Designer Con 2014 is coming up this weekend at the Pasadena Convention Center. BrickStuds has come up with a very cool LEGO building theme called Comic Bricks! The idea behind Comic Bricks! is to take any comic book cover and build it using LEGO bricks. Members of BrickStuds, LUGOLA, SandLUG, FBTB, and BrickNerd will be collaborating to display a number of these builds. There’s a Flickr group going that already shows off some of these MOCs.
That’s not the only thing that will be happening at Designer Con. FBTB will also be hosting a speed build event and where the contestants will be building the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes UCS The Tumbler (76023).
Tickets to Designer Con 2014 are available for purchase for only $5 per person or $10 for both days. Tickets will be $7 at the door.
LEGO has just announced the latest LEGO Ideas projects to become official sets. There were six projects qualified for the review and after very long consideration, the LEGO Bird Project by DeTomaso will become LEGO Ideas #009.
But wait, that’s not it! The Big Bang Theory by Alatariel and GlenBricker based on the hit TV series will also become LEGO Ideas set #010. Ellen Kooijman, aka Alatariel, also becomes the first person to have two LEGO Ideas projects become official sets with the first one being the wildly popular Research Institute (21110).
LEGO is still working on the details for the final product design, pricing, and availability are still being worked out. They are still evaluating the two Doctor Who projects so there’s still may be a chance that one of the two may become an official LEGO set as well.
The second 2014 LEGO Review stage is already underway and those result should be coming in late January 2015.
The next playable character to be revealed for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is the Prime Earth version of Vibe, Cisco Ramon. He is one of the youngest members of the Justice League of America and has vibrational powers which he acquired when his DNA was rewritten by inter-dimensional forces during Darkseid’s invasion of Earth.
Target stores are in the process of setting up their Christmas section and every year they have different LEGO polybags for stocking stuffers. For this year, one of these polybags is the LEGO Legends of Chima Frax’s Phoenix Flyer (30264).
This polybag was offered as freebies over in the UK and in Europe earlier this year but now we have a chance to purchase it here in the US. There’s no word on pricing at this time but I’ll update this post when I have details. Frax’s Phoenix Flyer (30264) will go for $3.99 each.
Thanks for Chris from Bricks on the Dollar and his follower Mike for the heads up.
