It looks like there’s another 2015 LEGO Star Wars polybag that is a smaller version of their counterpart that will also be released next year. Over on Brickset, there is an image of the TIE Advanced Prototype Polybag (30275) which has 47 pieces and is a slimmed down version of set 75082. The polybag was found at a Canadian Toys R Us. There’s no mention of it being part of a promotion or the price of it.
This is the second polybag to feature a mini version of the vehicle with the other one being the AT-DP Polybag (30274). It is based on set 75083 of the same name and is available for free with a purchase of any LEGO Star Wars product.
There are just eight days left in the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) so let’s dig in and see what we get today.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games has announced that the Batman Beyond DLC pack is now available for download for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. The new character pack costs $1.99 and features the Terry McGinnis version of Batman, Bruce Wayne, Ace, Joker, Bonk, Mr. Freeze in both his regular and spider-form, Blight, and Inque.
Keep in mind, the Batman Beyond DLC pack is not part of the Season Pass that is being offered. The other DLCs that are included in the Season Pass are the Arrow Pack, the Bizarro World Pack, and The Squad Pack. There will also be a free Heroines & Villainesses Pack that will also be available in the future.
BrickLink has launched another platform for users to submit and share their MOCs that aren’t commercialized, CUUSOO BRICK. From what I’m reading, it is similar to what LEGO Ideas is about except for some little differences.
Users submit their MOCs and other users vote on it and if it gets 100 votes, a CUUSOO BRICK Award is given and it goes under review. Then CUUSOO BRICK will contact the original creator and asks if they would like the project to be distributed or provide building instructions. If the original creator approves, the project can be purchased on the BrickLink MOC Shop with building instructions and parts. Both the original creator and the user who recommended the MOC will get royalties based on the sales of the project. Read the official press release below:
