The LEGO Batman Movie Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman (5004928)

It seems that we keep finding new items for The LEGO Batman Movie. Online shop Brickshop.nl has posted another new polybag and this time it’s the Kiss Kiss Tuxedo Batman (5004928) keychain. Over on their site, it’s a promotional polybag for them but there’s no word on how other parts of the world can get it.

The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack Found

The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Pack

Well it looks like we’ll have another polybag to forward to for The LEGO Batman Movie. A reader has posted an image on our Facebook Page showing off what appears to be an accessory pack similar to the one we got for The LEGO Movie (5002041). The 41 piece polybag includes a Batman minifigure along with the Batsignal as well as a sticker sheet as well as some items I can’t tell what they are.

I’m assuming this polybag will be available in February as a gift with purchase as the January 2016 LEGO Store Calendar doesn’t show anything on there for it. We’ll see when the February calendar is available in a few day.

Thanks to Alan for the heads up.

I’ve been told that Target has transferred some of The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30533) polybags to the Valentine’s section at Target stores. They are going for $3.99 each but if you want to wait until after Valentine’s, they usually are on sale, if there’s any left.

December 29, 2016 / / 0 Comments

We’re winding down 2016 and it’s time to continue with my “Top 10” lists and this time it’s for the most viewed LEGO posts of the year. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love to look at statistics. In regards to what the top posts were this year, I was actually a little surprised to see what showed up on my analytics.

1. LEGO Winter 207 Rumored Set List

As usual, you guys like reading up about some of the LEGO sets that we’ll be getting in the future. This list came out in August so some of the sets have already hit store shelves and online.

2. LEGO Nuremberg Toy Fair 2016 Set Images

Not surprisingly, the toy fair season has everyone hyped for it since we get our first look at the spring and summer sets.

3. LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store Achieves 10,000 Supporters

This post really took my by surprise as to how high it is on this list. This project was eventually announced that it will become an official LEGO Ideas set that will be coming out in Fall 2017.

4. LEGO November 2016 Store Calendar Promotions & Events

Another post that came out in the second half of the year which many people read up on a lot. Most were excited for the Snowglobe and Nutcracker Ornament GWPs.

The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide Shows Rumored Summer 2017 Sets

December 28, 2016 / / 17 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide

I’ve just picked up the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide and in it, there are images of some rumored summer 2017 sets that I’ve previously reported on.

The first is the Batwing that is said to be released. The book calls this version of the Batwing the “Black Thunder.” Further along in the book in the villains section, we get a look at some of the other sets that were rumored to come out in the summer. The first is Two-Face with his wrecking machine. Next to him is Harley Quinn with her vehicle with a cannon that was going to be a part of the Black Thunder Batwing set. On the next page, we get a look at the Scarecrow Scarecopter. Finally, there’s a look at the Bane bigfig along with his six-wheel vehicle.

You can now purchase The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide over on Amazon but the Barnes & Noble version also includes a poster with it. I’ll review the book in the next few days.

The perfect companion to LEGO Batman’s first solo movie, The LEGO® Batman™ Movie: The Essential Guide showcases the full range of exciting LEGO Batman sets and minifigures that will be released to tie in with the film’s release. Heroes, villains, vehicles, and locations are all explored in classic DK style, with lively and informative nonfiction text to annotate and expand upon lavish reference images of LEGO Batman sets and scenes from the movie.

LEGO to Announce New Play Experience January 4

December 28, 2016 / / 2 Comments

For the past week, LEGO has been teasing on Facebook about a new play experience that boosts creativity. The first video just shows a flashing vertical light bar while a new video today shows a flashing RGB light with some more non-flashing lights. They also announced that whatever this is will be revealed next Wednesday, January 4. My guess is that it could be a new LEGO Mindstorms since the EV3 (31313) was released back in 2013 and it’s probably due time for a new version. What are you guys’ guesses on what this new thing is? Let us know in the comments below.

Top 10 LEGO 2016 Sets

December 28, 2016 / / 2 Comments

I’ve had quite a few readers asking if I would do a post about my top 10 LEGO sets of 2016. Since this is the last week of the year, I guess this is now a good time to do that post. According to Brickset, there was 828 sets released this year, including gift with purchase sets, so whittling it down to 10 is quite hard to do. Again, this is just my list of top 10 sets and may vary from other people.

10. LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827)

Probably one of the best items for any Ghostbusters fan is the Firehouse Headquarters (75827). Coming in at over 4,600 pieces, there is a ton of little details from both the original Ghostbusters movies that you can find. Check out my review of the set here.

Amazon | Shop@Homeicon

9. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057)

As one of the largest non-D2C LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set to be released, the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) is a great set with lots of exclusive minifigures included such as Scarlet Spider and Kraven. Many fans have even bought two sets to make a complete bridge.

Amazon | Shop@Homeicon

8. LEGO Creator Vacation Getaways (31052)

This 3-in-1 set is a pretty neat set that looks great as the standard model but can also be rebuilt into a summer home and a yacht. The RV is one of the best models of this type of vehicle I’ve seen.

LEGO Dimensions Upcoming Expansion Packs Datamined

December 27, 2016 / / 10 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Teen Titans Go!

Here’s something very interesting coming from one of our readers who have shared some information about some upcoming LEGO Dimensions expansion packs. We already knew that we would be getting expansion packs from franchises such as Teen Titans Go! and LEGO City Undercover when it was first announced.

A reader did some datamining and found some expansion packs that would be coming out for some franchises. Looking at the info, it looks like LEGO City: Undercover will be a Chase McCain Fun Pack while Teen Titans Go! will be a Team Pack which includes both Raven and Beast Boy. For that set, it’ll be either 71254 or 71255. There’s also some details of the Powerpuff Girls which will include all three characters of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. No word about which expansion pack(s) they will be in.

What’s most interesting out of the screenshot is the Lord Vortech Fun Pack which could mean that we’ll finally be getting a Lord Vortech minifigure which fans have been asking for since LEGO Dimensions was first released. Of course, this could be just dummy info to throw everyone off but we’ll see.

Thanks to Matthew for the info.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929)

It looks like there’s another The LEGO Batman Movie polybag to search for in the near future. Delta Customs over on Instagram has posted what appears to be an Asian exclusive polybag featuring Batman in his yellow striped tuxedo in some sort of vault case with some accessories. No word on how to get it but it looks pretty neat.

Update: It looks like the polybag will be called the Batman Battle Pod (5004929). It is listed on the LEGO Hong Kong Facebook Page that it will be a GWP with a purchase threshold.

LEGO 2016 Employee Exclusive 50 Years on Track (4002016) Revealed

December 26, 2016 / / 3 Comments

LEGO 2016 Employee Exclusive 50 Years on Track (4002016)

Now that Christmas is over, I’ve been waiting a few weeks to post this set since images of it first showed up online but I didn’t want to spoil it for the LEGO employees who haven’t received theirs yet. The 2016 LEGO employee exclusive set is called 50 Years on Track (4002016) and it has a whopping 1,141 pieces. The set celebrates six decades of LEGO trains since it was first released in 1966 and it features six different types of trains through the years including:

Motorized Train Set – 1966
Western Train – 1976
Monorail Transport System – 1987
Metroliner – 1991
Emerald Night – 2009
Winter Holiday Train – 2016

Again, the only legit way to get the 50 Years on Track (4002016) set was to be a LEGO employee which also includes LEGO Brand Store associates but that doesn’t stop it from hitting the secondary market such as eBay where it is going for around $250. For those LEGO employees who kept theirs, congratulations as this is a great set especially for LEGO train fans.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524) Polybag Review

December 25, 2016 / / 1 Comment

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

If you checked out the January 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, you can get The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524) polybag for free with purchases of $35 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from December 27 – January 15. I’ve gotten my hands on one courtesy of LEGO and here’s a little review of it.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

The polybag has 79 pieces and the build is actually not that bad. There’s a pretty nice parts selection including the black shield pieces, some 1x2x2 sloped pieces, and 2×2 wedge plates. The majority of the Batwing is standard building using the sloped pieces to give it a sleek look. The front sloped grill pieces looks cool as well. The front cockpit utilizes a modified 1X2X2/3 brick along with the 2×2 wedge plates which attaches to the 1×2 plate with handle.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

The last part of the build are the large wings that uses the shield pieces towards the inner areas. They attach to the hull using hinges which allows the wings to fold horizontal to vertical and everything in between.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524)

Overall, The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30524) polybag is actually a really nice polybag that you can get fairly easily in a few days. It looks good compared to the one seen in the latest trailer and rumor has it that a larger counterpart will be coming in Summer 2017.

LEGO Ideas Adventure Time (21308)

Back in July, we got our first good look at the next LEGO Ideas set that would be coming out with the Adventure Time (21308) brick-built characters. The set is inspired by Ludovic Piraud whose project hit 10,000 supporters back in May 2015. Here we are now with the set ready to be released on January 2017.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521) Polybag Review

December 24, 2016 / / 6 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

Continuing with my reviews of The LEGO Batman Movie sets, I actually have one of the new polybags that we haven’t seen yet, The Mini Batmobile (30521). It contains 68 pieces but there’s no word on pricing but I assume it could be $3.99 each.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

This Batmobile is the miniature version of the 70905 set that is already available in stores. The base of the vehicle is a 2×4 Technic plate with pins that is oriented lengthwise. The ends uses a couple of 1×2 Technic bricks with half beam holes that are held in place with some plates.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

The front uses a Batarang for the ornament while it uses a black shield piece for the canopy top and a droid head for the exhaust. The wings on the sides can fold down on the hinges but nothing too spectacular.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

The Mini Batmobile can also change to the monster truck mode but it requires you to take off the 1×2 Technic beam and reorient it vertically.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521)

Overall, The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batmobile (30521) polybag isn’t too bad of a set considering that miniature models of larger sets do not translate as well. If you’re a collector of polybags, I think this one is a good one to pick up when it is available. Again, there’s no word yet on where or when that is at this time.

The UCS Rey´s Speeder by Robert Lundmark is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is actually an unprecedented moment on LEGO Ideas because this is the third project today to hit 10k, which hasn’t happened before, joining the 1950’s Diner and The Ship in a Bottle, The Flagship Leviathan from earlier. As the project suggest, this is a larger version of Rey’s Speeder from Star Wars: The Force Awakens which has more detail than the standard 75099 set.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522) Polybag Showing Up at Target

December 20, 2016 / / 0 Comments

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

There are a number of reports as well as emails coming in letting me know that The LEGO Batman Movie Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522) polybag is now starting to show up at Target stores. They are going for $3.99 each and can be found at the checkout lanes in the impulse sections. The DPCI is 204-00-0090 but that’s the same for all their polybags so that doesn’t help much. Personally, I went to two different Targets here in San Diego and haven’t found them yet so they may not have rolled out at all the stores yet.

The Phantom Zone is part of the DC Universe that is used to imprison criminals so I’m interested to see how it fits into The LEGO Batman Movie.

LEGO Pick-a-Brick Fan Favorite

If you’ve been in a LEGO Brand Store here in the US and have checked out the Pick & Build Wall, you may have noticed some elements on the wall has a decal indicating that they they are “Fan Favorites.” LEGO has announced on the Ambassador Network that the program will be continuing through 2018. The 2017 elements have been already selected but they are reaching out to help find the best selection of elements for 2018.

The LEGO Batman Movie

It looks like there will be a lot of The LEGO Batman Movie posters coming out in the near future. There’s no word on a release date but I’m assuming they’ll be available at retailers in early 2017. If you look closely at one of the posters featuring some of the villains, you can see Bane riding an orange 4×4. Could this be one of the rumored summer 2017 sets?

LEGO Nexo Knights Combo NEXO Powers Wave 1 (70372) Blind Bags

December 16, 2016 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Nexo Knights Combo NEXO Powers Wave 1 (70372)

Here’s something that’s new coming for 2017. LEGO will be releasing Wave 1 of some blind bags for the Nexo Knights theme called Combo NEXO Powers (70372) for fans to collect. Each blind bag will have five mystery NEXO powers which you can scan into the MERLOK 2.0 app. This first wave has 35 to collect so I’m assuming there will be more waves coming in the future.

