LEGO Marvel’s Avengers Video Game Exclusive Minifigure Revealed?

April 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

Back in January, it was announced that TT Games will be releasing LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game this fall. As we’ve come to expect, an exclusive minifigure or set would probably be included with pre-orders of the game. Speculation stated as readers tried to figure out who or what it could be. One popular guess was Agent Phil Coulson as he’s a popular character that hasn’t been represented as a physical minifigure yet and wasn’t included in the The SHIELD Helicarrier (76042).

Wikipedia, of all places, may have revealed the exclusive minifigure for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers as Falcon, most likely the version from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I’m not totally sure where the information came from as the press release that was cited didn’t mention anything about Falcon. As for him being the exclusive pre-order bonus minifigure? I’m okay with it as we don’t have a movie version of him either. What are your guys’ thoughts about Falcon potentially being the minifig that’ll be included with the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game?

Update: The part about the Falcon minifigure has been taken down on Wikipedia.

Big Changes For LEGO Ideas

April 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

To celebrate the first birthday, LEGO Ideas has made some important changes to the lifespan of projects. Every project will now be given one year (365 days) to achieve 10,000 supporters and will be awarded more time when they hit certain milestones. For projects that get 1,000 supporters, they will get an additional 6 months (182 days) and if projects reach 5,000 supporters before time is up, they will get another 6 month extension (182 days). That means projects now have the potential to get a maximum of two years (729 days) to get 10,000 supporters.

For those projects that are currently very close to hitting 10k with only a few days left to go, they can now breathe a sigh of relief as they now have more time to get the required number of supporters. This change also helps projects that aren’t IP-related ones as they sometimes get looked over for projects that do have IPs so that’s cool. Head over to the blog post to read more about the major changes coming to LEGO Ideas.
