Buccaneer Batman Exclusive Minifigure Rumored for LEGO DC Comics Character Encyclopedia

Next year we’ll be getting a new DK LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia and as usual, there will be an exclusive minifigure with the book. A rumor from Just2Good has the exclusive minifigure to be Buccaneer Batman. Yes you read that right, Buccaneer Batman. It’s an obscure variant of Batman as I’ve only seen it from the Kenner Legends of Batman toy line. LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia will be available in April 2016 so we’ll probably seeing images of the exclusive minifigure around the beginning of the year.

Rosario Dawson to Voice Batgirl in The LEGO Batman Movie

Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the LEGO Batman spin-off movie has casted Rosario Dawson as the voice of Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl. She has done voice work before in other animated films like Wonder Woman for Justice League: Throne of Atlantis and she joins Will Arnett (Batman), Michael Cera (Robin), and Zach Galifianakis (Joker) in an already star-studded cast. The LEGO Batman Movie will be in theaters on February 10, 2017.

More Fake LEGO Products Showing Up at Comic Cons

Last week was New York Comic Con and The Brick Show was there with West End Toys, a company that sells legitimate LEGO products. However there are other “companies” there that also sell what appears to be LEGO but in reality, they’re just cheap knock-offs from China.

Stephen went around to a few booths showing what products they’re selling and found there were about “20-30” booths selling all kinds of counterfeit LEGO from bricks to minifigures. As LEGO fans, we know which minifigures are legit and which are not but parents and kids who aren’t enthusiasts can’t really tell the difference because they look so similar and are priced way cheaper. As one person at these booths states about selling fake LEGO,

“Doesn’t matter, that’s the best part. They fit on the thing and that’s all that matters to me. I’m all about capitalism.”

That statements bugs me because they’re all about the money. Notice they don’t even use the correct terminology when describing where the minifigures are standing on as they only call it “the thing.” Not a stand or on studs but “the thing.”

Note that this was at New York Comic Con, one of the largest fan conventions in the US. This is my first time hearing about booths selling fake LEGO products at these conventions as I don’t see them at San Diego Comic Con but then again, they are different organizers so they probably don’t care what is sold there.

As LEGO keeps growing bigger and bigger, the more likely companies … Continue

Reports of LEGO Double VIP Points Extended Again

LEGO Seasonal Holiday Christmas Train (40138)

I’ve gotten a few emails from various readers that they said that LEGO Double VIP has been extended again and will last until October 31. There’s also a report by a user on Reddit that also contributes to this report.

As we know by now, the new LEGO Seasonal Holiday Christmas Train (40138) will be available starting tomorrow and will overlap with the Double VIP promo for two days. If this rumor of the extended Double VIP promo is true, we’ll have more time to plan our shopping since there are two more weeks of it. If you don’t want to risk missing out on it, then I suggest making your purchases tomorrow or Wednesday just in case.

I’m trying to confirm if this report is true or not so stay tuned as I’ll update this post when I have an answer.

Update: I’ve gotten confirmation from my store that the extension is indeed true but if you’re also going for the Christmas Train, I suggest getting your orders in early.
