The Series 9 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71000) were officially released in January 2013. Like all the previous series, there are 16 minifigures in the set. They come in grey packaging and retails for $2.99 each. When the minfigures were shown in teaser images by LEGO last year, I was really excited for the Series 9 minifigures to be released.
With the final set of the Winter wave of LEGO Ninjago, YourCreativeFriends has reviewed Cole’s Earth Driller (70502). The set contains 171 pieces and retails for $19.99, a $0.12/piece ratio. The set has two minifigures: Cole wearing a kimono and a Stone Swordsman. The Earth Driller itself is pretty sleek looking. Take a look at YCF’s video below to see more details of the set and don’t forget to subscribe to see more of their videos.

eBay seller, lego*dudes, has been releasing some minifigures of unreleased LEGO sets last year and they’re back with another one. In this listing, they are selling a War Machine minifigure possibly from one of the Iron Man 3 sets that will be coming out later this year. The minifigure’s helmet looks similar to Iron Man’s from last year except that it’s grey. The torso and legs have some very nice printing. If this is the real War Machine minifigure, will you be excited to get the set(s) that he’ll be in?

Today, the LEGO Star Wars The Yoda Chronicles released their first episode on the Star Wars minisite. It begins by showing Yoda, Pong Krell, and Ahsoka Tano fighting off a Droid ambush. They are then saved by an AT-RT and the Z-95 Headhunter. At the end, it shows an Umbaran MHC arriving. Will it be a friend or a foe? The short video does not have any voicing as of yet but that might change in later episodes. So far it seems to be a promotion of the latest Star Wars sets more than anything. Let’s hope there’s more to The Yoda Chronicles than what we saw.

Brick Fanatics is reporting that The Sun newspaper will be having a LEGO giveaway, mostly likely some of the polybags that have been reported. Brick Fanatic’s member, Adwil24, tweeted the first image of the promotion from The Sun a few days ago. Over on the Sun’s promotions page, it states to “Smile in the face of winter blues with The Sun’s Big Smile Giveaway. Family fun and amazing offers to keep us all smiling through ’til spring.” This probably means that there will soon be giveaways throughout winter until March when spring ends. More updates will be available as news comes.
