LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Set Descriptions (Spoilers)

January 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 20 Comments

We’ve already seen images of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron sets but the chums over at Brick Fanatics have found some details of the sets from the Argos website. Apparently, Argos don’t know that the Avengers sets are on the Marvel Super Heroes side because they labeled them as DC Comics but that’s beside the point. Additionally, there are only descriptions for five of the six sets in the wave. Beware, there might be some slight spoilers so you’ve been warned.

Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029)

Team up with Iron Man MK45 to take on the Ultron army in an ultimate battle! Defend against aerial attacks from the Ultron vehicle piloted by the Sub-Ultron officer. Take cover as Sub-Ultron troopers leap from the back of the vehicle and fire their stud shooters.

Then activate Iron Mans Super Jumper to topple the Sub-Ultron officer and bring the vehicle crashing to the ground! Includes 4 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Sub-Ultron officer, 2 Sub-Ultron troopers and Iron Man MK45.

Duel with Hydra/Hydra Showdown (76030)

Join Thor and Hawkeye as they chase the Hydra henchman through the Sokovia winter forest! Place Hawkeye in the cockpit of the awesome Avengers 4×4 vehicle and accelerate away.

Then launch Thor on his Super Jumper and disable the stud shooter with one perfectly aimed jump! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons

One of our readers has tweeted us a new LEGO City Playmat (5002936) that we could be seeing here in the States this year. The playmat is double-sided and on one side it has a setting for the new 2015 Swamp Police sets while the other side has a setting for the Construction sets. If it is released here, it’ll probably retail for $14.99 like previously released playmats. Thanks to Eric for the heads up.

Nexon Creating LEGO RPG Mobile Game

January 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Nexon, who makes some very popular role-playing MMO games like MapleStory and Dragon Nest, will be collaborating with LEGO and TT Games to create a new LEGO RPG mobile game for Android and iOS devices. This new RPG will be based on various LEGO themes including Ninjago. Nexon president and CEO stated:

“LEGO is among the most wildly successful and iconic brands of our time, and we are thrilled to be teaming up with TT Games to bring Lego-based online games to mobile gamers. Players can look forward to the fun and unique game experiences that Nexon is known for, along with the Lego characters they have come to love. This agreement is the most recent example of Nexon’s ongoing quest for creative, new ideas for great games, both through our own development and by partnering with other creators of world-class IP.”

Nexon has somewhat been involved with LEGO since 2013 when founder Jung-Ju “Jay” Kim purchased BrickLink and his team has been making changes to the site since to make it more updated. The new LEGO RPG is expected to be released in 2016 and will initially be available in Asia which is the norm if you’ve play any Nexon games before. I’ve personally played both MapleStory and Dragon Nest and I can say that they are very addicting games so hopefully this new LEGO game will follow in their footsteps.

2015 First Quarter LEGO Store Pick-A-Brick Wall

January 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

I finally had time to get to my local LEGO Store to check out the new elements on the Pick-A-Brick Wall. During each quarter of the year, you can expect some new stuff showing up on the wall that you may not have seen before. Some of them are labeled with themes that the parts would go well with and for this quarter they include LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Friends as well as some that go well with anything in general. From my understanding, these elements are sent to LEGO Stores throughout the US so you may also have seen them already.

For elements that go well with LEGO Star Wars, we have light bluish gray modified 1x1s with handle, trans-orange cheese slopes, trans-red round 1x1s, trans-neon yellow round 2x2s, and black 1x2s with clip.

2015 First Quarter LEGO Store Pick-A-Brick Wall

For the LEGO Friends elements, we got pink 1×2 tiles, lavender 1×2 plates, lime green 1×1 studs, dark bluish gray modified 1x2s with arms, light bluish gray 2×2 tiles, white modified 1×2 grills, and trans-green round 1x1s.

Finally for the general parts, there were black modified 1x1s with headlight, medium blue 1×2 plates, orange 1x2s, yellow 1x2s with printed face, dark pink 1×2 bricks, tan 2x3s, lime 4×4 plates, medium blue 2x4s, black palm tree tops, and lime 45 slopes.

Overall, there are some very nice elements for this quarter with some of the more popular ones being the grey 2×2 tiles, the yellow 1x2s with faces, and surprisingly the medium blue 2×4 brick. Again, shout out to Genevieve for … Continue
