New LEGO Friends Fan Designer Set Revealed

LEGO Friends Heartlake City Playground (41325)

At the end of last year, LEGO ran a Friends Designer contest and the the winner will have their model become an official product. The winner was an 8 year old from London named Sienna who’s submission would eventually become the Heartlake City Playground (41325). Heartlake Times has the official images and product description of the set which will be available starting on September 1. There’s even a brand new minidoll named after Sienna. How cool is that! You can check out more images and an interview over at Heartlake Times as well.

LEGO Friends Heartlake City Playground (41325)

LEGO® Friends Heartlake City Playground is the perfect place to have a blast with your besties. Centered around a tree house, it includes a climbing wall with colored holds and a twister slide. Push the functioning swings to make them go back and forth, spin the merry-go-round and make the 2 mini-doll figures go up and down on the seesaw. Help them take a seat on the benches as they watch Pippa the dog stretch her legs, then use the walkie-talkies to invite more friends to come out and play!

The LEGO Group Appoints Niels B. Christiansen as New CEO

Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that the Board of Directors has appointed Niels B. Christiansen as the new CEO of the company. Christiansen replaces Bali Padda who took over at the beginning of the year. Read the full press release below.

The LEGO Group today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Niels B. Christiansen, 51, as CEO of the LEGO Group effective October 1, 2017.

Christiansen was most recently CEO of global industrial technology company, Danfoss, a position he held for nine years until end of June 2017. Christiansen replaces Bali Padda, 61, a long-standing LEGO Group executive, who will assume a special advisory role with LEGO Brand Group.

Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, Executive Chairman of LEGO Brand Group said, ‘Niels is a great leader who delivered outstanding results while CEO of Danfoss. There, he transformed a traditional industrial company into a technology leader. His experience in digitalisation and globalisation, implementing a transformative strategy, and creating an agile, high performing, international team will benefit the LEGO Group. The Board is confident that under Niels, the LEGO Group will continue to flourish and bring play experiences to more children around the world.’ Knudstorp said the transition to a new CEO occurred more rapidly than the Board had anticipated.

“Bali has been part of the LEGO Group family for the past 15 years. He played an integral role in the turnaround of the LEGO Group and during his time as CEO created a solid foundation from which to continue to transform the company. He is

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Jackie Chan Stunt Team Demonstration Video

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Master Wu

We already know that Master Wu in The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be voiced by Jackie Chan. It was revealed at SDCC 2017 that the Jackie Chan Stunt Team had a part as well by doing some of the stunts in the movie. In a new video from People, Jackie talks about the JC Stunt Team and how they were involved and it also included some demonstrations of some of the stunts that we will be seeing.

It’s cool that we see some of the behind-the-scenes clips that are translated into the movie and I’m sure we’ll learn more about it in the upcoming The Making of the Movie DK book.

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) Review

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

In recent years, LEGO has released some peculiar standalone sets featuring some past minifigures. It started off with the Iconic Easter (5004468) set with the Chicken Suit Guy then last year with the Gingerbread Man (5005156). Starting tomorrow, LEGO kicks off a new promotion that runs until the end of August which will feature the Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936). You can get it for free with a purchase of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

The packaging is fairly interesting. Throughout the whole box, there are various things that are carved into the stone wall including a minifigure blueprint on the back. Also on the back is a lost poster of their supposed pet dinosaur. The door is perforated and it opens to reveal the Caveman and Cavewoman.

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

The Caveman was first introduced in the Series 1 Collectible Minifigures (8683). For this version, he has a pelt outfit that is more brown than before but unfortunately like before, there is no back printing. He has the same head with the bushy eyebrows and large smile. His hair/beard piece, however, is different with the new Caveman having a dark brown piece. His accessory is a dark brown club.

The Cavewoman was also from a previous Collectible Minifigures series (Series 5 – 8805) and like the Caveman, she has a similar design pattern from before. For the new version, she has a brown outfit with tan outlines. Like before, the hair piece is a soft rubber mold but this one … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie New Character Posters

IGN has released some new images of the character posters for The LEGO Ninjago Movie. The posters feature the main characters in the movie along with their respective vehicles. All of the vehicles are now available as LEGO sets except for Cole’s Quake Mech which is rumored to be available later this year/early next year.

Although the September 2017 LEGO Store Calendar doesn’t show these particular posters available as GWP, hopefully we get them in October or in future months.

LEGO Releases Image of Mystery Instruction Booklet

LEGO Teaser #2

A short while ago, LEGO released another teaser which could be for the supposed LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). For this one, they’ve shown off a mystery instruction booklet and says that this one is 2.56 times bigger than one for the the 196 page LEGO Creator Carousel (10257). If you’re counting pages, this very large booklet will have about 502 pages.

This continues the trend of releasing a teaser every Tuesday up until the official reveal of this mystery set. Stay tuned next week for another reveal if this pattern keeps up.

LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi D23 Character Posters

LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi General Leia

At D23 2017, Disney released some new character posters for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and these posters are now recreated in LEGO form. Shared by LEGO on their social media accounts, the posters feature the main characters in the movie including General Leia, Kylo Ren, Poe Dameron, Rey, Luke Skywalker, and Finn in the crimson red color scheme. There’s no word if these posters will be available as physical ones given out as a GWP but it’ll be cool if they were. I would totally add them to my wall.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Alphabet Translator

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Alphabet

If you’ve been collecting The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, you’d probably have noticed some strange symbols throughout the sets. This is actually the language of Ninjago and LEGO has been doing some things for fans to help decipher the symbols.

If you’re near a LEGO Brand Store, some of them have been giving out a promotional handout which includes a translator for each of the letters of the alphabet. If you’re not near a store, LEGO has also provided an online version of it (http://www.ninjagolanguagetranslator.com/). Here you have a QWERTY keyboard layout for the symbols but there is also a row for the numbers as well which the physical copy does not have.

I do appreciate LEGO releasing a Ninjago language translator especially for younger fans and now everyone can decode what everything says in the sets.

Give More Articulation to The LEGO Ninjago Movie Fire Mech (70615)

kaifiremechmod06

A few days ago, I did a review on the new The LEGO Ninjago Movie Fire Mech (70615) and one of the major complaints I had with it was there was no knee joints. Chubbybots over on Flickr saw more changes that they could make to the build to make it more articulated including changes to the knees, ankles, arms, and waist. They’ve even posted a video to show you how you can make changes to your Fire Mech as well.

Major LEGO Mistake in It Trailer

Here’s a little Sunday funday kind of post to start off the week. The new trailer for the remake of the classic film It dropped recently and there’s something LEGO related in it that may trigger fans. Eagle-eyed fan Nathan Wells found a mistake that made even producer Seth Grahame-Smith say they’re cancelling the release until further notice.

In the trailer, a LEGO model made of lime-green parts was dropped and if you look at it closely, there’s a 2×2 lime-green roof tile that can be seen. Unfortunately, the movie takes place in 1989 while the part wasn’t released until 2010. Obviously, this is an oversight of major proportions and we demand that director Andrés Muschietti reshoot the scene with correct LEGO parts used!

Clearly, I’m joking but it’s really it’s neat to see that there are fans with vast knowledge of LEGO even in a minute scale. As LEGO gets bigger and bigger, it’s also cool to see that more LEGO has been implemented into recent movies and TV shows with the latest one being the Death Star in Spider-Man: Homecoming and I hope to see more in the future.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) Review

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are now available and there are also a number of polybags that you can find as well. One of these polybags is the Ice Tank (30427) which is currently available at Target stores for $3.49 each.

The 71 piece polybag is a basically a miniature version of the regular 70616 Ice Tank which I’ve already reviewed. This smaller one has all of the defining features of the Ice Tank like the cockpit and the ice cannon in the front, the panels in the middle, the treads on the wheels, and the ice container in the back.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

I do like the use of the small chain links for the treads as they were previously only used for LEGO Technic sets. I will say they do not roll well on smooth surfaces but they do work great on carpet or fabric surfaces.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427)

Overall, The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank Polybag (30427) is a neat little model if you’re a MOC fodder, the chain links themselves are almost worth the price of the polybag itself. As mentioned before, the polybag can be found at Target and I found mine at the checkout lanes.

There will be lots of LEGO anniversaries coming up for 2018 including the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and it looks like we will be getting some special anniversary sets to celebrate it. In a post over on Eurobricks, Sir von Lego has stated there are five rumored sets that could be centered around various old school LEGO themes which could include some fan favorites like Classic, Space, Castle, Pirates, and Town. They also stated that the Classic box will look like the shape of a brick. LEGO is known for releasing anniversary type sets in the past and it’ll be exciting to see what we’ll be getting next year.

LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) Image Found

LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037)

The LEGO House in Billund opens on September 28, 2017 and to commemorate the opening, there will be a LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) set coming out for it. One thing I will say about it is that it looks really good and it is color coordinated to show the different zones in the LEGO House. There’s no information on piece count, price point, or if it will be available worldwide as a regular set or not however the building instructions are now available if you want to build your own.

Update: Counting up the parts inventory, there are 774 pieces in this set, not including any extra small parts.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Hidden in Teaser Post?

LEGO Mystery Set

Yesterday, LEGO did a teaser post for a new set that is releasing soon which will come in a box 4.86 times larger than the LEGO Creator London Bus box. Some Photoshop experts over on Reddit have done some x-ray editing on the image and have found out something really peculiar about it. They have actually found out that there is indeed a set inside the wrapper. As you can see from the image below (click to expand), you can clearly see the LEGO logo at the corner and you can faintly see what appears to be the cockpit for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192).

I know fans have been waiting for an updated UCS Millennium Falcon for a long time and it looks like that dream may be coming true. LEGO has been dropping hints for many months now from shadowed outline on boxes to past designer videos but LEGO should be announcing something very soon as there is a VIP early access set starting on September 14.

LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451) Now Available Worldwide

LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451)

Last year, I reported on the LEGO Education Panama Canal (2000451) which was only available locally in Panama. Yesterday I’ve received an email from Juan from the marketing team at the Panama STEM website saying the set can now be purchased and shipped anywhere in the world.

It’ll still go for $249.95 but it has free Priority Mail International shipping to the US. They also ship worldwide using DHL. It’s not a bad price but if you’re a collector of these kinds of exclusive sets, it’s cheaper than what you would find on eBay.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow SDCC 2017 Vixen Review

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

On two separate days at San Diego Comic Con 2017, LEGO was giving away to attendees an exclusive LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen. If you’re not a fan of the show, you may be wondering who this character is. There are actually two versions of the character in the Arrowverse with this one being Mari’s grandmother. Like with previous exclusive SDCC LEGO minifigures, she comes in a clamshell with a backing card.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

Vixen wears a dark brown outfit with some tan armor printing. There’s also printing of the Anansi Totem necklace that goes around her neck. The legs also have some more detail printing including the knee armor. Her double-sided head piece is nouget colored with a normal expression on one side and a smirk on the other. Her hair piece is brown with a braid in the back.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen minifigure is a pretty obscure character for those who aren’t familiar with the show. This also marks the second SDCC minifigure in a row for Legends of Tomorrow joining Atom from last year. Will we continue this trend of seeing more LoT minifigures at SDCC or will we be seeing other DC properties? We shall see in less than a year. Admittedly, Vixen isn’t as popular as the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck but she was popular enough for people to line up hours before the raffle started for a chance to get her.

LEGO Ninjago Showrunner Responds to Concerns for Season 8

LEGO NInjago Sons of Garmadon

Yesterday was the LEGO Ninjago TV series panel at SDCC 2017 and attendees were able to see a short clip of the Season 8 Sons of Garmadon. While I was live-tweeting, some fans had more questions that were answered at the panel while others were somewhat skeptical of what to expect. Showrunner Tommy Andreasen has taken to Twitter to give a response on some of the feedback. Here’s the transcribed version.

Hi All!

Thank you all for your responses to our season 8 sneak peak, revealed at San Diego Comic Con. Some of you have asked some questions or expressed concerns, so here is a response which hopefully will address most of them.

Season 8 of Ninjago is scheduled to come out in 2018. Though it may not be evident from the opening scene revealed at Comic Con, it is indeed the continuation of the TV series story line. It has been specifically written with a keen eye on what long time fans of the series have expressed desire to know more about.

One of Ninjago’s key strengths has always been it’s ability to change. We want each season to feel unique, and the show has a long history of twisting plots, structure and taking daring chances.

Several characters like Zane and Cole has had major updates during the series long run. Usually these changes happen within the episodes. This time however since time has passed since the end o Hands of Time, the changes are simply there. Where it may raise questions as you first

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck Review

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

It wasn’t announced until Preview Night of San Diego Comic Con 2017 but I have managed to get the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck. He is basically what happens when Deadpool is combined with Howard the Duck which was first introduced in a five issue miniseries at the beginning of the year. The clamshell that Deadpool Duck uses is the same one as before in previous years. The backing is just a two-sided one with the back promoting LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

The torso is a new one with updated printing. There are now straps that go around the shoulders and around the back. There’s also some brown pouches around the waist as well. The Deadpool buckle is a little bit larger. The legs are of the short variety as he is a duck. The head gets a makeover which uses the Donald and Daisy head mold from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney Series (71012). The head is now painted with the red and black Deadpool mask with one eye squinting.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck

Overall, the exclusive SDCC 2017 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck is a great addition to any collection. Considering Deadpool hasn’t appeared in a set since 2013 with the Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown (6866), any variant of him is a good. Unfortunately for fans who weren’t able to attend SDCC, the only way to possibly get it is having really good friends or on the secondary market. The price of it has dropped somewhat since SDCC ended but it’s still … Continue

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2017 Panel Recap

The LEGO Ninjago TV series panel was earlier today at San Diego Comic Con 2017 and there was some new information regarding Season 8. I was also live-tweeting the panel which can check out on Twitter.

The panel consisted of Writers Kevin and Dan Hageman, showrunner Tommy Andreasen, senior creative director Simon Lucas, IP lead Nelson Lamonica, and suprise guest David Shayne. The first thing the panel talked about was last season’s Hands of Time.

LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu SDCC 2017

The first thing the panel talked about was some of the inner workings of the previous season. They showed off some concept art and talked about what the season was about.

Next up is more concept art for the Kai and Nya’s Fusion Dragon. They explained that they wanted to make it look more organic.

Finally, there was the big question of where Wu is. We’ll find out more in Season 8. One cool thing that was touched on was some kids at last year’s panel gave some suggestions on how Zane got his powers and the Hagemans took those suggestions and we will be seeing them next season.

Here’s an image of what subscribers received in their first box.

LEGO Unikitty! Theme Song to be Performed by BABYMETAL

LEGO Unikitty!

At the Cartoon Network’s Unikitty! panel at San Diego Comic Con 2017 yesterday, attendees got an exclusive look at the first episode of the show. In an unexpected reveal, Ed Skudder and Aaron Waltke announced that Japanese metal band BABYMETAL will be performing the theme song. This is surprising news and it may help boost the popularity of the new show as Babymetal has quite a large fanbase. As for the episode itself, like I said in my live-tweet of the panel, it was interesting and has potential. I won’t go into detail of what the episode was about as to not spoil it.

Also during the panel, attendees were also given the Green Ninja Mech Dragon (30428) polybag. There’s no word on availability of it at this time.

LEGO is giving out a very cool LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor: Ragnarok poster at San Diego Comic Con 2017, most likely on accident.

He will also be doing signings at the booth in Saturday from 3-4.

LEGO has given an update to the confusion. Today and Saturday is for Thor: Ragnarok while Friday and Sunday are for Justice League.

San Diego Comic Con 2017 Preview Night kicked off earlier today and as soon as the doors were open, I headed straight to the LEGO booth where it was featuring a lot of The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

We got a set description of it last month and we finally have a good look at it.

Did a LEGO Designer Hint at the Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)?

Here’s something coming out of the Brickset Forums yesterday regarding the highly rumored and anticipated updated LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). I saw it yesterday but there was plenty of San Diego Comic Con 2017 news and planning that I held off on reporting it.

If you’re familiar with the set listings on Brickset, you would sometimes see something called “Bricklist Notes” in which LEGO designers can put notes into sets they have designed to give some information about the creative process. Hans Burkhard Schlömer, who is on the LEGO Star Wars design team, has worked previous sets including the Millennium Falcon (75105) and UCS sets such as the Slave I and the Assault on Hoth (75098) has given an very interesting note on a set that was released this year. In the Republic Fighter Tank (75182) listing, Hans wrote:

Clones need a ride too! I did this set as a quick side-project while working on a much, much, much, much, much, much larger set which is going to be announced on September 1st 2017.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you would know that September 1 is the planned date for Star Wars Force Friday II event for The Last Jedi. I’m not a rocket scientist but that sounds like a big ol’ hint for the Millennium Falcon, doesn’t it? Or it could just be that reported UCS BB-8 (75187) that is supposedly coming as well.

We’ll all see together in about one and a half months when all the new LEGO … Continue

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA December Release Date Revealed?

Back in February, it was announced that the Women of NASA project was approved to be the next LEGO Ideas set and it looks like we may have a release date for it. During Japan Brickfest, there was a presentation from the LEGO Community Engagement Team and during the talk, some of the latest LEGO Ideas sets including the Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, and Women of NASA were shown off. It also showed the release dates of the sets and the Women of NASA is slated to be coming December 1.

Of course, anything can change and that date could be pushed back so until LEGO officially announces the set, I wouldn’t confirm it just yet. We’re also still waiting for the results of the Third 2016 Review Stage which should be announced any time now as they were close to wrapping it up in their last update.

LEGO set 1355 Temple of Gloom was part of the Studios line in 2000. The particular set featured Johnny Thunder from Adventurers, or at least an actor who plays him. Solidifying the theory that Johnny Thunder is just an unlicensed Indiana Jones, this set begs to ask; were the adventures of the Adventurers actually real or were they all film plots?

There was also a character reveal today and it, not surprisingly, it was the Homemade Suit from Spider-Man: Homecoming. As you can see, he has on the red hoodie with blue pants.

Today’s announcement was too spectacular as I already expected this version of Spider-Man to be in the game. I expect there will be a lot more character reveals next week at San Diego Comic Con so stay tuned for that.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat Animated Special Announced

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy

Disney’s D23 Expo is going on in Anaheim right now and it was just announced at the Marvel Animation panel that there will be a 22 minute special called LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat. There’s no other details but there is a synopsis from CBR.com below. It doesn’t seem like the special will follow the MCU GotG storyline and will most likely have the same LEGO humor as other LEGO animated shows. There’s no word yet on when or where it will be shown.

When Thanos, Ronan, Nebula and the Ravagers seek to possess the Build Stone — a powerful and creative relic — the fate of the universe depends on the Guardians of the Galaxy to protect it.

LEGO The Big Bang Theory SDCC 2017 Exclusive WB Bag

LEGO The Big Bang Theory SDCC 2017 Bag

Every year at San Diego Comic Con, there are exclusive collectible bags that Warner Bros. provides to attendees. The bags feature a property of WB and one of the more notable bags for this year is for The Big Bang Theory. As you can see above, the bag has an image of the box art for the LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory (21302) set from a few years ago. It’s not as flashy as some of the other SDCC 2017 WB bags but I’ll be trying my best to get this particular one.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Availability Update

Even though the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) was just released last month, it has been out of stock pretty much since then and fans have been starting to worry if it would ever come back. There have been sightings of it at various LEGO Brand Stores, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart but that stock has been limited as well. So what’s the deal on it?

