Han Solo Minifigure Confirmed as LEGO “May the Fourth” Exclusive

March 30, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Han Solo May The Fourth Exclusive Minifigure

The above image comes from the May LEGO Store Calendar which confirms that the Han Solo minifigure (5001621) will be the “May the Fourth” exclusive for 2013. This Hoth variant of Han is FREE with any LEGO Star Wars purchase of $75 or more. Remember that the Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240) will also be released May 4th so that will easily satisfy the $75 purchase requirement. The “May the Fourth” deal will only be available May 4-5. As we reported yesterday, the Hoth Han Solo will be dressed in a brown coat and a removable hood.

LEGO Star Wars Han Solo May the 4th Exclusive Minifigure?

March 29, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The above image was posted on Eurobricks by Sleeper just a short while ago of a new polybag of Han Solo. Could this polybag be the exclusive minifigure that will be included with a certain purchase amount during “May the 4th” special at LEGO stores and Shop@Home? This version of Han Solo shows him in Hoth attire but looks more like a Boy Scout if you ask me. There’a already been a few variants of Han in Hoth attire but this one will be the first for him wearing the brown coat. What do you think of this polybag and will you be picking on up when it’s available?

Iron Man 3 Suits Revealed

March 28, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Technically, this isn’t LEGO related but there are Iron Man 3 sets so I guess it’s relevant. Over on the official Iron Man Facebook Page, they have revealed the new suits that will be in the Iron Man 3 movie. You might recognize the Heartbreaker suit from the Iron Man vs The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown (76008) set. The Sub Orbital Suit was also seen before in LEGO form last week in a custom creation by Tuminio. Which suit(s) would you like to see in an official LEGO minifigure?

Mark 33 – Enhanced Energy Suit – “Silver Centurion”

Mark 35 – Disaster Rescue Suit – “Red Snapper”

Mark 38 – Heavy Lifting Suit – “Igor”

Mark 39 – Sub Orbital Suit – “Gemini”

Mark 40 – Hyper Velocity Suit – “Shotgun”

BrickPicker Introduces Brick Classifieds

March 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Have you been trying to sell your LEGO sets online but feeling the pain of the high fees involved in selling them? These expensive fees from different online marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon take away from the profits that should really be in your pockets. BrickPicker might have the solution for you. Today, the guys over there introduced Brick Classifieds, a system that could help revolutionize how people buy and sell LEGO online.

First of all, you are able to advertise your listings for on the site itself. This allows other members to easily find what they are looking for without having to go to another website. The main reason and might be the biggest reason to use Brick Classifieds is that there are no expensive fees involved. This low cost fee (usually a dollar or less) allows you to sell your sets for a fraction of what the other marketplaces, such as eBay or Amazon, charge. But wait there’s more! With this system, there are no expensive commissions after you make the sale. In addition, there are also some other benefits with the system including shipping calculators and a feedback system to rate your transactions.

Although the Brick Classifieds system isn’t a direct competition to eBay or Amazon, it is another avenue that users can take to sell their LEGO products online. Check out the video below that Ed and Jeff have created to learn more about Brick Classifieds or read more about it on their forum.

LEGO The Lone Ranger Sets on Walmart’s Website

March 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Brickset is reporting that the LEGO The Lone Ranger sets are now listed at Walmart. All the sets are already on Walmart’s website and are available to order a little early. I’ve tested the shipping options to California and if you order today, you can expect the sets to arrive on April 4th with standard shipping, April 1st with expedited shipping, and March 28th with rush shipping. You can also have in store pickup as soon as April 2nd. Arrival dates may change depending on where your locations are.

**Update: Walmart has left the pages for the sets up but has taken off the purchase button. They’ve probably realized their mistake of selling the sets early to the public.**

Cavalry Builder Set (79106) – $12.97

Comanche Camp (79107) – $19.97

Stagecoach Escape (79108) – $29.97
