LEGO Bricktober 2017 Minifigures (5004941)

Today starts the last week of Bricktober 2017 at Toys R Us here in the US and with a purchase of $50 or more, you can get the LEGO Minifigures (5004941) set. This one, in my opinion, is one of the more high sought after Bricktober 2017 sets simply because of the minifigure selection. Even though they look they look like previously released minifigures, they are all slightly different from before.

As for the LEGO City Jungle (5004940) set from last week, some stores may sell them starting today for $19.99 each while some stores may hold off until the end of Bricktober to start selling them.

LEGO Pods Availability Revealed in 2017 Toy R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book

October 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

A few months ago, images of a couple of new LEGO “pod” polybags showed up online. These included The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916) and the LEGO Friends Ski Pod (5004920). There has been no information on their availability until now. Toys R Us has released their 2017 Toys R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book and inside it shows how to get them. According to the ad, you can get either one with a purchase of $30 or more on a LEGO construction set(s). Below are the RWeb# for the pods:

Kai’s Dojo Pod (327669)
Ski Pod (196631)

The ads don’t say when the two LEGO pods are available but the prices in the book start on October 26-November 18. I assume the two promos start and end on the same days as well. The LEGO deals 2017 Toy R Us Ultimate Guide to Play Toy Book start on page 72 and there are also more spread throughout the book.

How to Make LEGO a Minifigure Cardboard Costume

October 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

It’s almost Halloween and if you’re still looking for a costume and has some time, The Q has released a video on how to make a functional LEGO minifigure costume. This is probably one of the most accurate looking LEGO minifigure costumes I’ve seen but it does take some time and lots of material to create. One thing about it is that it can be used for other occasions besides Halloween and it’s a template for other characters if you want to expand on it.

LEGO City 2018 Dirt Road Pursuit (60172) Official Images

It looks like LEGO is getting ready to sell the 2018 sets on Shop@Home as they have uploaded the new LEGO City Dirt Road Pursuit (60172) to their servers. It’s a Police set but it does include a new net shooter feature which I believe other 2018 City sets will have in this subtheme. There’s also some new parts that it has including a new dirt bike mold and helmet, just to name a few.

Rumored LEGO Sets for Solo: A Star Wars Story

October 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

A few days ago, the Han Solo standalone film, got its title of simply Solo: A Star Wars Story which was confirmed by director Ron Howard who took over for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. As with other Star Wars movies, there will be some LEGO sets to accompany the film. According to “rumors,” there will be five system sets (75207, 75209, 75210, 75211, 75212) and possibly two buildable figures (75535, 75536) that will be released in April 2018 for it. According to one of my sources, there will be a Millennium Falcon, not surprisingly, but it will don a blue and white paint job.

We’ll probably won’t see images of these sets at next year’s Nuremberg and New York Toy Fairs since LEGO usually keeps licensed under wraps. Solo: A Star Wars Story will be in theaters May 25, 2018.

LEGO Worlds Monsters Pack DLC Arriving October 26

October 20, 2017 / Michael Tran / 1 Comment

It has been announced that the LEGO Worlds Monsters Pack DLC will be released on October 26. It was revealed during Gamescom 2017 that the Monsters DLC would be coming this month but didn’t specify a date. Like with other paid DLCs for LEGO Worlds, this one will also go for $3.99 but if you have the physical copy of the game on the Nintendo Switch, it will be included.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle D2C Set in 2018?

October 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 21 Comments

Back in August, I did a post reporting that we may be seeing the return of LEGO Harry Potter in 2018 which included sets as well as a Collectible Minifigure Series. There’s a new rumor floating around that we could also be seeing a direct-to-consumer set (71043) for the theme. One logical suggestion is that this D2C Harry Potter set may feature Hogwarts Castle similar to what LEGO did last year with The Disney Castle (71040). If this is true, the large scale Hogwarts can show various rooms or memorable scenes from the eight films.

Of course this is only currently a rumor so take it with a grain of salt until something official is announced by LEGO. Note that the image above is from the 2010 set which was one of my first reviews on The Brick Fan. How time flew by.
