman Movie Bricktober 2017 Set Revealed

The LEGO Batman Movie Bricktober 2017 (5004939)

Traditionally, Toys R Us has been releasing exclusive minifigure sets for their annual Bricktober celebration and it looks like we know what this year’s set will be. PromoBricks has found out that we will be getting one for The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939). There are four different minifigures included but the one that stands out for me is the Easter Bunny Batman which I’ve been waiting on for a while. As shown on the top of the box, this set is the second of four sets that will be available.

There’s no word yet on how to get it during Bricktober but usually it’s with a certain dollar amount purchase, most likely at $75 or more. If there are any left over from the promotional period, they are sold by themselves.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) Polybag Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

From September 4-21, LEGO will be having a The LEGO Ninjago Movie promotion in which you can get a free Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag with a purchase of $35 or more. I got the 60 piece polybag during TLNM panel at San Diego Comic Con 2017 but I was holding off on reviewing it until I got another one since that one is kind of exclusive with the labels on the polybag.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

The build is pretty straight-forward and it uses a lot of the smaller ball joint pieces for the head, body, legs, and tail. The dragon itself is smaller than your standard minifigure but it is long. Like with its larger counterpart, it can be displayed in a number of poses due to it having the ball joint pieces. Some interesting parts useage include a pearl-gold bucket handle for the horns and a sai for the tip of the tail.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

There are some things that look kind of off as well. First is the blue eyes. In the larger version, the eyes are actually green. Another thing that bugs me a little more are the feet. I wished that LEGO would have used the modified 1×1 tooth piece instead since it would’ve worked better.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428)

Overall, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Mini Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag isn’t the most glamorous polybag out there but it’s a decent one and fairly easy to obtain. Again, it will be available for a majority of September with a $35 purchase.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is Bigger Than Largest LEGO Shopping Bag

LEGO Star Wars

LEGO has revealed another teaser today for the supposed LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). The UCS Death Star can fit in the largest LEGO shopping bag but this mystery set won’t be able to and may need some help taking it to the car.

We’ve already had a few teasers already with a pretty big one last week when they said that this set would have 7,541 pieces. We’re inching closer to the official reveal on Force Friday II this week so there’s something very exciting coming soon.

LEGO Ideas NASA Space Shuttle Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The NASA Space Shuttle (Saturn V Scale) by KingsKnight is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Continuing with the hype of space type projects on LEGO Ideas, the project is a representation of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. It proposed the shuttle itself along with the rocket boosters and the external tank which are both removable. It also has the robotic arm that comes out of the shuttle as well. The set is built to the same scale as the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309).

The NASA Space Shuttle now joins Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner, Wonders of Peru, NF-15B Research Aircraft, and I Am Your Father as the projects to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

LEGO Harry Potter Coming Back in 2018?

There are some very interesting rumors coming out of Eurobricks of a theme that has sort of ended but may be coming back in 2018. The reliable Sir von Lego has said that LEGO Harry Potter will be sets coming next year and there’s also a hint from rob-ot5000 saying there might also be a Collectible Minifigure Series coming out of Harry Potter as well. There was also mentioning of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter but how that ties in to this whole thread remains a mystery. It is worth noting that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter encapsulates everything from the films and the books by J.K. Rowling and Fantastic Beasts 2 will be coming out next year as well so there might be sets and/or minifigures for both the original Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts.

The return of LEGO Harry Potter is some very exciting news since the last time we had official LEGO sets, besides LEGO Dimensions, was in 2011 which is the time I returned to LEGO. Keep in mind that these are just rumors and are not confirmed until LEGO announces it.

If you’re collecting The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, there’s another polybag that has been found in the wild here in the US. The Quake Mech (30379) polybag was found at Walmart stores and they were located in an aisle display. No word on pricing but I assume they were $3.97 each.

At the beginning of the month, I reported that there was a new LEGO Architecture set based on the LEGO House (21037) as what it looks like in Billund, Denmark. There are now official images of the set which came from the LEGO Architecture website but was eventually taken down. The building instructions for the set have also been readily available as well.

LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037)

As far as I know, the new LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) will be available in September at the LEGO House shop itself. I don’t believe that it’ll be available worldwide which is a shame as it is a great looking set.

LEGOLAND California

Earlier today, I was invited to LEGOLAND California for some big announcements for the park coming in 2018. The main attraction announced was the LEGO City: Deep Sea Adventure which is slated to open summer 2018.

LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176)

Next week is Force Friday II for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and LEGO will be having some promotions going on for it. One of these promos is the exclusive LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) minifigure polybag with a purchase of $50 or more.

Minifigure

The Scarif Stormtrooper, also known as a shoretrooper, is exclusive to this set as it is different from the one in the TIE Striker (75154) and the Battle on Scarif (75171). He has on a tan armor with a sand blue stripe that goes across the top. Both of the arms are also sand blue. The legs are also tan with some brown on the upper half. He also wears a dark blue kama around the waist to signify that he is a squad leader. His accessory is a blaster rifle.

Stand

Continuing with this series of minifigure polybags, the Scarif Stormtrooper also comes with a stand. The build is the exact same as R3-M2 as it uses a black 3×4 plate to stand the minifigure on. It also has a Technic pin to connect to R3-M2’s stand.

LEGO Releases Video of Mystery LEGO Star Wars Set

LEGO Star Wars

LEGO has revealed yet another cryptic tweet, in the form of a video, of a big LEGO Star Wars that is coming October 1. This time it is a video showing a debris of bricks as a set is being assembled and eagle-eyed readers can probably figure out what it is. You can even see BB-8 flying through the debris of bricks.

This is the third teaser of a mystery set following the box and instruction booklet from previous weeks.

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268) Polybag Review

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268)

Way back in January, it was revealed that there was a new LEGO Star Wars polybag with R3-M2 (40268). It had a little stand with a backing that is different from your standard minifigure polybags. There was little to no detail on its availability except for it showing up at LEGOLAND California back in March and a recently showing up at Toys R Us.

