LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The Discworld project by GlenBricker becomes the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the fantasy book series by Terry Pratchett. The build itself features the disc on top of four elephants which are on the back of a giant turtle named Great A’Tuin.
The project becomes the first project to reach the First 2015 Review Stage. Shortly behind it is Alatariel’s follow-up project to the Research Institute (21110), Science Adventures.
With all the LEGO 2015 set rumors we had today, let’s take a step back and look at something else, more specifically, about The LEGO Batman spinoff movie. Back in October of last year, we reported that the movie will be coming in 2017. There have been small details coming from Phil Lord and Chris Miller saying that “every era of Batman filmmaking will be acknowledged.”
MTV recently caught up with the pair again at the National Board of Review Awards and Lord teased, “No spoilers. But I will say I think the movie is really exciting because it’s about ‘Can Batman be happy?'”
Lord also added while mimicking Batman, “Wah, I’m so rich and handsome, and women like me, and I’ve got a Maclaren. Something about my parents!”
Will Arnett, who will be returning to voice the Dark Knight, stated he has seen part of the film and said, “The first bit that I’ve seen was mind-boggling.”
Can Batman ever be happy especially since Wyldstyle broke up with him to be with Emmet in The LEGO Movie? What does he have now that will bring joy to his life again?
The year 2015 has just barely started but there’s already news for some 2016 stuff. Seriously?!? Anyways, Groove Bricks is reporting that the LEGO The Simpsons sets will be continuing next year with The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop, otherwise known as the Comic Book Shop.
GB’s anonymous “source” has stated that it’ll be available next year with a price tag of $200. I’m not sure how credible this information is since I haven’t heard or read anything from the usual sources so take this info with a grain of salt. This might be jumping the gun just a tiny bit since the set for this year hasn’t even come out yet.
We already know that the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) will be available in April early for LEGO VIP members and to the general public in May. If the above rumor is true, LEGO will be releasing a set every year for the foreseeable future until their license with 20th Century Fox runs out.
So there you have it. You guys think this could be happening or are you squinting your eye like me and being pretty skeptical about it (for now)?
**Note: The above image is not the rumored The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop. It is actually a MOC by Matt “Pepa Quin” De Lanoy for his version of Springfield that was displayed at BrickWorld Chicago 2014.**
There are more rumors of Summer 2015 sets coming out of both Eurobricks and Brickset this morning. First off, Eurobricks member Cyrtanthus has provided some information on a new LEGO City Train that will be added to the Summer lineup with the Heavy-Haul Train (60098). There’s no other details of what the Heavy-Haul Train is like or how much it costs but it’s another train that you can add to your City along with the current High-Speed Passenger Train (60051) and the Cargo Train (60052).
The other rumor/confirmed news is for the LEGO Mixels sets courtesy of Brickset. Their database has been updated and both Series 5 and 6 have been listed although there’s no names for Series 5 yet. Like the previous series, there will be nine Mixels from three different tribes in each wave.

The Series 13 LEGO Collectible Minifigures just came out a week ago and we already know that the LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 will be the next to come out but it’s not too late to talk about the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures. Right? Of course not!
As we’ve seen with all the previous LEGO Collectible Minifigures, minus the Team GB Minifigures (8909) and the themed ones (The LEGO Movie, The Simpsons), each series consisted of an unique minifigure that is unrelated to any other in that particular series.
From what I’ve heard, Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010) will be released in October 2015 and there’s something new that hasn’t been done before. This Halloween season, Series 14 with be a themed one with the theme being “Monsters.” What kind of Monsters are included? My guess is the traditional one like the ones we see during that time of year. You may say “But we’ve already seen minifigures based on those characters already.” That is true with the Monster Fighters lines as well as various Monsters thoughout the Collectible Minifigures line so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of Monsters we’ll be getting in Series 14.
What are your thoughts on this Monsters themed LEGO Collectible Minifigures series and who would you like to see be included? Let us know in the comments below or over on our Facebook Page.
LEGO has released some more action shot images featuring the new LEGO Speed Champions theme. The sets will be available in March 2015 and will included officially licensed cars from Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren Mercedes. Although the images do reiterate that the vehicles are chock full of stickers, I feel that the are needed to bring out the full details of the Speed Champions sets. Some may elect to not apply the stickers but I think they look great with them. If you haven’t seen the official images of the sets yet, you can check them out here and the box art here.
Remember last year when we reported on a rumor that there will be some LEGO Scooby-Doo sets coming sometime this year? Well I received a tip from a very reliable source that the rumor is true and has provided a list of the set names and numbers. However, there’s no mentioning of whether the sets will be based on the old school Scooby-Doo show or from the upcoming Cartoon Network series Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!. From the info that was reported last year, the sets below will be released around May/June 2015.
Mummy Museum Mystery (75900)
Mystery Plane Adventures (75901)
The Mystery Machine (75902)
Haunted Lighthouse (75903)
