LEGO Architecture Marina Bay Sands (21021) Revealed

October 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The next set in the LEGO Architecture series has been revealed on their online survey site, the Marina Bay Sands (21021). Back in August, we reported that the resort in Singapore won the annual LEGO “Vote & Inspire Us” poll and would be the next Architecture set that will be released. The world’s most expensive standalone casino property also features a hotel, a shopping mall, a museum, two theaters, an ice skating rink, and seven celebrity chef restaurants. The Marina Bay Sands will probably be available late this year or early next year.

LEGO Ninjago 2014 Lloyd Minifigure (70722)

It looks like the new LEGO Ninjago Lloyd minifigure has showed up on eBay. We first saw an image of him last week when images of the OverBorg Attack (70722) showed up online. As you can see, the new Lloyd minifigure is wearing a new design for his robes and is also wearing a green scarf. Instead of the ninja hoods, the 2014 Ninjago characters will have their own hairpieces. ~~If you want to purchase it, you have less than one hour to bid on it.~~

Project Swapfig Round 2 – Fight!

October 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in April, we did a post promoting Project Swapfig on Kickstarter. The project was started by Drew Maughan, aka SilentMode, to help bridge the gap for minifigure traders. The site allows people to trade away their unwanted LEGO minifigures for ones they want or need. Unfortunately, the Kickstarter project didn’t meet its goal.

Fast forward to today, Drew has decided to start another crowdfunding campaign for Project Swapfig but this time, it is on Zequs. Some differences from the original Kickstarter project is that the target is at £1500 instead of £3000 and has a longer duration. One thing that is similar is that there are certain rewards that you can get for pledging a certain amount. Head over to Zequs to see what Drew has to offer including a Gold SwapFigure.

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes/Star Wars 2014 Minifigures

September 30, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

~~Solid Brix Studios has posted an image of a couple of the new LEGO minifigures from DC Universe Super Heroes as well as Star Wars.~~ As you can see, he has acquired a new variant of the Joker most likely from The Joker Steam Roller (76013) set. He also has a V-Wing Starfighter Pilot from the V-Wing Starfighter (75039) set. We’re not sure how he has gotten a hold of them but you can be sure that more LEGO minifigures and set images will be popping up very soon.

Update: Doing some research, I’ve found that it was the same user on BrickLink who “leaked” the Batgirl minifigure.

Update: Looks like the “original” imaged posted by Solid Brix Studios has been taken down.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Vehicles

September 30, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

During TT Game’s Director Arthur Parson’s interview with IGN, he has given some details of the vehicles from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game.

X-Jet

The X-Men’s primary source of conventional travel, obtained by Professor X from S.H.I.E.L.D. the X-Jet is unrivalled, being able to cloak at the switch of a button, enabling it to sneak up on anyone. Definitely the vehicle to use when traversing distance and wanting to arrive unannounced!

Deadpool Scooter

The Merc with a mouth has a slick new motor-bike to get around town. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, this deceptive machine has more power than Luke Cage. Plus it makes an awesome ‘weeeeeeeee’ noise when it moves too!

Spider Copter

S.H.I.E.L.D. are not the only people with gadgets and gizmos. The Spider Copter was designed for Spider-Man by Nick Fury to enable the webbed wonder to get from A to B swiftly, and should he encounter problems en route, the agile copter has quick-fire flick rockets.

Pumpkin Chopper

Usually Green Goblin is seen blasting around New York on his glider, however for longer journeys he chooses the comfort and luxury afforded him by the Pumpkin Chopper. While comfortable though, the Pumpkin Chopper is extremely nimble and has powerful rapid fire missiles.

Magneto Mobile

When driving the Magneto Mobile, nobody will tell you what to do. A car well ahead of its time, inspired by the 1978 Menace of Magneto, this car needs no gas so it is environmentally friendly. The car can cruise the streets of New York without even
