Last month, we first saw an image of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man vs. The Venon Symbiote (30448) polybag show up online. Fellow reader Joseph H. has recently emailed in letting me know that he has found the polybag at LEGOLAND Florida. I assume this polybag will be more widely available at other retailers later this year and possibly be at Walmart as a stocking stuffer during the holiday season.
Along with this polybag, he has also found the LEGO City Fire Car (30347), the LEGO Nexo Knights The Lava Slinger (30347), and the LEGO Ninjago Kai’s Mini Dragon (30422) there. If you’re searching for these polybags, you may want to check out LEGOLAND Florida or California and Discovery Centers so see if they have any.

There’s been a lot of new today, mainly from this thing called the 2016 New York Toy Fair. We’re still waiting for images from Chad but in the meantime, there is now an image of the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Mr. Freeze (30603) minifigure polybag from The Brick Show. This polybag will complement the Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) which will be coming out in a few days.
As you can see, Mr. Freeze is based on the Otto Preminger’s character in the TV show and comes with his freeze gun and jet nozzles from his suit. It was given out to attendees of the Toy Fair but there’s still no word on how the general public will be able to get the polybag at this time.

At the beginning of the year, LEGO released a new Creative Building Set (10702) to complement their line of Classic sets. Upon looking at the box and the pieces that are included, it reminds me of when I was a kid myself when I just had a box of basic bricks and building random stuff with my dad. Now as a father myself, I get to pass that same concept of building using only our imagination with what is given in the set.
LEGO Nexo Knight fans, mark your calendars for a Toys R Us building event next Saturday, February 20 from 12-2pm local time. Kids are able to build and take home an exclusive Nexo Knights Shield Dock. The event is intended for kids but sometimes adults get lucky and are able to get one. Building events like these are very popular so I suggest getting there early as there are limited quantities available.
TRU Canada will have the event on Saturday, February 27 from 12-2pm.
