In the final set of the initial LEGO The Hobbit line, we review The Goblin King Battle (79010). The set contains 841 pieces and retails for $99.99, about $0.12/piece. There are three instruction booklets, five numbered bags, and a packaged Goblin King.
Continuing with our updates of the LEGO minisites today, the LEGO Legends of Chima minisite also has a small update. There is a new image update of Laval, Prince of the Lion tribe, riding in the vehicle from the Ultimate Tournament (70115) set. There is also a video at the bottom of the page introducing Laval. The sets for the Legends of Chima are expected to be released in a few short weeks.
LEGO has been releasing minisites left and right the past couple of days including The Lone Ranger and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The new Galaxy Squad is also another theme that gets their own minisite. Unlike the others, this minisite has some interactivity including an animation with the Vermin Vaporizer and a Whack-A-Mole type of game called Cocoon Crusher 9000. The object of the game is to free the Galaxy Squad from cocoons by shooting at them. The game gets progressively faster as the levels get higher but it starts to get repetitive at round 7. You get 3 lives and if you don’t free the Squad in time, the game is over. There are also some unreleased content on the minisite which includes another web game called Bug Battle and another tab to link to the Apple iOS version of the same game. Check it out new Galaxy Squad minisite and have some fun with the game.
