For any purchase you make on Shop@Home, you can get the minifigure for FREE on top of the Double VIP points promotion that’s also going on.

Earlier today while I was as work, LEGO has announced the results for the projects from the Second 2015 Review Stage that will be now become official LEGO Ideas sets in the near future. Yes, you hear that right, sets, as in two has passed the review stage and have now moved on to the design phase and well on their way to becoming sets that we will be able to purchase
The first project will please classic car fans as the Caterham Super Seven by Carl Greatrix is the first set announced. The project is based on the British sports car.
The other project will be become an official LEGO Ideas set is the Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures by aBetterMonkey. Now you will be able to create your favorite characters from the hit TV series.
LEGO Ideas has also announced that the Star Citizen F7A Hornet, which has been through two review periods, will not be considered any longer.
Of course, there’s no details of pricing and availability for the Caterham Super Seven the the Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures but I’ll let you know once the information becomes available.
If you haven’t seen it yet, a new trailer for Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War was released earlier today and there was a ton of action throughout. At the end of the trailer there’s surprise appearance but many of us who follow the storyline, we already know who it is:

As for the LEGO sets, three sets have already been released in conjunction with the movie:
However, there’s also a rumored fourth Super Heroes Civil War set (76067) that’s supposed to come out this summer which we haven’t seen yet. The most likely reason we haven’t seen any images of it yet is probably because to conceal the identity of said surprise character until the new trailer came out. Hopefully we see something soon and it’ll be what fans were waiting for.
The folks over at Bricks has sent over a press release for Issue 10 of the magazine. This latest issue focuses on the Super Heroes theme from both DC and Marvel.
Bricks Issue 10 – Calling all heroes
The time has come to stand and be counted as superheroes battle their arch rivals in the latest edition of Bricks. Issue 10 explores the great rivalries between our favourite heroes and villains from the ever-expanding universes of Marvel and DC Comics, both popular licenses in the LEGO world that have spawned some of the greatest minifigures to date.
The journey begins in the 1960s, deep underground into the newly released retro Batcave set. Inspired by the Adam West era, this giant set is packed with all of our favourite characters and a beautiful Batmobile. This is the latest big exclusive LEGO release and despite some criticism from the online community, we’re confident it will prove to be a big hit. The potential for collectors and customisers alone is huge.
Outside the Batcave Lucy Boughton investigates the best LEGO villain figures before taking you around her amazing Poison Ivy Lair. Next stop is Arkham Asylum as we look at the amazing work of Louis Blackwell, a man who is as talented with a pen as he is with the brick as you will see from his one-off exclusive Bricks superhero piece.
We chat with Arthur Parsons of TT Games and get the inside line on the new Avengers console offering, and if this wasn’t enough there is plenty
Last year, I reported there would be some official LEGO Halloween costumes coming out later this year by local costume company, Disguise. Although it’s still early in the year, it looks like there was a sneak peek at a couple of the costumes from the New York Toy Fair last month by FamilyGamer TV.
In their video, they showed off a costume of Clay Moorington from LEGO Nexo Knights and Lloyd Garmadon from LEGO Ninjago. The costumes look to be made out of the soft cloth and foam while the masks are plastic with a transparent mesh for the eyes.
There’s no other costumes shown but we now know there will be at least three themes for the costumes including Nexo Knights, Ninjago, and Mixels. The LEGO costumes from Disguise are scheduled to be available at retailers in fall 2016.
The Series 15 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71011) have been available worldwide for a while now and I’ve finally had time to do my review on it. Ever since I started collecting them back in Series 6, they’ve been getting better and better each series. Let’s see if Series 15 can live up to the hype when the official images came out.
Some of the sets that were released recently that I was really excited for were the new LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros sets. The one set that really stood out for me from the line was the Marvel Super Heroes: Hulk vs. Ultron (76066). The set contains 80 pieces and retails for $9.99. When you open up the box, the contents of the box are pretty interesting as it contains two sets of instructions, two un-numbered bags, and a product leaflet for Civil War sets. Instead of the builds being in a small booklet, the instructions are leaflets similar to the ones you find in polybags.
