LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Arsenal Minifigure Giveaway

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this week, I wanted your guys’ opinion on what kind of giveaway I should do for the San Diego Comic Con 2015 exclusive minifigures that I have. It looks like there’s an overwhelming response that you guys want three separate giveaways so that’s what I’ll do. I’ll make each giveaway a seperate post using the Rafflecopter app and each giveaway will last about a week.

The first giveaway is for the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Arsenal Minifigure. Like I said before, these giveaways are worldwide so those who weren’t able to attend SDCC can have a chance to win as well.

The ways to qualify for the giveaway are stated in the Rafflecopter app below. While you’re at The Brick Fan Facebook Page, feel free to like, share, and comment on this contest post. The Twitter and Google+ entries are optional but they do give more entries for following my other social media outlets.

This particular giveaway will end on 7/31/15 at 11:59:59pm. After that, I’ll update this post again with the winner’s name and I’ll contact them directly.

Good luck everyone!

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) Polybag Review

July 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

One of the best LEGO polybags in 2015 in my opinion has to be the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303). We first heard about it back in December but there’s been an issue of it being publicly available for purchase. First it was on Toys R Us’ website but then it was taken down then there were rumors or it showing up at Target but that never happened, to my knowledge. As of this point, the only places I’ve heard of the polybag being available, besides eBay or BrickLink, was during the Daily Mail promotion, at a select few Toys R Us stores, and currently at LEGOLAND parks. It contains 47 pieces and normally retails for $3.99.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Minifigure

The only minifigure in the polybag is Joker himself. This version of the Joker has been in three previous sets so it isn’t that hard to find him but this polybag is easily the cheapest way to get him in a set. He wears his iconic purple suit with a green vest on the inside. He has a double-sided white face paint with a sinister smirk on one side and evil grin on the other. To finish his look, he has his green hair. THe Joker’s accessory is a pie.

Build

The bumper car build is pretty simple but is easily recognizable. It uses some clever SNOT building techniques to create the bumper areas. What’s nice is that it also has some wheels … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron

In my second review of the San Diego Comic Con 2015 exclusive sets, I have the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron that was sold to ticketed attendees on Friday. The set has 203 pieces and was sold for $40. This set recreates the brief scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron of Ultron sitting on his throne.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Throne of Ultron Building Instructions

July 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

On the second full day of San Diego Comic Con 2015, LEGO sold the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron set. Like with the Action Comics #1 Superman set, I’ve opened it up and have provided the building instructions for the set for you readers.

I can confirm there are no exclusive part to the Throne of Ultron set so that’s a sigh of relief for those who are wanting to recreate this set. However there are a few parts that are somewhat rare due to the fact that they have just been recently released this year in sets. For example, the fire pit bowl 6104346 is only in a couple of the newer LEGO Friends and LEGO Elves sets. Other than that, all the other pieces should be readily available on BrickLink if you’re sourcing your parts.

For the minifigures, Ultron is the same one as in The Quinjet City Chase (76032) while the Ultron Sentries are from Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) with their neck brace 6104350 from the The Hulk Buster Smash (76031). If you already have these sets, then you should have no problem putting together the minifigures.

Again, you can head over to my Flickr album to see larger building instruction images or you can download the PDF version to use at your convenience. On pages 28 and 29, I’m not sure why the steps go from 13 to 16 but it’s in order so there aren’t any missing steps.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Action Comics #1 Superman Review

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Exclusive Action Comics #1 Superman

This past Thursday, it was technically the first day of San Diego Comic 2015 and as a tradition, many people got in lines for various things but mainly panels and exclusives. LEGO again this year released a few exclusives for sale at the convention and the first day was for the limited edition LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Action Comics #1 Superman. This was a highly sought after set when it was first announced back in June.

The set recreates Joe Shuster’s 1938 iconic cover which features Superman’s first comic book cover. The LEGO set itself contains 145 pieces and retailed for $40. Some people like to keep the set sealed to preserve its “value” while for me, I opened it, and provided readers with the building instructions since there was many who were interested in building their own.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Exclusive Action Comics #1 Superman Building Instructions

July 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I few days ago at San Diego Comic Con 2015, a very good friend by the name of Ryan surprised me with one of the exclusive LEGO sets that were sold, the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Action Comics #1 Superman. I’m very grateful because I wasn’t able to pick up the set Thursday morning. Here I’m doing something that LEGO collectors and reseller will probably hate but people who weren’t able to get the set at SDCC or general LEGO fans will appreciate. I’ve opened the set and have provided every with instructions on how to build your own version of Action Comics #1.

Included with the instructions are the parts list so you can BrickLink the parts you need. Most of the parts are pretty common but there are some that have just been released and pretty rare at this time including the yellow 1×1 plate with clip 6071270, the yellow 6L bar 6109813, the dark green modified brick with curved top 6100223, and the front grill 6021687. The only brand new piece is the dark green roof 6135573 so you may have to find a substitute until that piece is more widely available. Superman is the same one we’ve had before. You can check out the full review of the set here.

Below are the images of the steps to create the set but if it’s too small, head on over to my Flickr album and you can check out larger images of them.

Update: After many, many, many requests, I have … Continue

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers SDCC 2015 Panel + Character Reveals

July 11, 2015 / Michael Tran

Earlier today at San Diego Comic Con 2015, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment held a panel for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. The panel was moderated by Greg Miller and the panel included Arthur Parsons, Matt Ellison, Bill Rosemann, and Mike Jones. During the panel, the legendary Stan Lee even made a special appearance and he announced that he is now a full fledged Avenger and he will be a playable character in the game including using the Iron Stan suit as well as the Stanbuster suit which has a built in typewriter. He’ll also make cameos throughout LEGO Marvel’s Avengers.

TT Games also revealed some more playable characters in the game including Wiccan, America Chavez (Miss America), Crossbones, Detroit Steel, and Sam Wilson’s Captain America. There will also be numerous villains that will be playable as well but they didn’t reveal anyone but did mention they worked harder on the villains’ skills more than the heroes’ skills. The panel also showed off a new way to change characters including Tony Stark’s different Iron Man Suits.

Finally, everyone who attended the panel was given a ticket and it was to redeem a cool exclusive LEGO Marvel’s Avengers t-shirt featuring Hulk beating up Loki.
