The M&M’s Chocolate Candy Dispenser by EDxAS is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the M&M’s brand and it contains cylinders to dispense the candy in certain colors.
The project now joins a number of other projects in the Second 2018 Review Stage including the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, International Space Station, SpaceX – The Ultimate Collection, and Steamboat Willie.
The highly anticipated LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) is now available on LEGO Shop@Home for VIP members. From now until July 31, it will exclusively available for VIPs and the set will retail for $179.99. San Diego Comic Con were able to purchase it a bit early as last Wednesday and those particular boxes were signed by LEGO designers Samuel Johnson and Niek van Slagmaat. My review of the set has been live for about a week now if you want to check it out.
The Warner Bros. SDCC 2018 panel was yesterday and there were some new details for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. It was announced that the Jurassic World Velociraptors will be making an appearance in the movie. In addition, Chris Pratt stated in the panel yesterday that he will also be voicing another character in TLM2, which will be based on his Jurassic World character Owen Grady, named Rex Dangervest.
There was another new character that was briefly shown off during the panel named Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi who is voiced by Tiffany Haddish who is somewhat like a giant three-eyed, tentacled creature. Finally, I’ve already talked about Jason Momoa voicing Aquaman which you can check out here. There’s no footage of the short panel so hopefully we’ll get to see it in the next few weeks after SDCC is finished.
Just ahead of the LEGO Ninjago panel at San Diego Comic Con tomorrow, co-creator Tommy Andreasen has confirmed that LEGO Ninjago “Hunted” will be airing on August 11 over on Cartoon Network. Hardcore fans of the show have been wondering when Season 9 will begin and we now have the answer. I expect to hear more details about the next season in the panel tomorrow and for those who have been asking if I will be attending it, I will be live tweeting the panel with details I can divulge. Of course, there will be no clips or images of any videos they show.
Today was the Warner Bros. Hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con 2018 and there were some epic trailers that were shown off including a new clip that was shown for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. The clip confirms that Jason Momoa has been revealed to be voicing Aquaman in the upcoming animated film.
Fans in attendance got to see a short part of the film in which Aquaman is in his traditional outfit appearing alongside Batman, voiced by Will Arnett. Batman sort of brushes off Aquaman and subsequently, Aquaman uses Batman as a surfboard and even uses the voiceline, “My Man” just like in Justice League.
Speaking of Aquaman, there is a life-sized statue of Aquaman made from 30,450 bricks and took 190 hours to design and build.
If you’re wanting to get the exclusive San Diego Comic Con 2018 LEGO set but aren’t at the convention, the next best thing is to build your own and thanks to Promobricks, you can now do that as they have somehow able to acquire the building instructions for the sets. The only thing that you won’t have are the exclusive vertical-style boxes and you’ll have to find a way to get the minifigures.
If you were at San Diego Comic Con 2018 late this afternoon, LEGO was handing out some surprise exclusive LEGO super hero posters. You were given a choice of either the LEGO Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years which is a recreation of the famous poster or a LEGO DC Super Heroes Superman 80th Anniversary poster which shows Superman in a minifigure form recreating some famous scenes from Superman’s history.
I kindly asked the people manning the table if I could get both posters and they allowed it but most people walked away with either or. I’m not sure if the LEGO booth will have more of these two posters the rest of the con or if there will be other posters to collect as well but I’ll be checking in periodically. Which one of these posters do you like the best?