I’m hearing they are starting to show up now at Target stores for $3.99 which is a little bit on the high side but if you’re a Nexo Knights fan, this may be something for you.

Furthermore, Just2Good has found some and has done an opening for them if you want to check it out.

LEGO Nexo Knights Combo NEXO Powers Wave 1 (70372)

Collect and combine the NEXO Powers to defeat Monstrox!

Open the bag to reveal the five ‘mystery’ NEXO Powers, then create your own way of defeating the enemy by combining three NEXO Powers into one. Place the NEXO Powers in the included Combo NEXO Power shield, then scan into the free LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ MERLOK 2.0 app and bring your creation to life in the digital game.

Features five mystery NEXO Powers, each in a different color (red, green, blue, yellow and white), plus a Combo NEXO Power shield.

Scan the shields to create your own combination to defeat Monstrox and the Stone monsters in the LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™: Merlok 2.0 app.

Connect Combo NEXO Power shields together with the connecting elements and build your own unique structures.

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

December 15, 2016 / / 2 Comments

I’ve held off reporting on this a few days ago but it seems that other sites are also reporting on it as well. A Macau toy store called Digibee has posted an image of a new The LEGO Batman Movie polybag called Disco Batman/Tears of Batman (30607). The polybag includes two new variants of Batman in some very eccentric outfits. There’s no mentioning of the distribution of the polybag but I’ve seen rumors on Instagram that the polybag will be given out at theaters, similar to what they did with The LEGO Movie polybags.

The polybag joins a number of other polybags that will be released in conjunction with the movie including Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522), The Joker Battle Training (30523), and Mini Batwing (30524). Again, no word on the distribution of those except for the Mini Batwing when you can get it for free with purchases of $35 or more starting on December 27.

There are now official images of the upcoming promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Gingerbread Man (5005156) minifigure box. You can get it for free with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from December 12-18. The box is similar to the Easter Minifigure (5004486) but decorated to his theme. The Gingerbread Man himself is not exclusive as he was released back in 2013 with Series 11 Collectible Minifigures (71002). The only difference is that this one does not have the red “Dunk Me” cup as an accessory.

For those who missed him a few years ago or got into LEGO after that set retired, next week is you best chance of getting him if you’re still doing some holiday shopping. Of course you can also BrickLink him but he commands around $10 for just the minifigure.

LEGO Star Wars Winter 2017 The Phantom (75150)

November 29, 2016 / / 4 Comments

LEGO Star Wars The Phantom (75150)

A few weeks ago, some official images of the winter 2017 LEGO Star Wars sets came out and one particular set was pretty intriguing. This set was The Phantom (75150) based on the Rebels series and one of the minifigures featured was Grand Admiral Thrawn. The image was pretty hard to see if he had the correct red eyes for him. Now more images have come out and we can now confirm that he does indeed have his red eyes which is a relief for many fans of the character. The one thing that isn’t correct is his insignia of Grand Admiral. The ranking on the minifigure only shows him as Admiral.

The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017) Feel Guide

November 26, 2016 / / 6 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017)

Earlier this week, LEGO officially announced the minifigure lineup for The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017). As usual with the Collectible Minifigures, here’s a feel guide for this series. Obviously, I can only go by the images but there are enough indicators for each minifigure to distinguish them. LEGO has changed it up again for this wave and there will be a total of 20 to collect. There’s no word on the distribution per box but I hope to have that info in the upcoming weeks.

Glam Metal Batman

This version of Batman has a guitar that should be easy to feel for. If not, you can also try for the spikes on the shoulder pads.

Clan of the Cave Batman

For this Batman, the spiked club is the only thing this identifies this version of him.

Vacation Batman

The inflatable duck should be the easier thing to feel for with the little duck head. There are also two flat flipper pieces that you could also use.

Fairy Batman

There are a number of things that you could feel for to find Fairy Batman including the skirt, the wings, and the wand.

Lobster Lovin’ Batman

The obvious item to feel for here is the lobster piece as well as the plate.

Catman

The easiest things to feel for are the two claw pieces. You can also try for the belt piece if you can’t find the claws.

Zodiac Master

For the Zodiac Master, the only defining items are the fish and crab pieces.

Dick Grayson

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Homecoming Rumored Set Details

November 25, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Delta Customs over on Instagram has provided some new rumored details of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Homecoming sets. There are two sets mentioned in the post with the first being some sort of bank robbery set. It contains Spider-Man and two robbers who have the words Avengers in their names. The other set mentioned is a car-type set. The minifigures that are said to be in that set include Spider-Man, Vulture with brick-built wings, Shocker, and Iron Man. There aren’t much details to go by but it’s interesting to see what we could be expecting to see next summer. Again, these are purely rumors until something official is released but Delta has been correct in these sort or things so it’s hard to go against.

LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285) Widespread Issues

November 25, 2016 / / 3 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285)

If you purchased the LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285) from Toys R Us and intend to use her in the game, you may want to return it or contact LEGO Dimensions Support as there has been reports of widespread issues with the NFC chip. Basically, the tags for Marceline herself are coming up empty and it contains no data for the system to detect. I’m hearing that this issue is only affecting North America and the ones in the UK seem to be fine.

As far as I know, TT Games has not acknowledged the issue publicly but Toys R Us has issued a stop sale on the Fun Packs and has started pulling them from the floor. The link for the TRU product page has also been taken down. If you see them available for purchase, I suggest don’t buy it until the issue is fixed. For those who just collect the minifigures and have no interest in playing the LEGO Dimensions itself, that doesn’t really matter but for those who do, I suggest contacting support in the link above to see about getting a replacement tag.

The LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City Activity Book

Amazon has finally started to release the final book covers for The LEGO Batman Movie and one of the books may be more interesting out of the list. What makes it interesting is that The LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City Activity Book will include a new exclusive Tartan Batman minifigure variant. As you can see from the image above, the Tartan Batman minifigure is sort of in a barbaric style with his torso while wielding a sword. You can pre-order the Activity Book now on Amazon and it will be available on January 31, 2017.

LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar

Starting next week from November 28-December 11, LEGO will be giving away a FREE LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last. Without spoiling the contents of the calendar, I can tell you that each month has a scene with minifigures that kids can color which you see a preview of on the back cover. There are also two sheets of stickers included as well.

If you have this year’s Wall Calendar, you’ll notice that this calendar doesn’t have any coupons for any future promotions. Unfortunately for next year, it doesn’t look like LEGO will be continuing with that promo, at least here in the US, which is bummer since there were some neat items on it even though they were small.

I feel that the LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar will be most beneficial for teachers as they can take apart the pages and photocopy the ones with the scenes for the kids. Thank you to the LEGO Shop@Home Affiliate Team for sending me one to review.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) Review

November 22, 2016 / / 9 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

We’re getting close to the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend and for the last couple of years, LEGO has been giving away some great holiday sets for their gift with purchase promo and it looks like 2016 continues the trend.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

For this year, LEGO will be giving away the Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) with purchases of $99 or more from November 25-28, while supplies last. VIP members already got early access to the set this past weekend. The Snowglobe consists of a 215 pieces which are in three un-numbered bags. If you check the parts inventory, there are a number of rare pieces in this set.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

The build of the Snowglobe is in three parts, the base, globe area, and the pull-out drawer.

The base is 8×8 house-type setting with windows on the sides and a hole in the front for the drawer later on.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

For the globe area, you have the Santa minifigure inside along with a Christmas tree. There are also fourteen 1×1 white round tiles to represent the snow.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

Lastly, you have the drawer which is also the front of the house complete with the door and torches. You’ll notice that when building the drawer, there are some unsightly yellow bricks that do not match the overall color scheme of the Snowglobe itself.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223)

Overall, the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) is a very neat set. Although we’ve seen some good sets during the holidays in the past, this year’s set is probably one of the best produced so far. The “snow” pieces don’t actually float but … Continue

LEGO City: Undercover

WB Games has announced that LEGO City: Undercover will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC/Steam in Spring 2017. If you remember, LEGO City: Undercover lets you take control of Chase McCain in sort of a toned down Grand Theft Auto-style game that was released for the Nintendo Wii U back in 2013.

If you’re a LEGO City collector, there was a Chase McCain Minifigure Polybag (5000281) that was released with pre-orders of the game and he was eventually released in the High Speed Chase (60007) and will be coming back again in 2017 with the High-Speed Chase (60138).

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223)

You may have probably seen on the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar that LEGO VIP members will have early access to Brick Friday offers as well as double VIP points. I can now confirm from my contact that the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) will be available starting tomorrow with purchases of $99 or more for both in stores and on Shop@Home.

Exclusive LEGO Lester Minifigure Limited to 275

November 17, 2016 / / 17 Comments

Earlier today on the other side of the pond, the new LEGO flagship store at Leicester Square opened up and members of the LEGO community were there to attend the pre-opening event. You can read up about the store over on Brickset but I want to focus on the Lester minifigure that was available for the AFOL attendees as well as for shoppers.

As you can see from the image above, there are only 275 LEGO Lester minifigures available which makes it one of the most rare minifigures ever produced. This puts Lester around the same level as the early exclusive San Diego Comic Con LEGO minifigures. Huw reported that the extremely limited number of Lester minifigures produced was because there wasn’t more bowler hat pieces due to it being out of production and whatever was left were used for it.

You still have a chance to win Lester when you make a purchase of £55 or more at the Leicester Square store until November 20 or while supplies last.

Red Dwarf Area Found in LEGO Dimensions

November 16, 2016 / / 6 Comments

Here’s something interesting coming out of Twitter earlier today. LEGO Dimensions designer/writer Joe Moore tweeted out an image of the Red Dwarf area which was found in the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack (71253). As we know, Red Dwarf isn’t an official LEGO license yet, as far was we know, however there was a Red Dwarf project that just hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas just last week.

Does this actually we’ll be getting a Red Dwarf expansion pack in the future? Not necessarily. If you remember from last year, there were stages that included the Jetsons and Flintstones but there weren’t any physical sets that came out of that so this could just be an easter egg like the previous ones.

There are now some official winter 2017 LEGO Juniors sets which comes out from Hoth Bricks. The sets use more LEGO licensed themes like DC Comics and Disney as well as some internal themes like Friends.

If you’re new to LEGO and are not familiar with the Juniors line, it’s a transitions theme for kids who have grown out of DUPLO and is an introduction to the standard LEGO bricks.

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204) Review

November 15, 2016 / / 4 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim's Feast (40204)

Thanksgiving is only a week away and to celebrate the holiday, LEGO has released the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204)icon. The set contains 163 pieces and normally retails for $9.99 but you can get it for half off on Shop@Home and at the LEGO Store. The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags and the instructions.

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim's Feast (40204)

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim's Feast (40204)

The build is pretty simple and like the set names states, it features a chubby pilgrim stuffing his face with some turkey while sitting on a a pumpkin. The legs are are hinges so they can be separated depending on what sitting position you want him at. The arms are on ball joints and they have a wide range of motion while each hand is holding a turkey drumstick. The head does not move and to me, he has a derpy expression. Some may say he looks creepy but I think it looks fine. One thing to note that the nose uses a 1×1 round tile in tan which is pretty rare since it is only available in two other 2016 sets.

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim's Feast (40204)

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim's Feast (40204)

Overall, I think the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204)icon is one of the better Seasonal sets that LEGO has released this year. Combine that with the lower price the set goes for now, it’s a good one to pick up.

LEGO Year of the Rooster 2017 Set Revealed

November 14, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Here’s something cool for the readers who follow the lunar calendar. 2017 will be the Year of the Rooster according to a Weixin post, a LEGO Year of the Rooster set will be given away to those who were born in those particular years (1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017) via a voucher at the Shanghai LEGO Store from January 13-22. For those in other parts of the world who want one, it’s most likely you won’t find it available unless you purchase it off the secondary market.

