LEGO Dimensions The Goonies Sloth Minifigure Revealed

LEGO Dimensions has just revealed the first look at the Sloth minifigure from The Goonies Level Pack. We’ve seen images of him but we can now see the actual minifigure itself. As you can see, Sloth has on the Superman tank top with the red suspenders and gray pants. It also looks like the top of his head is a separate piece from the head piece. What do you guys think about the LEGO Dimensions Sloth minifigure?

Rumored LEGO Dimensions GameStop Black Friday 2016 Exclusives

October 2, 2016 / / 4 Comments

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 will be celebrating its 10th anniversary of the LEGO Creator Modular Buildings in 2017 there’s already rumors of what the next set could be.

Brickcon is this weekend and the convention has been known to announce some exclusive direct-to-consumer sets such as the Parisian Restaurant (10243) back in 2013 and the Santa’s Workshop (10245) in 2014. Who knows if LEGO will be announcing something this year at Brickcon but we can only hope.

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?

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.

September 17, 2016 / / 5 Comments

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (30279)

I’ve received a couple of emails from readers notifying me that the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (30279) have started showing up at various Target stores in the Halloween section and in the checkout aisles. If you remember, this particular polybag was included with GameStop pre-orders of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game. Since then as far as I know, it had a pretty limited release with it being available only at LEGOLAND parks.

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.

Update: I’ve been notified that over on the sweepstakes page, you can also enter without making a purchase.

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.”

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Elves’ Workshop (40205) Image

September 15, 2016 / / 4 Comments

Jason from BrickVibe has somehow gotten a hold of the LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving Pilgrim (40204) set and on the back of the instructions is an image of the Christmas set which looks a like an Elves’ Workshop (40205). The set features two elves working on building some toys. There’s no piece count given but it’s safe to say that it will retail for $9.99 like with the other LEGO Seasonal sets. The Toy Workshop (40205) will probably be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home starting in November.

LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) and Star Wars Death Star (75159) Now Available for VIPs

September 15, 2016 / / 1 Comment

LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254)

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

LEGO Star Wars Rogue One

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)

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

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 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 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 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.

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.

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

September 4, 2016 / / 3 Comments

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

September 2, 2016 / / 6 Comments

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 Disney Castle (71040)

If you haven’t been able to purchase the LEGO Disney Castle (71040) during the VIP early access, you can now purchase the set on Shop@Homeicon. The Disney Castle has been temporarily out of stock for a while on both S@H and at LEGO Brand Stores since it was released a few weeks ago. I have a feeling that it will be out of stock again in a few days so get it while you can or if you prefer to wait until October, you can get Double VIP Points on it.

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 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)

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.

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.

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 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.

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 853609/853610 Official Images

August 22, 2016 / / 0 Comments

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.

LEGO Ideas Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 21, 2016 / / 8 Comments

The Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder by Psyence- is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. 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. As we all know, these larger projects added with an existing license usually don’t make it far in the Review Stage but we’ll see if this one is able to pass it.

The Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder 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, and the Women of NASA as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Harry Potter Collection Coming to Playstation 4?

PlayStationLifeStyle.net is reporting that the Brazil Rating Board had a listing (now removed) for a LEGO Harry Potter Collection will be coming to PlayStation 4. The collection is reported to include both LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 as well as LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7. 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.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

From now until August 15 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home, LEGO is giving out the LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) with purchases of $75 or more as part of their main promotion for the month in the US and Canada. The contents of the box include two unnumbered bags, a 2×12 black plate, the instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

The 118-piece build is simple as you pretty much stack bricks and plates up. As the bus is a double-decker, both levels are similar with slight differences. 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. The back left of the bus has an opening for bus entrance and a 1×1 tile for the step. At the very back, there are some 1×1 trans-clear studs for the tail lights. To finish off the lower level, there’s a 1×2 white tile with a sticker for the license plate.

For the upper level of the London Bus, there are more of the 1×2 trans-clear bricks along with some 1×1 trans-clear bricks for the windows. The main feature here are some of the large bus advertisement stickers for the set. On the left side, the sticker features the Union Jack flag along with the Big Ben (10253)icon with the words, “NOW’S THE TIME TO VISIT!” On the opposite side of the London Bus, there’s … Continue

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.

It seems that the rumor of the Double VIP Points event at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home is indeed true for this weekend. So far, we can only see it on the mobile version but there is a promo listing for August 6-8. The weird thing that you can make purchases today on the regular desktop Shop@Home site and it does state that the points are doubled on the product listings and on your shopping cart. I’ll also state that the Double VIP event is for USA and I’m not sure if other countries have it or not.

August 3, 2016 / / 10 Comments

I can not confirm it at this time but there are rumors there will be a Double VIP Points event at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home this weekend from August 5-7. I was told about it by Clutch over at Bricks on the Dollar yesterday and another person has posted about it too over on Reddit.

I will try to confirm tomorrow whether or not this is true but all signs point to yes. If you’ve been waiting to pick up any of the new summer 2016 sets, I suggest waiting just a little bit longer to get those double points. For us who have already bought stuff, it’s kind of a bummer especially since LEGO has been pretty slow at announcing things lately.

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.

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.

The LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) was just officially revealed and are now available in LEGO Brand Stores, Shop@Homeicon, and at other retailers. Here’s my traditional feel guide post for this new series of minifigures.

Below is the box distribution of what you can expect in a full, unopened box. Please note that the dot method on the back of the package that people have been referring to does not work and isn’t reliable as they change with every batch.

3 per box

1. Ice Queen

The easiest way to find the Ice Queen is to feel for the large sloped dress piece as she is the only minifigure in Series 16 to have it.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) - Ice Queen

2. Desert Warrior

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

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) - Desert Warrior

3. Cyborg

The Cyborg should be easy to find with her armor piece and the blaster.

