On the February 2016 LEGO Store Calendar, you probably saw that from February 15-29, VIPs get early access to a new exclusive set. Aegis2000 over on Eurobricks is reporting that it’ll be the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series Batcave (76052) with Tragic Banjo and Sir Gareth backing up the information. So far, it’s been said that the set will include Batman, Alfred, Catwoman, and Robin, just to name a few and the set will have more than just the Batcave. I’m assuming they mean the Classic Batmobile will also be in the set.
Also another piece of information that was given. A few weeks ago, there was a leaked image of Otto Preminger’s Mr. Freeze minifigure. Sir Gareth is reporting that that particular minifigure is actually a promotional polybag.
Of course all this is speculation but Tragic Banjo and Sir Gareth are pretty good sources considering that they’ve been correct on a lot of past info. LEGO should be releasing the official press release with images for the Classic TV Series Batcave (76052) in the next few weeks or so and hopefully the designer video for it so stay tuned.
Just2Good has been busy today as he has released three videos of some Summer 2015 LEGO set names including themes from LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes, and LEGO Star Wars. These are only some of the sets as there should be plenty more to come.
Earlier today, the National Park Service Centennial Vignettes by LEGORanger16 has also achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features small scenes on 10×16 plates which shows various US National Parks like the Everglades in Florida, Katmai in Alaska, and Saguaro in Arizona. This project seems to be a very educational set as it gets kids learning about some of the National Parks here in the US.
Polybag hunters, there are now images for some new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens polybags that will be coming out this year. The first one above is the First Order Star Destroyer, also called The Finalizer (30277). It has the same Resurgent-class Star Destroyer but it has some minor changes to it.
The other polybag is a miniature Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (30279). It’s pretty much a smaller version of set 75104.
The Concorde Display Set by ABStract is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the famous British/French airliner which was known as one of the fastest jets in aviation history. It was eventually retired in 2003 due to safety and budget issues. The Concorde project itself has many features like a working nose droop mechanism and moveable control surfaces.
If you’ve been holding off on getting the LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) but you want to see some closer details of the set, the designer video is now available online. Yes I did that it was available for viewing over on the LEGO Shop Facebook Page but I was waiting for a version of it to become avaialble on YouTube for easier viewing.
In the video below, you can see designers Marcos Bessa and Paul-Constantin Ţurcanu discuss some small details that you may not know about yet. I’ve already purchased and I should have my review sometime next week when I have some time to build the set.
