The LEGO Movie 2 Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

October 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Amazon has updated their listing of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet which includes an exclusive Emmet minifigure with the book. The minifigure is hard to see but it looks like the one on the cover of the book which shows Emmet’s outfit all tattered. Since it’s hard to see the minifigure through the clamshell glare, it’s hard to see if it is the same one as the ones shown in a few of the sets that were revealed for SDCC.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Keeping it Awesomer with Emmet will be released on January 3 and it retails for $11.33. You can pre-order it now and you’ll get the lowest price if it drops between now and then.

Thanks to Michael for the heads up!

September 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary has been recently released and Penguin Random House was kind enough to send over a review copy of the book. If you’re not familiar with the Visual Dictionaries, it is basically a guide of of all the LEGO sets and minifigures of a certain theme. The book has 128 pages and retails for $21.99 but as of this writing, it is on sale on Amazon for $14.71.

LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition Coming in 2019

July 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every year we get new LEGO Star Wars sets and for physical media, they have to release new material to keep the content updated. Amazon has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition that is tentatively slated to come out April 1, 2019. We’ve already gotten some visual dictionaries before for LEGO Star Wars such as the original one from 2009 and the Updated and Expanded version from 2014. It has been four years since the last book and will be almost five when the New Edition comes out next year. The book will cover a majority of the sets and minifigures that have been released the past few years. Like with many other LEGO DK books, there will be an exclusive minifigure that will be included but we probably won’t know who it is until sometime next year.

Currently, you can’t pre-order the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition just yet but I’ll let you know when you are able to.

Explore the LEGO® Star Wars™ galaxy with this visual guide to the minifigures, vehicles, and sets from the entire Star Wars saga. Discover every detail of the Millennium Falcon, look around the Death Star, examine Poe Dameron’s X-wing starfighter, and find out about all your favourite LEGO Star Wars minifigures – from Rey to Darth Vader.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary Exclusive Yellow Lantern Batman Minifigure

July 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in February, we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary that will be released in September. Of course, a majority of the DK books will include an exclusive minifigure and we now know who that character is thanks to Amazon France.

As you can see in the image above, the exclusive minifigure will be Yellow Lantern Batman of the Sinestro Corps from Forever Evil #4. Even though it was short-lived, LEGO decided it was obscure enough to produce a minifigure of the Yellow Lantern Batman.

You can now pre-order the LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary with a price of $21.99 but you do have the Amazon Pre-Order Price Guarantee so if goes cheaper between now and the release, you’ll pay the lowest price.

Thanks to Justin for the heads up!

LEGO Harry Potter Activity Book Minifigure Revealed

June 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last month, I talked about an upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Activity Book that was available for pre-order on Amazon which included a LEGO minifigure. We didn’t know what the minifigure was because it only had a placeholder for the image but Amazon has updated the image with the cover of the book and the minifigure that will be included is none other than Harry Potter himself. This version of him has the short legs and it looks like it will only be available with the Hogwarts Great Hall (75954) set so this activity book will be the cheapest way to get the school uniform version of the character.

Thanks to Brandon for the heads up!

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path Book Review

June 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

One of the new DK books that will coming out this week is the LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path that I’ve reported on a few months back. The style of the book is similar to the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books where you assume the role of a character, in this case U-3PO, and you make choices to determine the story’s outcome. LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path has 128 pages and retails for $19.99 and it releases on June 5.

Minifigure

As with a majority of DK books, there usually is an exclusive LEGO minifigure included but for this one, it isn’t an exclusive. With the book, we get U-3PO which was previously found in the 2016 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75146). Unless I missed something, it is the exact minifigure and is basically a color swap of most recent version of C-3PO.

Book

As I mentioned before, LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path is a story based book where you choose your way of how the story goes. There are three starting points to choose from, “Hunt the Sith,” “Fight the Empire,” or “Defeat the First Order.” For each page, it gives a short story in which you’ll have to find a way to continue the story by picking one of two ways and keep going until you find a good ending or it tells you to try again. There are more than 40 endings that you’ll be able to find.
