New LEGO Holiday Train Rumored for 2016

February 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

The talk around the LEGO community the past few days is about new LEGO Holiday Christmas Train that is rumored to be coming out later this year. This was first reported by nesquik on Eurobricks and was brought to light by Just2Good. It was mentioned that it is not a re-release of the 2006 Holiday Train (10173) so we don’t have to worry about the same issue that happened last year with the re-release of the Winter Toy Shop (10248). Keep in mind that nesquik has given legit information before in the past so what they are saying could be true. Of course things can change by the time the holiday season rolls around so I wouldn’t put too much into this rumor until some concrete details are uncovered. If a new Holiday Train is actually coming out this winter, would you guys be picking it up?

Update: The new Winter Holiday Train (10254) has been officially announced.

This is one of the newer Super Heroes sets that has been released so far for 2016 and is based on the Avengers Assemble animated series. The set contains 523 pieces and retails for $59.99. The contents of the box include four numbered bags, a bagged Thanos, a sticker sheet, a comic, and the instructions.

LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One Set Numbers

Continuing with the LEGO Star Wars news for today, this post pertains to the upcoming Rogue One sets that will be coming out later this year. The Rogue One subtheme was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last week and there’s been much talk about it the past week or so, mainly if the Slave I shown in the image would be one of the sets along with Boba Fett.

There are now some new box outline images from a retailer catalog which I won’t be posting but they do give some detail in to the Rogue One sets. There are five sets based on the movie with set numbers:

75152
75153
75154
75155
75156

There are also three Buildable Figures based on the Rogue One movie with set numbers:

75119
75120
75121

Note that the background image does show a TIE Fighter flying in the back. Whether or not it will be a set or not remains to be seen. Obviously, there are no info yet on the prices, piece count, etc. but we should be getting more details later this summer. It’s been reported earlier that the sets will be released this October.

LEGO Star Wars: Episode 7 Video Game Confirmed?

February 1, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Back in October, there was an image of a LEGO Star Wars Finn (30605) polybag that showed up online. Many people noticed that there was a code on the bottom left corner of the packaging which may suggest that it’ll be included with a video game as they usually are.

It looks like Twitter user Shinobi602 has found an Amazon Italy listing of a LEGO Star Wars: Episode 7 video game for the PlayStation 4. It also lists the release date is May 31, 2016 which could just be a placeholder and the listing mentions that some of the playable characters include Rey, Finn, Poe, BB-8, Kylo Ren, and Han Solo.

Shinobi602 also mention there will be a Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announcement tomorrow for the game as well so we’ll see if WB sends over a press release in the morning.
