Marvel’s Eternals Teaser Trailer Gives Glimpse of LEGO Tie-In Sets

May 24, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This morning, Marvel dropped the official teaser trailer for the Eternals movie and we get a first look at what the LEGO sets could be referencing. The Eternals isn’t your typical MCU movie as it focuses on an immortal alien race created by the Celetials who have secretly lived on Earth for over 7,000 years. The beginning of the trailer shows the triangular ship from the Rise of the Domo (76156) but that’s as much that was shown for the LEGO tie-in sets.

There are at least four sets that will be for the movie and we’ve already got details for them thanks to the January 2021 catalog. There’s still no word on when they will be available but it’ll be before or around the time the movie releases in theaters on November 5.

Deviant Ambush! (76154) – 197 pieces/$24.99
In Arishem’s Shadow (76155) – 493 pieces/$59.99
Rise of the Domo (76156) – 1,040 pieces/$89.99
Eternals’ Aerial Assault (76145) – 133 pieces/$9.99

One Week Left to Pre-Order The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks

May 24, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There is exactly one week left to put your pre-order in for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks written by Daniel Konstanski. In his latest update for the book, he detailed how LEGO was able to provide him with exclusive images to use for the book as well as LEGO going a step further to provide items to photograph for better image quality. It looks like LEGO is fully committed to put out a good book dedicated to AFOLs.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it might be more in the case of LEGO® sets. Indeed, as several senior members of the LEGO Group’s in-house advertising agency told me, they spend more hours than you can imagine putting together the key images which appear on set boxes. But that is all I can say about that for now so as to not spoil a really great story from The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks. For our effort, I and the team who are helping make this book a reality realised that being able to show many of the parts and sets I discuss was a necessity. To that end, the LEGO Group gave us permission to not only scour their digital archive but also to request images for use in the book. As I have been writing I concurrently scour the appropriate timeframe or category in the digital archive for pictures to enhance the text. However, it didn’t stop there. In a show of just how committed the LEGO Group is to

LEGO Marvel 2021 Advent Calendar (76196) Rumored Characters

May 22, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

One new thing for 2021 is that LEGO will be doing a Marvel Advent Calendar (76196) which will be the first time for it. There are some rumored details coming from Instagram talking about some of the characters that we could be seeing in it. If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest skipping this post.

For the 2021 LEGO Marvel Advent Calendar, we’ll be seeing existing Marvel minifigures but with slight differences with them. It is reported that they are Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Thanos, Black Widow, Nick Fury, and Thor.

Spider-Man will be in this yellow jacket which is from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Iron Man will be in a Christmas sweater and will have the 2020 helmet and a separate hairpiece. Captain Marvel will be the version from the Avengers Helicarrier (76153) but without the helmet. Thanos will be the one from the Thanos Mech (76141) but he will be without leg printing or a helmet. Black Widow will be the one from the Avengers Tower Battle (76166). Nick Fury is said to also be the one from the Helicarrier set but he will have a beanie similar to his look from Avengers: Age of Ultron. Thor will also be the version from the Helicarrier but will the Infinity War hairpiece.

Note that quite a few of these minifigures are from more expensive sets so this will be a cheaper way to get them unless you just buy them separately on the secondary market. Along with the minifigures, we’ll also get a … Continue

There are some rumored details of the LEGO Star Wars 2021 Advent Calendar (75307) and what characters we can expect to see in it. If you don’t want to be spoiled by what could be in the set, I would skip this post. Word has it from Promobricks is that it will be based mostly on The Mandalorian and six characters will be Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper, and Tusken Raider, IG-11, Din Djarin (Mandalorian), and Grogu (The Child) with the last two having festive attire.

In addition, some of the builds in the 335 piece set will have microscale builds of The Razor Crest, Cobb Vanth’s speeder bike, TIE Fighter X-Wing, blue Landspeeder, Tusken ballista, E-Web blaster, Imperial Troop Transport, Moff Gideon’s Light Cruiser, and a weapons rack.

LEGO Botanical Collection Bonsai Tree (10281) Amazon Sale – May 2021

May 21, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I know I’ve recently posted about this recently in stock but the LEGO Botanical Collection Bonsai Tree (10281) is now also discounted on Amazon. It is now priced at $40 which is 20% off and a great deal for a bunch of pink frog pieces. I’m kidding but saving $10 on a still newer set is still winning. The only downside is that it won’t ship until June 15.
