Back during Black Friday last month, EclipseGRAFX released a limited edition Excelsior minifigure set which is basically a custom LEGO minifigure of Stan Lee to celebrate his life. Some of the items that were in the set include a custom tin, the Stan Lee minifigure, a card similar to the style of the 1990 Impel Marvel Universe cards, a custom sticker, and a custom 2×3 printed tile. If you pre-ordered last month, you also get a custom printed window pane.
In addition to the LEGO The Hobbit Video Game going up again for a short time earlier today, Humble Bundle also has the LEGO Lord of the Rings Video Game for free as well. The offer runs until December 22 at 10am PST.
… ContinueBased on The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy, LEGO® The Lord of the Rings follows the original story-lines of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, taking players through the epic story events re-imagined with the humor and endless variety of LEGO play.
Trusted with the dangerous task to destroy an ancient magical ring that threatens all that is good, Frodo is forced to leave his peaceful home. But the ring wants to be found and the road to Mount Doom, the only place where it can be destroyed, will be perilous and riddled with Orcs and fouler things. To help Frodo, a Fellowship is formed —Aragorn the Ranger, Gandalf the Wizard, Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Boromir a Man of Gondor, and Frodo’s Hobbit friends Sam, Merry and Pippin. Players relive the legend through the LEGO mini-figures, as they explore wonders, solve timeless riddles, and overcome endless foes in their quest to destroy the Ring.
Key Features:
-Explore all of the open-world of Middle-earth and experience epic battles with Orcs, Uruk-hai, the Balrog, the Witch-king, and other fearsome creatures.
-Wield the power of the Palantír or Seeing-stone
For those who missed the initial drop for the free copy of LEGO The Hobbit Video Game on Humble Bundle last week, you now have another chance to get it. For the next day or so, while supplies last, you can get the game for free when you subscribe to their newsletter. If you want the game, don’t hesitate or you’ll miss out again.
As I reported before, one of the new polybags that have showed up at Walmart for The LEGO Movie 2 is the Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528). The polybag consists of 42 pieces and retail for $3.97 and it can be found at the LEGO aisle.
The build is basically a smaller version of MetalBeard’s crab mech which the normal version is in the Battle-Ready Batman and MetalBeard (70836) set. In the middle of the mech is MetalBeard’s head with his and, of course, his metal beard piece right below. The back has a crow’s nest that is attached on a ball joint. Unlike the regular set, this one doesn’t have a treasure chest with his internal organs. Although he has some claws for legs, there’s also a single wheel at the bottom to help him move.
This polybag is a 3-in-1 set so it is able to change into a three-wheel vehicle as well as a ship but the instructions for those builds are not available at this time but I’ll do a follow-up when they are. Again, The LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBeard (30528) can be found at Walmart and if you need help to see if your store potentally has the polybags, head over to Brickseek and enter your zip code to check the inventory near you.
Warner Bros. is cranking up the promotion for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part and they have released a new “Space” trailer earlier today. The trailer features more scenes that we haven’t seen before in the previous two.
The LEGO Movie 2 hits theaters in a few months and other fan sites have already started reviewing some of the sets already. I’ll wait until the sets become available on December 26 to take a look at a few of them so keep an eye out for them soon.
When the images of the LEGO Overwatch sets were revealed, my most anticipated one was the D.Va & Reinhardt (75973). The set features one of my tank mains in D.Va and I love how her mech looks. The set has 455 pieces and retails for $39.99. The contents of the box include three numbered bags, a sticker sheet, and two instruction booklets.
The Playable LEGO Piano by SleepyCow is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,798 piece build features a concert grand piano and has actual working keys with attention to realistic features. It even allows Power Functions to enable a self playing mechanic.
The project now joins the Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection, Chemical Plant, Food Stand Diners, and Queen Victoria Cruise Ship as the projects to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.
