LEGO Marvel GOTG Rocket’s Warbird SDCC 2014 Exclusive

LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy - SDCC 2014 Exclusive - Rocket's Warbird

The Wall Street Journal has revealed one of this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive sets, the LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket’s Warbird. The set will include 145 pieces and will retail for $39.99. Rocket Raccoon will have a different outfit than what he has with the Knowhere Escape Mission (76020), sporting the Guardians of the Galaxy outfit in this exclusive.

If you are going to be at SDCC 2014, be prepared to wait a long time in line to pick one of these bad boys up as these exclusives will be in limited quantities sold per day. There will also probably be a limit to how many that you can get. One of the bad things is the SDCC scalpers will be in full force hoping to make a profit on the sets and taking it away from real LEGO fans. I’m hoping to be able to pick up one of Rocket’s Warbird to do a review on after the convention. Thanks to Jim for emailing the report in.

LEGO Ideas UCS All Terrain Armoured Transport Achieves 10,000 Supporters

July 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The UCS All Terrain Armoured Transport (AT-AT) by Cavegod is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is a massive buidl and uses around 6,000 LEGO elements with a total weight of around 17 pounds.

Since the project did hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas, it will probably not be approved by the LEGO Jury due to The LEGO Group’s ongoing relationship with Lucasfilm for official LEGO Star Wars sets. This has happened before with Mb_brick’s UCS Sandcrawler from last year. Even on the official comments for 5,000 supporters, LEGO said:

While we welcome projects based on current licenses like Star Wars in the LEGO Review, please keep in mind that a project based on an existing LEGO license has a smaller chance of passing the LEGO Review than other projects.

If you’ve been wanting an AT-AT, don’t fret. The summer 2014 wave of LEGO Star Wars sets are already showing up in stores and there will be one, albeit a lot smaller, in this wave (75054). Although Cavegod’s project will probably not pass the review stage, it is still an amazing achievement just to get 10,000 supporters.

The Labyrinth Marble Maze by JKBrickworks now becomes the highest supported project on LEGO Ideas.

This morning, we reported that the original Caped Crusader Adam West will be voicing a least one character in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. TT Games has just announced that famous voice actor Troy Baker will be returning to do the voice for Batman again for Beyond Gotham.

Baker has previously voiced a few other LEGO video games including LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes as Batman (Bruce Wayne), Two-Face (Harvey Dent), and Sinestro. He also did the voices for Fandral, Groot, and Hawkeye (Clint Barton) on LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. His most well known role was Booker DeWitt from Bioshock Infinite and Joel from The Last of Us. Check out his full resume on Wikipedia. Troy Baker will also be at the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham at San Diego Comic Con 2014 on Sunday, July 27 in Room 6BCF at 1:00 p.m.