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268)

I was able to purchase it for $5.99 online before the page was taken down. It was also reported that they can be found in store but they do have a street date of August 26. You may get lucky and be able to purchase it but there’s a high chance that you won’t be able to purchase until then.

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268)


Minifigure

R3-M2 is a very obscure astromech droid that has only appeared shortly in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The body has your typical LEGO droid pattern with the main notable differences being the large bold stripes as well as the brown and tan coloring. The back of the torso and both legs have no printing at all however according to the one in The Disney Collection 2016 Droid Factory 4-Pack, R3-M2 is supposed to have a brown stripe going down the back. The dome is trans-black with a silver ring at the base with some brown panels throughout.

The LEGO Group Appoints Niels B. Christiansen as New CEO

Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that the Board of Directors has appointed Niels B. Christiansen as the new CEO of the company. Christiansen replaces Bali Padda who took over at the beginning of the year. Read the full press release below.

The LEGO Group today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Niels B. Christiansen, 51, as CEO of the LEGO Group effective October 1, 2017.

Christiansen was most recently CEO of global industrial technology company, Danfoss, a position he held for nine years until end of June 2017. Christiansen replaces Bali Padda, 61, a long-standing LEGO Group executive, who will assume a special advisory role with LEGO Brand Group.

Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, Executive Chairman of LEGO Brand Group said, ‘Niels is a great leader who delivered outstanding results while CEO of Danfoss.

The Board is confident that under Niels, the LEGO Group will continue to flourish and bring play experiences to more children around the world.’ Knudstorp said the transition to a new CEO occurred more rapidly than the Board had anticipated.

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) Review

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

In recent years, LEGO has released some peculiar standalone sets featuring some past minifigures. It started off with the Iconic Easter (5004468) set with the Chicken Suit Guy then last year with the Gingerbread Man (5005156). Starting tomorrow, LEGO kicks off a new promotion that runs until the end of August which will feature the Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936). You can get it for free with a purchase of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

The packaging is fairly interesting. Throughout the whole box, there are various things that are carved into the stone wall including a minifigure blueprint on the back. Also on the back is a lost poster of their supposed pet dinosaur. The door is perforated and it opens to reveal the Caveman and Cavewoman.

The Caveman was first introduced in the Series 1 Collectible Minifigures (8683). For this version, he has a pelt outfit that is more brown than before but unfortunately like before, there is no back printing. He has the same head with the bushy eyebrows and large smile. His hair/beard piece, however, is different with the new Caveman having a dark brown piece. His accessory is a dark brown club.

LEGO Releases Image of Mystery Instruction Booklet

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Alphabet Translator

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Alphabet

If you’ve been collecting The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, you’d probably have noticed some strange symbols throughout the sets. This is actually the language of Ninjago and LEGO has been doing some things for fans to help decipher the symbols.

If you’re near a LEGO Brand Store, some of them have been giving out a promotional handout which includes a translator for each of the letters of the alphabet. If you’re not near a store, LEGO has also provided an online version of it (http://www.ninjagolanguagetranslator.com/). Here you have a QWERTY keyboard layout for the symbols but there is also a row for the numbers as well which the physical copy does not have.

I do appreciate LEGO releasing a Ninjago language translator especially for younger fans and now everyone can decode what everything says in the sets.

Give More Articulation to The LEGO Ninjago Movie Fire Mech (70615)

kaifiremechmod06

A few days ago, I did a review on the new The LEGO Ninjago Movie Fire Mech (70615) and one of the major complaints I had with it was there was no knee joints. Chubbybots over on Flickr saw more changes that they could make to the build to make it more articulated including changes to the knees, ankles, arms, and waist. They’ve even posted a video to show you how you can make changes to your Fire Mech as well.

Major LEGO Mistake in It Trailer

Here’s a little Sunday funday kind of post to start off the week. The new trailer for the remake of the classic film It dropped recently and there’s something LEGO related in it that may trigger fans. Eagle-eyed fan Nathan Wells found a mistake that made even producer Seth Grahame-Smith say they’re cancelling the release until further notice.

In the trailer, a LEGO model made of lime-green parts was dropped and if you look at it closely, there’s a 2×2 lime-green roof tile that can be seen. Unfortunately, the movie takes place in 1989 while the part wasn’t released until 2010. Obviously, this is an oversight of major proportions and we demand that director Andrés Muschietti reshoot the scene with correct LEGO parts used!

Clearly, I’m joking but it’s really it’s neat to see that there are fans with vast knowledge of LEGO even in a minute scale. As LEGO gets bigger and bigger, it’s also cool to see that more LEGO has been implemented into recent movies and TV shows with the latest one being the Death Star in Spider-Man: Homecoming and I hope to see more in the future.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are now available and there are also a number of polybags that you can find as well. One of these polybags is the Ice Tank (30427) which is currently available at Target stores for $3.49 each.

The 71 piece polybag is a basically a miniature version of the regular 70616 Ice Tank which I’ve already reviewed. This smaller one has all of the defining features of the Ice Tank like the cockpit and the ice cannon in the front, the panels in the middle, the treads on the wheels, and the ice container in the back.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

I do like the use of the small chain links for the treads as they were previously only used for LEGO Technic sets. I will say they do not roll well on smooth surfaces but they do work great on carpet or fabric surfaces.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

Overall, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) is a neat little model if you’re a MOC fodder, the chain links themselves are almost worth the price of the polybag itself. As mentioned before, the polybag can be found at Target and I found mine at the checkout lanes.

Rumored LEGO Anniversary Sets Coming in 2018

There will be lots of LEGO anniversaries coming up for 2018 including the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and it looks like we will be getting some special anniversary sets to celebrate it.

They also stated that the Classic box will look like the shape of a brick. LEGO is known for releasing anniversary type sets in the past and it’ll be exciting to see what we’ll be getting next year.

LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) Image Found

LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037)

The LEGO House in Billund opens on September 28, 2017 and to commemorate the opening, there will be a LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) set coming out for it. One thing I will say about it is that it looks really good and it is color coordinated to show the different zones in the LEGO House. There’s no information on piece count, price point, or if it will be available worldwide as a regular set or not however the building instructions are now available if you want to build your own.

