Having Some Fun Building a LEGO UCS Invisible Jet

October 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Reddit, user John Wray, aka JimmyLegs50, has created something fun during the holiday weekend with his kids, the LEGO DC Super Heroes UCS Invisible Jet which includes a Wonder Woman minifigure. The set contains 3,200 invisible pieces and even the instructions are invisible. Of course, no such thing exists (yet) but that doesn’t keep him from having some fun with his kids with the help of Photoshop.

There will be an official set next year with an Invisible Jet next year with the Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas (76026) set but it’s not as cool as what John has done. Cool dad points added. Check out the rest of the photos here.

Will There Be LEGO Sets Based on the Civil War Storyline?

October 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Variety is reporting that Robert Downey Jr. is in talks to sign on for Captain America 3 which paves the way for a new phase in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Civil War storyline.

If you’re familiar with the Cival War storyline, it pits Tony Stark and Steve Rogers against each other when they feud over the Superhero Registration Act. The Act forces anyone with superhuman abilities to reveal their true identities to the government. Of course, many characters are for it like Stark and others aren’t like Rogers. The Superhero Registration Act includes many Marvel characters in the storyline including Spider-Man. Currently the Spider-Man franchise is owned by Sony but there are rumors they may be sharing the franchise with Marvel so both companies can use the character.

Will this news translate into official LEGO sets? My guess is probably since this is one of the most popular storylines in Marvel’s history but it’s still too early to tell. Captain America 3 won’t happen for a few more years but it’s never too early to speculate. What minifigures do you want to see in sets if LEGO does produce sets based on the Civil War? For reference, here’s a list of characters who are involved in the storyline.

LEGO One Piece Thousand Sunny by Orion Pax

October 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, we featured a MOC from my of my favorite manga/anime series, the Thousand Sunny from One Piece. Unfortunately, the images that it was hosted on was taken down so we have a replacement.

Alex Jones (Orion Pax) never cease to amaze and he has created his version of the famous Straw Hat Pirates ship. The MOC is very accurate to the show with the custom sail piece and the lion figurehead at the bow. Check out more images of the Thousand Sunny on Alex’s site.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron Set Details

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After a couple of days of fairly quiet news in LEGO world, Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has stirred up the pot with information about the 2015 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. He has detailed some of the minifigures and prices for next year’s lineup for the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets that will be released next summer. Sir von Lego has given credible information before so I do believe the info is trustworthy.

Avengers “Iron Man” (76029) – 14.99 EUR
Avengers Offroader, with Thor (76030) – 19.99 EUR
Avengers Hulk, Scarlet Witch (76031) – 34.99 EUR
Avengers Space Ship, Captain America (76032) – 79.99 EUR
Avengers Tower (76038) – 69.99 EUR
Avengers Fortress (76041) – 59.99 EUR

From the list above, it looks like we’re finally getting an Avengers Tower that everybody has been asking for and from the price listed, it’ll be a fairly large one with some playability features. Of course, those aren’t the final set names but at least there are some details of who will be included in the sets.

On an related/unrelated note, I’ve received word from a source that we will also be seeing another Avengers set that nobody has noted yet, the Avengers Helicarrier. It will be a UCS type set with the price point around $300 and will be available next summer. I’m going to take this information as a rumor for now but it’ll be cool for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to finally see a UCS set considering that we got one for LEGO … Continue

New LEGO In-Store Action App Now Available

October 10, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has set a goal this year to leverage digitalisation and they have been doing that with the new LEGO Fusion sets as well as apps like LEGO Connect. Today they have released their latest app called LEGO In-Store Action.

This free app allows you to scan special LEGO posters at select stores which will reveal an animated LEGO Minifigure so you can take a picture with it and share with your friends and family.

Features:
– Scan special LEGO posters in stores with your smartphone or tablet camera to take an awesome photo with a LEGO Minifigure!
– When scanning a poster, the Minifigures will come to life and animate in fun poses for tons of different photo opportunities. Pause the animation at any time to compose the perfect photo!
– The app will be updated frequently, so be sure to check back often to see if new Minifigures have been added…can you snap them all? Who will you find next?
– Not at a store? No problem! The app also features two Minifigures you can take pictures with without scanning the in-store posters, right in your own home.

LEGO Jurassic World Sets Officially Announced by Universal

October 8, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In a press release (PDF) yesterday by Universal, they have officially announced the licensing partners for Jurassic World and as we already know, The LEGO Group will be one of the partners. There are five sets that are rumored to be in the wave and they will be available in May 2015.

We first heard of the LEGO Jurassic World sets when Chris Pratt, who plays the park keeper Owen, said that he has already seen the look of his LEGO minifigure in an interview. This will be Pratt’s third character to be a LEGO minifigure in two years with Emmet from The LEGO Movie and Star Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy being the first two.

Universal has been very tight-lipped on any leaked information for Jurassic World, including that video of the trailer, so we probably won’t be seeing any images of the LEGO sets any time soon. There’s a chance that we could hear/see something during the 2015 London Toy Fair in January or the New York Toy Fair in February. Stay tuned for more details of the LEGO Jurassic World sets as they become available.

Universal Partnerships & Licensing (UP&L) today announced that The LEGO Group will create original LEGO®products in conjunction with the release of Jurassic World, the long-awaited next installment in Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking film series that will be released on June 12, 2015. The LEGO Group’s participation rounds out an overall branded toy campaign designed to bring the action, adventure and excitement of the film to audiences around

LEGO Friends 2015 Official Images Revealed

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just2Good is back again with LEGO 2015 set image reveals and today he has next year’s wave of LEGO Friends sets. I have a feeling that the lighthouse and the hot air balloon set will be pretty popular sets in this wave. Note that the three sets that do no have box images will be replacing the Animal Packs. There are a couple of other sets on the rumored list that do not have images at this time.

Update: The rest of the images are now available via Spielwaren-Bludau.
