Strangely on Eurobricks has revealed the exclusive minifigure that will be included with the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game, possibly from GameStop and it is Iron Man MK 33, the Silver Centurion suit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As you can see above, Iron Man will now wear an armor piece over his regular suit which is now mostly red and silver hence the suit name. In Iron Man 3, this suit was seen at the end of the movie during the House Party Protocol and was briefly worn by Tony Stark. The minifigure makes good use of the Legends of Chima armor piece and notice there’s also side printing on the arms and legs on the minifigure and if you look real closely, the arms are double printed.
There hasn’t been much information about LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game besides the annonuncement of it back in January but it is scheduled to be released sometime in the fall. The LEGO Silver Centurion minifigure isn’t list on GameStop’s listings yet but it should be up a few weeks before the game is released.
There some new information regarding the rumored upcoming LEGO Star Wars Sith Infiltrator (75096) set. Sir von Lego on Eurobricks has given a release date of the set to be in August with 660 pieces, and is priced at 99.99 Euros. The set doesn’t seem to be a rumor anymore as Brickset has also uploaded the set to their database as well.
This new 76096 Sith Infiltrator will be the sixth official iteration of Darth Maul’s vehicle which was first seen in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The previous version was a mini set from San Diego Comic 2012 and the last widely released set was in 2011 with the 7961 set which was one of my very first reviews on The Brick Fan. That set was only 479 pieces and retailed for $69.99 so this latest one will be slightly larger. Minifigures that are rumored to be in the set are Darth Maul, Watto, Anakin Skywalker, Qui-Gon Jinn, and R2-D2.
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for LEGO Jurassic World which features a look at the new park facilities from the new movie. While listening to John Williams’ famous Jurassic Park score, the trailer shows some of the real trailer for the movie in LEGO form. WB has also officially confirmed details of the DLC pre-order bonues for specific systems which I talked about late last night. Both of the DLCs will be able for purchase as a standalone for $0.99.

There have been some reports of shoppers who had placed orders on Shop@Home and they received a LEGO Jurassic World poster included with their order in the mail. We first saw the image of the poster when the first official image of the LEGO Jurassic World theme was revealed back in December.
There’s no mentioning of any requirements to get the poster, whether it was attached to a certain theme or if it had any pricing thresholds. I’m also not sure if it is for Shop@Home only or if LEGO Brand Stores will have it too but judging from previous unannounced promos, I believe this promo will only work online. I’ll try to get confirmation later.
I tried testing my theory by putting some items in the shopping cart including some Jurassic World sets and it didn’t show up in the cart so I think it’s just some bonus freebies that LEGO is throwing in to promote the sets along with the movie release next month. I wouldn’t go as far as saying to buy things for a chance to get the poster because I’m not 100% sure about it either. Let me know in the comments if you have recently placed an order on Shop@Home and have gotten the poster as well.
There are now some bonuses when you pre-order the LEGO Jurassic World video game directly for certain systems using their store apps. For PlayStation 3 or the PS4, you can get some characters including Eric and Paul Kirby from Jurassic Park III as well as a vehicle with the Animal Control Vehicle.
For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, there’s a Jurassic Park Trilogy Pack #2 which includes characters like Lex and Tim Murphy and the cruise ship from The Lost World. It’s interesting since there hasn’t been any word on Trilogy Pack #1 yet.
The LEGO Jurassic World video game will be available for all major gaming systems on June 12 which is the same date that the movie will be released in theaters.
Since today is Thursday, I decided to do a Throwback Thursday review of a fairly older set. It’s something that close to me since technically I’m currently working for the company part-time. This set is the licensed LEGO City Toy R Us Truck (7848) which was first released back in 2010. The set was a Toys R Us exclusive and sold for $44.99 but I managed to get it at a pretty decent price and I couldn’t pass it up. The set contains 356 pieces and comes with two instruction booklets.
Today Warner Bros Home Entertainment announced the latest LEGO DC Comic Super Heroes feature film, Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom!

Mark Hamill will be doing some voices in the movie including Trickster and Sinestro while Troy Baker will again be voicing Batman.
As we know by now, these LEGO animated movies often will come with an exclusive minifigure and I’m 99.9% sure that the Trickser minifigure we saw last year will be included in the combo pack. Check out the full synopsis below as well as the trailer for Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom.
Update: The LEGO Trickster exclusive minifigure has been confirmed to be included with the movie.