Last month, it was stated through an email from LEGO saying that the Saturn V would be in production through 2018 and we now have an official word from Hasan from LEGO Ideas. In his statement, he has stated

We Are Continuing To Produce More Apollo Saturn V Sets

There was no doubt that the set would continued to be produced but some would rather wait for an official statement from LEGO. As Captain America says, be patient and keep checking in on it at LEGO Stores if you’re near one or on B&N and Walmart online. You can read the full statement below.

It has been over a month since the official launch of the LEGO® Ideas 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V set and the overwhelming popularity of the iconic rocket has unfortunately meant that some LEGO fans have not yet been able to purchase their set or have had to wait longer than they had hoped.

Unfortunately, rumours and speculation have arisen concerning its availability, which we would like to shortly address.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Storage Options

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Play and Display Case

If you’re going to be purchasing The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets, also be on the lookout for a variety of storage options as well. There’s a similar theme will all of them and that is the sand green color scheme that is used. These are currently only available for pre-order on Amazon UK but they’ll eventually make their way over to the US when merchanise is released.


Play and Display Case

Have fun with and show off your LEGO NINJAGO creations with this new two-level play and display box. The display case comes with 6 original grey LEGO baseplates and two backdrop scenes that sets the tone for your play situation.

The transparent case cover will let your LEGO NINJAGO creations take centre stage, while protecting them from dust and nosy siblings.

Another Take on LEGO Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Voltron

If you know me well enough, then you would know that I’m a big fan of Voltron: Defender of the Universe. I’ve been collecting Voltron action figures since I was a old enough to know about it from the original lions to the Voltron Vehicle Force (DaiRugger XV).

Since returning to the LEGO community, I’ve been thoroughly impressed with some of the LEGO Voltron MOCs such as the one by len_d69 on LEGO Ideas which is still under consideration to become an official set. The same builder has also created a LEGO version of Voltron Vehicle Force as well.

The newest MOC is by Dennis Qiu and it is equally impressive. This version seems to be based on the Voltron Maquette from Sideshow Collectibles which has their sleeker interpretation of Voltron. One of the more notable differences is the slimmer body that it has compared to the bulkier original version.

Now the only thing I’m pretty much waiting for is the official LEGO Ideas Voltron set to be approved and released.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2: Meet the Talent Behind the Video Game SDCC 2017 Panel

Exclusive Giveaway at The LEGO Ninjago Movie SDCC 2017 Panel

A few weeks ago, I reported that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be heading to San Diego Comic Con 2017 in just a few short weeks and there’s some more details regarding the standalone panel. On Thursday, July 20, 2017 6:45pm – 7:45pm in Room 6A, the cast and crew for the movie will be on hand to talk about the movie and it looks like there there will be an exclusive giveaway to attendees to the panel according to Cosmic Book News.

LEGO Star Wars 2018 Rumored Sets

Star Wars Force Friday II

I’ve reported on some rumored 2018 sets for various themes already and Sir von Lego is back again with details for LEGO Star Wars.. He has mentioned five by their potential set names along with four unnamed sets for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Tatooine Battle Pack (75198) – Includes two Jawas, Tusken Raider, Astro-Mech, and a vehicle.

General Grievous Combat Speeder (75199) – Includes General Grievous, Mace Windu, and dark blue and grey Combat Speeder.

Yoda’s Hut (75208) – Includes Yoda, Luke, R2-D2.

Boba Fett (75533) – Buildable Figure.

Darth Vader (75534) – Buildable Figure. We already have the 75111 set so it’ll be interesting to see what this one is. Maybe this one is based on Rogue One with the redder eye lens?

There’s also mention of Coleman Trebor in another Battle Pack and Ki-Adi Mundi, possibly in the same set.

The LEGO Batman Movie More Rumored 2018 Sets

The LEGO Batman Movie Bat-Spaceshuttle

Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has been busy giving tidbids of some rumored 2018 LEGO sets and this time, there are details for the third wave of The LEGO Batman Movie. I’ve already talked about two of the sets which are the Bat-Buggy and the Egghead Mech which you can check that out here. The other sets that Sir von Lego talked about are the Justice League Anniversary Party, Harley Quinn’s Attack, and the Bat-Spaceshuttle.

The Justice League Anniversary Party was shown in the movie when Batman and Robin went to the Fortress of Solitude where Superman is partying with the other Justice League members. It was mentioned that it will include Superman, Hawkman, El Dorado, and Wonder Dog. Will we also finally see a set featuring the Fortress of Solitude?

Harley Quinn’s Cannonball Attack is seen in The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie and it includes Harley, Batgirl, a driver, and another character.

Finally, we have a Bat-Spaceshuttle. This set was seen when Robin discovers Batman’s lair as seen in the image above. It includes three versions of Batman and two for Robin.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Black Panther & Avengers: Infinity War Details

There are some more LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2018 news regarding some of the upcoming movie tie-in sets. According to Sir von Lego on Eurobricks, we will be getting two Black Panther sets and a whopping six for Avengers: Infinity War.

We’ve already seen a Black Panther minifigure from the Black Panther Pursuit (76047) from Civil War last year so hopefully we’ll see an updated outfit. We’ll also most likely see a Erik Killmonger minifigure and one for Ulysses Klaue as well.

As for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War sets, I’m surprised there are that many that tie-in sets. Considering there are a plethora of characters in the movie, I’m sure they will be spread out into all the sets with hopefully no duplicates. Also, since there are six Infinity Gems/Stones, I’m hoping one is included in every set which makes sense.

What are you looking forward to seeing in the LEGO Black Panther and Infinity Wars sets? Let us know in the comments below.

We’ve just passed the first half of the year and it looks like we’re starting to get details of what could be coming out for 2018. Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has reported on some rumored 2018 LEGO Nexo Knights sets. Some may have thought the theme was going to end soon but it doesn’t seem like it now. Keep in mind that these sets aren’t confirmed yet but the OP is known to give correct information in the past.

More LEGO 2017 Promotional Pod Polybags Revealed

LEGO Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914)

Yesterday, there were a lot of LEGO promotion products that were revealed over on Bouwsteenjes and one type of product that were in shown various themes were the pod polybags. The pod polybag was first introduced with the Batman Battle Pod (5004929) from The LEGO Batman Movie and LEGO has expanded the idea to other themes.

I’ve already talked about one for The LEGO Ninjago Movie with Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) but there are also ones for LEGO Nexo Knights and LEGO Friends.

For the LEGO Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), there is a knight minifigure along with a sword and shield as accessories. I do like in front of the pod, you have the Classic Space logo on the badge.

The other pod polybag is the Ski Pod (5004929) for LEGO Friends. The minidoll included in this set is Emma in her ski outfit which appears to be exclusive to this pod. For the accessories, there are some skis, a helmet, and a trophy.

There are no information on when or how you will be able to obtain these LEGO pod polybags at this time but I’ll let you know when the details are available.

Take a Trip Down Memory Lane in the LEGO Archive Vault

A few weeks ago, Josh Hanlon from Beyond the Brick was able to attend LEGO Fan Media Days and he has given LEGO fans a look at something that most of us probably won’t be able to see in real life, the LEGO Archive Vault, aka Memory Lane. It is located under the LEGO Idea House and it contains almost every single LEGO set that has been produced. Attendees of the LEGO Inside Tour are also able to check it out.

LEGO designers and other employees also go down to the Vault to do research or reminisce about their childhood. Since LEGO adds to the Vault every year, that means that they are running out of room and will soon have to move it to another location. You’ll notice that in the beginning of the film, Josh notes that there are already upcoming sets that haven’t been released yet that are already on the shelves which is blocked off.

If you have half a hour to spare, I highly recommend you taking a look at the video as there are lots of cool stuff that were shown off. Did you see sets that you have/had that were from your childhood?

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934)

It’s never too early for Christmas news and it looks like we have a first look at a new LEGO Seasonal Christmas Ornament (5004934). As you can see from the images, it’s a new concept consisting of 66 pieces which includes small builds like a tricycle, race car, a gift, and a couple of minifigures. You also notice that part of the build comes out from the top of the box. That’s because the box itself is the ornament and it doesn’t look like there’s an actual tree build which is disappointing.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Promotional Products

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai's Dojo Pod (5004916)

Brickset has uploaded official images of some of the promotional products for upcoming The LEGO Ninjago Movie. There’s no information on how or when these products will be available at this time. We’ll just have to wait and see if they show up on the LEGO Store Calendars or at Toys R Us weekly ads.

First is the Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) which basically is similar to The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929). The difference here is is that it is red with an image of Kai’s mask on the front of the pod and it includes a Kai minifigure in a white dojo outfit. You also get a shelf filled with training accessories as well.

Next up is a Master Wu Keychain (5004915) polybag. He is not exclusive as this minifigure appears in a few of the The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets.

Finally, we have The LEGO Ninjago Movie Movie Maker Polybag (5004394). If you saw my post from earlier today, there’s also a full on Movie Maker Set (853702) and this is a smaller version of it. It appears that this polybag will include a different minifigure than the larger set as this one features Jay in a white training outfit.

LEGO Artist Dan Veesenmeyer at San Diego Comic Con 2017

If you’re heading to San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks, a familiar face in the LEGO community will be returning to Artist Alley. Dan Veesenmeyer will again be attending and he will have some limited edition 8″x11″ prints available for purchase for $10 each. These prints feature Wonder Woman, Princess Leia, and Spider-Man in their LEGO minifigure forms and are limited to just 40 prints each.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) Feel Guide

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019)

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) will be released in a few weeks but I’ve already gotten a few requests to do my usual feel guide for them. I’ve also made a checklist with some of the feel tips which you can download as a PDF.

As with any feel guides that I put out, experienced collectors may not need it but there are also newcomers and younger collectors who can make use of it.

1. Flashback Garmadon: Since he is one of three Garmadons in this wave, he will have two torsos. To distinguish him from the other ones, feel for the 2×2 tile, hair piece, and camera.

