Brickset has updated their database with instructions from LEGO Customer Service and has revealed the LEGO The Hobbit Legolas Greenleaf polybag (30215) that we reported last month. The polybag consists of Legolas, a flick-fire contraption, and a target to shoot at. Check out the PDF here. There’s no word on pricing and availability at this time.
Christmas is just around the corner and it’s time to set up your Christmas tree. If you’re looking to do something different, LEGO artist Chris McVeigh has given something neat you can do using LEGO bricks that you may already have. Over on his website, he has provided instructions in PDF format of various build-it-yourself ornaments that you can add to your tree. There are many ornaments from different themes available to choose from ranging from foods, lantern-style, barrel-style, and even sci-fi ones. There are even some pretty cool Star Wars ones such as the Slave I and the Millennium Falcon. If you don’t have the bricks, you can also purchase the kits from his store. Check out all the things you can build to add some flair to your Christmas tree!
On Facebook, the LEGO Minecraft team are in need of some more input for their upcoming sets. Yesterday, they posted a couple of early prototype images and asked which biome fans preferred, the desert or the jungle. The team is actually looking for input on the setting and not the designs. Head over to Facebook and like the image for the setting you like the most. To see what other aspects of the sets they are working on, head over to our main LEGO Minecraft page.
As we reported last month, there are a couple of new polybags coming out for the new LEGO The Hobbit. A few people over on Eurobricks has gotten a hold of the new Lake-Town Guard (30216) from Toys R Us stores. They are currently sold out online but are available in stores. If you’re a polybag collector or an army builder, you might want to check your local stores to see if they have them in stock.
While working on our LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar post, I was surfing the advent calendar minisite and in the prizes tab, I found a poster for the new 2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters. There’s been a debate in the LEGO community on the subtheme. Some people like it, others don’t. For me, the Microfighters are the 2014 Star Wars sets I’m most excited for. What are your guys’ thoughts on them and will you be picking any of them up?
It is December and as a tradition here at The Brick Fan, we will be doing the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar (75023). Each day, we will be opening a panel to see what we will be getting inside. At the end of the calendar, we will be comparing this year’s version to 2011, and 2012. The set contains 254 pieces and retails for $39.99 but you can easily find it on sale at various retailers.
This year, the LEGO Star Wars minisite has an advent calendar game that you can play using various characters. You start off playing with Jango Fett in a Santa costume but each Sunday of the month, you get a code to enter to unlock a new character to play with. The objective of the game is to reach the Christmas tree at the end of the stage while collecting a number of Star Wars vehicles. If you collect all the items in the stage, it looks like you can unlock some short videos.
