LEGO Harry Potter Magical Treasury: A Visual Guide to the Wizarding World Tom Riddle Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

March 6, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon has updated their product listing for the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Magical Treasury: A Visual Guide to the Wizarding World to include more images and it reveals the exclusive minifigure that will be coming with the book. The additional pages show that the minifigure will be Tom Riddle from The Chamber of Secrets in which he will be wearing his Hogwarts uniform. I think this is a good minifigure considering that this is only the second Tom Riddle minifigure for the LEGO Harry Potter line and an updated version of him. The book itself will be available in July but you can pre-order it now for $21.99 with the pre-order price guarantee.

One of the hottest sets at the beginning of the year was the LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267) and now Amazon currently has it on sale. So far, it’s only a dollar off or a 7% discount but at this time, any deal is a deal. I don’t expect to see a huge sale on this set until the holiday shopping season.

The Batman Batmobile Revealed by Matt Reeves – How Will it Look in LEGO Form?

March 5, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday The Batman director Matt Reeves gave us a first look at the Batmobile from the movie. I’m not sure if LEGO will be doing any sets for this movie but more than likely they will since they’re pretty big on Batman. The Batmobile doesn’t have the classic feel to it and it has a suped up engine on the back. If LEGO does decide to release a set for The Batman, I wonder how they would do it, especially with the engine. The film releases on June 25, 2021 so they still have time to plan out the design.
