LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
For those who missed out on the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) a few weeks ago, you’re in luck because LEGO has brought it back on Shop@Home. The promotion is the same as before as you have to spend $60 or more and the offer will run until June 3.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a new teaser for the upcoming LEGO DC Villains Video Game. This confirms the rumor of the game and it shows a wall tagged presumably by the Joker that says “Chaos is Coming.” There is also a minisite that shows a countdown timer to the reveal of the game next week. Stay tuned for more details of the upcoming LEGO DC Villains video game.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous landmarks in the world and LEGO has released several iterations of the structure throughout the years and the latest one is the summer 2018 LEGO Architecture 21042 set. It has 1,685 pieces and retails for $119.99 and will be available starting on June 1.
The LEGO Mosaic Maker has been pretty popular in the UK, Europe, and more recently in Asia and now it will be making its way to the United States. If you’re not familiar with the Mosaic Maker, it’s basically a machine that captures an image of you and you’ll be able to get printed instructions and bricks for your LEGO portrait.
As usual with some of the bigger events, it will be held first at the flagship Flatiron District LEGO Brand Store in New York. They are holding a pre-booking event and you’ll need to claim your spot five weeks in advance. The cost for one of the sets is $129.99 per portrait and you’ll need to pre-pay the cashier before you get the LEGO Mosaic Maker Experience Card to use the machine.
Hopefully, the New York location opens it up more for other stores around the US to have their own machines as well.
Thanks to bcterps for the heads up.
The Licensing Expo 2018 is set to kick off and Activision Blizzard has announced that they have partnered up with LEGO to produce LEGO Overwatch sets with multiple sets and various price points. I wonder if it’ll be builds of the heroes or the stages, or perhaps BrickHeadz.
There is other info at this time but for me personally, I’m very excited for this announcement because I’m a huge Overwatch fan. When I’m not doing anything LEGO-related, I’m usually playing the game. You can add me on Blizzard at Tormentalous#1173. Who else is excited for LEGO Overwatch sets?
Thanks to anonymous for the heads up!
More images of the summer 2018 LEGO sets have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers including the back of the boxes. One of the more interesting things are the boxes for the LEGO City sets which confirms that the new Power Functions 2.0 can be integrated with it through the Powered Up Platform. This means you will be able to use your phone or tablet to control it along with the standard remote.
LEGO will be moving forward with this innovative feature with these sets along with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile (76112) as well as for the upcoming LEGO DUPLO trains as well.

LEGO has just revealed the logo for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part which comes out in theaters in February 2019. There’s still no concrete info on what the story will consist of as there have been changes to it since last year. It looks like LEGO is ready to start promoting the movie so hopefully we’ll get some more details at San Diego Comic Con in a few months.
