LEGO CUUSOO Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair by PopCreators is the latest project to reached 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. If you’re not familiar with Poptropica, it is an online game created by Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series, and most of it’s players are young children and younger teenagers. Players go to different islands and complete quests to earn credits to spend at the store. The CUUSOO project is based on the lair inside the Carrot Cake Factory that Dr. Hare set up on 24 Carrot Island. The project features the evil genius bunny in his laboratory with accessories that a villain usually has as well as the Giant Rabbot.

Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair joins quite a few projects that qualify for the Fall 2013 Review stage including the Female Minifigure Set, the ATLAS Mini Model, FTL: Faster Than Light, and the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project. With Poptropica being the 5th project to qualify for the review, I believe the 2013 Fall Review will have the most projects to be reviewed in it’s history and it may have a few more projects joining before the end of the month. The Fall deadline still a few weeks away and the Macross VF-1 Valkyrie by maxvf1 and Teekay’s Ghostbusters projects have a decent shot in joining the list as well. Congratulations to PopCreators and to the other qualifiers for reaching the review stage!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, PopCreators!

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Set Descriptions

August 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

I’ve recently got a chance to see the images of the 2014 wave of the LEGO Star Wars sets and it’s pretty interesting. The boxes are dark colored and feature Darth Vader on the top right corner. The “Recruitment” sets we’ve been reading about are chibi-styled vehicles that the minifigures sit on top of and are labeled “Microfighters”. They are lower priced sets that are portable and allow kids to carry in their pockets. Kids are encouraged to collect and trade the sets amongst themselves. For the system sets, they are described as lower priced sets and are tied to the Lucasfilms movies and The Yoda Chronicles. The sets are listed for a February launch.

LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe - Batman: The Riddler Chase

darth_tater over on Eurobricks has revealed the first wave of the 2014 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes sets. There are no images except for The Riddler Chase (76012) as of this time. There are four sets in this wave and will be available late this year/early 2014.

The Penguin Face-Off (76010) – Minifigures include Batman, the Penguin, and two robot penguin henchmen. Batman comes with a jet-ski type vehicle and the Penguin has a duck-like flotation vehicle like the one in Batman Returns. This set is the smallest set of the wave.

Man-Bat Attack (76011) – Minifigures include Batman, Robin, and Man-Bat. Batman’s vehicle is a Batcopter looking vehicle. This is a small-to-medium sized set.

The Riddler Chase (76012) – Minifigures include Batman, the Flash, and the Riddler. Batman has a Batmobile and the Riddler has a green drag racer type vehicle. This set contains 304 pieces and will retail for $29.99. See more images below.

The Joker Steam Roller (76013) – Minifigures include Batman, the Joker, a possibility of Nightwing, and two other villains. Batman has a jet with wings that have similar functions as the Republic Striker-class Starfighter (9497). The Joker has a Steam Roller with a lot of colors.

Thanks to Groove Bricks for the heads up.

Update: Rich over at Brick Fanatics reports that we will probably be seeing the Green Lantern minifigure in 2014. If that’s the case, then it’ll most likely be in the The Joker Steam Roller set since there was an unidentified hero from earlier … Continue

Ewok Village (10236) & Sydney Opera House (10234) Available For LEGO Vips on 8/16/13

August 13, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re a LEGO VIP member (you should sign up if you’re not), you will be able to get the new LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) as well as the LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House (10234) on Friday, August 16th. They will be available in stores as well as on Shop@Home. You have to be signed in with your LEGO ID to be able to purchase it online.

Unless you really like the LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230), I would suggest waiting a couple more weeks for the official release. That way, you can get the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) as well as the LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybags for the Ewok Village. For the Sydney Opera House, you’ll only be eligible for the VW Camper Van with your purchase.
