January 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today in Kensington, London, the 2013 London Toy Fair kicked off. LEGO has a big presence there showing off the upcoming sets from a wide variety of themes. Our friends at Brick Fanatics made the rounds today and has given a list of sets that were on display. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed but so we have to wait a little longer to see what the new sets look like. It’s also nice to see the pricing we we can gauge how big the sets are without actually seeing images at this time.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batman Visual Dictionary Review

January 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Back on Black Friday, I purchased a couple of LEGO books that were on sale and one of them included the DC Universe Super Heroes Batman Visual Dictionary by Dorling Kindersley Publishing. The book has 96 pages of almost everything you may want to know about the DC Universe LEGO sets. The book begins with a timeline of all the Batman sets starting in 2006 with the Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit until the most recent DC Universe themed sets in 2012. It also goes in-depth describing all the vehicles in every single set and giving facts that you may have never knew about. In the back of the book, it tells you about the design team and how they come up with ideas for the sets.

As a bonus with all LEGO dictionaries, you also get an exclusive minifigure with the book. In this book, you get the Electo Suit Batman. It is the same suit that you can find in the LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes video game.

Overall, it’s a nice small book to add to your collection. It makes a good coffee table book as well. The Electro Suit Batman minifigure right now is is worth more on BrickLink than the cost of the book itself.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase (76001) Review

December 25, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In our second review of the 2013 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes, we are doing The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase (76001). This larger set contains 368 pieces and retails for $39.99, a $0.11/piece. The box contains two instruction booklets, three numbered bags, one comic book, and a card with a code to download the LEGO Batman Video Game on Steam. The set is inspired by the scene in The Dark Knight Rises where the Bat chases down the Tumbler in the streets of Gotham, hence the name of the set.