2. Lloyd: He is the other minifigure to have a 2×3 tile. Confirm with the sword and extra hair piece.

3. Kai Kendo: For Kai,I would suggest feeling more for the two sticks, the kendo helmet, and the spiky hair piece.

4. Lloyd Garmadon: This version of Lloyd should be easy to pick out. Feel for the hoodie/hair mold, the bowl, and spoon.

5.Sushi Chef: Some of the notable parts for him are the butcher knife, two 1×1 round sushi tiles, 1×1 round brick, and the bald head piece.

6. Cole: The easiest thing for Cole is his boombox.

7. Zane: His backpack should be one of the things to feel for. Confirm with his flat hair piece.

8. Master Wu: He should be one of the easier … Continue

LEGO Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

Yesterday, I reported on the August 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and the main promotion of the month is the Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) minifigures. It will be available August 10-31 with a purchase of $50 or more, while supplies last.

If you’ve collecting the Collectible Minifigures since the beginning, you’ll notice that the new minifigures look similar to the ones released previously. The Caveman was from Series 1 (8683) while the Cavewoman was from Series 5 (8805). The only difference with the new ones are the colors for the printing on the torsos, legs, and the hair pieces so this technically makes them exclusive to this set.

The packaging for the double minifigures has some designs for the rock home and the wooden door which opens to reveal the minifigures. The Caveman & Cavewoman is the third “Iconic” set that LEGO will be releasing with the first one being the Chicken Suit Guy in the Iconic Easter (5004468) and the other with the Gingerbread Man (5005156) from last year.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019)

A few weeks ago, we had our first look at The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures (71019) but there are now official packaging images for them as well. They will be available starting in August for $3.99 each and PromoBricks has learned that there will be three complete sets per box. That will be under speculation until that is confirmed by a box opening which includes the minifigure distribution.

LEGO has also released the group image of the Ninjago Collectible Minifigures that we’re used to seeing. Which one(s) are you looking for to getting?

Lloyd, the Green Ninja: As the legendary Green Ninja, Lloyd is a Master Builder and the leader of a secret ninja force protecting Ninjago City from the most notorious villain of all time: Lord Garmadon. Crowds cheer the Green Ninja as a hero, but when he takes off his mask they only see him as Lloyd, the boy unfortunate enough to be Garmadon’s son.

Impatient, impulsive and completely self-absorbed, he likes to make a point by firing his generals….from a volcano.

LEGO Ninjago Coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017

Yesterday I reported that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017 and it looks like the LEGO Ninjago animated TV show will also be coming as well. Dan and Kevin Hageman over on Twitter has confirmed that the show will be holding their own panel, similar to previous years.

As to what the LEGO Ninjago panel will be about, that’s up to anyone’s speculation. My guess is that it will focus on the storyline from the animated series and the impact the end of the Hands of Time arc has on the Ninjas.

There’s no word yet on when the LEGO Ninjago panel at SDCC will be but we’ll have more details when the schedules come out in the next few weeks.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Coming to San Diego Comic Con 2017

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Poster

San Diego Comic Con 2017 news is in full swing especially for the LEGO-related things. Warner Bros. will have their usual panel in Hall H and it appears that the cast and crew of The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be hand to discuss the film. Chris McKay has confirmed they will be there but didn’t say to what extent.

Most likely, some or all of the cast including Jackie Chan, Justin Theroux, Dave Franco, Olivia Munn, Michael Peña, Fred Armisen, Kumail Nanjiani, Abbi Jacobson, and Zach Woods could be on hand to talk about the movie as well.

Depending on my schedule, I may or may not be able to attend the Hall H panel but I’ll definitely report on it when information is available. Hopefully there’s new details of The LEGO Ninjago Movie and a new trailer would be nice as well.

i-Brix Wireless LEGO Lighting System Back on Kickstarter

Back in 2015, Dustin from i-Brix launched a Kickstarter campaign which was supposed to be the industry’s first wireless lighting system to be used with LEGO. Unfortunately, the campaign failed as it did not meet its goal.

After two years with additional research and development, i-Brix is now back on Kickstarter with a lower goal threshold. If you haven’t heard of i-Brix before, it uses a 1×1 i-Brix that connects to regular LEGO bricks and power is conducted through the included Power Plate.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) Review

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

Earlier this month, LEGO had a promotion for the Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) with purchases of $35 or more. Here’s a little short review of the set with something special at the end.


Packaging

The box that the Minifigure Travel Pack comes in has the design of a suitcase with printing of stickers throughout. Inside the box, there’s more printing of various LEGO elements that people may take on a trip.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)

The items inside the box include the instructions in the form of a passport, a bag of parts, and some signs.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)


Minifigure

There’s one minifigure included with this set and he’s nothing too special. The torso features the spaceman printing and green arms. It has been used before in previous sets but it’s still cool to get that particular one. The legs are medium blue and the cap that he wears is lime green.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932)


Builds

There are lots of little builds that are in the set such as a beach chair with an umbrella, a mini sandcastle, a barbeque, and a camera on a tripod. There’s also a surfboard, a whip used as a fishing rod, some scuba gear, suitcase, and ice cream cone.

The idea of the set is to use these builds along with the minifigure and take picutres of them in various locations. In the back of the instructions, there are some images of the set at different locales.

The LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) isn’t your typical promotional set as June is sort of a travel month for LEGO promos. … Continue

Make a break from the Fratelli family as they chase you through the pirate ship, but don’t forget to dodge the traps! Build Sloth and use his Super Strength to smash through walls. For extra fun, play as Chunk and use his infamous Truffle Shuffle. Hop on to One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship when you need a ride or play the Skeleton Organ to make your way out of the caves.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City (70620) Concept Art

The LEGO Ninjago Movie NINJAGO City (70620)

Earlier today, the new Ninjago City (70620) direct-to-consumer set was revealed for The LEGO Ninjago Movie and Yahoo had an exclusive first look at the set. They’ve also released some concept art of how to set came to be which shows some of the detailing of what will be included in Ninjago City. If you didn’t see it yet, Ninjago City will have 4,867 pieces and will retail at $299.99 with availability starting on September 1.

Designers Nicolaas Vás and Christopher Leslie Stamp gives us some additional insight on how they created this massive set.

To capture the scope of Ninjago City, we split the model into three sections, each representing a different chapter of the city’s evolution. However, this led to the challenge of blending the levels together into a complete model. For example, we positioned the tower further back on the model, to give the impression of it rising from behind the buildings.

In the movie, Ninjago City is unlike anything we’ve seen before in a Lego set. One of the main challenges with a model like this is the difference in size between the vast on-screen location and the smaller model version.

As both [the movie’s set and the toy model] are built from Lego bricks, our approach was to choose key silhouettes and details which could be rebuilt at a smaller scale and still match the overall look [of the film].

My favorite part of designing this model was the opportunity to include things which we wouldn’t normally have in a Ninjago

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220)

If you missed out on the LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) last year and you’re near LEGOLAND California, you may be in luck.

LEGO Canvas Tote Bag Review

LEGO Canvas Tote Bag

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will be starting a new promotion until the end of the month for an exclusive Canvas Tote Bag. You can get it for free with purchases of $199 or more in LEGO Stores.

For the Canvas Tote Bag itself, it’s your typical full-sized, creme/white colored bag with the LEGO logo branding on one side. The material used for the logo seems to be a decent quality and should be able to withstand multiple uses.

For the compartments, you have the main one which is quite large for normal items like books or a laptop. I was able to fit TLBM Batwing box into it but that is about as much as you can fit into it if you are using it to buy more LEGO. There is also a smaller pocket where the LEGO logo is.

Overall, the new LEGO Canvas Tote Bag is the largest promotional giveaways I’ve seen since coming back to LEGO. The main deterrent is not the bag itself but the high qualifying purchase you have to make to get it. The last tote bag that LEGO released was back in 2011 so it’s nice to see another gear item. Again, it will only be available at LEGO Stores starting on June 15-30 while supplies last. Thank you to the LEGO Affiliate Team for sending this item in.

BrickLink Mosaick Hits Open Beta

BrickLink Mosaick

BrickLink has rolled out the open beta for their newest feature called Mosaick. It is basically a tool to allow anyone to turn an image into a digital LEGO mosaic. This also allows users to adjust resolution and size to their preference and price points.

After you upload an image, Mosaick gives you a number of options for shape, size (5x5in.-60x60in.), color, and part type (plate, tile, brick). It also gives you an estimated price as well as a parts list to show which elements are need to recreate a particular image. I did a mosaic of my logo to see how it looks and it seems to be running pretty smoothly.

LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258) Rumored for July VIP Release

If you saw my post about the July 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, VIPs will be getting early access to an exclusive set and it looks like we may know what it is. Hoth Bricks is reporting that the D2C set will be the LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258). The bus will be a larger version of the London Bus (40220) which we got last year.

If this rumor is true, it continues a trend of having regular sets as well as a smaller promotion set of the same vehicle. We first saw this with the Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220) with the mini 40079 set then with the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) with the smaller 40252 version.

If the LEGO Creator Double Decker Bus (10258) is indeed coming out in July for VIPs, we should expect official images and the designer video in the next few weeks.

Update: The LEGO Creator London Bus (10258) has been officially announced. You can check out the details in my other post.

The LEGO Group Continues Partnership With WWF to Reduce CO2 Emissions

A few days ago, The LEGO Group announced that it is extending their partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It is an effort to reduce CO2 emissions with their manufacturing and supply chain operations by 2020. The partnership with WWF is to also promote global action on climate change.

LEGO joined with WWF’s Climate Savers Programme in 2014 and has since exceeded all it’s climate targets including:

– Balancing 100% of energy use with renewable sources through investing DKK 6 billion in two offshore wind farms
– Research and development of more sustainable materials
– Improving energy efficiency of producing LEGO bricks by more than 12%

The continued partnership with WWF by TLG has committed to the following by 2020:

– A further 10% increase in carbon (CO2) efficiency per LEGO brick produced
– Continuing to ensure 100% of energy consumption is balanced by production of renewable energy sources
– Further engaging with key suppliers to reduce the CO2 emissions in the full supply chain

You can read more about The LEGO Group’s continued partnership with WWF in the link above.

