LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Robin’s Redbird Cycle (30166) Revealed

June 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Thatblockoguy over at the Brickset forum has posted an image of the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Robin’s Redbird Cycle (30166). The polybag will be a FREE Canadian Toys R Us giveaway with a $30 purchase or more of LEGO Super Heroes sets. In the footnote of the image, there is a max of 25 per store.

Back in January, Flickr user smokebelch posted an image (see below) of what could be the Redbird Cycle using the parts list from Brickset. It wasn’t far off from what the official polybag set looks like. There’s no word yet if the set will be available elsewhere in the world after this promotion.

Update: Closer look at the polybag.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Jor-El Polybag (5001623) Review

June 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO brand stores as well as Shop@Home is currently having a deal going on for the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Jor-El Minifigure Polybag (5001623). From June 1st to June 25th, while supplies last, you can get it for FREE with a purchase of $75 or more.

Minifigure

The polybag contains five pieces. The cape is not protected by any cardboard. The design of Jor-El looks very similar to Superman with some subtle differences. The whole costume is a little bit darker blue than his son’s. However, the “S” emblem on the middle of the chest is of brown. His cape is also brown colored instead of the red that superman has. Jor-El has a single-sided head with a serious expression. He has a full beard that is brown and grey. The hairpiece is also brown.

Results

The Jor-El minifigure is a very nice addition to any LEGO collection. Although the design is similar to Superman, the differences he has makes him a unique minifigure. Again, the minifigure is a bonus exclusive when you spend over $75 at LEGO stores and Shop@Home. The summer wave sets of many LEGO themes have been released so it can be pretty easy to get a couple of the polybags.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game E3 Gameplay Footage

June 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

GameTrailers has got exclusive demo gameplay footage of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes during E3 2013. In the video, Arthur Parsons, Game Director at TT Games, shows us parts of the Asgard stage as well as the character change screen. From what I can see, there are 21 different characters out of over 100 that are playable including Iron Man Mark I, Deadpool, Magneto, and Venom. The Human Torch can even do his “Flame On” move if you like. Each of the playable characters will be able to do their own abilities so you can get the whole Marvel experience out of the game.

It was also announced that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will available for the PlayStation 4 as well as the Xbox One when the new systems come out. More characters will be announced by TT Games bit by bit as the game gets closer to the release so there will be surprises awaiting you when you play the game. As I see more and more footage of the game, I just can’t wait until October rolls by so I play it.

New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Gameplay Footage

June 9, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we get closer to the release of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game, more images and videos from the developers have been released. TT Games has recently shot some new gameplay footage in the Asgard level. In the video, there are some new characters being played including Wolverine, Captain America, Thor, and Human Torch. If you remember, the first gameplay video showed Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man defending Grand Central Station in New York City against the Abomination and the Sandman.

The game will feature more than 100 playable characters across the Marvel Universe with each character having their own special abilities. There are also hundreds of alternative costumes that you can unlock for the characters.

The game is now available for pre-order and if you get it from Walmart, you’ll get an Iron Patriot minifigure (30168) as a bonus. The offer is only valid on platform systems so handheld owners, you’re out of luck there. Amazon and GameStop also have pre-order bonuses but they aren’t as good the Iron Patriot minifigure.

LEGO DC Universe Superman: Metropolis Showdown (76002) Review

June 5, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With the impending release of the Man of Steel movie this month, LEGO has decided to create sets based on the movie. Here we have the LEGO DC Universe Superman: Metropolis Showdown (76002). This set has 119 pieces and retails for $12.99, a $0.11/piece ratio. It is the smallest of the three Man of Steel sets that were released. The box contains two unnumbered bags, two instruction booklets, and a couple of loose pieces. We weren’t sure why a set so small had two instruction booklets when LEGO could’ve fit it all in one booklet.
