LEGO BrickHeadz Ghostbusters Peter Venkman & Slimer Revealed

LEGO BrickHeadz Ghostbusters Peter Venkman & Slimer

Today must be a LEGO BrickHeadz day because LEGO has revealed another set with the Ghostbusters Peter Venkman & Slimer two-pack. This set recreates the scene from the hotel where Venkman gets slimed. This set reveal is on the heels of the three Harry Potter BrickHeadz set reveals from earlier today. I wonder what other BrickHeadz reveals could we have in the next few days.

First Look at Updated LEGO Wizarding World Flying Ford Anglia

LEGO Wizarding World Flying Ford Anglia

It looks like we’ve gotten an accidental sneak peek at the new Flying Ford Anglia from one of the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets. As you can see from the image above, the car is somehow put on the banner for the LEGO Elves theme on Shop@Home. The Ford Anglia shown is an updated version of the car which has also previously appeared in two other sets, Escape from Privet Drive (4728) and Hogwarts Express (4841).

This new one could be in one of the two rumored sets that it has a scene in, Aragog in the Forbidden Forest (75950) and Whomping Willow (75953). Either way, it most likely means the set will also include minifigures of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

Thanks to Anonymous for the heads up.

LEGO Elves Summer 2018 Product Images

LEGO Elves Emily & Noctura's Showdown (41195)

Last month, we got a first look at the box art for the summer 2018 LEGO Elves sets. There are only two sets coming out which could suggest that the theme is coming to an end. We now have some of the product images of the two sets and even the set name for one of the sets could mean that the LEGO Elves theme is winding down.

LEGO City Hospital (60204) More Details and Images

LEGO City Hospital (60204)

A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the new LEGO City Hospital (60204) which have been long-awaited for the theme. It has actually been about six years since we’ve gotten a set with a hospital with the Helicopter Rescue (4429). European online retailers have started to add more details and images of the summer 2018 Hospital (60204). We now know it will have 861 pieces and has a suggested retail price of €89.99. There are also some new blueprint images of the contents which is something new that LEGO is doing.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657)

Ever since we gotten a first look at the upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657), fans have been asking for more images of the set to see more details. Online retailers have been slowly uploading more images of the set for their product shots and there are some more angles as well as a piece count of 3,553. The rumored pricing is still around $300 which is a bit high and may turn fans away.

LEGO Creator Christmas Train (30543) Polybag Official Images

LEGO Creator Christmas Train (30543)

It’s not even summer yet but we have a first look at the upcoming LEGO Creator Christmas Train (30543) polybag. It has 66 pieces and it’s actually a decent looking train for a being a polybag. The build contains the locomotive, a cargo cart, and a passenger cart. There’s no word on availability of it at this time but I have a feeling it might come to Walmart or Target.

A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the highly anticipated The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657). We now have a clearer look at the set at a slightly different angle than shown on the box art. There’s still no word on the piece count but there is now a suggested retail price of € 249,99. If this is correct, then it’ll be around $290 give or take a few dollars. Nevertheless, it’s still a pretty impressive set that fans would probably want to add to the current Ninjago City (70620).

New LEGO Harry Potter & The LEGO Movie 2 Activity Books Coming

The LEGO Movie 2/Harry Potter

There will be some new LEGO books coming out in the future for The LEGO Movie 2 and Harry Potter which will include possible exclusive minifigures. The book for TLM2 is called Emmet’s Guide to Being More Awesome and it will be similar to the first one.

Emmet is BACK and ready to show us all how to be even MORE awesome! The LEGO(R) Movie 2 hits theaters February 9, with an all-star cast, including Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Alison Brie, and more! The sequel is sure to delight fans of all ages with its special brand of LEGO humor. This one-of-a-kind guidebook is narrated by Emmet himself(!) and comes with a buildable Emmet minifigure. It’s a must-have offering for fans of the film.

The Harry Potter one is an activity book filled with puzzles and games and it also has an unannounced minifigure.

This LEGO(R) Harry Potter(TM) activity book is packed with comics, puzzles, mazes, games, and more! Featuring all your favorite characters from the Harry Potter films, these pages are full of endless fun — plus, a buildable minifigure!

Both books have a listed release date of December 26 which is just a placeholder so that date will change. I’ll update when the book covers are revealed along with the minifigures.

The 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz theme seems to be blowing up this year with a ton of rumored sets and it looks like we can add another one to the list courtesy of Walmart. According to the listing, it looks like we’ll be getting a Jack Skellington & Sally (41630) two pack based on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

There’s a European trade show going on and there are some new images of a new summer 2018 LEGO Technic set that is displayed there. Shown on the trade floor is the Rough Terrain Crane (42082) which will become the largest LEGO Technic set coming in at 4,057 pieces which will surpass the current Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) which comes in at 3,929 pieces. The pricing of the Rough Terrain Crane will be €229.99. This set was first displayed at the Nuremberg Toy Fair at the beginning of the year but photography wasn’t allowed. Although I don’t dabble in LEGO Technic that much, fans of the theme will appreciate the functions and scale of it.

It’s actually been pretty busy for me the past few weeks and I actually forgot to do my monthly recap for April so here it is.

Since it was a busy month, this recap will be a bit longer than the usual ones.

LEGO DC Villains “Confirmed” by Walmart Canada

At the beginning of the year, I reported on some upcoming rumored video games which included LEGO The Incredibles and something called LEGO DC Villains. As we know by know, the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game was officially announced back in March. It looks like now we can potentially the LEGO DC Villains video game as well. According to Variety, Walmart Canada earlier today accidentally leaked a bunch of upcoming games including the aforementioned LEGO DC Villains game. The listing has since been removed but it looks like the cat is out of the bag. Of course Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment nor TT Games will confirm it at this time but hopefully they’ll tease something now that the information is out in the wild. Perhaps they’ll announce something at E3 2018 or at San Diego Comic Con.

It has been reported that the main focus of the game will be centered around the DC villains instead of the super heroes as with previous LEGO games. Now that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is starting to wrap up their DLCs, we’ll turn our attention to the next two games in the pipeline.

This keychain is the same one that Target sold for $5.99 each which you can probably find at a discount now.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis with Exclusive Jessica Cruz Green Lantern Minifigure

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis

Amazon has updated a listing of the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis original animated movie which will include an exclusive LEGO Jessica Cruz Green Lantern minifigure. The movie will come in both Blu-Ray and DVD formats which seems to both include the Jessica Cruz minifigure. Images of the minifigure have surfaced online a few months ago but it’s nice to see where we are able to get it. LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis will be released sometime this summer. Check out the trailer below.

LEGO & DC Comics are at it again: Aquaman has to defend his ocean realm against Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns with the help of the Justice League: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg & Green Lantern. There will also be some newbies to the DC animated world sprinkled in. LEGO DC Super Heroes – Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis is set to release later this summer.

LEGO Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406) Polybag Found at LEGOLAND

LEGO Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406)

Late last month, the official images of the LEGO Unikitty sets started appearing online along with the Collectible Figure blind bags which are slated to come out later this summer. There’s now also news of a polybag for the theme which has started to hit LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers as well as on eBay called the Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406).

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

It has 46 pieces and includes the most basic variant of Unikitty. What’s interesting here is that Unikitty uses a new reverse 1×3 plate for the neck that connects to a pin to give the head more stability unlike the original Unikitty from The LEGO Movie line. You can check out a review of the polybag from Just2Good below. There’s no word on a wider availability at this time as LEGOLAND usually sells polybags before other retailers but I’ll keep you updated.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Movie to Set Comparison

It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison.

As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are six sets that have been released so far for this movie so let’s get started. Be warned, there are spoilers but that goes without saying.


Outrider Dropship Attack (76101)

The Outrider Dropship Attack depicts the scene in Wakanda with a few members of the Black Order and the Outriders. The minifigure selection of Captain America, Black Widow, and a couple of Outriders are definitely accurate as they all appear in this scene. Both Captain America and Black Widow are in their new outfits and I do like how Captain America has his beard. The Outriders themselves are decent using a new neck brace piece for … Continue

LEGO Star Wars UCS Cloud City Rumored Details

May the 4th has passed and the set that was released was the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) and not the rumored Cloud City set but there are some new details of the set coming out of Eurobricks recently. User Paperballpark, who is considered a reliable source of info, has revealed that there is a Cloud City (75222) set coming, most likely in the fall, and it’s a playset similar to the Death Star (75159). They mention that if you “chop the bottom off the Death Star, then add a few platforms and a ship or two,” it’ll be what we could expect in the set. The ships are rumored to be a medium-sized Slave I and a Twin-Pod Cloud Car.

As for the play details, it’ll be open like the Death Star and I assume it’ll have different rooms with scenes from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back like the dining room, the carbon freezing chamber, incinerator room, and the famous “I Am Your Father” scene which is also a LEGO Ideas project that is currently under review. You can read more about some little teasers about the Cloud City set here.

Again as usual, these are purely rumors at this time until LEGO announces something in the distant future however these are some interesting details that are hard to ignore.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months.

LEGO Creative Storybook (40291) Closer Look

LEGO Creative Storybook (40291)

If you didn’t see it a few days ago, I posted about the June 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and the big promotion for the month is the LEGO Creative Storybook (40291). It will be free with a purchase of $99 or more from June 4-20, while supplies last, and it is basically in the style of a pop-up book based on Hans Christian Andersen and his fairy tale stories.

As I mentioned before, this promo set may be a teaser to a LEGO Ideas project that may turn out to become an official set later on but we’ll see. In the meantime, we can look forward to the Creative Storybook which shows a scene from The Ugly Duckling along with Andersen writing a story in an outdoor setting.

LEGO City Capital (60200)

In a nice surprise, Amazon has listed a previously unknown summer 2018 LEGO City set with the Capital (60200). The details regarding the pricing and piece count are not known at this time but it looks to be in the scale of the previous large-scale City sets like the Town Square and City Square (60097).

Included in this set are thirteen minifigures, a double-decker bus, a four-wheel crane, and some smaller vehicles. There’s also a mobile ice cream cart along with a standalone hot dog stand as well. There’s also a small skate ramp with a basket on one side but the bigger buildings include a museum and a hotel.

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Y-Wing (75181) Blueprint First Look

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Blueprint

A few days ago, I talked about some of the upcoming “exclusive” promotions that will be happening for the LEGO Black VIP card holders which includes a special blueprint poster of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing (75181). It looks like we have our first look at this poster coming out of HelloBricks and it is said that Black Card holders can get it without a minimum purchase while non-card holders can get it with a minimum purchase. If you were looking for exclusiveness, unfortunately, you won’t find it here. Some of the other promotions that will be happening this weekend include:

– Free BB-8 (40288) with purchase of $75 or more.
– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

Update: I’ve gotten concrete information from a legitimate source the that the poster is only available for Black Card holders with a purchase of $35 or more. Non-card holders will not be able to get it.

LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) Promotional Set Revealed

LEGO Creative Personalities (40291)

The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling.

There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on LEGO Ideas and this set could come out in conjunction with it as a gift-with-purchase set. This all depends on the Pop-Up Book coming out as the winner of the Third 2017 Review Stage but that announcement is still a long ways away. This is purely speculation by me but what are your guys’ thoughts about this little LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set?

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card May the 4th Promotion?

LEGO Star Wars Platinum R2-D2

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event.

There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few places.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288)

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue

LEGO City Summer 2018 Hospital (60204) Set Revealed

LEGO City Hospital (60204)

It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten one but there are now images of the new upcoming LEGO City Hospital (60204). If you’ve been collecting City sets, you would know that a LEGO hospital set has been really rare the past few years since the theme has been dominated by Police and Firefighting sets.

LEGO City Hospital (60204)

In this set, you get the three story hospital along with an ambulance as well as a helicopter. For the minifigures, there are doctors, nurses, paramedics, numerous patients including one in a wheelchair, and a family with a stroller.

All in all, the Hospital is a great addition to any City layout and for those who haven’t had a chance to get one before, this one is a great opportunity to add to your collection.

There’s no details on what the episode will consist of but it’ll probably feature some AFOLs from Bricks LA from earlier this year as well as some footage from Billund. It was stated in a comment on my previous post about the show that the LEGO episode will focus on things that previous LEGO documentaries didn’t focus on.

There are now more detailed images of the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) from the summer 2018 wave of the LEGO Creator sets. This year is the year of the roller coasters and it’s due time that we get something like this to add to the Fairground subtheme for LEGO Creator line.

LEGO Celebrates 10 Years of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes

Earlier today, LEGO released a new image which is their version of the 10 year celebration poster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it may give some hints on possible new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes minifigures. Some of the more notable things include a barely visible Wasp, War Machine, Bucky Barnes as well as Wong with updated printing.

This is interesting because they could show up in a summer release set for Infinity War similar to the Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) for Captain America: Civil War. This is purely speculation as I haven’t heard of any concrete information about it. There was a rumor late last year of the largest Infinity War set with set 76106 which could possibly include those characters.