LEGO Scooby-Doo! Blowout Beach Bash Blu-Ray

LEGO Scooby-Doo Blowout Beach Bash

There will be a new LEGO Scooby-Doo! original movie coming out on on Blu-Ray/DVD next month called LEGO Scooby-Doo!: Blowout Beach Bash. It doesn’t look like there will be an exclusive minifigure included like the previous movie (Haunted Hollywood) but the Blu-Ray itself contains some of the original Scooby-Doo cartoon episodes including Go Away Ghost Ship, A Clue for Scooby-Doo, and Party Like It’s 1899.

The movie will be available starting July 25.

Scooby-Doo! and his pals Fred, Daphne, Velma and Shaggy are no strangers to solving spooky mysteries filled with all types of ghouls and goblins. This time is no different. As Scooby-Doo! and his friends are on their way to Blowout Beach for a real swinging beach party in the Mystery Machine, the Ghost Pirates threaten to ruin the gang’s good vibes.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) in Production Through 2018

The new LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) is a very hot commodity at the moment and you’ll be lucky if you are able to find it available in stores. It’s so sought after at this time that LEGO Shop@Home has it out of stock for the time being with no estimated return date. Other retailers like Barnes and Noble may have it but your mileage may vary. Fans who are desperate for the set have resorted going to the secondary market however I would advise not going that route.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

I believe LEGO has learned from the past in releasing limited sets, like the Research Institute (21110), especially for a theme like LEGO Ideas which has fans from all over, even those who are not traditional LEGO fans. In a recent post on Reddit, a user has gotten confirmation from LEGO that production of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) will continue production for at least through 2018. This isn’t shocking news but it does reassure people that there will be more of the sets coming.

The moral of the story is to be patient and don’t pay scalper prices for something that will be coming back in the near future.

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929) Found at US Toys R Us

The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929)

It finally looks like the US will be getting The LEGO Batman Movie Batman Battle Pod (5004929) in a wider release. A reader has sent in an image of the polybag set out in a New Jersey Toys R Us. We’re still not sure of the official release date of it at TRU as they had to key it in but it rang up for $5.99 each.

If you remember from earlier this week, LEGOLAND California also has a promotion going for the Batman Battle Pod so it appears that LEGO will be finally releasing it here in the US. The item number 740399 and the SKU is 673419269292.

There’s still no word on whether TRU will be the only retailer having it available or if Shop@Home or other outlets will have them as well. Be on the lookout at your local Toys R Us to see if they have it at your store. Thanks to Todd for emailing this in.

Update: I’ve been told that it will officially be available at TRU starting on Sunday. We’ll see what sort of promo it goes with when the weekly ad comes out in a few days. Thanks to Peter for this info.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Rumored 2018 Sets

This is not unexpected but it looks like there will be LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets coming next year to coincide with the movie premiering in theaters. LEGO has been releasing sets for every movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe starting with The Avengers up to Thor: Ragnarok which comes out in a few months. The only movie that didn’t have a LEGO set tie-in was Thor: The Dark World.

It’ll be interesting to see if Thanos will be a regular minifigure or if he’ll use the same mold as in the Avenjet Space Mission (76049) but recolored. I have a feeling it’ll be the latter since LEGO already has the mold and usually larger characters use bigfigs instead of minifigures.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608) Polybag Leaflet Details

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608)

The leaflet for The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608) polybag is now available on LEGO’s building instructions page. There’s nothing much to see here but there are some new artwork to look at for the movie especially on the back page where it shows more of Ninjago City.

It is unknown of what the polybag goes with but it is suspected that it could be in a standalone video game for The LEGO Ninjago Movie because there is a code on the corner of the polybag to unlock a character that is similar to previous LEGO video games like LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, LEGO Marvel Avengers, and LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

LEGO BrickHeadz Exclusive Wonder Woman Building Event

LEGO BrickHeadz Exclusive Wonder Woman

Whether you saw or didn’t see my post yesterday about the July 2017 Store Calendar, there is a particular promotion that deserves a highlight. From July 1-16, the first 80 people to make a $75 purchase at a LEGO Store are able to register for a 18+ LEGO BrickHeadz building event for an exclusive Wonder Woman. The building event itself will be held from July 17-31 with the definite date varying by store.

This version of Wonder Woman is different from the one in the SDCC 2016 set which was based on the comic book version while this new one will be based on the DC Super Hero Girls one.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Being one of the first 80 people at a store seems like a big task but is achievable if make time to line up early, which a lot of hardcore LEGO fans will do. Even during a big set release day, that is still manageable even after has opened. I went to my store yesterday during the release of the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) and I got there 30 minutes after the store opened and I was told there was only about 15-20 people before me so 80 would take roughly about two hours, depending on how popular the store is. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re decided to make a purchase already, this is icing on the top.

LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros Rumored 2018 Sets

It appears that the LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros sets will be continuing in 2018 as Delta Customs has reported on some rumored ones coming for next year.

The first is a Guardians of the Galaxy one with the Milano and another ship. The minifigures included are Star Lord and Nebula and will have a printed 1×2 tile for the Awesome Mixtape.

The other set that is rumored is the Brainiac Skull along with another vehicle and the minifigures in that set are Brainiac and Supergirl. There will be a 1×1 cylinder piece representing the City of Kandor as well.

These are only a couple sets in the wave and I expect there to be a couple more Mighty Micros to go with them.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Rumored 2018 Sets

Delta Customs is back with more rumored sets for 2018 but this time it’s for LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes.

The first set is reported to be named Lobo’s Spacehog which includes at least Lobo and Superman. The Spacehog itself is Lobo’s customized SpazFrag666.

The next reported set is Lex Luthor’s mech which has minifigures of Lex Luthor, Cheetah, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Firestorm.

The final remored set is Cyborg Helicopter and Freeze Car. It has minifigures of Cyborg, Flash, Killer Frost, and Reverse Flash.

The LEGO Batman Movie Rumored 2018 Sets

The LEGO Batman Movie Bat Dune Buggy

The summer 2017 LEGO Batman Movie haven’t officially been released on Shop@Home yet but there’s already rumors of some 2018 TLBM sets coming from Delta Customs.

The first set is Batman Dune Buggy which includes minifigures of Batman and Captain Boomerang. The other set is called Egghead’s Food Fight which has Egghead’s mech and also includes Condiment King. It’s interesting that LEGO may be releasing another wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets next year. There has already been talks of another minifigures series for the movie as well.

Note that the images used are not leaked images of the sets as they come from The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie book which I highly recommend as it does give a lot of behind-the-scenes things such as concept art, sketches, and builds. They also might not be the final versions of the rumored sets but at least we have an idea of what they could look like. Some more future sets may also be hidden in plain sight in this book.

It looks like there’s a new LEGO Star Wars polybag that has surfaced that goes with the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) from a few months ago which is the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). Like before, the minifigure goes on a little stand with a background. There’s no word on when it will be available.

It looks like the Russian portal for LEGO.com has given our first look at Old Luke Skywalker from the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens heading into Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

There’s no way to know that this version of him will be in an upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi set coming this Force Friday until sets start to be revealed days leading up to the event.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Official Trailer

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

The wait is finally over because the official trailer for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has just been released. The trailer gives off a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 feel and it shows Groot and Rocket Raccoon getting into some trouble, as they usually do. It also shows off some new characters including Ego in planet form, Spider-Man Noir, something that appears to be a Sentinel, and a somewhat better look at Kang the Conqueror.

There’s nothing of actual gameplay footage so we’ll have to wait until E3 and San Diego Comic Con for those. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 will be released on November 14 for the PlayStation 4, XBox One, and PC. The Nintendo Switch version will be coming this holiday season.

Update: WB has requested the videos be taken down at this time. I’ll put it back when they release it.

It consists of 1,628 pieces and goes for $149.99 which is a decent $0.09/piece especially for a licensed set.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Rumored Pre-Order Minifigure

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 was just announced last week and the official trailer doesn’t drop for another two days. Fans are already speculating there will be a pre-order bonus to go with the game since almost every recent standalone LEGO game had one before. Easy guesses are Spider-Man 2099 and Spider-Gwen since they are in the center of the cover art. Even Cowboy Captain America is strange enough to be one as well.

From what I am hearing, it won’t be any of the characters listed above but someone very random called Goliath. If you’re a comic book fan, Goliath is actually Hank Pym who was the original Ant-Man. Goliath is created when he used his growing power after he retired Giant-Man.

Although Goliath is a random choice for a minifigure, he is exclusive since we never had one in minifigure form but fans who wanted other characters will have to wait a little longer. Keep in mind that LEGO does not have to include a pre-order minifigure so this is actually a bonus, plus you get another member of the Avengers. Do you think Goliath is a good choice for the exclusive pre-order minifigure for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2?

LEGO Ideas Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner Achieves 10,000 Supporters

The Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner by Rainer Zufall is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The setting for the project is from a prominent location from the popular comedy-drama show on the WB/CW. It also proposes minifigures of Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Jess, Lane, and Kirk.

The project hit the milestone in less than a month due to its coverage on online publications like Buzzfeed, Fortune, Time, and Mashable, just to name a few. I honestly did not watch Gilmore Girls so I’m not sure of its popularity even though I’ve heard of it before. It is the first project to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

Official LEGO Fidget Spinner Building Instructions

LEGO Fidget Spinner

The current fad, at least here in the US, is fidget toys and fidget spinners. Before the ship has sailed, it appears that LEGO has produced official building instructions for two versions of the toy.

The builds are very similar with no exclusive parts but it depends if you want to hold a turntable piece or a Technic pin. Of course, you can still customize the LEGO Fidget Spinner to your liking.

Various LEGO Sales on Amazon

Amazon is currently having very good sales on sets from various LEGO themes including a couple that are at a pretty decent price points for what you get.

