The latest playable character revealed for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is courtesy of Gamestop is Hush. His real name is Thomas Elliot and was Bruce Wayne’s best friend during their childhood. Later on, he became one of Batman’s greatest enemies. He wants to take revenge by ruining Bruce’s life. Hush’s signature weapons are his dual handguns.

There are some new details regarding the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Raccoon (5002145) polybag via Mr. Elijah Timms on Eurobricks. The polybag is a Toys R Us exclusive and he mentions that they won’t be available until November 16th and will be sold for $4.99 each. Before it was speculated that it would go with the Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-Ray.
Most likely the shipping box that it came in probably said “Hold until November 16” with the value being at $4.99 each and the employees didn’t know what promo it was with. I’ll try to get more details later this week to see if the Rocket Raccoon will be sold as a stand-alone polybag or packaged with a future promotion.
Update: Jason from The Brick Show has confirmed that the Rocket Raccoon will be a stand-alone polybag at $4.99 each but they won’t be available for purchase until the “strict” 11/16 street date. Below is a picture of the bin they were in while the LEGO rep was putting them out.
As we all know by now, there will be a new theme coming in 2015 called LEGO Speed Champions.

The sets will be available in stores and on Shop@Home starting in March 2015.

Beginning from March 2015, builders of all ages, with fuel in their veins, can now create the speeding-bullet cars at home. The LEGO Group has now announced its partnership with the three automobile manufacturers Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche resulting in a new, high-speed product line for building the most favourite cars from LEGO bricks: the LEGO Speed Champions.

A large red Ferrari truck drives up – together with the Ferrari F14 T Racing car.

Today was the November 2014 Monthly Mini Build event at LEGO Stores. For this month’s build, it was a cool-looking Rocket (40103). Not only you get the aircraft, you also got the build the launching pad and tower as well as the command center building. There are 47 pieces in the build itself and also some leftover pieces. If you were able to get one of the Rocket (40103) sets, it makes a nice display piece.
For the December 2014 Monthly Mini Build, it will be a Christmas-themed build with a mini Gingerbread House. Although it doesn’t show on the December 2014 LEGO Store Calendar, it will be held on December 2nd at 5pm local time.
You may have noticed that the mini builds haven’t been listed on the store calendar for last two months of the year. From what I’ve been hearing from different sources, the December 2014 Mini Build will be the last one for the foreseeable future. From what’s been said, LEGO has no plans on bringing it back in 2015 and there’s no word if anything will be replacing the mini builds or not.
Obviously, this is a little disappointing because many kids as well as adults do look forward to the events every month. It was a fun way for people who go to the events every month to catch up with each other while the kids are building. Next month’s Gingerbread House could be the very last Monthly Mini Build ever so if you want to get one, head … Continue
German toy shop Spielwaren-Bludau has the official images for some of the 2015 LEGO Juniors sets. We’ve already seen the Pirate Treasure Hunt (10679) but now we can see two more sets in next year’s LEGO Juniors lineup. There are supposedly two more sets out there that have no images yet, Fire Suitcase and Supermarket Suitcase.
For the past couple of days, I’ve been slacking on the playable character reveals for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. Here’s a recap for all the characters that have been revealed during those days. There is only a week left until the game is released here in the US.
Composite Superman is a character by the name of Joseph Meach who has a number of the Legion of Super Heroes’ powers. He used his shapeshifting powers to form his costume to depict half Superman and half Batman.
Heat Wave is one of the Flash’s more frequent enemies. He has an obsession of fire which eventually led to the death of his family. He is currently a member of the Rogues.
Firestorm is a super hero who has the ability to transmute elements. He is a member of the Justice League of America although he’s only a junior member.
Ambush Bug is a super hero who suffers from mental problems. His costume became permantely attached to his body and he gained teleportation powers.
Bane isn’t a really a new character reveal but it does show the differences between his regular minifigure and the bigfig version.
Finally, there are official images of a couple of the 2015 LEGO Creator sets courtesy of Toys R Us and Spielwaren-Bludau. There are still no images yet of the Red Go-Kart (31030), Future Flyer (31034), Beach Hut (31035), and the Toy & Grocery Shop (31036). We’ll update this post once those images are available later on. The LEGO Creator 2015 sets will be available late December/early January.
