LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes/Star Wars 2014 Minifigures

Solid Brix Studios has posted an image of a couple of the new LEGO minifigures from DC Universe Super Heroes as well as Star Wars. As you can see, he has acquired a new variant of the Joker most likely from The Joker Steam Roller (76013) set. He also has a V-Wing Starfighter Pilot from the V-Wing Starfighter (75039) set. We’re not sure how he has gotten a hold of them but you can be sure that more LEGO minifigures and set images will be popping up very soon.

Update: Doing some research, I’ve found that it was the same user on BrickLink who “leaked” the Batgirl minifigure.

Update: Looks like the “original” imaged posted by Solid Brix Studios has been taken down.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Vehicles

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes - X-Jet

During TT Game’s Director Arthur Parson’s interview with IGN, he has given some details of the vehicles from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game.

X-Jet

The X-Men’s primary source of conventional travel, obtained by Professor X from S.H.I.E.L.D. the X-Jet is unrivalled, being able to cloak at the switch of a button, enabling it to sneak up on anyone. Definitely the vehicle to use when traversing distance and wanting to arrive unannounced!

Deadpool Scooter

The Merc with a mouth has a slick new motor-bike to get around town. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, this deceptive machine has more power than Luke Cage. Plus it makes an awesome ‘weeeeeeeee’ noise when it moves too!

Spider Copter

S.H.I.E.L.D. are not the only people with gadgets and gizmos. The Spider Copter was designed for Spider-Man by Nick Fury to enable the webbed wonder to get from A to B swiftly, and should he encounter problems en route, the agile copter has quick-fire flick rockets.

Pumpkin Chopper

Usually Green Goblin is seen blasting around New York on his glider, however for longer journeys he chooses the comfort and luxury afforded him by the Pumpkin Chopper. While comfortable though, the Pumpkin Chopper is extremely nimble and has powerful rapid fire missiles.

Magneto Mobile

When driving the Magneto Mobile, nobody will tell you what to do. A car well ahead of its time, inspired by the 1978 Menace of Magneto, this car needs no gas so it is environmentally friendly. The car can cruise the streets of New York without even

Official LEGO DC Universe Batgirl Minifigure Leaked?

Official Batgirl Minifigure?

A user by the name of votvik on BrickLink has posted an image of what appears to be The New 52 Batgirl from DC Comics and is asking what price to sell it for. Comparing it to the #1 issue of The New 52 Batgirl comic, the minifigure in question sure looks like her from the torso to her red hair.

Also note that the user is from the Czech Republic where LEGO has one of their largest factories. Could this mean that the minifigure is a leak from one of the 2014 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes sets? Looking back at our set list for the 2014 DC releases, it could be in the The Joker Steam Roller (76013) set since there was an unidentified minifigure. What do you guys think?

Official LEGO Marvel Variant Comic Book Covers

With only a few weeks left until the release of the highly anticipated LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game, Marvel has released images of the majority of the LEGO Marvel variant comic book covers that have already been released as well as for ones that will coming out in the near future. Marvel artist Leonel Castellani illustrated the covers which pay homage to classic Marvel covers and are used to promote the upcoming LEGO Marvel game. The regular LEGO variant covers will have a 1:25 distribution while the sketch variants will have a 1:100 distribution ratio and thus carry a higher premium. Check around your local comic book stores to see if they carry any of these variations. If your stores don’t carry them, many online comic book stores such as Midtown Comics should have them in stock as they hit store shelves. Note that the official covers for Hawkeye #15 and Indestructible Hulk #14 are still not available at this time. We’ll update this post when we get those images.
