LEGO Star Wars FAN EXPO Canada - The Ghost

Canadian LEGO fans will have something to cheer about when they attend FAN EXPO Canada 2014 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from August 28-31. Like with San Diego Comic Con 2014, they will also have an exclusive LEGO set being sold at the convention, the LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost.

It is exactly the same as the SDCC version but it includes the Kanan Jarrus minifigure instead of Chopper.

Some LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2015 Set Details

August 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

A few days ago, we reported on some rumored LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes 2015 sets and now, some LEGO Marvel Super Heroes details have emerged. An Eurobricks member named Hulk_Smash has given some hints of what would be coming out next year for the Marvel side of the LEGO sets.

First up are some sets based on the Ant-Man movie that will be coming out next summer starring Paul Rudd.

Next is a set based on the Iron Man Hulkbuster suit which is presumably an Avengers: Age of Ultron set. The Hulkbuster would be aroudn the size of Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy set (76020) and can fit a regular Iron Man minifigure inside. Earlier this week, we had a guest post and Joe suggested that such a set may happen and it looks like it could be happening.

Hulk_Smash also has some information about an Invisible Jet for LEGO DC Comic Super Heroes. From what he learned from his source, the jet is made completely of clear pieces similar to what was shown in the LEGO Batman: Visual Dictionary (see below). He was also told that the Invisible Jet is connected with the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie.

So there you have it. Some more juicy little tidbids to whet your appetite about the LEGO Super Heroes sets that could be coming out in the future. Just to give some context on Hulk_Smash, he did correctly give information about the 2013 LEGO Super Heroes sets so he does … Continue

LEGO Minecraft The Cave (21113) & The Farm (21114) Official Images

August 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 73 Comments

As I come back from a busy night and while checking Eurobricks, there is some new information about the new LEGO Minecraft minifigure scale sets. Actually there’s no new information but thethreevirtues channel on YouTube has revealed of what looks to be some official images of the minfigure scale LEGO Minecraft sets including The Cave (21113) and The Farm (21114). We first saw images of these sets a few months back but here we get some clearer images. The mobs and the animals looks very close to the ones we’ve seen earlier in the LEGO Minecraft team’s update videos so I do believe these are the legit sets.

These sets are scheduled to be released later this year. Other sets in the wave include The First Night (21115), Creative Box (21116), The Ender Dragon (21117), and The Mine (21118). What are your thoughts on these Minecraft sets which are very different from the Micro World sets?

Update: There are now descriptions of the sets from Hamleys Toy Shop

The Cave (21113)

Venture into The Cave on a dangerous quest for vital resources! Wield the iron pickaxe to dig and battle against hostile zombie and spider mobs. Blast out valuable ores and minerals with the TNT and combine the flowing water and lava to create precious obsidian! When you’re done battling and mining, restore your energy levels with the chest of bread. Proceed with caution! Rebuild the set for more LEGO Minecraft creations! Includes 2 minifigures with assorted accessories: Steve and a zombie, plus a spider
