LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 13 (71008) Box Distribution

November 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

WhiteFang over on Eurobricks has done his review of the Series 13 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71008) and has given a distribution of each minifigure in a full box. Again, LEGO has gone back to having three complete sets per box.

Looking at the distribution, it looks like some of the more populars ones so far will be fairly hard to find including the Unicorn Girl and the Hot Dog Man. For the army builders, it’ll be fairly easy to find the Goblins, Galaxy Troopers, and Alien Troopers.

5 Goblins
5 Galaxy Troopers
5 Carpenters
4 Classic Kings
4 Sheriffs
4 Snake Charmers
4 Alien Troopers
4 Egyptian Warriors
4 Evil Wizards
3 Unicorn Girls
3 Hot Dog Men
3 Paleontologists
3 Fencers
3 Samurai
3 Disco Divas
3 Lady Cyclops

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 13 (71008) will be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home on January 1st and I assume the price will be same at $3.99/pack. You can probably start seeing them at larger retailers like Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, and Walgreens in mid to late December.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Recreated in LEGO

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

The official trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out yesterday and it didn’t take long for people to make stop-motion videos out of LEGO for it. There is actually two videos that have been made so far. The first one is from FinalFeature who took them 22 hours of work to create their stop-motion. It took them 3 hours to build the landscapes and vehicles, 4 hours to shoot 1500 frames at 30fps, and 15 hours of post production. The final product is pretty awesome and smooth at the same time. Check it out below.

The other LEGO stop-motion for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is from Snooperking. Although it isn’t as flashy as the previous video, it’s still good consider all you have to do to do a stop-motion video.

Update: ZachFB Studios has also a video.

If you’ve been living under a rock and didn’t know that the trailer for Episode VII of in the Star Wars saga, has been released or you want to see the trailer again, check it out below.

More Characters Revealed for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham DLC Packs

November 29, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been revealing more future playable characters that will be coming in future DLC packs including the Arrow Pack, the Bizarro World Pack, and the Heroines & Villainesses Pack. For the Arrow Pack, Slade Wilson will be one of these new characters. He is based on the Arrow TV show version.

Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, will also be in the same DLC pack. He is also known by as Red Arrow.

For the Bizarro World Pack, Darkseid will be making an appearance. He will be one of the small number of BigFig characters that is in the game.

Guy Gardner version of the Green Lantern is another character that is in the Bizarro World Pack. I assume he will have the same abilities as Hal Jordan.

The final character revealed for the Bizarro World Pack so far is Greenzarro. He is the alien perversion of Guy Gardner.

It seems that the characters in the Bizarro World DLC Pack comes from the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs Bizarro League original movie. If that is the case, the alter version of Cyborg, Cyzarro, should also be included in the DLC Pack.

For the Heroines & Villainesses DLC Pack, Plastique will be included. At Brick 2014 over in the UK, they have also revealed Terra and Vixen for this pack. This DLC will be a free one that anyone can download sometime in the future. There is still no word at this time when all the DLCs noted in this … Continue

Build Your Own LEGO Santa - Brick Friday/Cyber Monday

Today was Black/”Brick” Friday at the LEGO Stores and there’s a neat little doorbuster item available when you make a purchase there. According to a reader who sent this in, you can get the Build Your Own LEGO Santa set for free with any purchase today. It is pretty much a small Pick-A-Brick cup filled with the appropriate pieces to build Santa. There were about only about 100-200 of them available depending on your store. Thanks to John for the info.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has announced two new DLC packs that will be available in early 2015. The first one is called the Bizarro World Pack which will be part of the Season Pass. Some of the characters in this DLC will include Bizarro as well as Bizarra. This will be the fourth DLC for the game with the Arrow still up in the air. The characters included in this pack are Bizarro and Bizarra. Hopefully, there are more Bizarro World characters like in the upcoming original movie LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs Bizarro League.

The other DLC pack for LEGO Batman 3 is called the Heroines & Villainesses Pack and you can actually download this one for FREE next year. Some of the characters included will be the Starfire and the highly requested Teen Titan Raven.
