Today at Brickfete in Toronto, The LEGO Group revealed the newest addition to the Winter holiday theme, the Creator Expert Winter Village Market (10235). This set has a lot of small scenes to add to your Winter collection. What you see in the Winter Village Market is kind of what you would find at your local market with different food stands. The centerpiece of the market is the spinning carousel and a carnival game. The set contains 1261 pieces and will retail for $99.99. It will be available at LEGO brick and mortar stores as well as on Shop@Home this October. Below is the designer video and the official press release.

More Marvel Comic LEGO Variant Covers

July 13, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

As the 2013 San Diego Comic Con rolls closer, Marvel is slowly releasing more LEGO variant covers for their upcoming comics. The reason for the variant covers is to promote the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game that will be released in October. Here you can see the covers for Wolverine & the X-Men #26, Daredevil #31, and Nova #8. Back in June, we got our first look at the variant covers for X-Men #5, Indestructible Hulk #14, and Hawkeye #15. All the covers will be illustrated by Leo Castellani, Christopher Jones, and Adam DeKracker and expect the comics to be released in September.

Update: Comics Alliance has revealed the cover for the Marvel Universe Avengers Assemble #1 issue. The image gives us a first look of a character that does not have a real life counterpart yet, the Falcon.

iFanBoy has revealed the cover for All-New X-Men #17 which features Magneto and is a homage to Jim Lee’s X-Men #1 issue.

July 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday, Marvel revealed the box art for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game and they have said they will be slowly revealing more characters in the game as we get closer to the release date. This went unnoticed but a couple of days ago, Game Director at TT Games Arthur Parsons has let loose another character for all to see. It is none other than Victor Creed also known as Sabretooth. He also confirmed that the game will be available on the next generation consoles including the Xbox One and the Playstation 4.

If you’re going to San Diego Comic Con 2013, you will be able to have a hands-on experience of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes at the Marvel booth (#2329), the LEGO booth (#2829), and at the Xbox Gaming Lounge at the Hyatt all four days of the Con. At the Marvel video games panel on Saturday, there will most likely be more new characters being shown off.
