LEGO DFB German National Football Team Minifigure Series (71014) Box Breakdown

May 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

If you’re a LEGO Collectible Minifigures completionist, you would know that the DFB German National Football Team (71014) will be released next week in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If you’re lucky to be in those countries or have someone picking them up for you, you would know that the easiest way to find each minifigure is to get a complete box since there’s really no way to feel for them.

Fortuantely, someone from the Singapore Brick Users Group has managed to get a full box and has given a breakdown of how many of each German player will be in a box.

3 per box

Joachim Löw – Coach
Manuel Neuer – #1
Benedikt Höwedes – #4
Mats Hummels – #5
Jérôme Boateng – #17
Christoph Kramer – #20
Max Kruse – #23

4 per box

Shkodran Mustafi – #2
Bastian Schweinsteiger – #7
Mesut Özil – #8
Thomas Müller – #13
Mario Götze – #19
Marco Reus – #21

5 per box

Sami Khedira – #6
André Schürrle – #9
Toni Kroos – #18

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) Polybag Review

May 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

If you followed one of my previous posts, you would’ve probably found the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag at Toys R Us. It contains only 25 pieces and retails for $3.99. This is also the exact same polybag that will be included in a LEGO promotion from May 27-30 for spending $35 or more.

This version of Captain America has been in a few sets including the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets as well as a couple of the Civil Wars sets but this is the cheapest way to get the minifigure.

The black motorcycle frame is fairly rare as it has only been in two other sets. The motorcycle also has a small sidecar which has a flick-fire missile attached to it with a small clip. The front of the sidecar has another clip to slide Captain America’s shield in.

For what you get with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag, it’s definitely worth looking for at Toys R Us especially if you collect the Super Heroes sets. I would totally spend $4 for it instead of spending $35.

It’s also a little strange that TRU is selling the polybag ahead of a LEGO promo in the same month because that usually doesn’t happen, especially here in the US. If you’re searching for it, the item number is #396626. If the polybags are not on the floor, they’re probably behind a counter somewhere or in the back of house.

LEGO Star Wars Escape the Space Slug Building Instructions

May 5, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

This past Saturday, LEGO Brand Stores held a special event for LEGO Users Group (LUG) members for the start of the May the 4th shopping event. Members of various LUGs around the world were invited to the event at their local LEGO Store and there were some LEGO Star Wars exclusives for the event including an Assault on Hoth art poster as well as the Escape the Space Slug set.

The 161 piece set was obtained by spending $150 on LEGO Star Wars sets and I believe they were limited to 28 per store. The box is similar to the exclusive ones that are sold at various conventions like San Diego Comic Con.

The Escape the Space Slug set is based on the scene in Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back where Han Solo and the rest of the crew escaped during the Battle of Hoth and went into hiding on the maw of the exogorth.

This particular set shows a small diorama of the scene after the Millennium Falcon flew out of the space slug’s mouth. This set is actually the first time that LEGO has created the Space Slug so that’s pretty neat.

Although there are no new or rare pieces so if you have the correct parts, you can build your own. My friend Joey, who also went to his LUG event, was nice enough to send over a PDF copy of the instructions for me to share so you can download it here. The file is about 14mb so it’s not … Continue

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer Recreated in LEGO

May 5, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The fairly recent trend in LEGO animated filming is recreating official movie trailers and a group of people called the Animators Collective has done just that with the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story trailer. The stop-motion video took only a few weeks to create but it is a perfect representation of the trailer. The animators have also released behind-the-scenes videos including the VFX Breakdown as well as Behind the Scenes shots, and a side-by-side comparison.

Sonic the Hedgehog Rumored to be Confirmed for LEGO Dimensions

May 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 18 Comments

There are some new rumors regarding some of the expansion packs for Series 2 of LEGO Dimensions. CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has reported that one of the packs is “confirmed” to be Sonic the Hedgehog (71244). Of course, nothing is really confirmed until there are there actual details about them but CM4Sci has proven to be a very reliable source of information. Furthermore in the thread, there are strong suggestions that the KR (71252) pack will be based on the Knight Rider franchise.

To give a short roundup of some rumored LEGO Dimensions expansion packs for Series 2, we have the promotional Supergirl from E3, Sonic the Hedgehog, Knight Rider, Jillian Holtzmann from the Ghostbusters reboot, Adventure Time, Harry Potter, Fantasitc Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Teen Titans GO!

I have a feeling we’ll have more information about the next series of LEGO Dimensions expansion packs next month at E3 as well as San Diego Comic Con in July.