LEGO continues to please the Asian market with these sets based on the years of the Chinese zodiac. In 2013, the Year of the Snake (10250) was released. In 2015, fans had the Year of the Sheep (40148) while this year had the Year of the Monkey (40207). Now I just have to wait until 2018 for my Year of the Dog set, if there is one.

The LEGO Batman Movie Sets Showing Up at Target

November 11, 2016 / / 5 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie sets have started showing up at various Target stores and someone on Eurobricks was able to purchase the set and they have showed off some of the unannounced sets in the back of the instructions. The first set is Clayface Splat Attack (70904) which is the set with the brick-built Clayface as well as Batman and the Mayor. In the same thread, an image of set 70910 is shown off that features a motorcycle pizza delivery with Scarecrow, Batman, and a security guard. The set can combine with The Joker Balloon Escape (70900) and Mr. Freeze Ice Attack (70901) to create a larger playset.

Keep in mind the official release for some of The LEGO Batman Movie sets aren’t until December so Target may not sell them to you even if they are displayed already. Someone over on Reddit has found the DPCI numbers for the sets if you want to go searching for them.

The Red Dwarf LEGO project by Legobob32 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the cult British comedy of the same name.

The RED crew quarters décor from season X, the Holly Hop Drive from season II, the space craft Blue Midget and the male incarnation of Holly.”

The Red Dwarf now joins Boat Repair Shop, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “The Bus” Hulkbuster UCS, and LEGO Store Modular Version as the projects that qualify the Third 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Ninjago Stone Armor Cole (5004393) Now Available as Toys R Us Promo

November 7, 2016 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Ninjago Cole (5004393)

A few weeks ago, I reported the LEGO Ninjago Stone Armor Cole (5004393) was found at Toys R Us stores here in the US. It looks like the promotion for the minifigure has begun. From now until November 11, you can get it for free with LEGO purchases of $30 or more. TRU was hiding them behind the registers and if you don’t get it when you check out, ask for it. The item number for it is 313133.

I asked my store if they would sell it individually and they gave me a strict no on that. I’ve seen images of stores selling it by itself for $6.99/$7.99 each so your mileage may vary and depends on how lenient your store is. Also they said that after the promotion ends, they would not sell the leftovers like they do with the minifigure polybags and the LEGO representative will come by and take them back. If this is the case, hopefully we’ll see some sort of LEGO promo next year for it. If you remember, LEGO did that with the Easter Minifigure (5004468) aka the Chicken Suit Guy earlier this year.

How to Get the Exclusive LEGO Lester Minifigure Revealed

November 7, 2016 / / 9 Comments

LEGO Lester

If you’ve been wanting to know how to get the exclusive Lester minifigure for the grand opening of the flagship LEGO Brand Store in Leicester Square, Brickset has given the details.

For every purchase over £55 during November 16-20, you’ll be given a scratch card. There, you’ll be given a chance to win either the LEGO Lester minifigure or the LEGO Creator Parrot (30472) polybag. This move by LEGO is very questionable and will certainly be met with disappointment by fans. This will also feed the secondary market and make this minifigure a pretty pricey one. Hopefully, this isn’t a beginning of a trend with the scratchers.

LEGO Lester

Back in September, it was revealed that UK’s new flagship LEGO Brand Store in Leicaster Square with have a mascot named Lester. There is now an image that has been released of Lester in actual minifigure form coming from LEGO’s social media sites.

Anyways, Lester looks pretty much exactly like what we saw in the reveal image with him having a suit with the Union Jack design and a bowler hat. The image also shows with with an umbrella and a camera but I’m not sure if they come with it, if it is released. There’s still no word on how you can obtain the minifigure but I’m sure LEGO will be announcing something as we get to the store opening date of November 17.

LEGO Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420) Review

November 2, 2016 / / 2 Comments

LEGO Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420)

The past few years, LEGO has released exclusive ornaments as part of promotions and for 2016, they’ve continued to do so with the LEGO Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420). It is currently available for free with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last. The Toy Soldier is the largest of these types of ornaments to be released coming in at 34 pieces.

Like with the previous ornaments, the Toy Soldier comes in a resealable package which holds the blue fabric bag the parts are in. The contents include two small bags this time, the instructions, and the string.

LEGO Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420)

The build is pretty straightforward as you build from the bottom up. I do like the use of the 1×2 plate with the handles on the sides for his moustache. When we first saw an image of the set, we couldn’t see if it included the printed tile for the year but sure enough we do get a printed 2×2 tile with 2016 on it.

If you can’t get the Toy Soldier Ornament for whatever reason, you can build your own with the instructions below, minus the exclusive 2016 2×2 tile.

LEGO Architecture Buckingham Palace (21029)

Following after my review of the LEGO Architecture United States Capitol Building (21030), I have the other summer 2016 release set with the Buckingham Palace (21029). Coming in at 780 pieces while retailing for $49.99, it has a $0.06/piece ratio but that may be a little misleading which I’ll get to a little later. The contents of the box include five un-numbered bags, three loose 8×16 plates, and the instruction booklet.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420)

There are now official images of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420) that have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers. We first saw an image of it a few months ago but didn’t know how to acquire it until the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar was revealed. You can get it next starting November 1 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last.

LEGO continues the tradition of releasing these ornaments as a promotional gift for 2016. In 2014, they released the Train (5002813) while 2015 had the Christmas Tree (5003083). Both of the previous sets had exclusive printed tiles of the years. The official images for the Toy Soldier doesn’t show a tile for 2016 but hopefully, it’ll be on the back of the build which we can’t see at the moment.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange

Earlier today, LEGO posted a poster of the first Doctor Strange movie poster but in LEGO form as they usually do. The poster features Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange standing in front of the window of his Sanctum Sanctorum.

LEGO Ninjago Stone Armor Cole (5004393) Reportedly Available at Toys R Us

October 25, 2016 / / 10 Comments

A reader has sent in some information about the LEGO Ninjago Cole (5004393) minifigure box which was revealed back in June. They have stated that they found them in stock at Toys R Us and are available for purchase for $7.99 each. I believe Toys R Us Canada has it available for free with qualifying LEGO purchases of $25 or more this week.

If you’re not familiar with this version of Cole, it is the Stone armor version of the character in the Rebooted storyline from a few years ago and hasn’t been released before. The box itself is similar to the LEGO Nexo Knights King’s Guard (5004390) which opens up in the middle to reveal the minifigure along with a background of the theme. It was given away as part of a voucher promotion from the 2016 LEGO Calendar. The December 2016 LEGO Calendar does show that will be getting a 2017 Wall Calendar but there’s no word on whether there will be any redeemable vouchers like they did in recent years.

As mentioned before, the LEGO Ninjago Stone Armor Cole (5004393) minifigure box was found at a Toys R Us store but your mileage may vary at this time. I’ll try to check the system at work tomorrow to see if I can find out the item number for it or if someone knows the number, please let us know in the comments. I’ll also try to see if there are any upcoming promos here for it as well.

More The LEGO Batman Movie Vehicles Shown Off

The LEGO Batman Movie

Earlier today, Warner Bros. has released a new image for The LEGO Batman Movie which shows off some of his vehicles. We already know of the new Batmobile but the image also shows the classic style Batmobile. Also in the image appears to be some sort of jet, pirate ship, and a hovercraft. Whether or not these vehicles will be in a set remains to be seen but we know there will be at least 12 more sets that don’t have set names or images yet so the vehicles could be one of them.

Long-time reader Daniel has emailed in letting us know that LEGO Shop@Home UK has updated their Retiring Soonicon page and there are some sets that you may want to pick up before they’re gone forever. The US page hasn’t been updated yet but the UK page lets us know which sets will be next to go soon.

LEGO sets usually have a one to two year shelf life while some sets sometimes can last a lot longer while others may be pulled within a year so it’s kind of hard for regular shoppers to guage what sets may be on the shelves.

Below is a list of current sets that have been listed on the UK Retiring Soon page. If you’ve been on the fence on picking them up, now would be a great time to especially with the Double VIP Points event going on. Amazon also has some decent sales on the sets if you prefer that route.

LEGO Disney Moana on the High Seas (41150)

It’s kind of hard to tell from the image but the set has a little island area as well as a little raft with a sail. You also get the Moana minidoll as well as the Maui bigfig.

The calendar states that the set will be available in December and there’s another set coming in 2017. What do you guys think of the set? Does it strike your fancy?

LEGO Gingerbread Man (5005156) Coming Back for Limited Time in December

October 20, 2016 / / 2 Comments

LEGO Gingerbread Man (5005156)

Earlier today, I reported on December 2016 LEGO Store Calendar and there’s some interesting news that comes from that. The first one I’ll be reporting on this the return of the free Gingerbread Man (5005156) with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from December 12-18.

The Gingerbread Man minifigure itself is not new as it was in the Series 11 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71002) but it does not have the red “Dunk Me!” cup. However, it does come with a decorative box in the form of a Gingerbread House similar the Easter Minifigure (5004468) from earlier this year.

So if you missed out on the Gingerbread Man minifigure from three years ago, December will be your best chance to get one, outside of the secondary market. It’s currently going for $10+ over on BrickLink. The promotion will last seven days but I have a feeling that it’ll be sold out before that so get your orders in early. Hopefully we’ll be able to find it at Toys R Us as well like with the Easter Chicken which as able to be purchased individually at $4.99 each.

LEGO Star Wars Summer 2017 Rumored Sets

October 16, 2016 / / 4 Comments

There are more rumors of some LEGO Summer 2017 sets and this time it’s for LEGO Star Wars courtesy of Hoth Bricks.

There are two more sets for The Force Awakens with the Quadjumper and the Guavian Death Gang. There’s also some more Freemaker Adventure sets which is interesting to see since there was only a small initial wave.

There’s also the two Battle Packs which makes sense since there’s only two coming out in the winter wave instead of the usual four.

The Imperial Hovertank is a headscratcher since there’s already one for the Rogue One wave but I’ve heard that it could be from the the Battlefront game.

The Rebel Hanger could be a store exclusive as it was revealed on Brickset and not from Hoth Bricks. The Vader Transformation set will be the first standalone set for this scene since 2005 although we saw part of it in Emperor Palpatine’s Shuttle back in 2010.

Episode 4-7 Battle Pack (75166) – 15€
Episode 4-7 Battle Pack (75167) – 15€
Quadjumper (75178) – 60€

More The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017) Rumors

October 13, 2016 / / 2 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie

We already know there will be a line of The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017) which will have 20 minifigures in the wave but there’s some new information coming out of Eurobricks for them. Delta Customs has stated there will be 7 different Batsuits, 10 villains, and 3 neutral characters.

If you watched the SDCC trailer, there were a lot of Batsuits that were shown in less than 10 seconds so any of them could be one of the minifigures in the set and maybe even some that weren’t even shown in the trailer. As for the villains, we’ve already seen plenty of them in the sets that have been revealed so far but director Chris McKay has stated that the Rogues Gallery will be filled out in LEGO so there’s plenty of villains to choose from. As for the neutral characters, that could be just anyone’s guess.

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

October 13, 2016 / / 1 Comment

**Image has been removed by LEGO’s request.**

It looks like the news today will be geared more for The LEGO Batman Movie. First up is a new polybag found by the folks over at PromoBricks called Batman in the Phantom Zone (30522). The polybag features a standard Batman minifigure with the new utility belt piece along with some sort of device.

If you’re not familiar with the Phantom Zone, it is a realm in the DC Universe used to imprison criminals. This makes the Batman in the Phantom Zone polybag much more interesting and makes you curious of how the Phantom Zone figures into the movie.

