LEGO BrickHeadz The Simpsons Homer & Krusty the Clown (41632) Revealed

August 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO BrickHeadz The Simpsons Homer & Krusty (41632)

It was just a few weeks ago that I reported on some more rumored 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets and today LEGO has officially announced one of them with The Simpsons Homer & Krusty the Clown (41632) set. Yes, you heard that right. The Simpsons license with LEGO is still going on and this new Simpsons BrickHeadz will be coming out later this year. The two pack features Homer Simpson with a donut and Krusty the Clown. This is sort of an odd pairing but hopefully we’ll see more Simpsons characters in the future.

August 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Wizarding World theme consists of both the Harry Potter franchise as well as Fantastic Beasts and for this year with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald coming out in November, LEGO has introduced one set called Grindelwald’s Escape (75951). It has 132 pieces and retails for $19.99 and it is the smallest of the system sets in the 2018 Wizarding World theme.

LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober 2018 (5005254)

Earlier today I reported that we finally get some images of the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets which came from a Toys R Us Germany flyer. Unfortunaly for those countries including the US who doesn’t have a Toys R Us anymore, it was up in the air of which retailer would be getting the set. It has been confirmed on Twitter that Barnes & Noble, of all places, will be getting the sets later this year. There’s still no dates on when the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available but at least we know where we can get them.

Thanks to everyone who emailed in about this piece of news. I was at work and couldn’t update for the past few hours.

Update: LEGO just clarified that only the LEGO Harry Potter set will be available at Barnes & Noble so it’s still unsure which retailer(s) will get the other ones.

LEGO Jurassic World Bricktober 2018 (5005255)

LEGO Bricktober 2018 Sets Revealed

August 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few months ago, I reported on some rumored LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets and it looks like we now have a first look at the sets that come from a German Toys R Us flyer. There will be four sets in the wave and they include various LEGO themes including LEGO Harry Potter (5005254), LEGO Jurassic World (5005255), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256), and LEGO Ninjago (5005257).

The LEGO Harry Potter set will include minifigures of Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape.

THe LEGO Jurassic World set will have Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and a small velociraptor.

The LEGO Ninjago set will have characters from the Sons of Garmadon storyline.

Finally the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set will have War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky.

There’s no word yet if the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available outside of Toys R Us but if you look closely at the sets, you’ll notice that there is no Toys R Us printing like with sets from previous years so it makes me think that they will be available elsewhere.

Watch the LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2018 Panel

August 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2018 panel was pretty exciting for those who attended last month as well as those who were following my live tweets that day. You can now watch most of the panel on YouTube as LEGO has uploaded a majority of what we saw there in person. The panel consisted of LEGO senior designer Michael Svane Knap, Brent Miller, Vincent Tong, Kelly Metzger with Ninjago co-creator Tommy Andreasen hosting. Unlike previous years, the video shows pretty much everything that was shown on the screen, including the clips that we were told not to record, so it’s worth a watch if you have time.

Rumored LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine Re-Release

August 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in 2008, LEGO released a LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine (4999) promotional set and there’s rumors that the set may be re-released to commemorate the launch of the sustainable bricks initiative. Brick Fanatics is reporting that the Vesta Wind Turbine could be returning later this year in the LEGO Creator Expert line. Since LEGO has invested in wind turbines towards their goal of using 100 percent renewable energy by 2020, it’s not that big of a surprise that LEGO will want to promote it more.

LEGO BrickHeadz Rumored 2019 Sets

August 16, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The year is slowly winding down and all of the 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets have already been announced and revealed, however, we have gotten some rumors of some 2019 BrickHeadz sets. From the details that I’ve received, it seems that we will be getting a two-pack set for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald featuring Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald (41631).

Another set may come as a huge surprise but it looks like we’ll be getting a Simpsons BrickHeadz set that features Homer Simpson and Krusty the Clown (41632). As I said, this comes at a surprise because we thought that the Simpsons license had expired when we didn’t get any more sets for the theme. I look forward to seeing what other characters LEGO decides to produce for this popular show.

Correction: I’ve been told these two sets will be coming out later this year.
