The LEGO Batman Movie Rumored 2018 Sets

May 29, 2017 / / 12 Comments

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.

LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) Polybag Found

May 24, 2017 / / 15 Comments

It looks like there’s a new LEGO Star Wars polybag that has surfaced that goes with the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) from a few months ago which is the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). Like before, the minifigure goes on a little stand with a background. There’s no word on when it will be available. The R3-M2 was available at LEGOLAND California and only recently in the UK and as far as I know, it hasn’t been available through regular channels like Shop@Home or Toys R Us at this time.

LEGO Releases Image of Star Wars Old Luke Skywalker Minifigure

LEGO Star Wars

It looks like the Russian portal for LEGO.com has given our first look at Old Luke Skywalker from the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens heading into Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The image pays tribute to the 40th anniversary of Star Wars and the outfit shown in the image above is similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s from various sets that has been released already with some slight color changes.

There’s no way to know that this version of him will be in an upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi set coming this Force Friday until sets start to be revealed days leading up to the event.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Official Trailer

May 23, 2017 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

The wait is finally over because the official trailer for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has just been released. The trailer gives off a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 feel and it shows Groot and Rocket Raccoon getting into some trouble, as they usually do. It also shows off some new characters including Ego in planet form, Spider-Man Noir, something that appears to be a Sentinel, and a somewhat better look at Kang the Conqueror.

There’s nothing of actual gameplay footage so we’ll have to wait until E3 and San Diego Comic Con for those. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 will be released on November 14 for the PlayStation 4, XBox One, and PC. The Nintendo Switch version will be coming this holiday season.

Update: WB has requested the videos be taken down at this time. I’ll put it back when they release it.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Rumored Pre-Order Minifigure

May 21, 2017 / / 7 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 was just announced last week and the official trailer doesn’t drop for another two days. Fans are already speculating there will be a pre-order bonus to go with the game since almost every recent standalone LEGO game had one before. Easy guesses are Spider-Man 2099 and Spider-Gwen since they are in the center of the cover art. Even Cowboy Captain America is strange enough to be one as well.

From what I am hearing, it won’t be any of the characters listed above but someone very random called Goliath. If you’re a comic book fan, Goliath is actually Hank Pym who was the original Ant-Man. Goliath is created when he used his growing power after he retired Giant-Man.

Although Goliath is a random choice for a minifigure, he is exclusive since we never had one in minifigure form but fans who wanted other characters will have to wait a little longer. Keep in mind that LEGO does not have to include a pre-order minifigure so this is actually a bonus, plus you get another member of the Avengers. Do you think Goliath is a good choice for the exclusive pre-order minifigure for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2?

LEGO Ideas Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 20, 2017 / / 16 Comments

The Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner by Rainer Zufall is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The setting for the project is from a prominent location from the popular comedy-drama show on the WB/CW. It also proposes minifigures of Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Jess, Lane, and Kirk.

The project hit the milestone in less than a month due to its coverage on online publications like Buzzfeed, Fortune, Time, and Mashable, just to name a few. I honestly did not watch Gilmore Girls so I’m not sure of its popularity even though I’ve heard of it before. It is the first project to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

LEGO Fidget Spinner

The current fad, at least here in the US, is fidget toys and fidget spinners. Before the ship has sailed, it appears that LEGO has produced official building instructions for two versions of the toy.

The builds are very similar with no exclusive parts but it depends if you want to hold a turntable piece or a Technic pin. Of course, you can still customize the LEGO Fidget Spinner to your liking.

Various LEGO Sales on Amazon

May 18, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Amazon is currently having very good sales on sets from various LEGO themes including a couple that are at a pretty decent price points for what you get.

First is the LEGO City City Square (60097) which is at $135.99. That is 28% off the normal price of $189.99 or $54 off. You do get a lot of cool builds with the set including the tram, LEGO Store as well as the LEGO delivery truck which we rarely see.

The next set that I think is a good buy is the LEGO Minecraft The Fortress (21127). It is currently at $67 or 39% off the normal price of $109.99. This brings the price/piece ratio to about $0.07. As with other Minecraft sets, you do get a good amount of parts anyways if you’re just buying it for parts.

Finally, we have a couple of LEGO Star Wars sets to help you build up your fleet. The Resistance X-Wing Fighter (75149) is at $56.72 which is currently 29% off the normal price of $79.99. This is a better price point since it’s mostly a recolor of Poe’s X-Wing Fighter (75102).

The other LEGO Star Wars set that I think is at a good price is the TIE Striker (75154). It’s almost at it’s lowest price ever on Amazon but good enough to recommend. It currently sits at $44.18 which is 37% off the regular price of $69.99.

The LEGO Group Achieves 100% Renewable Energy Target Three Years Early

May 17, 2017 / / 6 Comments

Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that they have reached their 100% renewable energy target three years ahead of schedule. After spending about a DKK 6 billion/£700m investment over four years into offshore wind farms, the output from these projects have exceeded the energy use from the LEGO factories, offices, and stores globally. Their latest investment in the Burbo Bank Extension wind farm will provide power for more than 230,000 British households. You can read more about this milestone in the link above.

Facts about Burbo Bank Extension

The Burbo Bank Extension wind farm is a joint venture between DONG Energy (50%) and its partners PKA (25%) and KIRKBI A/S (25%), parent company of the LEGO Group.
The wind farm is located 7 kilometres off the coast of Liverpool and has a capacity of 258 megawatts, enough to supply renewable energy to 230,000 British households.
The wind farm consists of 32 MHI Vestas V164-8.0 MW wind turbines.
KIRKBI A/S invested approximately DKK 3.3 billion (GBP 375 million) in the construction of the wind farm, bringing the total amount invested in building offshore wind power to over DKK 6 billion (GBP 680 million).

The winner will be drawn on June 1st and contacted for their mailing address. On that same day, the June giveaway set will be announced and the sign-up form will be reset for the next drawing.

LEGO set 6772 Alpha Team Cruiser was the second smallest set from the first wave of Alpha Team sets in 2001. The line consisted of 6 different sets and one of the most interesting things about it was that in order to assemble the entire lineup of the Alpha Team, each set needed to be purchased. The villain, Ogel, was available in both the largest and the smallest set, but Radia, Dash, Crunch, Charge, Cam, Flex, & Tee Vee were each produced once through the 4 protagonist sets. The Cruiser features Radia and is the only set to feature her in the original costume. The parts are all fairly common except for the Purple grille tiles which were only featured in this set and the original Mos Espa Podrace from Star Wars. Gasgano’s podracer contained 13 of them!

A particular LEGO set takes lots of time and planning to get from the development stage to store shelves.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608) Polybag Hints at New Video Game Coming

May 12, 2017 / / 13 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608)

It looks like there’s a new The LEGO Ninjago Movie polybag that has surfaced on eBay in Germany featuring Lloyd (30608). The polybag features the Green Ninja in a kendo outfit sort of paying homage to the kendo outfits back in 2012.

If you look closely at the bottom left corner, there’s a code H7HGT3 which may suggest that this Lloyd (30608) will be a promotional polybag for The LEGO Ninjago Movie game. Although nothing has confirmed at this time of a game, Arthur Parsons over on Twitter may or may not have been dropping subtle hints about a new game coming soon. E3 is just over a month away and he has stated that he will be there at the convention so I’m assuming there will be an announcement during that time.

The little code on the corner is a trend that has been going on with standalone LEGO video games including the Plastic Man (5004081) from LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Silver Centurion (5002946) from LEGO Marvel Avengers, and Finn (30605) from LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Cartoon Network has officially announced that a new LEGO Unikitty show will be coming to the network later this year. There will be some new character being introduced in the show including Unikitty’s brother, Puppycorn and her bodyguard, Hawkodile. Also living inside the castle is Dr. Fox.

The voice cast includes Tara Strong, Grey Griffin, Kate Micucci, Roger Craig Smith, Eric Bauza, and H. Michael Croner. Dan Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Roy Lee, Jill Wilfert will be the executive producers of the show.

As ruler of the kingdom, Unikitty has busy days full of royal responsibilities. Unikitty is most interested in making sure everyone is happy and ridding the kingdom of negativity, but don’t misunderstand her optimism – she is one kitty not to be crossed. While she may be full of boundless energy and creativity, Unikitty 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, and Unikitty’s trusty bodyguard, Hawkodile. Through it all, Unikitty and her friends make sure that every day is the happiest and most creative ever.

LEGO Minecraft Mountain Cave (21137)

Earlier today, LEGO revealed another teaser image for the LEGO Minecraft Mountain Cave (21137) and this image connects to the previous ones to get a clear image of the whole thing. From the looks of it, there’s probably one last teaser image until the official reveal some time in the next few weeks.

LEGO Minecraft Releases Teaser Images of Largest Set for Theme

LEGO Minecraft

In the past few days, the LEGO Minecraft social media sites have been teasing their next set which they are calling the largest set ever for the theme. So far, I’ve gathered four images which shows various sections of the Mountain Cave (21137) such as the mines as well as well as a railway. There’s also some new characters and mobs that haven’t appeared yet in previous LEGO Minecraft sets like the wolf and the charged creeper.

The little teasers are a lead up to the official reveal some time in the next few weeks. On the June 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, there will be a VIP early access set from June 15-30 and my guess is that it will be this LEGO Minecraft Mountain Cave (21137) set. Stay tuned for more updates to this mysterious set.

LEGO Star Wars Toys R Us May the 4th Princess Leia Review

May 6, 2017 / / 2 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Toys R Us May the 4th Princess Leia

Today was the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event at Toys R Us in which participants could build Princess Leia. I’m on vacation but was able to attend the TRU here and build her. The set is very simple with no exclusive parts so you can easily build her. I do like that 33291 brown flower pieces are used for her hair buns instead of 1×1 stud pieces.

I must say that the Princess Leia build is actually pretty bad compared to other TRU builds that they’ve done before especially for the Star Wars 40th anniversary. The event itself, however, was very organized. As a reader said before, the intent was there but was poorly executed.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449) Polybag Review

May 4, 2017 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has hit theaters here in the US and to commemorate the movie, LEGO has produced a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes polybag for it with The Milano (30449). This polybag consists of 64 pieces and according to the May 2017 Store Calendar, you can get it for free with purchases of $35 or more from May 8-21, while supplies last.

This is the third version of the ship with The Milano Spaceship Rescue (76021) from the first movie and the latest one being in The Milano vs. The Abilsk (76081).

