Rumors of LEGO Star Wars Heading to LEGO Dimensions in 2016/2017

July 26, 2015 / Michael Tran / 6 Comments

Back in June, there was a statement by Disney vice president of production John Vignocchi during E3 about if fans would ever be seeing Star Wars coming to LEGO Dimensions and his answer was pretty much no. However today over on Eurobricks, Sir von Lego, who has been known to have insider information, has reported say that they have heard about LEGO Dimensions Star Wars expansion packs coming in late 2016/early 2017.

If you’ve been following anything Star Wars gaming-related, you would know that Disney will be releasing Star Wars characters as part of their Infinity 3.0 line which was announced back in May. Currently, there will be at least two waves of Star Wars Infinity 3.0 characters released this year but no word on any future expansions beyond that at this time.

Could LEGO and Disney have an agreement in place for Star Wars to come to LEGO Dimensions after 2015? Possibly, considering that the LEGO Star Wars license will be running until at least 2022 and there has been high interest from fans for LEGO Dimensions even before its release. Also keep in mind that Sir von Lego has been true to their word the past few years regarding rumors of future LEGO products so it’s pretty hard going against their word. If this rumor is true, we might hear something official at E3 or San Diego Comic Con in 2016 so stay tuned.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy by Vesa Lehtimäki (Avanaut)

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in March, I reported on a few upcoming LEGO DK books that will be released late this year. One of these books by Finnish LEGO photographer Vesa Lehtimäki, aka Avanaut, was tentatively called LEGO Star Wars: Through a Lens but the finalized title of the book is called LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy. It’ll retail for $24.99 and has 176 pages and will be released on November 10.

If you’re into LEGO photography, you’ve probably heard of Avanaut’s work as it has also been used in the LEGO The Hobbit set promotions. I think LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy will make a very nice coffee table book as it can show off what a person with a camera and LEGO can do with some imagination. Obviously, Avanaut is just a one person in the popular LEGO photography community and this book may be a stepping stone to introduce more people into the hobby.

LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son’s favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2015 Dagobah Mini-Build Review

July 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In probably my final coverage San Diego Comic Con 2015, minus the upcoming giveaway, I have the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build. It contains 177 pieces and retailed for $40 at the convention. The set is similar in style to the Tatooine Mini-Build from Star Wars Celebration 2015.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2015 Dagobah Mini-Build Building Instructions

July 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

You guys wanted it and here it is. On the third day of San Diego Comic Con 2015, LEGO had on sale for ticketed attendees the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build set. I’ve opened up the set and have provided readers with the building instructions for the set.

For this set, there are a few rare pieces like the tan satellite dish 4617765, the 2x2w bow 6055868, the dark tan jumper plate 6092591, the dark tan round plate 6038461, and the olive green 1×1 plate 6058245. Also, the gray frog has been in a few sets but it’s mostly been used in the modular sets so they could be fairly rare too. Finally, the complete R2-D2 minifigure has only been in two sets, the Jedi Interceptor (75038) and the Sandcrawler (75059).

Head over to my Flickr album to see all the building steps for the Dagobah Mini-Build in an organized fashion or you can download the PDF I’ve also provided to use at your leisure.

I hope you guys have enjoyed these building instructions for the SDCC 2015 exclusive sets. As I’ve been telling readers, I feel that these builds should be enjoyed by as much people as possible and this is a way for me to give back to the LEGO community.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188) Listed as Sold Out on Shop@Home

July 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

Well it looks like the time is finally here. The iconic LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188) has finally been listed as “Sold Out” on Shop@Home. The status was changed from “Call to check product availability” just yesterday so it may seem that the set will be finally retiring after 7 long years on the market. You can still pick up the Death Star Amazon at retail price and some LEGO Brand Stores may still have some left. I did hear from a source that the Death Star will be gone by the end of the year and it looks like it may be happening sooner than we think. If you have been holding off on picking it up, I suggest you drop what you’re doing and go get it.

There was a rumor earlier this year that a new Death Star set would be coming out in 2016 to replace the current one. With the news of set 10188 listed as sold out on Shop@Home combined with the rumor, it’s possible that we will actually be seeing a new one next year.

LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base Set Teaser?

July 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO has published a new mini movie over on the LEGO Star Wars minisite called the Battle of Hoth and it may give a teaser for the new LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base set that’s rumored to be released in October. The last Hoth Echo Base was released back in 2011 and it looks like there will be a lot of updates and play features to go along with it.

The mini movie shows the entrance to the base itself and the control room. There are also a couple of turrets shown as well as an ion cannon. The shield generator is also shown in the video which might mean that it could be in the set too. The previous version did not have it. Other things that are shown includes a e-web turret, a speeder bike, and a snowspeeders. The video also Luke hanging in the Wampa cave but whether that part will be included in the set remains to be seen.

As for the minifigures, there are some Rebel troopers, an updated Leia, K-3PO, and R3-A2 in the Echo Base scene and Han was at the Wampa cave.