Both interviews were around 17 minutes long so if you have some time, feel free to check it out.

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.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2016 Atom

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.

It is very rare that a San Diego Comic Con exclusive minifigure have accessories but Atom also includes a 4×4 plate with four studs. The plate also includes a chipset printing with Palmer Technologies in the middle.

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.

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

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 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

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.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2016 Press Release

I’ve been sent over the official press about everything that will be happening this week at San Diego Comic Con for LEGO which you can check out below. I’ve pretty much covered almost everything listed below in the past week or so you can check out those details in my main SDCC 2016 category.

LEGO Systems Previews New LEGO® BrickHeadz Collectible Series Along with 2017 Construction sets San Diego Comic-Con International

-Company unveils life-sized super hero brick-based models, exclusive giveaways and sneak peeks of 2017 products from the hottest LEGO® properties

SAN DIEGO (July 20, 2016) – LEGO Systems, Inc. announced LEGO® BrickHeadz, a new product line for fans to collect, build and showcase LEGO® versions of iconic characters and super heroes in conjunction with San Diego Comic-Con International (SDCC), the world’s largest comic and entertainment convention. The company will participate at SDCC for the 16th year and will delight show attendees with extraordinary life-sized LEGO models, exclusive sneak peeks of 2017 LEGO building sets, one-of-a-kind minifigure giveaways, and hands-on building fun with thousands of LEGO bricks at booth #2829 in Hall D at the San Diego Convention Center, July 21-24.

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.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) Box Distribution

July 17, 2016 / / 2 Comments

As you probably saw from yesterday’s post about the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) being available in stores, there are some new details about them. It seems that there are reports the street date for them is possibly tomorrow, July 18. There is also a box breakdown of the minifigure distribution from CM4Sci on Eurobricks:

5 per box

Banana Guy
Arabian Knight
Spy

4 per box

Serenader
Imp
Hiker
Rogue
Dog Show Judge
Spooky Boy

3 per box

Babysitter
Pirate
Cyborg
Ice Queen
Penguin
Kickboxer
Wildlife Photographer

If you’re searching for some of the more highly sought-after minifigures like the Babysitter, Penguin Guy, or the Wildlife Photographer, you might have a harder time finding them since they only come three in a box. However, a popular one like the Banana Guy should be plentiful. I’ll have my “feel guide” for the Series 16 Collectible Minifigures up in a day or so stay tuned if you’re waiting for it.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) Already Being Sold?

July 16, 2016 / / 17 Comments

It appears that the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) has starting to hit some stores like Toy R Us as well as some LEGO Stores. Considering that there has been any official news or announcements on this latest wave from LEGO, it’s interesting to see them being sold so early since they were scheduled for a September release. LEGO sleuth CM4Sci has been doing some phone calling and has found out that:

They want the Disney series to come back in September so it can be sold alongside the Disney castle, so they pushed Series 16 up.

I’m not sure if this is legitimate from LEGO but remember we do have the general release of the LEGO Disney Castle (71040) on September 1 while VIPs can get it from August 17-31. If you’ve been waiting for Series 16 to come out, you may want to check around because they might be already out in the wild and you might get lucky. Let us know in the comments if you did indeed find them available for purchase in stores.

I’m not sure where the image above came from as I linked it from Eurobricks, so let me know so I can give credit.

Attendees will be given the Green Arrow polybag upon entry to the panel as a “thank you” for attending the panel. Hopefully there aren’t people that just go there to get the polybag and leave right after but I’m pretty sure there will be.

LEGO Wonder Woman Life-Size Statue Revealed for SDCC 2016

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2016 Wonder Woman

The Wall Street Journal has revealed another LEGO brick-built statue that will be displayed at San Diego Comic Con 2016 with a life-size version of Wonder Woman. The statue stands over 6’1″ and it contains 22,736 pieces and weighs 138 pounds. It took 99 hours to design and 218 hours to build it from bottom to top. It will be displayed on the outer rim of the LEGO booth (2829) where attendees are able to take pictures of it. It’s not that surprising that this character was chosen to become a statue considering that it is Wonder Woman’s 75th anniversary and DC will be celebrating it throughout the convention.

The statue will be one of many that will be displayed at the LEGO booth at SDCC which also includes LEGO Ninjago Jay. Check out the video below of a time-lapse build of the Wonder Woman statue.

The second one is for LEGO Ninjago and it will be discussing the latest season and also talk about the development of the sets as well as some new stories for Ninjago.

The LEGO Movie Sequel Script to be Rewritten

July 8, 2016 / / 6 Comments

There has been many changes going on for The LEGO Movie Sequel in the past few months. Last month, it was reported that the movie was pushed back a second time to February 2, 2019 from the original release date of May 26, 2017. Variety is now reporting that Warner Bros. has hired Raphael Bob-Waksberg to rewrite the script for the movie. With Phil Lord and Chris Miller being busy with other projects, the studio went in another direction for the writing.

Although it’s not that unusual for movies to be rewritten this early in production, it does seem a little worrisome that there are so many changes announced for The LEGO Movie Sequel so far. Hopefully these changes are for the best.

Blocks Issue 21 Press Release

July 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Blocks Issue 21

Blocks has sent over their press release for Issue 21 of the magazine.

Secrets from the LEGO Architect in Blocks magazine

Have you ever wondered about the designers behind the LEGO sets you buy? Blocks Issue 21, on sale now, has an interview with Adam Reed Tucker – the man behind LEGO Architecture. Here is a sample of the conversation he had with Blocks magazine, that had to be left out because we didn’t have the space…

Adam Reed Tucker is living the dream of many – if not most – LEGO fans. Many know that he has designed sets with the LEGO Group and tours exhibitions of his skyscrapers, but as well as that he has been a speaker for LEGO Education, worked on a DK book and contributed to the Master Builder Academy. It’s all in a day’s work for a LEGO Certified Professional.

