After an image showed up yesterday of the Evil Mech, Female Scientist, Yeti, Lady Robot, and Welder from the Series 11 LEGO Collectible Minifigures, there’s now an image of the Gingerbread Man which came from the girls’ UK LEGO Club Magazine. Looks like we’ll be seeing more and more images of the Series 11 minifigures as we get closer to the release in September.

GameTrailers has got exclusive demo gameplay footage of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes during E3 2013. In the video, Arthur Parsons, Game Director at TT Games, shows us parts of the Asgard stage as well as the character change screen. From what I can see, there are 21 different characters out of over 100 that are playable including Iron Man Mark I, Deadpool, Magneto, and Venom. The Human Torch can even do his “Flame On” move if you like. Each of the playable characters will be able to do their own abilities so you can get the whole Marvel experience out of the game.
It was also announced that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes will available for the PlayStation 4 as well as the Xbox One when the new systems come out. More characters will be announced by TT Games bit by bit as the game gets closer to the release so there will be surprises awaiting you when you play the game. As I see more and more footage of the game, I just can’t wait until October rolls by so I play it.
Last month, LEGO unveiled the life-size X-wing Starfighter in New York. The starfighter has traveled safely from New York and now resides at LEGOLAND California. In the video below, LEGO Master Model Builder, Gary McIntyre, shows the viewer around the ship and tells the back story of how it got from the East Coast all the way to California. Right now, it is safely stored away in a hanger area at the resort and will be open for the public to view on June 13th until the end of the year. To give some details on the ship, it contains 5,335,200 bricks and weighs 45,979.61 pounds. It stands at 11 feet tall and is 43 feet in length with a wingspan of 44 feet. 32 builders at the LEGO Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic spent 17,336 hours to construct the starfighter. It is made to look like set 9493 from a few years ago. The giant version of the ship is 42 times the size of the real LEGO set.

“Working with the folks at The LEGO Group to do these homage covers is an absolute blast! As soon as we came up with the concept of doing the covers, I couldn’t wait to get an idea off the ground that really does justice to both the Marvel heroes and the LEGO brand,” explained David Gabriel, SVP of Sales, Print & Digital. “This program is the best blend of both worlds and we know it will really excite our fans and hope that Lego fans also find their way into comic shops to pick these up!”
Back in April, we posted a some screenshots of LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey on the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. At the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo, TT Games and PlayStation has released the official trailer for the game. You will be controlling Laval in the storyline to defeat Cragger and restore the balance of CHI in the world of Chima. As you play through the game, you can also unlock characters with their own unique abilities.
Brickshelf user, ajdken2010, has posted an image of what could be some of the minifigures from Series 11 of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures series. The image shows the Evil Mech, Female Scientist, Yeti, Lady Robot, and Welder. We first found out the names of the Series 11 minifigures late last year and the image above confirms what was on the list.
**Update** the user has taken down original image. The image above is from Brick Fanatics.
FBTB has posted an image of the exclusive minifigure that will be available away this weekend at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California. The Clone Trooper Lieutenant will be given out to volunteers from SanDLUG and LUGOLA that help out on Saturday and Sunday. Ace has also mentioned that you might be able to get one from the Big Shop if you spend a certain amount there. Children might also be able to get the Trooper from the 501st Droid Hunt game that will be going on during the weekend.
I might be going to LEGOLAND this weekend to experience Star Wars Days once again but will not be able to volunteer with the local LUGs which saddens me. The life-sized X-wing Starfighter that was revealed at New York a couple of weeks ago will also be displayed there which I’m excited to see.
