“New” LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Screenshots

July 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are a couple of “new” LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game screenshots of some more of characters that will be in the game. Why did I put new in quotes? It’s because if you were at the LEGO Marvel panel at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, you’ve probably already seen these shots from the character reveal and gameplay. For the individuals who didn’t get to see the panel, TT Games has released some screenshots of Wolverine, Jean Grey, Silver Samurai, and Viper. All four characters are available as playable characters. Also, don’t forget there is still time to pre-order the game from Walmart and get the Iron Patriot minifigure and the Gun Mounting System (30168). If you’re across the pond in the UK, the minifigure is available through Amazon.co.uk. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will be released on October 22 here and November 15 in the UK.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game UK Pre-Order Bonus

July 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Walmart Pre-order - Iron Patriot

Our friends over at Brick Fanatics is reporting that the UK will have the Iron Patriot minifigure (30168) as a pre-order bonus for purchasing the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game from Amazon.co.uk. It looks like that you can also get the Iron Patriot with the handheld versions of the game including the Playstation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo DS. The game will be available in the UK on November 15th.

If you’re here in the States, Walmart is still offering the minifigure as the pre-order bonus but it is only available for the console system versions. Over here, the game is available on October 22nd, however, I do wish that Amazon here offered the same bonus as the on in the UK.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2013 Extended Gameplay Video

Stan Lee in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game

Arthur Parsons of TT Games did an interview with GameSpot after the Marvel Video Games panel yesterday and showed off a 20 minute gameplay video of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. If you were following our live report on the game yesterday on Twitter, you would’ve seen that it was announced that Stan Lee would also be a playable character. In the extended gameplay video, you can some some of Stan’s superpowers. Since he is the almighty Stan Lee, he can pretty much have any superhero powers such as Spider-Man’s web slinging. Another of his moves is a flame torch coming from his eyes kind of like a Cyclops/Human Torch combination. It was also mentioned that he has a Mr. Fantastic move as well but it wasn’t shown. In an IGN video, Stan is shown to have an adamantium skeleton. Finally, Stan gets to “Hulk” up and turn into Stan Hulk. The body is exactly the same as the original Hulk character but he has Stan’s white hair instead. The animation of him changing back and forth is awesome. The LEGO Marvel Video Game is now available for pre-order at Walmart which includes the Iron Patriot bonus minifigure in the Gun Mounting System (30168). The game will be shipping on October 22 from them. Below is just a partial list of over 100 playable characters that are in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes:

Spider-man
Thor
Wolverine
Hulk
Human Torch
Mr. Fantastic
Nick Fury
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Captain America
Phil Coulson
Deadpool
Iron Man Mark … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2013 Day 2 Recap

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2013 Exclusive Spider-Man Minifigure

On the second day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, it went mostly well at the LEGO booth. The main concern was how the LEGO staff was planning to control the overcrowding issue for the exclusive minifigure giveaway that was stopped abruptly yesterday. The management team figured out one way to deal with the issue was to hold the raffle outside in the West Terrace of the Convention Center. From what it looked like, it was a pretty successful raffle. The only thing that was bad about it was that it was outside and the sun was beaming down on our heads. The line moved pretty quickly and there were two staff members handing out the raffle tickets. After that, you just have to wait until 3:30pm for the LEGO booth to announce the winners. There was also a bonus drawing for the rest of yesterday’s Spider-Woman minifigure. When the winners were announced, I tweeted that I was one of the winners of exclusive The Amazing Spider-Man minifigure! After I calmly picked up my prize, I posted an image on my Instagram account to prove that I was actually a winner. Above is the picture I took after I got back home. In other giveaway news, there another minifigure that was given out to Comic Con attendees. FBTB reported that an Azog minifig was given out somewhere that was not the LEGO booth. We’re still not sure where or how to get Azog as of this time.

Today, LEGO also revealed the new LEGO … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2013 Day 1 Recap

July 18, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Day 1 at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con is finally over and I haven’t been this tired in a very long time. Let me do a recap on all things LEGO related today at the Con. The biggest news there was probably the failure of the exclusive Spider-Woman minifigure giveaway. As you may have seen in my earlier post, the LEGO floor staff had to shut down the whole thing 15-20 minutes into the giveaway due to overcrowding. If you’ve been to SDCC before, once there’s any sort of overcrowding, they would be forced to shut down things like this. As a result, there are still some left over raffle tickets left over for Spider-Woman and will be given out tomorrow morning at 11:30 but this time it’s at the West Terrace. At that time, LEGO will also be giving out tickets for the Amazing Spider-Man minifigure as well. At 3:30pm, check if you have a winning ticket on LEGOraffle.com and if you do, head back to the LEGO booth to pick up your precious.

Another thing that I noticed that was a little out of control was the line for the LEGO The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End and the LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter exclusive sets. People were lining up for the minifigure giveaway when the line was for tickets to get the two sets. This confusion led to a line that snaked a couple of times around the whole booth. There were only a limited amount of each set … Continue
