LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Mr. Freeze (30603) Review

April 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

At the beginning of the month, LEGO released a new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Batman Classic TV Series Mr. Freeze (30603) polybag as part of a promotion at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get him with purchases of $75 or more and it is supposed to be a small extension to the Batman Classic TV Series Batcave (76052).

The polybag features the Mr. Freeze character in the 1966 Classic Batman TV series portrayed by Otto Preminger. The face printing is perfect down to the long red eyebrows and wrinkles.

His cooling suit is a light blue color with upper part of the torso having printing for the temperature controls of the suit. There’s also some printing of the freeze collar that continues on the back although I wish there was an actual piece for that.

He also wears a cold pack with two tanks that connects with the trans-clear piece around the neck. Another detail is the knob to turn the air on and off. Finally, we have the blue Freeze Gun that connects to the air pack using a whip piece.

Overall, the Batman Classic TV Series Mr. Freeze (30602) is a very nice 16 piece polybag. It will be available until April 15, while supplies last so we’ll see if it will be fairly rare or not in the future since it requires $75 purchases to get it.

If you picked up the Batman Classic TV Series Batcave (76052), Mr. Freeze does look very nice standing alongside … Continue

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout Trailer

April 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

A few weeks ago, it was revealed there would be another LEGO direct-to-video movie called LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout which also includes an exclusive Nightwing minifigure. Today there is a new description and trailer for the movie that you can check out below.

Fighting crime is a full-time job and Batman NEVER takes a vacation. That is until he finally agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue trip – leaving Gotham City under the watchful eye of the Justice League in LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout.

When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane – literally – to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it’s up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a “vacation” as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It’s a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by many of Batman’s infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City’s safety.

Free Shipping on Uniqlo Orders

April 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Last week, I reported that Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo has expanded their selection of official LEGO t-shirts to the US. For two days only, there is FREE shipping on all orders so if you’re thinking of getting some shirts, now is a pretty good time to do so. The only downside is that some of the designs have sold out or have low stock. Head over to the Uniqlo site to see the selection available.

Thanks to Daisy for the email heads up.
