November 18, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been 8 years since the last Spider-Man set was released from LEGO for the Spider-Man 2 movie but in 2012, the wait is over. On July 23, the Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) set was introduced. The set retails for $29.99 and consists of 295 pieces which is about $0.10/piece. There are three number bags, one instruction booklet, as well as comic book #5 in the Marvel Super Heroes series. The set is loosely based on the “Me Time” episode on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. One major difference between the set and the show is that Spider-Man was the one who was captured, not Iron Fist.

LEGO Pop-up Todai-ji and Daibutsu Model

November 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple years ago, a Japanese builder who goes by Talapz, created a LEGO Pop-up Kinkaku-ji, a Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and posted it on YouTube, which has gained over a million views. He is back and has created another pop-up model, the Todai-ji including the Daibutsu (Eastern Great Temple with The Great Buddha). This model took Talapz 9 months to create and used around 8800 pieces. When folded together, it is approximately 96mm thick and about 48mm opened. If you want to create your own, he has also provided instructions at the end on how to make your own popup model.

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pong Krell and Trooper Minifigures

November 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Rebelscum, a user by the name of rgeezzy has gotten their hands on what could the Pong Krell minifigure from the LEGO Star Wars Z-95 Headhunter (75004) set or it could be just a custom minifigure to trick people. We cannot verify that it’s the real thing since we can’t see clearly of the boxart of the set to compare them. Judge for yourself. The user has also posted an image of some of the new Clone Troopers as well as a Sith Trooper.

Update: There’s also another image of Pong Krell that has popped up on Eurobricks posted by CM4S.

Update 2: David, aka legoboy12345678, has gotten in contact with an associate and will be getting one by the end of week and will be showcasing it on his YouTube channel.

Update 3: lego*dudes is now selling the Pong Krell minifigure on their eBay store and lists more than 10 are available. Still not sure how the seller is getting them.
