The LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary has been recently released and Penguin Random House was kind enough to send over a review copy of the book.

The new Captain Marvel trailer dropped this morning and the internet went into a frenzy of what was shown. Set in the mid 1990s, the story follows Carol Danvers who becomes Captain Marvel after joining a Kree military team called Starforce. She finds her way back home as a shapeshifting species called Skrulls start to invade Earth.
As for any LEGO Captain Marvel sets that could be coming, I have a guess that we may get one or two sets based on the movie similar to what LEGO did with Black Panther and Ant-Man. As for what I want to see in a set, of course, I want an updated Captain Marvel minifigure, perhaps in her Starforce outfit with the mask and mohawk. Also a couple of Skrull minifigures would be nice as we don’t have official ones of them yet.
Are you guys excited for Captain Marvel and what she would be bringing to the aftermath of Avengers: Infinity War? Captain Marvel will be in theaters March 8, 2019.
A few days ago, an image of a new Target exclusive LEGO set called Bean There, Donut That (40358) showed up online and various Target locations have started to get stock of them. It has 146 pieces and retails for $19.99 but I’m also hearing that this particular set could be a promotional item at the end of the month since Target has not been bringing them out to the sales floor.
A few days ago, I reported on the new Disguise LEGO costumes for adults which include various colored 2×4 bricks as well as other characters that were available from Target. If you’re looking for a better deal for them, Amazon has you covered. There’s a third-party store called BuyCostumes that is selling the same costumes at a cheaper price than on Target and also includes free Prime shipping. The prices are as of this writing and note there are only certain sizes available.
Today is Batman Day and to celebrate, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part social media networks have released a new image of Wasteland Batman.

All of the characters looks in the movie, except for Emmet, have changed to a Mad Max style look due to the aftermath of Taco Tuesday. This new look for Batman shows him with some tire shoulder pads and a torn cape. The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part releases in theaters on February 8, 2019.