Again, this poster could purely just be a promo image but we know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers so who knows. Sound off below of what you think this could mean.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Baby Velociraptor Playpen (30382) Polybag Official Images

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Baby Velociraptor Playpen (30382)

If you’re looking to complete your collection of LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, it looks like there’s a new polybag that has shown up over on Walmart called the Baby Velociraptor Playpen (30382). What’s a big theme release without a polybag, right? It contains 48 pieces and retails for $3.97 but it is currently not in stock at this time. The SKU is 396761494 if you’re searching on Brickseek to see if there are any locally. This polybag is the cheapest way to get the baby Velociraptor so I think it’ll be a very popular polybag when it comes out.

Train your own baby Velociraptor with this mini LEGO Jurassic World play set, featuring a playpen, shelter, feeding crane, drumstick, bone and water feeder.

LEGO BrickHeadz Incredibles 2 Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613) Official Images

LEGO BrickHeadz Incredibles 2 Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613)

A few weeks ago, we got a first look at the upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz Incredibles 2 Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613). There are now high quality official product images of the set and it looks even nicer especially with all the printed pieces included on both of the characters. I particularly like the printed googles on Frozone and I can see it being very useful on custom builds. Also note that all of the 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets do not have the printed tile for the base which makes me question why they did it with the previous ones. According to the Spring 2018 catalog, Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613) will be available starting on April 20.

Two Exclusive Early Access LEGO Sets Coming in May

LEGO May 2018 Exclusives

The last important piece of news that comes out of the May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar is that LEGO has revealed there will be two new exclusive sets that will be available for Early Access for LEGO VIP members from May 16-31.

One of the sets that could be coming out for Early Access is the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) which was teased back at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The speculation comes from the announcement on the minisite for the set which shows that the release date had been pushed up to June 1 for world release. This makes sense as Early Access is a few weeks before the general release of the set.

LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron

The other set that will be coming out is a complete mystery to me. From what I’ve gathered online, it could be the Visitor’s Center from Jurassic Park as it has been heavily rumored. As we know by now, we’re already getting a Walmart exclusive 25th anniversary set called the Jurassic park Velociraptor Chase (75932) and there’s talk that it could somehow connect to the Visitor’s Center. But again, these are just rumors so we’ll get the information of the second Early Access set later this month or early next month.

What are your guesses on what the exclusives that will be coming out next month early for VIPs? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO BrickHeadz Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) First Look

LEGO BrickHeadz Tactical Batman & Superman (41610)

A short while ago, I did a post of the May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and on the back of the calendar, we can see a brand new LEGO BrickHeadz set that will be available starting in May. As you can see in the image above, we will be getting the Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) set from the Justice League movie which will be a two-pack and will retail for $19.99.

There’s no word on piece count but this will be the third version of Batman and the second for Superman in the BrickHeadz line but these two will complete the Justice League lineup of super heroes.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Releasing April 16

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Get your wallets ready! The Spring 2018 LEGO Store Catalogs are now showing up in mailboxes for those who are still getting mail and inside we get more information of some of the upcoming set releases. For the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, we’ve gotten a general mid-April release date for them but the catalog finally gives a firm release date for them as next Monday, April 16, at least here in the US.

Hopefully, LEGO has learned their lesson from the previous LEGO Jurassic World sets and made enough to go around as a few sets from the last wave had pretty limited quantities. I have a feeling that a few of these sets will be very popular among fans including the classic Jurassic Park set. Below are the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets that will be coming out next week.


LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Pteranodon Chase (75926) – $19.99 | 126 pieces

LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Transport (75933) First Look

LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Transport (75933)

You may have thought that you’ve seen all of the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets but Walmart has another set that we haven’t had an official image of which is the T. rex Transport (75933). Yes, there was an image of the set on eBay but I didn’t want to report on that earlier. It has 609 pieces but the price point is still a mystery at this time. The minifigures in the set include Zia Rodriguez and two guards but you also get a baby dino as well as a full-sized T-Rex. This set was thought to be a Toys R Us exclusive but it looks like it’ll be available at Walmart as well as on Shop@Home.

Track the Tyrannosaurus Rex in this big-action play set scene inspired by Jurassic World and return it to the transporter, featuring a single-seater truck, detachable container with opening and lockable side panels, and a mobile laboratory unit.

This T. rex toy includes 3 minifigures and 2 dinosaur figures.

Includes 3 minifigures: Zia and 2 guards, plus 2 dinosaur figures.

Features a single-seater truck and a detachable trailer with a containment unit that has opening and lockable side panels, landing gear, plus a mobile medical unit and monitoring system with 2 transfusion leads.

T. rex features posable limbs, head and snapping jaws.

Weapons include a gun stud shooter and a shock prod.

LEGO Star Wars Solo Sets Reportedly Found at Walmart Stores

LEGO Star Wars Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212)

There are various reports that the new LEGO Star Wars Solo sets have started to show up at various Walmart stores including the new Kessel Run Millennium Falcon. Also found there was the non-Solo themed sets with Yoda’s Hut. It looks like street dates have been bypassed and people were able to purchase them without any issues but your mileage may vary on that as some stores might not allow it. If you have found some of these sets, let us know in the comments where at. Keep in mind that they will also be available in May just in time for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and its promotions.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) Review

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597)

Ever since LEGO revealed the next iteration of the BrickHeadz line with Go Brick Me (41597), LEGO fans may think differently of this set even if they haven’t picked up a single BrickHeadz before. The idea of this set is that you are able to customize the BrickHeadz to your liking whether it be of yourself or pretty much anybody else. It has a generous 708 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a great deal even if you do not intend to build a single BrickHeadz out of this set.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597)


Contents

There are are seven different bags along with the instruction booklet and a small sticker sheet. One of the bags is numbered which is used to build the blank BrickHeadz, aka Nonnie, which is used as a template.

The other bags have parts that are used to create your own unique BrickHeadz character. The one with the tan, brown, and dark orange bricks are used for BrickHeadz’ skin color while the colorful bag are used for building the torsos and legs. The parts in the other bags are separated into yellow, orange, brown, and black are used for the head and hair.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597)

The sticker sheet has a number of transparent decals that you can add on to the BrickHeadz for even more detailing. I especially like the Blacktron one as that particular one could be very popular among fans.

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th BB-8 Promotion Rumor

We’re already a few days into April but you may have noticed that there’s no May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar that I usually report on at the beginning of the month. That’s because LEGO is keeping it under wraps for now for surprise promotions for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event however there are already rumors of what one of the promotions will be. Word has it that BB-8 may be the polybag that will be given out as a gift with purchase and the size would be similar to R2-D2 (30611) from last year. The build would be similar to the BB-8 from the Bricktober 2017 event last year but with printed parts. Stay tuned as we get closer to May for any reveals.

It is in the same line as the previous Seasonal sets that come in the little cardboard box which included the Iconic Easter (5004468), Gingerbread Man (5005156), Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936), and the current Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249).

As you can see from image above, the set comes in a tropical hut design with the Banana Guy wearing some sandals while having a boombox as an accessory. There’s no word yet on the availability for the US at this time but it is already available at LEGOLAND Billund. I assume this set will be part of a promotion this summer as it fits the vibe of the set.

LEGO Ideas I am Amelia Earhart Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The I am Amelia Earhart project by Ellen Kooijman (Alatariel) and Brad Meltzer is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project has 186 pieces and it is based on the children’s book of the same name with it featuring the famous pilot along with her yellow plane, Canary. With this project hitting 10k supporters, it is Alatariel’s fourth project to hit that mark. There was a slight scare for this project because it was down to its last 30 days of its final extension but there was a lot of support the last day or so to help it get over the hump.

The project now joins the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano, SR-71A The Final Flight, Treehouse, Stitch, and Modular Arcade as the projects to qualify for the First 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Modular Arcade Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Modular Arcade by Astronaut Avila is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. As you can see, the project is a corner modular style which should be able to connect to existing modular buildings. The building has three floors, pizzaria, arcade, and apartment and each of them are filled with little details.

The project now joins the Embraer A-29 Super Tucano, SR-71A The Final Flight, Treehouse, and Stitch as the projects to qualify for the First 2018 Review Stage.

Tiffany Haddish Signs on for The LEGO Movie Sequel

Warner Bros. has had a tight lip on the details of The LEGO Movie Sequel and there hasn’t been a lot of information about it since last September. It has come to light from The Hollywood Reporter that Tiffany Haddish has signed on to voice a brand new character in the franchise. She joins the returning cast of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill with Mike Mitchell at the helm. There’s no mentioning on how Haddish will fit in to the sequel but it’ll be interesting to see how her character will be incorporated to the story.

The LEGO Movie 2 will be in theaters on February 8, 2019 unless it gets delayed.

LEGO City Train Sales on Amazon

I haven’t done these posts in a while but Amazon currently has some LEGO City train sets on sale which price matches some other retailers. They are some of the older train sets from 2014 so they could be retired soon given that there’s a rumor of some new train sets coming this summer/fall. There are also some additional track sets that are on sale which are at their lowest prices ever on Amazon including the Flex Tracks (7499) and the Switch Tracks (7895).


High-speed Passenger Train (60051) – $117.19 (22% off)

LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) Designer Video

The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) was announced last week and LEGO has released the designer video of the set. This video actually goes into the design process a little bit more than previous designer videos as a majority of the video talks about the set more rather than the LEGO designers Junya Suzuki and Mark Tranter. The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy set will be available starting on March 31 for the retail price of $34.99.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Found Early at Target

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18

If you want to get your hands on the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71021), you may want to your local Target store as they have started to appear at various locations. The price of them have stayed the same with them being $3.99 each. Finding them early is somewhat key if you hope to score the fairly exclusive Policeman minifigure which comes one per box. If you haven’t yet, check out my review of the series and see the breakdown of how many minifigures come in a new box of 60. If you have found them, let us know in the comments where you’ve found yours as it could help others as well.

LEGO The Incredibles Video Game Box Art

LEGO The Incredibles Video Game

Last week, the internet kind of broke with the reveal of the teaser of the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game comign from the back of the instructions for LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets. There weren’t many details except that it would be coming out for the PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and XBox One.

There’s some new information that came out of Amazon Canada which revealed that the potential release date would be on June 15 which is the same day the movie comes out in theaters. Also on those listings, they’ve also revealed the box art for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The covers show Mr. Incredible in a bulkier LEGO form, Elastigirl, Violet Parr, Dashiell Parr, and Jack-Jack in the foreground with Frozone hovering the in background.

I’ve been told that the official announcement of the game from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be coming out soon so stay tuned for that. There’s no word on an exclusive minifigure to go with the game but I wouldn’t mind having a LEGO minifigure of Frozone since we haven’t had one before.

Join The Brick Fan Subreddit

The Brick Fan Subreddit

Facebook recently has been making changes that don’t necessarily help page owners and with the recent news of the data privacy scandal, it’s time to make some changes around here. A few days ago, I start my own subreddit where I can post there without it not being seen by users as Facebook sometimes does. Some of you may have already subscribed to it when I posted on social media that I created the subreddit.

The subreddit also allows users to easily post their own content where without having to go look around FB on how to post on a particular page and it’s chronological, a very good feature.

Anyways, feel free to join the subreddit and connect on there as well. It looks pretty plain but I’ll change out the layout when I have time. Again, thank you everyone for your continued support as we keep evolving.

LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) BrickBros UK Review

Earlier today, LEGO revealed the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) set and the BrickBros UK have already done a review of set. If you don’t know, the BrickBros UK are the submitters of the original design on LEGO Ideas. The set will be available starting a day early on March 31 with the UK having a special signing event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store on March 29.

Downloading from Devon, England, brothers Drew and Tom are the talented fan designers behind the LEGO® Ideas Tron: Legacy set.

Tom and Drew’s small childhood collection of LEGO bricks inspired them to come up with their own scenarios and builds. In designing their LEGO Ideas project, “We went through several models before settling on a design we both liked. We wanted to get the scale of the Light Cycle to minifigure right, and the overall colour scheme had to reflect the Tron feel.”

LEGO Objects to Toys R Us Liquidation Sales

Toys R Us’ bankruptcy court hearing was yesterday and they’ve announced that the going out of business sales will being Thursday for the rest of the stores with it running until June or earlier if inventories sell out quicker. Toys R Us says they are working to make the maximum payments they can to the vendors as well as the banks as they are starting to close down more than 700 stores. They are also wanting to stop more than $450 million in payments to suppliers which is a move that will hurt smaller toy companies on their books.

According to a report by Reuters, there are more than 50 vendors, including LEGO, that have objected to the liquidation. Obviously LEGO would like to have their products back instead of having it sold at lower prices in order to make payments to the banks. This corresponds to the memo that I reported on seeing the other day that lists LEGO on the “Do Not Liquidate” list but there are also reports that some stores have listed LEGO sets at 10% off which are probably the older ones.

The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Contest Winners

The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71020)

Last month, I ran The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Contest and it’s now time to announce the winners of the contest. I’m sorry about the lateness of choosing the winners but I’ve been dealing with other things the past few weeks. I was pretty lenient on how the builds were judged and there were some really creative ones. Since LEGO accidentally sent me another box of minifigures, I’ll also be choosing a few runner up winners, in no particular order. I’ll be contacting the winners to get their shipping details and whatnot through the platform used.

LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2 Minutes

LEGO Star Wars Snoke's Throne Room (75216)

Today in anticipation of Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi coming to home media next week, LEGO and Star Wars has released a new video called LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2 Minutes which is basically an abridged version of the movie. In the middle of the video, we get to the scene in Snoke’s throne room and we may have gotten a sneak peek at the rumored set coming later this year tentatively called the same thing or The Throne Room Duel (75216). The set may not look exactly the same way but it’s assumed that it’ll look somewhat similar. For the play features of the set, it is said that it has a revolving elevator and another feature that drags Rey to the throne and the minifigures will include Snoke, Rey, Kylo Ren, and a couple of Praetorian Guards. Check out the video below.

Toys R Us Closing Liquidation and LEGO Exclusives Details

As we know by now, barring any miracles, all of the Toys R Us stores in the US will be closing in a few months and the main questions are will there be any LEGO sales and what will happen to the TRU exclusives. From the memo that I saw at work, all of the current promotions that are going on will finish out and the liquidation sales that people have been waiting for will start soon unless your store was from the initial wave of closings that were announced.

Also on the memo was the “Do Not Liquidate” list which includes LEGO. From what I saw, it pretty much included all of the newer LEGO sets. It has been talked about around the LEGO community that TRU will be sending all their LEGO products back to LEGO themselves and there will be no sales on the sets, at least the more recent ones. It’s nice to finally see some confirmation and stop with the guessing on whether or not there will be LEGO sales during the liquidation.

As for the TRU exclusives like the Bricktober sets or polybags, it’s hard to say what will happen to them at this time. Since LEGO probably has the rest of the year planned out already, they may have to do some reorganizing for the distribution or delay them. For example, it would be weird to send TRU labeled Bricktober sets to other retailers like Target and that won’t happen. It wouldn’t be a surprise if LEGO made a … Continue

LEGO Jurassic Park and Incredibles 2 Sets Found at Walmart

LEGO Jurassic World Incredibles 2 Walmart

Last week, I reported on a couple of new LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets and one of them was the 25th anniversary Jurassic Park set called the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932). It looks like that set has started to hit sheleves a little early at Walmart because a reader has emailed in a couple of images of the set that he was able to purchase at his location in Connecticut.

In addition, he also found the third LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 set which is called Elastigirl’s Rooftop Pursuit (10759). The price was revealed to be $19.99 from the New York Toy Fair and it contains 95 pieces. The minifigures includes Elastigirl and another character.

Your mileage may vary but it’s worth checking out if you are looking forward to these sets. Thanks to Jay for emailing in the images.

LEGO Ranked Number 2 on 2018 Global CSR RepTrak 100

LEGO has been announced as the second-most highly regarded company in the world on the 2018 RepTrak 100 survey. The Reputation Institute has annually done the survey in which LEGO ranked first last year but dropped just one spot this year which shows you how much the public still likes the company in terms of emotional appeal. This year also marks the eighth year in a row that LEGO has been in the top 10 on the survey. Check out the press release below.

BILLUND – March 15, 2018: Today, Reputation Institute released the annual RepTrak®100 survey. The LEGO Group maintains its rank from last year as the second-most highly regarded company in the world when it comes to corporate reputation.

Chief Executive Officer of the LEGO Group, Niels B. Christiansen, commented on the results:

“We are very happy and humbled to maintain such high regard by the public. It reflects the unique LEGO® idea and values, and the dedication our employees show every day to bring LEGO play to children all over the world. It is truly an honour to be embraced by the level of affinity that LEGO fans of all ages show us.”

“Since the LEGO brick was patented 60 years ago, we have been committed to inspiring and developing the builders of tomorrow. Our ambition to reach more children with LEGO experiences is more important than ever, and our purpose is what drives us and keeps us on our toes. What is truly important about this ranking is what lies behind it;

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) Designer Video

LEGO has just released the designer video for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) which comes a few weeks after the set became available. I still don’t understand why LEGO is releasing the videos after the set are already available and not the day of or before. The video features LEGO designers Justin Ramsden and Adam Corbally who talk about some of the features of the set.

The Hulkbuster is available again on Shop@Home after being on backstock for a few days after its release a few weeks ago. Now is a good time to pick it up if you’ve been waiting on it because of the double VIP points promotion that’s currently going on.

Build Your Own LEGO Wooden Duck with JK Brickworks

Some of the younger generation don’t know that LEGO started out as a wooden toy company before they transitioned into the LEGO bricks we know today. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick, JK Brickworks has built his own version of the classic wooden duck using modern bricks and he has also provided the building instructions including the parts list consisting of a moderate 377 pieces. If you watch the video below, you can see the duck in motion with the opening and closing mouth feature. Of course, you can also change the colors to your liking.

Avengers: Infinity War Final Trailer Released

Marvel has released the highly anticipated final trailer for Avengers: Infinity War and it looks very epic. We can see some new scenes that we haven’t seen before and we can somewhat correspond them to some of the LEGO sets that have been released already.

Note that Hawkeye still hasn’t made an appearance in the trailers or promotional products so I assume he’ll be used similar to how Spider-Man was used in Captain America: Civil War.

The movie will premiere in theaters on April 27 but you can now pick up the sets on Shop@Home and on Amazon

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet Review

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet

Back in January, LEGO released an exclusive vintage LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) and if you redeemed it via your receipt, you’re supposed to get the 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet. It looks like they have started to finally ship out and I’ve just received mine after I submitted my receipt at the end of January.

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet

The 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet comes in a standard white mailer and when you take it out, there’s also black envelope with the 60 Years logo wrapped around it. The cover of the booklet is again embossed with the logo and as you can see, they are numbered on the bottom left. My copy is a very low 482/15,000.

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet

Inside you get a history lesson of LEGO and the LEGO brick that is divided in to decades from the 1950’s to the 2010’s. Within each decade, there are some fun facts that you may not have known about unless you’re caught up with every bit of LEGO history. Did you know the first sets with building instruction manuals didn’t come out until 1964?

Toys R Us Will be Selling or Closing All US Stores

It looks like the sun will be setting for Toys R Us permanently as The Wall Street Journal has reported that the company will sell or close all of its remaining stores in the United States. The news came from CEO David Brandon in a conference call to employees and it will result in about 33,000 people losing their jobs, me included. It was been reported that Toys R Us will file for liquidation ahead of the court hearing tomorrow. I’ve read that Toys R Us Canada will not be affected but Toys R Us UK will be closing their stores as well.

I started a Toys R Us a few years ago during the holiday season and was actually pretty excited for it. It was busy and I remember working long hours but it was worth it to see kids and adults happy. That all changed recently after the company filed for bankruptcy last year. The mood shifted and everyone was on edge thinking when our last day will be. I honestly still don’t know as the conference call happened after I got off work today. I will probably hear more about it tomorrow.

Just the feeling of walking into a legit toy store is different from your other retailers like Walmart or Target whose selection isn’t as vast as Toys R Us. I’m sure you’ve felt the same way as a child and maybe as an adult as well. I’m just sad that my future children won’t experience the same thing unless another toy-centric … Continue

LEGO wants you to build a 8×12 stud LEGO Friends Go-Kart vignette which has to consist of a Go-Kart along with some surrounding actions. This could be some characters preparing for the race, trees, street, part of a race track, or traffic signs. The build should only relate to LEGO Friends and fit into the Heartlake City universe. This means no third part IPs including LEGO IPs.

There will be one grand prize winner, who will receive:
-A collection of 12 upcoming LEGO Friends sets, shipped once they’ve available, valued at $430 USD
-Your choice of $600 USD worth of items from Shop.LEGO.com
-Trophy designed by a LEGO Friends designer

There will be two runners-ups, who will receive:

The trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald dropped earlier today and LEGO has revealed potentially one of the sets that will accompany the movie. The set features a Thestral-draen carriage along with Johnny Depp’s Grindelwald along with a female minifigure.

There’s also reported to be another set fir the movie tentatively named Newt Scamander’s Suitcase where it features a brick-built suitcase which can open up to show a scene from the movie.

I believe the sets will be available starting in August so we can probably see them at San Diego Comic Con in a few months.

Walmart has revealed two more LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets including one for the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park. For the JW:FK set, it’s called the Dilophosaurus Outpost Attack (75931) and it confirms that the famous Dilophosaurus will be making a return to the movie.

As for the original Jurassic Park set, it’s called the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932). This set shows the scene from Jurassic Park where Alan, Ellie, Lex, and Tim are in the control room with the velociraptor breaking in. If you look closely at the images, there are lots of easter eggs thrown in like the Dennis Nedry magic word screen and the cold storage room with the embryos.

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Winning Model Controversy

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space

The LEGO Ideas Moments in Space winner was announced a few weeks ago but when you first look at it, you wouldn’t think there would be some controversy behind it. As you can see above, the winning entry was a coin-operated space shuttle by mjsmiley that you can probably find in front of a supermarket or a convenience store.

This is where the controversy comes in or it may just be a big coincidence and people are looking too much into it. Samuel over on the Brickset Forums had been providing members of the forum with instructions for the 2016 LEGO Brand Manager Retail Conference build which is also a coin-operated shuttle, shown below. As you can see, they do have some similarities and the creator has stated that they’ve never seen the Retail Conference build before.

I decided to take a little time after the announcement to see what people were saying about it. I honestly don’t know if the build was intentionally ripped it off or not but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt however, others are still skeptical on the forums and on social media. I think it’s a cute little build that I’m looking forward to getting as a gift-with-purchase sometime next year. Plus I doubt that LEGO themselves didn’t forget about a set they’ve released for the retail side of the company. For now, I think it’s a legit entry to the contest with some creative differences in a similar building style.

LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) Release Date Changed to June 1

LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron

The upcoming LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) set was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair and LEGO said the original release date would be August 1. The LEGO minisite for the set is now live and they have pushed up the release date a few months to June 1. The 1:8 scale Bugatti Chiron will be the second set in the Technic Ultimate series with the first one being the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) and it will have 3,599 pieces and retail for 369.99 Euros.

LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) Price Reported to be Around 179.99 Euros

There still hasn’t been any information about the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set since it was announced that it would be become an official set until now. A user on Reddit has reported that the set will be 179.99 Euro/829.99 PLN which is equivalent to about $199.99 USD. This will make the LEGO Voltron set the most expensive one for the LEGO Ideas theme.

Because of the rumored price point, we can expect that it will have the most pieces in a LEGO Ideas set considering how big it will be with the five lions. For me personally, I love Voltron and if you somehow found my personal Instagram, you’ll see that I collect a variety of Voltron toys and I’ve been very anxiously waiting for the reveal of the set. The price point won’t probably deter me from picking it up, maybe even two, to display it both in lion mode and in combined mode, however it also may not appeal to others because of the high price point. Since it may be a summer or fall release, hopefully we get to see it at San Diego Comic Con since it’ll be a very worthy set to be on display there.

LEGO Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition Modifications by Chubbybots

If you’ve purchased the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105), you may have noticed that it has somewhat limited articulation to it, especially with the knees. This is before LEGO mech builder Chubbybots came along and did some modifications to it to make it what it could’ve been in the first place. He doesn’t provide a parts list or instructions but he has released a video showing the techniques he used to give the Hulkbuster more movement in the joints as well as bulkier looking shoulders. Check out the video below and subscribe to his channel if you’re interested in more mech-type builds.

It’s been almost a year since we’ve seen a traditional LEGO Collectible Minifigures series with Series 17 was released in May of last year.

In addition to the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets that have already been released, there are also some LEGO BrickHeadz sets coming for the movie as well.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526) Review

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526)

As I reported a few days ago, The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526) polybag has started to show up at Toys R Us locations across the US. It contains 84 pieces and retails for $3.99 each. The RWeb# is 33618/UPC 673419286091. What’s cool about this polybag is that there are enough parts in a polybag to recreate each of the main vehicles for the Ultimate Batmobile. The instructions are provided for the Batmobile shown on front of the polybag and the other builds can be downloaded here.

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path U-3PO Minifigure Revealed

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path U-3PO

LEGO has revealed the U-3PO minifigure that’s in the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path book that’s coming this summer. It’s a real disappointment as it looks to be the exact same as the one found in the LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar unless my eyes deceive me. Usually the DK books will include an exclusive variant of a character but this is just lazy on both DK and LEGO’s part. If you didn’t get the advent calendar, the book is the cheapest way to get U-3PO unless you get it individually on BrickLink or eBay.

The LEGO Group 2017 Annual Report Results

The LEGO Group Annual Results 2017

Today The LEGO Group has released the 2017 Annual Results and the results weren’t as good as they had expected. The consumer sales remained flat throughout the year as they sold out of inventory as compared to 2016 but trended upwards towards the end of the year. This is the first time in 12 years that profits has declined and net profit dropped 17%.

The top selling themes for 2017 include LEGO City, Star Wars, DUPLO, Creator, Friends. Star Wars remains a popular novelty theme and remains in line with their expectations.

Digitalization remains a high priority as LEGO Boost was on a lot of kids’ wishlist during the holiday season. The LEGO channel on YouTube is the number one brand channel on the site. LEGO Life continues to be a popular app among kids which gives them a safe place to share their creations.

– Revenue for the full year decreased by 8 percent to DKK 35.0 billion compared with DKK 37.9 billion in 2016. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, revenue for the full year declined 7 percent compared with 2016.

– Operating profit (profit before financial items and tax) for 2017 was DKK 10.4 billion compared with DKK 12.4 billion for 2016, a decrease of 17 percent year on year.