This polybag was found on eBay so there’s no information on where or when it will be distributed. I’m hoping that it’ll be a GWP at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO Ideas The Beatles Yellow Submarine (21306)

LEGO has officially announced the newest LEGO ideas set with the The Beatles Yellow Submarine (21306) which is based on the 1968 animated film. The 550 piece set will retail for $59.99/£49.99/€59.99 and will be available on November 1. The set will have minifigures of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as well as Jeremy. I’m sure a lot of AFOLs will appreciate the set as The Beatles are one of the most popular bands in music history. Check out the official description of the Yellow Submarine (21306) below.

LEGO Ideas The Beatles Yellow Submarine (21306)

Take a surreal trip under the seas in the LEGO® version of the Yellow Submarine from the iconic 1968 animated musical fantasy film inspired by The Beatles. Ideal for display or role-play fun, the Yellow Submarine features loads of cool, authentic details including a cockpit for the included minifigures of John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Kevin Szeto’s motivation for creating the Yellow Submarine

“As an amateur musician and songwriter, I have always been drawn to the music of The Beatles. The creation of the Yellow Submarine model was really my way of showing my affection for The Beatles, as well as trying to pay a small tribute to The Beatles phenomenon. The Yellow Submarine is bright, fun, and colourful, which also made it a good subject to translate into LEGO form”, Kevin said as he shared his motivations for building the Yellow Submarine.

Justin Ramsden’s (LEGO designer) motivations were also very much centred around his love for the iconic band, as he was given

The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to start making LEGO animation videos but don’t know where to start? David Pagano from Paganomation and David Pickett from Brick 101 will be releasing a new book from No Starch Press called The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies! This book will give you an introduction on how to bring your builds to life with stop-motion animation.

The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies!

The book is separated into easy-to-follow chapters for the different steps of production. The first chapter gives you some of the basics of brickfilming like what kind of equipment is needed, how to set up the scene, and so on. The book will elaborate more with their own dedicated chapters as you go.

The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies!

The next chapter solely talks about how to animate a LEGO minifigure. One of the main subjects for LEGO stop-motion videos is the minifigure and here the authors teach you how to make it seem like it’s moving. The chapter also gives you tips on how to animate facial expressions as well as giving the minifigure some movement so it actually covers a lot for just how to animate a minifigure.

The LEGO Animation Book: Make Your Own LEGO Movies!

In the middle of the book, the authors also give you the full instructions and parts list on how to build the PaganoPuppet which is the one shown on the front cover of the book.

Halloween is coming up in a few weeks and it’s about that time to search for costumes for kids.

Help Beyond the Brick Get to BrickLive Birmingham

October 7, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Our friends over at Beyond the Brick, who have just hit 100,000 subscribers, who are known for filming various LEGO conventions across the US and interviewing members of the LEGO community.

For one of their future projects, they’re looking to expand their coverage and attend BrickLive Birmingham in the UK at the end of October. They’re currently running a KickStarter to fund their trip overseas to film one of the largest LEGO conventions on the other side of the Atlantic.

For some of the KickStarter rewards, they’ve enlisted some builders in the community to create LEGO builds as part of the reward for certain pledge levels such as John Matz, Chris McVeigh, and Tyler Clites, just to name a few. This will be on top of the DVD you’ll be receiving of the show which won’t be posted to their YouTube channel.

They have about 24 left on the KickStarter as of this writing and they’ve already gathered a quarter of the goal so they’re off to a great start. Let’s keep it up and get Beyond the Brick to the UK.

Lepin Moves from LEGO Sets to LEGO Fan Designs

October 7, 2016 / / 11 Comments

The past day or so, I’ve gotten a lot of emails regarding this piece of “news.” I saw some images on Facebook yesterday morning about it but brushed it off because I didn’t want to advertise it. A lot of people who saw the same images are outraged that this is going on and wanted me to write about it and maybe LEGO can see what’s happening.

If you didn’t read about it a few weeks ago, LEGO filed a civil action against LEGO bootleg company Lepin and the cases have been accepted in Chinese courts for further judgment. Well since Lepin is having some legal issues copying official LEGO sets, they’ve now turned to LEGO fans for inspiration for their next sets.

As you can see above, they’ve launched their Creators line and pretty much copied the Barnes & Noble and Starbucks Store project by wooootles on LEGO Ideas. Not only that, they have more sets copied shown on the back of the box such as the International Hotel by lgorlando and the Apple Square University by Pete Stege.

One thing to note is that when you submit your project to LEGO Ideas, you “give rise to any intellectual property right interest, hereunder copyright, patent rights, design rights etc., you hereby assign all rights worldwide to the content generated by you to LEGO” as stated in the Terms of Service so basically LEGO owns the designs of the projects for three years after it is no longer considered for production.

365 Things To Do With LEGO Bricks Book Review

October 6, 2016 / / 2 Comments

365 Things To Do With LEGO Bricks

DK’s newest book called 365 Things To Do With LEGO Bricks has just been released and I’ve received a copy a few weeks ago but now just have time to review it. Unlike other DK LEGO books where they focus on a particular theme, this book takes a look at different ways you can use LEGO bricks.

When you first pick up the book, you’ll notice the red activity selector and timer on the bottom right. When you press the question mark, you get a random number from 1 to 365 which represents the corresponding activity in the book. The yellow countdown button lets you set the time in 30 second intrements. The blue button is the stopwatch to time your activities. The green button is the start/stop button for the stopwatch. One thing to note is that the timer cannot be removed but it is inserted in a gatefold cover so you can have it available while reading through the book.

365 Things To Do With LEGO Bricks

The first few pages gives you all the activities which are broken down into various categories. Futher along, there’s a spread asking what you feel like doing and it gives examples of some of the activities that are available in the book. If this is the very first time you’ve picked up a LEGO brick, there’s a couple of pages to give you some basic terminology of the bricks.

365 Things To Do With LEGO Bricks

There are a ton of activites that are suggested in the book ranging from simple ones like mixing up your minifigures to create an unique … Continue

LEGO DC Super Hero Girls NYCC 2016 Exclusive Batgirl Revealed

LEGO DC Super Hero Girls NYCC 2016 Exclusive Batgirl

During LEGO’s tour of the New York Comic Con 2016 booth, the host showed off the exclusive that will be given away at the convention this week which will be the Batgirl minidoll. If you didn’t see the press release from this morning, LEGO will be doing daily drawings to give away Batgirl. There’s no word on how the drawing will work but I have a feeling that it’ll be similar to SDCC where you tap the iPad to see if you’re a winner or not. If you can’t make it to NYCC, LEGO is also doing a giveaway on Twitter where you just retweet their giveaway tweet and they’ll randomly choose a winner.

As for the exclusive Batgirl minidoll itself, it looks to be similar to the one in the Batgirl Batjet (41230) but you also get the clamshell with the New York Comic Con cardboard. The images I used are clipped from the video so the resolution isn’t that good but check out the tour of the LEGO NYCC 2016 booth below to see a clearer image of it.

LEGO Dimensions Wave 9 Powerpuff Girls Info

October 3, 2016 / / 21 Comments

LEGO Dimensions The Powerpuff Girls

It looks like we finally have some new information about some of the LEGO Dimensions expansion packs that will be coming in 2017. NZGamer.com did an interview with LEGO Dimensions producer Doug Heder and he has given some info on what we can expect from some expansion packs coming in the next few months.

A few weeks ago, Wave 7.5 was announced which includes The LEGO Batman Story Pack (71264), the Knight Rider Fun Pack (71286), and The LEGO Batman Movie Fun Pack (71344). There will be a few more expansion packs that will be coming in March that combines with 7.5 to make it Wave 8. We’ve just recently seen The Goonies Sloth minifigure but there’s no word on which wave it will be in.

Finally, we have the rest of the packs that we know of but hasn’t been revealed yet which will be in Wave 9 and they include the Powerpuff Girls, Beetlejuice, and Teen Titans GO! One little detail that Heder has stated is that the heads for the Powerfuff Girls will be newly molded heads on a standard minifigure body, similar to what we’ve seen for some new minifigures like E.T., Sonic, and the Gremlins. I think that’s good since all the new minifigures have molded heads to make them looks as close as the source material as possible and I’m pretty sure that fans wouldn’t want standard minifigure heads of the girls as it would look all weird.

LEGO Dimensions Green Arrow (71342) E3 Promo

Here’s some interesting news which comes from my friend Alex about some LEGO Dimensions exclusives for GameStop at Black Friday 2016. He overheard an employee mention that the Supergirl (71340) and Green Arrow (71342) promotional polybags will be exclusives during the shopping event.

As we all know by now, the two minifigure polybags have been pretty rare so far as Supergirl has only been available through the PlayStation 4 Starter Pack as a timed exclusive and the Green Arrow has been given away at various conventions like SDCC, E3, and recently at TwitchCon.

As always, take this piece of news as a rumor until it is confirmed by the GameStop Black Friday ad which should be coming out very soon in which I’ll do an updated post about it.

LEGO Shop@Home Force Friday Darth Revan Debacle

September 30, 2016 / / 29 Comments

Force Friday 2016 is here but not without the hiccups. Technically, the event started at midnight EST/9pm PST but knowing how LEGO Shop@Home runs even with the new design didn’t satisfy customers. For those who were patiently waiting to make a purchase online and get the Darth Revan minifigure, I’m sorry to say that that promo may have ran out. Keep in mind that the Rogue One sets weren’t even available yet at this time which was a double bust. At of this writing at 8:00am PST, the Rogue One sets are now availableicon with Double VIP Points but no Revan. Your best chance to score one is at the LEGO Store, if you have one nearby.

Clearly, LEGO screwed up big time with this promotion and I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of unhappy fans who were waiting to pick one up. I’ve read that some people already had issues last night making their purchases with them not going through or placing multiple orders, which probably took up some of the Revan inventory. I love LEGO but these issues with the site, especially during promotional times, need further internal testing. Were any of you successful in getting Revan before they ran out?

LEGO Ideas Caterham Seven 620R (21307)

It was December 4, 2014 when Carl Greatrix submitted his Caterham Super Seven project on LEGO Ideas. Fast forward to May 2015 when the project hit 10,000 supporters and was approved to become an official LEGO Ideas set a year later. The Caterham Seven 620R (21307) was announced last week and the folks over at LEGO has sent us a review copy of the set. Coming at 771 pieces and retailing for $79.99, it is the largest Ideas set in terms of piece count as well as being the most expensive one to be released so far. The contents of the box include six numbered bags and the instruction booklet.

LEGO Ideas Boat Repair Shop Achieves 10,000 Supporters

September 23, 2016 / / 3 Comments

The Boat Repair Shop by RobenAnne is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is also the first project to make it the Third 2016 Review Stage.

If this project looks familiar, that is because RobenAnne also created the Old Fishing Store which also hit 10,000 supporters back in January and this project is a follow up to it. Like with the previous one, the Boat Repair Shop is also modular and has lots of features such as the boat ramp with a crane, work floor, and a storage attic.

LEGO Seasonal Exclusive Limited Edition Snowglobe (40223) Coming in November

September 23, 2016 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223)

If you didn’t see our post of the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar, there are some pretty cool promotional gift with purchases during the month including the exclusive limited edition Snowglobe (40223). The Snowglobe was actually revealed way back in January and even the instuctions were available for a short time before being taken down.

The Snowglobe (40223) has the same aesthetics as a normal snowglobe with Santa and a Christmas tree being the centerpiece. The bottom area is actually a storage area that you can pull out using white plates with handle to put your keepsakes in.

The Snowglobe will only be available during Brick/Black Friday/Cyber Monday, November 25-28 with purchases of $99 or more, while supplies last. I have a feeling that it won’t last all four days at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home so if you plan on making a purchase, do it early during the promotional timeframe. Also, this if for North America and I’m not sure when Europe will have their turn.

The LEGO Group Files Civil Action Against Lepin

September 22, 2016 / / 36 Comments

You may heard or seen pictures of a Chinese company called Lepin reproducing bootleg copies of various LEGO sets and selling them on the market for a fraction of the normal retail price. People who aren’t LEGO enthusiasts may not immediate know the difference between the Lepin clones and LEGO as they have similar logo fonts and packaging but us fans know it very well.