Update: Counting up the parts inventory, there are 774 pieces in this set, not including any extra small parts.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Hidden in Teaser Post?

LEGO Mystery Set

Yesterday, LEGO did a teaser post for a new set that is releasing soon which will come in a box 4.86 times larger than the LEGO Creator London Bus box. Some Photoshop experts over on Reddit have done some x-ray editing on the image and have found out something really peculiar about it. They have actually found out that there is indeed a set inside the wrapper. As you can see from the image below (click to expand), you can clearly see the LEGO logo at the corner and you can faintly see what appears to be the cockpit for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192).

I know fans have been waiting for an updated UCS Millennium Falcon for a long time and it looks like that dream may be coming true. LEGO has been dropping hints for many months now from shadowed outline on boxes to past designer videos but LEGO should be announcing something very soon as there is a VIP early access set starting on September 14.

LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451) Now Available Worldwide

LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451)

Last year, I reported on the LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451) which was only available locally in Panama. Yesterday I’ve received an email from Juan from the marketing team at the Panama STEM website saying the set can now be purchased and shipped anywhere in the world.

It’ll still go for $249.95 but it has free Priority Mail International shipping to the US. They also ship worldwide using DHL. It’s not a bad price but if you’re a collector of these kinds of exclusive sets, it’s cheaper than what you would find on eBay.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow SDCC 2017 Vixen Review

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

On two separate days at San Diego Comic Con 2017, LEGO was giving away to attendees an exclusive LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen. If you’re not a fan of the show, you may be wondering who this character is. There are actually two versions of the character in the Arrowverse with this one being Mari’s grandmother. Like with previous exclusive SDCC LEGO minifigures, she comes in a clamshell with a backing card.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

Vixen wears a dark brown outfit with some tan armor printing. There’s also printing of the Anansi Totem necklace that goes around her neck. The legs also have some more detail printing including the knee armor. Her double-sided head piece is nouget colored with a normal expression on one side and a smirk on the other. Her hair piece is brown with a braid in the back.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen minifigure is a pretty obscure character for those who aren’t familiar with the show. This also marks the second SDCC minifigure in a row for Legends of Tomorrow joining Atom from last year. Will we continue this trend of seeing more LoT minifigures at SDCC or will we be seeing other DC properties? We shall see in less than a year. Admittedly, Vixen isn’t as popular as the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck but she was popular enough for people to line up hours before the raffle started for a chance to get her.

LEGO Ninjago Showrunner Responds to Concerns for Season 8

LEGO NInjago Sons of Garmadon

Yesterday was the LEGO Ninjago TV series panel at SDCC 2017 and attendees were able to see a short clip of the Season 8 Sons of Garmadon. While I was live-tweeting, some fans had more questions that were answered at the panel while others were somewhat skeptical of what to expect. Showrunner Tommy Andreasen has taken to Twitter to give a response on some of the feedback. Here’s the transcribed version.

Hi All!

Thank you all for your responses to our season 8 sneak peak, revealed at San Diego Comic Con. Some of you have asked some questions or expressed concerns, so here is a response which hopefully will address most of them.

Season 8 of Ninjago is scheduled to come out in 2018. Though it may not be evident from the opening scene revealed at Comic Con, it is indeed the continuation of the TV series story line. It has been specifically written with a keen eye on what long time fans of the series have expressed desire to know more about.

One of Ninjago’s key strengths has always been it’s ability to change. We want each season to feel unique, and the show has a long history of twisting plots, structure and taking daring chances.

Several characters like Zane and Cole has had major updates during the series long run. Usually these changes happen within the episodes. This time however since time has passed since the end o Hands of Time, the changes are simply there. Where it may raise questions as you first

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck Review

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

It wasn’t announced until Preview Night of San Diego Comic Con 2017 but I have managed to get the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck. He is basically what happens when Deadpool is combined with Howard the Duck which was first introduced in a five issue miniseries at the beginning of the year. The clamshell that Deadpool Duck uses is the same one as before in previous years. The backing is just a two-sided one with the back promoting LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

The torso is a new one with updated printing. There are now straps that go around the shoulders and around the back. There’s also some brown pouches around the waist as well. The Deadpool buckle is a little bit larger. The legs are of the short variety as he is a duck. The head gets a makeover which uses the Donald and Daisy head mold from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney Series (71012). The head is now painted with the red and black Deadpool mask with one eye squinting.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

Overall, the exclusive SDCC 2017 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck is a great addition to any collection. Considering Deadpool hasn’t appeared in a set since 2013 with the Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown (6866), any variant of him is a good. Unfortunately for fans who weren’t able to attend SDCC, the only way to possibly get it is having really good friends or on the secondary market.

The LEGO Ninjago TV series panel was earlier today at San Diego Comic Con 2017 and there was some new information regarding Season 8. I was also live-tweeting the panel which can check out on Twitter.

The panel consisted of Writers Kevin and Dan Hageman, showrunner Tommy Andreasen, senior creative director Simon Lucas, IP lead Nelson Lamonica, and suprise guest David Shayne. The first thing the panel talked about was last season’s Hands of Time.

The first thing the panel talked about was some of the inner workings of the previous season. They showed off some concept art and talked about what the season was about.

Finally, there was the big question of where Wu is. We’ll find out more in Season 8. One cool thing that was touched on was some kids at last year’s panel gave some suggestions on how Zane got his powers and the Hagemans took those suggestions and we will be seeing them next season.

Bricks on the Dollar Clutch’s Secret Stash

Earlier this month, Bricks on the Dollar launched their own LEGO-themed Monthly Mystery Box. Is the age of Mystery Boxes over? Perhaps. But where other LEGO-themed Mystery Boxes focus on education, knock-offs, or just a scoop of used bricks, Clutch’s Secret Stash promotes the celebration of the LEGO Lifestyle among AFOLs.

Here’s an image of what subscribers received in their first box.

LEGO Unikitty! Theme Song to be Performed by BABYMETAL

LEGO Unikitty!