Build

The build is straight-forward and it utilizes some fairly rare parts that are included with the set. The rarest one is the trans-white 2×2 sloped piece used for the windshield. Next is the newer 2×3 shield tile piece. Finally there’s the Beam 1M with three Balls Ø5,9 which was mostly used for the Nexo Knights Battle Suits.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

The design is pretty spot-on to the larger version of the ship. The front has the unique V-shaped nose while the six wings use the aforementioned Beam 1M piece. If you look closely at the front of one side of the ship, there’s a medium azure stud piece to give some detailing.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

The thrusters on the back are on Technic pins so they can be angled straight back or downwards.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) 2017 May the 4th Polybag Review

May 3, 2017 / / 8 Comments

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

The annual LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotional event starts in just a few hours and usually we get exclusive minifigures as part of the promo but this year, LEGO has decided to do something different. For this year, we get a brick-built R2-D2 (30611) polybag to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars. The polybag consists of 70 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $50 or more in LEGO Star Wars products.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

When the set was revealed to be this year’s promotional polybag, there were differentiating opinions on it. Some welcomed the change while others are somewhat disappointed that it’s not an exclusive minifigure since there are a ton of other characters that could be great minifigures.

Build

R2-D2 is actually a pretty decent build with the body useing SNOT techniques to create the look. You actually build it upside-down before turning it back over to finish it up at the end. The head piece is exclusive to this polybag and there’s printing all around it. It is attached in the middle of the body with a Technic pin so it can actaully rotate around. Just a side note, the head is the same size as the R4-P17 Astromech droid head from the UCS Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter (10215).

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

There is some articulation at the legs and feet using Technic pins as the main things to connect the legs to the body and the feet to the legs. There’s also the retractable central leg in the front to show R2-D2 … Continue

LEGO has finally officially revealed the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309). The set will consist of 1,969 pieces and retail for $119.99 and it stands at about 1 meter high (1:110 scale). This will be the largest LEGO Ideas set to date and will be available starting on June 1. Yes, it will come out the same day as the LEGO Creator Carousel (10257) which was announced yesterday.

If you didn’t notice, there’s one little Easter egg hidden in the piece count. As I mentioned above, it has 1,969 pieces and that number is also the year that the Apollo 11 landed the first humans on the moon with Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.

Make history with the LEGO® NASA Apollo Saturn V, the first rocket to put people on the Moon! Build the 3 stages of this stunning meter-high rocket and display it on the stand or launch into orbit. Offload the S-IC and S-II sections, dock the lunar lander with the command service module, and complete a successful Moon landing mission!

The set also includes 3 stands to display the model horizontally, 3 new-for-June-2017 astronaut microfigures for role-play recreations of the Moon landings, plus a booklet about the manned Apollo missions and the fan designers of this educational and inspirational LEGO Ideas set.

LEGO Star Wars Toys R Us May the 4th Building Event

April 23, 2017 / / 13 Comments

The Toys R Us website hasn’t been updated yet but there will be a LEGO Star Wars May the 4th building event on May 6 from 12-2pm. There’s no word yet on what the build will be but hopefully we’ll get to see something before the event actually starts. If you are attending, remember to get there early as these events are very popular.

Update: Apparently, there’s a sign up form for the event and it is revealed on the page that the build will be a Micro Princess Leia. There’s a limited number of spots available for that day so sign up if you wish to attend. I’m not sure if the rules have changed and if walk-ups are accepted. I would call your store to confirm.

LEGO Creator Fairground Carousel (10256) Rumored for June Release

April 22, 2017 / / 12 Comments

In the last few years except for 2016, LEGO has released some LEGO Creator D2C Fairground sets. There’s a rumor of a Fairground Carousel (10256) that has been floating the LEGO community for a few months now and it looks like it will be coming on June 1 according to Tragic Banjo over on Eurobricks. LEGO might have been dropping hints since March when the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) was revealed. If you checked out the designer video, you can see Jamie Berard doing circling motions which could suggest a carousel spinning.

If this is true, it will join the Fairground Mixer (10244) and the Ferris Wheel (10247) as the sets in this LEGO Creator Fairground subtheme and will be the second large scale carousel that will be released with the first one being the Grand Carousel (10196) from 2009. Jamie Berard was the designer for both of the recent fairground sets. There’s no word on pricing or piece count at this time. I’m going to assume that the official reveal will be sometime in May with early VIP access as well.

Thanks to CM4Sci for the heads up.

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive (75191) Official Images

April 21, 2017 / / 14 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive (75191)

Toys R Us Hong Kong has posted the official images of the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive (75191). The set has four minifigures including R4-P17, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, and Jango Fett. I assume the build is based on the Episode II: Attack of the Clones where Obi-Wan is going to Kamino where he discovers the Clone Army. I’ve been told the set will go for about $129.99 but we’ll see.

Rumors of LEGO Nexo Knights Being Cancelled

April 19, 2017 / / 33 Comments

LEGO Nexo Knights

Here’s a very interesting rumor coming out of Brickset regarding the future of the LEGO Nexo Knights theme. They are reporting that Blocks magazine has gotten information that the theme is “being cancelled and the summer sets may not even be released.” There was no source given and I haven’t heard anything about the theme being cancelled from the usual sources so I am somewhat skeptical about it.

We did see the summer 2017 sets at the New York Toy Fair so we know there are sets coming but that also doesn’t mean much. This could also mean the wave will have a short shelf life and be fazed out, similar to LEGO BIONICLE and LEGO Mixels in their last waves. These sets were only sold at LEGO Brand Stores, Shop@Home, and some specialty stores.

The LEGO Nexo Knights theme was the latest “Big Bang” theme and usually has a three year run with the exception of LEGO Ninjago which surpassed everyone’s expectations and is going on their seventh year. If the theme is actually cancelling after two years, it’s speculation that it not performing as well as LEGO expected.

For me personally, I think the theme is pretty cool and I really dig the color schemes which reminded me of the Ice Planet 2002 theme. There were also lots of new parts introduced, the shield piece for example, which fans liked and gave tons of inspiration for MOCs.

Again, these are only rumors until there’s definite proof the theme is being cancelled so don’t panic … Continue

The Surf Rescue project by LegoSurfRescue is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This project shot up to the top of the mountain in the past day earning over 6000 supporters in the last few days. It features a non-licensed idea beach scene but more importantly it sends a message.

LEGO Blacktron II Inspired UCS Slave One

April 17, 2017 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I (75060) has inspired many color swaps of the ship from Jango Fett to the White Prototype Boba Fett. One build that I came across on Reddit by Alg3braic is a LEGO Blacktron II inspired Slave One and I was drawn to it because I’m very partial to the Blacktron theme from the late 80s to the early 90s.

The build uses mostly the design of the official UCS Slave I but there’s also some customization to it especially the canopy area which took some ingenuity to implement the Blacktron canopy piece. Check out more images of the set in the link above.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30542) Found at Target

April 16, 2017 / / 4 Comments

A reader has emailed me that they have found The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30542) polybag at Target stores. The polybag was originally a LEGO Store and Shop@Home promotion with purchases of $35 or more back in December-January but it looks like Target will now start carrying it as well. I wasn’t told where it was found but I’m assuming it is in the checkout aisles or somewhere near the LEGO section of the store. If you didn’t get a chance to pick it up a few months ago, here’s your second chance. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Build Your Own Adventure Includes John Stewart Green Lantern

New Chinese Brick Company Producing AFOL Sets

April 9, 2017 / / 34 Comments

Here’s something that has popped up on my feed and also readers emailing in about it but I questioned whether I should post about it or not. You may have heard of a few well-known builders in the LEGO community like The Arvo Brothers, Firas Abu-Jaber, Paul Boratko (CrowKillers), and Bangoo H, many of which have been featured on The Brothers Brick and other LEGO sites. Their LEGO builds are an envy of many builders who have tried to replicate themselves or take inspiration from.

The 29th Guangzhou Toy & Hobby Fair kicked off yesterday and there’s a Chinese “new” brick company who has appeared to be making sets based on the designs of some of the builders I’ve named above. In a post on Facebook, there are images of a company called Xingbao (星堡) who is owned by Meizi Model (美致模型), which is the same company that owns LEPIN, at the convention displaying some of the sets based off of the AFOL designs including The Arvo Brother’s Kaneda’s Bike and Alien, Bangoo H’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky music box, Fira’s Volkswagen Beetle, Ford GT, and Rolls Royce Springfield Roadster, and Paul’s Balisong supercar, just to name a few. It also appears that some of the designers have confirmed to have licensed their models out to the company.

This new company is essentially helping AFOLs who want their models become easier to obtain by their followers who do not have time to BrickLink the parts or whatnot. This whole thing … Continue

He has a black torso with dual molded legs. To complete the look he has a tricorn hat with a bandana, and a cape. The accessories include two Flintlock pistols. I’m not sure of all the secrecy behind it but he appears to be a fairly generic character.

More Details of Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon

April 7, 2017 / / 30 Comments

It looks like there’s more information coming out today that gives more details of the rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. Stash2Sixx over on Eurobricks has reported that it will be at least $600 and it will be released around October. He also has given some info about some of the minifigures that will be included in the set such as Hoth Leia, Hoth Han, Chewbacca, Finn, Rey, BB8, Old Man Han, and possibly a Mynock. These minifigures correspond to the ones my source gave me a few months ago of the original trilogy minifigures.

If you haven’t heard of Stash2Sixx before, they have given correct information before in the past about LEGO Star Wars sets so I consider them be a credible source.

LEGO has teased another image from the LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket set but this time it is the Apollo Lunar Module sitting in the background. Last week, part of the Saturn-V Rocket was shown off so it looks like LEGO is staying true to the project and including everything so far that was proposed.

If you think about it, it is the second Friday in a row that LEGO has done a teaser for this set so hopefully the trend continues. The LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket will be landing soon in June.

LEGO Minecraft Teases Largest Set Ever for Theme

April 6, 2017 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Minecraft

Earlier today, LEGO did a teaser post for LEGO Minecraft announcing they will be releasing the largest set ever for the theme. It is most likely that the set will be The Mountain Cave (21137) which I believe is the upper-right area of the overworld map. The map pretty much shows every Minecraft set that has been released so far except for that area so I’m taking an educated guess that it’ll look somewhat like that.

