After a little cool off from all of today’s big news including the announcement of the LEGO Creator Modular Brick Bank (10251), the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas is the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series by Matthew Inman. The build contains about 1,700 bricks and is very accurate to the real-life counterpart.
At the BricKorea fan event in South Korea, LEGO has officially announced the next modular to its popular lineup, the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251). The set contains 2,380 pieces and retails for $169.99 and will be in January 2016. Modular fans have been waiting for another corner building since 2013 when the Palace Cinema (10232) was released but we’ll be getting one at the beginning of the year. There will be no early VIP access for the set. Check out the press release and more images of the Brick Bank (10251) below.

I’m not sure how long these will stay up but Bothan spies (whung, CM4sci, J2G) over on Eurobricks has found a slew of LEGO 2016 set images found on LEGO’s servers already. Note that these images are official and do not have watermarks but LEGO can decide to remove them from the servers at any time. Some of the images are system sets while some are promotional or polybag sets. What sets are you looking forward to?
Update: LEGO has taken down all their links on their server but the good folks at Brickset had them backed up.
Update 2: LEGO has begun telling sites to remove the images so I’ve complied to their wish. If you’re looking for them, they’re still out there on the web. You just have to find them.
If you’re going to Disney World Florida, you may want to check out the LEGO Store in Downtown Disney. The reason is because they are selling the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Winter Soldier (5002943) for $4.99 each. If you remember, this minifigure polybag was available in June with purchases of $75 or more but it seems that the Orlando location has a large abundance of them. There’s no word on whether the Anaheim location has the same deal or not. If someone can confirm that in the comments, that would be great.
Update: It has been confirmed that the polybag is NOT available at Disneyland Anaheim.
Earlier today at New York Comic Con 2015, TT Games did a panel for the upcoming LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game and it was announced that the game would be based on six Marvel films including The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. There’s also a brand new trailer for NYCC which you can check out below. LEGO Marvel’s Avengers will be available on January 26 and if you pre-order from Gamestop, you can get an exclusive Silver Centurion Iron Man minifigure.
Earlier this year, I reported that the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) will be coming to Target stores sometime this year and it looks like they’ve finally showed up. There have been multiple reports that the polybag has been found on endcaps in the toy section as well as at checkout lanes for $3.99. The DPCI number for it is 204-00-0479 so you can use an inventory checker to see if there are any near your area. This is probably the cheapest way to get the Joker minifigure and the bumper car isn’t too bad either. Thanks to Dan for messaging this in.
LEGO has officially reveal their big announcement at New York Comic Con 2015 which is their new IP, LEGO Nexo Knights. There will be 14 sets in the lineup that will go on sale in January as well as a TV series starting in December. The sets will range from $9.99 to $99.99 and will also have a LEGO NEXO KNIGHTS: MERLOK 2.0 companion app to go along with it.
Leg Godt has images of the two sets while TV Insider has images of some of the minifigures including Jestro, Clay, Macy, Axl, Lance, Aaron, and a Claybot. The first set seen below is Jestro’s Evil Mobile (70316) and it contains 658 pieces while retailing for $59.99. The other set is called Fortrex (70317) and that has 1140 pieces and retails for $99.99.
You can also check out the official press release and trailer for LEGO Nexo Knights below. Stay tuned as we’ll probably have more updates for the theme as NYCC rolls on.