First is the LEGO City City Square (60097) which is at $135.99. That is 28% off the normal price of $189.99 or $54 off. You do get a lot of cool builds with the set including the tram, LEGO Store as well as the LEGO delivery truck which we rarely see.

The next set that I think is a good buy is the LEGO Minecraft The Fortress (21127). It is currently at $67 or 39% off the normal price of $109.99. This brings the price/piece ratio to about $0.07. As with other Minecraft sets, you do get a good amount of parts anyways if you’re just buying it for parts.

Finally, we have a couple of LEGO Star Wars sets to help you build up your fleet. The Resistance X-Wing Fighter (75149) is at $56.72 which is currently 29% off the normal price of $79.99. This is a better price point since it’s mostly a recolor of Poe’s X-Wing Fighter (75102).

The other LEGO Star Wars set that I think is at a good price is the TIE Striker (75154). It’s almost at it’s lowest price ever on Amazon but good enough to recommend. It currently sits at $44.18 which is 37% off the regular price of $69.99.

The LEGO Group Achieves 100% Renewable Energy Target Three Years Early

Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that they have reached their 100% renewable energy target three years ahead of schedule. After spending about a DKK 6 billion/£700m investment over four years into offshore wind farms, the output from these projects have exceeded the energy use from the LEGO factories, offices, and stores globally.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Video Game Teaser Trailer

Even better, they use the same sign-up form each month so all you need to do is bookmark this link, and you can enter every month to win another set!

The winner will be drawn on June 1st and contacted for their mailing address. On that same day, the June giveaway set will be announced and the sign-up form will be reset for the next drawing.

LEGO set 6772 Alpha Team Cruiser was the second smallest set from the first wave of Alpha Team sets in 2001. The line consisted of 6 different sets and one of the most interesting things about it was that in order to assemble the entire lineup of the Alpha Team, each set needed to be purchased. The villain, Ogel, was available in both the largest and the smallest set, but Radia, Dash, Crunch, Charge, Cam, Flex, & Tee Vee were each produced once through the 4 protagonist sets. The Cruiser features Radia and is the only set to feature her in the original costume. The parts are all fairly common except for the Purple grille tiles which were only featured in this set and the original Mos Espa Podrace from Star Wars. Gasgano’s podracer contained 13 of them! But that’s a set for another day.

How a LEGO Star Wars Set is Created

A particular LEGO set takes lots of time and planning to get from the development stage to store shelves. During Star Wars Celebration 2017, LEGO Star Wars Senior Art Director and Brand Manager Rob Johnson did a panel to discuss the development process of how a LEGO Star Wars set was created which normally the public doesn’t get to see.

Solid Brix Studios was able to attend the exclusive panel and he has posted the whole panel on his channel. If you have some time, I highly suggest checking out the video as it does have some great detail of how a LEGO set is made.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608) Polybag Hints at New Video Game Coming

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30608)

It looks like there’s a new The LEGO Ninjago Movie polybag that has surfaced on eBay in Germany featuring Lloyd (30608). The polybag features the Green Ninja in a kendo outfit sort of paying homage to the kendo outfits back in 2012.

If you look closely at the bottom left corner, there’s a code H7HGT3 which may suggest that this Lloyd (30608) will be a promotional polybag for The LEGO Ninjago Movie game. Although nothing has confirmed at this time of a game, Arthur Parsons over on Twitter may or may not have been dropping subtle hints about a new game coming soon. E3 is just over a month away and he has stated that he will be there at the convention so I’m assuming there will be an announcement during that time.

The little code on the corner is a trend that has been going on with standalone LEGO video games including the Plastic Man (5004081) from LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, Silver Centurion (5002946) from LEGO Marvel Avengers, and Finn (30605) from LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

LEGO Minecraft Releases Teaser Images of Largest Set for Theme

LEGO Minecraft

In the past few days, the LEGO Minecraft social media sites have been teasing their next set which they are calling the largest set ever for the theme. So far, I’ve gathered four images which shows various sections of the Mountain Cave (21137) such as the mines as well as well as a railway. There’s also some new characters and mobs that haven’t appeared yet in previous LEGO Minecraft sets like the wolf and the charged creeper.

The little teasers are a lead up to the official reveal some time in the next few weeks. On the June 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, there will be a VIP early access set from June 15-30 and my guess is that it will be this LEGO Minecraft Mountain Cave (21137) set. Stay tuned for more updates to this mysterious set.

LEGO Star Wars Toys R Us May the 4th Princess Leia Review

LEGO Star Wars Toys R Us May the 4th Princess Leia

Today was the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event at Toys R Us in which participants could build Princess Leia. I’m on vacation but was able to attend the TRU here and build her. The set is very simple with no exclusive parts so you can easily build her. I do like that 33291 brown flower pieces are used for her hair buns instead of 1×1 stud pieces.

I must say that the Princess Leia build is actually pretty bad compared to other TRU builds that they’ve done before especially for the Star Wars 40th anniversary. The event itself, however, was very organized. As a reader said before, the intent was there but was poorly executed.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449) Polybag Review

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has hit theaters here in the US and to commemorate the movie, LEGO has produced a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes polybag for it with The Milano (30449). This polybag consists of 64 pieces and according to the May 2017 Store Calendar, you can get it for free with purchases of $35 or more from May 8-21, while supplies last.

This is the third version of the ship with The Milano Spaceship Rescue (76021) from the first movie and the latest one being in The Milano vs. The Abilsk (76081).

Build

The build is straight-forward and it utilizes some fairly rare parts that are included with the set. The rarest one is the trans-white 2×2 sloped piece used for the windshield. Next is the newer 2×3 shield tile piece. Finally there’s the Beam 1M with three Balls Ø5,9 which was mostly used for the Nexo Knights Battle Suits.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

The design is pretty spot-on to the larger version of the ship. The front has the unique V-shaped nose while the six wings use the aforementioned Beam 1M piece. If you look closely at the front of one side of the ship, there’s a medium azure stud piece to give some detailing.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Milano (30449)

The thrusters on the back are on Technic pins so they can be angled straight back or downwards.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) 2017 May the 4th Polybag Review

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

The annual LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotional event starts in just a few hours and usually we get exclusive minifigures as part of the promo but this year, LEGO has decided to do something different. For this year, we get a brick-built R2-D2 (30611) polybag to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars. The polybag consists of 70 pieces and you can get it for free with purchases of $50 or more in LEGO Star Wars products.

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

When the set was revealed to be this year’s promotional polybag, there were differentiating opinions on it. Some welcomed the change while others are somewhat disappointed that it’s not an exclusive minifigure since there are a ton of other characters that could be great minifigures.

Build

R2-D2 is actually a pretty decent build with the body useing SNOT techniques to create the look. You actually build it upside-down before turning it back over to finish it up at the end. The head piece is exclusive to this polybag and there’s printing all around it. It is attached in the middle of the body with a Technic pin so it can actaully rotate around. Just a side note, the head is the same size as the R4-P17 Astromech droid head from the UCS Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter (10215).

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

There is some articulation at the legs and feet using Technic pins as the main things to connect the legs to the body and the feet to the legs. There’s also the retractable central leg in the front to show R2-D2 … Continue

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309) Officially Revealed

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309)

LEGO has finally officially revealed the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309). The set will consist of 1,969 pieces and retail for $119.99 and it stands at about 1 meter high (1:110 scale). This will be the largest LEGO Ideas set to date and will be available starting on June 1. Yes, it will come out the same day as the LEGO Creator Carousel (10257) which was announced yesterday.

If you didn’t notice, there’s one little Easter egg hidden in the piece count. As I mentioned above, it has 1,969 pieces and that number is also the year that the Apollo 11 landed the first humans on the moon with Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin.

LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309)

Make history with the LEGO® NASA Apollo Saturn V, the first rocket to put people on the Moon! Build the 3 stages of this stunning meter-high rocket and display it on the stand or launch into orbit. Offload the S-IC and S-II sections, dock the lunar lander with the command service module, and complete a successful Moon landing mission!

The set also includes 3 stands to display the model horizontally, 3 new-for-June-2017 astronaut microfigures for role-play recreations of the Moon landings, plus a booklet about the manned Apollo missions and the fan designers of this educational and inspirational LEGO Ideas set.

Felix and Valérie’s collaboration was guided by a shared passion for space exploration

There’s a limited number of spots available for that day so sign up if you wish to attend. I’m not sure if the rules have changed and if walk-ups are accepted. I would call your store to confirm.

LEGO Creator Fairground Carousel (10256) Rumored for June Release

In the last few years except for 2016, LEGO has released some LEGO Creator D2C Fairground sets. There’s a rumor of a Fairground Carousel (10256) that has been floating the LEGO community for a few months now and it looks like it will be coming on June 1 according to Tragic Banjo over on Eurobricks. LEGO might have been dropping hints since March when the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) was revealed. If you checked out the designer video, you can see Jamie Berard doing circling motions which could suggest a carousel spinning.

If this is true, it will join the Fairground Mixer (10244) and the Ferris Wheel (10247) as the sets in this LEGO Creator Fairground subtheme and will be the second large scale carousel that will be released with the first one being the Grand Carousel (10196) from 2009. Jamie Berard was the designer for both of the recent fairground sets. There’s no word on pricing or piece count at this time. I’m going to assume that the official reveal will be sometime in May with early VIP access as well.

Thanks to CM4Sci for the heads up.

LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive (75191)

Toys R Us Hong Kong has posted the official images of the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive (75191). The set has four minifigures including R4-P17, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, and Jango Fett. I assume the build is based on the Episode II: Attack of the Clones where Obi-Wan is going to Kamino where he discovers the Clone Army. I’ve been told the set will go for about $129.99 but we’ll see.

Rumors of LEGO Nexo Knights Being Cancelled

LEGO Nexo Knights

Here’s a very interesting rumor coming out of Brickset regarding the future of the LEGO Nexo Knights theme. They are reporting that Blocks magazine has gotten information that the theme is “being cancelled and the summer sets may not even be released.” There was no source given and I haven’t heard anything about the theme being cancelled from the usual sources so I am somewhat skeptical about it.

