LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Homecoming Rumored Set Details

November 25, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Delta Customs over on Instagram has provided some new rumored details of the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Homecoming sets. There are two sets mentioned in the post with the first being some sort of bank robbery set. It contains Spider-Man and two robbers who have the words Avengers in their names. The other set mentioned is a car-type set. The minifigures that are said to be in that set include Spider-Man, Vulture with brick-built wings, Shocker, and Iron Man. There aren’t much details to go by but it’s interesting to see what we could be expecting to see next summer. Again, these are purely rumors until something official is released but Delta has been correct in these sort or things so it’s hard to go against.

LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285) Widespread Issues

November 25, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

If you purchased the LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Marceline Fun Pack (71285) from Toys R Us and intend to use her in the game, you may want to return it or contact LEGO Dimensions Support as there has been reports of widespread issues with the NFC chip. Basically, the tags for Marceline herself are coming up empty and it contains no data for the system to detect. I’m hearing that this issue is only affecting North America and the ones in the UK seem to be fine.

As far as I know, TT Games has not acknowledged the issue publicly but Toys R Us has issued a stop sale on the Fun Packs and has started pulling them from the floor. The link for the TRU product page has also been taken down. If you see them available for purchase, I suggest don’t buy it until the issue is fixed. For those who just collect the minifigures and have no interest in playing the LEGO Dimensions itself, that doesn’t really matter but for those who do, I suggest contacting support in the link above to see about getting a replacement tag.

The LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City Activity Book

Amazon has finally started to release the final book covers for The LEGO Batman Movie and one of the books may be more interesting out of the list. What makes it interesting is that The LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City Activity Book will include a new exclusive Tartan Batman minifigure variant. As you can see from the image above, the Tartan Batman minifigure is sort of in a barbaric style with his torso while wielding a sword. You can pre-order the Activity Book now on Amazon and it will be available on January 31, 2017.

Thanks to JoshuaA for the email.