There’s news coming out of the LEGO Ambassador Network earlier this morning that The LEGO Group has filed civil actions in China against Lepin and the cases have been accepted in Chinese courts. Whether or not TLG will win these cases remain to be seen. You can check out the whole post below.

Dear RLUG Ambassadors,

We would like to confirm that the LEGO Group have recently filed civil actions in China against the manufacturer and distributor of LEPIN/乐拼 branded construction toys. Our cases have been accepted by Chinese courts and are now pending for trials. We expect the 1st instance decision to be handed down in approximately one years’ time. Please note that LEPIN will not be legally barred from marketing and selling its products while the case is being heard by the courts.

We deeply appreciate and share the LEGO community’s concern and frustration about passing-off or imitation of LEGO® products. We are committed to do whatever necessary to protect the LEGO brand and products against undue exploitation, and to minimize the risk of consumers being misled via improper use of LEGO Group intellectual property assets.

We want to

LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) Review

September 21, 2016 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254)

Last month, LEGO officially announced the next set in the Winter Village theme with the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254)icon. LEGO released another Holiday Train (10173) back in 2006 but this is a completely new train unlike what happened last year with the winter set. If you remember, LEGO released the Winter Toy Shop (10249)icon and a lot of people weren’t happy with that since it was just a rehash of the previous toy shop with slight updates. For the Winter Holiday Train, it is slightly different than the previous one and not a total copy. It comes in at 734 pieces and retails for $99.99. The contents of the box include one un-numbered bag, six numbered bags, 16 loose track pieces, and the two instruction booklets that are neatly sealed.

One thing to note is that I do not own 10173 so I have no basis for comparison and will just be reviewing this new set.

LEGO Speed Champions Winter 2017 Rumored Sets

September 20, 2016 / / 11 Comments

When the list of rumored LEGO 2017 sets came out last month, one theme that was missing for the initial wave was LEGO Speed Champions. A few days after that, the rumored sets for Speed Champion was indeed released which you can see below.

Mercedes-AMG GT3 (75877)
Bugatti Chiron (75878)
Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H (75879)
Mercedes Pit Stop (75880)
2016 Ford GT & 1966 Ford GT40 (75881)
Ferrari FXX K & Development Center (75882)
Formula 1 Mercedes AMG Petronas (75883)

As you can see, there’s a new car manufacturer with Bugatti and the Chiron should be interesting to see. Technically, Bugatti isn’t a new license as Volkwagen now owns it. Some existing manufacturers are also returning for 2017 with Mercedes, Ferrari, and Ford. After seeing this list of the winter 2017 LEGO Speed Champions sets, which ones are you looking forward to picking up?

New The LEGO Batman Movie 2017 Set Rumors

September 18, 2016 / / 2 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie

It’s been heck of a long day but it’s time to relax and do some posts on what’s been going on in the LEGO world the past half day or so. The LEGO Batman Movie forums over on Eurobricks has been pretty active with talks about some of the rumored sets that will be released in conjunction with the movie.

We already know about the two sets that were revealed during San Diego Comic Con with The Batmobile (70905) and The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906) which are the medium-sized sets in the wave.

CM4Sci has revealed Catwoman’s Cycle (70901) which retails for $19.99 and includes minifigures of Batgirl, Robin, and Catwoman. The build includes Catwoman’s bike and a jewelry store front. It’s also mentioned that this is not the smallest set in the wave.

There’s also rumored set called The Scuttler. Some of the minifigures that are mentioned in that set include Poison Ivy with a plant monster, Batman with a jetpack, Robin, Barbara, and Commissioner Gordon in Gala outfits and a spirit. The Scuttler itself is sort of a mech shaped like a bat and walking on its limbs.

As with any rumors, take this info with some caution but they can most likely be true considering CM4sci’s track record. I’ve also reported on some other The LEGO Batman Movie rumors last month if you want to check those out as well.

Rumored LEGO DC Super Hero Girls Set Info

September 17, 2016 / / 11 Comments

Remember last year when Warner Bros. announced the new DC Super Hero Girls and LEGO would be producing some sets in conjunction with it? Well there looks to be some concrete information about the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls sets with some set numbers and possible set names courtesy of CM4sci on Eurobricks.

He mentions that each set would come with a small crystal-like villain build. The box packaging is “blue and sparkly” and is better that expected. There are six sets that will be available in February. Without me seeing what the sets are like, I’ll just quote what was mentioned in CM4Sci’s post from what he’s seen.

Batgirl’s Batjet (41230) – A small and round Batwing, it actually looks really neat. It uses the round UFO corners as the wings in a dark blue. In front is a pretty well hidden net launcher. Batgirl is in no way final but she’s sitting in the jet. There’s a small buggy for the yellow bad guy, who seems to be holding a phone?

Harley Quinn’s Cafe Rescue (41231) – Small, two floor cafe build labled ‘Capes & Cowls’ Harley Quinn is on a flying net shooter with wings? The piece usually used for net launchers is the middle. Steve (is that his name?) Is captured in a vine on the top floor. There’s a green crystal baddie included.

The High School (41232) – It looks so cool – Giant central tower that with stickers gives off the perspective that it’s growing to a sharp point.

First is the Darth Revan minifigure that will be given away with any LEGO Star Wars purchase at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home on September 30, 2016, while supplies last. Doesn’t look like there’s any other stipulations on it so that’s good. Plus, Force Friday 2016 for the Star Wars: Rogue One sets will be available so it’s pretty easy to get Darth Revan if you plan on purchasing something. Be sure you make your purchases then since this promo is only valid for that day.

For the Escape the Space Slug set, you have to be a LEGO VIP member and purchase the UCS Death Star (75159)icon during the VIP early access timeframe which is September 15-30, 2016. After you do that, you’ll be automatically be entered to win one of the limited edition sets.

Last year around this time, it was reported that local costume company, Disguise had announced they were partnering up with LEGO to produce official Halloween costumes in a multi-year deal. We got a sneak peek at some of the costumes at the New York Toy Fair but now you can already find them in stores such as Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, K-Mart, and Spirit Halloween costume shops.

The nice folks over at Disguise has sent over a press kit with their official press release from a few days ago as well as some product images. They’ve also sent over a review copy of the LEGO Ninjago Lloyd Prestige Costume so I’ll be review that soon. Check out the full press release and images below.

LEGOLAND California Expanding in 2017

September 15, 2016 / / 1 Comment

Earlier today, LEGOLAND California announced the park will be expanding next year and in the next few years. The first thing that was announced by General Manager Peter Ronchetti was that the LEGOLAND Hotel will be having LEGO Ninjago themed rooms which will open in Spring 2017.

Speaking of the themed rooms, the Kingdom themed rooms at the hotel have become so popular that LEGOLAND will be building a new LEGO Castle Hotel. Construction will begin next year and will open in 2019 in front of the Sea Life Aquarium.

Probably the biggest news of the day, at least for me, is the expansion of the LEGO Star Wars Miniland. Opening in March 2017 just ahead of Star Wars Days, the area will have a new area for Episode VII: The Force Awakens. There will be six scenes from the first 30 minutes of the film including Kylo Ren’s capture of Poe Dameron at Jakku, Rey’s rescue of BB-8, and Poe and Finn’s escape from the Star Destroyer Finalizer. With an expansion at a limited space, The Force Awakens area will be replacing the Clone Wars Christophsis scene.

Finally, the water park will also be expanding with a new area called Surfer’s Bay. There will be a water slide with six lanes going 17 feet high and more than 100 feet of track. There will also be an area where water is sprayed up from the ground where kids can run through called the “spray ground.”

The holiday season is slowly creeping up and to kick it off, the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254)icon is now available for VIP members on Shop@Home and at LEGO Brand Stores. The set contains 734 pieces and retails for $99.99.

Unlike last year when LEGO released the Winter Toy Shop (10249)icon, a lot of people were upset that it was basically just a re-release of a previous set however, the Winter Holiday Train is not a copy of the 10173 set from 2006. This set also has 16 curved train tracks included so you can create a whole circle. You can also motorize the train with Power Functionsicon but they are not included with the set.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159)

The other set is that available for VIPs today is the LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75159)icon. This version of the Death Star has similar features to the previous 10188 version but has slight updates and a couple of new minifigures. Although a lot of Star Wars fans may not like it because it’s pretty much a rehash of the old one, it is geared towards fans who have just started collecting LEGO Star Wars and missed out on the previous version which was recently retired. The Death Star (75159) will have 4,016 pieces and retail for $499.99.

One thing to note is that there aren’t any worthwhile promotions going on at this month so if you can hold off until October, you can get Double VIP points plus the Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) with the … Continue

A few weeks ago, LEGO officially revealed the lineup for the LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One sets that will be released on Force Friday, September 30. As you may have noticed from the Buildable Figures sets, there are still some main characters that haven’t been featured yet. There’s now a report from CM4Sci on Eurobricks of the names of the Buildable Figures that coming next year:

Shore Trooper (75523)
Chirrut Imwe (75524)
Baze Malbus (75525)

He has also mentioned some more Microfighters which will be Rogue One related including the U-Wing, Krennic’s Shuttle, TIE Striker, and an iconic Star Wars ship. Also, the last of the system sets is rumored to be some sort of bunker battle and another iconic Star Wars ship.

You can probably start guessing what ships that are implied to be iconic but the the list isn’t very long if you’ve seen the movies.

Update: CM4Sci has stated that the iconic ship is the Y-Wing.

Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store Opening in November

September 12, 2016 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Leicester Square Mascot Lester

It was announced today on Licensing.biz that the UK’s new flagship LEGO Brand Store in Leicester Square will open on November 17. The store will be the largest LEGO Brand Store in the world covering more than 914 square meters over two floors. You’ll have the usual things from other LEGO stores such as building areas and a Pick-a-Brick Wall. One of the sights to see there will be a large version of the Big Ben made from more than 200,000 LEGO bricks and will have an illuminated working clock face.

The thing that fans have been wondering is if there will be any exclusives for the Leicester opening. You won’t have to worry as there will be an exclusive minifigure which will be the store mascot, Lester the tea-drinking minifigure. There’s no word on how to get it but there’s a report saying that it might be available for purchase but it could just mean that it’ll be available with purchases of a certain amount.

Of course, none of this affects individuals who aren’t near the UK but if you’re heading there in November, you may want to swing by the opening. Now to get my hands on that LEGO Lester minifigure somehow…

LEGO Storage & Display Solutions from Brick Innovations

September 12, 2016 / / 6 Comments

Today the folks over at Brick Innovations has launched a new Kickstarter featuring their whole product line of LEGO storage and display solutions including building tables, cabinets, and display shelves.

Brick BOSS Table

Brick Build, Organize, and Storage Solution (BOSS) Table combines both a building table as well as a brick storage solution in a single cabinet. There are four extra large drawers that were “designed to be shallow, allowing all the bricks to be seen at once.” Each drawer is equipped with the LEGO drawer knobs and can fit 20,000 bricks. There are also 8 dividers included to create 12 sections.

Brick BOSS Table Executive Edition

Similar to the regular Brick BOSS Table, the Executive Edition has extensions on either side of the table which allows more building space. It can be used with chairs (not included) if you desire.

The Brick Showcase Cabinet

The Brick Showcase Cabinet allows you to display your LEGO creations in an organized way. There are pull-out drawers for easy access to the content.

Minifigure Shelf

The Minifigure Shelf allows you to display your minifigures with minimal space. There are official LEGO plates which come in a variety of colors. As you can see from my image below, it can easily fit 16 minifigures (not included) but you can probably put more on with some tinkering. The wood seems pretty sturdy and the minifigures sit pretty comfortably on it. Wall mounting hardware is also included so you don’t have to worry about getting your own but I didn’t get any … Continue

LEGO Marvel's Avengers Video Game - Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

For the past few months, I’ve been reporting on some of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2017 sets and now there are even more details about some of the rumored set that will be coming next year. Amazingbricks over on Eurobricks has produced some set names which came from Brickset for the two of the sets as well as some additional info:

Captain America Jet Pursuit (76076) – Includes Steve Rogers Captain America, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), and Super Adaptoid.

Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes (76077) – Includes Agent Coulson with Lola, an “All-New, All-Different” Invincible Iron Man armor with his helmet from the Mighty Micros Iron Man vs Thanos (76072) set, and a brick-built Detroit Steel.

Furthermore, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be released in theaters in May 2017 and supposedly there will be three LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets to accompany the movie which really isn’t a surprise.

Of course, we also have the Hulk vs. Red Hulk (76078) set as well as the three 2017 Marvel Mighty Micros sets coming in 2017 as well so everyone has a lot to look forward to next yeear. Now we just need the official images of some of these sets and we’ll be good.

Thanks to Ethan L. for emailing in this info as I haven’t had much time to go on EB lately.

LEGO Ideas Supporter Milestones Changes Announced

September 9, 2016 / / 3 Comments

Earlier today, the LEGO Ideas team announced some changes and updates to the platform. The most notable change is the one regarding the amount of days you get to achieve a certain amount of supporters. With the change, new Ideas projects will now only have 60 days to reach 100 supporters and after that, they will get a year more time. The current six month boosts at 1,000 supporters and 5,000 supporters will remain the same. Also, existing projects with less than 100 supporters will have their times adjusted to 60 as well. This change affected about 58% of the all the active projects.

This change obviously will clean up the site a bit more and will help weed out more projects that are just posted on there just because. This also means that people will have to think of other ideas of how to promote their projects. You can check out all new changes and updates to LEGO Ideas in the link above.

LEGO Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420) First Look

September 8, 2016 / / 3 Comments

Our friends over at PromoBricks has given a first look at this year’s LEGO Christmas Ornament which will be a Toy Soldier (5004420). The past few years, LEGO has been giving out these ornaments with through VIP shopping events for the 2014 Christmas Train (5002813) and minimum purchases for the 2015 Christmas Tree.

It looks like for this year, the Toy Soldier will be available for everyone with a minimum purchase but we’ll have to see. There’s no word on when it’ll be available here in the US but chances are it’ll be on the November or December 2016 LEGO Store Calendar.

September 7, 2016 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013)

The Series 16 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71013) has been an interesting one not because of the variety of minifigures included but with the availability of them around the world. They started showing up in stores here in the US in the middle of July at LEGO Brand Stores and at other retailers. What’s interesing is that the official reveal was at the end of July after they have already began selling in stores. All in all, it’s been sort of a fiasco for the release of Series 16. Nevertheless, we have finally received a complete box from LEGO for us to review in-depth.

Drastic change is something at people don’t really like when they first see it but maybe over time, that will change. Check out some of the features in the video below.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Rumored Set for 2017

September 6, 2016 / / 15 Comments

Remember there was a rumor that we may be getting some LEGO sets based on the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales which turned out to be false? If may seem that the rumor may indeed be true. According to one of my sources, they sent me a message regarding sets based on the movie and word has it that there will only be one fairly large set, with the price range around $200-$250. It was stated that it may be one of the new pirate ships in the franchise, possibly the Dying Gull or the Silent Mary. If you’ve read up on the movie, the Dying Gull and the Silent Mary are the two new pirate ghost ships that will be featured in the film.

LEGO did a couple of ships back in 2011 for PotC: On Stranger Tides with The Black Pearl (4148) and Queen Anne’s Revenge (4195) but it’ll be cool to have another ship to add to the fleet if this rumor is true about the LEGO PotC: Dead Men Tell No Tales set. We’re still a long ways away from the premiere of the movie in May 26, 2017 but hopefully we’ll be able to get more concrete information by the end of this year or early next year.

LEGO’s Profit Falls in US in First Half of 2016

September 6, 2016 / / 6 Comments

I usually don’t report on LEGO’s numbers but here’s something that’s a little interesting. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that LEGO’s net profit for the first half of 2016 has dropped by 2% as compared to 2015. If you’re talking currency, that’s DKr3.49bn ($525 million) which is a slight drop from DKr3.55bn in the same time from last year. While sales dropped here in the US, they increased by more than 10% over in Europe as well as in Asia.

LEGO’s Chief Financial Officer John Goodwin stated, “In the U.S., we acknowledge that we have not provided the initiatives and support needed to keep the same high level of growth.”

LEGO also stated that a rapid increase in the number of employees, by adding 3,500 new workers in 2016, along with investing in a factory in China has impacted profit growth.

It’s not that surprising that sales have slipped here in the US as there have been some things have happened like with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS being out of stock for a while and the first LEGO Star Wars UCS set of 2016 being fairly lackluster. Even then, I don’t see it being a big deal. With the holiday season just around the corner, LEGO looks to end the year on a high note and continue being the top toy company.

LEGO Star Wars First Order General (5004406) Coming as a Toys R Us Promotion in September?

September 5, 2016 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order General (5004406)

Way back in May, I reported that the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order General (5004406) was listed on Toys R Us’ website. It’s been available at LEGOLAND parks as well as being given out with purchases at San Diego Comic Con but there hasn’t been much info since then on how the majority of the country can get it besides from the secondary market.

Jason over at BrickVibe sent over an image of the Toys R Us October 2016 LEGO calendar and shown on the last week of September, there’s a promotion for a free LEGO Star Wars gift with a $30 LEGO Star Wars purchase. My guess is that the gift could possibly be the First Order General minifigure polybag. I’ll try to confirm whether or not this is correct when I’m able to check Toys R Us’ inventory when I go back to work.

LEGO Star Wars StarScavenger (75147) Review

LEGO Star Wars StarScavenger (75147)

With my second review of the LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures sets sent over by LEGO, I have the larger of the two sets with the StarScavenger (75147). I’ve already reviewed the Eclipse Fighter (75145) a few days ago. It consists of 558 pieces and retails for $49.99. Like with the other set, this is a pretty good price to piece ratio which rarely happens with licensed sets. The contents of the box include five numbered sets, the instruction booket, and a small sticker sheet. I think my set had an error because I got two sticker sheets.

**WARNING: If you haven’t watched LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, I suggest watching it over on Disney XD as it does have an interesting original storyline which is set between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. There will be some minor spoilers in the reviews.**

LEGO Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) Coming in October

LEGO Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222)

A few days ago, I posted the October 2016 Store Calendar which I’ve updated with higher quality scans as well as the back page for it. One of the things that I want to feature on it is the FREE exclusive Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) with purchases of $99 or more from October 1-25, while supplies last. The set is pretty much another advent calendar which contains 250 pieces and contains 24 different builds including a train, plane, Christmas tree, snowman, reindeer, candy cane, dog, fireplace mantle, and more.

This Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) is a nice change to the usual LEGO Star Wars, City, and Friends Advent Calendars which are starting to be more of the same each year. The set will be available for North America starting in October and I’m not sure if Europe and other countries will be getting the promo so you’ll have to check your own stores to see what they have available then.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159) Officially Announced

August 31, 2016 / / 7 Comments

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159)

LEGO has finally announced the next LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series set with the updated Death Star (75159). It hasn’t been much of a secret the past couple of weeks but there are now official details of the set. It will have 4,016 pieces and retails for $499.99 which is 213 pieces and $100 more than the recently retired 10188 version.

Although there are many, many fans that aren’t impressed with it, the main appeal is to those who weren’t able to get the previous version or for new LEGO fans who has just started collecting LEGO Star Wars sets. I do understand the animosity against the new set when it was first “revealed” because there are very minor updates to it but at a higher price point. For those individuals, that means you can save your money and use it on other LEGO sets that interest you more.

One thing to note in the press release notes was that the UCS Death Star (75159) is not an indication of any future re-release or set updates.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159)

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159)

75159 Death Star™
Ages 14+. 4,016 pieces.

LEGO Disney Princess TRU Building Event

Mark your calendars because Toys R Us will be having two LEGO Disney Princess building events in September.

LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One Sergeant Jyn Erso (75119)

A short while ago, Entertainment Earth “revealed” one of the three LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One Buildable Figures for Sergeant Jyn Erso (75119). Again, this isn’t really anything except for the people who weren’t able to see it before a few months ago. Jyn Erso will contain 104 pieces and will retail for $24.99.

There will be two other Buildable Figures in the wave which we hopefully will be able to see again soon with K-2SO (75120) and the Imperial Death Trooper (75121).

LEGO Mixels Ending After 2016?

August 30, 2016 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Mixels Series 9 Screeno (41578)

If you’re a LEGO Mixels fan, there may be some bad news about the theme. It was reported yesterday by Brickset that the fairly popular theme may be coming to an end after this year. There are some clues into this theory when the show’s producer on Cartoon Network, Jordan Reicheck stated that the last episode will premiere in September.

We already know there will be another wave of LEGO Mixels coming this October with Series 9 but there hasn’t been any information about any future waves and the rumored 2017 set list made no mention of them.

Of course, nothing is really set in stone as the show ending may not mean that the LEGO theme itself is ending. If you enjoyed the theme whether it be the weird characters or because they’re great parts packs, LEGO Mixels did have a good three year run. As people always say, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

LEGO Star Wars Eclipse Fighter (75145) Review

August 29, 2016 / / 2 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Eclipse Fighter (75145)

Back in February, it was announced that LEGO will be releasing a new animated series on Disney XD called LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures and in conjunction with the show, there was a couple of sets released as well. LEGO has kindly sent over the two sets for us to review including the Eclipse Fighter (75145) and the StarScavenger (75147). In this post, I’ll be review the smaller set with the Eclipse Fighter. It contains 363 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a pretty good price/piece ratio. The contents of the box include three numbered bags and the instruction booklet.

**WARNING: If you haven’t watched LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, I suggest watching it over on Disney XD as it does have an interesting original storyline which is set between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. There will be some minor spoilers in the reviews.**

LEGO Minifigure Collection Musicians (55004421)

Remember when Toys R Us did exclusive LEGO Minifigure Collections for Bricktober before they changed to the Mini Modular sets the last few years? It looks like they might be making a comeback as Brickset has found that a new Minifigure Collection set has shown up online for TRU Germany and selling for 14.99€. This set is the first of four Minifigure Collections for this year and it features Musicians (55004421) which looks like it’s just a mix of various minifigure parts including some from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line. Currently it only ships to Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Poland but hopefully when October comes around, they will be available here in the States as well.

LEGO Ideas The Plum Creek – The Little House on the Prairie Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 29, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The Plum Creek – The Little House on the Prairie project by SeigneurFett is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s story about her childhood in a settler family in the northern Midwest during the late 19th centure. The stories later became a hit TV series during the 70s. As you can see from the image above, you have the house and the farm as seen in the show with play features in each.

Who knew that one more project will be entering the Second 2016 Review Stage with so little time left but it did. It now joins 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, and Lovelace & Babbage as the projects that qualify for the Review Stage. Good luck to LEGO trying to figure out which project from this list will become an official LEGO Ideas.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159) Preview

August 28, 2016 / / 11 Comments

We already know that the not-so-secret LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159) will be coming next month as a VIP early access set. There are now non-leaked images of the set coming out of the Arundel Mills LEGO Brand Store in Maryland with an employee building the set in full view in front of customers.

While we wait for LEGO to send over the official details of the Death Star, we can see that it’s pretty much the recently retired Death Star (10188) but with small updates. For those who missed out on the previous set, you can now get this new version with updated minifigures being one of the highlights.

We should be getting the official announcement in a few days but rumor has it that the set will go for $499.99. Sound off in the comments below of what you think of the set.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes TRU Captain America

Earlier today, there was a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes building event at Toys R Us stores around the US. The model for this event was a 72-piece Captain America mosaic. My friend Charlie has sent over a scan of the instructions for the build. Although it looks like tile pieces were used for the event, they were actually standard bricks so it’ll be pretty easy to make your own if you have the parts.