At the Cartoon Network’s Unikitty! panel at San Diego Comic Con 2017 yesterday, attendees got an exclusive look at the first episode of the show. In an unexpected reveal, Ed Skudder and Aaron Waltke announced that Japanese metal band BABYMETAL will be performing the theme song. This is surprising news and it may help boost the popularity of the new show as Babymetal has quite a large fanbase. As for the episode itself, like I said in my live-tweet of the panel, it was interesting and has potential. I won’t go into detail of what the episode was about as to not spoil it.

Also during the panel, attendees were also given the Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag. There’s no word on availability of it at this time.

LEGO is giving out a very cool LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor: Ragnarok poster at San Diego Comic Con 2017, most likely on accident.

He will also be doing signings at the booth in Saturday from 3-4.

LEGO has given an update to the confusion. Today and Saturday is for Thor: Ragnarok while Friday and Sunday are for Justice League.

San Diego Comic Con 2017 Preview Night kicked off earlier today and as soon as the doors were open, I headed straight to the LEGO booth where it was featuring a lot of The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

Did a LEGO Designer Hint at the Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)?

Here’s something coming out of the Brickset Forums yesterday regarding the highly rumored and anticipated updated LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). I saw it yesterday but there was plenty of San Diego Comic Con 2017 news and planning that I held off on reporting it.

If you’re familiar with the set listings on Brickset, you would sometimes see something called “Bricklist Notes” in which LEGO designers can put notes into sets they have designed to give some information about the creative process. Hans Burkhard Schlömer, who is on the LEGO Star Wars design team, has worked previous sets including the Millennium Falcon (75105) and UCS sets such as the Slave I and the Assault on Hoth (75098) has given an very interesting note on a set that was released this year. In the Republic Fighter Tank (75182) listing, Hans wrote:

Clones need a ride too! I did this set as a quick side-project while working on a much, much, much, much, much, much larger set which is going to be announced on September 1st 2017.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you would know that September 1 is the planned date for Star Wars Force Friday II event for The Last Jedi. I’m not a rocket scientist but that sounds like a big ol’ hint for the Millennium Falcon, doesn’t it? Or it could just be that reported UCS BB-8 (75187) that is supposedly coming as well.

We’ll all see together in about one and a half months when all the new LEGO … Continue

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA December Release Date Revealed?

Back in February, it was announced that the Women of NASA project was approved to be the next LEGO Ideas set and it looks like we may have a release date for it. During Japan Brickfest, there was a presentation from the LEGO Community Engagement Team and during the talk, some of the latest LEGO Ideas sets including the Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, and Women of NASA were shown off. It also showed the release dates of the sets and the Women of NASA is slated to be coming December 1.

Of course, anything can change and that date could be pushed back so until LEGO officially announces the set, I wouldn’t confirm it just yet. We’re also still waiting for the results of the Third 2016 Review Stage which should be announced any time now as they were close to wrapping it up in their last update.

Solidifying the theory that Johnny Thunder is just an unlicensed Indiana Jones, this set begs to ask; were the adventures of the Adventurers actually real or were they all film plots?

There’s no other details but there is a synopsis from CBR.com below.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Availability Update

Even though the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) was just released last month, it has been out of stock pretty much since then and fans have been starting to worry if it would ever come back. There have been sightings of it at various LEGO Brand Stores, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart but that stock has been limited as well. So what’s the deal on it?

Last month, it was stated through an email from LEGO saying that the Saturn V would be in production through 2018 and we now have an official word from Hasan from LEGO Ideas. In his statement, he has stated

We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets

There was no doubt that the set would continued to be produced but some would rather wait for an official statement from LEGO. As Captain America says, be patient and keep checking in on it at LEGO Stores if you’re near one or on B&N and Walmart online. You can read the full statement below.

It has been over a month since the official launch of the LEGO® Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set and the overwhelming popularity of the iconic rocket has unfortunately meant that some LEGO fans have not yet been able to purchase their set or have had to wait longer than they had hoped.

Unfortunately, rumours and speculation have arisen concerning its availability, which we would like to shortly address.

Another Take on LEGO Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Voltron

If you know me well enough, then you would know that I’m a big fan of Voltron: Defender of the Universe. I’ve been collecting Voltron action figures since I was a old enough to know about it from the original lions to the Voltron Vehicle Force (DaiRugger XV).

Since returning to the LEGO community, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with some of the LEGO Voltron MOCs such as the one by len_d69 on LEGO Ideas which is still under consideration to become an official set. The same builder has also created a LEGO version of Voltron Vehicle Force as well.

The newest MOC is by Dennis Qiu and it is equally impressive. This version seems to be based on the Voltron Maquette from Sideshow Collectibles which has their sleeker interpretation of Voltron. One of the more notable differences is the slimmer body that it has compared to the bulkier original version.

Now the only thing I’m pretty much waiting for is the official LEGO Ideas Voltron set to be approved and released.

Exclusive Giveaway at The LEGO Ninjago Movie SDCC 2017 Panel

A few weeks ago, I reported that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be heading to San Diego Comic Con 2017 in just a few short weeks and there’s some more details regarding the standalone panel. On Thursday, July 20, 2017 6:45pm – 7:45pm in Room 6A, the cast and crew for the movie will be on hand to talk about the movie and it looks like there there will be an exclusive giveaway to attendees to the panel according to Cosmic Book News.

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Rumored Sets

Star Wars Force Friday II

I’ve reported on some rumored 2018 sets for various themes already and Sir von Lego is back again with details for LEGO Star Wars.. He has mentioned five by their potential set names along with four unnamed sets for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Tatooine Battle Pack (75198) – Includes two Jawas, Tusken Raider, Astro-Mech, and a vehicle.

General Grievous Combat Speeder (75199) – Includes General Grievous, Mace Windu, and dark blue and grey Combat Speeder.

Yoda’s Hut (75208) – Includes Yoda, Luke, R2-D2.

Boba Fett (75533) – Buildable Figure.

Darth Vader (75534) – Buildable Figure. We already have the 75111 set so it’ll be interesting to see what this one is. Maybe this one is based on Rogue One with the redder eye lens?

There’s also mention of Coleman Trebor in another Battle Pack and Ki-Adi Mundi, possibly in the same set.

