LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
If you missed out on the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens X-Wing Fighter Toys R Us building event, one of our readers has tweeted me the instructions for the build. The parts that are needed are pretty common so you might have some spares in your collection to build your own X-Wing.
Thanks to Braden for sending in the image in.
There’s been many changes to the LEGO Monthly Mini Events the past couple of months with the new registration system and the changing of the dates of when you can register and now, there’s another change starting next month.
Registration for LEGO’s December Monthly Mini Build starts today but there is information about January’s event at the bottom. Starting next month, in order to participate in the future LEGO Monthly Mini Builds, you have to be a VIP member and need a registered email address.
I assume most people who attend the events are already VIP members but if you’re not (I’m not sure why since it’s free), you can sign up here.
There’s some new information coming out of Brick Pirate regarding the upcoming LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012). Usually we get 16 different minifigures to collect with the regular Collectible Minifigures but in the Disney series, it looks like LEGO has changed it up a little because there will be 18 characters to collect. Not much else is known at this time but it’s rumored that we could be seeing Peter Pan and Captain Hook. It’s also high possible that Mickey Mouse will be in the series considering he is the face of Disney. More details as they come.

In the past couple of days, there have been more leaks of various LEGO sets but of course I’m not going to post the images. However I can still talk about them, mainly for some of the LEGO Super Heroes including DC and Marvel.
There’s not much details about the DC sets except that one of them includes minifigures of Batman, Harley Quinn, and Deadshot.
The details of some of the Marvel sets have been floating around various forums but there is information that some of you may enjoy. For the Iron Skull Sub Attack (76048), the set includes minifigures of Scuba Iron Man, aka Mark 37 (Hammerhead), Scuba Captain America, Iron Skull, and a Hydra Diver.
Another set is called the Avenjet Space Mission (76049) and it’s a neat one. The Avenjet is similar to the ship seen in the Avengers Assemble animated series but the cool stuff is the minifigures that are included. We get Space Iron Man, aka Mark 39 (Starboost), Space Captain America, Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, Hyperion, and get this, a bigfig version of Thanos.
I know this is pretty vague with no official images to look at but I’m pretty excited for the new characters especially Thanos. Also the new Iron Man suits gets us a little closer to a collection of the Iron Legion from Iron Man 3. If you do run across these leaked images, please do not post them in the comments or I’ll have to remove them.
Black Friday is still a few weeks away but ads for various retailers are now available and the Walmart ad is one that many fans may be interested in. Last year, they sold the Creative Tower (10664) which contained 1600 pieces for $30. This year, they’re doing a similar deal with the updated LEGO Classic Large Creative Box (10697) which contains 1500 pieces for $30. It normally retails for $60 but you know what happens during Black Friday. For half of the price, you get a variety of bricks in numerous colors. Prepare to fight the crazy crowds if you’re going for this set.
Here’s something that I’ve don’t think I’ve seen yet online. I was visiting the store today and I was told about a promotion that will be happening starting tomorrow and lasting through Sunday for some LEGO Ninjago sets. When you purchase the Temple of Airjitzu (70751), you will be getting the Enter the Serpent (70749)
set for FREE. Yes, you heard that right. If you’ve been holding off on getting the Temple of Airjitzu, tomorrow is a great time to pick it up especially when you’ll also be getting a $60 set for free.
This promo is going on at all LEGO Brand Stores as well as on Shop@Home.
Update: Looks like LEGO has pulled the online offer. It is now only available in stores.
Marvel has released the first clip of the upcoming animated special, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Avengers Reassembled! The show will be airing on Disney XD on Monday, November 16 at 9:30pm EST. We first saw some details about the show on the last day of San Diego Comic Con when they showed some clips of it.
The plot revolves around the Avengers having a party when they suddenly have to save Iron Man from Ultron’s control. The usual cast of Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Vision, Black Widow, and Hawkeye as well as some special appearances by Spider-Man, Iron Spider, and Ant-Man. Check out the clip below.
