LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
A few weeks ago, we reported that the new LEGO DC Comicss Super Heroes The Batman Tumbler (30300) polybag had started showing up at Target stores. Ever since then, I’ve been looking around the stores here with no avail until today. I found just hanging around by its lonesome self and gave it a new home. The polybag consists of 57 pieces and retails for $3.99. The price per ratio is exceptionally good for this set coming in at $0.07/piece.
Brickset’s database update has yielded a cool little set that you may start to find at LEGOLAND parks in the near future. This new set shows a family in miniland scale at the entrance of the park. One of the kids is dressed up in a Castle theme outfit while the other is in a fairy outfit. After looking at the instructions, there are 320 pieces used to build the set. There’s no word on the price for this LEGOLAND Entrance with Family (40115) set as of this time. It looks like it’s time to make a trip to LEGOLAND California for me!
The second part of The LEGO Movie The Emmet Awards contest is now available for kids to enter. The contest that started today is called the “Double Decker Contest” and you have to build something useful. Then you have to build something else that is useful and combine the two to create something double useful. Upload your image and you’re entered. Only kids under the age of 18 are qualified to enter. Remember the winner of this contest will go up against other contest winners throughout the event.
Contest #2 (March): The Double Decker Award. – Can you take something around you, stack it up and make it double awesome using LEGO bricks and your creativity?
If you want to try out the new LEGO The Hobbit Video Game, now you can. LEGO and TT Games has released the demo for it and you can play through one of the levels.
Whilst traversing High Pass over The Misty Mountains, Thorin Oakenshield and his company of Dwarves accidentally set up camp on top of a secret entranceway in to Goblin Town.
The player is tasked with battling the Goblin King and then navigating the perilous gangways and boardwalks of Goblin Town in a frenzied escape!
The demo is 550 MB and will only work for Windows 8, 7, XP, and Vista. The file is not compatible for the Mac. Head over to the download page to get your copy of the demo. We’ll have a video review up of the demo later today.
Remember that Gamestop has a bonus exclusive Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure when you pre-order the game. The game will be available on April 8th.
When the images of the new LEGO Star Wars Microfighters first came out last year for this current wave, I was a thousand times more excited for these set than the regular system sets. These Microfighters are miniature models, aka chibi-style, of their regular counterparts. These new sets have also replaced the Planets sets.
The first Microfighters set that we have for review is the Clone Turbo Tank (75028). The set has 96 pieces and retails for $9.99. The contents of the box includes a small instruction booklet, two unnumbered bags, and two loose 1×10 black Technic brick with holes.
Earlier today, an image of the new LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059) was presumably found in the new LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary: Updated and Expanded
The book also has updated their “Beyond the Bricks” chapter where it behind-the-scenes on how the sets are made by the designers. As with many other LEGO books by DK, there will also be an exclusive minifigure included. It hasn’t been revealed of who it will be. DK has noted they will reveal who it will be very soon. It has been rumored that it will be another variant of Luke Skywalker. If you’re a fan of the previous LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, you’ll surely be a fan of this version as well. Amazon
The LEGO Movie minisite has been updated with a new section called Create & Combine in which they provide downloadable instructions for some really cool looking builds. Provided that you have the correct sets, you will be able to build these new vehicles. The last build is Emmet’s Dimensional Portal Machine and LEGO has only provided the pieces to create it. There’s nothing to combine on that build. These instructions give builders an inspiration to combine other sets they may have to create something unique.
The above image is called the Ice Cream Cruiser and it combines the Master Builder Academy Level – Space Designer (20200) and The LEGO Movie Ice Cream Machine (70804).
LEGO City Airport Fire Truck (60061) + Ninjago Kai Fighter (70721).

LEGO Creator Sunset Speeder (31017) + Legends of Chima Lion Legend Beast (70123)
