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.

Ideas on Possible Avengers: Age of Ultron LEGO Sets

August 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

A few months back, Marvel Entertainment announced their licensing partners for product lines based on the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie that will be coming out next year and LEGO is included as one of the companies. This is a guest post by Joe Hammond on possible sets that could be released by LEGO. We are not claiming that these sets are true by any stretch of the imagination but these are just ideas of what could be coming out.

Avengers: Age of Ultron comes out May 1st, 2015 and we are all excited for the possible LEGO sets that will be tied to the movie’s release (recently confirmed by LEGO). With an expanding cast of characters and many new uniforms it looks to be another amazing opportunity for LEGO to expand upon their Marvel sets and minifigs. In this article, I will summarize the information we have for the sequel (including released pictures and concept art) and compare it to the set compositions from the first Avengers movie to take the first crack at possible Age of Ultron LEGO sets.

First, a few things about the released LEGO Marvel Sets we have received so far. LEGO has been producing sets since April 2012. This is an amazing opportunity for fans of Marvel and LEGO to combine two of their favorite loves while Marvel popularity is at an all time high with their movies and cartoons on Disney television. However, it seems from the outside that LEGO’s diversified portfolio and desire to maintain a robust number … Continue

Images of LEGO The Hobbit October 2014 Wave Surfaces

August 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Lord of the Brick has revealed 3 images of the box art for the new LEGO The Hobbit sets that will be released this October in addition to The Lonely Mountain (79018). Some of these sets were first reported at the 2014 London Toy Fair. Below we see the Witch-king Battle (79015) which has 101 pieces and includes Elrond, Galadriel, and the Witch-king of Angmar. It is reported this set will go for around $14.99.

The Attack on Lake-town (79016) has 313 pieces and will retail for $29.99. There are 5 minifigures in this set including Bard the Bowman, Bain, Tauriel, and 2 orcs. This version of Bard is not the one from San Diego Comic Con.

Finally, we have The Battle of Five Armies (79017). It has 472 pieces and will retail for about $59.99. From what I can see, there are 7 minifigures in this set including Bard, Dain II Ironfoot, Azog, two orcs, two unknown minifigures, and an eagle. It looks like the Bard from SDCC is in this set.

Update: Images removed per LEGO’s request.

If you weren’t able to get the LEGO Ideas Research Institute (21110) on Shop@Home, you may want to keep want to keep an eye out at Toys R Us. They currently have the set listed on their website but is currently unavailable for purchase at this time.

There have been reports that people have purchased the Exo Suit (21109) from TRU and have received their shipment. Whether the Research Institute will really be available at TRU remains to be seen but it’s still worth it to keep tabs if you want one. Thanks to Clutch for the heads up.

The Art of LEGO Design Book Review

August 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Whether you’re a younger fan of LEGO who just got your very first set or an AFOL who has so many sets that you don’t know what to do with them, you’ve probably had thoughts on building something on your own using parts that you already own. If you’re like me and you have builder’s block, you look online for some inspiration from sites like on Flickr or MOCpages. You’ve probably seen some things that make you wonder how the builders created them. This is where a book by No Starch Press called The Art of LEGO Design: Creative Ways to Build Amazing Models by Jordan Scwartz comes in.

Jordan, aka Sir Nadroj, was a LEGO Product Designer in Billund who was on the LEGO Creator/Creator Expert team and has worked on sets like the Palace Cinema. He has since moved on pursue his studies but LEGO is still a big part in his life and he has won numerous awards for his creations.

The preface goes through the history of LEGO as many book tend to do to an extent. The introduction section gives you an insight on how this book can be of value to you. If you’re looking for step-by-step instructions on how to build things, then this book may not be for you. This book is geared more towards giving advice and ideas on how to build your own creations.

The first chapter goes over the basic things like colors, shapes, and sizes of your desired creation. It also talks about … Continue
