Just in time before February ends, I’ve received my monthly subscription Brick Builders Club box. If you’re new to the site, the Brick Builders Club is sort of a Lootcrate but with LEGO stuff inside. The theme of February’s box is Games so let’s check out what we get.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Decomissioned Today

February 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Just a reminder, today is the last day to order the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) from Shop@Home as it will be decomissioned, aka retired. You can also pick up the set on Amazon if you want to go that route. The Exo Suit was one of the top sets in 2014 and even became sold out for a short time when it was first released. I’m not sure what will happen once March rolls around but I wouldn’t wait if you still don’t have a set yet. There might be some sets still lingering in stores after today but I believe this is it for the Exo Suit.

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

February 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon now has the last LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron set available for purchase, The Avengers Quinjet City Chase (76032). All of the other sets in the wave have been released early but have subsequently been taken down or sold out. This set contains 772 pieces and is sold for $79.99 which is retail price. The official release date will be on March 1st so even if you order it now, you’ll still get it on Sunday anyways so it’s up to you whether you want to just order it online or not.

Launch a high-speed pursuit of Ultimate Ultron with the Avengers in the iconic Quinjet. Place Black Widow at the controls in the cockpit and soar into the sky. Fire the stud shooters and release Captain America on his super-cool bike to take the pursuit to the streets. Iron Man MK43 is flying alongside the Quinjet using his thrusters, ready to take on Ultimate Ultron. When the time is right, make the perfect jump onto the truck to explode the sides and reveal the precious cargo. Includes 5 minifigures with assorted accessories: Vision, Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man and Ultimate Ultron.

If you missed out on the above LEGO themed t-shirt last year, Unamee has given you a second chance to pick it up. The design of the 1980-Something Falcon by Samuri Ferret has the LEGO Classic Space style but with the Millennium Falcon flying around the second Death Star.

The shirt goes for $11 and comes in black, navy, or chestnut. Unlike many other shirt sites that only last for a day, Unamee’s shirts last for a whole week.

Disney XD Acquires LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales

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

Disney has announced that they have acquired LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales from The LEGO Group. As a result of this acquisition, they will be airing the show on Disney XD later this year. LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales is an animated series that consists of five 22-minute episodes telling the story of Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace up to Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi from C-3PO and R2-D2’s perspectives.

What’s interesting about this something that was written in the press release. “C-3PO and R2-D2 have gathered to regale Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca and the other Rebels with the tales of their adventures that led to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.” C-3PO wasn’t fully functional until Anakin activated him when he first met Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan on Tatooine. C-3PO was also first introduced to R2-D2 so there wasn’t really any adventures to speak of before that unless the whole story is retconned. We’ll see what happens when the show airs on Disney XD later this year.

ENFIELD, Conn., Feb. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The LEGO Group, world renowned manufacturer of construction toys, today announced that Disney XD has acquired LEGO® Star Wars™: Droid Tales for airing later this year. The animated content series consists of five 22-minute episodes that re-tell the Star Wars saga in chronological order from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace up through Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Disney XD is also currently home to the animated hit series Star Wars Rebels.
