A week ago, we reported that the LEGO Legends of Chima Leonidas’ Jungle Dragster Polybag (30253) was available at Toys R Us. Today, we went there and saw they were for sale on a display rack and we decided to pick up a couple. The set contains 30 pieces and retails for $4.99, a pretty high $0.17/piece.
Our friends over at YourCreativeFriends has reviewed the latest set in LEGO Legends of Chima line, Crawley’s Claw Ripper (70001).

The AT-RT was first used in the Clone Wars in the Star Wars universe. LEGO released the AT-RT (75002) in the first wave of the Star Wars 2013 sets. The AT-RT is the actually the 3rd version of the walker following the 2005 set (7250) and the 2009 polybag (30006). The set contains 222 pieces and retails for $19.99, a $0.09/piece which is outstanding especially for a licensed Star Wars set. The box has one instruction booklet and three numbered bags.
On March 28, 2012, Peter Reid posted his Exo Suit project on LEGO CUUSOO. Today, the project has achieved enough votes to be considered by the LEGO Jury to become an official LEGO set. The Exo Suit is Peter’s most popular MOC and has been featured on page 251 in The LEGO Book. It may have taken a while to get the supporters but it was well worth the wait. Now the project is now eligible to go to the Spring Review stage on March 4th. Congratulations to Peter for this amazing accomplishment!
The Andy/Bugdroid the Android by Google project by GLHTurbo now becomes the highest supported project on LEGO CUUSOO. Read the official LEGO statement below:

Again, beautiful model and well-deserved success! It’s great to see a model that carries the essence of classic LEGO Space forward to the “present day” of building qualify for review.
Congratulations on achieving 10,000 supporters. We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.
What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Review Board” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.
LEGO, Marvel, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and TT Games have announced their latest addition to the video games line, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. The game will be available Fall 2013 for various systems including Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and Windows PC. The game will be looking to joining many successful LEGO games including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, as well as Batman and Batman 2.
The storyline will center around Nick Fury calling many Marvel Super Heroes including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and with more than 100 Marvel characters to unlock, to save the Earth from the forces of Loki and Galactus. There are 8 scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises and hints of scenes from the new Iron Man 3 film as well. I also wonder if LEGO will be throwing in an exclusive pre-order minifigure like with some of the other LEGO video games. If so, who could it be?
When images of the LEGO Legends of Chima line came out, I had my eye on the Razcal’s Glider (70000). It turns out that the set is the smallest of the boxed sets in the theme. The set contains 109 pieces and retails for $11.99, a $0.11/piece ratio. The box has two instruction booklets and the set has the Razcal minifigure. YourCreativeFriends has done a video review of the set. Check it out below for more details of the Razcal’s Glider.