Blocks Issue 21

But one surprising thing about this LCP is the controversial methods he will employ when necessary. He prefers to be a purist – but is willing to bend that rule when he needs to. 100% purist builders should not read any further.

‘The one area I am not a purist in,’ Adam tells Blocks, ‘is that, if it is absolutely necessary, I will cut pieces. There were times when I needed a 1×11 plate for the rollercoaster. There is nothing that I can do. I cannot take a 1×3 and a 1×8, because I can’t splice them. I could glue them, but I’ll just take a 12 and snip a

LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & 2 (75828)

When the LEGO officially announced the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 & 2 (75828) set, there was very mixed reactions to it, much like to the trailer when it came out, although it was towards the positive side more unlike for the trailer itself.

For me personally when I saw the details of the new Ecto-1, I actually liked it because of some of the details and features it has which I’ll get to later on. The Ecto-1 & 2 contains 556 pieces and retails for $59.99 which actually isn’t too bad for a licensed set. The contents of the box includes four numbered bags, one instruction booklet, and a small sticker sheet.

Some new instructions have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers today and one of the new ones includes a set we haven’t heard about yet, the Birthday Buddy (40226). It looks somewhat like a chocolate birthday cupcake with a candle on top of the head.

There are no details about it like price point or availability but I’m going to guess it’ll be priced at $9.99. I assume we’ll start seeing this set first at LEGOLAND parks as these type of sets usually show up there first and eventually at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home later on.

LEGO Minifigures Entering Jupiter’s Orbit Tomorrow

July 3, 2016 / / 3 Comments

Tomorrow night, the NASA Juno spacecraft will finally be entering Jupiter’s orbit after a five year journey. Onboard the Juno are some LEGO minifigures that were created as part of a partnership between NASA and The LEGO Group to inspire children to pursue science and engineering.

The minifigures are made out of a special space-grade aluminum and they represent some important mythological and science figures which includes the Roman god Jupiter, his wife Juno, and Galileo Galilei. Jupiter is holding a lightning bolt as he is the god of the sky and thunder. Juno holds a magnifying glass to signify her search for the truth. Galileo holds a miniature planet of Jupiter as well as a telescope.

The LEGO minifigures will not be returning to Earth as they will be intentionally dropped into Jupiter’s atmosphere after the Juno probe orbits the planet for a year.

To show my appreciation for the readers of the site, I ran a contest to giveaway a complete set a few weeks ago. The contests has recently ended and the winner is:

Joanne – Philippines

I’ve already contacted the winner and the package will be sent out soon. Thank you to everyone who entered as we had 12,800 entries which is one of the more entered giveaways I’ve done. I have a few more giveaways planned for the next couple of months so stay tuned for those.

LEGO Dimensions Sonic the Hedgehog Minifigure Revealed

July 1, 2016 / / 7 Comments

Earlier today, Mark Warburton from TT Games shared some images of the Sonic the Hedgehog minifigure that will coming out for year two of LEGO Dimensions. As we know by know Sonic the Hedgehog will be one of the new licensed properties that will be coming to the popular toys-to-life genre along with a slew of other characters.

As you can see, the Sonic LEGO minifigure is pretty true to the character with the new molded head piece. He is also shown holding a life preserver piece instead of the One Ring piece as shown at the end of the trailer but this could be just a placeholder. We’ll have to wait and see when the images of the expansion pack are released.

Thanks to everyone who emailed this in from NeoGAF while I was at work.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Mighty Micros Wolverine vs. Magneto

Just a short while ago, LEGO officially revealed the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2017 Mighty Micros sets. Like with the DC wave, there will be three sets for Marvel as well and will be displayed at San Diego Comic Con 2016 next month. As seen above, we have Wolverine vs. Magneto. Wolverine has a X-Wing Mighty Micro while the Magneto minifigure looks kind of like Onslaught with black head piece with white eyes.

Next up we also have Iron Man vs. Thanos. This is the first time we have Thanos in a traditional minifigure form, albeit a tiny version, and he comes with an Infinity Gauntlet Mighty Micro with the Infinity Gems. The Iron Man minifigure has the classic Armor Model 4 suit.

LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros: DC Comics Superman vs. Bizarro (76068)

LEGO has announced that they will be continuing the LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros line in 2017 and today they have shown off a sneak peek at some of the sets that will be coming next year.

The first set, shown above, is Superman vs. Bizarro (76068). This is the first time that the Bizarro minifigure has been in a widely available set and not the San Diego Comic Con exclusive.

Next is Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday (76070) in which Wonder Woman gets an Invisible Plane Mighty Micro made up of lots of clear pieces. Also Doomsday now becomes an official minifigure although he is the chibi version.

Last up is Batman vs. Killer Moth (76069). This version of Batman is the chibi version of the Adam West classic Batman which includes the retro Batcopter.

LEGO has hashtagged their post with #SDCC so we can probably expect to see these in person at San Diego Comic Con next month.

The LEGO Batman Movie is a 90-Minute Easter Egg

The LEGO Batman Movie

There are some new details regarding what we can expect to see from The LEGO Batman Movie. Producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller in a recent interview with Collider has given some little tidbids about the movie.

First, there are no limits to what eras of Batman will be covered. They also stated that the movie is pretty much a 90-minute Easter egg and it covers anything up to Batman v Superman as well as the future of Batman, whatever that means.

The LEGO Batman Movie won’t be out for quite a while so we can expect many more little teasers and tidbids of it until then. Hopefully, we’ll get to see something for it from San Diego Comic Con next month.

