LEGO Ninjago 2014 Set Names Leaked?

May 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in December of last year, we reported that Ninjago will be coming back in 2014 after a year off when the tv series ended. Kockamania is reporting that Ninjago may be coming back sooner than expected, as soon as December of this year. They also list a number of sets that will be released in that wave in Hungarian language. The sets listed are not the final names but are just translated into English. From the preview image above, you can see that Zane is more robotic looking so there’s rumors that the next wave of sets will be more mechanical and more robotic looking. If this information is true, what do you think of these sets just from their names?

LEGO 70720 – Air Breaks (Hover Hunter)
LEGO 70721 – Kai fighter (Fighter Kai)
LEGO 70722 – OverBorg attack (OverBorg Attack)
LEGO 70723 – Thunder offensive (Thunder Raider)
LEGO 70724 – NinjaCopter (NinjaCopter)
LEGO 70725 – Nindroid mechanical dragon (Nindroid MechDragon)
LEGO 70726 – Destroyers (Destructoid)

May 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Joystiq is reporting that the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game coming out this October will now include Venom and the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four. Phil Ring, TT Games Producer, made the announcement of the additional characters at MCM Comic Con over in the UK. TT Games employees also confirmed the additions by their tweets. Remember that Walmart will be having the Iron Patriot minifigure on the Gun Mounting System (30168) as the pre-order bonus for purchasing the console versions of the game.

In case you missed it at the #MCMExpo today, Phil Ring announced that THE HUMAN TORCH and VENOM (^o^) will be in #LEGO #Marvel Super Heroes!

Bricktrader Relaunch on June 1

May 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve recently been on Bricktrader, you’ll notice it’s been down. The reason is because Richard, aka TyoSolo, has been working hard for the relaunch of the new Bricktrader. Starting June 1st, the site will now become “The Unofficial LEGO Auction Site”. The purpose is to be the only LEGO specific auction site on the internet. We all know about Bricklink where you can buy out parts at a certain price. What if you can have an auction for those parts and possibly get them cheaper than other sites? This is one of the goals of Bricktrader. Most of the listings will only have a 5% fee with no listing fees for standard listings. When the site is relaunched, they will also have a Welcome Week promotion in which you only pay 1p (GBP) regardless of the final value fee (restrictions apply). Check out more details in the press release below:

For Immediate Release: 25th May 2013

Bricktrader Re-launch, 1st June 2013

We are pleased to announce the re-launch of Bricktrader.net, under the new heading of “The Unofficial LEGO® Auction Site” on Saturday 1st June 2013. Bricktrader (beta) is the latest LEGO® marketplace, and is the only LEGO® specific auction site on the internet.

Bricktrader aims to provide fans of LEGO® young and old alike a place to trade their LEGO® without attracting extortionate fees or having to navigate their way around a clunky interface. Designed to be easy to use for anyone familiar with popular auction sites, you can list your items for sale

LEGO and Sony Considering Creating Next Generation Toys

May 24, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Researchers of Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo and LEGO are joining forces to think of ways they can create next generation toys for kids in the future. In the demonstration, the researchers have attached motors and cameras to LEGO bricks and are controlling the pieces with a Playstation controller. The companies are trying to make the LEGO bricks play like video games. The objective is to keep the pieces small so kids may use them along with some other toys and games.

The reason why LEGO decided to forge this partnership is because LEGO is extremely worried that more and more kids are migrating to video games at a younger age while they should be playing with more tangible toys.

As it currently stands, the LEGO/Sony project is still in it’s infant stage and there are no plans for any products to be released in the near future.