Currently, the largest set in the LEGO Minecraft theme is The Village (21128) which comes in at 1,600 pieces and retails for $199.99 so this new D2C set will have more parts. There’s no word on when the reveal will be but you’ll be sure that I’ll be reporting about it when it does.

LEGO Dimensions The Goonies Level Pack (71267) Octopus Teaser

April 6, 2017 / / 0 Comments

TT Games has been fairly quiet about some of the upcoming LEGO Dimensions expansion packs but today they released a little teaser of The Goonies Level Pack (71267). As you can from the clip below, it shows part of the game at One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship and next to it is the octopus from the deleted scene in the movie. If the deleted scene octopus is in the game, I’m sure there will be more Easter eggs in the expansion pack.

The Goonies Level Pack (71267) will be available on May 9 and it includes the Sloth minifigure along with One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship and the Skeleton Organ as the builds. The alternate builds for the ship are the Fanged Fortune and the Inferno Cannon while the Skeleton Organ can turn into a Skeleton Jukebox and Skele-Turkey.

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season Two Trailer

April 3, 2017 / / 3 Comments

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures

The new trailer for season two of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures has been released. We can see some of the upcoming sets in action in with the Tracker I (75185) and The Arrowhead (75186). The new season introduces a new character called M-OC Hunter Droid which has been unleashed by Emperor Palpatine to find the Freemakers. Season two will premiere this summer on Disney XD and you can check out the trailer below.

At the end of the first season, the Freemaker family found a new home with the rebel fleet. Their new circumstances bring them face to face with brutal Imperial forces, desperate Hutts, conniving Sith Lords, and the Emperor’s latest plaything, M-OC, a terrifying hunter droid who continually modifies himself to fit any occasion. In response to these threats, Rowan’s powers grow and strengthen until he has a vision of a sleek, invulnerable ship that can save the Rebellion and stop the Empire in its tracks – the Arrowhead. The catch is, the Arrowhead is a ship only Rowan can build. Once again, it’s up to the youngest Freemaker to save the galaxy.

LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack Sales on Amazon

April 3, 2017 / / 3 Comments

If you’ve been thinking of picking up LEGO Dimensions, Amazon has some good sales on the Starter Packs. The PlayStation 4 version, which has the exclusive Supergirl minifigure, is 50% off the regular price. The XBox One version is also 50% but does not have Supergirl included. The PlayStation 3 version is 40% off ($47.65) while the XBox 360 version is 36% off.

If you’re worried about the rumor of LEGO Dimensions ending, I’m pretty sure that TT Games won’t just completely shut it down. You’ll still be able to play the game but just won’t get any more updates. Besides, there’s is still plenty of content in the near future with The Goonies Level Pack (71267), Hermoine Fun Pack (71348), and LEGO City Fun Pack (71266) all coming out in May and Powerpuff Girls, Beetlejuice, and Teen Titans Go! in the distant future.

Have We Seen the Last of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Exclusive Minifigures?

April 2, 2017 / / 11 Comments

This year, LEGO will end their six year run of exclusive minifigures for the annual May the 4th promotion with the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag as it was confirmed on the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar. For many collectors, including me, the May the 4th promo is one of the times of the year where we are excited to see what characters we’re going to get as a minifigure that we normally wouldn’t get in a regular set. The Star Wars canon as well as the Expanded Universe is massive and there is an unlimited number of characters that could be turned into buildable characters like R2-D2.

Does this year’s polybag start a new trend for buildable characters for future LEGO May the 4th promotions or do you think this is just a one-off thing for 2017 of LEGO testing the waters for these kind of polybags? Keep in mind, this post is about the May the 4th promotions and not ones that are for other times of the year.

Here’s a list of the May the 4th LEGO minifigures from previous years:

2011: Shadow ARF Trooper (2856197)

2012: TC-14 (5000063)

2013: Hoth Han Solo (5001621)

2014: Darth Revan (5002123)

2015: Admiral Yularen (5002949)

2016: First Order Stormtrooper (30602)

LEGO April Fool’s Day 2017 Roundup

April 1, 2017 / / 4 Comments

April Fool’s Day is pretty much over and the LEGO community again this year came together to spread hoaxes and playing jokes on their readers. There’s a little recap of some of the things that happened today around the LEGO community. You can see from the list below, there’s similar topics from various sites. If there’s something that I missed, let me know and I’ll try to add it to the list.

For my annual joke, I reported that I would start reviewing LEPIN sets but that will never happen. Many of you guys caught on which isn’t that surprising.

Adeel Zubair

A reader named Adeel made The Simpsons The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop (71062) and made it seem that LEGO tweeted it out.

BrickFinder

They reported that Beijing would be opening up the first LEPIN certified store.

BrickLoot

The announced the MEGA Brick Loot box which contains a build that had over 20,000 pieces.

BrickNerd

BrickNerd also put out a “new” LEGO Star Wars set with The Destruction of Jedhi (040117) that only consisted of tan bricks and would only be available during the May the 4th promotion.

Brickset

They had two posts for April Fool’s with the first one being a new LEGO Game of Thrones theme complete with set descriptions.

Their other post was “confirming” a new UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) with an image of Shop@Home with an image and pricing of the set.

They did a post of Google & LEGO joining together for a Google Build Assistant.… Continue

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) Review

April 1, 2017 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

For the whole month of April, LEGO Stores and Shop@Home will be giving out a free 58 piece LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) polybag with a $20 LEGO Friends purchase, while supplies last.

One of the more interesting things about the set is the packaging. It uses the newer softer plastic that you can easily tear open to access the contents.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

The build is very simple using plates as the base and tiles along with jumper plates to get the smooth top. There are five white bunnies and five light gray hamsters to use as play pieces. The hamster is actually very rare as this is only the second set that it has appeared in with the other being the Heartlake Riding Club (41126) which only has one of them included. Also fairly rare are the 1×1 dark magenta tiles and the 4×10 lime green baseplates.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

As the set name states, this is a Tic Tac Toe board in which a player has to line up three pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

As I mentioned before, the LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) polybag is free with a $20 LEGO Friends purchase throughout the month of April. It’s a nice little travel-sized game that kids can take along during trips. For the collectors, some of the rarer pieces may be of interest.

The Brick Fan Expanding to LEPIN Set Reviews

April 1, 2017 / / 14 Comments

There’s a point in time where you have to take a step back and see where you are in life and at this point, I’ve decided to expand The Brick Fan. A few people have asked me whether I would do this or not but I think it’s about time that I do so. I’ve decided to go ahead and also review LEPIN sets.

We’ve all seen a company called LEPIN which many call a knockoff company. Essentially, they take official LEGO sets and make bootleg sets out of them with subpar plastics. There aren’t that many reviewers of LEPIN sets and I feel that I should take this opportunity to test them out and let the public know how I feel about them. I’ve set up a website called The LEPIN Fan for my the reviews and I encourage you to head on over and check it out.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) Review

March 29, 2017 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

Coming on April 1, LEGO will be having a promotion for the LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) which is a smaller version of the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) released last year. This set will be available with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last, from April 1-15. Designed by long-time LEGO designer, Mel Caddick, the 141 piece set looks to be another great set by her. The contents of the box include two unnumbered bags, the instructions, and a small sticker sheet.

The front of the box has the same background as the larger Beetle to give it a consistant look considering they’re both the same vehicle. The back just shows another angle of the set.

Build

The build of the Volkswagen Beetle is very simple as it pretty much is just stacking bricks, as these smaller sets are usually like. There isn’t any difficult building techniques used so the build time should be relatively short.

As I mentioned before, there are stickers with the set and as an official licensed product of Volkswagen, there is a sticker of the Volkwagen logo right in the front. For the license plate stickers, its spells out M31 OD4 which spells out Melody. If you’re not familar with license plate stickers, the designers usually throw in Easter eggs that relates to them and in this case, the designer’s first name.

The rest of the stickers are for the side rear windows, the tail lights, and for the surfboard which again has the same color scheme as the … Continue

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) to be May the 4th Promo Polybag

March 28, 2017 / / 30 Comments

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

It looks like we have some confirmation of what the May the 4th LEGO promotion will be for this year and we’ve already seen images of it before. A reader has emailed in details and they were told that it will be the brick-built LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag. You can get it for free during the May the 4th promotion with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $75 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

I’ve been told that it this year’s promotional polybag would be a little different from previous years when they were exclusive minifigures and it appears that the brick-built R2-D2 will do just that. If you don’t wish to make a purchase during the May the 4th promo, you can build your own as the instructions have been online for a while. The only downside is that you have to substitute the front detailing as the printed 1×1 tiles are exclusive to this set. We’ll definitely confirm it when the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few days.

Thanks to Sid for the info.

LEGO Dimensions Sued for Patent Infringement

March 24, 2017 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

Here’s something that’s interesting coming out of the LEGO Dimensions subreddit. Apparently a company called FigureFun LLC is suing LEGO and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for patent infringement. The company states two patents, 7,001,276 and 7,338,377, are infringing on their rights and are seeking damages.

Users in the subreddit quickly debunked that FigureFun is using a practice called patent trolling. This is when a company obtains the rights to patents to make a profit from licensing or through the courts which is what is happening here.

According to public records, FigureFun LLC was set up on April 4, 2016, a whole year after LEGO Dimensions was introduced so this lawsuit is coming in pretty late. It’ll be interesting to see the outcome of this lawsuit, if any.

You can read up on the whole lawsuit here.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Rumored to be Costume Party Theme

March 22, 2017 / / 13 Comments

LEGO news has been really quiet the past few weeks or so but here’s something about the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures that may interest you. A user on Eurobricks has stated that Series 18 could be another themed-based set with it being a “Costume Party.”

We’ve gotten a plethora of costumed LEGO minifigures in the past which have proven to be very popular with collectors like the Banana Guy, Shark Suit Guy, and Hot Dog Man, just to name a few. If the rumor is true, hopefully we see some designs that aren’t based off of previous minifigure costumes.

Amazon has some really good sales on various LEGO sets. I’ve listed some of the more notable ones below.

If you been wanting to expand your carbon chamber scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Amazon has the LEGO Star Wars Carbon-Freezing Chamber (75137) on sale for $14 which is 44% off the normal price of $24.99.

