LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition Coming in 2019

July 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every year we get new LEGO Star Wars sets and for physical media, they have to release new material to keep the content updated. Amazon has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition that is tentatively slated to come out April 1, 2019. We’ve already gotten some visual dictionaries before for LEGO Star Wars such as the original one from 2009 and the Updated and Expanded version from 2014. It has been four years since the last book and will be almost five when the New Edition comes out next year. The book will cover a majority of the sets and minifigures that have been released the past few years. Like with many other LEGO DK books, there will be an exclusive minifigure that will be included but we probably won’t know who it is until sometime next year.

Currently, you can’t pre-order the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition just yet but I’ll let you know when you are able to.

Explore the LEGO® Star Wars™ galaxy with this visual guide to the minifigures, vehicles, and sets from the entire Star Wars saga. Discover every detail of the Millennium Falcon, look around the Death Star, examine Poe Dameron’s X-wing starfighter, and find out about all your favourite LEGO Star Wars minifigures – from Rey to Darth Vader.

LEGO Ninjago at San Diego Comic Con 2018

July 8, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu SDCC 2017

LEGO Ninjago has been a staple at San Diego Comic Con for the past few years and fans have been drooling over the details for the upcoming seasons. Not surprisingly, LEGO Ninjago will be back at SDCC 2018 as the Sunday Programming Schedule is now out and there will be a panel held early in the morning. On Sunday, July 22 from 10:30-11:30am in Room 6A, the people behind LEGO Ninjago will be on hand and it’ll be a little interesting this year. The description doesn’t say they will talk about the next season but it says they will talk about their favorite memories and other reflections of the show. I believe they’ll still give a sneak peek but it’s curious the description doesn’t say the panel will like with previous years. Like as before, I’ll try to do a live tweeting session if my schedule lines up.

If you think ninja and LEGO are cool, then this is the panel for you! Ninjago veterans Tommy Andreasen (co-creator/producer) and Michael Svane Knap (LEGO senior design manager) are joined by lead writer Bragi Schut, voice talents Brent Miller (voice of Zane), Kelly Metzger (voice of Nya), and Vincent Tong (voice of Kai) to talk about their favorite memories and other reflections on creating LEGO’s longest running and most successful show. Bring the kids! Ninjaaaaa-GO! Moderated by the LEGO Group’s Brian Bowler.

LEGO Unikitty Panel Confirmed for SDCC 2018

June 29, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The San Diego Comic Con 2018 programming schedule is still a few weeks away from being revealed but we already know of one of the LEGO panels that will be happening at the convention. Matthew Ashton has confirmed that there will be a LEGO Unikitty panel on Saturday, July 21 from 10-11am in Room 6DE. Joining the panel includes the cast of the show such as Tara Strong, Grey Griffin, Eric Bauza, H Michael Croner, Roger Craig Smith, as well as some of the behind the scenes people like Edu Skudder, Lynn Wang, and Anna Hollingsworth. The panel will show off a brand new episode as well as a Q&A session with the cast.

I’m sure there will be fans of the show attending since it was packed last year when it was first revealed at last year’s SDCC. Barring any scheduling conflicts, I’ll probably be attending the panel to see how it is.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2018 Exclusives Moving to Lottery System

June 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is less than a month away and they have announced that LEGO will indeed be using the lottery system for their exclusives they will be selling at the booth. I expect that it’ll be a bit harder to get this year because before, people would get in line for a chance to purchase the exclusives but now, everyone who is eligible to participate will be able to try for the lottery without being in the physical line. Obviously, I’ll be trying for it as I’ve had pretty good luck with the LEGO exclusives in the past few years but we’ll see as I’m actually pretty terrible with lotteries. I couldn’t even get parking for SDCC using five different emails the past two years.

The two exclusive LEGO SDCC 2018 sets for purchase that have been announced so far are the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Cockpit (75512) and LEGO DC Super Heroes Aquaman and Storm (75996). If LEGO is doing the minifigures again this year, I don’t think it is part of this lottery since this is for merchandise and I believe they’ll do the same thing as before in the Sails Pavilion.

Update: It looks like the exclusive LEGO minifigures are also on the lottery system as well.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2018 Millennium Falcon Cockpit (75512)

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech (76117) Revealed

June 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has a knack for revealing the following year’s sets at San Diego Comic Con and it looks like they’ve done their first reveal for this year with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech (76117). It contains 375 pieces and retails for $39.99 and it will be available at the beginning of 2019. The Firefly minifigure is new but all of the other minifigures we’ve seen before but with updated printing. The set will be on display at SDCC 2018 and we’ll have close up images of the set once we’re on the show floor.

LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Confirmed to be Coming

June 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, LEGO released the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) which was a large scale model of the character and it turned out to be a pretty successful set. It looks like LEGO will continue with that trend of producing larger scale builds and Brickshop.nl has confirmed that there will be a Porg (75230) coming out later this year. Consisting of 811 pieces and retailing for €79.99, LEGO is hoping the adorable furry creature will bring them the same success as it did with BB-8.
