LEGO DC Kingdom Come SDCC 2018 Set by Alex Ross

June 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is only a few short weeks away and like with previous years, LEGO has a pretty big presence at the event. The thing that fans have been waiting for are the exclusive sets and minifigures that are available at the convention. We’re still a couple of weeks away from those reveals as LEGO likes to keep them close to the chest but it there is something interesting that has popped up online not by LEGO but by another exhibitor.

Alex Ross has posted the above image on Facebook with the caption “New- Kingdom come- LEGO set #sdcc”. If you’re not familiar with Alex Ross, he is the writer and illustrator for the four-issue series Kingdom Come from 1996 and the image is a “set” based on the comic. The image features the iconic cover, in a way, and has custom minifigures of the Alan Scott Green Lantern, The Spectre, Wonder Woman, Superman, Norman McCay, Batman, and the Wallace West Flash.

There’s no confirmation that this is something that will be sold at SDCC by LEGO or by Alex Ross himself. It is curious because he did use the SDCC hashtag in the caption but I’m not sure what this means. It could mean that he may just be displaying it there for show or we’re just be looking too much into it. We’ll definitely know if this is an exclusive in a few weeks when more SDCC exclusives are announced so stay tuned for that. Thanks to everyone who messaged in … Continue

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Rumored to be Microscale

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Great Hall (75954)

Way back in October of last year, I talked about a Direct-to-Consumer LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) that was slated to come out later this year. Many speculated that it would be UCS scale but there are now rumors that it may not be that. Just2Good and another close source is now saying that the Hogwarts Castle will be a microscale set similar to the size of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier (76042) with microfigures. Obviously this is not what fans were imagining but we’ll just have to wait and see and make a judgement when it is announced. Keep in mind that we’re already getting the 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall (shown above) which is reported to be coming out in a few short weeks.

Thanks to those who emailed in about this. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Sneak Peek at Rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center Set?

June 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

On this day 25 years ago, my favorite movie of all-time, Jurassic Park, was released in theaters and earlier today, LEGO released an image to celebrate the anniversary. The scene shows the end of the movie where the Tyrannosaurus Rex is inside the Visitor’s Center with the banner falling down.

If you look closely, you can actually see part of the Visitor’s Center in the background and could this be a teaser to the rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center set? If you’ve been following my posts, I’ve talked about it on and off but there’s still no definite confirmation about it. One of my contacts says there is one coming but I cannot confirm it at this time. As we know by now, there’s already a 25th anniversary LEGO Jurassic Park set that has been released with the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932).

Thanks to anonymous for pointing this out.

June 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Group has announced that they are partnering up with the popular Swedish furniture company IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. The press release doesn’t go into detail of what will be happening with this partnership however my guess is that we could see LEGO branded furniture being sold at IKEA. Stay tuned as we expect more information in the near future about the LEGO/IKEA team-up.

IKEA AND THE LEGO GROUP IN COLLABORATION TO ENABLE MORE PLAY AND CREATIVITY

We know that play is an important part of life and we believe in the power of play. Play lets us be creative, explore, experiment, dream and discover. IKEA and the LEGO Group, join forces to encourage more play.

Play is key to develop. And it is an essential part of a better everyday life. Play is so many different things, for so many different people. In the everyday life there are different barriers for play. Some of the barriers are more evident for grown-ups. One being that grown-ups think that playing can be messy. Other barriers are more evident to children – like grown-ups trying to create order in the play environment, where children in fact enjoy and often immerse themselves in the midst of it all.

“It started with an invitation from the LEGO Group “Do you want to play?”. Of course we said yes to this and together we now want to enable more play by triggering play in the functionality of the everyday life. At IKEA we first

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Teaser Trailer Breakdown

June 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The big news yesterday was that teaser trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part was released online yesterday and I’m going to try and do a breakdown of what happened in the trailer and what sets we could get from LEGO from what was shown.

It’s been five years since the events on Taco Tuesday and Bricksburg has turned into an apocalyptic wasteland. If you remember, LEGO DUPLO characters came at the end of The LEGO Movie and it looks like they caused the destruction of the city.

As a result, everything turned into chaos and it “toughened and hardened” most people including Larry the Barista who underwent a drastic change. The only person that seemingly didn’t get affected was Emmet.

Emmet thinks he sees a shooting star go by but it is most likely a device sent down by a new character named Sweet Mayhem who is a minidoll instead of a minifigure. Here we can see a new Unikitty who is now a large armored cat that has long front and hind legs.

Building their way through trouble is still an integral part of their characters as you can see them build a four-wheel buggy that could be one of the sets we could get.

Soon after that, they meet Sweet Mayhem, voiced by Stephanie Beatriz, who actually looks pretty cool. She is a minidoll style and wears a stylish helmet with some sparkly wings.
