Last month, I talked about an upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Activity Book that was available for pre-order on Amazon which included a LEGO minifigure. We didn’t know what the minifigure was because it only had a placeholder for the image but Amazon has updated the image with the cover of the book and the minifigure that will be included is none other than Harry Potter himself. This version of him has the short legs and it looks like it will only be available with the Hogwarts Great Hall (75954) set so this activity book will be the cheapest way to get the school uniform version of the character.
A few hours ago, LEGO tweeted something very bizarre about something they’re working on. The tweet says:
We’ve been thinking about creating a special Secret (Service) model that could help an agent out in a tricky situation. Any ideas? @astonmartin #LicenceToBuild
The accounts for Aston Martin and even James Bond have replied to the tweet and posted the above image. Connecting the dots, LEGO is working with Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise to produce a set, possibly the famous Aston Martin DB5. What do you think the tweet by LEGO is referring to?
LEGO has announced that starting tomorrow, there will be a special LEGO documentary on the LEGO House coming to Netflix. The show takes you through the journey of how an idea from Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen come to reality. Check out the trailer below.
From 15th June you can discover the fascinating LEGO spirit manifested in the ultimate LEGO building on all NETFLIX servers globally.
The original idea behind the LEGO House came from Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen – a dream for the LEGO Group and for the town of Billund.
A unique journey into the making of a house built on a foundation of dreams. This is a construction diary unfolding the endless possibilities of the LEGO brick.
The concept has all the way been to build a LEGO House which would offer the most amazing hands-on experiences and inspire the guests to embrace creativity.
This includes a one of a kind architectural idea by BIG and Bjarke Ingels, a restaurant that serves the food by robots, 25 million LEGO bricks and dedicated staff that tries, fails and revises ideas in order to reach the company motto: Only the best is good enough.
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy by khehmeyer is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the rocket operation that made its maiden voyage back in February. The design has the center core along with the side boosters with a lot of features like removable boosters and engines as well as the payload. It is about 26 inches tall and has about 1,700 pieces. This is the first project to reach the Second 2018 Review Stage.
LEGO has revealed another LEGO BrickHeadz set with Minecraft Steve & Creeper (41612). This set joins a slew of other LEGO BrickHeadz sets that are set to come out in the next few months. There’s no word on piece count or pricing but I’m assuming it’ll retail for $19.99.
Earlier today at E3 2018, Arthur Parsons from TT Games did an interview on IGN to talk about the upcoming LEGO DC Super Villains Video Game. They showed off the first level of the game as well as some of the features of the Character Creator. If you’ve played LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, it’s similar to that but the character you create will be at the center of the game in which you can acquire and use various abilities.
In addition, they also showed off the character select screen in which it reveals some playable characters including Clayface, Cheetah, Deadshot, Gorilla Grodd, Harley Quinn, Joker, Killer Frost, Lex Luthor, Mercy Graves, Reverse Flash, and Solomon Grundy. Arthur also mentioned that the Ventriloquist will be playable as well.
There’s also the open hub world which will include Gotham, Metropolis, Arkham, Smallville, and Apokolips.
Lastly, the voice cast is said to be the very best voice cast ever to be in a LEGO game. Arthur does mention that “the Batman is the Batman” and “the Joker is the Joker.” Does this mean that Mark Hamill will be voicing the Joker again and Kevin Conroy as Batman? In another gameplay clip of the Joker and Harley Quinn, there is some dialog and it really sounds like Mark Hamill’s Joker.
Hopefully there will be a panel at San Diego Comic Con next month for even more reveals and special guests.
LEGO has revealed three more LEGO BrickHeadz sets from the Star Wars theme. Like with the other two packs, the Luke & Yoda set will be priced at $19.99 while the single characters will be $9.99 each.
