LEGO Ghostbusters Reboot Licensed Sets Coming in 2016

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Just2Good over on Eurobricks has found out that LEGO will be part of a licensing agreement to produce sets for the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot movie featuring the all-female cast. There was no mentioning on what will be coming out but I assume it be various scenes from the movie like they usually do with movie tie-in sets.

This report was from a few days ago but the whole LEGO Ghostbusters theme is not without controversy. Yesterday, one of the creators of the Ghostbusters Firehouse on LEGO Ideas posted a statement regarding the similarities between their project and the official Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827). I shared that post on Facebook and there was mixed reaction.

Anyways, Ghostbusters will be released in July 2016 so we can probably expect sets between May and July.

If you’ve been holding off on purchasing LEGO Dimensions, Toys R Us has a pretty good sale going on this weekend that may persuade you a little. On Friday and Saturday, one of the deals is $15 off any LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack. This includes PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U. That is a pretty good deal considering the game has only been out for a few months and is a hit.

The other deal TRU has is Buy 1, Get 1 40% off anly LEGO Dimensions Fun, Team, and Level Packs. This includes all the expansion packs that have been released so far including the Doctor Who Level Pack and others that were released a few days ago. This offer cannot be combined with the previous offer. If you want to do both offers, just make separate purchases.

The folks over at LUG Brasil has asked me to help promote the Expo LUG Brasil 2015 this weekend and I know I have some readers who are from that area that may be interested in attending. It will be happening November 7 and 8 and entrance to the expo is free.

New LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu Image Revealed

November 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

Earlier today, the LEGO Ninjago Facebook Page posted a new image of what we can expect in 2016 for LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu with the animated series and sets. As you can see, the Ninjas are indeed going up against a band of Pirates as was teased back at San Diego Comic Con. You can see some of the Pirates including the main villain Nadakhan who is a Djinn that wants to turn people’s wishes into nightmares.

There are also some set descriptions for the sets that will be coming out in the beginning of the year.

The Jetsons Coming to LEGO Dimensions?

November 4, 2015 / Michael Tran / 8 Comments

Here’s some interesting LEGO Dimensions news that may provide hints to future expansion packs. One of my followers on Twitter tweeted out the image above to me a few hours when they were playing the game. They were using the TARDIS and the Simpsons Level Pack but the most noticable thing is the setting. If you’ve ever watched The Jetsons before, you would know that the building in the background shows the Little Dipper School where Elroy Jetson attends for space history, astrophysics and star geometry.

Could this mean that The Jetsons will be making an appearance in LEGO Dimensions sometime in the future? Given that LEGO has a license deal for Scooby-Doo sets which is part the Hanna-Barbera as is the Jetsons, it does suggest we might see the family in some way in the future. What do you guys think?

Credit to BricksByMind for the image.

Update: Apparently Bedrock from the Flintstones also make an appearance as well. You can check that out starting at 3:00 in the video below.

LEGO Nexo Knights Knight’s Cycle (30371) Polybag Found

November 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Even though the new LEGO Nexo Knights sets won’t be released until January, we have a first look at one of the polybags that will go with the theme, the Knight’s Cycle (30371). The image was provided by our friend CM4Sci over on Eurobricks. The polybag consists of a Royal Soldier who wields a lance and rides a futuristic looking bike with stud shooters. It looks very reminiscent to jousting so if you have a couple of these polybags, you can make your own Nexo Knights jousting scene.

There’s no mentioning of how to obtain the Knight’s Cycle but I have a feeling that it’ll either be part of a LEGO promotion or sold at retailers like Target or Toys R Us.

Doctor Who To Make Appearance in The LEGO Movie 2?

November 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Doctor Who has made an immediate impact in the LEGO world this year with its appearance in LEGO Dimensions and in the upcoming LEGO Ideas (21304) set. io9 is reporting that Warner Bros. is in negotiations with BBC for the Doctor to make an appearance in The LEGO Movie 2.

Director Rob Schrab dropped that teaseer on the Harmontown Podcast but that was pretty much it. Although there wasn’t more information about this, it sounds like the Doctor will be making a cameo appearance like Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Lando did in the first movie.

The LEGO Movie 2 won’t be out until 2018 so there’s still a few years to see if he will actually be in the movie or not. Who knows, maybe we’ll see some other collaboration between LEGO and Doctor Who between then.