LEGO Ideas Lovelace & Babbage Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 27, 2016 / / 2 Comments

The Lovelace & Babbage project by Stewart Cromar, aka stubot, is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you’re just looking at the image and are not familiar with the names, you may be wondering what it is about but if you are familiar with the names, you’ll know that this project is a science-based project based on the Analytical Engine, a mechanical general-purpose computer.

Lovelace & Babbage barely sneaks into the Second 2016 Review Stage and it now joins 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, and Lamborghini Veneno Roadster as the projects that qualify for the Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book

August 26, 2016 / / 1 Comment

I rarely post about LEGO Ideas projects as I get so many request to feature a particular one but this Pop-Up Book by Jason Allemann and Grant Davis has really caught my eye. It is a very original idea that I haven’t seen much before of on LEGO Ideas. The book has a simple mechanism that uses Technic beams to make the scene to rise up from the book just like the pop-up books you may have read before as a child. As you can see from the video below, the scenes can be easily changed to your liking and they have shown off a couple of scenes with the cottage, western building, and a castle.

If you see what you like and would think this project would make a great official LEGO set, head over to LEGO Ideas to show your support.

Akro-Mils 64 Drawer Cabinet on Sale at Amazon

August 26, 2016 / / 1 Comment

If you’re looking for some extra storage for your LEGO parts, Amazon, as of this writing, has a sale going on for their 64-drawer Akro-Mils cabinet for $25.97 which is 39% off the normal price. Akro-Mils and Stack-On cabinets are some of the more popular storage options but currently Akro-Mils has a slightly better drawer/price ratio.

LEGO builder Tom Alphin made a post a few years ago regarding his storage system and he also uses the same Akro-Mils 64 Drawer which is currently on sale. In addition, the Akro-Mils 24 Drawer cabinet is at $19.97 which is 51% off the list price.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter has released some information regarding next year’s The LEGO Ninjago Movie. If you’re going to watch the Storks next month, there will be a five-minute animated short shown in the beginning for Ninjago called The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short. It will feature Jackie Chan as Master Wu who “gets into a conflict with Chicken” voiced by Abbi Jacobson while the short will be narrated by Justin Theroux.

If you remember, the cast of The LEGO Ninjago Movie was announced a few weeks ago with some big name actors/actresses including Chan, Jacobson, and Theroux, among others. Jacobson will also be voicing Nya while Theroux will be voicing Garmadon. The LEGO Ninjago Movie itself will open on September 22, 2017 and it is rumored there will be LEGO Ninjago Movie sets as well as a Collectible Minifigures line to be released in conjunction.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) 20% Off

August 22, 2016 / / 3 Comments

If you were thinking about creating a full bridge using the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) set, now is a great time to pick up another copy as it is on sale for 20% off. Toys R Us has a 20% promotion going on for various LEGO Super Heroes sets and Amazon is matching the prices for this week. Toys R Us does have a better deal on Thursday if you have their credit card to save an additional 10%.

As for the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) set, it does have a lot of exclusive minifigures that you can get such as Scarlet Spider, Spider-Girl, Kraven, the Scorpion, Green Goblin, and Aunt May. Plus creating the other half of the bridge to make a full one is awesome in its own right as well. With the sale, the price per piece ratio goes down to $0.07/piece and that’s not too shabby for a licensed set. If you’re looking to attach two bridges together, Mark over at Bricks Magazine has done a video tutorial on how to do it which you can check out below.

LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack (853609)

Back in July, LEGO announced they will be releasing some new exclusive LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs in September. There are now official images of the two Skin Packs and we get to see a closer look at them. Each Skin Pack comes with four minifigures as well as their own accessories along with some items for your Minecraft world.

The first one is Skin Pack (853609) and it contains some characters in various outfits such as someone in a Creeper costume. The second Skin Pack (853610) is more of a sci-fi pack with some alien robot minifigure along with some minifigures that look like they’re from Star Wars.

I believe these two LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack will be available starting on September 1 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. There’s no mentioning of the pricing but I assume they will go for at least $14.99 for each pack.

The Landspeeder is based on Luke’s vehicle in A New Hope and this version hopes to become a set to be sold under the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series tag as there hasn’t been one before.

There was no mentioning of when the LEGO Harry Potter Collection will be released but the Harry Potter Universe has been the talk for the past few months with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play and book along with the Fantastic Beasts movie coming out soon. If the PS4 collection does come out, I wouldn’t be surprised if it also comes with some kind of exclusive LEGO minifigure or build.

The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book Review

August 18, 2016 / / 1 Comment

A few days ago, I received a new review copy of The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book: 15 Designs to Spread Holiday Cheer by Chris McVeigh from No Starch Press. If Chris’ name sounds familiar, he’s a pretty popular builder and photographer in the LEGO community. The book contain 220 pages and retails for $19.95 and will be available at the end of September.

The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book consists of 15 different builds ranging from simple builds like the wreath variety to more involved ones like the computer and camera. They are grouped into three categories such as Christmas Classics, Geometric Designs, and Fun Stuff which are your non-traditional holiday ornaments. The instructions are broken down in a very simple way, similar to what LEGO does with their instructions. At the beginning of each build, there’s a parts list, including the official parts ID number, to let you know which parts are need to create it and of course, you can substitute the colors to your liking. If you’re not familar with the numbers, you’re probably wondering what they are as it is not explained anywhere in the book. Words are very scarce since there really is no need for them.

One thing that I really appreciate about the instructions for this book as compared to other third-party instruction books is that the ones in this one are large and easy to see as compared to the small instructions with a number of pieces squeezed into that step.

Overall, The LEGO Christmas Ornaments Book is a … Continue

LEGO Dimensions Playstation 4 Exclusive Supergirl Minifigure Announced at Gamescom 2016

August 16, 2016 / / 44 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Supergirl

Remember back in April when an image of Supergirl came out for LEGO Dimensions? Well it looks like we now have information on how to get the minifigure. Earlier today for Gamescom 2016, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released details on how to get Supergirl for LEGO Dimensions and they have sent over assets including in-game images.

It turns out that Supergirl will be an exclusive bonus for the Playstation 4 Starter Pack (71171) starting on September 27. Obviously, this is a terrible announcement for people who already purchased the Playstation 4 Starter Pack or for those with other systems. People will most likely not be spending more money on another Starter Pack just to get the minifigure so the secondary market will definitely benefit from it. There’s no doubt that many fans will not agree to this move and hopefully we’ll be able to get Supergirl in a separate expansion pack but that probably doesn’t seem likely. You can now pre-order the LEGO Dimensions PS4 Starter Pack with the Supergirl minifigure over on Amazon and it will be released the same day that the Year 2, Wave 6 expansion packs are available.

LEGO Island Co-Creator Wes Jenkins Needs Your Help

August 15, 2016 / / 4 Comments

A few people have emailed me about this so I’m doing what I can to spread the word about it. Some of you may or may not know about Wes Jenkins but he was the Creative Director, Writer, and Designer for LEGO Island back in 1997, a game that was pretty popular and well-received and spawned more LEGO video games such as LEGO Star Wars and two more LEGO Island sequels.

To cut it short, Wes has been hit with illness and financial hardship and needs help as he and his wife are facing eviction and needs some temporary housing. They are currently residing in Texas but if you’ve been to Texas, you know that the weather can be extremely harsh, especially duing the summer. You can read more about Wes’ story over on Rock Raiders United but there is a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for Wes and his wife. Please help spread the word and any support is definitely appreciated.

The lower level has a lot of windows which uses the 1×2 trans-clear bricks. Not immediately shown on the front is the fairly new 1×2/2×4 angle plate used to attach the black grill pieces and 1×1 trans-clear studs for the headlights.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2017 Set Rumors

August 5, 2016 / / 11 Comments

The rumor mill is in full swing over on the Eurobricks Marvel topic about an upcoming LEGO 2017 set. Just2Good has “confirmed” that we’ll be getting a set next year featuring Agent Coulson and his car Lola. Other known reporters like amazingbricks and Sir Gareth have chimed in and said the set will also include Iron Man as well as Detroit Steel with the latter being a bigfig. While Detroit Steel isn’t a big name villain, it’s nice to see some variety in characters. Speaking of which, an Agent Coulson minifigure is long overdue along with Lola. From what I’m gathering, this is more of a comic/game based set and not the MCU/Agents of SHIELD version. The price point that was mentioned in the thread was going to be around $30-$50.

There’s isn’t much going on for the LEGO Marvel sets at this time but there is more information slowly coming out every day like the one mentioned above and we already know about the Hulk vs. Red Hulk set. Early indications show that we’re getting more obscure characters and not as many rehashes of existing characters which is nice. So what do you guys think of this rumored set with an interesting combination of characters? Personally, I can’t wait to see it but it looks like it’ll be a fun little set.

Update: It may seem that Detroit Steel might be a brick-built figure similar to the Hulkbuster.

LEGO Nexo Knights Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2016

LEGO Nexo Knights SDCC 2016 Panel

At the last LEGO panel of San Diego Comic Con 2016, we had a panel for LEGO Nexo Knights. It was moderated by LEGO marketing director Brian Bowler and the panel consisted of Tommy Andreasen (showrunner) and Mark Hoffeimeir (writer) as well as design manager Melissa Pickering, and senior designers Samuel Johnson and Mark Stafford. Also appearing as a guest was the voice of Jestro, Vincent Tong.

LEGO Nexo Knights SDCC 2016 Panel

Like with the LEGO Ninjago panel, the first half of the panel consisted of LEGO showing off early concept art of some of the sets and its inspirations for the Fortrex, Mecha Horse, the King’s Mech, and Clay’s Rumble Blade. As part of their process, LEGO designers go through a number of builds before settling on the final product for release.

While showing off some of the main characters of the theme, it was revealed that Aaron Fox is named after Michael J. Fox and uses a hoverboard like Marty McFly in Back to the Future II. Also it was noted that the voice of the Book of Monsters is sort of a tribute to Stan Lee and if you’ve watched the show before, you can kind of hear it.

Next up, they showed off a clip which also gave an exclusive SDCC 2016 Snake Den Nexo Power. After the clip, it was revealed that the new season of LEGO Nexo Knights will be premiering on August 13 on the Cartoon Network.

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2016 Panel

A lot of you have asked about a recap of the LEGO Ninjago panel at San Diego Comic Con 2016. I did sort of a live tweet during the event but I’ve finally had some time to do a post about it. First the panel did sort of a recap of Season 6: Skybound and they asked fans who Nya should end up with and get got a lot of feedback and went with Jay. They also showed a lot of the early concept images of some of the sets with lots of test builds.

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2016 Panel

Then they talked about when LEGO Ninjago will be returning to Cartoon Network which was revealed to be on October 29 with the first episode called “Day of the Departed.” Here they showed a two or so minute clip of the episode and it showed the ninjas riding in their respective vehicles and Cole suddenly starts to vanish as he is still a ghost and begins to crash as the screen fades out.

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2016 Panel

Next up, they teased the next adventure which will be called “The Hands of Time.” They did not elaborate on this so that left us wondering what it’s about.

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2016 Panel

During the Q&A session, it was stated that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be talk about more next year so there’s no new info on that. As for next season, it was hinted that there will be more skeletons as well as maybe a new element coming. Also someone asked if we will be seeing Sensei Garmadon again and … Continue

LEGO BIONICLE to be Discontinued at End of 2016

July 29, 2016 / / 8 Comments

LEGO BIOINICLE

You may or may not have read about it this morning but today marks a sad day in the LEGO community as LEGO has announced that LEGO BIONICLE will be discontinued at the end of 2016 after a two year run.

LEGO BIONICLE was pretty popular when it came back in 2015 and the CCBS community was back in full swing with the revival. There’s no mentioning on why LEGO has decided to end the theme but safe bets are due to lack of sales. LEGO did mention that the final wave of BIONICLE sets will be coming to Europe and North America but will not be released in Asia and the Pacific markets. This usually happens when themes or subthemes are ending such as LEGO Legends of Chima and the LEGO Star Wars Planets sets.