LEGO Inside Tour 2016 Exclusive Set Revealed

June 24, 2016 / / 3 Comments

The last of the LEGO Inside Tour 2016 has concluded and we can finally show the exclusive set that was given out to attendees of the event. Jan Beyer over on Facebook has posted images of the LEGO Truck Show (4000022) which is a national truck tour that started out in 1998. The truck itself is able to open up and show the stuff on the inside and it also includes eight minifigures.

It’s a really cool looking set but if you weren’t one of the LEGO Inside Tour attendees, expect to pay a hefty price for it on the secondary market. Check out a review of the LEGO Truck Show (4000022) over on the Lego with Daniel and Oriel YouTube channel which I’ve embedded below.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Voice Actors Revealed?

The LEGO Ninjago Movie

It may appear that the voice actors for The LEGO Ninjago Movie has been revealed in a tweet earlier today which shows an image of some sort of Warner Bros. catalog of upcoming films. The cast list as follows:

Master Wu – Jackie Chan
Lloyd – Dave Franco
Kai – Michael Pena
Nya – Abbi Jacobson
Jay – Kumail Nanjiani
Zane – Zach Woods
Cole – Fred Armisen

The image also shows off some new outfits for the ninjas but those could just be a placeholder. The synopsis and the release date of September 22, 2017 shown also matches up to what has been reported before. Of course there’s still a long time until the movie is released so anything can change but so far, that is what is going on with The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

Ninjago is the story of six young ninja tasked with defending their island home, called Ninjago. By night, they’re gifted warriors, using their skills and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters. By day, they’re ordinary teens struggling against their greatest enemy: high school.

June 23, 2016 / / 9 Comments

San Diego Comic Con 2016 is just around the corner and speculation has been going on about which LEGO minifigures will be given away this year. Earlier today, Sir Gareth over on Eurobricks has revealed that they are Captain America (Steve Rogers) for Marvel and the Atom for DC.

This version of Captain America is the recently controversial Hydra agent version of the character. As for the Atom, it will be from Ray Palmer from the CW’s Arrow/Flash series and the Legends of Tomorrow series. This will be the third character featured from the Arrowverse as the Green Arrow was given away back in 2013 and Arsenal from last year.

Of course, none of this is confirmed yet until they are revealed, hopefully soon, as exclusives from other companies have already been announced. Stay tuned as more details for LEGO in SDCC 2016 are released.

LEGO Ideas Guidelines and TOS Updates

June 21, 2016 / / 3 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO Ideas released a blog post with updates to the Guidelines and TOS. These new rules hopefully will weed out some projects that LEGO already has already produced based on existing IPs and such. The rules will also prevent projects that are extremely large and with no realistic way for LEGO to mass produce it. Some of the main points of the new guidelines and TOS include:

-Once we produce a LEGO Ideas set based on a third-party property, we will not accept more Ideas submissions based on that property.

-Projects must fit in a single product box, so we’re setting a part count limit of 3,000 pcs.

-Projects must focus on a single concept or third-party property.

-It’s now simpler to collaborate on projects.

-New restrictions on project contents

-New guidelines to help improve project descriptions

-Terms of Service now preserves projects that gain a significant following.

-Terms of Service revises language regarding assignment of rights.

Check out the blog post for more in-depth descriptions of these updates.

Tiny LEGO Wonders: Build 40 Surprisingly Realistic Mini-Models! Book Review

June 20, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The folks over at No Starch Press has sent me an early review copy of Tiny LEGO Wonders: Build 40 Surprisingly Realistic Mini-Models! by Mattia Zamboni. The book consists of 208 pages and as the title states, instructions for 40 mini build. The book will be available on July 30 but you can pre-order now on Amazon for 30% off the list price.

The book is separated into different categories depending on what type of vehicle the builds are about such as trains, airplanes, and boats. Each build consists of a few pages which also includes the parts needed to create it. Similar to other book instructions, the construction is condensed into a few steps with multiple pieces going into each step.

I must say that some of the vehicle builds are pretty nice looking especially with a few of the cars with the small wheels. They actually give sort of a sleek look to them.

If you’re into building minimalistic cities, Tiny LEGO Wonders: Build 40 Surprisingly Realistic Mini-Models! may be a good resource for you, There are many different builds and may provide inspiration for you to create your own miniature vehicles. The words are very minimal as there isn’t that much of a need for them. The instructions may be a little confusing as they do incorporate a number of pieces for each step. The biggest offender of this are the ship builds. Other than that, I think it’s a pretty solid book.

Again, you can now pre-order the book on Amazon at … Continue

This is the second time the sequel to the highly popular movie has been pushed back with the original release date of May 26, 2017, then to May 18, 2018. There was no reason why Warner Bros. decided to move the movie back along with a couple of other ones but we still have The LEGO Batman Movie and the LEGO Ninjago movie to look forward to in 2017.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum (76060) Set Description

June 17, 2016 / / 7 Comments

There is now a set description for the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum (76060) on Shop@Homeicon. We now know the minifigures that will be included in the set which are Doctor Strange, Baron Karl Mordo, and The Ancient One. The description also mentions the portal beast being in the set which could be Shuma Gorath but it doesn’t directly say.

Although there is an image of the instructions booklet for the set, I would rather wait until the official images come out later to post them. Thanks to Troy for the heads up.

Stage a face-off against the portal beast in Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum, with levitating function levers and mystical artifacts. Includes 3 minifigures.

Banish the portal beast from Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum!

Team up and expel the portal beast from Doctor Strange’s mysterious headquarters with some super-heroic supernatural action! Fend it off with Doctor Strange’s mystical artifacts, and evade being captured by the portal beast’s tentacles using the cape of levitation. Send in Karl Mordo to battle the beast with his quarterstaff, and help The Ancient One strike with the powerful magical fans at her fingertips!

