LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
The LEGO Minecraft Facebook Page has released a new video featuring Max from the LEGO Minecraft team showing off features of the upcoming Fortress (21127) set. The set will be available in September and it contains 984 pieces while retailing for $109.99. Check out the video below to see some of the stuff you can expect from The Fortress (21127).
Mark your calendars because Toys R Us is having another building event later on this month. On Saturday August 27 starting at 12pm, kids are able to build a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain America Mosaic and take home for free, while supplies last.
As usual, you may have to line up early to try to ensure a spot as these Toys R Us building events can sometimes be very popular.
I can not confirm it at this time but there are rumors there will be a Double VIP Points event at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home this weekend from August 5-7. I was told about it by Clutch over at Bricks on the Dollar yesterday and another person has posted about it too over on Reddit.
I will try to confirm tomorrow whether or not this is true but all signs point to yes. If you’ve been waiting to pick up any of the new summer 2016 sets, I suggest waiting just a little bit longer to get those double points. For us who have already bought stuff, it’s kind of a bummer especially since LEGO has been pretty slow at announcing things lately.
A few days ago, LEGO released more summer 2016 sets and included in the list was the smallest of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set with the Spider-Man: Ghost Rider Team-up (76058). This set contains 217 pieces and retails for $19.99. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instruction booklet, a small sticker sheet, and a comic.
I’m a few days late on this due to my work schedule but here is The Brick Fan July 2016 Monthly Recap. There was lots of huge announcements and reveals last month because of events happening in July like San Diego Comic Con.