– Net profit for the full year was DKK 7.8 billion compared with DKK 9.4 billion in 2016.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526) Available at Toys R Us

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526)

If you’re looking for The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526), you may want to check out your nearest Toys R Us store as there are reports that they have started to show up there. The instructions show you how to build the regular Batmobile but there are additional instructions for the Bat-Tank and Batwing. The only downside is that you get enough parts in one polybag for one of the vehicles so you’ll have to purchase three polybags to create the complete thing. Like with the larger 70917 counterpart, you are able to connect all three together to create The Ultimate Batmobile.

In addition to Toys R Us, the polybag has also been seen at Fred Meyer as well as LEGOLAND parks/Discover Centers. The only upside to TRU is that they are more widespread than the others, minus the ones that are closing.

The LEGO Group Announcing Annual Results 2017 Tomorrow

The LEGO Group Annual Results 2017

The LEGO Group will be announcing their 2017 Annual Results tomorrow at 10:00AM CET (1:00AM PST). Last year at September, they released the financial details for the first half of 2017 and it showed that revenue was down compared to the same period in 2016. As a result, LEGO had to restructure the company which meant that they had to move some people around as well as trimming about eight percent of their workforce.

The press conference tomorrow will be revealing the numbers for last year as well as the top LEGO themes and sets. Hopefully, they’ll go into details of what contributed to the lost revenue at least in the first half of 2017. Maybe the second half of the year with the holiday shopping season helped balance everything out but we shall see. I’ll try to stay up for it but I’ll probably get knocked out because I have to work early tomorrow morning.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulkbuster Art Print Details

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulkbuster Art Print (5005573)

Today was the release of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) and whether you purchased it online or got it at a LEGO Brand Store early, you will receive two different prints illustrated by Roy Lim. I decided to take the chance and went to my LEGO Store to get it and upon inspection of the prints, they are more high quality than the usual posters we’ve gotten before. These are not the paper type posters but more of a thicker card stock with some texturing on both sides of it and the size of them are 10″ x 13″.

The thicker card stock means that they will get a crease in them if ever they get folded or get hit on the sides. This is a reason why I went to the LEGO Store instead of purchasing it online so I could keep them in near pristine condition. I have a feeling that they will get damaged in the shipping boxes unless they are in some protective envelopes.

As for the Hulkbuster set itself, it is currently now on backorder and will ship by March 17 as of this post. I also noticed that the sketch print no longer shows up in the cart as it appears to have sold out but the colored version is still available.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) Now Available

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105)

The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) is now available for purchase on Shop@Home. The set retails for $119.99 and it is a Marvel UCS version of the Hulkbuster from the 76031 set from 2015.

I’ve heard there are a limited number of the print sketch by Ron Lim so jump on it if you want to get one. As I mentioned before, LEGO Brand Stores may only limited quantities of the sketch print depending on how many they got in today.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot Keychain (5005244) Revealed

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot (5005244)

The Singapore LEGO Certified Store, Bricks World, has revealed a new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot (5005244) Keychain polybag that will be released in the near future. I believe this is the third keychain polybag that LEGO has released so far with the first two being the Kiss Kiss Batman and Master Wu.

This version of Teen Groot has it with an angry expression which is different from the one found in the Thor’s Weapon Quest (76102) so that’s a little disappointing for those want regular minifigure with that expression.

There’s no word yet on availability here in the US but it’ll probably be part of a LEGO promotion in an upcoming month. The original date for the Avengers: Infinity War release was in May before it got bumped up so it’s possible that we could see it then.

LEGO Ideas Tron (21314) Releasing in April

The Italian March/April 2018 LEGO Store promotional booklet has been released and on the back of it, it shows that the LEGO Ideas Tron (21314) will be released in April. There hasn’t been any details of the set ever since it was announced as the next official LEGO Ideas set. Since Tron will be released in April, it looks like the reveal won’t be long so stay tuned for that.

Thank you to Andrea from Mattonito for the heads up.

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Winner Announced

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space

The LEGO Ideas Moments in Space contest was a really popular one and LEGO has announced the winner and the model that will be turned into a Gift with Purchase set in the near future. And the winner is…Cosmic Rocket Ride! (Coin Operated) by mjsmiley. I had a feeling that this model would be chosen as it had lots of appeal and the LEGO judges felt the same way. You can check out the judging breakdown and the rest of the runner up builds as well an honorable mention winner in the link above. Congratulations to the winner and I’m excited to see how LEGO converts it into a future GWP set.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) Promotion Coming Back in April

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376)

Back in December right when the promotion for the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) was about to begin, LEGO announced that it would be cancelled due to part of it not meeting quality standards. Fast forward a few months and it looks like LEGO has fixed whatever issue it had and the promotion will be back on from April 13 – May 3. The promo will be similar to before where you have to spend $60 or more on a LEGO Star Wars purchase. The only difference is that the promotional period is shorter and will end right before the May the 4th promo begins. I know there’s a specific niche of collectors who like these pod type sets and will be glad to know that the Darth Vader Pod wasn’t completely cancelled, just delayed.

LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) Coming in April

LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358)

LEGO will celebrating the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure in April and there are things happening next month to commemorate the event. One of the things is the release of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures which will have a special Classic Police Officer to find. Another thing they are doing is releasing an exclusive promotional LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358). According to the April 2018 LEGO Store Calendar, you can get for free with a purchase of $75 or more from April 1-15, while supplies last.

The set itself looks like it will be using the cardboard box it comes in as part of the layout. The build will include a factory with some microfigures such as a classic spaceman, a policeman, and what looks to be P.I.X.A.L. from Ninjago as well as a red wagon on the side. The minifigure also looks interesting as it seems to have a nice looking yellow shirt. One of the bummers of this set is that it does use part of the box as the setting and not using LEGO bricks to create the walls. I think this is a misstep but we’ll have to get a clearer look when the official images come out in a few weeks to make a judgement on it.

What do you think of the set and will you be picking it up next month?

LEGO Launches Initiative for Sustainable LEGO Bricks and Boxes

LEGO has launched a new initiative to start producing LEGO plant elements using plant-based plastic that is created from sugarcane. There will also be LEGO boxes that will be using the same methods as well and we can expect those already for 2018. This move is part of The LEGO Group’s dedication to use sustainable materials in a majority of their products and packaging by 2030. It’ll be interesting to see how if there are any notable differences in the plant elements and how they hold up in the run.

LEGO® botanical elements such as leaves, bushes and trees will be made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane in the future and will appear in LEGO boxes already in 2018.

Production has started on a range of sustainable LEGO® elements made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The new sustainable LEGO ‘botanical’ elements will come in varieties including leaves, bushes and trees.

“At the LEGO Group we want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. We are proud that the first LEGO elements made from sustainably sourced plastic are in production and will be in LEGO boxes this year. This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all LEGO bricks using sustainable materials,” said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group.

The move is part of the LEGO Group’s commitment to use sustainable materials in core products and packaging by 2030.

Even More LEGO BrickHeadz Rumored for 2018

LEGO BrickHeadz

Last week, I talked about some of the upcoming 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets which included the new Justice League, Back to the Future, and Minecraft as well as some Wizarding World BrickHeadz sets as announced during the New York Toy Fair. I’ve just received some new information for even more BrickHeadz sets from other themes that will be coming later this year. These BrickHeadz sets will encompass Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Frozen, and Star Wars.

First for the Wizarding World BrickHeadz, there will be two sets, one possibly of Newt Scamander and a two pack most likely consisting of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

For Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it is rumored be a two pack as well. The characters will most likely be of Owen and Claire but I’m hoping for one of them to be Ian Malcolm.

For Frozen, there will be two sets, one with Elsa and another two pack of Anna and Olaf.

Lastly for Star Wars, there are supposedly four sets in the pipeline which include Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and a two pack of Luke Skywalker and Yoda.

As always, these are purely rumors unless LEGO announces them or they are revealed on online toy shop product pages.


Justice League – Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) – $19.99
Back to the Future – Marty McFly & Doc Brown (41611) – $19.99
Minecraft – Steve & Creeper (41612) – $19.99
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (41614) – $19.99
Wizarding World (41615) – $14.99
Wizarding World (41616) – $9.99

LEGO Speed Champions Ferrari 488 GT3 “Scuderia Corsa” (75886) Review

LEGO Speed Champions Ferrari 488 GT3 "Scuderia Corsa" (75886)

Next up on my reviews of the 2018 LEGO Speed Champions set, the next one that I’ll be taking a look at is the Ferrari 488 GT3 “Scuderia Corsa” (75886). The set contains 179 pieces and will retail for $14.99 starting on March 1. We’ve already had a few Ferraris that have been released for the Speed Champions theme but let’s see if the Scuderia Corsa is a worthy addition to your collection. The contents of the box include three unnumbered bags, a bag of rims, the instruction booklet, a sticker sheet, and a loose chassis.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes March 3-4 Offers Revealed

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Art Print (5005573)

According to the March 2018 LEGO Store Calendar, there will be some special offers to kick off the release of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets and it looks like LEGO has revealed the offers for this weekend.

There are three offers that will be available only for this weekend. The first offer is the regular color Marvel art print (5005573) with a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes purchase of $25 or more which you can see above.

Next up is probably the best one which is the limited edition art print sketch (5005574) of the Hulkbuster by Marvel illustrator Ron Lim when you purchase The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105). This offer is only available for LEGO VIP members.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Limited Edition Art Ron Lim Print (5005574)

The last offer is the free LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardians’ Ship (30525) with a Marvel purchase of $75 or more.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardian's Ship (30525)

Technically you can get all three offers in one single swoop when you purchase the Hulkbuster since it meets all the requirements. The only issue when ordering on Shop@Home is if the prints are protected or will they be folded up which will be a major disappointment. I would suggest heading to a LEGO Brand Store to make your purchase to ensure the prints are in pristine condition when you get them. All three offers are available on Shop@Home until March 4 or while supplies last. I’ve been told that stores may not have many Hulkbusters and the sketch prints available to last both days so I suggest getting in line … Continue

LEGO House Tree of Creativity (400026)

In a surprise release at the beginning of the year, LEGO released Series 2 of The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71020). Like with the previous series, there are a total of 20 minifigures to collect. One new thing about this wave are the Batman branded baseplates that are used for the minifigures.

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet Update

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet

A lot of you who have purchased the LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) from Walmart in hopes of getting the free collectible booklet have asked whether others have gotten it or not even though they’ve submitted their receipt weeks ago. I’ve seen one or two images of the booklet online but the majority of readers who have contacted me have not received theirs at this time.

For me, I submitted my receipt on January 30 and haven’t gotten anything back so far. I’ve emailed customer service and they’ve escalated my case to an “account manager” to look into it. I’ve had others who have emailed in who have also contacted customer service and they stated that the booklets are actually shipping out today, February 26. I’m not sure if this is the case for everyone but it’s worth contacting [email protected] to see what’s going on. Thanks to Fergus for the update on this.

In similar news, there’s only two days left to purchase the LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) to be eligible for the booklet if it ever releases. Overall, it’s been somewhat short of a disappointment of how LEGO/Walmart has handled this 60th anniversary promotion so far from this booklet issue to the release of the three limited edition sets. Hopefully there’s still something up LEGO’s sleeve for the rest of the year.

LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles First Look

LEGO NINJAGO Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles

Continuing with some of the upcoming LEGO books this summer, there’s also a new LEGO Ninjago book that will be available starting in August. DK has previously some of the Build Your Own Adventure books in the past but there’s a new one called LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles. The book will be updated with some of the new Sons of Garmadon villains as well as ones that came after the previous book. As with the other books, there will be a LEGO minifigure as well as an exclusive model. There’s no word on what the build will be but there’s an outline of it on the cover.

LEGO Ninjago Build Your Own Adventure: Greatest Ninja Battles will be available on August 4 but you can pre-order it now on Amazon for 22% off the retail price as of this writing. It will also have Prime shipping and the Pre-order Price Guarantee.

Children will be inspired to create, play, and learn all about the awesome LEGO® NINJAGO® world. This build book combines more than 50 novel ideas for building with captivating story starters. It features five separate stories of the ninja’s greatest battles with their enemies the Anacondrai, Ghost Army, Sky Pirates, Vermillion, and the new 2018 villains: the Sons of Garmadon. Get building, then play out adventures of your own using your LEGO collection. The book comes with the bricks to build an exclusive vehicle that is featured in the story as well as a fold-out play mat and a

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path Book Coming in June

LEGO Star Wars Choose Your Path

Back when I was in grade school, there were these popular books called Choose Your Own Adventure in which you, the reader, are taken through an adventure and you’ll face options at various points to be taken to a number of different endings. This summer, DK will be releasing their own CYOA book with LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path which has the same premise. The book has 128 pages and will be available on June 5.

As with many other DK books, there will also be a minifigure included as well. Note that it doesn’t say “exclusive” minifigure so it could be one that has already been released. We’ll just have to wait and see who it will be as we get closer to the release date.

You can pre-order it now on Amazon for $19.99 with free shipping for Prime members who also get the Pre-order Price Guarantee.