The LEGO City Cargo Train (60052) is back on sale again for $139.99 which is $60 off the regular price. It’s coming up on the third year of its shelf life so there’s a chance that it could be retiring soon.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City

The LEGO Ninjago Movie trailer has been released over a month ago and so far there been little information about the sets that will accompany the movie. We do know that there will be quite a few sets featuring the mechs, which can be seen in the trailer, that were shown off at the 2017 New York Toy Fair but no photography was allowed.

One of my sources has told me about another set that will be coming out this summer as well which is a D2C Ninjago City set. There was no other info that was given except that it would be a pretty large set and could possibly be some sort of modular building.

As always, keep this as a rumor since there hasn’t been any other information on this set but I do feel confident about it.

LEGO set 6639 Raven Racer is a small set from the 1995 Race subtheme of Town. I remember this set as the first set I received that included the tool wheel sprue. In 1995, only 5 sets included the tool wheel, all in Dark Gray. It wasn’t until 1999 in the first Star Wars X-wing set that we received the tools in a new color, black. Raven Racer includes 1 minifigure, a dragster, and a tool rack. The tool wheel was also useful in giving you 6 clips in a set to hold the tools, a higher number of the same piece, especially in a set this small.

LEGO Dimensions Coming to an End?

March 16, 2017 / / 58 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

Here’s an very interesting rumor involving the future of LEGO Dimensions and it’s not looking too good for the popular toys-to-life game. Bricks to Life has put out a report that LEGO Dimensions may be coming to an end sooner than we thought. We already knew that TT Games had promised three years of content but that looks like that may be cut short. I’ve seen various reports on it but I’ve held off until there were more information about it.

Bricks to Life was given this information from their sources and it also corresponds to what Just2Good stated last month which he took a lot of flak for. There’s also in-game content that may also suggest the same thing where some content were removed in the latest update. Furthermore, it was also stated that the company held a meeting to review their upcoming games and LEGO Dimensions went from top of the list to the bottom. Coupled that with the very deep discounts of the expansion packs recently, everything seems to be correlate that the game will be coming to an end.

Of course there’s still more LEGO Dimensions expansion packs that will be coming out in the near future including The Goonies Level Pack (71267), Hermione Fun Pack (71348), and the LEGO City Fun Pack (71266) which are all coming out in May. There’s also some unannounced expansion packs from various themes including The Powerpuff Girls, Beetlejuice, and Teen Titan’s Go! which we haven’t officially seen yet. Then there’s that Lord Vortech … Continue

LEGO Brand Stores to Start Carrying Store Exclusive Sets

March 12, 2017 / / 14 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie The Penguin Arctic Roller (70911)

Have you walked into a LEGO Store looking for a particular set but end up finding out that it is an exclusive set to another store? One example is The Penguin Arctic Roller (70911) which is actually a Target exclusive so you can only find that set there.

After many customer complaints, what I am hearing is that there will no longer be store exclusives and LEGO Stores will start carrying all the sets from a particular wave. This means that stores like Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us will no longer be the place to go for one set. Of course you can buy the set on Shop@Home but if you’re already at a LEGO Store, why wait for shipping on it.

There’s no word on when the change will take effect but I’m already seeing the Arkham Asylum (70912) at LEGO Stores which was previously a Toys R Us exclusive.

The LEGO Movie Sequel to be a Space Action Musical?

March 8, 2017 / / 14 Comments

News on The LEGO Movie Sequel has been somewhat quiet since it’s been pushed back to 2019 a new interview might be shed some new details for the movie. The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay appeared on the Shanlian on Batman podcast and he revealed that The LEGO Movie Sequel could be a lot different from the first.

LEGO 2 is going to be this big musical and space action movie. They need a lot of the writing, a lot of development, not only with script development, but development with songwriters. So it was very ambitious to get that movie out.

If the sequel is indeed going to be a space action musical movie, there will no doubt feature a lot of Benny the Spaceman, voiced by Charlie Day in the first movie. Of course, this could very well change again between now and 2019 so don’t get your hopes up too high since there has already been a lot of changes already so far.

There were twelve projects that qualified for review which included Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, The Addams Family Mansion, the Merchant’s House, the Large Hadron Collider, LEGO Observatory – Mountain View, Modular Construction Site, the Women of NASA, Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder, Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, Lovelace & Babbage, and The Plum Creek – The Little House on the Prairie.

Honestly, the Women of NASA project didn’t really surprise me because LEGO does have a partnership with NASA and there are a few space-themed sets already including the upcoming Saturn V one for later this year.

What do you guys think if the project that was chosen to become an official LEGO Ideas set? Sound off in the comments below.

Front row: Connoisseur, Butterfly Girl, Roman Gladiator, Corn Cob Guy, Retro Space Hero, Dance Instructor, Battle Dwarf, Rocket Boy

As with previous Collectible Minifigure series, I’ve already gotten a few requests for the feel guides I put out for this series and there’s no better time than now to do one.

Hot Dog Vendor: The curved hot dog and bun pieces are the things that stand out for him.

Elf Maiden: You should feel for the sword piece as it is the easiest thing on the Elf Maiden to find.

Circus Strongman: The new round barbell piece is the only thing you should feel for when finding him.

Yuppie: The easiest thing to feel for is the mobile phone as it has a pretty distinct design.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Awesome Guide Exclusive Wonder Woman Minifigure Revealed

February 13, 2017 / / 15 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Awesome Guide

In a couple of months, DK will be releasing a new LEGO book called LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Awesome Guide. The book will also include an exclusive minifigure. It was presumed that it might have been the John Stewart Green Lantern minifigure but that is not correct. As we can see from the image above, it has been revealed that the minifigure included with the book is actually David Finch’s Post-New 52 Wonder Woman. She now dons a red top and boots with blue sleeves and pants which debuted in the comics a few years ago.

The image above is a little misleading and the Wonder Woman minifigure next to the blue dot that says exclusive is not the one included. The one inside the book is the one that is exclusive. Here’s a zoomed in image of it.

Thanks to Gustavo on our Facebook Page for the heads up.

Go behind the scenes with all of your favourite Super Heroes and Super-Villains in the action-packed, fact-filled LEGO® DC Super Heroes The Awesome Guide.

Join the stars of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets on epic adventures and in thrilling battles. Learn about their superpowers, weapons, vehicles and secret identities.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) Individual Vehicles Revealed

February 12, 2017 / / 9 Comments

A few days ago, The LEGO Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) was announced and it was stated that it was able to separate into four different vehicles including the Batmobile, Batwing, Bat-Tank, and Batcycle but there were no images of that.

Earlier today, there’s an image that showed up on Reddit which shows The Ultimate Batmobile separated into the four vehicles. The post doesn’t give the source but it’s from a book which I assume is from the upcoming The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie.

The set will be released on June 1 and will retail for $129.99. It contain eight minifigures including Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Polka-Dot Man, Alfred Pennyworth (in Batsuit), Wicked Witch of the West, and two Flying Monkeys. What do you guys think of the set now that you’ve seen it separated?

The LEGO Batman Movie Batgirl (30612) Polybag to be Target Exclusive

February 12, 2017 / / 3 Comments

Last night, I reported on the new image of The LEGO Batman Movie Batgirl (30612) polybag. There was no information on the availability of it until now.

As you can see from the image above, the polybag will be exclusive to Target and will be included with the home version of The LEGO Batman Movie which will also have some postcards as well. There’s no mentioning of which version in the image but the OP said it might be with a Blu-Ray bundle which sounds right considering that other movies that had LEGO minifigures were in the Blu-Ray/DVD/Digital HD bundle.

If you think you’re done seeing and collecting everything you can for The LEGO Batman Movie, guess again. There’s now an blown up official image of the Batgirl (30612) polybag that has showed up online. From the looks of it, the polybag just features Batgirl with a couple of yellow Batarangs with no discernible differences from what we have now. There’s no word yet on when or how the Batgirl (30612) polybag will be available but I let you know when the time comes.

Update: I’ve been told that Batgirl does come with an exclusive head.

The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607) Review

The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607)

The LEGO promotion for The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607) polybag is now live at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get it free with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last. The polybag includes two exclusive minifigure variants of Batman that is part of wide variety of suits from the movie.

Disco Batman

Disco Batman has a vintage looking purple shirt with a white vest. There’s also printing of apearl gold bat necklace around the neck. The legs, however, are just plain white. He also has a purple utility belt between the torso and legs. The facial expressions for Disco Batman is an angry scowl and a disgusted look. To complete his look, he has a pearl gold cowl and a gold and black cape as well as some pearl gold skates. The cape has a really nice sheen to it.

Tears of Batman

This version of Batman has him wearing a very colorful outfit that resembles a clown outfit. For the torso, it’s a blue shirt with red sleeves and it has some printing of white circles on it while also having a big red tie and blue suspenders. The legs are yellow and blue while having some patches on the knees. He also has a double-sided head with a smirk on one side and an angry look on the other. To finish off the look, he has a red cowl which I believe is exclusive as well as the green cape.

Regal Cinemas

If you watch the movie in IMAX, you can get a collectible ticket and a mini-poster. There are only 1,000 tickets per participating theaters. The poster is only available at select IMAX theaters on Thursday, February 9th.

The LEGO Batman Movie Regal IMAX

From the looks of it, Cinemark has the most attractive promotion with the Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman polybag as that variant is exclusive however locations are fairly limited. AMC is the least attractive as the polybag is already available in stores. Regal is a decent one as the tickets are collectibles that you can only get for a limited time during opening weekend. Of course, you can go to every theater and get everything if you have the time.

LEGO has launched their website for the upcoming LEGO House which will be opening to the public in Billund this fall. On the site, there is a ton of new information about what you can expect to see there.

First are the different Experience Zones that you can visit which include the Red Zone, Yellow Zone, Green Zone, and Blue Zone. The Red Zone lets you play with creativity and allows you to use your imagination to create. The Yellow Zone taps into your emotions and you can use those emotions to create animals and flowers. The Green Zone has a more social aspect to it and it teaches you social competences and responding to others’ needs and feelings. Finally, the Blue Zone tests your logic and teaches how to solve problems.

LEGO House

Another area that you can visit in the LEGO House is the Masterpiece Gallery which is an exhibit for AFOL creations. Maybe you can see some of your favorite builders’ creations here.

LEGO House

The History Collection takes you through the history of LEGO. Here you can see 500 of the most iconic LEGO sets the company and produced. It’s similar to the Vault but you can’t actually touch the sets.

