December 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

I’m back with more exciting news today which comes from Flickr user carlboettcher and this time, we have the new 2016 wave of LEGO Speed Champions sets. Yes, car enthusiasts rejoice as there will be seven sets coming in next year. There have been watermarked images about these sets a few months ago and that’s why I didn’t post them but now we are able to see them fairly clearly. As I mentioned before, there will be new car manufacturers included in this wave such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Audi which joins Porsche as the returning brand from 2015.

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (75870)
Ford Mustang GT (75871)
Audi R18 e-tron quattro (75872)
Audi R8 LMS Ultra (75873)
Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race (75874)

It looks like the German LEGO 2016 catalog is available and Flickr user carlboettcher has upload some images of the upcoming LEGO Super Heroes sets including the ones for Captain America: Civil War. As you can see above, there will be three sets accompanying the movie that will be released in March. Loosely translated from German, the first set is called Black Panther Pursuit (76047) which includes Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Black Panther. The next set is called Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050) which has Falcon, Black Widow, and Crossbones. The last set is called Super Hero Airport Battle (76051) which has Captain America, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Agent 13, a micro Ant-Man, and a brick-built Giant Man.

On another page of the catalog, we get our first official look at the LEGO Mighty Micros which I briefly reported on a few days ago.

December 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

If you guys missed out on the LEGO 2015 Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) that was on sale online a few weeks ago, you’ll be glad to know that it is back online again with the same promotion it had before. You can purchase it outright for $9.99 each or you can get it free with purchases of $39.99 or more on City, Ninjago, or Super Heroes sets. The promo lasts until December 25 online. Target stores also have the same promo going on too in their latest ad but it lasts until the end of the week. The main attraction for the box is probably the Lightning Lad minifigure.

If you’re at stores and you’ve been patiently waiting for the 2016 sets, you’ll be glad to know that a few sets have started to show up including the Kryptonite Interception (76045) for $29.99/DPCI 204-00-1517 as well as the Iron Skull Sub Attack (76048) for $29.99/DPCI 204-00-1520.

Issue 15 of Blocks Magazine is now with subscribers, and will be in shops on Thursday 17th December.

Elsewhere, we find out how LEGO can be used with prosthetic limbs to improve the lives of child amputees, how Britain’s most outspoken toy retailer is preparing for the Christmas season, how to bring your minifigures to life and why not every LEGO set is a solid investment.

There’s much more besides, as animation expert Steve Guinness wraps up his Italian Job project, while David Kresse shows us how to motorise our Technic MOCs. This build-filled issue is topped off with an exclusive interview with Michael Price, the mind behind LEGO Star Wars series Droid Tales.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Dawn of Justice Clash of the Heroes (76044) Set Revealed

December 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

It looks like we have an image of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Clash of the Heroes (76044) set courtesy of CM4Sci on Eurobricks. The set is the smallest in the wave coming in at 92 pieces and it includes minifigures of Batman in his armored suit and Superman. The set seems to be loosely based off a scene that’s shown in the trailer. You also get a nice looking Batsignal which I hope is a printed piece.