Be the hero of this book and choose where to go in the LEGO® Star Wars(TM) galaxy. Learn how to battle, who to team up with, which side of the Force to join, plus much, much more. Read the text, then decide where to go next by selecting one of two options on every page. Do you want to travel around Jakku by speedy quadjumper or by four-legged luggabeast? Will you choose to join the rebels over Scarif, or to fly after the Inquisitor? On Mustafar, do you dare to battle Anakin, or will you join him on the dark side of the Force?!

LEGO Dimensions Expansion Packs Available Again at 99 Cents Only Stores

LEGO Dimensions Beetlejuice Fun Pack (71349)

Last year around this time, 99 Cents Only Stores started carrying various LEGO Dimensions including Fun Packs and Team Packs. It looks like they’re doing it again this year as a number of stores around the country are selling them again for only $1.99 each which is a great deal on some retired and soon to be retired expansion packs. All of the packs are still currently working even though LEGO Dimensions has been officially cancelled but there will be no new content. It seems that the 99 Cents stores have different inventories so I can say for sure which store has what so you’ll have to check out what your location has.

LEGO Boost Ninjago Stormbringer (70652) Product Demonstration

Back at the 2018 New York Toy Fair, LEGO showed off some new products and one of the new things that I haven’t seen much of on other outlets is a product demonstration of the LEGO Ninjago Stormbringer (70652). We already know that it will be available on August 1 for $39.99 but over on Pixel Dan’s channel, there’s a live demonstration of the set. When you connect it with LEGO Boost (17101), you can program the Stormbringer to do a variety of functions including leg movement, head and movement, and even roaring sounds. The set looks a little crude but it does bring kids in to teach them the basics of programming with LEGO Boost and the Stormbringer is the first of hopefully many more add-ons to the base system.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary Initial Look

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary

We haven’t talked about any LEGO books in quite a while but it looks like there’s now an image of the upcoming LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary that is slated to come out later this year. It is basically an updated version of the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes: Batman Visual Dictionary but this book will include pretty much everything LEGO DC-related that has been released from the past few years. You’ll also notice the blank space for an exclusive super hero minifigure which is basically the main draw for most fans. There’s no word yet on who this character is but hopefully it’s somebody that we haven’t gotten before. Chances are it’s another variant of an existing character but it’s fun to guess. Who do you think this exclusive minifigure will be?

Anyways, you can now pre-order the book on Amazon and it’ll be released on September 4. You also get the Amazon pre-order price guarantee where if the price drops after you place your order before the release date, you’ll only pay the lowest price that it’s offered at.

Celebrate the entire world of LEGO® DC Super Heroes with this comprehensive visual guide to all the minifigures, vehicles and sets, including the LEGO BATMAN MOVIE sets.Explore every detail of LEGO Batman’s Batcave, look around Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet, examine Lex Luthor’s awesome mech and find out about all the LEGO DC Super Heroes minifigures’ weapons and gadgets.

While at work today, I came across a box of them that was misshipped to my store which was actually supposed to go to a Toys R Us location. The polybag will retail for $3.99 each and the item number for it is 564017. There’s no word yet on when it will be available.

LEGO 60th Anniversary 10 Foot Brick Mini Documentary

Last month, LEGO celebrated the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick by placing a large-scale model of the red 2×4 in the middle of New York. They’ve also released a mini documentary of how the master builders transported the brick to the Flatiron District location. The video was released last week but due to the hooplah of the 2018 New York Toy Fair, it was overlooked. It’s cool to see these kinds of videos and if you didn’t know, LEGO has a secondary channel where they post these behind the scenes stuff.

Toys R Us Reported to Close Additional 200 Stores

You may have already heard this on the news but The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Toys R Us may close another 200 stores in addition to the 180 that was previously announced last month. This reported wave of closings will cut the number of stores in the US nearly in half. Honestly, I didn’t hear anything about the closings when I went in to work today after I read up on a few articles before going in. Supposedly there was a also conference call to discuss the future plans but I don’t see any articles of the results. I’ll see what information is known when I go back tomorrow.

If the new closings are true, that means it’ll be even harder for LEGO fans to get some of the exclusive items like polybags various sets that Toys R Us carries. It’ll be interesting to see if these exclusives are shifted to other retailers like Walmart and Target. To be fair, even though I work at Babies R Us, I do like shopping at TRU for some of the LEGO exclusives as well other stuff I collect. The only thing that bugs me about this whole thing is the bonuses that go to the executives instead to using this money to reinvest into the company. Maybe that’s not how it works and why I run a LEGO blog instead of a large company.

LEGO Ranks #6 on Fast Company’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies Consumer Electronics List

Fast Company has released their list of the 2018 edition of the World’s Most Innovative Companies and LEGO was named as the #6 company out of 10 under the Consumer Electronics category. The main reason for that LEGO was honored in this category was because of boosting children’s coding skills by the way of LEGO Boost. LEGO Life, which was launched last year, also contributed to the company being named in the Consumer Electronics category. This app allows children to share their creations online in a safe environment. Check out the press release that LEGO has released regarding the honor.

LEGO Group earns no. 6 spot on list of Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics

NEW YORK (February 20, 2018) – Fast Company today announced its annual ranking of the world’s Most Innovative Companies (MIC) for 2018, honoring leading enterprises and rising newcomers that exemplify the best in business and innovation, which includes the LEGO Group at number six on the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics list. Editors noted that the iconic toy brand made the list for boosting children’s coding skills.

In 2017, the LEGO Group introduced two significant innovations to further bridge the divide between physical and digital play: LEGO® BOOST and LEGO® Life.

LEGO BOOST is a super-charged LEGO set that lets children as young as seven years old bring their LEGO creations to life through a simple, app-based coding language. Embracing a “fun-first” vision, LEGO BOOST empowers children in both the physical and digital creation of

LEGO Recap from New York Toy Fair 2018

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall (75954)

The 2018 New York Toy Fair is now over and there was a lot of LEGO news that came out that you may have missed so here’s a little recap of some of the more notable news items from the event.


LEGO Announces the Return of Harry Potter

Probably the biggest thing that LEGO announced during the Toy Fair was the return of Harry Potter in a new LEGO Wizarding World theme that encompasses both the Harry Potter universe as well as Fantastic Beasts. The first set that was revealed in this theme was the Hogwarts Great Hall (75954) which retails for a modest $99.99 for a 878 piece set. This set along with the rest of the wave will be available starting in August.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall (75954)


LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Officially Revealed

The official images of all the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets were revealed, minus the Walmart exclusive LEGO BrickHeadz sets. Here we get to see some of the new dinosaurs that will appear in the movie in LEGO form such as the Stygimoloch, Carnotaurus, and the Indoraptor.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Indoraptor Rampage at Lockwood Estate (75930)


LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) Officially Announced

Some fans already knew about this set as it was already available in some Asian countries but during the Toy Fair, LEGO revealed The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105). The set has 1,363 pieces and retails for $119.99. It will be available starting on March 3 along with the rest of the Infinity War sets.

It is one of the two Ford that will be releasing in this wave. I don’t have the piece count because this is the European version of the set and it will probably retail for $14.99.

Update 2: It looks like they’re coming back in stock in small batches.

New LEGO BrickHeadz Sets Rumored for 2018

At the 2018 New York Toy Fair, we finally got to see the newly revealed Go Brick Me (41597) coming in April but there’s also a new LEGO BrickHeadz rumor that I did not hear about until today. It looks like the LEGO BrickHeadz theme will be expanding to more licenses with some of their upcoming products.

According to Falconfan1414 over on Eurobricks, it seems that there are a couple of more BrickHeadz for Justice League as there will be one for Tactical Batman and Superman coming in May as a two pack for $20. The designs of the BrickHeadz will be similar to the suits in the Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack (76087).

In addition, there will be a Back to the Future Marty McFly & Doc Brown set coming in May for $20 as well. If this rumor is true, it’s nice to see that LEGO is again utilizing the BTTF license they had for the LEGO CUUSOO and Dimensions sets.

Finally, there will also be a two pack Minecraft BrickHeadz set coming in August featuring Steve and the Creeper. It’ll be interesting to see how the legs of the Creeper will be recreated in the BrickHeadz form.

As always, these are just rumors until LEGO announces them or they show up early at online retailers.

LEGO Friends 2018 Pods Official Images

LEGO Friends Olivia's Satellite Pod (853774)

A few days ago, an image of some new LEGO Friends Pods showed up online and it looks like we’ll be able to get them off Shop@Home pretty soon. LEGO has listed five new Friends Pods that will be available starting on March 1 for $8.99 each.

LEGO City Hot Dog Stand (30356) Available at Target

LEGO City Hot Dog Stand (30356)

Valentine’s Day is over and that means that Target has pretty much changed over to the Easter layout which means new polybags are now available here in the US. The only new one I’ve found so far is the LEGO City Hot Dog Stand (30356) for $3.99 each but there’s still the older LEGO Creator Cute Pug (30542) as well. The Hot Dog Stand was first available in the EU last month during a Shop@Home promotion. It’s a good addition in any City layout and the most interesting parts for me are the larger wheels which are still fairly rare.

LEGO Star Wars Solo: A Star Wars Story Character Posters

LEGO Star Wars Solo: A Star Wars Story

A few weeks ago, Star Wars revealed some new teaser character posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story and today, LEGO recreated those same posters in their own unique way, in LEGO form of course. The vintage looking posters show a young Han Solo along with Chewbacca, Qi’Ra, and Lando Calrissian with a small image of the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon being chased by some TIE Fighters. Hopefully LEGO releases these posters as a promotional item similar to The LEGO Batman Movie ones.

The LEGO Star Wars Solo: A Star Wars Story sets come out this April and we’ll probably start seeing the rest of the sets most likely next month. That’s if they don’t show up earlier at some online retailers sooner than that.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) Revealed

Yesterday at the New York Toy Fair, we saw a few new products coming down the pipeline but the most interesting one to me that I want to feature is the new LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597). You basically have the mascot of the BrickHeadz line, Nonnie, as well as a number of parts to customize it to your liking.

Coming in at 708 pieces and only retailing for $29.99, this set is a great deal and an even better one if you’re just buying it for a parts pack. As you can see from the image below, there are a number of different parts ranging in a variety of colors. Some of the more interesting parts are the new elements for glasses which includes round and square eyeglass frames. There’s also a sticker sheet to give more detailing to your BrickHeadz as well.

Thanks to BZPower and Zusammengebaut for providing the images.

LEGO Wins Three Awards at 2018 Toy of the Year Awards Gala

The 2018 Toy of the Year winners were announced yesterday just ahead of the New York Toy Fair and I’m happy to say that LEGO wins big again this year. LEGO was nominated in five categories this year including:

Collectible of the Year – The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017)

Construction Toy of the Year – LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) / LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean The Silent Mary (71042)

Creative Toy of the Year – LEGO Make Your Own Movie

Specialty Toy of The Year – LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

Tech Toy of the Year – LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox (17101)


LEGO picked up three awards last night for LEGO Star Wars BB-8 as the Construction Toy of the Year, LEGO Boost for Tech Toy of the Year, and the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon for the Specialty Toy of the Year. This is the second year in a row that LEGO has won for Construction and Specialty Toy of the Year.

With some of the new LEGO products coming out this year, I’m sure we’ll be seeing LEGO again on the ballot in a few categories and they have a great chance for the coveted Toy of the Year award.

LEGO Unikitty! Sets Announced for August Release

LEGO Unikitty!

LEGO has officially announced that we’ll be getting some LEGO Unikitty! sets as well as a collectible series this August based on the Cartoon Network animated series.

The sets are numbered from 41451-41455 and the collectible series is 41775. Note that it doesn’t say “collectible minifigure series” so perhaps they are the rumored Mixel type builds for each of the characters in the show.

Nothing more is known at this time as they were not shown off at the 2018 New York Toy Fair. It is possible that we’ll most likely see them at San Diego Comic Con in a few months.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) Review

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235)

The Chinese Lunar New Year kicks off this Friday, February 16 and it is a very important holiday for the countries that celebrate it around the world. According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2018 is the Year of the Dog and to celebrate LEGO will be releasing the Year of the Dog (40235) set with purchases of $88 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home starting this Friday. If you think the purchase requirement seems a little off, that is because the number 8 in the Chinese culture is considered very lucky and $88 signifies double joy/prosperity. This also marks the first time in the US that we can get these Year of the Zodiac sets and we don’t have to rely on friends or the secondary market to get it.

The Year of the Dog set is the fourth of these small boxed sets and fifth overall if you count the 4-in-1 Year of the Snake (10250) set from 2013. The box is very cute showing off the Dog and there’s even a space to put a name down for the person you want to gift this set to. The back of the box shows off some of the articulation features of the Dog.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235)

Opening up the flapped box, you are greeted with an envelope along with three un-numbered bags and the instructions.

There’s a new set that has shown up online that has been purchased which is the Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (76108). This is the largest set in the wave and it includes minifigures of Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Iron Spider-Man, and Ebony Maw. There’s also a bigfig of Cull Obsidian, aka Black Dwarf. The building itself is able to fold out to show the details inside the Sanctum Sanctorum along with the apartment building/pizza shop. The pricing of the set is reported to be at 99.99€.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to see the rest of the wave when the New York Toy Fair comes around since the Avengers: Infinity War sets are slated to come out in March.

Thanks to JackieP for emailing this in.