The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman (5004928)

A few months ago, we got a first look at an exclusive The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman (5004928) keychain polybag. There was no information on how to get it except for on eBay from overseas. Thanks to Michael who emailed it in, we now know how to get the polybag here in the US.

According to the image above, Cinemark Connections members can get the keychain for free when you see The LEGO Batman Movie in RealD 3D starting tomorrow, while supplies last. The only problem is that it may still be out of reach for some of us since Cinemark is somewhat regional and locations are few and far between. For example, San Diego doesn’t have one and the closest one is up north so unless we go up there, there’s probably no way to get it unless we go on the secondary market.

The LEGO Batman Movie Spoiler-Free Review

February 8, 2017 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Batman Movie

When Warner Bros. announced there would be a spinoff movie to The LEGO Movie, I was actually not that surprised and I felt it was expected but that didn’t diminish the fact that I was extremely excited for The LEGO Batman Movie. I’ve gotten a chance to see the movie in a press screening a few days ago and here are my thoughts of it. Of course, the movie won’t be out until Friday so this is a spoiler-free review.

Right from the get-go, the opening credit scene is as funny as you can expect from Will Arnett’s narration. It then shifts to an action scene, where there is a ton of in the whole movie, where the Joker is trying to deploy one of his plans. It also introduces some of the other villains, which we’ve seen in the trailers, in a very short amount of time. I feel the story itself is actually two different stories combined into one main story that works very well. The most obvious one is the relationship between Batman and the Joker, again, which we’ve seen parts of in the trailer. The other story is Batman figuring himself out with or without help of his friends.

The LEGO Batman Movie

One thing to take away from The LEGO Batman Movie is that is does stay true to the vision that Phil Lord and Chris Miller gave when they said a lot of Batman history will be included in the film. Combine that with some LEGO humor that kids may or may not get … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie First Trailer Released

February 8, 2017 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

The official full trailer for The LEGO Ninjago Movie has debuted on Good Morning America and is now online. You can see in the trailer that Ninjago City is being taken over by Lord Garmadon. You can also see some of the potential sets that we can expect to be released including Garmadon’s flying mech shark. Of course, you have the humor that the LEGO movies have as well. The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be in theaters September 22.

In this big-screen NINJAGO adventure, the battle for NINJAGO City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, The Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner power of Spinjitzu.

Yesterday was the premiere of The LEGO Batman Movie in Los Angeles where many of the voice actors were on hand to celebrate. Also attending was President of DC Entertainment and President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Diane Nelson who was wearing a LEGO mosaic jacket featuring a Batman/Joker on the front and the logo on the back. The jacket was designed by renowned LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya and was inspired by the “Necessary Evil” sculpture from The Art of the Brick: DC Comics exhibit. It took Nathan more than 10,000 pieces, most of which are 2×2 plates, and over 100 hours to create. Thanks to Briana for emailing in about it.

The LEGO Batman Movie Experience Walmart Debacle

February 5, 2017 / / 13 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Walmart

If you went to The LEGO Batman Movie Experience at Walmart stores yesterday in hoping participate in the event, a majority of you were probably met with disappointment. For many of the 600 stores listed that were set to partake in the event, nothing actually happened there. For those lucky to have a functional event, there was a lot of activities to do including getting the free Accessory Pack (5004930) which is the same as the one as you get for doing the LEGO Store Batman Search & Find. For others, they were met with cardboard cutouts and empty tables.

I’ve had plenty of comments by readers who said that Walmart knew nothing about the event and blamed it on the third-party vendors. It’s not sure if the vendors were part of Warner Bros. or LEGO or just contractor but nobody showed up and people, not surprisingly, were upset to put it nicely. Some readers even took an extra step and called ahead to confirm if their stores were participating but were still met with frustration. Even LEGO had to come out and comment on the events page on Facebook to clarify what was going on.

Clearly, there was very little communication between companies and it’s surprising to see that especially for very anticipated movie like The LEGO Batman Movie. Obviously this hurts the LEGO brand even if it turns out that they weren’t at fault as people were excited about the event and took time to go there but were letdown. Hopefully they can take … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Suits Revealed

USA Today has released a new image of the suits for the upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie. As you can see above, the image shows Kai (Michael Pena), Nya (Abbi Jacobson), Jay (Kumail Nanjiani), Lloyd (Dave Franco), Zane (Zach Woods), and Cole (Fred Armisen) all donning new suits. You can also see the hairstyles are slightly different than in the animated series especially Cole who looks like he’s sporting a man bun now.

We’ve also seen an image of Lord Garmardon (Justin Theroux) who was revealed a few days ago and Sensei Wu (Jackie Chan) from the animated short from last year. The only character we haven’t seen yet is Olivia Munn’s Koko.

Keep in mind that they’re grown up now in The LEGO Ninjago Movie and are in high school. Also, the movie is not in the same universe as in the animated series either but in the same as The LEGO Movie. The LEGO Ninjago Movie is in theaters on September 22.

The LEGO Movie Sequel Changes Directors

Even with the success of the first movie, it looks like that are more changes to The LEGO Movie Sequel. ComicBook.com is reporting that Trolls director Mike Mitchell has now been named the new director for The LEGO Movie Sequel. He replaces Rob Schrab who announced as the previous director around this time two years ago. According to reports, the change to Mitchell was based on creative differences between Warner Bros. and Schrab.

The swap in directors for The LEGO Movie Sequel is the latest change for the movie. Last year, the original script by Phil Lord and Chris Miller was rewritten by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and also the release date was pushed back for a second time to 2019.

The LEGO Batman Movie IMAX Poster

Warner Bros. has released details of the official cast for The LEGO Batman Movie and there are some surprises that we can expect to see in the movie. We already know the main cast which includes Will Arnett as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker, Michael Cera as Dick Grayson/Robin, Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, Mariah Carey as Mayor McCaskill, Jenny Slate as Dr. Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Billy Dee Williams as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, and Hector Elizondo as Commissioner James Gordon.

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble—LEGO® Batman—stars in his own big-screen adventure.

But there are big changes brewing in Gotham City, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

LEGO Ideas The Blues Mobile Achieves 10,000 Supporters

February 2, 2017 / / 5 Comments

The Blues Mobile by Kai Einfeldt is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is also the first project to reach the goal in the First 2017 Review Stage.

If you’re not familiar with The Blues Mobile, it is based on the famous Dodge Monaco that was featured in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Trailer Reported to be Coming Next Week

February 2, 2017 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

The British Board of Film Classification has released details about The LEGO Ninjago Movie trailer and that means that the first trailer will be dropping very soon. The trailer will run for 2 minutes and 23 seconds and according to my source, it might be coming as early as next week.

Our friends at PromoBricks has posted an image of The LEGO Ninjago Movie from the Nuremberg Toy Fair over on their Instagram and in the comments, they also stated that the first trailer will be coming next week which correlates to the information that we got.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be premiering in theaters September 22 and it will be in the same universe as in The LEGO Movie and the LEGO Batman Movie but not in the same continuity as in the animated TV series.

In this big-screen Ninjago adventure, the battle for Ninjago City calls to action young Lloyd, aka the Green Ninja, along with his friends, who are all secret warriors and LEGO Master Builders. Led by kung fu master Wu, as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their true power.

February 1, 2017 / / 5 Comments

Brand Finance has released their yearly Global 500 rankings and LEGO has regained their position from Disney as the world’s most powerful brand.

The LEGO Batman Movie AMC Theatres Opening Weekend Promotion

January 30, 2017 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie AMC

It looks like if you’re going to see The LEGO Batman Movie opening weekend (February 9-12), AMC Theatres may be the way to go. According to The LEGO Batman Movie page, it states AMC Stubs members who watch The LEGO Batman Movie in RealD 3D will be an AMC exclusive Batman minifigure with your ticket purchase. However, over on the promotions page, it shows that they’ll be giving away the Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522) polybag which is currently available at Target stores.

At first glance, one link says an exclusive minifigure while another says something that’s not exclusive. If you’re going to see the movie opening weekend anyways, it doesn’t hurt to check out AMC Theatres to see what they have available. If it’s an actual exclusive minifigure then great but if not, you still get a cool polybag out of it. There’s no word if Regal Cinemas will have any promotions for the movie.

The LEGO Batman Movie IMAX Poster

The LEGO Batman Movie will be premiering in theaters in two weeks and going up against it are some other high profile movies including Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2. It is predicted that The LEGO Batman Movie will take in more than $50 million in box office sales that weekend while Fifty Shades Darker will get $30mil-$42mil and John Wick rounding it out with about $20mil. Keep in mind that these are just US box office predictions.

One other interesting stat is that The LEGO Batman Movie has a 83% total awareness among moms which are categorized as women over 25 with a 9% unaided awareness and definite interest of 49% among men under 25.

Who is going to see The LEGO Batman Movie on opening weekend? I have a feeling that it’ll be pretty packed similar to what happened for The LEGO Movie so it’s highly suggested that you reserve your tickets early to guarantee your seat.

If you remember, we were the first site to report on this set last year which supposedly is one of the new pirate ships in the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales movie, possibly the Dying Gull or the Silent Mary, and may retail for $200-$250. The calendar list it’s release for early access for VIPs from March 27-30 but we’ll see if it’s the same when the US calendar is released.

January 23, 2017 / / 29 Comments

A few readers has informed me that 99 Cents Only Stores have started selling various LEGO Dimensions Fun Packs for only $0.99 each. This has also been confirmed by users on Reddit.

Even if you’re aren’t into LEGO Dimensions, you can’t deny that this is a great deal even if it’s just for the parts and minifigures.

The 2017 London Toy Fair is set to kick off and LEGO again this year will be on hand to show off some of the upcoming sets for later this year. Photography is still prohibited so we’ll have to wait until the Nuremberg Toy Fair next week to see initial images but for now, we’ll have to rely on attendees who are able to describe the sets in detail to give us a tease of what to expect. We’ve already had an initial list of the rumored Summer 2017 LEGO sets already so I’m excited to see what all is included with these sets.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523) Polybag Found at Walmart

January 22, 2017 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

I’ve been told that The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523) polybag has been found at Walmart on the east coast. There’s no other details that was given but I assume they were found in the LEGO section for $3.97 each. I’ve never seen any polybags at my stores except during the holiday season so they may not be at every Walmart. If you’ve been looking for The Joker Battle Training, you might want to check yours out to see if they have it. I’ve already done a review on the polybag which you can read it here.