We did see the summer 2017 sets at the New York Toy Fair so we know there are sets coming but that also doesn’t mean much. This could also mean the wave will have a short shelf life and be fazed out, similar to LEGO BIONICLE and LEGO Mixels in their last waves. These sets were only sold at LEGO Brand Stores, Shop@Home, and some specialty stores.

The LEGO Nexo Knights theme was the latest “Big Bang” theme and usually has a three year run with the exception of LEGO Ninjago which surpassed everyone’s expectations and is going on their seventh year. If the theme is actually cancelling after two years, it’s speculation that it not performing as well as LEGO expected.

For me personally, I think the theme is pretty cool and I really dig the color schemes which reminded me of the Ice Planet 2002 theme. There were also lots of new parts introduced, the shield piece for example, which fans liked and gave tons of inspiration for MOCs.

Again, these are only rumors until there’s definite proof the theme is being cancelled so don’t panic … Continue

LEGO Ideas Surf Rescue Achieves 10,000 Supporters

LEGO Blacktron II Inspired UCS Slave One

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I (75060) has inspired many color swaps of the ship from Jango Fett to the White Prototype Boba Fett. One build that I came across on Reddit by Alg3braic is a LEGO Blacktron II inspired Slave One and I was drawn to it because I’m very partial to the Blacktron theme from the late 80s to the early 90s.

The build uses mostly the design of the official UCS Slave I but there’s also some customization to it especially the canopy area which took some ingenuity to implement the Blacktron canopy piece. Check out more images of the set in the link above.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30542) Found at Target

A reader has emailed me that they have found The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Batwing (30542) polybag at Target stores. The polybag was originally a LEGO Store and Shop@Home promotion with purchases of $35 or more back in December-January but it looks like Target will now start carrying it as well. I wasn’t told where it was found but I’m assuming it is in the checkout aisles or somewhere near the LEGO section of the store. If you didn’t get a chance to pick it up a few months ago, here’s your second chance. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.

There is now an official image of the box art for the upcoming LEGO Speed Champions McLaren 720S (75880) coming out of Carscoops. We’ve already seen the product images last month which shows that instead of the drivers we’re used to getting, we’re actually getting a designer and his desk with a drawing board. There’s no word on piece count or pricing but I assume it’ll be at $14.99 like the other single car sets.

New Chinese Brick Company Producing AFOL Sets

Here’s something that has popped up on my feed and also readers emailing in about it but I questioned whether I should post about it or not. You may have heard of a few well-known builders in the LEGO community like The Arvo Brothers, Firas Abu-Jaber, Paul Boratko (CrowKillers), and Bangoo H, many of which have been featured on The Brothers Brick and other LEGO sites. Their LEGO builds are an envy of many builders who have tried to replicate themselves or take inspiration from.

The 29th Guangzhou Toy & Hobby Fair kicked off yesterday and there’s a Chinese “new” brick company who has appeared to be making sets based on the designs of some of the builders I’ve named above. In a post on Facebook, there are images of a company called Xingbao (星堡) who is owned by Meizi Model (美致模型), which is the same company that owns LEPIN, at the convention displaying some of the sets based off of the AFOL designs including The Arvo Brother’s Kaneda’s Bike and Alien, Bangoo H’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky music box, Fira’s Volkswagen Beetle, Ford GT, and Rolls Royce Springfield Roadster, and Paul’s Balisong supercar, just to name a few. It also appears that some of the designers have confirmed to have licensed their models out to the company.

This new company is essentially helping AFOLs who want their models become easier to obtain by their followers who do not have time to BrickLink the parts or whatnot. This whole thing … Continue

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 (71018) Highwayman Revealed

It looks like the Series 17 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71018) have started to show up early in some places and we have a first look at the secret Highwayman minifigure that is included with wave. A user named lego_collector_dad has gotten a hold of the Highwayman at LEGOLAND Billund and he shown off the minifigure over on his Instagram page.

He has a black torso with dual molded legs. To complete the look he has a tricorn hat with a bandana, and a cape. The accessories include two Flintlock pistols. I’m not sure of all the secrecy behind it but he appears to be a fairly generic character.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

It seems like the LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) was a really popular promotion because it has now sold out on Shop@Home less than a week after it started. The promotion has been replaced by the LEGO City Police Helicopter (30351) and this promo will run until the end of the month.

More Details of Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon

It looks like there’s more information coming out today that gives more details of the rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. Stash2Sixx over on Eurobricks has reported that it will be at least $600 and it will be released around October. He also has given some info about some of the minifigures that will be included in the set such as Hoth Leia, Hoth Han, Chewbacca, Finn, Rey, BB8, Old Man Han, and possibly a Mynock. These minifigures correspond to the ones my source gave me a few months ago of the original trilogy minifigures.

If you haven’t heard of Stash2Sixx before, they have given correct information before in the past about LEGO Star Wars sets so I consider them be a credible source.

LEGO Ideas Teases More of Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket

LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket

LEGO has teased another image from the LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket set but this time it is the Apollo Lunar Module sitting in the background. Last week, part of the Saturn-V Rocket was shown off so it looks like LEGO is staying true to the project and including everything so far that was proposed.

If you think about it, it is the second Friday in a row that LEGO has done a teaser for this set so hopefully the trend continues. The LEGO Ideas Apollo 11 Saturn-V Rocket will be landing soon in June.

LEGO Minecraft Teases Largest Set Ever for Theme

LEGO Minecraft

Earlier today, LEGO did a teaser post for LEGO Minecraft announcing they will be releasing the largest set ever for the theme. It is most likely that the set will be The Mountain Cave (21137) which I believe is the upper-right area of the overworld map. The map pretty much shows every Minecraft set that has been released so far except for that area so I’m taking an educated guess that it’ll look somewhat like that.

Currently, the largest set in the LEGO Minecraft theme is The Village (21128) which comes in at 1,600 pieces and retails for $199.99 so this new D2C set will have more parts. There’s no word on when the reveal will be but you’ll be sure that I’ll be reporting about it when it does.

LEGO Dimensions The Goonies Level Pack (71267) Octopus Teaser

TT Games has been fairly quiet about some of the upcoming LEGO Dimensions expansion packs but today they released a little teaser of The Goonies Level Pack (71267). As you can from the clip below, it shows part of the game at One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship and next to it is the octopus from the deleted scene in the movie. If the deleted scene octopus is in the game, I’m sure there will be more Easter eggs in the expansion pack.

The Goonies Level Pack (71267) will be available on May 9 and it includes the Sloth minifigure along with One-Eyed Willy’s Pirate Ship and the Skeleton Organ as the builds. The alternate builds for the ship are the Fanged Fortune and the Inferno Cannon while the Skeleton Organ can turn into a Skeleton Jukebox and Skele-Turkey.

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season Two Trailer

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures

The new trailer for season two of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures has been released. We can see some of the upcoming sets in action in with the Tracker I (75185) and The Arrowhead (75186). The new season introduces a new character called M-OC Hunter Droid which has been unleashed by Emperor Palpatine to find the Freemakers. Season two will premiere this summer on Disney XD and you can check out the trailer below.

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.

LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack Sales on Amazon

If you’ve been thinking of picking up LEGO Dimensions, Amazon has some good sales on the Starter Packs. The PlayStation 4 version, which has the exclusive Supergirl minifigure, is 50% off the regular price. The XBox One version is also 50% but does not have Supergirl included. The PlayStation 3 version is 40% off ($47.65) while the XBox 360 version is 36% off.

If you’re worried about the rumor of LEGO Dimensions ending, I’m pretty sure that TT Games won’t just completely shut it down. You’ll still be able to play the game but just won’t get any more updates. Besides, there’s is still plenty of content in the near future with The Goonies Level Pack (71267), Hermoine Fun Pack (71348), and LEGO City Fun Pack (71266) all coming out in May and Powerpuff Girls, Beetlejuice, and Teen Titans Go! in the distant future.

Have We Seen the Last of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Exclusive Minifigures?

This year, LEGO will end their six year run of exclusive minifigures for the annual May the 4th promotion with the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag as it was confirmed on the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar. For many collectors, including me, the May the 4th promo is one of the times of the year where we are excited to see what characters we’re going to get as a minifigure that we normally wouldn’t get in a regular set. The Star Wars canon as well as the Expanded Universe is massive and there is an unlimited number of characters that could be turned into buildable characters like R2-D2.

Does this year’s polybag start a new trend for buildable characters for future LEGO May the 4th promotions or do you think this is just a one-off thing for 2017 of LEGO testing the waters for these kind of polybags? Keep in mind, this post is about the May the 4th promotions and not ones that are for other times of the year.

Here’s a list of the May the 4th LEGO minifigures from previous years:

2011: Shadow ARF Trooper (2856197)


2012: TC-14 (5000063)


2013: Hoth Han Solo (5001621)


2014: Darth Revan (5002123)


2015: Admiral Yularen (5002949)


2016: First Order Stormtrooper (30602)

LEGO April Fool’s Day 2017 Roundup

April Fool’s Day is pretty much over and the LEGO community again this year came together to spread hoaxes and playing jokes on their readers. There’s a little recap of some of the things that happened today around the LEGO community. You can see from the list below, there’s similar topics from various sites. If there’s something that I missed, let me know and I’ll try to add it to the list.

For my annual joke, I reported that I would start reviewing LEPIN sets but that will never happen. Many of you guys caught on which isn’t that surprising.


Adeel Zubair

A reader named Adeel made The Simpsons The Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop (71062) and made it seem that LEGO tweeted it out.


BrickFinder

They reported that Beijing would be opening up the first LEPIN certified store.


BrickLoot

The announced the MEGA Brick Loot box which contains a build that had over 20,000 pieces.


