LEGO Ideas Exo Suit and Research Institute Availability Part 2

August 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A while ago, I emailed LEGO just to see if the Research Institute (21110) would be coming back to Shop@Home and I finally got a response from LEGO Customer Service. Unfortunately as you probably have known already, it is listed as “Sold Out” and will not be coming back at all on Shop@Home but will continue to be sold at LEGO Stores.

Thank you so much for getting in touch with us.

I’m so sorry but we aren’t making the Research Institute any more. This set was LEGO® Ideas set, and only made in limited quantities. The Research Institute has already sold out completly for our stock online. I know how disappointing this can be.

This set will continue to be sold in our LEGO Stores though, so if you have one close by I would recommend giving them a call. You can find all of our stores listed at stores.LEGO.com.

We appreciate your comments, so I’ll be passing your interest in the Research Institute on to the design team. You never know, some of the old treasures might make a comeback! This is exactly what happened with another LEGO Ideas set based on Minecraft. That set was so popular that we ended up bring it back, and making new additions to the line. I have my fingers crossed that it happens with this one as well!

At the same time, the LEGO Ideas blog has stated that more of both the Exo Suit (21109) and the Research Institute will be available again in the future … Continue

The LEGO Movie Batman and Super Angry Kitty Attack (70817)

Idle Hands is back with more information about 2015 LEGO sets and this time it involves The LEGO Movie. We already knew about the Batman and Super Angry Kitty Attack (70817) from San Diego Comic Con 2014 which has 115 pieces and retails for $9.99 but there are now two more sets revealed for the January 2015 wave of sets. I hope there will be more sets for this wave and three just isn’t enough. Again, treat this news as only rumors until there is confirmation by LEGO.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Box Art

I have a review for the game as well a guide for the Red Deadpool Bricks available to read if you desire.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes 2015 Sets Revealed

August 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025)

Idle Hands has revealed a list of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that will be coming out next year including the Green Lantern Vs Sinestro (76025) that was seen at San Diego Comic Con 2014. From looking at the list, it seems that the sets will be connected with the Justice League characters.

Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025)
Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas (76026)
Black Manta Deep Sea Strike (76027)
Darkseid Invasion (76028)
Brainiac Attack (76040)

To give some context on who the heroes could be, the Flash will probably be in set 76026 since Gorilla Grodd is the primary enemy of him. Aquaman could be in set 76025 because Black Manta is his arch-enemy. Superman will probably be returning to a couple more DC sets because he and Darkseid are long-time rivals as well as Brainiac. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more heroes included in these last two sets.

Although there are no images of the sets yet besides the Green Lantern one, you can check out what some of the villain characters could look like from LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham below. Until confirmed by other sources, I’ll treat this news as a rumor for now.

Update: Rumor has it that the Brainiac Attack (76040) will have Superman, Brainiac, Supergirl, and Martian Manhunter minifigures.
