LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Today is the last day of New York Comic Con 2017 and during the Marvel animation panel, Marvel’s Vice President of Animation Cort Lane announced a new LEGO Marvel movie called Black Panther: Trouble in Wakanda. There was no other details released but if it’s a straight-to-DVD type of movie, it may possibly include an exclusive minifigure similar to past LEGO movies.

The second week of Bricktober 2017 has started at Toys R Us and for this week, The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939) minifigures are available. You can get it, in-store only, with a purchase of $50 or more on any LEGO set. You might be able to buy it by itself for $19.99 but that depends on your store. If not, you can buy it next week if there are any left over.
The Holiday 2017 LEGO catalog has started to reach home mailboxes and there are many set that are listed as “Last Chance!” meaning that they will be probably retiring at the end of the year or shortly after. These are in addition to the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) which LEGO posted about before on social media a few weeks ago.
In just a few short days on October 10, LEGO will have a new promotion for the exclusive VIP Set (40178). You can get this 205 piece set with a purchase of $125 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last.
This set seems to be one of the more higher quality GWP (gift with purchase) sets in recent years as it faithfully recreates the inside of a LEGO Store and the VIP card which are attached by some Technic pins. The promotion for the VIP Set (40178) will run from Tuesday, October 10-25.

I haven’t done a review in a while for The LEGO Ninjago Movie but the next set that I’ll be doing is the Flying Jelly Sub (70610). It has 341 pieces and retails for a decent $29.99 price point.
Here’s a LEGO reveal out of left field that we didn’t expect today. Over on Shop@Home, a couple of new LEGO Star Wars BrickHeadz have been revealed with Finn (41485) and Captain Phasma (41486). These two sets also have the “exclusive” tile that was first seen in The LEGO Ninjago Movie BrickHeadz. Both sets will be available starting on November 1 for $9.99 each.
