LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) Polybag Review

July 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

One of the best LEGO polybags in 2015 in my opinion has to be the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303). We first heard about it back in December but there’s been an issue of it being publicly available for purchase. First it was on Toys R Us’ website but then it was taken down then there were rumors or it showing up at Target but that never happened, to my knowledge. As of this point, the only places I’ve heard of the polybag being available, besides eBay or BrickLink, was during the Daily Mail promotion, at a select few Toys R Us stores, and currently at LEGOLAND parks. It contains 47 pieces and normally retails for $3.99.

Minifigure

The only minifigure in the polybag is Joker himself. This version of the Joker has been in three previous sets so it isn’t that hard to find him but this polybag is easily the cheapest way to get him in a set. He wears his iconic purple suit with a green vest on the inside. He has a double-sided white face paint with a sinister smirk on one side and evil grin on the other. To finish his look, he has his green hair. THe Joker’s accessory is a pie.

Build

The bumper car build is pretty simple but is easily recognizable. It uses some clever SNOT building techniques to create the bumper areas. What’s nice is that it also has some wheels … Continue

San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 4 Recap

July 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I’ve finally had some time to finish up my daily coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 with the last day of the convention. For Sunday, I didn’t try to get any of the exclusive LEGO sets since I already got all three of them the previous days so I pretty much roamed around the exhibit hall until the first panel which was the world premiere showing of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom. The movie was pretty good and had a decent plot. As for Trickster, who is also the exclusive minifigure with the movie, he shows up right at the beginning. That’s all I’ll say about that. At the end, there was also a very brief panel moderated by Greg Miller and consisting of Troy Baker, Josh Keaton, Khary Payton, Brandon Vietti, Rick Morales, and Jim Krieg.

After that, I headed off to the next panel which was the LEGO Ninjago one and apparently there are a lot of Ninjago fans because there was a huge line for it. I’ve did a recap of that panel and yes, there will be another season coming with hints of there being pirates included.

For the last panel of the day, it was the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes one which gave attendees an inside look at the development process of some of the recent LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets, animated content, and the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game. The panel consisted of Marcos Bessa, Adam Corbally, Jason Cosleer, Cort … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2015 Exclusives Giveaway

July 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

I hear you guys like giveaways so here’s another one that you may be interested in. As you can see from the image above, I have a whole set of LEGO SDCC exclusives that I will be giving away. You may ask how did I get two sets of exclusives. You may not know this but I had my brother stand in line with me at Comic Con and he was able to get a whole set himself. Since he isn’t into LEGO as much as I am, we came to a mutual agreement to give me the exclusives and here we are.

So my question for you guys is what kind of giveaway do you want? Would you like to have three separate giveaways for each individual exclusive or just one giveaway for all three exclusives. I made a Straw Poll and you can vote on your choice. The one with the most votes will be the giveaway that will be done. I’ll let this run for about a week or so to let the votes populate. This will be a worldwide giveaway so that people who weren’t able to attend SDCC have a chance to win them.

The fate is in your hands. Choose wisely.