BrickNerd

BrickNerd also put out a “new” LEGO Star Wars set with The Destruction of Jedhi (040117) that only consisted of tan bricks and would only be available during the May the 4th promotion.


Brickset

They had two posts for April Fool’s with the first one being a new LEGO Game of Thrones theme complete with set descriptions.

Their other post was “confirming” a new UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) with an image of Shop@Home with an image and pricing of the set.


BricksFans

They did a post of Google & LEGO joining together for a Google Build Assistant.… Continue

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) Review

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

For the whole month of April, LEGO Stores and Shop@Home will be giving out a free 58 piece LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) polybag with a $20 LEGO Friends purchase, while supplies last.

One of the more interesting things about the set is the packaging. It uses the newer softer plastic that you can easily tear open to access the contents.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

The build is very simple using plates as the base and tiles along with jumper plates to get the smooth top. There are five white bunnies and five light gray hamsters to use as play pieces. The hamster is actually very rare as this is only the second set that it has appeared in with the other being the Heartlake Riding Club (41126) which only has one of them included. Also fairly rare are the 1×1 dark magenta tiles and the 4×10 lime green baseplates.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

As the set name states, this is a Tic Tac Toe board in which a player has to line up three pieces horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265)

As I mentioned before, the LEGO Friends Tic Tac Toe (40265) polybag is free with a $20 LEGO Friends purchase throughout the month of April. It’s a nice little travel-sized game that kids can take along during trips. For the collectors, some of the rarer pieces may be of interest.

The Brick Fan Expanding to LEPIN Set Reviews

There’s a point in time where you have to take a step back and see where you are in life and at this point, I’ve decided to expand The Brick Fan. A few people have asked me whether I would do this or not but I think it’s about time that I do so. I’ve decided to go ahead and also review LEPIN sets.

We’ve all seen a company called LEPIN which many call a knockoff company. Essentially, they take official LEGO sets and make bootleg sets out of them with subpar plastics. There aren’t that many reviewers of LEPIN sets and I feel that I should take this opportunity to test them out and let the public know how I feel about them. I’ve set up a website called The LEPIN Fan for my the reviews and I encourage you to head on over and check it out.

LEGO doesn’t do many exclusives for Star Wars Celebration but for this year, they will have something in store for attendees. There’s no word yet on what the exclusives will be but I assume we’ll hear something soon.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) Review

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

Coming on April 1, LEGO will be having a promotion for the LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252) which is a smaller version of the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) released last year. This set will be available with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last, from April 1-15. Designed by long-time LEGO designer, Mel Caddick, the 141 piece set looks to be another great set by her. The contents of the box include two unnumbered bags, the instructions, and a small sticker sheet.

The front of the box has the same background as the larger Beetle to give it a consistant look considering they’re both the same vehicle. The back just shows another angle of the set.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

Build

The build of the Volkswagen Beetle is very simple as it pretty much is just stacking bricks, as these smaller sets are usually like. There isn’t any difficult building techniques used so the build time should be relatively short.

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

LEGO Creator Mini Volkswagen Beetle (40252)

As I mentioned before, there are stickers with the set and as an official licensed product of Volkswagen, there is a sticker of the Volkwagen logo right in the front. For the license plate stickers, its spells out M31 OD4 which spells out Melody. If you’re not familar with license plate stickers, the designers usually throw in Easter eggs that relates to them and in this case, the designer’s first name.

The rest of the stickers are for the side rear windows, the tail lights, and for the surfboard which again has the same color scheme as the … Continue

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) to be May the 4th Promo Polybag

LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611)

It looks like we have some confirmation of what the May the 4th LEGO promotion will be for this year and we’ve already seen images of it before. A reader has emailed in details and they were told that it will be the brick-built LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag. You can get it for free during the May the 4th promotion with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $75 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

I’ve been told that it this year’s promotional polybag would be a little different from previous years when they were exclusive minifigures and it appears that the brick-built R2-D2 will do just that. If you don’t wish to make a purchase during the May the 4th promo, you can build your own as the instructions have been online for a while. The only downside is that you have to substitute the front detailing as the printed 1×1 tiles are exclusive to this set. We’ll definitely confirm it when the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few days.

Thanks to Sid for the info.

LEGO Mascot Collectible Minifigures BrickHeadz

Collectible Animal Suit Brickheadz (2017)

The mascot LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been very popular with fans. The LEGO BrickHeadz sets have also been surprisingly popular with builders. What happens if you combine the two?

Jared Chan has done just that and has recreated some of the mascot minifigures from years past in the BrickHeadz style. These characters include Piggy Guy from Series 12, Bunny Suit Guy from Series 7, Bumblebee Girl from Series 10, and Chicken Suit Guy from Series 9. These look very cute and is a new way to look at the minifigures.

LEGO Dimensions Sued for Patent Infringement

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

Here’s something that’s interesting coming out of the LEGO Dimensions subreddit. Apparently a company called FigureFun LLC is suing LEGO and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for patent infringement. The company states two patents, 7,001,276 and 7,338,377, are infringing on their rights and are seeking damages.

Users in the subreddit quickly debunked that FigureFun is using a practice called patent trolling. This is when a company obtains the rights to patents to make a profit from licensing or through the courts which is what is happening here.

According to public records, FigureFun LLC was set up on April 4, 2016, a whole year after LEGO Dimensions was introduced so this lawsuit is coming in pretty late. It’ll be interesting to see the outcome of this lawsuit, if any.

You can read up on the whole lawsuit here.

LEGO Speed Champions McLaren 720S (75880)

A few weeks ago, LEGO revealed the new LEGO Speed Champions McLaren 720s (75880) and there are now official images of the set.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Rumored to be Costume Party Theme

LEGO news has been really quiet the past few weeks or so but here’s something about the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures that may interest you. A user on Eurobricks has stated that Series 18 could be another themed-based set with it being a “Costume Party.”

We’ve gotten a plethora of costumed LEGO minifigures in the past which have proven to be very popular with collectors like the Banana Guy, Shark Suit Guy, and Hot Dog Man, just to name a few. If the rumor is true, hopefully we see some designs that aren’t based off of previous minifigure costumes.

What do you guys think of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures being all costume based? Let us know in the comments below.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie D2C Ninjago City Set Coming?

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City

The LEGO Ninjago Movie trailer has been released over a month ago and so far there been little information about the sets that will accompany the movie. We do know that there will be quite a few sets featuring the mechs, which can be seen in the trailer, that were shown off at the 2017 New York Toy Fair but no photography was allowed.

One of my sources has told me about another set that will be coming out this summer as well which is a D2C Ninjago City set. There was no other info that was given except that it would be a pretty large set and could possibly be some sort of modular building.

As always, keep this as a rumor since there hasn’t been any other information on this set but I do feel confident about it.

LEGO set 6639 Raven Racer is a small set from the 1995 Race subtheme of Town. I remember this set as the first set I received that included the tool wheel sprue. In 1995, only 5 sets included the tool wheel, all in Dark Gray. It wasn’t until 1999 in the first Star Wars X-wing set that we received the tools in a new color, black. Raven Racer includes 1 minifigure, a dragster, and a tool rack. The tool wheel was also useful in giving you 6 clips in a set to hold the tools, a higher number of the same piece, especially in a set this small.

LEGO Dimensions Coming to an End?

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

Here’s an very interesting rumor involving the future of LEGO Dimensions and it’s not looking too good for the popular toys-to-life game. Bricks to Life has put out a report that LEGO Dimensions may be coming to an end sooner than we thought. We already knew that TT Games had promised three years of content but that looks like that may be cut short. I’ve seen various reports on it but I’ve held off until there were more information about it.

Bricks to Life was given this information from their sources and it also corresponds to what Just2Good stated last month which he took a lot of flak for. There’s also in-game content that may also suggest the same thing where some content were removed in the latest update. Furthermore, it was also stated that the company held a meeting to review their upcoming games and LEGO Dimensions went from top of the list to the bottom. Coupled that with the very deep discounts of the expansion packs recently, everything seems to be correlate that the game will be coming to an end.

Of course there’s still more LEGO Dimensions expansion packs that will be coming out in the near future including The Goonies Level Pack (71267), Hermione Fun Pack (71348), and the LEGO City Fun Pack (71266) which are all coming out in May. There’s also some unannounced expansion packs from various themes including The Powerpuff Girls, Beetlejuice, and Teen Titan’s Go! which we haven’t officially seen yet. Then there’s that Lord Vortech … Continue

LEGO Brand Stores to Start Carrying Store Exclusive Sets

The LEGO Batman Movie The Penguin Arctic Roller (70911)

Have you walked into a LEGO Store looking for a particular set but end up finding out that it is an exclusive set to another store? One example is The Penguin Arctic Roller (70911) which is actually a Target exclusive so you can only find that set there.

After many customer complaints, what I am hearing is that there will no longer be store exclusives and LEGO Stores will start carrying all the sets from a particular wave. This means that stores like Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us will no longer be the place to go for one set. Of course you can buy the set on Shop@Home but if you’re already at a LEGO Store, why wait for shipping on it.

There’s no word on when the change will take effect but I’m already seeing the Arkham Asylum (70912) at LEGO Stores which was previously a Toys R Us exclusive.

The LEGO Movie Sequel to be a Space Action Musical?

News on The LEGO Movie Sequel has been somewhat quiet since it’s been pushed back to 2019 a new interview might be shed some new details for the movie. The LEGO Batman Movie director Chris McKay appeared on the Shanlian on Batman podcast and he revealed that The LEGO Movie Sequel could be a lot different from the first.

LEGO 2 is going to be this big musical and space action movie. They need a lot of the writing, a lot of development, not only with script development, but development with songwriters. So it was very ambitious to get that movie out.

If the sequel is indeed going to be a space action musical movie, there will no doubt feature a lot of Benny the Spaceman, voiced by Charlie Day in the first movie. Of course, this could very well change again between now and 2019 so don’t get your hopes up too high since there has already been a lot of changes already so far.