The Billion Brick Race Loses Director

Way back in 2015, I reported that Warner Bros. was working on a new animated LEGO film called The Billion Brick Race. Originally, Jason Segel and Drew Pearce were on board to co-direct the film but was eventually replaced with The Book of Life’s Jorge R. Gutierrez in 2017. Fast forward to today where Gutierrez has announced that he has also left the project.

“I would like to publicly and from the bottom of my heart thank everyone I worked with at Briksburg, LEGO and WAG. These last 9 months were a rollercoaster of thrills to say the least. I met so many amazing new people and learned a ton from all these incredible artists, directors, writers, editors, producers and execs. I leave a better filmmaker and it’s because of you all. May our paths cross again. Gracias mis amigos. And as I toasted on my first day there, ‘May we slip n slide on the blood of our enemies!!!'”

The Billion Brick Race is still tentatively scheduled for a 2019 release which also includes The LEGO Movie Sequel releasing in the same year. There’s no word from Warner Bros. whether or not any of the two movies will be pushed back at this time.

LEGO 30499 Polybag Now Available at Walmart

LEGO 30499

If you’re in the US and are looking for the LEGO 30499 polybag, Walmart may be the place you need to head to. It seems that various Walmart locations are now stocking the polybag. It can also be found at LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers as well. As for the set itself, it’s basically just a bunch of random parts for a free build. There are also instructions to create the models shown on the front of the polybag. It’s nothing too spectacular but polybag collectors will probably want to pick it up.

Thanks to Kelly for the heads up.

Ford Takes a Look at the LEGO Speed Champions Mustang Fastback

LEGO Speed Champions Mustang Fastback (75884)

The new 2018 wave of the LEGO Speed Champions sets will be coming out very soon and Ford has released a press release for their 1968 Mustang Fastback. This set will join five other sets in the wave and we’ll be taking a look at all of these sets when they become available.

LEGO Speed Champions Mustang Fastback (75884)

Ford and LEGO® are celebrating Ford’s heritage by adding a 1968 Mustang fastback race car to the LEGO Speed Champions lineup.

As a tribute to America’s favorite sports car, the 183-piece Ford Mustang kit features green bodywork with gold dual stripes and wheels, race graphic stickers, removable windscreen and a mini-figure driver wearing a classic racing suit. For added fun, the race car set includes a Ford-branded timing board.

“The new Ford Mustang LEGO Speed Champions set gives parents and children the chance to share their passions – generations of fans have grown up building LEGO sets and spending time together behind the wheel,” said Myra Lind, LEGO Speed Champions marketing manager. “This partnership of iconic brands allows kids of all ages to enjoy the latest products from two great companies.”

As a natural fit for the new 2018 Mustang launch – the most personalized Mustang ever – Ford’s Design and Licensing teams worked closely with LEGO to create a 1968 Mustang fastback race car set that speaks to the passion, creativity and personalization pony car fans will appreciate.

“We worked closely with LEGO to design a vintage Mustang, personalizing the fastback with stripes and decals that harken back to Ford’s racing heritage,”

Post Your Entries for the LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Contest

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space

Yesterday, I reported that the crowd voting stage for the LEGO Ideas Moments in Space contest was underway. This stage is to find the top 25 entries out of a whopping 1,065 entries who participated. I’ve been asked by readers a few times already to feature their entries. While I can’t feature every single one, I’ll allow participants to leave a comment below to show off their own builds.

You may have noticed on each entry page that it doesn’t show the voes even though you have voted on a particular entry. According Hasan in the LEGO Ambassador Network, “The votes are intentionally hidden for this phase and will be revealed at the end of the contest.” This allows a level playing field since nobody knows how many votes an entry has gained. This also makes the whole thing a popularity contest to find the top 25 entries. I suggest using the filters to find which entries have the most discussions to gauge what is popular at the moment for the contest.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War Sets Found in the Wild

It looks like we have our first look at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War sets which comes from an overseas toy shop. There are two sets that are on sale there, the Outrider Dropship Attack (76101) and The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (76104).

As we can see, the Outrider Dropship Attack includes minifigures of Captain America, Black Widow, and an Outrider. The Hulkbuster Smash-Up has minifigures of Bruce Banner, Falcon, Proxima Midnight, and an Outrider.

Note that the prices on the sets are probably in Singapore Dollar and not in USD. In addition to these sets, there are supposed to be four more sets in the wave. Now that the LEGO Infinity War sets are now being sold, hopefully we’ll get to see the official images of the sets soon.

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Crowd Vote Stage

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Walmart Exclusive Truck (4000030) Now Available

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Walmart Exclusive Truck (4000030)

In a surprise, the Walmart exclusive LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Truck (4000030) is now available for purchase on Walmart.com. The reason for the surprise is that it is now available at 12am EST which is about twelve hours before the other sets were released on their respective dates. Like with the previous anniversary sets, this one will also go for $19.97 each and you can either have it shipped to your location or you can pick it up at your preferred store. You can also combine it with the LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) set to get over the free shipping threshold. This is the last of the Walmart LEGO 60th Anniversary series of sets that will be available.

As tradition at the beginning of the year, LEGO releases a new modular building and for 2018, we have the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260). I’ve read many comments saying that it is a substantial change from the architectural style we’ve had before but there are also fans that welcome the change as it is different from what we’ve previously gotten.

LEGO Marvel Thor: Ragnarok Sales on Amazon

While we wait for Black Panther to hit theaters next week, there are some LEGO sales on the previous Marvel movie, Thor: Ragnarok. Both sets that came out for the movie are currently at least 20% off the retail price. The Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash (76088) is pirced at $44.99 which is 25% off and it at a more reasonable price considering we get a few exclusive minifigures including the Hulk bigfig.

The other Thor: Ragnarok set that is on sale is the Ultimate Battle for Asgard (76084) which goes for $38.49. This set also has some exclusive minifigs along with the Fenris build.

LEGO Classic Walmart 60th Anniversary Sets Limited to 5000 Each (Update)

The two exclusive limited edition LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary sets from Walmart that have been released so far have been a hit or a miss for fans as they don’t seem to be worth the cost of the sets however that doesn’t stop people from purchasing them. If you’ve already received your sets already, you may have noticed that there is a numbered sticker on them to signify the limited quantities for them and it looks like we now know how many of the sets were produced and it’s not that many.

According to an image shown on Reddit, LEGO customer service has confirmed there are only 5,000 of each of the three sets and there will be no more produced after this run. This means that if you weren’t able to get them when they are released on the first day, you’re probably out of luck unless you turn to the secondary market where flippers are basically selling them for double the retail price.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

As for the sets themselves, you’re most likely buying them for collectability reasons and not to build them as you can probably recreate them using the LEGO parts from your collection. I’m still waiting for my sets to come in as I had a scare when Walmart told me they were backordered but it seems they both shipped out yesterday. The last set is the Truck (4000030) and will be available in a few days.

Update: I’ve personally emailed LEGO customer … Continue

Could We Be Getting a Classic LEGO Jurassic Park Set?

We already know that we’ll be getting some LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets this April but will we also be getting a classic Jurassic Park set as well? There’s rumors going around that we could possibly get a set or sets that will include minifigures of Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, Tim, and Lex Murphy. There’s also talks about a new Dilophosaurus figure that is different from the than the Dilophosaurus Ambush (75916) from 2015. One could assume that this set could be the iconic green and yellow Ford Explorer as seen in Jurassic Park.

Of course this is just pure speculation and none of it could be true at all until LEGO announces something in the future. Even though this is just conjecture, it’s cool to talk about what we could be getting if LEGO does decide to come out with a classic Jurassic Park line. What would you like to see come out?

In the image, seen above, it shows the Carnotaurus peeking through some branches. It will be in set 75929 which hopefully will be shown off at the New York Toy Fair later this month. If you’re not sure what the Carnotaurus is, it was seen in the trailer for a little bit before meeting its demise to the T-Rex shortly after.

LEGO Star Wars Summer 2018 Set Details

Late last year, I reported on some rumors for the summer 2018 wave of LEGO Star Wars sets and it looks like they have been confirmed by Promobricks.

60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) Sold Out on Shop@Home

If you’ve been holding out on getting the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290), your luck has probably ran out. After about four days, the set is now sold out on Shop@Home at least here in the US. The promotion has now been replaced with last month’s LEGO City Dragster with a purchase of $35 or more. As predicted before the promo started, I figured this set would be very popular with the fans as it has a nostalgic vibe to it.

There may still be some LEGO Brand Stores that may still have them available so your best chance is to call them up directly and see if they do indeed have them. Other than that, your best bet to get it is on the secondary market which isn’t cheap by any means or if you have some very good friends.

One other thing to note is that both items are soon to be retired so if they offer it in stores, you might not be able to find them.

There will be an upcoming LEGO DC Comic Super Heroes set coming out this summer that will be unlike any set that we’ve seen before in this theme. According to Zusammengebaut, it looks like we’ll be getting a LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile (76112) which is reported to use the new Power Functions 2.0 that was revealed at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair. This set will make use of a smartphone or a tablet to operate the Batmobile by the way of Bluetooth. The cost of the set is said to be at a 99.99 Euros price point with a August release.

Note: Image above is not the design style of the App-Controlled Batmobile.

LEGO Unikitty! Minifigure Series Confirmed for August

LEGO Unikitty!

It looks like the rumors of a LEGO Unikitty! Minifigure (41775) blind bags were indeed true. Zusammengebaut has reported that there will be a series of minifigures that will be for the Unikitty! animated show on Cartoon Network. This series would be coming in August and there will be twelve Unikitty minifigures to collect. I’m not sure if this means that there are twelve variants of Unikitty or twelve different characters from the Unikitty show. If it is the former, this series will be harder to feel for because Unikitty pretty much has the same body type and the only distinguishing features would be the accessories if she has any. The early rumor also stated that this series could also be a Mixels-type series so we’ll see if it just minifigures or the buildable type. Either way, I’m pretty excited to see what this series will consist of when the official images are released this summer.

LEGO Nexo Knights Coming to an End

LEGO Nexo Knights

The LEGO Nexo Knights theme was launched in 2016 as a futuristic castle adventure theme with bright, sharp colors. For two years, it has given fans an interesting assortment of sets and it looks like it will be ending with the latest wave of sets. Zusammengebaut at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair has confirmed that there will be no summer sets planned for LEGO Nexo Knights and this usually means that the theme will be coming to a sad end.

Everything comes to end in one way or another, especially with original LEGO IPs which have about a two year lifespan, LEGO Ninjago being the main exception. To see this theme ending the way it is now is a little disappointing because there was no promotion for it. The official images didn’t come out until long after the other themes were out and the sets basically just showed up in stores. It had lots of potential but apparently it didn’t meet LEGO’s expectations as far as sales goes. It seemed somewhat popular with the younger audience and even the panel at SDCC a few years ago was packed with kids who wanted more of the Nexo Knights story.

With LEGO Nexo Knights ending, it looks like there won’t be another castle type theme for a few years because LEGO likes to rotate themes so what do you want to see take its place? I, for one, am looking forward to another sci-fi space type theme. What about you?

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) to be Redesigned

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038)

Last week, we got the official box art image of the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) set which was delayed in its release. That box art will no longer be used and there’s some new information from Promobricks at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair that the set has now been pushed back to a fall release. This is because the set will be redesigned to remove the Mandalay Bay Hotel and replace it with another building due to the events that happened at the hotel last year.

What building would you like to see replace the Mandalay Bay Hotel in the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21308) set?

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657) “Confirmed” at Nuremberg Toy Fair

It has been pretty much confirmed at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair that there will be a The LEGO Ninjago Movie direct-to-consumer set featuring the Ninjago City Docks (70657) coming this summer. This set was rumored late last year and according to the notes by Zusammengebaut, you can connect the docks to the current Ninjago City (70620) by the way of some Technic pins. There’s no word on pricing but it was rumored to be at a $299.99 price point.

LEGO Architecture 2018 Set News from Nuremberg Toy Fair

There is some new information about some upcoming summer 2018 LEGO Architecture sets that have come out of the Nuremberg Toy Fair. Zusammengebaut is reporting on some hand written notes that there are two sets coming this summer, the Great Wall of China (21041) which will have 551 pieces and cost 49.99 Euros and the Statue of Liberty (21042) will have 1,685 pieces and cost 99.99 Euros.

The reason of the notes and not images of the set is because LEGO has been showing off limited sets and has restricted photography but nobody said note taking was not allowed. As for the sets themselves, I’m very curious to see how LEGO will recreate these two iconic structures.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Revealed at 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair

Is the LEGO Black VIP Card Promotion Continuing?

LEGO Black VIP Card

The last time I’ve talked about the LEGO Black VIP card was a few weeks ago where I stated that a new batch of cards are being created due to a glitch in the system and now, there’s a new revelation about how to acquire the card. The original deadline to get the card was December 31, 2017 so technically you can’t get it anymore even if you have purchased the set this year but that could be changing according some information that I’ve received.

A reader named Tim purchased the UCS Falcon this past weekend at a New York LEGO Brand Store and the manager there told him that LEGO would be continuing the Black VIP card promotion that ended last year. Tim was then told to verify his LEGO VIP address because he’ll also be getting it as well even though the deadline has passed.

