September 18, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brickset has found a list on a German toy shop called Wurst of LEGO sets that will be coming out in 2013. It looks like it’s going to be a pretty expensive 2013 so far.

LEGO Ninjago – Back in June, LEGO Community Coordinator Kevin Hinkle reported that LEGO Ninjago will be discontinued in 2013. The sets listed below might be some the last sets that you can buy from this popular theme. We’re not sure if there will be any more Ninjago sets after these.

LEGO Ninjago Cole’s Power Drill (70502)

LEGO Legends of Chima – In June, LEGO registered a couple of trademarks called LEGO Legends of Chima and Speedorz. This news set the LEGO community into a frenzy. This theme has been rumored to be the one to replace the discontinuing LEGO Ninjago theme in 2013. There have been pictures floating around the web of what Legends of Chima look like:

a series called Chima (imagine Animal heads like Cats, Lions, alligators, Eagles, Dogs, but with cool scars and minifig bodies, and they have Ripcords instead of Spinners.

September 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in June of this year, Nintendo announced LEGO City: Undercover for the Nintendo Wii U. Recently, there was a video of Satoru Shibata, President of Nintendo Europe, describing the game and some of the features. At 33:09 of the video, Shibata reveals the limited-edition exclusive Chase McCain minfigure which will be included when you pre-order LEGO City: Undercover on GameStop or Amazon. The game will be released on November 18, 2012. Below is the video as well as the trailer for the upcoming game.

LEGO Lone Ranger Coming In 2013?

September 12, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

This is speculation but Klaus-Dieter over on Eurobricks has reported that LEGO will be releasing sets tying in with the new Lone Ranger movie by Disney starring Armie Hammer and and Johnny Depp. LEGO fans have been waiting over a decade for a new Western themed set, which last came out in 2002, and now they might have the chance to get some in April of next year. Because the LEGO Lone Ranger will be themed sets, the minifigures will be fleshed colored instead of the normal yellowed colored minifigs. See below for the post by Klaus:

For the Western fans amongst us, I have good and bad news concerning next year:
The good news is that there finally will be a new Western theme which shall be out in April 2013. There will be one huge set, three medium sized sets and two small sets. Regrettably I don’t more since there were only empty boxes painted in the retailer’s catalogue.
The imo bad news is that it will be licensed – namely based on the new Walt Disney movie “Lones Rider”.

Also remember that mb_bricks achieved 10000 supporters for his Modular Western Town on LEGO CUUSOO which is currently under review. Hopefully these themes won’t be conflicting because both have the potential to be some great themes. Stay tuned for more details of the LEGO Lone Ranger theme.

LEGO Legends of Chima Pictures Leaked

September 12, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As you may have seen, there are some leaked pictures swirling around the web of pictures of the new LEGO Legends of Chima coming out sometime next year. The pictures are found on an eBay listing that ended July 15th. Two of the four pictures in the listing are marked “Confidential” and “Not to be copied or disclosed” and we here at The Brick Fan will be adhering to the wishes of The LEGO Group.

From what I see in the listing, it looks like that will be the theme that will be replacing Ninjago. There are spinners, animal head figures, and lots of weapons. A poster by the name of pezdez on the Brickset forums states that:

a series called Chima (imagine Animal heads like Cats, Lions, alligators, Eagles, Dogs, but with cool scars and minifig bodies, and they have Ripcords instead of Spinners.

So far, there are mixed reactions about the Legends of Chima. Considering these are pre-production pictures, I’m holding off any opinions about the theme until an official comment from LEGO comes out in the near future.

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Confirmed For January 2013?

September 3, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Sources of Hoth Brick have confirmed that there will be LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) licensed products coming in January 2013. Although there are no details on what the sets will consist of, we can speculate that the sets will be based on the new animated series on Nickelodeon debuting on September 29. This news comes to us after BrickUltra a couple of days ago broke the news that a user named chongcheng from LUGSing stated there might be products coming from the TMNT line:

“No evidence to show as yet. But a staff of a local LEGO Specialty shops say the TMNT keychains will be coming soon. Knowing LEGO, if the keychains are available, there are going to be sets. And there are going to be ninja turtles minifigs. Understand TMNT is under Nickelodeon (which LEGO already has worked with for Spongbob Squarepants), so the whole idea isn’t exactly far fetched”.

As a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series in 1987, I am excited to see the Turtles in LEGO form next year. I’ll be posting more details about TMNT line as they come in the near future.

LEGO CUUSOO The Amazing Spider-Man

August 22, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve seen Michael McCooey’s, aka mmccooey, work before, you’ve probably seen his MOCs of the poseable Batman and Deadpool figures. He has now created The Amazing Spider-man figure and needs your help to reach 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. Spider-Man is more flexible and agile than Batman and Deadpool so changes were needed:

NEW AND IMPROVED

-He has a ball joint at the base of the neck as well as pivot joint at the base of the skull, allowing him to look all the way down and over his shoulders when contorted.

-A mid-torso joint that allows him to bend his spine forward and back, it also rotates from left to right, like the waist joint.

-His elbows and knees are double jointed, which allows free range of movement and the ability to fully crouch his legs.

-The hips can now allow the legs up and over the wasteline allowing for those very spider-like poses.

-His ankles have a second pivot joint for extra steep ankle poses, as well of full range of motion in the main joint.

-His feet have an articulated toe piece to make those perching poses more natural.

Licensing probably won’t be an issue since there are Spider-man sets coming out next year but that’s a separate issue. This is an amazing figure and I would totally support the project on LEGO CUUSOO and hope you can show your support too!
