All aboard Steamboat Willie to celebrate Mickey Mouse’s birthday!

Disney Mickey Mouse fans will love this LEGO® Ideas 21317 Steamboat Willie building toy marking the 90th anniversary of the most famous cartoon character ever. Mickey Mouse made his screen debut in a 1928 black-and-white animated short film called ‘Steamboat Willie’, which was also the first Disney film to have synchronized sound. This LEGO brick version of the S.S. Willie features steam pipes that move up and down and paddle wheels that rotate when the boat is pushed along. The boat’s bridge has room for a minifigure and play-inspiring nautical details such as the ship’s wheel, life buoy and buildable bell. On deck there is a working crane to lift the ‘potato bin’ cargo aboard and this unique toy building set comes with new-for-April-2019 Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse minifigures, each with special silver-colored decoration, plus a parrot figure. An ideal LEGO set for kids

Rumored LEGO Stranger Things Set in 2019?

March 17, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s a new LEGO rumor that a reader has pointed me to from Brick Fanatics that may pique your interest as they are reporting that we may see a LEGO Stranger Things set coming later this year. With Season 3 of the show coming this summer on Netflix, it’s not out of the question that a releasing a set would be a smart thing to do. Brick Fanatics is reporting that the set could include a human world location and part of the Upside Down. If this is a legit set, we’ll probably see some of the kids including Eleven, Dustin, Mike, Lucas, and Will.

On a similar note, a saw rumor fly by a few weeks ago but I sort of dismissed it but now Brick Fanatics also comes in with this piece of news. They’re a pretty reliable source of some of the more recent sets so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Don’t set your expectations too high if we don’t get a LEGO Stranger Things set. As will all rumors, they are just that until LEGO themselves start teasing them or officially announces it.

LEGO Star Wars Snowspeeder – 20th Anniversary Edition (30384) Polybag Revealed

March 11, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, we got our first look at the LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary sets that are coming out in April. One of these sets include the Podracer (30461) polybag but it look like there’s a new one that has started hitting store shelves. Thanks to Burnt Orange Bricks, the Snowspeeder (30384) polybag has been found at Target stores. Coming in at 49 pieces and retailing for $3.99, it is a recreation of the Rebel Snowspeeder. According to Burnt, the Podracer polybag has also been found at Target. I have the DPCI numbers of 204-00-4845 and 204-00-4899 but I’m not sure which one is for which polybag. Those numbers also do not show up yet on Brickseek so I suggest going there to look for them for now.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers Tower (40334) Promotional Set Revealed

March 9, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Unlike the US, the LEGO Store Calendars in other countries still show some upcoming gift-with-purchase promotions and for April, there’s a cool LEGO Marvel Super Heroes one. According to the Spanish LEGO Store flyer, there is a Marvel one with purchases of 79.99€ and it has been revealed to be the Avengers Tower (40334).

This set was accidentally put on store shelves at one of the Certified Stores and it features the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years Avengers Tower. It has a microscale version of the tower along with the Quinjet as well as an exclusive Iron Man minifigure.

This set is similar to the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (40289) promotion that we got last year. There’s no word yet on availability here in the US but we’ll get details of it some time next month which I’ll let you guys know. Thanks to Joey for the heads up.
