Guy Himber and the team at CrazyBricks, creator of the successful SKULLS! Custom Accessories Kickstarter, has another project for you to support. This time he has taken weapons and items from the The World of Munchkin card game and turned them into accessories for your LEGO minifigures as Munchkin Bricks. Each base set comes with the following items for your minifigures: The Unnatural Axe, The Rat on the Stick, The Triple-Barreled Shotgun, MUNCHKINOMICON!, Chibithulhu, The Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment, The Cute Shoulder Dragon, and The Duck of DOOM! There are also three items that you can unlock if the project hits certain milestones before the project ends. Each set comes in one of the four colors of your choosing: Gun-Metal Grey, Brown, Green or Glow-In-the-Dark. These items will fit with LEGO and other construction minifigures.
As of this writing, there are already 178 backers who have pledged $6,981 of the $15,000 goal with 32 days left of the project. Check out everything CrazyBricks has to offer on the Munchkin Bricks Kickstarter page.
In more LEGO polybag news, a couple more are now available at Toys R Us stores and online. THe first one is the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mikey’s Mini-Shellraiser (30271). It contains 47 pieces and is sold for $4.99 each. This one was first reported back in March where it was found at a local toy store.
The other polybag that is available at Toys R Us is the LEGO Friends Emma’s Flower Stand (30112). This polybag has 33 pieces and also goes for $4.99. This polybag was first available at Walmart during Easter time.
Finally, there’s a new LEGO Friends polybag (30115) that has popped up on Bricklink via just2good on Eurobricks. It features Olivia in a green boat and it ties in with the jungle sets that are coming out this summer. There’s no official name of the polybag or the availability at this time.
Update: The polybag below is called the Jungle Boat as seen in the Brick Queen’s video of the LEGO Friends Character Encyclopedia. Thanks to Fabienne for the heads up.
For the second time in a month, a project by DarthKy, in collaboration with GlenBricker, has achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Last week, their Assault on Wayne Manor became the first project to hit 10k after the change from LEGO CUUSOO to LEGO Ideas and today their X-Men: X-Mansion became the third to do so.
Like the previous project, they have gone with a modular design that folds up to show all the different rooms of the X-Mansion such as Cerebro and The Danger Room. They have also proposed a plethora of characters, many of which have not seen the light as official minifigures such as Professor Xavier, Beast, and Gambit.
The project now reaches the second Review Stage of the year and DarthKy becomes the first creator to have two of their own projects in a single Review Stage whether it was LEGO CUUSOO or LEGO Ideas. DarthKy’s two projects joins the Invisible Hand so far with the deadline in September for more to join. The LEGO Lightsabers now become the highest supported project on LEGO Ideas.
As we mentioned before back in February, there were reports of a LEGO Ninjago movie by Warner Bros. that could be hitting theaters. According to Variety, the movie has a release date of September 23, 2016. Dan Lin and Roy Lee will join Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers for the new Ninjago movie and Charlie Bean will be directing it. It’s still to early to know what the movie will be about but it will probably have the same type of action/adventure style the popular cartoon series currently has.
In addition, the Ninjago movie will hit theaters before the sequel to The LEGO Movie, who has a release date of May 26, 2017. By adding another movie from the LEGO Universe, this could prove to be pivotal in strengthening the relationship between The LEGO Group and Warner Bros. which means the whole franchise will stay with the movie studio. The LEGO Movie opened on February 7th and has grossed $460 million worldwide with $254 million coming domestically.
If you missed out on The LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer (30282) polybag at Toys R Us a few months ago, you’ll be glad to know that they are now showing up at Target stores. It was found in the impulse items sections of the checkout aisles where they usually stock LEGO polybags. The Super Secret Police Enforcer retails for $4.29. You mileage may vary. Thanks to Nathan for posting the image above.
