Having Some Fun Building a LEGO UCS Invisible Jet

October 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Reddit, user John Wray, aka JimmyLegs50, has created something fun during the holiday weekend with his kids, the LEGO DC Super Heroes UCS Invisible Jet which includes a Wonder Woman minifigure. The set contains 3,200 invisible pieces and even the instructions are invisible. Of course, no such thing exists (yet) but that doesn’t keep him from having some fun with his kids with the help of Photoshop.

There will be an official set next year with an Invisible Jet next year with the Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas (76026) set but it’s not as cool as what John has done. Cool dad points added. Check out the rest of the photos here.

Will There Be LEGO Sets Based on the Civil War Storyline?

October 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Variety is reporting that Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to sign on for Captain America 3 which paves the way for a new phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Civil War storyline.

If you’re familiar with the Cival War storyline, it pits Tony Stark and Steve Rogers against each other when they feud over the Superhero Registration Act. The Act forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their true identities to the government. Of course, many characters are for it like Stark and others aren’t like Rogers. The Superhero Registration Act includes many Marvel characters in the storyline including Spider-Man. Currently the Spider-Man franchise is owned by Sony but there are rumors they may be sharing the franchise with Marvel so both companies can use the character.

Will this news translate into official LEGO sets? My guess is probably since this is one of the most popular storylines in Marvel’s history but it’s still too early to tell. Captain America 3 won’t happen for a few more years but it’s never too early to speculate. What minifigures do you want to see in sets if LEGO does produce sets based on the Civil War? For reference, here’s a list of characters who are involved in the storyline.

LEGO Fourth Quarter Pick-A-Brick Elements

For the second part of our report on the fourth quarter elements on the LEGO Pick-A-Brick Wall, there we have elements that are new for the wall and are good for general building. If you remember from our first report from a few days ago, those elements go well with The LEGO Movie and LEGO Legends of Chima builds.

For the general parts list, there are some fairly hard-to-find bright colored elements that could be useful for many builds. These elements include 2×4 lime plates, 2×2 pink bricks, 2×4 pink bricks, 2×2 tan tiles, 1×2 dark azure bricks, 2×3 brown bricks, 1×4 medium lavender plates, 2×1 magenta 45 slopes, and 1×2 lime jumper plates. Most of the parts come from the LEGO Friends line but they do give some variety and opens up some new color options for you to use for your builds.

LEGO One Piece Thousand Sunny by Orion Pax

Earlier this year, we featured a MOC from my of my favorite manga/anime series, the Thousand Sunny from One Piece. Unfortunately, the images that it was hosted on was taken down so we have a replacement.

Alex Jones (Orion Pax) never cease to amaze and he has created his version of the famous Straw Hat Pirates ship. The MOC is very accurate to the show with the custom sail piece and the lion figurehead at the bow. Check out more images of the Thousand Sunny on Alex’s site.

Today was the LEGO Star Wars Rebels building event at Toys R Us stores. If you were lucky to be there early, you got a chance to build a Micro Ghost ship from the animated TV series and take it home. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the event but fellow SandLUG member Charlie did and he was kind enough to send us the instructions for the build. You can either download the PDF copy here or check out the images below to build your own. Thanks Charlie!

Brickset is reporting there will be a new LEGO Brand Retail Store model (40145) that will be given away for new stores that are opening next year. The current set (3300003) has been given away at grand opening events since 2012 and it looks like it’s time for a little change.

The new set has a more modernized look and it opens up to reveal the store inside which shows the Pick-A-Brick Wall, the display cases, and a cashier. The outside of the building shows Brickley to the left of the door. Check out the image below to see the details of the new LEGO Store set (40145).

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron Set Details

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After a couple of days of fairly quiet news in LEGO world, Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has stirred up the pot with information about the 2015 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. He has detailed some of the minifigures and prices for next year’s lineup for the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets that will be released next summer. Sir von Lego has given credible information before so I do believe the info is trustworthy.

Avengers “Iron Man” (76029) – 14.99 EUR
Avengers Offroader, with Thor (76030) – 19.99 EUR
Avengers Hulk, Scarlet Witch (76031) – 34.99 EUR
Avengers Space Ship, Captain America (76032) – 79.99 EUR
Avengers Tower (76038) – 69.99 EUR
Avengers Fortress (76041) – 59.99 EUR

From the list above, it looks like we’re finally getting an Avengers Tower that everybody has been asking for and from the price listed, it’ll be a fairly large one with some playability features. Of course, those aren’t the final set names but at least there are some details of who will be included in the sets.

On an related/unrelated note, I’ve received word from a source that we will also be seeing another Avengers set that nobody has noted yet, the Avengers Helicarrier. It will be a UCS type set with the price point around $300 and will be available next summer. I’m going to take this information as a rumor for now but it’ll be cool for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to finally see a UCS set considering that we got one for LEGO … Continue
