LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2014 Set Details

October 8, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few weeks ago, we did a post on what some of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets could be. Today, Kris Kelvin over at Eurobricks has gotten to see some blurry images of the 2014 Marvel sets and have given some descriptions on what we can kind of expect in the future sets. These are stated to be released in March 2014. The user also listed the DC Universe Super Heroes sets and you can read more there as well. We’ve also done a post with some descriptions of the DC sets.

Update: There are also some pricing listed for the sets from the user. They are in Polish Zloty but I’ve converted them to Euros. Since US pricing is somewhat based on Euro prices, we can approximate what they would cost here in the States.

Spider-Man

I’m going to venture a guess that the 2014 Spider-Man sets will be based on the Ultimate Spider-Man animated TV series similar to last year’s sets.

76014 – Spider-Man riding some sort of “tricycle” and another minifigure with a green torso, yellow hands, and yellow legs. I’m going to guess that the other minifig is Electro. – ~$17

76015 – Includes Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, another minifigure, and a car. Hopefully we get a Doc Ock variant and not the same one as in the Doc Ock Ambush (6873). – ~$24

76016 – Includes a flying vehicle with two rotors, Spider-Man, and a brick-build figure. The vehicle could be the Spider Copter and the brick-built figure could be … Continue

LEGO Star Wars 2014 General Grievous Minifigure Found?

October 8, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A seller over on BrickLink has posted images of what appears to be the 2014 version of the LEGO Star Wars General Grievous minifigure. The seller is from the Czech Republic where a few leaks have originated from already including Batgirl and The Joker. If you gotten a chance to see the leaked images of the 2014 Star Wars sets, the minifigure from the seller does look very similar to the one in the pictures. General Grievous is listed in the General Grievous’ Wheel Bike (75040). As you can see, he is now white instead of tan and his eyes are a little bit different from previous versions.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I in 2014?

October 7, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Rumors have starting swirling about a new LEGO Star Wars UCS set that may be coming out in 2014. Over on Eurobricks, members mentioned that the newest Ultimate Collector’s Series set could be the Slave I. If Slave I was to come out in 2014, my guess is that it could be during LEGO’s “May the 4th Be With You” promotions since the company has released various UCS sets around that time including the R2-D2 (10225) in 2012 and the Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240) from this year.

LEGO has released quite a few versions of the Slave I including some oddball sets such as the MINI version during Star Wars Celebration VI. There have been many memorable Star Wars vehicles that have become UCS sets but one of the most iconic ships hasn’t been featured yet. Maybe 2014 will be the time for the Slave I to make it’s mark as an Ultimate Collector’s Series set.

Upcoming Toys R Us LEGO Bricktober Events

October 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Toys R Us stores is having some Bricktober 2013 events at local stores later this month. On Saturday, October 19 from 12-2pm, visit your local TRU store and you can build your own DC Super Heroes Joker Mini Mech Bot and take it home. If you look closely, you can see there is a purple plate that’s sticking out so I’m assuming a Joker minifigure is supposed to stand there. We’re not sure if you’ll be getting one or if you have to use your own. To be honest, the Mini Mech Bot looks horrible but at least you can get free bricks.

Secondly, if you purchase any LEGO Batman Super Heroes sets of $20 or more, you can get a FREE Robin’s Redbird Cycle (30166) polybag. This is the first time that US residents will be able to get it since it was only offered in Canadian Toys R Us stores.

For the Marvel side of the promotion, you can get a FREE Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone (30167) polybag with purchases of $20 or more in LEG Marvel Super Heroes sets. This polybag was first available through LEGO stores and on Shop@Home.

US $159.99 – CA $189.99 – DE 149.99 € – UK 132.99 £ – DK 1299.00 DKK

It’s very busy in the Parisian Restaurant. As a scooter zips by, inside the waiter rushes between the tables as the nervous young man gets ready to propose with the ring! It’s just as hectic behind the scenes, with the chef busily preparing the food. This beautifully detailed building is the setting for so many stories and is a great addition to the modular building series. The Parisian Restaurant has a fully-stocked, blue and white tiled kitchen with tableware as well as a cozy apartment with pull-down bed, kitchenette and fireplace. On the top floor is the artist’s room with a studio that includes a cast iron heater, easel, paintbrush and two works of art by the aspiring artist. Outside, stairs lead down to the roof terrace lined with hanging lanterns and flowers where the diners eat alfresco-style. This amazing Parisian Restaurant model even includes a facade with croissants, clams and feather details that recapture
