New LEGO Minifigure Box Set (5004077) Found

December 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Over on TaoBao, where many new 2015 minifigures have shown up recently, is a new LEGO Minifigure Set (5004077) which is similar to the one that was available at Target a few weeks ago. The second box again includes different minifigures from four different themes including LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes, LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Legends of Chima, and LEGO City.

From the images provided, we get a new character in the DC Comics line with Lightning Lad. He is the founding member of the Legion of Super-Heroes which was inspired by Superboy who was in the last box.

For the Ninjago minifigure, we get Kai in a new outfit. This version of him is different from the ones that we will be getting in the 2015 sets.

On the Legends of Chima side, we get another version of Sir Fangar from the Sabre-Tooth Tiger Tribe.

Finally for the City minifigure, we get someone in a scuba outfit which looks like it’s someone from the Exploration subtheme that will be coming out next summer.

Overall, there’s no details yet on how to obtain this second LEGO Minifigure Set (5004077) but my guess is that it’ll probably show up at Target like last time. Although Lightning Lad isn’t a pretty major character in the DC Universe, he is someone new in the LEGO Universe which collectors will covet. We’ll let you know if/when the set becomes available.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Trickster Minifigure Found

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Trickser Minifigure

NuffSaid1996 over on Eurobricks has found a new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Trickster minifigure that isn’t featured in a set or in a 2015 promotion. From the way that it’s packaged, it seems that the minifigure will be included in an upcoming LEGO book or movie.

The Trickster is one of the members of the Rogues and is the enemy of the Flash using dangerous gadgets themed after practical joke items. From the looks of it, the Trickster minifigure is based on the Axel Walker version and he also appeared in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham as a playable character. He isn’t a major villain but is a good addition to the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes line.

Thanks to Luke for the heads up.

Piano Achieves 10,000 Supporters on LEGO Ideas

December 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Piano project by Hidaka is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The Piano is one of the many Musical Instruments projects that he hopes to add to LEGO’s themes to teach children more about music. Hidaka wants to include a minifigure with the project as well to represent the composer. What’s neat about the project is that it is able to be rebuilt into a mini version using the same pieces.

Although the build is fairly small, it does represent the subject type very well. If it passes the LEGO Review Stage, the Piano will probably be one of the smallest official CUUSOO/Ideas sets that LEGO has produced.

The Piano now joins a jam-packed lineup in the Third 2014 Review Stage which also includes the Avengers Helicarrier, the Labyrinth Marble Maze, the F7A, The Goonies 30th Anniversary Inferno, The Natural History Museum, Lord of the Rings Set: Minas Tirith, and Jurassic Park.

LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag December 2014 Review

December 29, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I recently received the December 2014 Brick Builders Club but didn’t have time to review it due to my abnormal work schedule but it’s still December so let’s see what we got this month.

The first thing you see when you open up the box is the guaranteed exclusive t-shirt that you get every month. This month’s shirt is a winter based shirt with some minifigures in an ice cube tray with the caption “Chill Out.”

The next items are the Funky Fig cards designed by The Mad Stacker. Again, there are five collectible cards that feature various minifigure characters in Garbage Pail Kids style. The groups that these cards belong to are the Champion Chumps and the City Slickers.

Next are some stickers which again are winter-based and shows some different designed brick-built snowflakes.

The next item in the box is courtesy of The Brick Show with their battery-powereed Black Street Lamp with Yellow Light. This allows you to creates scenes that give a warmer light. Although it is not an official LEGO product, it is compatible with LEGO bricks. You can also order this item at The Brick Show Shop for $6.99.

As usual, we also get a Brick Builders Club Parts Pack with items from Brick Warriors. The items included in the pack are a pair of crutches which are still attached to the plastic that you break off, an English Longbow, a Quiver, a Plague Doctor Hat, a Lizardman Shield, and a Magic Wand. The total cost of the Parts Pack … Continue

LEGO Year of the Sheep (40148)

December 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

According to the Lunar Calendar, February 19, 2015 will begin the Year of the Sheep on the Chinese zodiac and to commemorate this event, LEGO will again be releasing a set based on the holiday. The 2015 Year of the Sheep (40148) will include the pieces to create a sheep and is also packaged inside a small red envelope which you can use to give money to others as part of the Chinese tradition.

LEGO did something similiar back in 2013 with the Year of the Snake (10250) but it wasn’t available outside of Asia. It may seem that next year’s set will follow the same pattern.

December 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Valentine's Day 2015 (40120)

Christmas is over and it’s time to talk about the next major holiday that drives sales here in the US and that is Valentine’s Day. Like this year, it looks like LEGO will be releasing sets based on certain holidays throughout 2015.

For Valentine’s Day, there will be a small vignette set (40120) showing what appears to be a marriage proposal. The set will have 114 pieces and probably retail for $9.99 and it shows a couple at a restaurant with a engagement ring for the female. There is also a small gift box to hold the ring. The set will most likely be available sometime in January at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

Update: If you’re near LEGOLAND California in San Diego (Carlsbad), I’ve been told that the set is available at the shop. Thanks Charlie for the heads up.