The LEGO Batman Movie Minibuild

Toys R Us Hong Kong did a mini-building event for The LEGO Batman Movie and attendees got to create a small Batmobile. If you look closely, it is very similar to The LEGO Movie Emmet’s Flying Car from three years ago except for the large wings on the side. This results in the set having 60 pieces now.

Man So over in the Legend Bricks LEGO 交流交友區 Facebook group has also provided the building instructions if you want to create your own. There’s no word yet if there will be a similar TRU building event here in the States or not for The LEGO Batman Movie.

LEGO Dimensions to be Included in February Loot Crate Box

January 21, 2017 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Loot Crate

The February theme for Loot Crate has been revealed and it looks like there will be some sort of exclusive LEGO Dimensions item that will be included in the box. If you’re not familiar with Loot Crate, it is a curated subscription box which you can get 4-6 licensed items which are exclusive for the company that usually add up to $45 or more in retail value.

As I mentioned before, February will be a Build theme that “celebrate some of pop culture’s most “put together” franchises with this hands-on theme.” Some of the other items that will be featured include Batman, Power Rangers, LEGO Dimensions, and Tetris. Loot Crate boxes usually include a variety of items including a t-shirt so there’s no telling what the LEGO Dimensions item will be.

Loot Crate boxes start at $21.99/month for a one month subscription plus shipping so if you do decide to get a box just for the LEGO Dimensions item, this would be the best way to go unless you already have a subscription already or you want a longer term. Just be sure to manually cancel your subscription or else it will automatically renew. You have until February 19 to put your order in and it will ship between February 20-28.

Thanks to Tyler for the heads up.

LEGO Seasonal 2017 Halloween Set First Look

January 20, 2017 / / 3 Comments

IMG_20170120_202333452

The LEGO Seasonal 2017 Easter Egg Hunt (40237) has started to show up at LEGO Stores and on the back of the instructions, it shows this year’s LEGO Seasonal Halloween set. From the looks of it, the set shows off a large gate and in the background, there’s presumably a haunted house with an orange sky backdrop. There’s also a cauldron with some food stuff in it. The minifigures include a man and a skeleton. It’s cool to have an early look at the set although we won’t be released until September/October. So far this year, these Seasonal sets have been very promising compared to last year’s sets.

The LEGO Batman Movie McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys Revealed

January 17, 2017 / / 5 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie McDonald's Happy Meal

McDonald’s has updated their Happy Meal site and we now know what the coming toys for The LEGO Batman Movie will be. If you remember, I reported last week that there will be Happy Meal toys associated with the movie.

As you can see above, there are three different types of toys that we will be getting. The first one looks like a 3D viewer shaped as Batman and Batgirl’s masks with some scenes. The next one is a puzzle of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. Below that, I have no idea what that is with Catwoman. It looks like it may be stickers or character stands or maybe bookmarks. Finally, there are four different colored cups of some of the characters in the movie. These are different from the Action Cups that were released with The LEGO Movie.

If you were hoping for some actual LEGO with the Happy Meal toys, you’ll be disappointed again. There hasn’t been any actual LEGO sets since 2001 due small parts and they don’t want kids choking on them accidentally. So there you go. We have our first look at the The LEGO Batman Movie Happy Meal “toys.” There’s no release date so far but I did send an email out to confirm the dates. Will you be picking them up? Keep in mind that you do not have to buy the food to get them. You can buy them individually. Knowing me, I’ll probably pick them up eventually but I won’t be hunting them down.

Rumored LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast BrickHeadz

January 17, 2017 / / 1 Comment

As we know by now, the LEGO BrickHeadz line was introduced back at San Diego Comic Con last year and they will be officially released in March. LEGO VIP members will get early access to them in February.

There’s no information on what BrickHeadz will be coming out but we can probably guess that Marvel and DC will be part of it since they were released during SDCC. One new rumor that has been floating around Eurobricks is that there will be Disney BrickHeadz more specifically for Beauty and the Beast. Just2Good did an question and answer session yesterday and he did mention that there would be some BrickHeadz for the movie.

This is just a rumor for now but would you pick up the LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast BrickHeadz sets if they were to become actual sets?

From now until February 26 here in the US, LEGO Brand Stores are doing a Search & Find for Batman stickers/cutout that are placed throughout the store. As a prize for finding all the Batman variants, an associate will give you a Batman mask and The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack (5004930) polybag. The event is intended for kids 6-14. The set contains 41 pieces which includes a Batman minifigure and the Bat-Signal. It also contains a variety of other promotional products such as a sticker sheet and a two-sided poster.

Minifigure

Batman is the same minifigure that is in many other sets including the Clayface Splat Attack (70904), Scarecrow Special Delivery (70910), and the Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522) polybag. His facial expressions include a smirk and a angry grimace.

The only build in this Accessory Pack is the Bat-Signal. This build is exclusive to this polybag and it’s a pretty nice looking build for a free item. The Bat-Signal sits a 4×4 turntable piece and it is able to rotate a full 360 degrees. The signal area is also able to rotate by the way of a couple of a couple of Technic pins on the sides. The Batman symbol is a rare printed 2×2 round tile that is only in one other set, the LEGO Juniors Batman & Superman vs. Lex Luthor (10724)icon. It also incorporates the trans-brown Dome Ø32 piece which is nice.

LEGO 2017 Valentine's Day Building Events

If you checked out the February 2017 LEGO Store Calendar here in the US, you can see there are two building events to celebrate Valentine’s Day. On February 11, there is a kids event to build a mini rose that they can take home. This event is for VIPs and requires a sign up.

Adults also get to join in on the fun on February 14 as they also have a building night. This event is from 6-8pm and it appears the rose build is the same as the one the kids get. Registration is not required but may be necessary if there is a lot of demand for it so you may want to ask an associate just in case. I know the Fashion Valley location has started taking sign ups so there is demand for it at that particular location.

LEGO City: Undercover Nintendo Switch Includes Two Player Co-Op & Secret Nintendo Cameos

January 15, 2017 / / 3 Comments

LEGO City: Undercover

Nintendo has put out the product page for LEGO City: Undercover for the Switch and there are some new details about the game. As reported before, this remastered version is not exactly a straight port and there is new information about it that supports the claim.

If you look at the game details, it states that it will now have two player co-op which is what fans wanted from the first game. It does not say online co-op so we’ll still have to see about that. That also takes us to the gameplay since, it doesn’t say if the co-op is in the Story Mode or in Free Roam. If it’s in the Story Mode, there might be changes to the game play since you don’t want both players doing the same puzzles.

At the very bottom of the product overview section, you can see that it states there will be secret Nintendo cameos for this version of LEGO City: Undercover. There were Nintendo cameos in the original game but hopefully we’ll see something different. Fans would definitely want to see minifigure characters but we’ll see if that happens or not.

There’s no word yet on the release date of LEGO City: Undercover although Amazon has it listed as April 30 but that could just be a placeholder. LEGO City: Undercover will also be released on PlayStation 4, XBox One, and on Steam.

This is one of the lowest prices this set has been at.

This awesome motorized train with 4-channel, 7-speed, infrared remote control can transport almost anything. So it’s your job to make sure the cargo is in the right place at the right time to keep the city running smoothly.

Keep track of all the cargo leaving and arriving in the office at the impressive cargo train station. There you can use the sliding overhead crane with hook to move heavy cargo between vehicles or onto the ground. With so many play functions and cool features, this really is the ultimate set for train enthusiasts! Includes 4 minifigures: forklift driver, train driver, farmer and a truck driver.

Chevrolet Unveils Life-Sized LEGO Batmobile and Product Website

January 14, 2017 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Batmobile

The LEGO Batman Movie is set to hit theaters less than a month away and the marketing hype for it has ramped up even more. LEGO has teamed up with Chevrolet to create a life-sized version of the Batmobile as well as a dedicated website for it. It was unveiled today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and it consists of 344,187 pieces measuring at 17 feet long, 9 feet wide, and almost 7 feet tall. The construction took 222 hours to design and 1,833 hours to build.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batmobile

As for the website, it is similar to what you find in a real-life vehicle including the specs and product details of the Batmobile. Some things you can find on the Batmobile include Teen Driver Technology which has safety innovations like Automatic Nerd Alert and a Scarecrow Gas Detector. You can own it for only $48,000,000 and it comes in 13 shades of black such as Jet Black and Vanta Black. There’s even a comparison chart with it going up against The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906) and The Riddler Riddle Racer. Furthermore, there’s also an animated Chevrolet commercial for the Batmobile, similar to the ones we see on TV and online.

The LEGO Batman Movie Battle Pack (853651) Found

The LEGO Batman Movie Battle Pack (853651)

The LEGO Batman Movie completionists, it looks like there is another thing to collect for the upcoming movie which is a Battle Pack (853651). It is similar to other packs that LEGO has released such as for Nexo Knights and City which includes minifigures and a build. For The LEGO Batman Movie one, it has minifigures of Chief O’Hara and a couple of police officers along with a Bat-Signal build which is slightly different than the one we get from the LEGO Store exclusive Search & Find Accessory Pack (5004930).

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) Rumored for May the 4th

January 13, 2017 / / 10 Comments

It’s that time again of the year when rumors of upcoming LEGO direct-to-consumer sets are starting to come in and for May the 4th, I’ve been told from an anonymous source that it will be the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144). I’ve correlated this information with another of my sources and they do match up so it looks like it may be true. There was talk of this set last year but there was no concrete information on it except for a listing on Brickset.

LEGO has released a UCS Snowspeeder before with set 10129 back in 2003 which had 1,455 pieces and retailed for $130 but the info I got today states the new one will go for $199.99, as UCS sets usually go for these days. If this information is correct, that means the rumored UCS Millennium Falcon could be the UCS set for the second half of the year.

It looks like we have our first look at the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sets which which comes from the back of an unknown instruction manual. The image shows off three of the sets in the wave. From what I can see, the minifigures that are in the sets include:

Ravager Attack (76080) – Ayesha, Star Lord, Baby Groot, Yondu?, and an unknown character.

LEGO City: Undercover (2017) Official Trailer

January 12, 2017 / / 2 Comments

LEGO City: Undercover

WB Games has released the official trailer for the upcoming LEGO City: Undercover. The trailer reintroduces Chase McCain along with an amazing soundtrack that’s very Grand Theft Auto like. The game was first released exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U but this remastered version will be on the PlayStation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.

