LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham EB Games Australia Pre-Order Bonus

July 2, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

EB Games Australia has posted a store exclusive for pre-ordering LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham but it may be an addition to the normal exclusive minifigures that we normally get with LEGO video games. For pre-ordering any version of LEGO Batman 3, you will get the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batman Tumbler (30300) polybag.

During E3, Arthur Parsons did a Twitch interview and he mentioned something about a physical Space Batman minifigure but didn’t say if it was the exclusive bonus for pre-ordering the game or not. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be released later this fall so there’s still a lot of time left for the bonus minifigure to be revealed.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Box Teaser on German Calendar

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) German Calendar Teaser

A reader by the name of Fred has informed us in the comments of an earlier post that the German LEGO Calendar/Catalog has teased part of the box of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109). There’s no other details but from what little we can see from the box, it looks really cool. Also in the image is part of the arm of the Exo Suit so you can kind of see how it was created. The image lists the set being available on August 1st for Germany but I think that date is worldwide.

Update: Fred also mentions that the set will include more than one minifigure so we’ll probably get both members of Salvage Team Alpha Zero Nine. The listing in the ad also states 321 pieces and we already knew it would retail for $34.99.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Fast Approaching

Peter Reid has teased another image of his countdown to the reveal of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109). It looks like Salvage Team Alpha Zero Nine is getting ever so closer to the door in the Arcadia but what is behind it still remains to be seen. Could the team be face-to-face with their enemies or will they find the Exo Suit behind the doors. The teasing is torture for a lot of us but I’m guessing that the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) could be revealed at Brick Fiesta this weekend in San Antonio, TX. I may be way off but it certainly seems like it considering the amount of steps the Salvage Team has to the door compared to how many days left until the convention.

LEGO Store July 2014 Monthly Mini Build Event Surf Van (40100) Review

July 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Store July 2014 Mini Model Build Event

Today was the July 2014 Monthly Mini Build event at the LEGO Store and this month’s build was the Old School Surf Van (40100). The van consists of 46 pieces and it includes some rare pieces including a lime 2×4 wedge plate which has only appeared in 3 other sets and the white surfboard which was only in 2 sets.

I’m not sure the Surf Van was modeled after a real vehicle but it has some distinct patterns of a Volkswagen Type II Flatbed pickup truck such as windshield and the flat front part of the cab. On top of the Van sits the surfboard and the back has a pair of orange flippers.

Overall, the Old School Surf Van (40100) is a neat set with not much effort to build and it’s great as a summer-themed build. Next month’s mini build is a Monkey (40101). Finally, as usual, it was great seeing my friends as well as fans of the site at the event.

New LEGO Store Pick-A-Brick Wall Third Quarter Elements

July 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

As we mentioned yesterday, it is a new quarter at the LEGO Stores and some LEGO elements on the Pick-A-Brick wall have been changed out with some new ones that we haven’t seen before on the walls. All the elements that have a sign around them will be available in all the LEGO Stores.

Some of these new elements include a trans-light blue jewel, reddish-brown staircases, pink flowers, and the new reddish-brown horses. As you can see from my pictures below, the stock on my horses were extremely low so if you want to stock up on them, you better hurry. I expect them to be very good sellers throughout the quarter. Head over to your local LEGO Store to check out all the new stuff the PAB Wall has to offer. Props to Genevieve for being in charge of changing the elements out at my store.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Reveal Countdown Continues

July 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The next part of what appears to be the countdown to revealing the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) has appeared online and this part even includes a video to go along with it. The image and video shows a couple members of Salvage Team Alpha Zero Nine with a little turtle-looking robot responding to a distress call. The message also mentions of heavily-armed beings outside of where the team is located and they can’t “outrun them on foot.” What if they could outrun them riding the Exo Suit? Hmmmm. As the video fades out, you can also see the LEGO Ideas logo in the static.

From what we’ve seen so far, the Exo Suit (21109) set will have something to do with the Classic Space theme and it may include numerous minifigures. Anticipation is brewing and these short teasers are an awesome marketing tactic by everything that’s involved with the project. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Salvage Team behind those doors.
