Upcoming Toys R Us LEGO Polybag Promotions

May 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275)

We’ve reported on many LEGO polybags that have shown up on the Toys R Us website but haven’t seen it actually in stores but FBTB seems to have the inside scoop on a couple of them for some upcoming promotions. First up is the LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275) which will be part of a promo starting on May 24.

The other polybag that’s been very sought for is the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303). That one won’t be “available” until the week of August 9. What’s interesting about this one is that I’ve already seen a couple of people in the US who have been able to purchase this polybag from their local store as early as last week and I’m not sure why the promo listed is so far out. I’ve also reported that the Joker Bumper car could be available at Target as well but there hasn’t been any sightings of it over there yet. Of course for people in the UK, it will be be available this Sunday as part of their Daily Mail promo.

As soon as the promotions are over, TRU will most likely sell them for $3.99 each or if you’re lucky with the cashiers, they’ll probably just sell you one individually.

There are actually two contests that will run concurrently during the month of June, one for North America and the other one for the rest of countries with Shop@Home excluding South Korea. For this contest, all you have to do is make a LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes purchase any time from June 1-30 at the LEGO Store or on Shop@Home and you’re entered. The other contest that will be running at the same time is only for North America which is the free daily email entry. The instructions for that are in the image above.

LEGO DC & Marvel Super Heroes Summer 2015 Official Box Art Images

April 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

This post is probably what a lot of readers have been waiting patiently for. Portuguese online retailer BrincaLandia has posted official box art images for the summer 2015 wave of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets, as well as the LEGO Juniors Marvel set which are scheduled to come out between June and August. Many of these sets will be introducing new characters from their respective brands as minifigures. The above image is of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batboat Harbour Pursuit (76034).

The Batboat Harbour Pursuit (76034)

Deathstroke is escaping with the loot on his heavily-armored jetboat in the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Batboat Harbour Pursuit set. Place Batman and Robin in the cockpits of the Batboat at Gotham City harbor and set off in high-speed pursuit. This set includes 3 minifigures with accessories: Batman, Deathstroke, and Robin.

Jokerland (76035)

The Joker and his team of villains have transformed Gotham’s amusement park into a nightmare in the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Jokerland set.

More Details on LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) Polybag

February 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Last year, we reported that the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) polybag was listed on Toys R Us’ website. Ever since we reported on the polybag, it has subsequently been taken off the website and there has been absolutely no word on it, until now. It was actually earlier this month on the Brickset Forums that a user by the name of Waynegg found out that the polybag was listed in Target’s inventory system. So somewhere between the end of last year and beginning of February, something must have happened with LEGO and Toys R Us with the polybag being pulled from their system and ended up in Target’s system. Waynegg did mention that “TRU and LEGO were at odds over the Bricktober sets when they started selling them as they were intended for giveaways” which was the case because they were being sold for $20 each so I guess future “exclusives” will be going to other retailers now.

The OP also has provided the UPC code for it (673419233743) as well as the DPCI (204-00-0479) and sure enough, the DPCI number does show up in the Target’s system. Another member of the forum also chimed in saying it’ll be showing up in March or April but it’s purely speculation. My suggestion is to keep checking up on the DPCI number and see when it actually shows up as available in the system. It’s not much more information than what we had before but it’s at least we now know that … Continue

LEGO Super Heroes Super Jumpers – To Use or Not To Use?

February 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

In the new DC Comics Super Heroes and upcoming Marvel Super Heroes sets, LEGO has included a new gimmick called the Super Jumpers to encourage more play but there are some problems with it. I’ve gotten a few comments and emails from readers who want to get the word out on it since they’ve also run into this issue.

If you’re not familiar with the Super Jumpers, it’s a clear piece that you can attach your minifigures to and you push down to launch them in the air. If you covet your LEGO minifigures, I would suggest not using them. The reason is that they could potentially damage the back of the minifigures’ legs. There have been various reports on Eurobricks and Reddit, just to name a few, that this play feature has given people this problems.

The minifigures are hard to get on the jumpers and once you have them on, they have a lot of clutch power where they attach to the minifigures pretty tightly which makes it a little harder to pull off. If I was a child playing with it, I would just push the minifigure all the way down but this is what causes the damage especially with that unnecessary little ridge piece where the back of the legs meet the jumper. The plastic causes more stress than usual to the legs and it actually warps them and creates small dents on the leg holes (see below).

For the casual person who just plays with the set, it may or … Continue

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batzarro Minifigure Review

February 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today I received my pre-order copy of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League and as reported many times before, the Blu-Ray/DVD also includes an exclusive Batzarro minifigure. To give a little backstory on this little known character, Batzarro first appeared in June 2005 in Superman/Batman #20. He first met up with Bizarro and introduced himself as “the world’s worst detective.” However in the new animated movie, he was created by Batman being shot by the LexCorp duplicator ray gun.

On to the LEGO Batzarro minifigure review, he has a similar look as Batman but with some slight differences. The most notable difference is that the outfit is mostly a lavender/sand purple color. Everything on the outfit is upside-down including the Batman symbol and the utility belt. The back of the torso also has some printing with the upside-down belt. The head is double-sided and is pale white in color. There are dark circles around the eyes and he has a snarl on one side and an angry growl on the other. The final detail is the tattered cape that he has on. Unfortunately, Batzarro does not include any accessories.

Overall, Batzarro is a great minifigure if you’re a Batman collector as it’s another variant that you can add to your collection. It most likely will not be appearing in any forseeable DC Comics Super Heroes sets as he is a pretty obscure character. This goes along with the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh minifigure from SDCC last year however this one is way … Continue