If you haven’t played LEGO City: Undercover before, it’s an open-world adventure that lets you control Chase McCain to hunt down criminals in a LEGO version of GTA. There are rumors that this version is more than just a straight port over and will have updates to it from the previous one. There’s no release date mentioned but it is stated that it will be released in the spring.

Join the Chase! This first official trailer for LEGO CITY Undercover introduces Chase McCain, a police officer who goes undercover and dons multiple disguises to hunt down the notorious – and recently escaped – criminal, Rex Fury, to put an end to his city-wide crime wave.

This open-world LEGO adventure allows fans and newcomers to explore the sprawling metropolis that is LEGO® CITY , with more than 20 unique districts to investigate, filled with car thieves to bust, vehicles to navigate, mischievous aliens to capture, hilarious movie references to discover, lost pigs to rescue and of course, hundreds of collectibles. Bringing together witty, original storytelling with signature LEGO humor, this open-world LEGO adventure creates a fun-filled experience for players of all ages.

The LEGO Batman Movie Costumes Now Available on Amazon

January 10, 2017 / / 3 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Costume

Last year, I reported that Disguise would be releasing official costumes for The LEGO Batman Movie and it looks like they are now available over on Amazon. Currently, I can only find the Batman costume but there will also be Batgirl as well.

Like with the LEGO Ninjago costume I reviewed last year, Batman will come in three sizes in both Deluxe and Prestige versions. The costume has six pieces to it including the tunic with detachable cape, pants, mask, and a pair of hands. The Prestige version will have the minifigure leg design.

Who says costumes are only for Halloween. With The LEGO Batman MOvie hitting theaters next month, why not have your own little Batman with you while watching the movie.

Deluxe Small (4-6)
Deluxe Medium (7-8)
Deluxe Large (10-12)

If you love X-Men, then you should check out what Henry Pinto has created the past few months. Many hours were put in to create this minifigure-scale LEGO Sentinel and is the most impressive one I’ve seen. I’ve been following Henry’s progress of creating the mutant-hunting robot on social media and I’ve looked forward to seeing the finished product. If only LEGO would release something like this as an official product but we can only dream. Check out the progress of the Sentinel in the link above.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522) Polybag Review

January 9, 2017 / / 2 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

Following up on my review of The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523) polybag, I have another one that was sent in by LEGO for review which is the Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522). This 59 piece polybag is now available at Target stores in the Valentine’s section for $3.99.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

Minifigure

Batman is the same version as in the clayface Splat Attack (70904) and the Scarecrow Special Delivery (70910). He has the usual black suit with a smirk and angry grimace. His accessory is a Batarang.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

Build

The only part of the build is the what appears to be the Phantom Zone. If you’re not familiar with the Phantom Zone, it’s a realm in the DC Superman Universe where it is used for a means of imprisonment. The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide has some little spoilers of why the Phantom Zone is in the movie which I won’t post here.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

The design of it is very complex looking especially for a polybag and uses two Travis bricks as part of the base of the build. There are a lot of dark red parts that are used such as some 1×3 plates, 1×1 clips, as well as some headlight bricks which are pretty rare so far. There’s also some trans-blue dishes on the outer edges.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522)

Around the outer sections are covered with lightsaber blades, harpoons, and claws. I don’t know about you but these seem like defense mechanisms of the Phantom Zone. Finally, there is a clear dish and antenna to … Continue

The LEGO Batman Movie Toys Coming to McDonald’s

January 8, 2017 / / 10 Comments

It looks like LEGO and McDonald’s will be teaming up again this year for some toys for The LEGO Batman Movie. I’ve been sent the above image showing a part of a Happy Meal box which shows there will be some sort of promotion for the movie next month but doesn’t say what it will be.

If you remember from 2014, LEGO did a McDonald’s promotion for The LEGO Movie with some Action Cups. Hopefully we get something similar or better for The LEGO Batman Movie. I’m sure fans would want some actual LEGO but that hasn’t happened for a long time.

If anyone knows the source of the image, please let me know and I’ll give proper credit.

Update: We now have our first look at the toys. Check them out here.

The new Toys R Us ad is now out and if you make a purchase of $30 or more on LEGO sets, you can get the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Krypto Saves the Day (30546) polybag for free. The promotion lasts until the end of the week but if there are any left over, you can purchase it outright. This polybag is also found at various Target locations for $3.99. Krypto also appears in the Lashina Tank (41233) but this is the cheapest way to get the figure.

The LEGO Batman Movie 2-in-1 Super Pack (66546)

January 8, 2017 / / 8 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie 2-in-1 Super Pack (66546)

It looks like there is an exclusive Walmart 2-in-1 Super Pack for The LEGO Batman Movie that has shown up online. The Super Pack includes The Joker Balloon Escape (70900) and The Riddler Riddle Racer (70903) but it also includes a poster that we haven’t seen before.

The only sketchy thing about the set is that it is listed at $89.98 which is way above the price if you combined the two sets which comes out to $44.98 and I’m pretty sure that the poster doesn’t cost $45 unless it is gold plated. You can use Brickseek to check if there’s any of the Super Packs around you but it looks like it’s only online at this time.

More The LEGO Batman Movie Character Images Found

January 6, 2017 / / 7 Comments

Polka Dot Man

The news doesn’t stop when it comes to The LEGO Batman Movie. Some internet sleuths have found some new images of a few characters that will be showing up in the movie but there’s reports of them coming in some summer 2017 sets as well.

First we have Polka Dot Man whom fans have been wanting a minifigure of since he was shown in the trailers. Well it looks like it may happen because there’s a rumor that he may be showing up in a future set.

Next up, we have Bane who we’ve seen before. He’ll be in a set that has a six-wheel vehicle of some sort.

Bane

Following that is Mutant Leader who is also rumored to be in the Bane set mentioned above.

Finally, you may have seen glimpse of them in the trailer but we also have some Flying Monkeys as well as the Wicked Witch. How they will be part of The LEGO Batman Movie remains to be seen but it sure is interesting.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523) Polybag Review

January 6, 2017 / / 5 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

One of The LEGO Batman Movie polybags that will be coming out in conjunction with the movie is The Joker Battle Training (30523). The only current way to get it is at LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers and on eBay. There’s been no information on how the 49 piece polybag will be further distributed at this time.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

Minifigure

The Joker is not an exclusive minifigure as it is the same as the one found in The Joker Balloon Escape (70900). He wears his signature purple suit as in the aforementioned Balloon Escape as well as in The Scuttler (70908). There’s even the long coattail piece that goes between the torso and legs which is also in the Ballon Escape. The double-sided head has expressions of an evil smile and a very happy smile.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

Build

There are three little builds to this polybag. The first is just the little stand for the Joker that also uses some red and white 1×2 tiles. The stand is pretty required as the gatling gun is front-heavy and he will have a hard time standing on his own.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Battle Training (30523)

The next build is his large six-stud gatling gun. The gun is a standard gun but there’s the large gatling gun barrel in the front. The studs are trans-green and you get a lot of spare ones too.

The last part of the polybag build is the Batman training dummy. The head isn’t really a head but just Batman’s cowl that … Continue

The LEGO Batman Movie Polybag Roundup

The LEGO Batman Movie

Many fans of The LEGO Batman Movie have been quite excited about the sets that have been released so far. There are also a lot of polybags to collect for the theme and some have already started to lose track of them so here’s a post to condense everything we know about them so far. I’ll continue to update this post if there are more polybags that show up.

The Mini Batmobile (30521)

There’s no word on the availability of The Mini Batmobile at this time but I’ll update this post when there’s news of it. You can check out my early review of the polybag here.

LEGO Message Boards Shutting Down in March

January 5, 2017 / / 6 Comments

After over a decade of being online, the official LEGO Message Boards will be shutting down on March 6. This move makes way for more of LEGO’s resources to go to LEGO Life which they’ve started to push more for. The message boards are still active but check out the announcement post for deadlines to do things on there.

To be honest, I’ve been on there once or twice but I didn’t really get into it that much and somehow I don’t think it appealed to adults as it did with younger kids. Were you a part of the LEGO Message Boards and are you surprised that it’ll be closing down in a few months?

After much consideration, a very difficult decision has been reached that the Mods need to share with you all. The LEGO.com Message Boards will be retired on March 6, 2017. The entire community, including all forums and all content within them, will be taken offline permanently.

Just like a LEGO set, theme, game, or site nothing can last forever. In order to make way for the exciting features of the future we must occasionally retire older features. That is the current case with the message boards.

The Mods would like to thank you all for being such amazing community members. Every forum is filled with creative, inspiring, and exciting writings thanks to you! We truly appreciate the passion each of you has contributed to this community and hope that LEGO passion will carry through this transitional time.

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268) Polybag Found

January 5, 2017 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268)

It looks like 2017 is the year of the astromech droids as far as LEGO Star Wars polybags are concerned. There has been a new R3-M2 (40268) polybag that’s the traditional minifigure version that’s been found in a Romanian monobrand store. Upon some research, R3-M2 is from Rogue One.

If you look closely, you can see that it’s on it’s own stand and has a plaque card on the back with the name tag appearing to be a sticker. There’s even a Technic pin on the side of the stand that suggests there could be more polybags like this in the future.

I have a feeling that the R3-M2 (40268) will be this year’s May the 4th polybag promotion.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) Building Instructions

LEGO Creator Mini VW Beetle (40252)

You may have seen an image of the LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) floating around the internet for the past few weeks or so. The set is basically a smaller version of the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) which was released last year. The set is currently available in Hong Kong with a purchase of HK$2800 (~US$360) but word is that it will be going to Europe later this month and who knows if it will reach North America.

Luckily for everyone, LEGO has uploaded the building instructions in PDF form. I’ve also posted an images of the parts list for reference. The Mini Volkswagen Beetle does include stickers so you won’t be able to recreate the set completely but you can still build it. Some of the dark azure parts are fairly rare as well so building it in a different color is recommended too and I feel that many of you will be doing this.

New LEGO Boost (17101) System Revealed

January 3, 2017 / / 3 Comments

Last week, I reported on LEGO’s teaser of an announcement coming tomorrow but it looks like Engadget has already revealed it. The announcement is for a new theme called LEGO Boost (17101) which is somewhat similar to LEGO Mindstorms but geared towards younger kids. The base starter set will be priced at $159.99 and will be available later this year.