Includes 3 minifigures: Doctor Strange, Karl Mordo and The Ancient One.
Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum features a portal beast with rotating teeth, moving eyes and tentacles that can trap minifigures, shelves for mystical artifact accessories, levitation effect for 2 minifigures, and levitation function for Doctor Strange’s cloak.

More LEGO Dimensions Year 2 Content Revealed from E3 2016

June 15, 2016 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

E3 2016 is still going on and TT Games is still promoting the new wave of LEGO Dimensions content. In today’s interview with IGN, Arthur Parsons has revealed that there will be a couple more Story Packs that will be coming in the the future including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as well as The LEGO Batman Movie.

We knew there was going to be a Fantastic Beasts pack but it’s cool that it’s a Story Pack to play out the upcoming movie. The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack was really interesting because I would’ve thought that it might be a standalone game but being part of LEGO Dimensions is neat.

Further along in the interview, Arthur also mentioned that in the Goonies pack, you can play as all the Goonies as well as Sloth. Check out the full 9-minute IGN interview below.

Tiny LEGO Wonders

No Starch Press has sent over a press release regarding one of their upcoming books called Tiny LEGO Wonders by Mattia Zamboni.

Tiny LEGO Wonders

Tiny LEGO Wonders
Build a lot with a little in the “new LEGO bible”
Tiny LEGO Wonders

San Francisco, CA (June 14, 2016) — While some LEGO models require thousands of pieces, anyone can make an impressive replica with fewer than 10 bricks, a dash of creativity, and the latest book from No Starch Press.

Tiny LEGO Wonders

Hailed as the “new LEGO bible” by VICE, Tiny LEGO Wonders (No Starch Press, $24.95, 208 pp., July 2016) is a collection of step-by-step building instructions for 40 compact yet realistic miniscale models—each built with fewer than a few hundred bricks. Packed with stunning models of engineering feats like a muscle car, a fire engine, a Swiss locomotive, and wooden ships, Tiny LEGO Wonders teaches readers how to make the most of their LEGO collection, no matter its size.

Tiny LEGO Wonders

The pint-sized models in Tiny LEGO Wonders include:
A space shuttle and crawler-transporter
Emergency vehicles like choppers, police cars, and fire trucks
A cruise ship, freighter, and wooden ships
An Airbus A380, F-15 Eagle, and V-22 Osprey
Flatbed trucks and cement mixers
Race cars like the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F1
A fleet of sci-fi military vehicles
Bullet trains like France’s high-speed TGV train

According to No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock, “Miniscale building has fascinated me since I watched a friend build an airport from a cupful of LEGO bricks. Tiny LEGO Wonders finally makes miniscale building make sense.”

Find out who’s headed to Lego Dimensions this Thursday.”

If you rewatch the video, you can see the ring spin slowly similar to how the rings from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise spin.

Gremlins Coming to LEGO Dimensions

June 7, 2016 / / 3 Comments

It looks like there was a new franchise that was snuck in a LEGO teaser earlier today in a tweet which is now deleted and replaced by another. Sharp eyes have found out that Gizmo from Gremlins was in the first teaser behind the Wicked Witch but was removed shortly after but you could still set Gizmo’s ear.

If you’re not familiar with Gremlins, it was a 1984 Warner Bros. comedy horror film that featured Gizmo who spawns other evil little Gremlins after an accident and they start causing havoc in the town.

Gremlins will be one of the many new franchises that LEGO will be bringing to LEGO Dimensions along with Harry Potter. Stay tuned as we get closer to an announcement this Thursday.

LEGO Ideas The Addams Family Mansion Achieves 10,000 Supporters

June 6, 2016 / / 3 Comments

The Addams Family Mansion by afol777 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the mansion from the original The Addams Family TV sitcom from the 60s and is a tribute to show. There are many details packed into it which ends up to be a pretty large model made up of over 7,000 pieces. Of course if it is to become an official set, it’ll have to be scaled down substantially.

LEGO DFB German National Football Team Minifigure Series (71014)

Less than a month after the release of the LEGO DFB – The Mannschaft Minifigure Series (71014), it is now completely sold out and LEGO will not be producing any more. If you didn’t know, they were only available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as well as on Shop@Home Europe. The only way now to get them is probably through eBay or BrickLink unless you know someone that was able to get them. If you were one of the lucky ones that was able to get them, consider yourself pretty lucky as there was a very limited run of these minifigures.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game Character Vignettes

June 4, 2016 / / 1 Comment

The past few weeks Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released short character vignettes of some of the playable characters in the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game. So far, they have released videos of Poe Dameron, Finn, and BB-8 which shows off some of the in-game scenes and gameplay. The game also features original dialogue by the actors so it’s not just a straight-on movie port over.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game will be available in just a few short weeks on June 28 and if you get the Season Pass, you’ll be getting a lot of additional content along with the game. If you haven’t checked out what will be included, head on over to my other post.

I’m guessing WB will be continuing to release videos of more playable characters so I’ll update this post as they come out.

LEGO Star Wars Rebel A-Wing Pilot

A couple of weeks back, it was revealed that there was a new LEGO Star Wars Rebel A-Wing Pilot (5004408) minifigure polybag. There was no details on how to obtain it until today. My friend John was at LEGOLAND California today for Star Wars Days and one of the promotions in the shop was a free gift with purchase of $30 or more on any LEGO products which was the Rebel A-Wing Pilot.

As of this point, this weekend is the only way to obtain the minifigure that I know of so if you know any people who live close by to LEGOLAND California, you may want to ask them to pick it up for you. I’ll let you guys know if this polybag will be available anywhere else.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

Earlier today, Brickset uploaded an image of a new LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) polybag which features a double decker bus. There’s no word on how to obtain the polybag at this point as there is nothing listed on the LEGO Store calendar for July. We’ll have to wait and see if it is part of an August promo or not since the it goes great with the upcoming LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253) which will be releasing mid-June for VIPs and to the general public on July 1.

