LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Spider-Man: Homecoming cruised their way to a $117 million opening weekend and had a steady second week in theaters. There are a couple of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets that accompany the movie as LEGO has been doing traditionally for a while now and the first set I’ll be reviewing is the ATM Heist Battle (76082). It contains 185 pieces and retail for a modest $19.99.

LEGO set 1355 Temple of Gloom was part of the Studios line in 2000. The particular set featured Johnny Thunder from Adventurers, or at least an actor who plays him. Solidifying the theory that Johnny Thunder is just an unlicensed Indiana Jones, this set begs to ask; were the adventures of the Adventurers actually real or were they all film plots?

Disney just wrapped up their video game showcase at D23 and TT Games was on hand to show off more of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2. There was also a character reveal today and it, not surprisingly, it was the Homemade Suit from Spider-Man: Homecoming. As you can see, he has on the red hoodie with blue pants.
Today’s announcement was too spectacular as I already expected this version of Spider-Man to be in the game. I expect there will be a lot more character reveals next week at San Diego Comic Con so stay tuned for that.
Disney’s D23 Expo is going on in Anaheim right now and it was just announced at the Marvel Animation panel that there will be a 22 minute special called LEGO Marvel Super Heroes – Guardians of the Galaxy: The Thanos Threat. There’s no other details but there is a synopsis from CBR.com below. It doesn’t seem like the special will follow the MCU GotG storyline and will most likely have the same LEGO humor as other LEGO animated shows. There’s no word yet on when or where it will be shown.
When Thanos, Ronan, Nebula and the Ravagers seek to possess the Build Stone — a powerful and creative relic — the fate of the universe depends on the Guardians of the Galaxy to protect it.

Every year at San Diego Comic Con, there are exclusive collectible bags that Warner Bros. provides to attendees. The bags feature a property of WB and one of the more notable bags for this year is for The Big Bang Theory. As you can see above, the bag has an image of the box art for the LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory (21302) set from a few years ago. It’s not as flashy as some of the other SDCC 2017 WB bags but I’ll be trying my best to get this particular one.
San Diego Comic 2017 is less than a week away and LEGO will have a fairly big presense there as usual. What I did not know about is that The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game be will be available for fans to try out.
I’ve been invited by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to do an interview with the developers from TT Games at SDCC. Here’s where you guys can take part as well. Let me know in the comments below what you would like to know about The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game. I’ll pick out a couple of questions to ask the devs and will also have some gameplay footage as well.
