LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain (79018) at SDCC 2014

July 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

With all the news coming out of San Diego Comic Con 2014, I forgot to post the pictures I took of the new LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain (79018). The 866 piece set will retail for $129.99 and will be released in October. In the pictures, I tried to focus on the Smaug figure as many people were waiting patiently to see it. You can check out Smaug in action in a video created by The Brotherhood Workshop here.

LEGO DC Comics UCS Tumbler (76023) Unveiled at SDCC 2014

July 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes UCS Tumbler (76023)

For today’s reveal at San Diego Comic Con, LEGO unveiled the actual model of the DC Comics Super Heroes UCS Tumbler (76023) for attendees to feast their eyes on. The set was inside of a clouded window case and the pictures don’t do it justice. After seeing it with my own eyes, it’s definitely a must purchase for any Batman fan out there. The UCS Tumbler is already listed on Shop@Home in preparation on it being sold to VIP members on August 18th and to the general public on September 1st. Check out more details of the set here.

LEGO Marvel GotG The Collector SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

July 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy The Collector SDCC 2014 Exclusive

For today at San Diego Comic Con 2014, LEGO was giving out the Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy The Collector as the exclusive minifigure. First seen at the end of Thor: The Dark World played by Benicio del Toro, he receives the Aether from Sif and Volstagg to keep in his collection.

As you can see, the minifigure does have a somewhat similar look to Benicio del Toro with a stern look on one side and an angry look on the other. He has a maroon leaf-patterned with a chain in the front torso. The back also has some of the leaf patterns as well. He wears a white cape to represent his fur cape from the movie. The legs has some of the patterns with some maroon details on the lower leg areas. Finally, he also has some black and trans-red studs to maybe show the Aether.

Like with the Bard the Bowman minifigure from yesterday, the insert inside the clamshell packaging opens up to show a mini portrait of The Collector.

Tomorrow’s minifigure giveaway will be the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh so hopefully I’ll be able to win one too and keep the winning streak going.

LEGO The Hobbit Bard the Bowman SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

July 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here are some clearer images of the LEGO The Hobbit Bard the Bowman San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive minifigure. Earlier this morning I posted a picture from my potato phone but I’m home now so you can get a clearer look at him. As you can see from the packaging, it also says The Battle of Five Armies.

I was also told today that this minifigure will be available in a set in the future just like Azog from last year. Ace over at FBTB also has confirmed this piece of news as well. For fans who really wanted Bard but couldn’t go to SDCC, you can rest assured that he will be available at some point in the future.

Batman and Super Angry Kitty Attack (70817) Revealed at SDCC 2014

July 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week, we reported there will be a new The LEGO Movie set coming out in January 2015. Today at San Diego Comic Con 2014, LEGO officially announced the Batman and Super Angry Kitty Attack (70817). By releasing this set next year, it makes me think there will be more sets in the wave and not just having a fairly small set by itself.

Unfortunately, the box does have the LEGO watermark on it so I can’t post pictures of it. It will consist of 115 pieces and retail for $9.99. The set is pretty much what you see above on the right. You get Batman with a new clenched teeth expression and a grappling gun, a very Angry Kitty, a Skeletron, and a Micro Manager.

Take a Break from SDCC and Check Out the LEGO Store

LEGO Store February 2014 Mini Monthly Build Event

If you’re from out of town attending San Diego Comic Con 2014 and want to take a little break from all the hustle and bustle of everything that is going on there, remember that San Diego does have a LEGO Store conveniently located at the Fashion Valley Mall. The MTS Trolley is right there at the mall and the Green Line runs every 10 minutes all the way down to the convention center. If you’re driving there, the address is 7007 Friars Rd, Space 965A, San Diego CA 92108.

The LEGO Store is located right next to the food court on the second level and you can’t miss it. Although, the LEGO booth at SDCC doesn’t have a Pick-A-Brick wall, the physical store does and it has a nice variety of elements that is stocked by my very good friend Genevieve. Also remember that the LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) is now available for VIPs there and the LEGO Star Wars summer wave sets are also now in stock at the store. So check it out if you have some time. Tell them I sent you 😉
