There’s a new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron polybag in the wild called The Avengers Quinjet (30304) and it consists of 56 pieces. It features an updated Quinjet that will be seen in the upcoming movie. It’s a little different that in the 2012 version (30162). There’s no word at this point of its availability. Thanks to Nerleg for emailing in the image.
In a Q&A session at the Santa Barbara Film Festival where The LEGO Movie was screened earlier this week, Chris Miller and Phil Lord gave a small tidbid of what will happen in The LEGO Movie 2. They mentioned that the sequel will be a few years after the events of the first movie (four years to be exact) and will “focus Emmet and his sister in a ‘weird, dystopian version of Bricksburg.'” Yes, you read that right. Emmet has a sister! We reported that the sequel will be featuring more female characters so Emmet’s sister is confirmed to be one of these characters. The release of The LEGO Movie 2 won’t be happening for another three years in 2018 with the LEGO Ninjago and LEGO Batman movies premiering before it so there’s still a lot more stuff we can expect to hear about in the next few years.
Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, a few days ago Screen Junkies has released a hilarious Honest Trailer for The LEGO Movie which you can check out below.

Skylor is also featured and she is an orange ninja who has the ability to steal powers from other elemental fighters.

It’s another avenue that you can use to sell your items besides on BrickLink, BrickOwl, eBay, or Amazon just to name a few.

If you’ve ever bought or sold LEGO products before, you know that it could be a difficult process to deal with. Brick Classifieds tries to make that process a simpler one. It’s sort of a classified ad to sell your items. What makes a little unique is that some of the sellers are also BrickPicker members which has their own community of collectors and investors there. Member of the forums there are pretty cool and the mods run a pretty tight ship.

Also with every item listed, it’s required to have an actual photo of the item because stock photos are not allowed.

Today WB Games released a teaser trailer for the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World video game. The video shows the iconic water cups from Jurassic Park with the T-Rex footstep rumble. The Rex then crushes the cups and does his very familiar roar and something hilarious ensues. You can now pre-order the game from GameStop and I’m pretty sure that they’ll be having an exclusive minifigure to go along with it.
To coincide with the teaser trailer, Chris Pratt has revealed an official image of his character in the movie, Owen. Pratt is on a roll with LEGO minifigures of his characters with Emmet from The LEGO Movie and Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Again, I did see the trailer and the minifigure this morning but wasn’t near a computer to report it. Thank you to everyone who emailed about it.
A few days ago, we reported that a Doctor Who project would indeed become a LEGO Ideas set and today LEGO has confirmed that rumor. The project by Andrew Clark, Doctor Who and Companions, will become LEGO Ideas set #12. It’s rumored that all 13 incarnations of the Doctor will be included in the set so I hope that’s true. For you Whovians, your request of an official LEGO set has been achieved. This also makes the second project from a TV show that will become a LEGO set with The Big Bang Theory being the first.
LEGO has also finished their review of the Second 2014 period and the WALL-E project by Angus MacLane will become the 11th set to be produced. Angus is an animator and director who actually worked on the film and he was done a great job creating the model. WALL-E was released in theaters back in 2008 and became a box office hit which earned it the Best Animated Feature Film at the 81st Academy Awards.
The design, pricing, and availability of both newly designated LEGO Ideas sets are still being work on and will be released later this year. Congratulations to both of the project creators. The third 2014 LEGO Review is already underway and we can expect the results late spring/early summer.
On a side note, I did see this news early this morning but I was not able to be at the computer. I appreciate everyone who emailed in about it.