The LEGO Batman Movie More Rumored 2018 Sets

The LEGO Batman Movie Bat-Spaceshuttle

Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has been busy giving tidbids of some rumored 2018 LEGO sets and this time, there are details for the third wave of The LEGO Batman Movie. I’ve already talked about two of the sets which are the Bat-Buggy and the Egghead Mech which you can check that out here. The other sets that Sir von Lego talked about are the Justice League Anniversary Party, Harley Quinn’s Attack, and the Bat-Spaceshuttle.

The Justice League Anniversary Party was shown in the movie when Batman and Robin went to the Fortress of Solitude where Superman is partying with the other Justice League members. It was mentioned that it will include Superman, Hawkman, El Dorado, and Wonder Dog. Will we also finally see a set featuring the Fortress of Solitude?

Harley Quinn’s Cannonball Attack is seen in The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie and it includes Harley, Batgirl, a driver, and another character.

Finally, we have a Bat-Spaceshuttle. This set was seen when Robin discovers Batman’s lair as seen in the image above. It includes three versions of Batman and two for Robin.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Black Panther & Avengers: Infinity War Details

There are some more LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2018 news regarding some of the upcoming movie tie-in sets. According to Sir von Lego on Eurobricks, we will be getting two Black Panther sets and a whopping six for Avengers: Infinity War.

We’ve already seen a Black Panther minifigure from the Black Panther Pursuit (76047) from Civil War last year so hopefully we’ll see an updated outfit. We’ll also most likely see a Erik Killmonger minifigure and one for Ulysses Klaue as well.

As for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War sets, I’m surprised there are that many that tie-in sets. Considering there are a plethora of characters in the movie, I’m sure they will be spread out into all the sets with hopefully no duplicates. Also, since there are six Infinity Gems/Stones, I’m hoping one is included in every set which makes sense.

What are you looking forward to seeing in the LEGO Black Panther and Infinity Wars sets? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Nexo Knights Rumored 2018 Sets

LEGO Nexo Knights

We’ve just passed the first half of the year and it looks like we’re starting to get details of what could be coming out for 2018. Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has reported on some rumored 2018 LEGO Nexo Knights sets. Some may have thought the theme was going to end soon but it doesn’t seem like it now. Keep in mind that these sets aren’t confirmed yet but the OP is known to give correct information in the past.

Lance’s Hiver Jouster (72001)

More LEGO 2017 Promotional Pod Polybags Revealed

LEGO Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914)

Yesterday, there were a lot of LEGO promotion products that were revealed over on Bouwsteenjes and one type of product that were in shown various themes were the pod polybags. The pod polybag was first introduced with the Batman Battle Pod (5004929) from The LEGO Batman Movie and LEGO has expanded the idea to other themes.

I’ve already talked about one for The LEGO Ninjago Movie with Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) but there are also ones for LEGO Nexo Knights and LEGO Friends.

For the LEGO Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), there is a knight minifigure along with a sword and shield as accessories. I do like in front of the pod, you have the Classic Space logo on the badge.

The other pod polybag is the Ski Pod (5004929) for LEGO Friends. The minidoll included in this set is Emma in her ski outfit which appears to be exclusive to this pod. For the accessories, there are some skis, a helmet, and a trophy.

There are no information on when or how you will be able to obtain these LEGO pod polybags at this time but I’ll let you know when the details are available.

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane in the LEGO Archive Vault

A few weeks ago, Josh Hanlon from Beyond the Brick was able to attend LEGO Fan Media Days and he has given LEGO fans a look at something that most of us probably won’t be able to see in real life, the LEGO Archive Vault, aka Memory Lane. It is located under the LEGO Idea House and it contains almost every single LEGO set that has been produced. Attendees of the LEGO Inside Tour are also able to check it out.

LEGO designers and other employees also go down to the Vault to do research or reminisce about their childhood. Since LEGO adds to the Vault every year, that means that they are running out of room and will soon have to move it to another location. You’ll notice that in the beginning of the film, Josh notes that there are already upcoming sets that haven’t been released yet that are already on the shelves which is blocked off.

If you have half a hour to spare, I highly recommend you taking a look at the video as there are lots of cool stuff that were shown off. Did you see sets that you have/had that were from your childhood?

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

It’s never too early for Christmas news and it looks like we have a first look at a new LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934). As you can see from the images, it’s a new concept consisting of 66 pieces which includes small builds like a tricycle, race car, a gift, and a couple of minifigures. You also notice that part of the build comes out from the top of the box. That’s because the box itself is the ornament and it doesn’t look like there’s an actual tree build which is disappointing.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Promotional Products

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai's Dojo Pod (5004916)

Brickset has uploaded official images of some of the promotional products for upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie. There’s no information on how or when these products will be available at this time. We’ll just have to wait and see if they show up on the LEGO Store Calendars or at Toys R Us weekly ads.

First is the Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) which basically is similar to The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929). The difference here is is that it is red with an image of Kai’s mask on the front of the pod and it includes a Kai minifigure in a white dojo outfit. You also get a shelf filled with training accessories as well.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai's Dojo Pod (5004916)


Next up is a Master Wu Keychain (5004915) polybag. He is not exclusive as this minifigure appears in a few of the The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Master Wu Keychain (5004915)


Finally, we have The LEGO Ninjago Movie Movie Maker Polybag (5004394). If you saw my post from earlier today, there’s also a full on Movie Maker Set (853702) and this is a smaller version of it. It appears that this polybag will include a different minifigure than the larger set as this one features Jay in a white training outfit.

LEGO Artist Dan Veesenmeyer at San Diego Comic Con 2017

If you’re heading to San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks, a familiar face in the LEGO community will be returning to Artist Alley. Dan Veesenmeyer will again be attending and he will have some limited edition 8″x11″ prints available for purchase for $10 each. These prints feature Wonder Woman, Princess Leia, and Spider-Man in their LEGO minifigure forms and are limited to just 40 prints each.

