LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
In our first 2013 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set, we have the Spider-Man: Daily Bugle Showdown (76005) set to review. It has 476 pieces and retails for $49.99, a $0.11/piece ratio. The box contains three instruction booklets, one comic, five numbered bags, a 8×16 grey baseplate, and Spider-Man’s web piece.
Continuing with the reviews of the new LEGO Legends of Chima line, YourCreativeFriends is back with another review and this time, it’s Lennox’ Lion Attack (70002). The set contains 230 pieces and it retails for $24.99, which is $0.11/piece. There are two instruction booklets and two minifigure as well: Lennox and Crug. Check out the video below for more details of the set and the score they gave.
I recently received my copy of the LEGO January 2013 Catalog and immediately noticed that it’s main focus was on the new Legends of Chima theme. On the cover, it shows Laval and Cragger competing in the Ultimate Speedor Tournament (70115) set. On the inside flap, it shows Laval as well a blurb of the a one-hour series preview on the Cartoon Network that is set to premiere on Wednesday, January 16th at 7:30/6:30c.
In the middle of the catalog, you’ll also find a poster of the same Laval image on the flap of the catalog. on the back of the poster, it displays all the minifigures in the Chima line. It looks like LEGO is really pushing the theme and hoping it will be as successful as Ninjago. Are you excited for the premiere of the Legends of Chima TV series?
In the latest update on the Legends of Chima minisite, we can see Laval holding a CHI orb while Cragger is trying to grab it. We can also see who appears to be Eris flying up above. Below the image is a new video introducing Worriz, leader of the Wolf Tribe.
The premiere date of the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles has been announced on the official LEGO Star Wars blog and it will be exactly one week from today, January 5th. There was a TV commercial on the Cartoon Network that was shown yesterday night but I’ve checked the TV listings for January 5th and didn’t see the show on the schedule. Although it didn’t show up on the schedule, that doesn’t mean it can’t change as we get closer to the premiere date.
Update: The premiere date of January 5 announced by LEGO was incorrect and will actually be Friday, January 11. LEGO has updated their blog with more details.
Unfortunately the date that was earlier posted on the blog regarding the launch of this year’s big story The Yoda Chronicles was not correct. It will launch on Friday January 11th.
However, we have more cool news to tell you now. Throughout the whole year, starting from January 11th you will have access to a new portal filled with weekly updates. This will truly be awesome for all of us!
