LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Our friends over at Promobricks has found images of a new LEGO Brand Store (40305) set that will supposedly be part of a promotion at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. As of right now, it probably won’t come to the US in June because it doesn’t show the item on the June 2018 store calendar. I’ll update as soon as there is more information about it.
The promotion for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot Keychain (5005244) polybag has started for LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get for free with a purchase of $50 or more, while supplies last, and it will run until May 20. This keychain is the same one that Target sold for $5.99 each which you can probably find at a discount now. However if you’re doing some shopping on Shop@Home, this polybag is something to keep in mind if you’re a few dollars short of the limit.
Amazon has updated a listing of the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis original animated movie which will include an exclusive LEGO Jessica Cruz Green Lantern minifigure. The movie will come in both Blu-Ray and DVD formats which seems to both include the Jessica Cruz minifigure. Images of the minifigure have surfaced online a few months ago but it’s nice to see where we are able to get it. LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis will be released sometime this summer. Check out the trailer below.
LEGO & DC Comics are at it again: Aquaman has to defend his ocean realm against Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns with the help of the Justice League: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg & Green Lantern. There will also be some newbies to the DC animated world sprinkled in. LEGO DC Super Heroes – Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis is set to release later this summer.
Late last month, the official images of the LEGO Unikitty sets started appearing online along with the Collectible Figure blind bags which are slated to come out later this summer. There’s now also news of a polybag for the theme which has started to hit LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers as well as on eBay called the Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406).

It has 46 pieces and includes the most basic variant of Unikitty. What’s interesting here is that Unikitty uses a new reverse 1×3 plate for the neck that connects to a pin to give the head more stability unlike the original Unikitty from The LEGO Movie line. You can check out a review of the polybag from Just2Good below. There’s no word on a wider availability at this time as LEGOLAND usually sells polybags before other retailers but I’ll keep you updated.
The last set that I’ll be reviewing for the LEGO Juniors The Incredibles 2 line is The Great Home Escape (10761). This particular set comes with 178 pieces and retails for $29.99. The contents of the box include three numbered bags, some loose Quick Start molds, and the instructions.
The LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review Stage has now kicked off as the deadline to qualify for it has ended. There are a whopping ten projects that qualified for review which include:
–Embraer A-29 Super Tucano
–SR-71A The Final Flight
–Treehouse
–Stitch
–Modular Arcade
–I am Amelia Earhart
–Mystery Science Theater 3000
–Acclamator Class Assault Ship
–The Flintstones
–The Vintage Motorcycle of BMW R60/2
Which project(s) do you think will pass the review stage? Sound off in the comments below. In the meantime, the Third 2017 LEGO Review Stage is getting close to being wrapped up and the announcement should be coming sometime this summer. We’re also still waiting for the official reveal of the Voltron – Defender of the Universe set which was announced back in August. I have a feeling that it’ll be revealed at San Diego Comic Con as it is a great time to an unveiling.
It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison.
As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are six sets that have been released so far for this movie so let’s get started. Be warned, there are spoilers but that goes without saying.
The Outrider Dropship Attack depicts the scene in Wakanda with a few members of the Black Order and the Outriders. The minifigure selection of Captain America, Black Widow, and a couple of Outriders are definitely accurate as they all appear in this scene. Both Captain America and Black Widow are in their new outfits and I do like how Captain America has his beard. The Outriders themselves are decent using a new neck brace piece for … Continue