If you’ve already order some commissions from Dan or want to get some of the ones listed above, you can pick them up at Artist Alley Table #EE-21. Dan will also have daily, on-site sketches but those usually fill up very quickly so get there early after the exhibit doors open.

If you’re not familiar with Dan’s work, he has created art for the LEGO Club Magazines, LEGO Marvel Avengers, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, and a new book called LEGO Ninjago: How to Draw Ninja, Villains, and More!, just to name a few. Be sure to follow Dan on Twitter and Instagram to get a behind-the-scenes look at his work.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) Feel Guide

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) will be released in a few weeks but I’ve already gotten a few requests to do my usual feel guide for them. I’ve also made a checklist with some of the feel tips which you can download as a PDF.

As with any feel guides that I put out, experienced collectors may not need it but there are also newcomers and younger collectors who can make use of it.

1. Flashback Garmadon: Since he is one of three Garmadons in this wave, he will have two torsos. To distinguish him from the other ones, feel for the 2×2 tile, hair piece, and camera.

2. Lloyd: He is the other minifigure to have a 2×3 tile. Confirm with the sword and extra hair piece.

3. Kai Kendo: For Kai,I would suggest feeling more for the two sticks, the kendo helmet, and the spiky hair piece.

4. Lloyd Garmadon: This version of Lloyd should be easy to pick out. Feel for the hoodie/hair mold, the bowl, and spoon.

5.Sushi Chef: Some of the notable parts for him are the butcher knife, two 1×1 round sushi tiles, 1×1 round brick, and the bald head piece.

6. Cole: The easiest thing for Cole is his boombox.

7. Zane: His backpack should be one of the things to feel for. Confirm with his flat hair piece.

8. Master Wu: He should be one of the easier … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie: Garmageddon Attacks! Activity Book

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Garmageddon Attacks!

There will be a new The LEGO Ninjago Movie Activity Book called Garmadon Attack! coming out soon and included is an exclusive Cole minifigure. This version of him he has on a white training outfit does not not appear in any other set. These activity books are mainly for younger kids but for collectors, the majority of the value is in the minifigure itself.

You can currently pre-order The LEGO Ninjago Movie: Garmadon Attack! on Amazon for $8.99 with the release date on August 1.

An activity book with minifigure based on The LEGO(R) NINJAGO(R) Movie(TM) featuring a buildable Cole minifigure! Includes a mix of comics, puzzles, and activities that fans will love.

LEGO Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

Yesterday, I reported on the August 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and the main promotion of the month is the Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) minifigures. It will be available August 10-31 with a purchase of $50 or more, while supplies last.

If you’ve collecting the Collectible Minifigures since the beginning, you’ll notice that the new minifigures look similar to the ones released previously. The Caveman was from Series 1 (8683) while the Cavewoman was from Series 5 (8805). The only difference with the new ones are the colors for the printing on the torsos, legs, and the hair pieces so this technically makes them exclusive to this set.

The packaging for the double minifigures has some designs for the rock home and the wooden door which opens to reveal the minifigures. The Caveman & Cavewoman is the third “Iconic” set that LEGO will be releasing with the first one being the Chicken Suit Guy in the Iconic Easter (5004468) and the other with the Gingerbread Man (5005156) from last year.

That will be under speculation until that is confirmed by a box opening which includes the minifigure distribution.

LEGO has also released the group image of the Ninjago Collectible Minifigures that we’re used to seeing. Which one(s) are you looking for to getting?

I’ve been told by a pretty reliable source that a variety of direct-to-consumer LEGO sets are now retiring soon even though they’re not listed online.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Poster

USA Today has released some new The LEGO Ninjago Movie character posters as well as backstory descriptions for each of the main characters in the movie.


The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd

Lloyd, the Green Ninja: As the legendary Green Ninja, Lloyd is a Master Builder and the leader of a secret ninja force protecting Ninjago City from the most notorious villain of all time: Lord Garmadon. Crowds cheer the Green Ninja as a hero, but when he takes off his mask they only see him as Lloyd, the boy unfortunate enough to be Garmadon’s son. It’s hard for him to make friends or get through a day at school because Garmadon ruins everything. Still, Lloyd yearns to have a real relationship with his dad.


The LEGO Ninjago Movie Garmadon

Lord Garmadon, the Worst Guy: The baddest warlord of all time, Lord Garmadon has glowing red eyes, sharp teeth, horns, and four arms. Has an affinity for sharks. Lord Garmadon can smell fear, but everyone around him can see it because wherever he goes people flee in panic. Impatient, impulsive and completely self-absorbed, he likes to make a point by firing his generals….from a volcano. Though he hasn’t been successful yet, Lord Garmadon never stops trying to take over NINJAGO City. But why? Could it be he needs to reconnect with the son he hardly knows?

LEGO Ninjago Coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017

Yesterday I reported that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017 and it looks like the LEGO Ninjago animated TV show will also be coming as well. Dan and Kevin Hageman over on Twitter has confirmed that the show will be holding their own panel, similar to previous years.

As to what the LEGO Ninjago panel will be about, that’s up to anyone’s speculation. My guess is that it will focus on the storyline from the animated series and the impact the end of the Hands of Time arc has on the Ninjas.

There’s no word yet on when the LEGO Ninjago panel at SDCC will be but we’ll have more details when the schedules come out in the next few weeks.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Poster

San Diego Comic Con 2017 news is in full swing especially for the LEGO-related things. Warner Bros. will have their usual panel in Hall H and it appears that the cast and crew of The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be hand to discuss the film. Chris McKay has confirmed they will be there but didn’t say to what extent.

Most likely, some or all of the cast including Jackie Chan, Justin Theroux, Dave Franco, Olivia Munn, Michael Peña, Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Abbi Jacobson, and Zach Woods could be on hand to talk about the movie as well.

Depending on my schedule, I may or may not be able to attend the Hall H panel but I’ll definitely report on it when information is available. Hopefully there’s new details of The LEGO Ninjago Movie and a new trailer would be nice as well.

i-Brix Wireless LEGO Lighting System Back on Kickstarter

Back in 2015, Dustin from i-Brix launched a Kickstarter campaign which was supposed to be the industry’s first wireless lighting system to be used with LEGO. Unfortunately, the campaign failed as it did not meet its goal.

