LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes 2018 Set Sales on Amazon

January 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Almost everyday so far this week, there are sales over on Amazon on some 2018 LEGO sets. For today, I’ve found that there are some of the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that are 20% off the regular price. The Superman & Krypto Team-up (76096) is at $15.99 and it comes with some new minifigures including Lobo and Krypto.

The other 2018 LEGO DC set that is on sale is the Speed Force Freeze Pursuit (76098). All of the minifigures in this set are exclusive including the Flash, Reverse Flash, Cyborg, and Killer Frost. At this price, the set is more attractive as it also has a pretty sleek helicopter build to go with it.

There is currently no sale yet on the Lex Luthor Mech Takedown (76097) as it is still at the regular price of $39.99.

Continuing with some of the sales that Amazon has on some 2018 LEGO sets, it looks like they now have a sale on a couple of the new The LEGO Batman Movie sets. The sets that I am referring to are The Bat-Dune Buggy (70918) and the Egghead Mech Food Fight (70920). Both sets now have the 20% off sale with Prime shipping which makes the Buggy come in at $15.99 while the Egghead Mech is at $23.99. The Justice League Anniversary Party (70919) is also on sale but you only get $2.05 off which isn’t a good sale yet.

LEGO at the 2018 New York Toy Fair

January 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The New York Toy Fair is happening next month and there’s some details about the LEGO booth that you should need to know before you get your hopes up about seeing the summer 2018 LEGO sets. Various media outlets have receieved their emails for the LEGO “Save the Date” preview party, including one of my contacts, and according to the email, LEGO will not be displaying any of the summer 2018 product lineup. This means there will be nothing for the 2018 second half sets (after June releases) which is a disappointment because it is something that fans really look forward to at this time of the year.

However, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be anything on display at the LEGO booth. We can probably look forward to the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets and the LEGO Star Wars Solo sets because they’ll be out before June. Other than that, there isn’t really anything else of importance since we’ve pretty much seen everything already that is set to be released in March-May besides LEGO Speed Champions. I don’t see them listed on the February 2018 Store Calendar so they’re probably spring releases.

This little detail about the 2018 New York Toy Fair comes to light a few days after it was revealed that LEGO won’t be at the London Toy Fair and will be somewhat restricted at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. I’m not sure why LEGO decided to change up the things at this year’s toy fairs but it’s a little saddening … Continue

January 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The Embraer A-29 Super Tucano (Smoke Squadron) by Alex Paschoaletto is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project wasn’t really on the top supported projects list until the beginning of the year when some high profile social media accounts picked it up including the Brazilian Air Force and Aviões e Músicas. As for the project itself, the build is the Brazilian Air Force’s Embraer A-29 Super Tucano and it has some features including a retractable landing gear, moveable rudder and flaps, as well as a removable canopy. The overall build consists of about 400 pieces and is 1:39 scale. It is the first project to reach the First 2018 Review Stage.

January 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

A few days ago, I reported on some LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack sales on Amazon but it left off one of the newer 2018 ones from the sale. It looks like that has been remedied as the First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) is now also on sale for $11.99 each. This set includes a First Order Gunner, First Order Shuttle Pilot, and 2 First Order Stormtroopers to grow your army. The Stormtroopers are the exclusive minifigures in this set.

As with some of the recent LEGO Ideas sets that have been recently released, LEGO likes to hold signing events with the sets’ respective designer. LEGO has announced there will be an event that will be held for the upcoming Ship in a Bottle (21313) which will be held at the Fashion Place LEGO Brand Store at Murray, Utah on Saturday, January 27 at 10am-1pm MST. There, you’ll be able to meet Jacob Sadovich, who came up with the design on LEGO Ideas, as well as have your set signed by him as well. Plus, you’ll be getting the set a little early as it is scheduled to be released on February 1.

LEGO Black VIP Card Shipping Clarification

January 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

If you’ve purchased the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) before December 31, 2017, you will be eventually getting the black VIP card if you’ve haven’t already. I’ve gotten an update for a reader who emailed in about their experience with LEGO Customer Service about his situation.

It appears there was a glitch in their system with VIPs who have opted out or never consented to physical mailings and their cards weren’t created with the original batch that went out last year. LEGO has since created a new list for those particular VIPs and their cards will be sent out soon.

Also, the rep also stated that any upcoming special promotions that goes with the black VIP card are attached to the VIP account and you don’t actually need to have the physical card on hand. This info is very helpful because I’ve had a lot of questions come in about it.

Hopefully this answers the main questions that have been asked by those who have purchased the UCS Falcon and haven’t gotten their cards yet. Again this only applies to those who got it before last year’s deadline and people who ordered the Falcon after the new year restock will not be getting the card. Thanks to David for emailing in about it.
