First Look at LEGO Classic Pirate Minifigure Retro Set

Hoth Bricks has given a first look at this year’s VIP Retro Minifigure Set. Last year, we had the LEGO Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) which included a white Spaceman. For this year, the set will be a Pirates set which includes a Pirate minifigure on a boat mast with a skull flag, a shark, a palm tree, and a barrel. I assume the packaging of the box will be similar to last year with the slide out box and includes a small booklet taking a look back at the Pirates theme.

As for the requirements to get the Pirate VIP Retro Minifigure set, it’s stated on the image of 55€ but for us here in the States, it’ll probably be a gift with purchase of $99 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home for LEGO VIP members. It was rumored that this set would be happening in July but it doesn’t show up on the July 2015 LEGO Store Calendar so I think it’ll be happening here in a few months. Last year, this promo was in September so I think it’ll be around the same time. What do you guys think of this Pirate Retro Set?… Continue

Celebricktion LEGO Exhibition Happening in October

I was recently sent an email about a LEGO exhibition that will be happening in October called Celebricktion which will be held at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, GA. Read more about the event below:

CELEBRICKTION: a celebration of the LEGO brick building system

October 10-11, 2015; 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Cobb Galleria Centre
Atlanta, Georgia

Tickets are $15 at the door; a portion of each ticket sale goes to non-profits.

For this awesome event, Lego builders Harry and Austin Nijenkamp “free built” (meaning no plans or drawings) an entire city with over one million LEGO pieces featuring parks, skyscrapers exceeding 12-feet tall, busy streets, and even a parade containing thousands of LEGO minifigures. It took over a year to build this amazing city!

Also at this event:

– A replica of the Nijenkamps’ Lego studio to provide insight into how they create their giant exhibits.

– BRICKS’ custom 4′ M.O.C.s (my own creations) including Helm’s Deep, Winter Village, Spooktacular Haunted Scene, and
Pirate Island.

– A LEGO robotics demonstration.

– Kids’ freebuilders area with over 100,000 LEGO pieces.

– Pictures with “Mr. Bricks” and other mascots

– Various LEGO games.

– Kids’ bounce house.

– Concessions.

– Numerous creations by other metro-Atlanta LEGO enthusiasts.

– Custom 3D-printed minifigure heads of yourself.

– More than 20 LEGO vendors selling hard-to-find, new, and used LEGO sets, custom minifigures/bricks, light kits, and more!

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron SDCC 2015 Exclusive Set Revealed

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC Exclusive Throne of Ultron

San Diego Comic Con 2015 is upon us and The Hollywood Reporter has given us our first look at one of the exclusive sets that will be sold there, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron. The set consists of 203 pieces and will be sold for $39.99. It will have four minifigures: Ultron and three Ultron Sentries. It looks like all the minifigures are already in the current wave of Avengers: Age of Ultron sets with Ultron being the same as in The Quinjet City Chase (76032) and the Sentries looking similar to the ones in the Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) set but with the added neck brace piece.

As we all know by now, these exclusives are getting almost impossible to get when at SDCC unless you’re in the know. There will be a limited amount sold each day and usually the line will be filled up in a few minutes after the doors open. I’m going to try and get in line for it but I’m chances are slim that I’ll get one. I wish that LEGO would do what Mattel did with their SDCC exclusive this year and allow attendees to pre-order online and pick them up during the convention so it’s more organized. Many don’t know this but the LEGO booth isn’t ran by LEGO employees but LEGOLAND employees which is ran by Merlin Entertainments.

LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Sets Coming in 2016

LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Today is like an awesome day for LEGO Super Hero fans. Earlier today, it was announced that LEGO would be a licensing partner for next year’s Captain America: Civil War. Shortly after that, LEGO gave everyone a teaser for the LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice sets coming in 2016. Obviously, we don’t know what the sets will be about but I sure hope that the new Batmobile will be in one of the sets. Stay tuned for more details about the LEGO Bamtan v Superman sets as we get closer to 2016.

LEGO Captain America: Civil War License Announced

This is breaking news that will make LEGO fans very happy. Variety is reporting that Marvel has announced their licensing partners for next year’s Captain America: Civil War and LEGO will be a part of it which means that we’ll be getting sets for the movie next year in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line. Building off the success of the Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandise, Marvel and Disney are hoping that Civil War will also continue that trend.

The article does mention that the campaign will feature a number of newer characters including War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Black Widow, and Black Panther. We’ve already seen a few iterations of these characters as minifigures but hopefully we’ll see some more being introduced.

Products will be hitting store shelves eight weeks before the May 6 opening so that gives us a timeframe of when we should be expecting to see the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain America: Civil War sets. I’m going to guess that it’ll be around March or April.

What do you guys think of this news that was kind of expected given that LEGO tends to produce sets based on the Marvel movies? Which minifigures are you hoping to see be included in the sets?

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 (71010) Rumored Lineup

Back in January, I reported on some rumors surrounding the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010) in which the theme would about Monsters. Today, the sleuths over on Eurobricks has found a list of potential characters from a Czech website. They’ve been collectively translating the list but some minifigures are harder to translate than others and may sound weird. Keep in mind that this isn’t an official list so don’t get your hopes up too much.

Mad Scientist
The Fly
Crazy Witch
Gargoyle
Rocker Monster
Lady Vampire/Spider Lady
Grim Reaper
Specter/Ghost/Phantom/Spirit
Skeleton Guy/Skeleton
Bigfoot
Tiger Woman
Werewolf
Zombie Pirate Captain
Zombie Cheerleader
Zombie Businessman
Plant Monster/Man-eating Plant

I believe Series 14 will be released this fall so if the trend continues like last year, they could be officially be revealed around San Diego Comic Con time like last year with Series 12 (71007). Stay tuned for updates as they come.