After two years with additional research and development, i-Brix is now back on Kickstarter with a lower goal threshold. If you haven’t heard of i-Brix before, it uses a 1×1 i-Brix that connects to regular LEGO bricks and power is conducted through the included Power Plate.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) Review

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

Earlier this month, LEGO had a promotion for the Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) with purchases of $35 or more. Here’s a little short review of the set with something special at the end.


Packaging

The box that the Minifigure Travel Pack comes in has the design of a suitcase with printing of stickers throughout. Inside the box, there’s more printing of various LEGO elements that people may take on a trip.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

The items inside the box include the instructions in the form of a passport, a bag of parts, and some signs.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)


Minifigure

There’s one minifigure included with this set and he’s nothing too special. The torso features the spaceman printing and green arms. It has been used before in previous sets but it’s still cool to get that particular one. The legs are medium blue and the cap that he wears is lime green.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)


Builds

There are lots of little builds that are in the set such as a beach chair with an umbrella, a mini sandcastle, a barbeque, and a camera on a tripod. There’s also a surfboard, a whip used as a fishing rod, some scuba gear, suitcase, and ice cream cone.

The idea of the set is to use these builds along with the minifigure and take picutres of them in various locations. In the back of the instructions, there are some images of the set at different locales.

The LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) isn’t your typical promotional set as June is sort of a travel month for LEGO promos. … Continue

For extra fun, play as Chunk and use his infamous Truffle Shuffle. Hop on to One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship when you need a ride or play the Skeleton Organ to make your way out of the caves.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City (70620) Concept Art

The LEGO Ninjago Movie NINJAGO City (70620)

Earlier today, the new Ninjago City (70620) direct-to-consumer set was revealed for The LEGO Ninjago Movie and Yahoo had an exclusive first look at the set. They’ve also released some concept art of how to set came to be which shows some of the detailing of what will be included in Ninjago City. If you didn’t see it yet, Ninjago City will have 4,867 pieces and will retail at $299.99 with availability starting on September 1.

Designers Nicolaas Vás and Christopher Leslie Stamp gives us some additional insight on how they created this massive set.

To capture the scope of Ninjago City, we split the model into three sections, each representing a different chapter of the city’s evolution. However, this led to the challenge of blending the levels together into a complete model. For example, we positioned the tower further back on the model, to give the impression of it rising from behind the buildings.

In the movie, Ninjago City is unlike anything we’ve seen before in a Lego set. One of the main challenges with a model like this is the difference in size between the vast on-screen location and the smaller model version.

As both [the movie’s set and the toy model] are built from Lego bricks, our approach was to choose key silhouettes and details which could be rebuilt at a smaller scale and still match the overall look [of the film].

My favorite part of designing this model was the opportunity to include things which we wouldn’t normally have in a Ninjago

LEGO Canvas Tote Bag Review

LEGO Canvas Tote Bag

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will be starting a new promotion until the end of the month for an exclusive Canvas Tote Bag. You can get it for free with purchases of $199 or more in LEGO Stores.

For the Canvas Tote Bag itself, it’s your typical full-sized, creme/white colored bag with the LEGO logo branding on one side. The material used for the logo seems to be a decent quality and should be able to withstand multiple uses.

For the compartments, you have the main one which is quite large for normal items like books or a laptop. I was able to fit TLBM Batwing box into it but that is about as much as you can fit into it if you are using it to buy more LEGO. There is also a smaller pocket where the LEGO logo is.

Overall, the new LEGO Canvas Tote Bag is the largest promotional giveaways I’ve seen since coming back to LEGO. The main deterrent is not the bag itself but the high qualifying purchase you have to make to get it. The last tote bag that LEGO released was back in 2011 so it’s nice to see another gear item. Again, it will only be available at LEGO Stores starting on June 15-30 while supplies last. Thank you to the LEGO Affiliate Team for sending this item in.

Update: It looks like LEGO is offering the Canvas Tote Bag on Shop@Home when you make a purchase of $199 or more. To redeem the offer, enter the code JUNE at … Continue

BrickLink Mosaick Hits Open Beta

BrickLink Mosaick

BrickLink has rolled out the open beta for their newest feature called Mosaick. It is basically a tool to allow anyone to turn an image into a digital LEGO mosaic. This also allows users to adjust resolution and size to their preference and price points.

After you upload an image, Mosaick gives you a number of options for shape, size (5x5in.-60x60in.), color, and part type (plate, tile, brick). It also gives you an estimated price as well as a parts list to show which elements are need to recreate a particular image. I did a mosaic of my logo to see how it looks and it seems to be running pretty smoothly.

LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258) Rumored for July VIP Release

If you saw my post about the July 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, VIPs will be getting early access to an exclusive set and it looks like we may know what it is. Hoth Bricks is reporting that the D2C set will be the LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258). The bus will be a larger version of the London Bus (40220) which we got last year.

If this rumor is true, it continues a trend of having regular sets as well as a smaller promotion set of the same vehicle. We first saw this with the Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220) with the mini 40079 set then with the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) with the smaller 40252 version.

If the LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258) is indeed coming out in July for VIPs, we should expect official images and the designer video in the next few weeks.

Update: The LEGO Creator London Bus (10258) has been officially announced. You can check out the details in my other post.

The LEGO Group Continues Partnership With WWF to Reduce CO2 Emissions

A few days ago, The LEGO Group announced that it is extending their partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It is an effort to reduce CO2 emissions with their manufacturing and supply chain operations by 2020. The partnership with WWF is to also promote global action on climate change.

LEGO joined with WWF’s Climate Savers Programme in 2014 and has since exceeded all it’s climate targets including:

– Balancing 100% of energy use with renewable sources through investing DKK 6 billion in two offshore wind farms
– Research and development of more sustainable materials
– Improving energy efficiency of producing LEGO bricks by more than 12%

The continued partnership with WWF by TLG has committed to the following by 2020:

– A further 10% increase in carbon (CO2) efficiency per LEGO brick produced
– Continuing to ensure 100% of energy consumption is balanced by production of renewable energy sources
– Further engaging with key suppliers to reduce the CO2 emissions in the full supply chain

You can read more about The LEGO Group’s continued partnership with WWF in the link above.