THE CONCLUSION OF “THE JOURNEY TO ONE” MARKS THE END FOR LEGO® BIONICLE® GENERATION 2

Fans, today we have to share the news with you that we have made the tough decision to discontinue LEGO® BIONICLE® at the end of 2016. NETFLIX has just started streaming the final two episodes of “The Journey to One” the ending of which, will put an end to any speculation about the future of LEGO® BIONICLE®.

With the 2015 relaunch of LEGO® BIONICLE®, we set out to revive a childhood favorite of fans worldwide, and bring it to a new group of children who were too young to have known and played with LEGO® BIONICLE® Generation 1. From your wonderful feedback over the last

LEGO Launches New Minisite Called Remake

July 28, 2016 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Remake

Yesterday, LEGO launched a new minisite called Remake which is pretty much a site to provide building instructions to create alternative models using official LEGO sets. The are seven different fan designers who will be helping out with the site including Attila Baranyai, Bertrand Lequy, Jason Allemann, Nicola Lugato, Peter Szabo, Tomas Vit, and Youngil Kim.

The alternate builds are separated in full and partial remakes. The full remakes use a majority of the parts from the official sets while the partial remakes only use some of them. Each build gives you a small description of what it is as well as the parts list and the instructions which you can download as a PDF file. Currently, Remake only has builds from some LEGO City sets.

You may wonder why LEGO released Remake since there is already Rebrickable which does almost the same thing. Natham Thom from Rebrickable released a blog post today explaining that he actually had a hand in helping create the new website although it was released not fully complete. LEGO has released a statement regarding why the site isn’t complete.

As you might have heard and seen, we launched a new site on LEGO.com called LEGO® Remake. The intention with this site is to provide older children with creative inspiration to what alternative builds they can make with existing LEGO® sets.

In order to provide the inspiration, we reached out to 7 amazing fan designers through Nathan Thom, the owner of Rebrickable. The Rebrickable website inspired the LEGO Remake project and over

LEGO Shop@Home Update (Switzerland)

July 28, 2016 / / 2 Comments

LEGO Shop@Home Update

LEGO has been making changes to Shop@Home and today they unveiled a new update to the site for Switzerland. These updates will be coming to other countries in the future but you can play around with the Swiss version in the meantime. LEGO has also provided us with a survey to provide feedback about the new updates.

So far to me, the new Shop@Home update is a little smoother and loads a little faster since it uses Bootstrap for the coding. One thing I really don’t like about it are the huge banners since they take up a lot of real estate and many people do not like scrolling down. Plus the products page doesn’t show as many products so you have to scroll down more to see them all. I feel that many of you may not like the change since the current site is more than adequate for their needs.

Again, feel free to send feedback to LEGO about what you think about the new LEGO Shop@Home update.

LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs Coming in September

LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs (853609)

Earlier today, LEGO has announced they will be releasing some new LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs which will be releasing in September. These Skin Packs are basically new exclusive minifigures to be used with your Minecraft sets. They have the set numbers 853609 and 853610 and each minifigure has a unique look to them, especially the ones that look very similar to Boba Fett and Han Solo.

As far as pricing goes, there’s no word on that at this time. Based off the set numbers, these LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs will most likely be exclusive to LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

2. Desert Warrior

The Desert Warrior’s only signs are the scimitar and the turban pieces.

In order to have a chance, people in the front stood in line for at least 2 1/2 hours and they tap the iPad provided to see if they won and the prize was given at the spot. The giveaways were also done on social media for those who weren’t able to attend.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2016 Steve Rogers Captain America

Like with the DC Comics Super Heroes Atom and other previous exclusive minifigures from SDCC, Captain America comes in a clamshell case. The insert has a nice dark blue background with the SDCC 2016 logo on the bottom left alongside the Marvel logo. The back has some advertisement for the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game.

As for Captain America minifigure itself, this variant is based on the recently released Captain America: Steve Rogers #1. He has an all-new outfit that is still prodomiently his usual blue, red, and white. There is the star on the middle of the chest and some red and white stripes below it.

At the first day of San Diego Comic Con 2016 this past Thursday, LEGO did their first exclusive minifigure giveaway with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Atom. The paper backing is only a single flat sheet unlike last year where you could fold it up to show a scene. In the bottom left corner, you have some printing that signifies that this particular minifigure is from SDCC 2016. There is also the Legends of Tomorrow logo next to the SDCC logo.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2016 Atom

As for the minifigure itself, Atom is very detailed throughout. The torso of the A.T.O.M. exosuit has printing the red and blue of the suit as well as some silver. The legs continue with the same type of printing. Atom has a double-sided head with a confident expression on one side and an angry expression on the other. There is also some printing on the head for the chinstrap and blue over the eyes for the visor. Finally, he has a blue helmet to complete his look.

Overall, the SDCC 2016 LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Atom is a very good looking minifigure and is highly detailed. The 4×4 plate was unexpected when it was first revealed but it is a nice addition. The only way to get this exclusive minifigure was to have atteneded San Diego … Continue

LEGO 2017 Rumored Sets and Themes (FALSE)

July 24, 2016 / / 15 Comments

I’m finally done with San Diego Comic Con 2016 and I’ve had time to check my emails and I see quite a few of you have sent me some stuff regarding some rumored LEGO 2017 sets. Apparently, there are reports of an Italian catalog which shows some of the LEGO sets that might be coming out next year. Again, nothing is confirmed until LEGO officially announces them and anything can change between now and 2017 so these are strictly rumors in my book.

The new Power Rangers movie will be hitting the big screen next year and it appears that there will be sets based on it.

Furthermore, Cars 3 will be in theaters next year as well and it looks like there will be a few sets to go along with it.

Next are some sets based on the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales with sets ranging from 75990-75993. This marks the return of the POTC theme which has done fairly well in the past.

In the LEGO City theme, it looks like there’s something called LEGO Sports with a set called Football/Soccer Goalie Practice (61004).

The LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be returning again and this time, they will have purple packaging.

Finally, for The LEGO Batman Movie, it looks like we’re finally getting a bigfig version of Bane.

Update: It is confirmed that all the information above is false and none of the themes listed are true.

The LEGO Batman Movie

Earlier today at San Diego Comic Con, Warner Bros. had their panel and showed off all the upcoming movies they have on the slate including The LEGO Batman Movie. The official SDCC 2016 trailer of the movie is now available and it there’s all new footage to drool over, especially for all the potential sets that may come out next year.

The trailer also shows Michael Cera as Dick Grayson and him messing around with Batman’s other suits like El Murcielago, Glam Bat, and Raggae Man which turns out to be Robin’s suit of his choosing minus a couple of pieces here and there. There are rumors that there will be a minifigure series based on the movie so don’t be surprised if we see a couple of the suits in the trailer as actual minifigures.

The LEGO Batman Movie will be released in theaters February 2017.

Game Directors Arthur Parsons and James Mcloughlin over on the Twitch stream has teased that more fan favorite characters from the Sonic franchise will be appearing as well but is keeping that a secret for now. There will be a trailer soon so I’ll update this post when it drops.

First Look at LEGO Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Tina Fun Pack (71257)

July 21, 2016 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Tina Fun Pack (71257)

I’m back from the first official day of San Diego Comic Con 2016 and today I want to focus on the LEGO Warner Bros. stuff, more importantly LEGO Dimensions. The LEGO Dimensions glass case of products were unusually small with only some of the Year 2 content being displayed in a badly reachable area. I literally had to sneak in to the WB line to take a picture of them because it wasn’t displayed in a public friendly place.

One thing we haven’t seen yet that was displayed was a first look at the LEGO Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Tina Fun Pack (71257). It contains 51 pieces and it includes the Tina Goldstein minifigure along with the Swooping Evil. Tina comes in her gray coat printing along with a gray gumdrop hat although she appears to wear a green one in the movie.

The Swooping Evil, according to Pottermore is a large, butterfly-like creature and the build does look pretty similar to the source material given the limited amount of pieces that comes with the set. There was no mentioning of pricing but I’m guessing it will retail for $11.99 like the other Fun Packs.

The other new set from the Year 2 wave was the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack (71253). As mentioned before, it comes with the Newt Scamander minifigure along with a brick-built Niffler as well as the entrance to the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). We now also know the piece count of the set coming in at 261 … Continue

Two The LEGO Batman Movie Official Set Images Revealed

July 21, 2016 / / 17 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie The Batmobile (70905)

Earlier today, LEGO has published official images of two The LEGO Batman Movie sets which are The Batmobile (70905) and The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906). We’ll see the two sets being displayed at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. Below is a little description of the two sets.

The Batmobile (70905) has 581 pieces and it includes minifigures of Batman, Robin, Man-Bat, and the Kabuki Twins. Batman has a new belt attachment piece while Robin wears some of the new green goggles which we saw before. Man-Bat looks like the same one we’ve in in a previous set while The Kabuki Twins are brand new. We’ll see how the assassins will play part in the movie later on. The Batmobile will retail for $59.99.

The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906) has 433 pieces and will retail for $49.99. It is the one that we saw an image of yesterday with the character reveal and it includes minifigures of Batgirl, The Joker, and Harley Quinn. All three minifigures have new printing on them and the Lowrider is an interesting looking build as well.

LEGO Super Heroes BrickHeadz SDCC 2016 Boxes

July 20, 2016 / / 2 Comments

LEGO BrickHeadz Superman & Wonder Woman (41490)

I’m finally back from a pretty rushed Preview Night at San Diego Comic Con 2016. I’ll over the other stuff that was happening at the LEGO Booth later on but I want to focus on the new upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz sets that are coming out in 2017. LEGO displayed the four convention exclusive sets including the boxes for them which shows some more details about them.

As you can see, the SDCC 2016 exclusive versions of the sets will have the label on front of the box and they are the higher quality slip cover versions. They also have the little stand with the #LEGOSDCC printed tile as well. The retail versions of the set won’t have these and will probably have a slightly different piece count.

Again, drawings to be able to purchase these at SDCC will be held each morning in the Pavilion Terrace.

Superman & Wonder Woman (41490) – 220 pieces
Batman & The Joker (41491) – 212 pieces
Iron Man & Captain America (41492) – 184 pieces
Black Panther & Dr. Strange (41493) – 173 pieces

LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack (71258) Revealed

July 20, 2016 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack (71258)

There’s now an official image of the new LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack (71258). It contains 42 pieces and includes the E.T. minifigure with a potted plant accessory and Phone Home for the build which is a red telephone. It’s interesting that they chose to use a telephone but it’s close enough to the classic red Speak & Spell that was used in the movie.

The E.T. Fun Pack (71258) will most likely retail for $11.99 like the other Fun Packs. There’s no word on the release date.

The LEGO Batman Movie Joker and Robin Close-Up Look

July 20, 2016 / / 4 Comments

The LEGO Batman Movie

USA Today has released some new images of some of the characters that will be in The LEGO Batman Movie including the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Robin. As mentioned before Zach Galifianakis will be voicing Joker while Michael Cera will be voicing Robin. There’s no mention yet on who will be voicing Harley.

As you can see Robin, has a very different look that what we’ve been used to seeing with the goggles that makes his eyes look huge and a shiny yellow cape. Robin does have a very close resemblance to Carrie Kelley from Frank Miller’s Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. As for the Joker, his mouth looks like it’s been painted on. We can also see Joker’s vehicle that Harley Quinn is driving.

Director Chris McKay hints that “We’re going deep in Batman lore and DC Comics lore. Batman’s Rogues Gallery is going to be completely filled out in LEGO.” If you’re familiar with Batman lore, the Rogues Gallery is basically a term for all the villains that Batman has faced so there could possibly be a lot more villains in the movie besides the Joker and Harley Quinn.

There will also be a new trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie coming this week when it is shown off at San Diego Comic Con.

Update: CM4Sci on Eurobricks is reporting there will be two sets to be displayed at SDCC this week.
