Slowly, The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are being revealed and Toys R Us DK has published images of a new set that we can also get our hands on this summer. The set has no name at this time but it is set number 70610.
The set features minifigures of Jay, a civilian, Hammer Head, and Jelly. The main part of the set is the jellyfish flying submarine vehicle that’s seen in the trailer. Other part of the build is the little wooden boat.
Amazon is currently price-matching Walmart on the LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex’s AT-TE (75157). The set is going for only $77 which is the lowest it’s ever been and is $42.99 (36%) off the normal price of $119.99. The set includes minifigures of a Stormtrooper, Imperial Inquisitor Fifth Brother, Commander Gregor, Captain Rex, and Commander Wolffe. All of the minifigures, besides the Stormtrooper, are exclusive to this set. You also get the modified AT-TE as was seen in the Star Wars Rebels animated show.
My reviews of the summer 2017 wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets have started with The Ultimate Batmobile (70917) and the next one up is The Batwing (70916). The set has 1,053 pieces and retails for $89.99.
One of the more interesting LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets from last year was the Encounter on Jakku (75148). Unfortunately, it the normal price of $59.99 was a bit too high for what you get however Amazon currently has it on sale for $35.76 which is 40% off and is a fair price for it. The set consists of a brick-built Luggabeast and exclusive Teedo and Unkar Plutt minifigures which are the main highlights.

It looks like there’s a new LEGO Star Wars polybag that has surfaced that goes with the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) from a few months ago which is the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). Like before, the minifigure goes on a little stand with a background. There’s no word on when it will be available. The R3-M2 was available at LEGOLAND California and only recently in the UK and as far as I know, it hasn’t been available through regular channels like Shop@Home or Toys R Us at this time.
I’ve received the summer 2017 wave of The LEGO Batman Movie sets for review courtesy of LEGO and why not kick it off big with The Ultimate Batmobile (70917). The set contains 1,456 pieces and will retail for $139.99. The official release date is June 1 but there are some store already stocking them.
