New LEGO Scooby-Doo Villains Unmasked Image

June 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There hasn’t been much news about the LEGO Scooby-Doo sets since the toy fairs from earlier this year but Just2Good on Eurobricks has found a never-seen before image of some of the villains unmasked from the Mystery Mansion (75904) set. This particular set features three villains: the Black Knight, Vampire, and a Ghost. As you can see, the Black Knight and the Ghost has head printing similar to the older Star Wars Stormtroopers with a black head piece and just some face printing. From the looks of it, the Vampire will have a double-sided head in a similar style but it’ll be white instead of black.

If you watched the older Scooby-Doo cartoons, you’ll know that the Black Knight is actually Mr. Wickles and from the image above, you can see the minifigure wearing round glasses just like him. It’s cool to see the sets pay homage to some of the characters from the older cartoon series.

Mummy Museum Mystery (75900) – $14.99
Mystery Plane Adventures (75901) – $19.99
The Mystery Machine (75902) – $29.99
Haunted Lighthouse (75903) – $49.99
Mystery Mansion (75904) – $89.99

June 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brickset has uploaded a listing of a new LEGO Ninjago Battle Pack (851342) that will be a LEGO Store exclusive in the near future. The Battle Pack features Kai and Jay as well two of the new Ghost Warrior villains which were introduced in the summer 2015 wave sets with Wooo and Howla. The set also includes a slew of weapons to go along with the characters. There is no pricing of the LEGO Ninjago Battle Pack (851342) but judging from similar sets from other themes, I believe it’ll be priced at $14.99.

LEGO Ideas Modular Library Achieves 10,000 Supporters

June 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Modular Library by JGreeny is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The library features many intricate details including a skylight that is able to open up. Other details of the set include bookshelves, a bike rack, and also 6 minifigures.

The library is another modular project to reach a review stage but it remains to be seen if LEGO actually decides to produce one of these sets. There have been previous projects that are of the modular variety but ultimately did not pass their respective review stages like the Apple Store and the Natural History Museum. It now joins the Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures and the Caterham Super Seven as the projects to reach the Second 2015 Review Stage.

LEGO Jurassic World Toys R Us Building Event on June 20

June 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Mark your calendars! Toys R Us stores will be holding a free LEGO Jurassic World building event on Saturday, June 20 from 12-2pm. Kids will be building a miniature gate that will be seen in the upcoming movie. The build is pretty simple but the main draw of the set will be the printed 2×4 Jurassic World plate. Be sure to get there early as these events tend to run out pretty quickly especially when it’s a licensed build. As far as I know, this will be a US only event.