I’m not sure if this is just an isolated incident or if LEGO is actually continuing the Black VIP card promotion. I would suggest asking LEGO customer service before making your purchase to see if they are actually continuing it since the webpage about it still has the old information. Even if you’ve made a purchase of the Falcon this year, it wouldn’t hurt to ask customer service to see what’s going on.

Let us know in the comments below if you’ve had the same situation and also have been told that the Black VIP card promotion would be continuing.

LEGO Star Wars Ahch-To Island Training (75200) Designer Video

In something slightly unusual for LEGO to do, they have recently released a designer video for the LEGO Star Wars Ahch-To Island Training (75200). This is different because it is not a direct-to-consumer set that usually does it for but just a simple set that you get purchase at any retailer. The video also goes back to the old style where the designer, César, talks more about the set itself and its play features. This is something that fans have missed on the newer designer videos. Hopefully, LEGO continues to do designer videos for these smaller sets like this in the future. I’ve recently done a review of this set if you want to check it out as well.

Currently, the set is not available online yet and the employees at the store do not know about it yet either. I’ve been told that they might be available starting on Monday but we’ll see. I’ll be heading to my closest store to see if they’re available and report back after. If not, I’ll keep tabs for the online set and let you know when that goes live.

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) Unboxing

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313)

The LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) will be released later this week unless you were able to get it early yesterday at the Fashion Place LEGO Store signing event. LEGO was kind enough to send us an early copy of the set and here’s a short unboxing of it since many of you are curious of what it consists of.

The packaging is nicely detailed with a very nautical design. On the side of the box, there’s a large kraken chasing down the ship in the bottle. Like with the packaging for the recent previous LEGO Ideas sets, the box has the lift up flap to reveal the contents.

When you open up the box, you are greeted with seven bags numbered 1-4 along with four large trans-clear window pieces and the instruction booklet. As far as I remember, this is the second set that I’ve personally build that had the exact same parts in same bags, referring to the 1×1 trans-blue studs.

Celebrating 60 Years of the LEGO Brick

LEGO 60th Anniversary

Sixty years ago, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen submitted a patent application for a simple toy building brick. It wouldn’t get approved until a couple of months later and unbeknownst to him, this toy brick would eventually lead the company to becoming one of the most recognizable toys in the world as well as becoming the biggest toymaker in the world. It took some trial and error but the modern brick design that we know and love wouldn’t be developed for a few more years and hasn’t changed that much since then. Today, we celebrate sixty years of the LEGO brick and hopefully for many more years to come!

LEGO Brick Patent

60 years ago, the simple idea of adding tubes inside a plastic brick turned into one of the most exciting and influential toys in the world – the LEGO® brick.

Since then, LEGO play has been about the joy of building and giving every child the chance to shape their own world through inventive play.

“LEGO play is powered by imagination and curiosity, and the LEGO brick is at the very heart of it – putting the bricks together and taking them apart over and over, with imagination as your only limit. This helps young minds to stay open, keep exploring and develop skills essential for the 21st century*, such as creativity, collaboration and problem solving,” said Julia Goldin, Chief Marketing Officer, the LEGO Group.

The LEGO Group began producing a plastic brick in 1949, but it was not until nine years later, in 1958, that the LEGO brick

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season 2 DVD Available on March 13

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season 2

It has been revealed today that Season Two of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures will be on home media on March 13. The DVD will include all 12 episodes as well as 5 bonus shorts. For you pin collectors, there is also an exclusive LEGO Darth Vader pin to go along with it as well. You can now pre-order the DVD on Amazon for $18 and you’ll receive it on release date.

At the end of the first season, the Freemaker family found a new home with the rebel fleet. Their new circumstances bring them face to face with brutal Imperial forces, desperate Hutts, conniving Sith Lords, and the Emperor’s latest plaything, M-OC, a terrifying hunter droid who continually modifies himself to fit any occasion. In response to these threats, Rowan’s powers grow and strengthen until he has a vision of a sleek, invulnerable ship that can save the Rebellion and stop the Empire in its tracks — the Arrowhead. The catch is, the Arrowhead is a ship only Rowan can build. Once again, it’s up to the youngest Freemaker to save the galaxy.

10 Foot Brick in New York to Celebrate LEGO 60th Anniversary

Earlier today, LEGO revealed a large-scale model of a red 2×4 brick that is located at the Flatiron District in New York City to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick. The model consists of 133,000 bricks, weighs 1,200 pounds, and took about 350 hours to construct. The 10-foot 2×4 will be at the Flatiron Plaza at the corner of Fifth Avenue, 23rd Street and Broadway, at Madison Square Park and will be there until 4pm Sunday, January 28.

LEGO is going all out with their marketing for the 60th anniversary celebration. Yesterday, it was revealed there will be some Walmart exclusive 60th anniversary LEGO sets that are reported to be available starting on Sunday as well. Check out the time-lapse video of the construction of the 2×4 brick below.

Hammers pounding, saws cutting and drills buzzing were some of the sounds heard by the media in front of LEGOLAND® Castle Hotel at LEGOLAND® California Resort as Merlin the wizard unraveled his scroll officially declaring the Hotel’s opening day: April 27, 2018. LEGOLAND® California’s General Manager Peter Ronchetti and LEGOLAND® Hotel Manager Frank Idris also addressed the crowd providing Resort updates and new details about North America’s first LEGOLAND Castle Hotel.

“It’s hard to imagine that just five years ago we were standing on a construction site just like this announcing North America’s first LEGOLAND Hotel which has proven to be extremely popular with our guests,” said Idris. “In fact, it was just named one of Trip Advisor’s top 25 Hotels for families in the United States! And, we achieved our goal of becoming the first hotel in Carlsbad to achieve the Environmentalist level from the California Green Lodging Association thanks to all of the additional conservation efforts that were implemented this past year.“

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) Review

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249)

It was only a few days ago that we saw the official image of the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5005249) minifigure and today we have a set in hand for an early review courtesy of BrickVibe. The minifigure follows a number of minifigures in this small promotional type box that we’ve seen before previously with the Easter Chicken (5004468), Gingerbread Man, and a larger Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936). At this time, there is no information on how it will be available at retail stores. All of the previous sets were available on LEGO Shop@Home at one point in time so it might show up on there sometime in the future.

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249)


There is a sleeve that comes off to show the details of the box. It shows a little house that is printed with some LEGO style flowers on the front and some egg painting on the back. The door opens up by punching out the perforation to reveal the Easter Bunny Guy who sits in a black container mold.

For the Easter Bunny Guy, he wears a light blue suit with a green striped shirt and a yellow bow tie. There’s also some partial printing of a bunny on the lower part of the torso. This is more clear with the printing of a bunny tail on the back of the torso. The legs are plain white to resemble the bunny legs.

First Look at Some Rumored Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures

We’ve already reported on a rumored list of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures and it looks like Croatian toy store Dexy Co Kids has given us a first look at a couple of these minifigures. Over on their promotional scroller on the homepage, there are a couple of minifigures shown that match up to some of the rumored ones that are coming out including the Red Suit Brick Guy, the Blue Brick Girl, the Cowboy Suit Guy, and the Orange Balloon LEGO Fan Boy. These aren’t the official names of the characters but they do describe what they look like. It is reported that Series 18 will be released in April.

Toys R Us Will Close 180 Stores Across the US

As reported back in September, Toys R Us filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and today they have announced that they will be shutting down 180 stores around the country. The closings will start at the beginning of February and will last until the middle of April. It has been noted that the 83 locations in Canada won’t be part of the closings. There are about 880 stores, including Babies R Us, and it’ll be about one-fifth of the total stores closing.

This will make it a little harder to find some Toys R Us LEGO exclusives for some people which is a bummer. I see that there are three locations around the San Diego area that are shutting down, one of which is expected but the other two are surprising.

You can read the full list of TRU/BRU stores closing below:

One of the my favorite smaller sets is the Robo Explorer (31062) which is now at $15.99. I absolutely love the color scheme on this set.

Another set that I really like from this group is the Space Shuttle Explorer (31066) which is now at $23.99. I might have to pick up another one or two of this one to display them in their alternate builds.

Finally, we have the smallest set of this group which is the Mighty Dinosaurs (31058) which is going for only $11.99.

LEGO Downtown Cars Showroom Modular MOC

The LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) has been out for a few weeks now and fans have already taken liberty to modify their sets into their own. One of these builders is Brickdance9 who has changed the Diner into a Downtown Cars showroom. The set only uses parts from the Diner, minus the Mercedes AMG GT3 (75877) that is on the second level. This is a very ingenious way of using an existing large-scale set and changing it into something unique which I’ve been seeing more and more lately online.

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) Side-by-Side Look

As we know by now, the LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) will be on store shelves on February 1. I’ve already done a comparison post showing some of the differences between Jake Sadovich’s model against the official set which he received a few days ago and pictures speak louder than words. He has posted a side-by-side look over on the AFOLs of Facebook page and we can easily see the differences between the two. Jake has even stated that the official set is “more user friendly than the original” which is reassuring for those who are on the fence about getting it.

Is a LEGO Star Wars UCS Cloud City Set Coming Soon?

Earlier today, LEGO announced that no projects passed the LEGO Ideas Second 2017 Review Stage. LEGO gave a pretty thorough explanation of some of the criteria they look at to see if a project meets that requirement. One of the criteria listed was New (and confidential) products currently being developed internally. Hasan also talked about it a little more in the video below and at 2:20, he says something that’s censored out.

If a project, let’s call it “X,” is not approved in the review because it is too similar to a product that’s been developed internally, then naturually we wouldn’t be able to share that news with everyone that “X” has not been approved due to the giant (bleep) that’s coming out.

Hasan also says the censored words again at 2:29 as the camera zooms in a little. I don’t know about you but these are major hints at something that’s coming out soon. If you look at the projects that qualified for review, one of the projects is I Am Your Father which is the scene where Darth Vader reveals to Luke Skywalker that he is his father. Now going back to the video, to me it appears that Hasan says either “Bespin City” or “Bespin set” and it has been rumored that there is a D2C set (75222) that is reported to be the UCS Cloud City. Given that the project scene is from Cloud City, I would say that it matches up nicely.

Whether or not there is a Bespin set coming … Continue

LEGO Ideas Second 2017 Review Stage Winner Announced

LEGO has just announced the latest winner of the LEGO Ideas Second 2017 Review Stage. There were six projects that qualified for the review and the winner is…nobody. I could be wrong but as far as I remember, this is the second time that no projects have passed a review stage with the first one being the First 2015 Review Stage. The review board takes into account various factors on whether or not a project passes including:

– Products currently available in stores
– New (and confidential) products currently being developed internally
– Licensing possibilities and conflicts
– Production capacity
– Build quality
– Feasibility
– Playability
– Expected demand
– Brand fit

You can read more about the explanations of each category in the link above. If you watch the video below of Hasan giving a brief explanation, you can see a hint of a future set that’s coming out that has been bleeped out at 2:20. If any mouth readers can tell what he said, let us know in the comments below.

The Third 2017 Review Stage is well underway and those results will be announced this summer. The projects that qualify for the review are included in the image below.

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Buildable Figure Sales on Amazon

For even more LEGO deals from Amazon, there are some new 2018 Star Wars Buildable Figures that you may be interested in picking up. One of the more notable sets that is on sale is Boba Fett (75533). It is going for $23.99 which is 20% off the regular price. As of this writing, there are only 13 left of this set available at this price.

Darth Vader (75534) is also on sale with it going for $31.99. It is still a little expensive for what you get, even at 20% off, but it’s better than the regular price of $39.99.

Next up is the Elite Praetorian Guard (75529) which is only $20, also 20% off the normal price. You may need a few of these guys to recreate the scene from Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Finally, we have everyone’s favorite Wookiee, Chewbacca (75530). He is actually only 19% off coming in at $28.49. Again, he’s a bit more expensive but he is also a larger Buildable Figure.

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) Official Image

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249)

Late last year, an image of the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter 2018 (5005249) surfaced online and now we have the official image of the set. Brickshop.nl has listed the set available starting in March but we’ll see if there is a promotion for it on Shop@Home when the March Store Calendar is available in a few weeks. The set basically consists of a minifigure with a new torso and a pair of bunny ears along with a paintbrush and an egg as accessories. Like before, the minifigure will come in a cardboard box.

For last year’s Iconic Easter (5004468) set, it was originally available for purchase at Toys R Us at the end of February and subsequently a promo at TRU. It eventually became an unannounced promotion on Shop@Home which only lasted for a few days.

I’ll let you guys know when it will become available and at what retailer as soon as there’s news about it.

LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) Sale on Shop@Home and Amazon

A lot of you readers have appreciated the daily LEGO Amazon sales that has been going on for the past week and here’s one that may or may not interest you but it is at a great deal on Shop@Home. The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) is currently at $188.99 which is the lowest it has been on Shop@Home. This is 30% off the regular price of $269.99 and is a very good deal if you don’t have the set yet. The Batcave has already been sold out/retired in certain markets around the world but there’s still some stock here in the US. Amazon also has the set on sale for $205.97 which is 24% off and it is the second lowest price point it has been on Amazon.

You can read my review of the set if you’re still on the fence about picking it up.

