The LEGO Observatory – Mountain View by ThomasW is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The Observatory includes a telescope within the dome and another one on the viewing platform. The project also suggests that the dome is openable and turnable.

The LEGO Observatory – Mountain View now joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, The Addams Family Mansion, the Merchant’s House, and the Large Hadron Collider as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

The Large Hadron Collider by NathanR2015 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is based on the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator at CERN. It is also the second project of its kind to get the required amount of supporters on LEGO Ideas with the Particle Accelerator by JKBrickworks being the first. There was also the ATLAS Mini Model which was over on LEGO CUUSOO.

The Large Hadron Collider now joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, The Addams Family Mansion, and the Merchant’s House as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

First Look at LEGO Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Tina Fun Pack (71257)

July 21, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

I’m back from the first official day of San Diego Comic Con 2016 and today I want to focus on the LEGO Warner Bros. stuff, more importantly LEGO Dimensions. The LEGO Dimensions glass case of products were unusually small with only some of the Year 2 content being displayed in a badly reachable area. I literally had to sneak in to the WB line to take a picture of them because it wasn’t displayed in a public friendly place.

One thing we haven’t seen yet that was displayed was a first look at the LEGO Dimensions Fantastic Beasts Tina Fun Pack (71257). It contains 51 pieces and it includes the Tina Goldstein minifigure along with the Swooping Evil. Tina comes in her gray coat printing along with a gray gumdrop hat although she appears to wear a green one in the movie.

The Swooping Evil, according to Pottermore is a large, butterfly-like creature and the build does look pretty similar to the source material given the limited amount of pieces that comes with the set. There was no mentioning of pricing but I’m guessing it will retail for $11.99 like the other Fun Packs.

The other new set from the Year 2 wave was the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack (71253). As mentioned before, it comes with the Newt Scamander minifigure along with a brick-built Niffler as well as the entrance to the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). We now also know the piece count of the set coming in at 261 … Continue

Two The LEGO Batman Movie Official Set Images Revealed

The LEGO Batman Movie The Batmobile (70905)

Earlier today, LEGO has published official images of two The LEGO Batman Movie sets which are The Batmobile (70905) and The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906). We’ll see the two sets being displayed at San Diego Comic Con this weekend. Below is a little description of the two sets.

The Batmobile (70905) has 581 pieces and it includes minifigures of Batman, Robin, Man-Bat, and the Kabuki Twins. Batman has a new belt attachment piece while Robin wears some of the new green goggles which we saw before. Man-Bat looks like the same one we’ve in in a previous set while The Kabuki Twins are brand new. We’ll see how the assassins will play part in the movie later on. The Batmobile will retail for $59.99.

The Joker Notorious Lowrider (70906) has 433 pieces and will retail for $49.99. It is the one that we saw an image of yesterday with the character reveal and it includes minifigures of Batgirl, The Joker, and Harley Quinn. All three minifigures have new printing on them and the Lowrider is an interesting looking build as well.

LEGO Super Heroes BrickHeadz SDCC 2016 Boxes

LEGO BrickHeadz Superman & Wonder Woman (41490)

I’m finally back from a pretty rushed Preview Night at San Diego Comic Con 2016. I’ll over the other stuff that was happening at the LEGO Booth later on but I want to focus on the new upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz sets that are coming out in 2017. LEGO displayed the four convention exclusive sets including the boxes for them which shows some more details about them.

As you can see, the SDCC 2016 exclusive versions of the sets will have the label on front of the box and they are the higher quality slip cover versions. They also have the little stand with the #LEGOSDCC printed tile as well. The retail versions of the set won’t have these and will probably have a slightly different piece count.

Again, drawings to be able to purchase these at SDCC will be held each morning in the Pavilion Terrace.

Superman & Wonder Woman (41490) – 220 pieces
Batman & The Joker (41491) – 212 pieces
Iron Man & Captain America (41492) – 184 pieces
Black Panther & Dr. Strange (41493) – 173 pieces

LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack (71258) Revealed

July 20, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

There’s now an official image of the new LEGO Dimensions E.T. Fun Pack (71258). It contains 42 pieces and includes the E.T. minifigure with a potted plant accessory and Phone Home for the build which is a red telephone. It’s interesting that they chose to use a telephone but it’s close enough to the classic red Speak & Spell that was used in the movie.

The E.T. Fun Pack (71258) will most likely retail for $11.99 like the other Fun Packs. There’s no word on the release date.
