LEGO Star Wars The Yoda Chronicles The Rancor Pit Episode 1

February 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Apparently, The Yoda Chronicles isn’t a continuing storyline but a series of short stories split into a few episodes. The Umbara story seemingly has finished up last week, and this week we start the Rancor Pit story.

In the beginning, you can see Luke’s X-wing in front of Jabba’s Palace. Inside, Luke is trying to rescue Han Solo, who is still in carbonite, from Jabba the Hutt. Jabba springs the trap and Luke as well as the Gamorrean guard fall into the Rancor pit. They hear a loud roar coming from the direction of the gate and see Malakili coming out with a drumstick. He lures the Rancor to Luke and the Gamorrean. Luke force builds a trap door to hide from the Rancor. The beast grabs the Gamorrean and is about it eat him. C-3P0 panics and accidentally knocks slave Princess Leia into the pit too but she is still hanging on the chain. The Rancor roars at her and the story will continue next week.

One thing I noticed is the design of the Slave Leia minifigure. As you can see below, she has an updated bikini that is colored green. Her skirt also seem to have a bit more detail as well. The hair piece also is different from the Leia in the 2006 version of Jabba’s Sail Barge (6210). You can see the previous version of Leia here. Could the Leia we saw in the video be the redesigned version in the new Jabba’s Sail Barge (75020)?

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man 2013 Hands On

January 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In the past couple of days, we, along with YourCreativeFriends, reported there were new images of what appears to be new Iron Man minifigures from the 2013 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. Now, YCF has gotten their hands on a couple of these minifigures and has done a early review of them.

For the Mark XLII suit, the helmet is the only only thing that’s the same as in the 2012 suits. The torso itself is mostly red but has gold printing for most of the front and about half in the back. The hands are also gold instead of red. The arc reactor is printed white. The front of the legs also has some of the gold printing. There is also some toe printing for the boots. What’s new about this version of Iron Man is his face printing. He has a confident expression on one side and a scared/worried expression on the other. Again, we believe the Mark XLII will be in the Malibu Mansion Attact (76006).

On the other suit, we still are not sure if it’s the Heartbreaker or another one. What we do know is that the helmet is new with some silver printing on the chin and blue eyes. The top of the helmet is also shaped a little different. The head is the same as in the 2012 versions. For the torso, the arc reactor is the same blue as the eyes and is strapped in with what looks to be a harness that wraps around the back … Continue

January 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, many LEGO fans were excited to hear that the LEGO Castle theme will be making it’s return in 2013. The German Toy Fair in Nuremberg has kicked off and Joe Meno of BrickJournal is there and has taken pictures of the new LEGO Castle sets for Brickset. Here you can see the box art of the King’s Castle (70404) set. There are also many minifigures displayed from the renewed Castle line. The Castle line is set to return August 2013. What are your first impressions of the set on the box and the closeups of the minifigures?

Update: Flickr user, Fedro Photo has taken a picture of the actual King’s Castle set as well as a side view of the Dragon Mountain (70403) set. In the background, you can see a glimpse of The Gatehouse Raid (70402).

New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man Minifigure Revealed

January 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple of days ago, we reported of a new Iron Man minifigure from the 2013 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. Eurobricks has posted another Iron Man minifig and this looks like the new MK XLII (42) suit. As you can see in the image below, the one on the right looks drastically different from the on the left which makes me think that the one we reported earlier could be the Heartbreaker suit. The Mark XLII suit has torso printing that looks very similar to the one we saw at Comic Con 2012. The only downside is that it does not have any arm printing. So what do you think of the MK XLII Iron Man minifigure?
