Target LEGO Storage Orange Transparent Round Brick 1 with Retro LEGO T-Shirt

Now available at at Target stores and online are some new, exclusive limited time only toys. One of these items is a LEGO Retro Storage Brick and T-Shirt. The orange storage brick is in the shape of a round 1×1 brick that allows you to store your loose LEGO bricks.

The shirt is yellow but unfortunately, it only comes in kids medium size. It shows a couple of LEGO logos throughout the years including the one from 1953 prominently displayed across the chest.

In stores, the LEGO Retro Storage Brick and T-Shirt retails for $19 but online, it’s going for only $15.99 which is a bit strange to why they have different prices. Again, this combo is only available for a very short time, most likely through the holiday season. We will be receiving one for review shortly and will be doing a review on it so stay tuned for that.

LEGO DC Comics: LEGO Batman Be-Leaguered Recap

October 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Today was the premiere of the new special on Cartoon Network of LEGO DC Comics: LEGO Batman Be-Leaguered. The show incorporates a lot of existing LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that have already been released as well minifigures that will be released next year. There are major spoilers ahead so if you haven’t watched the episode yet, you can watch it on Cartoon Network for free.

The show starts off with Batman fending off Man-Bat, the Penguin, and the Joker in a museum to protect the World’s Largest Gem. Superman is also unexpectedly showed up but not to assist Batman but to recruit him to the Justice League in which Batman refers to him as the “Alien.”

With the annoyance of Superman, Batman manages to defeat all three of his foes (with the help of Superman’s heat vision on the Penguin) but at a price. Superman somehow disappears into thin air and the World’s Largest Gem also disappears in front of Batman’s eyes.

Back at the Batcave, Batman is trying to figure out what made Superman disappear. Reluctantly, he calls the Flash for help. Alfred, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin also show up in this scene but that’s the last time we see them in the show. At the end of this scene, Superman is woken up by a mysterious character who has imprisoned him.

In the next scene, Batman and the Flash travel to Egypt where they find ice on the pyramids and deduce that Captain Cold is in the area. There Cold is freezing … Continue

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Toy Workshop (40106)

For the minifigures, you have a male and a female elf. For the male elf, the torso is a dark red flannel shirt and it has in a couple of LEGO City sets before. The dark tans legs that are used are from Bilbo Baggins and many others. He has a smiling expression and the elf ears and green hat piece is the same ones that we’ve seen on other elves.

The female elf is also a combination of parts that we’ve seen before. The blue sweater with purple scarf torso has been used in a couple of older Winter Village sets as well as the 2012 Holiday Set. The legs are short light bluish grey. She has a double-sided face with a smile on one side and a scard look on the other. Again, the elf ears are the same as the male elf. She also has a paintbrush as an accessory.

For the set itself, you have a small toy workshop as well as some already assembled toys including a yellow bulldozer, a green steam engine train, a soldier nutcracker, and a couple of presents.

The toy workshop is a … Continue

More Characters Revealed for LEGO Batman 3 at MCM London Comic Con 2014

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Reverse Flash

During the last day of MCM London Comic Con 2014, the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham panel took place with TT Games Arthur Parsons and Phil Ring. There they revealed three more playable characters, Reverse Flash, Black Canary, and Captain Cold.

This version of Reverse Flash is Eobard Thawne, aka Professor Zoom, who is the arch-nemesis of the Flash. He worshipped the Barry Allen’s version of the Flash so much that he made himself look like Allen using Plastomorph. When Thawne visited the Flash Museum after Allen’s death, he learned that he would be destined to be the Flash’s greatest villain. In LEGO Batman 3, Reverse Flash will probably have the same abilities as the Flash.

Black Canary is a vigilante who has been trained in martial arts and also has a sonic scream attack, the Canary Cry. She was also one of the founding members of the Justice League of America but later left the group. This version of Black Canary is different from the one in the Arrow DLC Pack.

Captain Cold is also another of the Flash’s arch-enemies. He uses a cyclotron as his main weapon to shoot ice that reduces temperatures to absolute zero. Captain Cold will also be in the upcoming 2015 LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas (76026) set.

Lord and Miller Writing Script for The LEGO Movie 2

October 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. has signed Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to write the script for The LEGO Movie 2. The pair wrote and directed the first LEGO Movie which became a blockbuster hit grossing $468 million in theaters. They were slated to produce the sequel but there wasn’t any indication before whether they would do anything else besides producing. There’s no word yet if they will be directing as well. Since Lord and Miller will be writing the script, it’ll be interesting to see which direction the sequel will go, whether it’ll continue off from the first movie or do a new storyline.

The LEGO Movie 2 will be released on May 26, 2017. Dan Lin and Roy Lee will be producing along with Lord and Miller. Jill Wilfert, Matt Ashton, Chris McKay and Kara Lord Piersimoni are signed on to be executive producers.