The set will have three Boost bricks in addition to 840 LEGO elements. The core unit is called the Move Hub which has a six-axis tilt sensor, two input and output ports, a power button and a light that changes color which was teased before. Powered by six AAA batteries, the other Boost bricks also have a combination color and distance sensor as well as an interactive motor which includes a tachometer.

The set also has instructions for five other models including Vernie the Robot, Frankie the Cat, the Guitar 4000, the Multi-Tool Rover 4, and an Autobuilder. To make the whole system work, there’s also a companion LEGO Boost app for you to download. The app is actually required as it has all the building instructions for the models as well as the programming.

You can read more about the details of individual models for LEGO Boost in the link above.

New Rumors of LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon Coming

January 3, 2017 / / 63 Comments

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Star Wars and rumors have started to swirl about a LEGO Star Wars UCS set that has been rumored for a while. It’s pretty easy from the image above that it’s the Millennium Falcon. There are various users on Eurobricks who have some information about the new UCS Millennium Falcon. Paperballpark mentions that it’ll have interchagable radar dishes, one round and one rectangular, so you can display it as it is shown in Episodes 4-6 or in Episode 7.

To give more speculation on the UCS Millennium Falcon, the box on the updated UCS Death Star (75159)icon shows a blacked out silhouette of the Falcon on the bottom left corner that is more prominent than the silhouettes of the other ships. This could absolutely mean nothing at all or LEGO could be hinting at it for a while.

Given that the original 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon is one of the most definitive sets in LEGO Star Wars history and a holy grail for many fans, a new one would be great news. Fans weren’t too happy with the re-release of the Death Star since it wasn’t retired for that long but it’s safe to say that they would welcome a re-release of the UCS Falcon with open arms and wallets. There are many factors that contribute to the set being legit such as the Star Wars 40th anniversary and reports from good sources like Paperballpark and a “friend” that makes me think the set will be coming sooner than … Continue

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) Polybag Building Instructions

January 3, 2017 / / 12 Comments

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

A few days ago, I reported on a new LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag. This was a brick-built version of the droid which looks very cute. It looks like the instructions for the build are now online. It looks all the parts are fairly common except for the couple of printed 1×1 tile pieces for the front, which are exclusive. So if you already have all the parts, you can building R2-D2 pretty easily but have to do without the detailing in the front.

The LEGO Batman Movie Easter Bunny Batman LED Lite

The LEGO Batman Movie Easter Bunny Batman LED Lite

If you didn’t there wasn’t enough variants of Batman to collect for The LEGO Batman Movie, there’s a new Easter Bunny Batman to get. The only downside of it is that it is not a standard size minifigure but a larger LED Lite which is now available on Amazon. There’s no word on whether this variant will become an actual minifigure but I doubt it.

LEGO Architecture Guggenheim Museum (21035) Revealed

January 2, 2017 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Architecture Guggenheim Museum 21035

The LEGO Architecture theme will be continuing this year and it looks like we have our first look at the Guggenheim Museum (21035) from the LEGO Italian Catalog. This updated version is larger and more detailed than the 2009 version. I believe this the second LEGO Architecture set to be redesigned from one that has been released before with the first being the Burj Khalifa (21008).

The new Guggenheim Museum (21305) joins Sydney (21302), Chicago (21033), and London (21035) as lineup for the Winter 2017 LEGO Architecture sets.

How to Get The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack

January 1, 2017 / / 11 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack

A few days ago, I reported on a new The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack polybag. A reader has given some information on how to get this particular polybag. If you checked out the January 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, there is an in-store event that starts from January 2-February 26. From what I’ve been told, they’ll be little stickers of Batman hidden throughout the store and if you find them all, you can get one of these polybags.

As you can see from the image above, the Accessory Pack consists of Batman and the Batsignal along with a sticker sheet and a double-sided poster with the heroes on one side and the villains on the other.

It looks like there will be plenty of The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Packs available since the event goes on for two month however those not close to a LEGO Store will probably have to get it from another source.

Thanks to Purple Dave for the heads up.

Update: I’ve had people say that this promotion won’t start until later in the month while I’ve heard others say they’ve gotten it. I guess it depends if the individual stores have everything set up or not. You may wamt to call and see if they’re ready.

If you’re using LDraw as for your virtual LEGO building, you’ll be glad to hear that there is a new parts update that has been released for the program. This update adds 475 new parts to the catalog while adding 572 new files to the core library. Check out the press release below to see the details of this update.

Thanks are of course due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release, including several first-time authors. The reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the parts tracker and deserve just as much credit.

LEGO Ideas Volkswagen Golf MK1 GTI Achieves 10,000 Supporters

January 1, 2017 / / 0 Comments

This is actually an older LEGO Ideas project that achieved 10,000 supporters but it hit the mark during Thanksgiving and I didn’t see it so here’s a post giving it some recognition. The Volkswagen Golf MK1 GTI project by hasskabal only took six weeks to get 10,000 supporters and it is the third most viewed project, as of this post, only behind Minecraft and Back to the Future – DeLorean Time Machine.

The project proposes 1,278 pieces and it is a replicate of the classic 1970’s Volkswagen Golf MK1 GTI. As you can see from the image below, the size of the car is about the same as other LEGO Creator vehicles that have already been released.

The Volkswagen Golf MK1 GTI now joins Boat Repair Shop, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Bus” Hulkbuster UCS, LEGO Store Modular Version, Red Dwarf, Landrover 4×4, Vintage Tram, 1950’s Diner, Ship in a Bottle, The Flagship Leviathan, Rey’s Speeder, and The Iron Giant as the projects that qualify the Third 2016 Review Stage.

The Brick Fan 2016 Recap

January 1, 2017 / / 1 Comment

2016 went by just like that it was a very eventful year here on The Brick Fan. Like with previous years, I’m going to go take a look back at what happened on the site last year. Because I love looking at stats, there will be some of that.

We ended the year with 9,416,861 page views which remained steady from 2015. There was some growth in terms of unique visits which went up 3% from the previous year while first-time visitors also went up by 3%.

Monthly-wise, we averaged about 780.000 views per month with January being busiest month when we hit 1 million page views for the first time ever. Hopefully we can replicate that this year with the Toy Fairs coming up. Our highest recorded day was January 26 when we had 65,906 views.

Since we’re in the age of technology, one new thing that we’re taking a look at is devices used to view the site. Mobile devices used actually increased by 15% from 2015, while desktop and tablet use decreased by 6% and 10%, respectively. This means that many of you are switching to your mobile devices to check out the site instead of the traditional route. I have a feeling that this trend will be continuing for 2017.

As far as social media is concerned, we’ve been a little more active on various sites. Over on our Facebook Page, we ended the year with 11,153 likes which was a 39% increase from 2015.

On Twitter, we had 6,758 … Continue

The Brick Fan Top 10 LEGO Reviews in 2016

December 31, 2016 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I did a post on the most viewed LEGO posts in 2016 and today I have the most viewed reviews of the year. There were 828 sets released in 2016 and I’ve reviewed 79 different LEGO items from a number of themes although there were a lot more that I wanted to do but didn’t have the time to build.

1. The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017)

One of the more recent reviews of the year but still managed to make the top spot was The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017). They won’t officially be released until January 1 but you can probably find them in stores now.

2. LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098)

The UCS Assault on Hoth (75098) was one of the more controversial sets of 2016 mainly because of the “UCS” tag that it was given. Even so, it was the second most read review of 2016.

3. LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056)

My first ever Technic build and review did not disappoint. If you want a set that has everything you could want in a set from design to packaging, then the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the way to go.

4. LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012)

The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures were pretty popular this year and it seemed that many people read up on my review of them.

December 31, 2016 / / 3 Comments

Today has been a pretty busy day news-wise. The Iron Giant by BrettCuv is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is based on the highly popular animated film of the same name. The project proposes five of the main characters including Hogarth Hughes, Annie Hughes, Kent Mansley, Dean McCoppin, and of course The Iron Giant who is fully articulated. The entire build consists of a little over 2,000 pieces.

The Iron Giant now joins Boat Repair Shop, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Bus” Hulkbuster UCS, LEGO Store Modular Version, Red Dwarf, Landrover 4×4, Vintage Tram, 1950’s Diner, Ship in a Bottle, The Flagship Leviathan, and Rey’s Speeder as the projects that qualify the Third 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

It looks like we have a cool little LEGO Star Wars polybag to find next year. A reader has posted the above image of a new LEGO Star Wars brick-built R2-D2 (30611) polybag on our Facebook Page. There’s no word on the origins of the image or how to obtain this polybag at this time but I can say that it will be a pretty popular one when it is available.

Update: It seems that the initial images was found over at Minifigure Price Guide.

LEGO Releasing New Super Heroes BrickHeadz Theme in February

December 31, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Earlier I did a post about The LEGO Batman Movie Character Posters from the February 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and some keen eyed readers saw that VIPs would get early access to a LEGO theme starting on February 15. Rumor has it that the new theme is actually the LEGO Super Heroes BrickHeadz sets which were first announced during San Diego Comic Con.

I believe the ones coming out for general release are the same characters that we’ve seen before but not sure if they will be coming individually or in two packs, without the SDCC markings, so hopefully LEGO will be announcing something in January or early February.

The LEGO Batman Movie Character Movie Posters in February

December 31, 2016 / / 1 Comment

February is The LEGO Batman Movie month and all month long at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, they will be giving away free posters with any purchase. The posters are four of the character posters for the movie which I’ve reported on before. The characters include:

Harley Quinn – February 1-5
Batman – February 6-12
Batgirl – February 13-19
Robin – February 20-26

Surprisingly, the Joker isn’t one of the posters that will be given away which is strange because he’s one of the main antagonists of The LEGO Batman Movie.

The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607) Polybag Promotion in February

December 31, 2016 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Stores have already started passing out the February 2017 Store Calendar and we can now confirm that The LEGO Batman Movie Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607) polybag will be part of a promotion for the month. You can get the exclusive polybag for free with purchases of $75 or more from February 10-28, while supplies last. As you can see, the polybag contains two new variants of Batman in some colorful outfits.

There will be a lot of the winter 2017 sets available by then so if you want to get the Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607) polybag, I suggest doing it early in the promotional period in case stock runs out quickly.
