The new LEGO Star Wars in 100 Scenes
Six movies… a lot of LEGO bricks
Experience Star Wars as you’ve never seen it before, with 100 classic scenes retold in LEGO bricks.
From The Phantom Menace to Return of the Jedi, all the most iconic moments are here, along with your favorite characters in minifigure form.With fascinating LEGO facts and unique commentary from LEGO C-3PO, this is the epic Star Wars saga on a whole new scale!
Star Wars Celebration 2015 will be happening next weekend in Anaheim and the event has gotten into the LEGO exclusive sets as well. A user by the name of conventionsales on eBay has posted a somewhat blurry image of the exclusive set that attendees would be able to get at Star Wars Celebration. The image shows off a LEGO Star Wars Tatooine Mini Build similar to the sets you can get at San Diego Comic Con which features a landscape of Tatooine that has the Lars homestead, a Sandcrawler, a landspeeder, microbuilds of some of the characters, and a C-3PO minifigure.

There’s no word on how attendees will be able to get the set at the event or how much it will cost but you can be sure that it’ll go for a lot on the secondary market. I’m sure completionists will definitely try to get their hands on it. We’ll have more details as they become available as we get closer to the convention.

As we slowly get closer to the release of the LEGO Jurassic World video game, we’ve been teased with various clips and images of the upcoming game. Today, another small reveal has been released with our first look at the LEGO version of the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park III. As you can see from the image above, Alan Grant, in an alternate outfit from JP3, and Billy is being chased by one of the main dinosaurs in the film.
If you didn’t hear from last week, various retailers will have different exclusives with Gamestop having the Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag while Target has the Dr. Wu minifigure polybag. I have a feeling other retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon will have pre-order bonuses as well. The release date is tentatively scheduled for June 12.
For those who are still playing LEGO Legends of Chima Online, you have about two months left to play it as the game will be shut down on June 1, 2015 for both online and on iOS.
LEGO Legends of Chima Online was released in 2013 when the theme was in its prime but as we know by now, the popular theme will be finished with the final wave this summer. I’m not sure how popular the game was but it seems that people were still enjoying it on the message boards. Below is the official announcement of the closing of LEGO Legends of Chima Online.
We are sorry to tell you that the game will no longer be accessible starting June 1, 2015 at 9:00am EST both online and through our iOS app. On this date, you will no longer be able to play the game or spend any remaining Gold Bricks. Please be aware that if you have any remaining Gold Bricks, you must use them before the game goes offline on June 1, 2015 at 9:00am EST.
We hope you had a great time exploring the world of CHIMA Online.
Thank you,
The Game Team
A couple of days ago, I came across this cool MOC by Geng Lei loosely translated as Flying Tigers. This MOC consists of a couple of the new LEGO Speed Champions sets as well as from the LEGO City Monster Truck Transporter (60027)
The MOC gives off a Voltron Vehicle Force look to it combined with a Transformers feel. The skeleton of the mech is created from some LEGO Hero Factory parts while the exoskeleton is created with the various vehicles including the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and two Porsche 911s.
As a fan of both Voltron/Transformers and the LEGO Speed Champions theme, this MOC to me is very well done and it gives off that coolness factor.
Update: Chris has informed me that the MOC looks more like Menasor which is pretty true.
While I was at the LEGO Store yesterday taking pictures of the new Pick-A-Model sets on the Pick-A-Brick wall, I also got a chance to take a look at the Build-A-Minifigure bar as well. Like with the PAB Wall, the Minifigure bar was also changed out on the first of the month with some elements that haven’t been there, at least to my knowledge. There might have been some parts I missed while I was there so I may update the images when I go to the Mini Model Building event on Tuesday.
For the torsos, I like the inclusion of the Space minifigure floating and the airport crew ones.
For the legs, I feel like I missed a couple but below are the ones I found.
There are a bunch of great accessories that are in this quarter including the pretty rare brown cat and the seagull which only came with the Sea Captain from the Series 10 Collectible Minifigures. The armor piece is also pretty rare because it only came with the Heroic Knight from Series 9. The 2×2 tile pieces are pretty neat which are from the Galaxy Squad theme. I think I’ve also seen the gray katanas for this quarter but I wasn’t able to find them.
The International Space Station by XCLD is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. A day ago, it was 2100 supporters away from 10k but with the help of Reddit, it hit the milestone a short time ago. This was one of the projects that had less than a month before it would have been archived.
In its current configuration, the set comes with 2 Soyuz and 2 Progress capsules as well as astronaut and cosmonaut minifigures. There are also a lot of play features that you can read more on at the project link above. XCLD has provided alternate sizes of the ISS in case LEGO thinks the original XL project is too large.
LEGO Ideas projects that were grandfathered in from LEGO CUUSOO now have only 26 days to get the remaining number of supporters before they will be archived. You can check out those projects here. The International Space Station now joins The Discworld, Science Adventures, Medieval Market Street, Disney Princess Frozen Elsa’s Ice Palace, Douglas DC-3, and Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex in a jam packed First 2015 Review Stage.
