LEGO Super Heroes Bat-Signal Building Event at Toys R Us This Saturday

October 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Toys R Us Bat-Signal

As were one of the first sites to report this last month, Toys R Us stores will be having another building event this weekend and it is for a LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat Signal. This is a reminder that if you’re planning to attend this Saturday, October 18 from 12-2pm, get there early because I believe this building event will be more popular than last week’s build of the LEGO Star Wars Rebels Micro Ghost.

One of the cool things about the build is the Batman logo radar dish. It is pretty rare since it’s only in one set, The Batcave (6860).

“Event intended for children ages 5-up. Parental supervision required at all times. All giveaways and event materials available while supplies last and distributed to participating children only. Limit 1 per child. Quantities limited; no rain checks. All participating Toys “R” Us US locations.”

Will There Be LEGO Sets Based on the Civil War Storyline?

October 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Variety is reporting that Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to sign on for Captain America 3 which paves the way for a new phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Civil War storyline.

If you’re familiar with the Cival War storyline, it pits Tony Stark and Steve Rogers against each other when they feud over the Superhero Registration Act. The Act forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their true identities to the government. Of course, many characters are for it like Stark and others aren’t like Rogers. The Superhero Registration Act includes many Marvel characters in the storyline including Spider-Man. Currently the Spider-Man franchise is owned by Sony but there are rumors they may be sharing the franchise with Marvel so both companies can use the character.

Will this news translate into official LEGO sets? My guess is probably since this is one of the most popular storylines in Marvel’s history but it’s still too early to tell. Captain America 3 won’t happen for a few more years but it’s never too early to speculate. What minifigures do you want to see in sets if LEGO does produce sets based on the Civil War? For reference, here’s a list of characters who are involved in the storyline.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron Set Details

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 22 Comments

After a couple of days of fairly quiet news in LEGO world, Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has stirred up the pot with information about the 2015 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. He has detailed some of the minifigures and prices for next year’s lineup for the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets that will be released next summer. Sir von Lego has given credible information before so I do believe the info is trustworthy.

Avengers “Iron Man” (76029) – 14.99 EUR
Avengers Offroader, with Thor (76030) – 19.99 EUR
Avengers Hulk, Scarlet Witch (76031) – 34.99 EUR
Avengers Space Ship, Captain America (76032) – 79.99 EUR
Avengers Tower (76038) – 69.99 EUR
Avengers Fortress (76041) – 59.99 EUR

From the list above, it looks like we’re finally getting an Avengers Tower that everybody has been asking for and from the price listed, it’ll be a fairly large one with some playability features. Of course, those aren’t the final set names but at least there are some details of who will be included in the sets.

On an related/unrelated note, I’ve received word from a source that we will also be seeing another Avengers set that nobody has noted yet, the Avengers Helicarrier. It will be a UCS type set with the price point around $300 and will be available next summer. I’m going to take this information as a rumor for now but it’ll be cool for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to finally see a UCS set considering that we got one for LEGO … Continue

LEGO Custom Recovery/Solar Suit Superman Minifigure Review

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Recently, we received a package from Marc Bui, aka Power Brick, of a custom LEGO minifigure that he has created. The minifig is of Superman in his black Recovery Suit and if you saw our report from NYCC today on the new playable characters for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, you’ll notice the minifigure is based on the Solar Suit Superman. If you’re not familiar with this version of Superman, it was seen in the The Death and Return of Superman story arc where he uses this suit to absorb solar energy to help himself heal and recovery strength.

The minifig has very nice pad printing and comes with both front and back torso printing. The silver “S” symbol is prominently displayed across the chest with ab printing as well. The only little thing that’s “off” is the color for the neck area which is a darker shade of flesh than the head but it’s not a huge problem since sometimes the official LEGO minfigures also has this issue. The feet also has some silver printing on it. The head and hair wasn’t included so I used the ones from the Superman minifigure in the Man of Steel sets. Overall, it’s a nice variant to add to my collection and I want to thank Marc for sending it.

He is selling the Recovery/Solar Suit Superman in his eBay store as well as on BrickLink, with or without the head and hair pieces. The hair that he provides is the swept back tousled hairpiece. Check … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Rocket Raccoon Polybag (5002145) Found

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Unannounced polybags seem to be running amuck the past couple of days with another one showing up today. This new polybag is the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Rocket Raccoon (5002145) and it appears that it is from an upcoming Toys R Us promotion. It features Rocket Raccoon in his Guardians of the Galaxy outfit as well as the potted sapling Groot. There is also a small sticker sheet with three Nova Corp logos and three Ravagers logos. The Rocket Raccoon is the same minifigure that was in the San Diego Comic Con 2014 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Rocket’s Warbird.

There’s no word on how to get the polybag at this time but you can pick it up on eBay. There have been rumors that the Rocket Raccoon polybag (5002145) will come with the Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-Ray/DVD release at TRU. We’ll keep you updated. Thanks to David for the heads up.