We’ll also have to see if this is a regional set or not as it does feature something prominent from the UK and we usually don’t get stuff like that here in the US. If it is, you can always build your own with the instructions but you’ll be missing the stickers for the advertisements on the sides of the bus.

LEGO Issues Official Statement Regarding Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) Instructions

June 1, 2016 / / 9 Comments

LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056)

LEGO has released an official statement in the LAN regarding the gear instruction issue for the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A few other reviews out there have expressed concern that the gears weren’t shifting in the correct order. If you read the statement below, LEGO did take this point into consideration and decided that the way that it was built in the instructions gave more of a smoother experience but that’s up for the individual builders to decide which way to build it.

Thank you to all our dedicated fans for the comments regarding the GT3 RS by LEGO Technic.

It is correct that the gears in this model are not sequential as in the real Porsche PDK. This is however, a deliberate decision taken to ensure that we make the best possible LEGO version of this amazing car that both meets our design requirements and gives everyone a great building and product experience.

It was a considered decision taken during development that the gears running in the correct order meant that it did not result in a great experience when driving the car. Too many gears are engaged at the same time and smooth running with all those tolerances is just not possible.

If you switch the build in steps 267 and 269 the gears will run sequentially, and everyone who feels that this is the better solution should feel encouraged to do so.

LEGO Technic really is the ultimate open source design product and now that it is finally available, we

New LEGO Americas Community Manager Announced

May 26, 2016 / / 1 Comment

It was been fairly quiet on the news front but over on the LEGO Ambassador Network, it has been announced that LEGO has found a replacement for the Americas Community Manager position which was previously held by Kevin Hinkle. As you may or may not have known, the position was in the air the past few months as Kevin was moving to another position within The LEGO Group. Starting on July 1st, Paul Striefler will be taking over and you will be able to meet him in some upcoming LEGO conventions.

I am happy to inform you that we have accomplished the very difficult task of finding a suitable candidate to replace Kevin Hinkle as Community Manager for Americas. Although we are sad to say goodbye to Kevin as a team member in AFOL Relations & Programs, we are thrilled that we are able to provide Kevin with a chance to explore new opportunities within The LEGO Group, and even within the LEGO Community Engagement (LCE) Department, ensuring that Kevin will still be a close colleague. As Kevin has already told you through an earlier LAN post, he will move into a new role as Business Integration Manager, using his years’ of experience engaging with and supporting the TFOL and AFOL community to build a stronger collaboration between the LEGO markets, business units and community.

We are very happy to announce that our new Community Manager for Americas is Paul Striefler. Some of you already know Paul as he has been assisting Kevin for more than

You’ve probably seen a glimpse of this set on the LEGO July 2016 Store Calendar but from June 30 to July 10, VIPs can get a Free exclusive LEGO Classic Knights (5004419) set with purchases of $50 or more.

With three different classic themes that have been released or will be releasing with the Knights, there aren’t that much “Classic” themes to choose from.

New LEGO Home Furnishing Items Found at LEGOLAND Billund

May 21, 2016 / / 3 Comments

The talk of the town the past couple of days or so are some new LEGO home furnishing items that have been found over at LEGOLAND Billund by Andres over a Zusammengebaut.com . For some of these items, fans have made their own custom ones but it’s nice to see some official LEGO products as well. Hopefully we’ll see these items available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home in the near future.

Update: I have found out from my friend John who was at LEGOLAND California and the items are now available for purchase. Both the Minifigure Frame and the Keychain Rack are $16.99 each.

The first is a 46 piece LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Minifigure Frame which is able to hold up to 15 super hero minifigures. There’s no word yet on whether a DC version will be released as well.

The second is an official LEGO Keychain Rack which consists of 32 pieces.

Finally, there is a new LEGO Minifigure Cake Mold. There has been a Minifigure Cake Mold released before back in 2009 with item 852708 but that was a red version.

Bricks Issue 12

The guys over at Bricks Magazine is celebrating their first year and they have sent over a press release of the latest issue.

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Celebrate the Bricks Birthday as we turn one with the release of issue 12.

Join us in a retrospective look at our first year and relive the incredible adventure that has been 12 months in Bricks. This journey of ours leads perfectly into this month’s topic – quest. A quest can be described as an adventurous expedition with an end goal – much like a LEGO build.

Bricks Issue 12

The questing fun starts in Elevendale, where Miku the dragon takes us on his hunt for the lost dragon with Emily Jones and the elves. These sets have produced some lovely pieces and enchanting builds; it is a world you won’t want to miss. As the story closes on a cliffhanger Bricks ventures over to Eurobricks to examine their long-running LEGO fantasy role-playing game, Guilds of Historica; a fictional world of territories building custom creations to earn points for their chosen factions.

There’s plenty of building to take part in as we take a stab at recreating Jason Allemann’s working trebuchet, build a medieval crane using the book Build Your Own LEGO Knights Realm. James Pegrum gets into the spirit of our theme as he recreates Bilbo’s banquet, showing us ways to make trees and authentic Hobbit furniture. There is insight from Timothy Jones as he explains how he created a giant blue sea serpent and Claus-Marc Hahn reveals how his incredible tower

LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253) Officially Announced

May 19, 2016 / / 7 Comments

LEGO Creator Big Ben 10253

LEGO has officially announced the next direct-to-consumer set with the next landmark-type set with the LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253). Some of you may already saw this leaked out yesterday ahead of the embargo which was very disappointing for those who decided to follow the rules.

