LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
A few days ago, a new theatrical poster for The LEGO Batman Movie was released. Today, the IMAX poster for the movie was also revealed. It’s nothing too spectacular as it only shows Batman, Batgirl, and Robin in a darker setting. Hopefully there will be some cool collectible glasses that you can keep. Will you be seeing the movie in standard or IMAX?
There are now official images of the upcoming promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Gingerbread Man (5005156) minifigure box. You can get it for free with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home from December 12-18. The box is similar to the Easter Minifigure (5004486) but decorated to his theme. The Gingerbread Man himself is not exclusive as he was released back in 2013 with Series 11 Collectible Minifigures (71002). The only difference is that this one does not have the red “Dunk Me” cup as an accessory.
For those who missed him a few years ago or got into LEGO after that set retired, next week is you best chance of getting him if you’re still doing some holiday shopping. Of course you can also BrickLink him but he commands around $10 for just the minifigure.
Continuing with my reviews of The LEGO Batman Movie sets, the next one I’ll be doing is the Scarecrow Special Delivery (70910). This set contains 204 pieces and retails for $19.99. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instruction booklet, and a small sticker sheet.
