Possible LEGO 2016 Set List?

July 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 32 Comments

An interesting list popped up over on BrickPicker that could be a potential list of the first-half 2016 LEGO sets for various themes. This list does correspond to earlier rumors of some City and Ninjago sets for next year. The list was scrambled when I looked at it so I tried to organize it into separate themes. If you look closely, there could be a hint to what the next modular set could be. Keep in mind this isn’t an official list.

July 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

French reporter toy site Mint in Box has revealed some rumored LEGO Star Wars Winter 2016 sets which will also include some Episode 7: The Force Awakens sets.

The Microfighters line will be continuing with six sets, two from The Force Awakens and four from Star Wars Rebels, AT-DP, The Ghost, TIE Advanced Prototype, and Wookie Gunship.

There will also be two more The Force Awakens system sets which I won’t name but you can find them if you do some research.

There will be four total LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs, one hero and villain for The Force Awakens and the other two for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game featuring the Empire and Rebels.

If that’s not enough, the second wave of LEGO Star Wars Battle Figures will be available, one of which is the First Order Stormtrooper which was revealed during SDCC.

Finally, there will be some sets based on the Original Trilogy and the Prequels: Hoth Attack, Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber, Droid Escape Pod, Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan’s Jedi Interceptor.

LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy Preview Images

July 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The official Star Wars website has given everyone a closer look into Vesa Lehtimäki’s newest book by DK Publishing, LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy. I’ve talked about it a little bit before but we now get to see some preview pages and what we can expect from the book. You can now pre-order the book on Amazon and it will be released on November 10th.

LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son’s favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga in an exciting new way.

Upcoming LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base Confirmed?

July 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

To further speculate that LEGO will be releasing a new LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base set in a few months, there’s a listing in Brickset’s database that may have just confirmed the set. There’s a direct-2-consumer set listed with set number 75098 which has a recommended retail price of $249.99. The dimensions of the box are also listed at 22.9 x 18.9 x 3.6 inches which is the same size as the Ewok Village (10236). That set had 1990 pieces so I’m thinking that the Hoth Echo Base will have around the same number of pieces.

If you haven’t watched the LEGO Star Wars mini movie that could be a teaser for the set, you can check it out over on the minisite. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.

Rumors of LEGO Star Wars Heading to LEGO Dimensions in 2016/2017

July 26, 2015 / Michael Tran / 6 Comments

Back in June, there was a statement by Disney vice president of production John Vignocchi during E3 about if fans would ever be seeing Star Wars coming to LEGO Dimensions and his answer was pretty much no. However today over on Eurobricks, Sir von Lego, who has been known to have insider information, has reported say that they have heard about LEGO Dimensions Star Wars expansion packs coming in late 2016/early 2017.

If you’ve been following anything Star Wars gaming-related, you would know that Disney will be releasing Star Wars characters as part of their Infinity 3.0 line which was announced back in May. Currently, there will be at least two waves of Star Wars Infinity 3.0 characters released this year but no word on any future expansions beyond that at this time.

Could LEGO and Disney have an agreement in place for Star Wars to come to LEGO Dimensions after 2015? Possibly, considering that the LEGO Star Wars license will be running until at least 2022 and there has been high interest from fans for LEGO Dimensions even before its release. Also keep in mind that Sir von Lego has been true to their word the past few years regarding rumors of future LEGO products so it’s pretty hard going against their word. If this rumor is true, we might hear something official at E3 or San Diego Comic Con in 2016 so stay tuned.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy by Vesa Lehtimäki (Avanaut)

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in March, I reported on a few upcoming LEGO DK books that will be released late this year. One of these books by Finnish LEGO photographer Vesa Lehtimäki, aka Avanaut, was tentatively called LEGO Star Wars: Through a Lens but the finalized title of the book is called LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy. It’ll retail for $24.99 and has 176 pages and will be released on November 10.

If you’re into LEGO photography, you’ve probably heard of Avanaut’s work as it has also been used in the LEGO The Hobbit set promotions. I think LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy will make a very nice coffee table book as it can show off what a person with a camera and LEGO can do with some imagination. Obviously, Avanaut is just a one person in the popular LEGO photography community and this book may be a stepping stone to introduce more people into the hobby.

LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son’s favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes.
