FBTB reports for Bricktober 2013, there will be three exclusive 5-pack Minifigure Collections available during the month.

LEGO Ninjago 2014 Official Partial Set Images

September 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Ninjago is officially back! In our third straight day of reporting Ninjago 2014 news, The Brick News has posted a couple of the official images of some of the sets which came from K-Mart of all sites. There are also descriptions which lists the minifigures including General Cryptor that we first reported a couple of days ago. What’s interesting to notice here too is that that the Kai, Lloyd, and Jay all have hair pieces instead of their hooded masks although if you look closely, the hoods still cover up half their faces. Also, you can see on the top right corner of the boxes of what Zane looks like. On the back of the OverBorg Attack box, you can get a clearer picture of him in his half Nindroid form. Now we just have to wait a little longer for the rest of the sets to show up.

Kai Fighter (70721) – $19.99

Put the heat on General Cryptor and grab the Techno-Blade with Kai Fighter with 2 flick missiles, jet engines and speed mode wings.

Kai has taken over a civilian vehicle and used his Techno-Blade to turn it into an awesome red and gold Ninja Fighter! Take off and weave between the skyscrapers of New Ninjago City with Kai in the cockpit. Shoot the gold-tipped flick missiles into the path of the evil General Cryptor and evade blasts from his ground-to-air laser rocket launcher. Defeat General Cryptor then flip the wings back to engage speed mode and zoom away. Includes 2 minifigures

LEGO Ninjago 2014 – Rebooted

September 24, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Official LEGO Ninjago Facebook Page has posted the above image of a new LEGO Ninjago poster with the words “REBOOTED” on top and an image of a cyborg ninja minifigure which we think is General Cryptor from yesterday’s post. On the bottom of the poster are the numbers “01001110 01001001 01001110 01000100 01010010 01001111 01001001 01000100”. For all of you who do not speak binary, the letters spell out “Nindroid”.

It looks like that LEGO is beginning to ramp up their promotion for the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets. The word “rebooted” may also be a play on words because it looks like LEGO is deciding to go in a different direction than what we’ve seen before with Ninjago with the Nindroids. Below is a list of what we believe to be the list of sets for next year’s release:

70720 – Air Breaks (Hover Hunter)
70721 – Kai fighter (Fighter Kai)
70722 – OverBorg attack (OverBorg Attack)
70723 – Thunder offensive (Thunder Raider)
70724 – NinjaCopter (NinjaCopter)
70725 – Nindroid mechanical dragon (Nindroid MechDragon)
70726 – Destroyers (Destructoid)

Update: We now have some images from a few of the sets. Check them out here.

LEGO Legends of Chima Scorpion & Spider Minifigure First Look

September 19, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

While doing my usual news finding on various LEGO communities, I came across something that many people will find interesting. Eurobricks member Karus has posted the above image of the LEGO Legends of Chima: Sticker Storybook which came from Amazon. The image gives us our very first look at a minifigure from the Scorpion tribe as well as from the Spider tribe. The Scorpion is mostly yellow and black and it looks like it’s wearing an armor piece that uses a simple hinge technique to attach the tail (see below). The head piece is also pretty cool looking with it’s emblem on top of the head and the mandibles in front of the mouth.

If you look towards the background of the cover, you can see a little bit of the minifigure from the Spider tribe. Although it’s not very clear, you can see some of the details for it. It’s brown and it looks like it’s wearing a grass skirt. You can also see it’s fangs on the menacing head piece. The four long legs are attached to the back probably similar to Doc Ock from the Spider-Man set.

My initial impression on these new characters is very good. I really like the look of the Scorpion and am looking forward to picking one it up when it comes out next year. Looking at the rumored 2014 Legends of Chima set list, I would guess the Scorpion will be in the Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger (70132) and/or in the Stinger Duel (70140). The Spider … Continue