Anyways, Big Ben consists of 4,163 pieces and will retail for $249.99 which is a heck of a deal considering how many pieces it has compared to the price. Big Ben will become the 5th largest set that LEGO has produced and the second set this year to make that list with the Ghostbusters Firehouse (75827) being released earlier this year. It is on scale with the Tower Bridge (10214) so if you have that set, you can display it next to each other.

LEGO VIPs will have early access to the set starting on June 15 and to the general public on July 1. Check out the press release and more high-quality images below.

10253 Big Ben
Ages 16+. 4,163 pieces.

It’s been a few weeks since Captain America: Civil War has been released so I think it’s about time to do some reviews on the LEGO Marvel Super Heores sets based on the movie. The first set is the Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050). It consists of 179 pieces and retails for $19.99. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instructions, a sticker sheet, and a comic.

LEGO Minifigures Online Appears to be Cancelling in October

May 15, 2016 / / 4 Comments

It appears that the LEGO Minifigures Online video game will be ending later this year when the licensing agreement ends in October. Funcom has released their annual report and the numbers did not meet the forecasts of the company, mainly with the lack of players and revenue generated.

The beta version of LEGO Minifigures Online was first introduced in 2013 when it was a free-to-play MMO game model with microtransactions in game. It was then relaunched into a full game in 2015 and it was changed to a buy-to-play business model where you purchase the full game first.

The game had a tie-in with the physical LEGO Collectible Minifigures which included codes to unlock specific minifigures in game, each with their own abilities.

Funcom communicated in the Q3 2014 report that the initial numbers coming in from the first weeks of live data indicated that it would take longer than planned to achieve the internal targets for player and revenue in 2014 and 2015. The Company has during 2015 been unable to improve these numbers. As a result of this the revenues generated by LEGO® Minifigures Online did not meet the internal forecasts. The Company has therefore fully written off the underlying assets of the game. As of the time of this annual report, the Company does not find it likely that any of the game metrics will improve, and has adjusted its investment in the game accordingly. The license agreement with LEGO for the LEGO® Minifigures Online game ends October 2016.

LEGO City Fun in the Park - City People Pack (60134)

There are numerous reports that some of the summer 2016 LEGO City sets have been released at Toys R Us including the highly anticipated Fun in the Park – City People Pack (60134). Technically it won’t officially be available at other places like Shop@Homeicon on May 22 but you can get it a week early at retail price of $39.99. Your mileage may vary but there’s a good chance they have it in the back if it’s not on the floor. Plus for getting it, there’s also a promotion going on for a free LEGO Ninjago Battle Pack with purchases of $30 or more.

Spend a great day in the park with some LEGO City residents, with playground equipment, picnic table, park bench, hot dog cart, 14 minifigures, and baby and dog figures.

Meet a bunch of new people spending a beautiful day in the park! Help the father watch his baby, while the kids play in the playground with their grandparents. Buy a hot dog at the cart and enjoy a bite to eat on the park bench, before getting back to work with the painter. Watch out for the dog though, he’ll grab your food if you’re not careful. This is the perfect pack to populate your city!

The set has 330 pieces and includes minifigures of Captain America, Hawkeye, Vision, and of course, Spider-Man. One of the main reasons why this set is a summer release is probably to conceal that Spider-Man will be in Civil War. The set looks decent but the main draw is in the minifigures. The Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) is reported to be a Toys R Us exclusive set.

The LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order General (5004406) minifigure polybag is finally listed on Toys R Us’ website for $4.99. This most likely means that it should be showing in stores here in the US as part of an upcoming promotion. This minifigure was first released as a promo in TRU Hong Kong and after a few months, it will finally be available here. The character isn’t too special but polybag collectors would want it anyways. I’ll try to check the status of the minifigure when I get to work tomorrow. The item number is 553205 if you’re searching for it in stores.

Update: I’ve checked the system and there are 6,300 polybags at the closest distribution center here in California waiting to be sent out to stores in nearby states. There’s still no word on when they will be available.

A fellow reader has sent me to Jay’s Brick Blog who has found an image of what appears to be a new LEGO set called What Am I (40161) which is loosely based on Guess Who board game but with LEGO minifigures.

The set was found at an Italian LEGO Store so I have a feeling that it’s a LEGO Brand Store/LEGOLAND exclusive. There’s no mentioning of pricing but it does have 536 pieces so it’s a fairly medium-sized set but yet portable. Of course you can customize it with your own minifigures for more play value.

No word on a US release date but I do look forward to seeing it when it is released.

Disney Infinity Cancelled, More Fuel for Star Wars to LEGO Dimensions?

May 10, 2016 / / 15 Comments

Just a short while ago, Disney Infinity SVP & GM, John Blackburn, announced that they have decided to discontinue the production of Disney Infinity. Their final retail releases will be coming out in the next month or two but that is it for the toys-to-life brand. As you may or may not know, Disney Infinity 3.0 was the home to Star Wars line and that’s why LEGO Dimensions didn’t have any expansion packs based on the theme. At E3 2015, Disney vice president of production John Vignocchi also stated that Star Wars will never come to LEGO Dimensions.

Does this announcement of Disney Infinity being cancelled pave way for the Star Wars franchise to come to LEGO Dimensions? If you recall, there was a rumor last year from a fairly reliable source on Eurobricks that there could be LEGO Dimensions Star Wars expansion packs coming in late 2016/early 2017.

There’s no actual correlation between today’s announcement and the rumors but who knows if there’s already a deal between LEGO and Disney/Lucasfilm to produce expansion packs for Dimensions. This could also mean that other Disney franchises could also be coming over to LEGO Dimensions. Stay tuned as I’ll definitely update if there’s any news, especially with E3, San Diego Comic Con, and Gamescom coming in the next few months.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098) Review

May 9, 2016 / / 7 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Series Assault on Hoth (75098)

The May the 4th flagship set for this year was announced back in February with the LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098)icon. Almost immediately, there was an overwhelmingly negative response to the set and pretty easy to see why it got such as response. Let’s take a deeper look at the set to see if all of the negative press was warranted.

