Further Clarification on LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Ant-Man Final Battle (76039) Issue

June 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

There are some more details coming out of Reddit regarding a problem with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Ant-Man Final Battle (76039). As you can see from the image above, there are two different instructions for the same step in building the ant’s legs. The top is the updated version which also includes pairs of pins and cones to add on to the legs for more stability. This is probably the reason why Shop@Home has the set listed with 195 pieces instead of the 183 when it was first released.

The OP also stated that both boxes where identical and that there was no sign of them showing the 12 extra pieces except when opened so I assume LEGO is just using the same boxes that list 183 pieces and adding a bag with the additional pieces with the new instructions which saves the company some money by not remaking the boxes. If you’re one of the people who don’t have the updated Ant-Man Final Battle (76039), I suggest contacting LEGO customer support to see if you can get the extra parts.

Celebricktion LEGO Exhibition Happening in October

June 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I was recently sent an email about a LEGO exhibition that will be happening in October called Celebricktion which will be held at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, GA. Read more about the event below:

CELEBRICKTION: a celebration of the LEGO brick building system

October 10-11, 2015; 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Cobb Galleria Centre
Atlanta, Georgia

Tickets are $15 at the door; a portion of each ticket sale goes to non-profits.

For this awesome event, Lego builders Harry and Austin Nijenkamp “free built” (meaning no plans or drawings) an entire city with over one million LEGO pieces featuring parks, skyscrapers exceeding 12-feet tall, busy streets, and even a parade containing thousands of LEGO minifigures. It took over a year to build this amazing city!

Also at this event:

– A replica of the Nijenkamps’ Lego studio to provide insight into how they create their giant exhibits.

– BRICKS’ custom 4′ M.O.C.s (my own creations) including Helm’s Deep, Winter Village, Spooktacular Haunted Scene, and
Pirate Island.

– A LEGO robotics demonstration.

– Kids’ freebuilders area with over 100,000 LEGO pieces.

– Pictures with “Mr. Bricks” and other mascots

– Various LEGO games.

– Kids’ bounce house.

– Concessions.

– Numerous creations by other metro-Atlanta LEGO enthusiasts.

– Custom 3D-printed minifigure heads of yourself.

– More than 20 LEGO vendors selling hard-to-find, new, and used LEGO sets, custom minifigures/bricks, light kits, and more!

LEGO Jurassic World Gallimimus Trap Polybag (30320)

There have been various reports, including one from our reader, that the LEGO Jurassic World Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag is now available at Toys R Us stores in the US for $3.98/$3.99. This polybag was previously an exclusive pre-order bonus with the LEGO Jurassic World video game at GameStop. Also, there was a report that the Gallimimus Trap would be part of a promotion starting the week of June 21. So if you were looking for one or a couple of these and you didn’t get it from GameStop, you may want to check out Toys R Us. Since it is for a promo, they might not sell them to you but you might get lucky.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron SDCC 2015 Exclusive Set Revealed

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC Exclusive Throne of Ultron

San Diego Comic Con 2015 is upon us and The Hollywood Reporter has given us our first look at one of the exclusive sets that will be sold there, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron. The set consists of 203 pieces and will be sold for $39.99. It will have four minifigures: Ultron and three Ultron Sentries. It looks like all the minifigures are already in the current wave of Avengers: Age of Ultron sets with Ultron being the same as in The Quinjet City Chase (76032) and the Sentries looking similar to the ones in the Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) set but with the added neck brace piece.

As we all know by now, these exclusives are getting almost impossible to get when at SDCC unless you’re in the know. There will be a limited amount sold each day and usually the line will be filled up in a few minutes after the doors open. I’m going to try and get in line for it but I’m chances are slim that I’ll get one. I wish that LEGO would do what Mattel did with their SDCC exclusive this year and allow attendees to pre-order online and pick them up during the convention so it’s more organized. Many don’t know this but the LEGO booth isn’t ran by LEGO employees but LEGOLAND employees which is ran by Merlin Entertainments.

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) Official Images Revealed

June 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 18 Comments

Earlier today, the official images of the new LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) set was publish on Smyths Toys website. The set was designed by Angus MacLane who also worked on the movie and his project on LEGO Ideas garnered enough support in the eyes of fans as well as LEGO to have this set be produced. WALL•E (21303) is listed to be released in December and has a retail price of €57.99 which corresponds to about $39.99 here in the states. It isn’t certain but that’s my guess for similarly priced sets and it could be as high as $49.99 considering it’s a licensed set.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it. I did see it this morning and sent out a tweet from my phone but didn’t have a way to do this post. What do you guys think of the set?

June 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

BrickLink has now entered the open beta test phase for the next iteration of the website called BrickLink Facelift. In this phase, you can check out the new skin, on-site payment, and improved Search/Catalog UI.

For the new skin, there will be some color changes made to the overall site with it now sporting a light blue background instead of the usual dark green we’ve been seeing for a while. The BrickLink logo will also be changing a little with new typography.

With BrickLink Facelift, there is now on-site payment which users can now complete the checkout process without leaving BrickLink. On-site payment will be supported by Stripe and PayPal and it accepts all major debit/credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB. For PayPal, you must connect your PayPal account and enable onsite payment.

Finally, there is now a new All Items Search feature which returns the results for both Items for Sale and the Catalog Items Search.

You can check out the preview of BrickLink Facelift over at http://preview.bricklink.com/ and you can give your feedback on the news posting page. The changes are scheduled to be made sometime in June.