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) Official Image

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038)

Last night, I reported on some of the details for the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) skyline set and now we have the official image of the set courtesy of Promobricks. As I mentioned before, the set will consist of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the Luxor Hotel, the Encore Hotel, the Stratosphere Tower, and the Fremont Street Experience. As far as the building choices are concerned, I feel there are much more iconic buildings that LEGO could have used and there are too many to list off.

The set will have 487 pieces and retail for €39.99 and it also includes a printed 1×2 tile of the Welcome to the Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada sign as well as the 1×8 tile of the set. The release date is still up in the air due to the events at the Mandalay Bay last year causing it to be delayed. I’ll let you know when it becomes available.

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038) Set Details

The first wave of the 2018 LEGO Architecture sets was supposed to consist of two sets Las Vegas (21038) Shanghai (21039) but for whatever reason, the Vegas set was delayed. There hasn’t been much information about the set until now courtesy of Promobricks. According to a German eBay pre-order listing, Las Vegas will consist of 487 pieces and the buildings in the Skyline layout will include the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the Luxor Las Vegas Hotel, the Encore Las Vegas Hotel, the Stratosphere Tower, and the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

The pricing of it is €39.99 so it’ll probably be $39.99 when it is released here in the US. The listing shows that it will be available at the end of January but I’ve heard that it won’t be out until the spring or possibly this summer. Either way, we’re still holding out for the official images of the LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21038).

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes 2018 Set Sales on Amazon

Almost everyday so far this week, there are sales over on Amazon on some 2018 LEGO sets. For today, I’ve found that there are some of the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that are 20% off the regular price. The Superman & Krypto Team-up (76096) is at $15.99 and it comes with some new minifigures including Lobo and Krypto.

The other 2018 LEGO DC set that is on sale is the Speed Force Freeze Pursuit (76098). All of the minifigures in this set are exclusive including the Flash, Reverse Flash, Cyborg, and Killer Frost. At this price, the set is more attractive as it also has a pretty sleek helicopter build to go with it.

There is currently no sale yet on the Lex Luthor Mech Takedown (76097) as it is still at the regular price of $39.99.

The LEGO Batman Movie 2018 Set Sales on Amazon

Continuing with some of the sales that Amazon has on some 2018 LEGO sets, it looks like they now have a sale on a couple of the new The LEGO Batman Movie sets. The sets that I am referring to are The Bat-Dune Buggy (70918) and the Egghead Mech Food Fight (70920). Both sets now have the 20% off sale with Prime shipping which makes the Buggy come in at $15.99 while the Egghead Mech is at $23.99. The Justice League Anniversary Party (70919) is also on sale but you only get $2.05 off which isn’t a good sale yet.

LEGO at the 2018 New York Toy Fair

The New York Toy Fair is happening next month and there’s some details about the LEGO booth that you should need to know before you get your hopes up about seeing the summer 2018 LEGO sets. Various media outlets have receieved their emails for the LEGO “Save the Date” preview party, including one of my contacts, and according to the email, LEGO will not be displaying any of the summer 2018 product lineup. This means there will be nothing for the 2018 second half sets (after June releases) which is a disappointment because it is something that fans really look forward to at this time of the year.

However, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything on display at the LEGO booth. We can probably look forward to the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets and the LEGO Star Wars Solo sets because they’ll be out before June. Other than that, there isn’t really anything else of importance since we’ve pretty much seen everything already that is set to be released in March-May besides LEGO Speed Champions. I don’t see them listed on the February 2018 Store Calendar so they’re probably spring releases.

This little detail about the 2018 New York Toy Fair comes to light a few days after it was revealed that LEGO won’t be at the London Toy Fair and will be somewhat restricted at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. I’m not sure why LEGO decided to change up the things at this year’s toy fairs but it’s a little saddening … Continue

LEGO Ideas Embraer A-29 Super Tucano Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Embraer A-29 Super Tucano (Smoke Squadron) by Alex Paschoaletto is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project wasn’t really on the top supported projects list until the beginning of the year when some high profile social media accounts picked it up including the Brazilian Air Force and Aviões e Músicas. As for the project itself, the build is the Brazilian Air Force’s Embraer A-29 Super Tucano and it has some features including a retractable landing gear, moveable rudder and flaps, as well as a removable canopy. The overall build consists of about 400 pieces and is 1:39 scale. It is the first project to reach the First 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO Star Wars First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) Amazon Sale

A few days ago, I reported on some LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack sales on Amazon but it left off one of the newer 2018 ones from the sale. It looks like that has been remedied as the First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) is now also on sale for $11.99 each. This set includes a First Order Gunner, First Order Shuttle Pilot, and 2 First Order Stormtroopers to grow your army. The Stormtroopers are the exclusive minifigures in this set.

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) Signing Event

LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313)

As with some of the recent LEGO Ideas sets that have been recently released, LEGO likes to hold signing events with the sets’ respective designer. LEGO has announced there will be an event that will be held for the upcoming Ship in a Bottle (21313) which will be held at the Fashion Place LEGO Brand Store at Murray, Utah on Saturday, January 27 at 10am-1pm MST. There, you’ll be able to meet Jacob Sadovich, who came up with the design on LEGO Ideas, as well as have your set signed by him as well. Plus, you’ll be getting the set a little early as it is scheduled to be released on February 1.

LEGO Black VIP Card Shipping Clarification

LEGO Black VIP Card

If you’ve purchased the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) before December 31, 2017, you will be eventually getting the black VIP card if you’ve haven’t already. I’ve gotten an update for a reader who emailed in about their experience with LEGO Customer Service about his situation.

It appears there was a glitch in their system with VIPs who have opted out or never consented to physical mailings and their cards weren’t created with the original batch that went out last year. LEGO has since created a new list for those particular VIPs and their cards will be sent out soon.

Also, the rep also stated that any upcoming special promotions that goes with the black VIP card are attached to the VIP account and you don’t actually need to have the physical card on hand. This info is very helpful because I’ve had a lot of questions come in about it.

Hopefully this answers the main questions that have been asked by those who have purchased the UCS Falcon and haven’t gotten their cards yet. Again this only applies to those who got it before last year’s deadline and people who ordered the Falcon after the new year restock will not be getting the card. Thanks to David for emailing in about it.

LEGO Star Wars Defense of Crait (75202) Amazon Sale

One of the newer 2018 sets for LEGO Star Wars is the Defense of Crait (75202) from Star Wars: The Last Jedi and you can currently get it on sale on Amazon. The set is at $67.99 which is 20% off the retail price of $84.99. This makes the set a bit more attractive as it is a bit overpriced at the recommended retail price.

This exciting Defense of Crait LEGO® Star Wars toy has everything a Resistance warrior needs to play out the epic final battle from Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The set features a highly detailed Resistance Ski Speeder with spring-loaded shooters, removable engine section, minifigure cockpit and a lowering stabilizer. There’s also a command tower with stud shooter on top and assorted weapons and tool elements, as well as a foldout trench section with rotating laser cannon and spring-loaded shooter, plus a gun emplacement with a stud shooter. Includes 5 minifigures.

LEGO at the 2018 London Toy Fair

One of the more exciting times at the beginning of the year are the upcoming toy fairs and the first one coming up is the London Toy Fair. For many years now, LEGO exhibits the summer line up at the London Toy Fair and we get the first details for various sets and themes. Unfortunately for 2018, it doesn’t look like LEGO will be at the London Toy Fair as they are not listed as one of the exhibitors of the event. This is the first time since I’ve started this site that they won’t be attending.

I’m not sure of the reasoning behind it but the financial results from last year may have contributed to it as the company tries to focus on rebounding in 2018. Another reasoning could be to avoid reporting details of the summer sets but that’s trivial because there are already leaks and it doesn’t look to be stopping any time soon. I remember Huw from Brickset said that LEGO last year was only allowing retailers to the booth.

Whatever the reasoning, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any details of the LEGO summer 2018 sets at London so we’ll have to wait another week for the Nuremberg Toy Fair where we’ll actually get images of the sets. Again, we’ll have to rely on our German friends Promobricks and Zusammengebaut for the details. There’s also the New York Toy Fair in the middle of February and we hope to have someone on the floor for us at that event. I’m … Continue

LEGO Masters Looking for Builders for Series Two

The hit UK show, LEGO Masters, is back for a second series and they are now looking for builders to appear on the show. If you’re not familiar with what LEGO Masters is about, it’s basically a building competition for amateurs and contestants’ builds are judged in a number of categories. One of the judges is LEGO’s Vice President of Design, Matthew Ashton. The only bad news is that you have to be a resident of the UK or Ireland to apply. Now if the US can get a similar show…

Rumored LEGO Harry Potter 2018 Collectible Minifigures List

It looks like there are more rumors coming out for the return of LEGO Harry Potter later this year. As I reported before, it seems there will be a Collectible Minifigures series for the theme and now it appears that there’s a reported list of minifigures of this wave. A majority of characters listed haven’t appeared as minifigure form so that’s nice. This also fits in to the whole Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme that the forums are talking about.

Hermione Granger – Accessories: cloak, wand, book
James Potter – Accessory: Golden Snitch, broom, Quidditch robes

The LEGO Group Announces Partnership with Tencent

The LEGO Group has announced that the company is partnering up with one of China’s biggest tech companies, Tencent, to develop safe digital content and platforms for children in the country. LEGO has been expanding more into the Asian market the past few years and this partnership allows the LEGO and Tencent to create games, videos, and a social media network for children in China. The partnership will look to bring LEGO Life to China as well as publication and operation of the online operation system for LEGO BOOST. This move also allows LEGO to bring brand awareness to China, which unfortunately, is ripe with imitators. Check out the full press release below of LEGO’s partnership with Tencent.

THE LEGO GROUP PARTNERS WITH TENCENT TO EMPOWER CHINESE CHILDREN IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

The partnership will bring safe digital LEGO® experiences to Chinese children and seeks to increase the awareness of digital safety among children and parents in China

LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) Available on Amazon

I’m not sure if the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) is just temporarily sold out or retired on Shop@Home, but there is some stock over on Amazon if you’re still wanting to pick it up. This is probably your final chance to get it because they are already gone from a majority of LEGO Brand Stores and it hasn’t been available for a while on Shop@Home. The Palace Cinema may not be the best modular building according to the survey I ran but it’s one of the more popular ones in the long line of modulars.

LEGO Incredibles 2 and DC Villains Video Game Rumored to be Coming Out

LEGO news has been fairly quiet the past few days but there’s some news on some rumored LEGO video games that is reported to be coming out. As we all know, LEGO Dimensions was officially cancelled late last year and this usually means that some of the employees move on to other new projects. According to ComicBook.com, there is more fuel to add to rumors of the LEGO Incredibles 2 Video Game as they state it is the next LEGO video game to be coming out. We already know that there are some LEGO Incredibles 2 sets that will be coming out later this year so a video game wouldn’t be a huge surprise but it’s nice to have another source report on it. The Incredibles 2 will be in theaters on June 15, 2018 so we can expect the game to release at the same time. This will also mark the first time a Pixar property will become a LEGO game.

Also in the same post, ComicBook.com has also reported that Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is also working on a new LEGO game revolving around DC villains and are referring to the project as “LEGO DC Villains” or “LEGO DC Supervillains.” Unlike before when we’ve gotten LEGO video games based on Batman and the other super heroes being the main focus, this new DC game will feature more of the villains like the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Lex Luthor. Sources have told ComicBook.com that the official title will be given some time over the … Continue

Yesterday, LEGO announced the new LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313) and today we take a look at some of the differences between the official set and the project that was proposed. The original project by Jake Sadovich had about 1,800 pieces with the whole bottle being 15 1/2″ long, 9″ tall, and 7″ wide. The set that is coming out in February is quite smaller with the dimensions of the bottle on the stand being 3″ tall, 12″ wide, and 3″ deep.

The piece count comes in at 962 pieces which is about half of what the project consisted of. Keep in mind that there are over 280 trans-light blue studs used for the water so there are around 682 actual pieces used for the ship and the bottle.

The Leviathan itself is much smaller and does not include any rigging like the original Leviathan had. It looks okay but it doesn’t have the beauty that the submitted one had. I’m sure fans already have plans to modify or change out the ship when the set is released.

The bottle, however, looks better than the original one. The bottle neck and the cork looks great and it wax seal gives it more detailing. I feel the bottle itself look more structually sound using some larger window pieces instead of the 1x4x3 window pieces.

The stand looks similar but the official one has more of a classy and refined look to it. The compass in the middle as more to the depth of the stand … Continue

LEGO to be Featured in The Toys That Made Us

One of the shows I’ve been enjoying on Netflix is the new documentary series, The Toys That Made Us. They’ve already shown a couple of episodes featuring some important toy lines including Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, and G.I. Joe. I was talking to a few friends and was wondering if LEGO was going to be an episode since it was a revolutionary toy back in the day. I was skeptical because there’s so many other toys that were made in the past that may have been more popular than LEGO and it may not have made the cut.

Well it looks like I don’t have to worry about LEGO not becoming an episode because it looks like the company will be featured in one of the upcoming episodes of season two. It’ll be a while for the episode to air on Netflix because they’ve stated on their Facebook Page that it will be about four months before the show resumes.

In other news, it looks like they may have gotten some shots from Bricks LA this past weekend because I see fellow SandLUG member Miro Dudas being featured in one of their photos. I wonder if they have also taken a trip to Billund for some shots of the LEGO headquarters for the episode as well.
