LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
In my second review of the San Diego Comic Con 2015 exclusive sets, I have the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron that was sold to ticketed attendees on Friday. The set has 203 pieces and was sold for $40. This set recreates the brief scene in Avengers: Age of Ultron of Ultron sitting on his throne.
At the beginning of July, LEGO Stores changed out their Build-A-Minifigure bar and there are now some new elements for you to choose from. I picked out every single part of each element I could find at the station so some of the parts might be leftovers from last quarter.
For the torsos above, the most notable ones I found was the Kingdoms lion torso and the Monster Fighters jacket.
For the legs, there isn’t much that stand out. There is the Curtis Bolt Ultra Agents black legs with the blue screen that could be useful for some sci-fi characters. The blue jeans are good for any general use. Finally the white spaceman ones are also available.
For the head accessories, I’m not sure which ones are for this quarter because I forgot to document which ones were for last quarter so here’s everything I could find from my store. The selection at your store may vary but there should be some of these in all locations. As you can see, there’s a nice variety to choose from.
For the heads, again I apologize for not being sure which ones are from this quarter’s change out since my store was out of the new heads last quarter. However what I found in this selection are some pretty cool ones like the ghost head from Lord of the Rings and a couple of the female Ultra Agents ones.
Lastly for the accessoreis, some of the new ones include the the trans-pink mug, a bat, a toolbox, … Continue
Idle Hands has posted some close up images of the new minifigures from the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures: Monsters (71010). These images show off the Plant Monster, Bigfoot, Monster Rocker, Zombie Businessman, Skeleton Guy, Specter, Gargoyle, Zombie Cheerleader, and Spider Lady. As you can see from the images aside from the “Monsters” having some great printing, they also have some very neat accessories to go with them like the camera for Bigfoot and the pumpkin for the Skeleton Guy. Apparently, the Series 14 minifigures were shown off at a toy event called Sweet Suite which shows off upcoming toys for this holiday season.
Earlier today, we saw also the Crazy Scientist from the new Argos ad in addition to the Wacky Witch we saw last month in a French ad. This wave of Collectible Minifigures looks to be a definite winner when they are released in a few months.
Update: It looks like the official names are on the Argos website.
The summer 2015 wave of sets are scheduled to be released soon and that means rumors are starting to pop up about 2016 sets. The first of these rumors is for the 2016 LEGO City sets. A few days ago, legomilk over on Eurobricks has talked about some of the LEGO City stuff including some Fire sets, one of which is a large Fire Station that will go for around €109,99. Other City sets that were mentioned are some small police sets, cars and garage, cleaning sets, and rescue sets. I’m assuming that the rescue sets will be related to the fire station.
Some other rumors for 2016 are for the LEGO Ninjago sets. Again, legomilk give some small details about next year’s wave of Ninjago sets noting that they will be back but with 5 sets. This might not seem like a lot but keep in mind that we’ve gotten a lot of sets this year from the Tournament of Elements wave to the recently finished Morro storyline. We’re not sure what will be going on in 2016 but there have been hints that it might involve pirates next year so we’ll see plus there’s the LEGO Ninjago movie coming in 2017 so I don’t see the theme going away anytime soon.
Over in the UK, the new Argos catalog is available and Brickset has found an image of the new LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 (71010) – Monsters. The picture shows off the Mad Scientist minifigure which makes him the fifth one we’ve officially seen with the others being the Rocker Monster, Crazy Witch, Skeleton, and Lady Vampire. I also like the look of the Monsters logo. It gives it a wacky feel which I think Series 14 will be bringing to the table.
The rest of the minifigures on the list that have yet be seen are The Fly, Gargoyle, Grim Reaper, Specter/Ghost/Phantom/Spirit, Bigfoot, Tiger Woman, Werewolf, Zombie Pirate Captain, Zombie Cheerleader, Zombie Businessman, and Plant Monster/Man-eating Plant. The ad shows Series 14 will be available in September so we’ll probably see LEGO officially revealing all of them in the next few weeks or so.
I’m back with another daily recap for San Diego Comic Con 2015. In this post, I’ll cover both Friday and Saturday since nothing much happened on Friday. On Friday, my day was pretty open since there were no LEGO panels happening that day. The LEGO booth was also pretty bland that day. The reveal of the day was the LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu (70751).
TeeFury has a cool LEGO shirt for sale today called The Brick Knight featuring Batman in minifigure form in the iconic scene from Batman: The Animated Series. It comes in either black or navy but I think the design looks best on black. The shirt is available for 16 more hours as of this writing and it goes for $11.
