New Image of LEGO Seasonal Easter Set (40121)

February 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Brickset has posted a clearer image of the box art for the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Easter set (40121). We first saw this set on the back of the instructions booklet during our review for the Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) set. The 151 piece scene shows a female painting some Easter eggs in a kitchen. While not shown clearly on the front of the box, there is also an oven to bake some cookies.

If you haven’t picked up the Seasonal sets this year, LEGO has shifted from the cute animals to these 8×8 vignettes to represent the different holidays throughout the year. I’ve been told that we can expect to see the Easter set hitting LEGO Stores late February/early March and most likely on Shop@Home on March 1st. There’s no mention of the price for it but I assume it will be $9.99 as usual.

February 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

This Valentine’s Day weekend, the 2015 New York Toy Fair will be starting and members of the press will be able to get a close-up look at some of the upcoming toys you can expect to see later this year. On Saturday, select invited members to the LEGO booth will get an even earlier access to the booth before the show officially opens. This also means that we will finally get to see images of the Summer 2015 sets of LEGO Jurassic World, Star Wars, and Super Heroes, just to name a few, which photography was previously prohibited at the other toy fairs earlier this year. Unfortunately, The Brick Fan won’t be in attendance but we are teaming up with Chad from Brick Fest Live/Your Creative Friends to hopefully bring you some awesome images and videos throughout the event. Our coverage is scheduled to start at 7am EST/4am PST so stay tuned.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batzarro Minifigure Review

February 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today I received my pre-order copy of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League and as reported many times before, the Blu-Ray/DVD also includes an exclusive Batzarro minifigure. To give a little backstory on this little known character, Batzarro first appeared in June 2005 in Superman/Batman #20. He first met up with Bizarro and introduced himself as “the world’s worst detective.” However in the new animated movie, he was created by Batman being shot by the LexCorp duplicator ray gun.

On to the LEGO Batzarro minifigure review, he has a similar look as Batman but with some slight differences. The most notable difference is that the outfit is mostly a lavender/sand purple color. Everything on the outfit is upside-down including the Batman symbol and the utility belt. The back of the torso also has some printing with the upside-down belt. The head is double-sided and is pale white in color. There are dark circles around the eyes and he has a snarl on one side and an angry growl on the other. The final detail is the tattered cape that he has on. Unfortunately, Batzarro does not include any accessories.

Overall, Batzarro is a great minifigure if you’re a Batman collector as it’s another variant that you can add to your collection. It most likely will not be appearing in any forseeable DC Comics Super Heroes sets as he is a pretty obscure character. This goes along with the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh minifigure from SDCC last year however this one is way … Continue
