It looks like GameStop has included more bonuses for the pre-orders of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens video game. For the PS4 and XBox One Deluxe versions for the pre-order, you also get the mini Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (30279) polybag along with the Jabba’s Palace Character Pack and Empire Strikes Back Character Pack. This is on top of the Finn minifigure and if you’re on PS4, the other two Playstation exclusive packs. For other systems, you’ll get the Jabba’s Palace Pack and the Command Shuttle polybag while handhelds just get the polybag.
If you’re going the Amazon route, you’ll be getting 20% off the pre-order price so it’s up to you if that’s worth it or not.
For those who have been waiting for it, the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Gotham City Breakout is now available for pre-order on Amazon. We also have a release date of June 21 for the movie. As you can see, the movie also comes with the exclusive Nightwing LEGO minifigure which is the blue version of the character.
Batman faces his greatest challenge yet: VACATION! The caped crusader reluctantly agrees to let Batgirl and Nightwing take him on a long overdue vacation from crimefighting, while Superman and the Justice League watch over Gotham City. Neither operation goes as planned when Batman’s vacation is cut short by dangers from his past and invaders from the center of the earth, and Superman and the other Leaguers quickly realize just how much Batman usually has his hands full with the villains of Gotham.
I’m not sure why it isn’t on their main channels but the designer video for the LEGO Minecraft The Village (21128) is now available. So far the reception of the set is fairly mixed. There are some new and useful pieces but the price point may be a turnoff. Check out the video below of some of the close-up details and play features of The Village.

Earlier today, LEGO posted an image of what appears to be the official minifigures for the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. As you can see, it is a recreation of the teaser image of some of the characters including Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso and Donnie Yen’s character, just to name a few.
If these are the real minifigures for the Rogue One sets, they are expected to be released on Force Friday, September 30. Below are the set number, piece counts, and prices for the system sets and Buildable Figures.

If you are looking them, good luck trying to feel for them as they don’t really have any easy identifiers besides the hair pieces. Each player will have a soccer ball piece while the coach will have a clipboard tile piece. Each jersey is unique with their names printed on the back and if you look closely, there’s also the Adidas logo on front of the jerseys.
