In the final review of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man sets, we have the Malibu Mansion Attack (76007). This set has 364 pieces and retails for $39.99, which is about $0.11/piece. The box contains three numbered bags, two instruction booklets, a sticker sheet, and a small comic book. Be warned, there may be some movie spoilers in this review so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, read at your own risk. You have been warned.
The return of the LEGO Castle sets may be sooner than you think. According to Brickset, a worker at a Colorado Toys R Us store has seen the sets already on the shelves. If this is true, then the release date has been pushed up considerably since we were expecting them later on in the year. You may want to take a little trip down to your local Toys R Us stores to see if they’re on the shelves yet.
Every year, LEGO hosts an “Inside Tour” for guests in Billund, Denmark to let fans experience what goes on at the factories and exclusive LEGO sets are given away to individuals as a parting gift. This year, attendees will be receiving the Villy Thomsen Truck (4000008) as their going away gift. The truck was a very important truck back in the 1950’s because it was the first truck to transport LEGO products between cities. The instructions on LEGO’s site have been taken down but luckily, The Daily Brick has them up on their site if you want to build your own. If you’re interested in going to the LEGO Inside Tour for 2014, check out the site for more details on how you can attend next year’s tour.

Joshua Hanlon and Matthew Kay have been hosting Beyond the Brick podcast/videos for more than a year. The team would like to go to Brickworld Chicago 2013 and record some great footage to be released on a DVD in the future. They have set up a Kickstarter project and need your support to help fund their journey to Chicago. The money raised in the project will provide better equipment to take to Brickworld, supplies for the DVD, and rewards that are offered for supporting the project. There are lots of things included in the DVD:
- Over 90 minutes of high quality edited content
- Convention floor builder interviews
- Guided tour of the displays at Brickworld Chicago
- Creative LEGO building technique ideas from some of the world’s top builders
- Video inside Brickworld Chicago events
- Discussions with builders about how they prepare and set up for Brickworld Chicago
- Anything else that catches our eye at the convention
The DVD won’t be available after the Brickworld Chicago 2013 and will only be available for supporters of the Kickstarter. As of this writing, they are already more than halfway to their goal of $500 with 28 days left until the project ends. The more money that is sent, the better quality of content Beyond the Brick will be able to provide. So if you’re interested in helping out the team, head over to Kickstarter and show your support.
The official images of the LEGO Star Wars HH-87 Starhopper (75024) have finally surfaced. There are no details as of yet of the pricing but we do know the set will be released sometime this year. There are 3 minifigures included in the set Cad Bane, Nikto Guard, and Obi-Wan Kenobi disguised as Rako Hardeen.
If you’ve loved the various games that LEGO has released, we’re sad to report that we may have seen the last of them. All About Bricks is reporting that LEGO will be cancelling the Games theme by the end of the year because of poor sales. The theme did have great sales when it first launched back in 2009 but sales of the sets have dropped off since then. All About Bricks also states that the “current range will be available until all supplies are depleted” and that the Games that were supposed to be released later this year are also cancelled. Those sets are:
LEGO has not confirmed that the Games theme will indeed be cancelled but the article states that last year’s Games will be the final sets to be released. You can still pick them up at many retail stores as well as on Shop@Home. You can also purchase sets from Amazon
The results of a survey conducted by the Reputation Institute have been revealed and The LEGO Group has been named one of the top 10 companies globally in 2012. The research called RepTrack100, surveys the 100 most largest and most known brands in 15 different countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia/Pacifics to find which companies are reputable. The LEGO Group finished 5th in 2011. John Goodwin, Chief Executive Vice President and CFO of LEGO, states:
That we are able to finish in top 10 for the third year in a row is a fantastic recognition of how our organization is consistently making the LEGO promises come to life. We want children of all ages to experience joy and pride when exploring their creative potential. We want to leave a positive impact on in the world. We want to deliver a world class service to our customers. And not least do we want our employees to experience the strong sense of purpose and spirit that characterize the LEGO Group.
The results in North America illustrate that we are building a global reputation. But, it is also clear from the past three years’ results that we need to continually deliver world class products and service both to customers and consumers to maintain such an impressive position.
