LEGO Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi & General Grievous (66535)

There’s a new LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Battle Pack (66535) found at Target that features the buildable figures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous. It retails for $59.99 which is essentially the same price as if you would have purchased sets 75109 and 75112 separately. The only difference is that you also get a poster included with the box. This 2-in-1 Battle Pack is similar to the Luke Skywalker/Darth Vader (66536) one that is exclusivly available through Toys R Us. Thanks to John for sending the image in.

LEGO 2016 Set Rumors (Various Themes)

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

It’s that time of the year were more details of 2016 set will be coming out. My trusty source has provided me with some more rumored LEGO sets coming throughout next year. There are no pictures but I do have some details for various themes. Let’s just start alphabetically by theme.

For the Architecture sets, we kinda knew about the city type ones but one that wasn’t touched on was one featuring Buckingham Palace from the United Kingdom. It’s made up of lots of tan pieces and also includes a mini double-decker bus.

There was also mentioning of one of the LEGO Ghostbusters sets from the reboot movie which I posted the announcement earlier today. All I have from Ghostbusters is a set number of 75828 with $79.99 NZD.

LEGO TECHNIC fans also get in on the fun with a Bucket Wheel Excavator (42055) that goes for $499 NZD. There’s also another TECHNIC set named “Ultimate Vehicle” which goes for $699 NZD. I’m not sure if that’s the final name of it or not but that’s what I was told.

Although I said I would go alphabetically with themes, I saved what could be an awesome set for last. Back in 2013, LEGO released the LEGO Creator Sydney Opera House (10234) which was based off of the famous building in Australia. Rumor has it that LEGO will be releasing another world building set with the Big Ben (10253) from London with the pricing at $499 NZD.

More LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098) Details

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

A few months ago, I posted some details about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base including the set number of 75098 with a recommended retail price of $249.99 which was found over on Brickset.

I have some more details about the set from a very reliable source. The set is actually called the Assault on Hoth (75098) and it will be a Ultimate Collector Series set. Pretty much everything that was shown in the mini movie will be in the set minus the AT-ATs. You can see some of the stuff in the screenshots I took above and below. Han is also shown riding the Tauntaun as well as a small Wampa cave with the Wampa bigfig and Luke hanging out.

Finally as far as the release date? I’m not sure about that but I was told that it would be released in August for New Zealand so I’m guessing it might be a May the 4th set since LEGO has traditionally released UCS sets around that time.

LEGO Dimensions 30% Off MSRP on Amazon

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

Yesterday I reported that Toys R Us is having a $15 off sale for the LEGO Dimensions Starter Packs. If you don’t want to shop at TRU, Amazon has matched that deal.

That’s not all! If you’re a Prime member, use the coupon code “LEGOMOMS” and Amazon will be take another $15 off the price for a total of 30% off MSRP. Unless there’s a huge deal during Black Friday, I don’t see it going down this much between now and Christmas.

LEGO Ghostbusters Reboot Licensed Sets Coming in 2016

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Just2Good over on Eurobricks has found out that LEGO will be part of a licensing agreement to produce sets for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot movie featuring the all-female cast. There was no mentioning on what will be coming out but I assume it be various scenes from the movie like they usually do with movie tie-in sets.

This report was from a few days ago but the whole LEGO Ghostbusters theme is not without controversy. Yesterday, one of the creators of the Ghostbusters Firehouse on LEGO Ideas posted a statement regarding the similarities between their project and the official Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827). I shared that post on Facebook and there was mixed reaction.

Anyways, Ghostbusters will be released in July 2016 so we can probably expect sets between May and July.
