LEGO has recently released the latest LEGO Seasonal set of the year with the Painting Easter Eggs (40121) set. For 2015, LEGO has changed their format of the sets to a vignette-type set which started with the Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120). For the Easter set, it has 153 pieces and retails for $9.99. The box contains three unnumbered bags and an instructions booklet.
From now until March 20 or while supplies last, every purchase you make from the LEGO Store or on Shop@Home will net you a LEGO BIONICLE Hero Pack (5002941). When you shop online, it will automatically be added to your shopping cart. The polybag consists of only 9 pieces but most of the contents are paper stuff which we’ll get into shortly.
On the Hero Pack polybag packaging, it shows pretty much what you’ll be getting which includes a booklet, a poster, a sticker sheet, and a package of pieces for the build. Note that the mask on the top right corner is not the usual Mask of Creation that we’ve seen in the current sets.
The booklet includes a short comic of Tahu getting his mask and fighting the Skull Spiders. There are also instuctions on how to build the Skull Spider. Finally you get images of the some of the BIONICLE sets in the current wave.
On one side of the poster, you get images of the different Toa masks as well as their gold versions. On the other side, you have a map of the island of Okoto. There are designations of what appears to be the locations of the golden masks.
The sticker sheet is the holographic kind and each of the stickers is of the Toa’s gold masks and the LEGO BIONICLE logo. It’s the same type of material that’s been used before in other stickers so it’s nothing too special about it.
As mentioned before, you also get a bag … Continue
The final DLC Pack for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham has been released today, The Squad Pack. There are a number of characters you can play as including Captain Boomerang, Amanda Waller, Deathstroke, King Shark, El Diablo, Katana, Deadshot, and Harley Quinn. The Squad Pack DLC will be available for you to download if you already have the Season Pass. If you don’t have the Season Pass, you can purchase it seperately for $2.99. Check out The Squad Pack trailer below. What’s interesting about the trailer is that it did mention The Squad as Task Force X. I’m not sure why WB/TT Games didn’t go with that name.
In The Squad add-on content pack, a mysterious figure has infiltrated Belle Reve Penitentiary, and it’s up to players to smash their way through the prison as Deadshot, Deathstroke, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and other members of The Squad to hunt down this infiltrator before Amanda Waller’s—and The Squad’s—secrets are uncovered.
During last week’s LEGO press conference for the 2014 Annual Results, fellow reader Michael Bradford, who has provided the Collectible Minifigures Compendiums, was lucky enough to attend the event. At the same time, he also took a tour of the LEGO factory in Billund, Denmark and has given an exclusive look on how our favorite bricks were made. Usually filming on the factory floor isn’t allowed but Michael had access to and has given us a look on how LEGO creates the bricks. You can also read more about Michael’s trip in his post.
As someone who has worked in a plastics factory before, it does give a nostalgic feeling of seeing all the molds and raw ABS materials. If you haven’t seen the National Geographic’s Mega Factories about LEGO, you can check that out too.
In our second LEGO Speed Champions review, we have one of the sets that I was more looking forward to, the McLaren P1 (75909). The set contains 168 pieces and retails for $14.99 which comes out to a $0.09/piece.
We have some new LEGO Star Wars 2015 news/rumors for you guys today. Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has in hand a German retailer catalog and there’s a new set that we haven’t mentioned before, a Sith Infiltrator (75096). This new version of the ship could be a store exclusive and that’s why it wasn’t mentioned before. It was also stated that the minifigures that will be included in the set are Darth Maul, Watto, Young Anakin, Astromech, and Qui-Gon Jinn. There’s been a couple version released already with the latest one being 7961 in 2011 but it seems that we’ll be getting another Sith Infiltrator this year.
Sir von LEGO has also given a more accurate detail of the characters for the LEGO Star Wars Constraction Ultrabuild sets coming later this year. These characters are Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, General Grievous, and a Stormtrooper. It was earlier mentioned that Jango Fett and Commander Cody would be two of the characters but it seems that that isn’t the case now.
In our final LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron set review, we have The Avengers Quinjet Chase (76032)
