GRogall over on Eurobricks is back with another reveal for a future LEGO release. He has revealed that there will be a new Maersk ship (10241) and will retail for €129.00. Again, there is not that much detail so far but expect GRogall to be giving us this information in the near future. The last LEGO sets that included Maersk were the Conainer Ship (10155) and the Container Train (10219) which were both released in 2011. Maybe the Maersk ship will be one of the brand new Triple E cargo vessels that will make it’s maiden voyage on July 15th at Busan port, Korea. The Triple E will be the world’s largest ship afloat with capacity of 18,000 TEU.
Yesterday, Marvel revealed the box art for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game and they have said they will be slowly revealing more characters in the game as we get closer to the release date. This went unnoticed but a couple of days ago, Game Director at TT Games Arthur Parsons has let loose another character for all to see. It is none other than Victor Creed also known as Sabretooth. He also confirmed that the game will be available on the next generation consoles including the Xbox One and the Playstation 4.
If you’re going to San Diego Comic Con 2013, you will be able to have a hands-on experience of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes at the Marvel booth (#2329), the LEGO booth (#2829), and at the Xbox Gaming Lounge at the Hyatt all four days of the Con. At the Marvel video games panel on Saturday, there will most likely be more new characters being shown off.

Chad over at Your Creative Friends was on Beyond the Brick’s podcast to discuss different types of subjects from the YCF’s origins to Philly Brick Fest 2014 to the Guinness World Record attempt by a school district. There’s also a nice little secret that Chad has revealed for Philly Brick Fest somewhere in the video. Be sure to subscribe to their channels for more LEGO news and reviews.
GRogall over on Eurobricks has revealed the next LEGO Modular building will be a Parisian Restaurant. If you follow GRogall, you’ll know that his information is pretty spot on. Unfortunately, there are no images or any other information about it except that it will be released in 2014. GRogall mentions that he might be getting the set number as well as the pricing for it soon so stay tuned.
The long-awaited return of the LEGO Legends of Chima animated series makes it’s return to Cartoon Network tonight at 8/7c. It’s been a while since we’ve mentioned the TV show because there wasn’t anything to report on it until recently. A trailer of the return of Chima aired during the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles back in May and Cartoon Network will be “premiering” it again starting today and will now have weekly episodes. According to TV Guide’s schedule for tonight, my suspicions were confirmed that CN will be re-airing the first three episodes back-to-back-to-back and will have brand new episodes starting next week. So if you haven’t seen any of the Chima episodes yet or want to rewatch them, tonight’s the perfect opportunity.
The box art for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game has been revealed and I must say, it’s a pretty darn good looking cover. It shows a few of super heroes from the Marvel Universe including Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, the Hulk, Spider-man, Human Torch, Thor, Fantastic Four, the Thing, Black Widow. If you look closely at the upper right corner, you can also see the Silver Surfer which we haven’t heard much about yet. If you pre-order from Walmart, you’ll get the exclusive Iron Patriot minifigure (30168) for free as a bonus.
In other Marvel news, you will be able to play LEGO Marvel Super Heroes during San Diego Comic Con 2013. The games will be set up all four days at the Marvel booth (#2329), the LEGO booth (#2829), and at the Xbox Gaming Lounge at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. If that’s not enough LEGO Marvel for you, on Saturday at 12:30pm in Room 6A, there will be a panel discussing the game in more detail and Marvel is hinting there might be “something special” for you if you come to the panel dressed in a Marvel costume.