LEGO Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash Blu-Ray

LEGO Scooby-Doo Blowout Beach Bash

There will be a new LEGO Scooby-Doo! original movie coming out on on Blu-Ray/DVD next month called LEGO Scooby-Doo!: Blowout Beach Bash. It doesn’t look like there will be an exclusive minifigure included like the previous movie (Haunted Hollywood) but the Blu-Ray itself contains some of the original Scooby-Doo cartoon episodes including Go Away Ghost Ship, A Clue for Scooby-Doo, and Party Like It’s 1899.

The movie will be available starting July 25.

Scooby-Doo! and his pals Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy are no strangers to solving spooky mysteries filled with all types of ghouls and goblins. This time is no different. As Scooby-Doo! and his friends are on their way to Blowout Beach for a real swinging beach party in the Mystery Machine, the Ghost Pirates threaten to ruin the gang’s good vibes. It is up to Scooby and the gang to get the party back on track, without missing a beat.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) in Production Through 2018

The new LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) is a very hot commodity at the moment and you’ll be lucky if you are able to find it available in stores. It’s so sought after at this time that LEGO Shop@Home has it out of stock for the time being with no estimated return date. Other retailers like Barnes and Noble may have it but your mileage may vary. Fans who are desperate for the set have resorted going to the secondary market however I would advise not going that route.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I believe LEGO has learned from the past in releasing limited sets, like the Research Institute (21110), especially for a theme like LEGO Ideas which has fans from all over, even those who are not traditional LEGO fans. In a recent post on Reddit, a user has gotten confirmation from LEGO that production of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) will continue production for at least through 2018. This isn’t shocking news but it does reassure people that there will be more of the sets coming.

The moral of the story is to be patient and don’t pay scalper prices for something that will be coming back in the near future.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929)

It finally looks like the US will be getting The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929) in a wider release. A reader has sent in an image of the polybag set out in a New Jersey Toys R Us. We’re still not sure of the official release date of it at TRU as they had to key it in but it rang up for $5.99 each.

If you remember from earlier this week, LEGOLAND California also has a promotion going for the Batman Battle Pod so it appears that LEGO will be finally releasing it here in the US. The item number 740399 and the SKU is 673419269292.

There’s still no word on whether TRU will be the only retailer having it available or if Shop@Home or other outlets will have them as well. Be on the lookout at your local Toys R Us to see if they have it at your store. Thanks to Todd for emailing this in.

Update: I’ve been told that it will officially be available at TRU starting on Sunday. We’ll see what sort of promo it goes with when the weekly ad comes out in a few days. Thanks to Peter for this info.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Rumored 2018 Sets

This is not unexpected but it looks like there will be LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets coming next year to coincide with the movie premiering in theaters. LEGO has been releasing sets for every movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with The Avengers up to Thor: Ragnarok which comes out in a few months. The only movie that didn’t have a LEGO set tie-in was Thor: The Dark World.

It’ll be interesting to see if Thanos will be a regular minifigure or if he’ll use the same mold as in the Avenjet Space Mission (76049) but recolored. I have a feeling it’ll be the latter since LEGO already has the mold and usually larger characters use bigfigs instead of minifigures.

It is unknown of what the polybag goes with but it is suspected that it could be in a standalone video game for The LEGO Ninjago Movie because there is a code on the corner of the polybag to unlock a character that is similar to previous LEGO video games like LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, LEGO Marvel Avengers, and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

LEGO BrickHeadz Exclusive Wonder Woman Building Event

LEGO BrickHeadz Exclusive Wonder Woman

Whether you saw or didn’t see my post yesterday about the July 2017 Store Calendar, there is a particular promotion that deserves a highlight. From July 1-16, the first 80 people to make a $75 purchase at a LEGO Store are able to register for a 18+ LEGO BrickHeadz building event for an exclusive Wonder Woman. The building event itself will be held from July 17-31 with the definite date varying by store.

This version of Wonder Woman is different from the one in the SDCC 2016 set which was based on the comic book version while this new one will be based on the DC Super Hero Girls one.

Being one of the first 80 people at a store seems like a big task but is achievable if make time to line up early, which a lot of hardcore LEGO fans will do. Even during a big set release day, that is still manageable even after has opened. I went to my store yesterday during the release of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) and I got there 30 minutes after the store opened and I was told there was only about 15-20 people before me so 80 would take roughly about two hours, depending on how popular the store is. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re decided to make a purchase already, this is icing on the top.

LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros Rumored 2018 Sets

It appears that the LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros sets will be continuing in 2018 as Delta Customs has reported on some rumored ones coming for next year.

The first is a Guardians of the Galaxy one with the Milano and another ship. The minifigures included are Star Lord and Nebula and will have a printed 1×2 tile for the Awesome Mixtape.

The other set that is rumored is the Brainiac Skull along with another vehicle and the minifigures in that set are Brainiac and Supergirl. There will be a 1×1 cylinder piece representing the City of Kandor as well.

These are only a couple sets in the wave and I expect there to be a couple more Mighty Micros to go with them.

The LEGO Batman Movie Rumored 2018 Sets

The LEGO Batman Movie Bat Dune Buggy

The summer 2017 LEGO Batman Movie haven’t officially been released on Shop@Home yet but there’s already rumors of some 2018 TLBM sets coming from Delta Customs.

The first set is Batman Dune Buggy which includes minifigures of Batman and Captain Boomerang. The other set is called Egghead’s Food Fight which has Egghead’s mech and also includes Condiment King. It’s interesting that LEGO may be releasing another wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets next year. There has already been talks of another minifigures series for the movie as well.

Note that the images used are not leaked images of the sets as they come from The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie book which I highly recommend as it does give a lot of behind-the-scenes things such as concept art, sketches, and builds. They also might not be the final versions of the rumored sets but at least we have an idea of what they could look like. Some more future sets may also be hidden in plain sight in this book.