Starting today at Toys R Us in stores only, there is a promotion for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag free with purchases of $30 or more. This promotion is slightly better than the one LEGO will be having at the end of the month. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to purchase it individually but your milage may vary.

LEGO DFB German National Football Team Minifigure Series (71014)

If you’re a LEGO Collectible Minifigures completionist, you would know that the DFB German National Football Team (71014) will be released next week in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If you’re lucky to be in those countries or have someone picking them up for you, you would know that the easiest way to find each minifigure is to get a complete box since there’s really no way to feel for them.

Fortuantely, someone from the Singapore Brick Users Group has managed to get a full box and has given a breakdown of how many of each German player will be in a box.

3 per box

Joachim Löw – Coach
Manuel Neuer – #1
Benedikt Höwedes – #4
Mats Hummels – #5
Jérôme Boateng – #17
Christoph Kramer – #20
Max Kruse – #23

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) Polybag Review

May 6, 2016 / / 6 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America's Motorcycle (30447)

If you followed one of my previous posts, you would’ve probably found the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag at Toys R Us. It contains only 25 pieces and retails for $3.99. This is also the exact same polybag that will be included in a LEGO promotion from May 27-30 for spending $35 or more.

This version of Captain America has been in a few sets including the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets as well as a couple of the Civil Wars sets but this is the cheapest way to get the minifigure.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America's Motorcycle (30447)

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America's Motorcycle (30447)

The black motorcycle frame is fairly rare as it has only been in two other sets. The motorcycle also has a small sidecar which has a flick-fire missile attached to it with a small clip. The front of the sidecar has another clip to slide Captain America’s shield in.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America's Motorcycle (30447)

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America's Motorcycle (30447)

For what you get with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag, it’s definitely worth looking for at Toys R Us especially if you collect the Super Heroes sets. I would totally spend $4 for it instead of spending $35.

It’s also a little strange that TRU is selling the polybag ahead of a LEGO promo in the same month because that usually doesn’t happen, especially here in the US. If you’re searching for it, the item number is #396626. If the polybags are not on the floor, they’re probably behind a counter somewhere or in the back of house.

LEGO Star Wars Escape the Space Slug Building Instructions

May 5, 2016 / / 10 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Escape the Space Slug

This past Saturday, LEGO Brand Stores held a special event for LEGO Users Group (LUG) members for the start of the May the 4th shopping event. Members of various LUGs around the world were invited to the event at their local LEGO Store and there were some LEGO Star Wars exclusives for the event including an Assault on Hoth art poster as well as the Escape the Space Slug set.

The 161 piece set was obtained by spending $150 on LEGO Star Wars sets and I believe they were limited to 28 per store. The box is similar to the exclusive ones that are sold at various conventions like San Diego Comic Con.

LEGO Star Wars Escape the Space Slug

The Escape the Space Slug set is based on the scene in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo and the rest of the crew escaped during the Battle of Hoth and went into hiding on the maw of the exogorth.

This particular set shows a small diorama of the scene after the Millennium Falcon flew out of the space slug’s mouth. This set is actually the first time that LEGO has created the Space Slug so that’s pretty neat.

Although there are no new or rare pieces so if you have the correct parts, you can build your own. My friend Joey, who also went to his LUG event, was nice enough to send over a PDF copy of the instructions for me to share so you can download it here. The file is about 14mb so it’s not … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Rogue One

The fairly recent trend in LEGO animated filming is recreating official movie trailers and a group of people called the Animators Collective has done just that with the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer. The stop-motion video took only a few weeks to create but it is a perfect representation of the trailer. The animators have also released behind-the-scenes videos including the VFX Breakdown as well as Behind the Scenes shots, and a side-by-side comparison.

Sonic the Hedgehog Rumored to be Confirmed for LEGO Dimensions

May 4, 2016 / / 18 Comments

There are some new rumors regarding some of the expansion packs for Series 2 of LEGO Dimensions. CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has reported that one of the packs is “confirmed” to be Sonic the Hedgehog (71244). Of course, nothing is really confirmed until there are there actual details about them but CM4Sci has proven to be a very reliable source of information. Furthermore in the thread, there are strong suggestions that the KR (71252) pack will be based on the Knight Rider franchise.

To give a short roundup of some rumored LEGO Dimensions expansion packs for Series 2, we have the promotional Supergirl from E3, Sonic the Hedgehog, Knight Rider, Jillian Holtzmann from the Ghostbusters reboot, Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Fantasitc Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Teen Titans GO!

I have a feeling we’ll have more information about the next series of LEGO Dimensions expansion packs next month at E3 as well as San Diego Comic Con in July.

With very much hype on social media on the past few weeks, the Voltron – Defender of the Universe project by len_d69 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas.

From the looks of it, a majority of the minifigure is the same as the Supergirl we got in the Brainic Attack (76040) set except that the head and hair are new.

There’s no mentioning on how to get it but Just2Good over in the article says it will be an E3 exclusive promo in June. If this is true, hopefully she’ll be available at a later time so people who can’t attend E3 will be able to get one in an expansion pack.

“The family has for some years been making careful preparations for the future. I am very pleased to say that we are now ready to take certain important steps toward the smooth generational handover that will continue to maintain active family ownership of the LEGO Group – not just for the next generation but also for generations to come.

“As part of the preparations, we have decided that in each generation one person should be taking on the role as the most active owner. The most active owner will on behalf of the whole family be close to the LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation and KIRKBI. We in the family have agreed that Thomas should assume this role in the fourth generation. Thomas has built up an in-depth knowledge of the companies, and he enjoys the backing of the whole family.”
