Rumored LEGO Sets for Solo: A Star Wars Story

A few days ago, the Han Solo standalone film, got its title of simply Solo: A Star Wars Story which was confirmed by director Ron Howard who took over for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. As with other Star Wars movies, there will be some LEGO sets to accompany the film. According to “rumors,” there will be five system sets (75207, 75209, 75210, 75211, 75212) and possibly two buildable figures (75535, 75536) that will be released in April 2018 for it. According to one of my sources, there will be a Millennium Falcon, not surprisingly, but it will don a blue and white paint job.

We’ll probably won’t see images of these sets at next year’s Nuremberg and New York Toy Fairs since LEGO usually keeps licensed under wraps. Solo: A Star Wars Story will be in theaters May 25, 2018.

LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle D2C Set in 2018?

Back in August, I did a post reporting that we may be seeing the return of LEGO Harry Potter in 2018 which included sets as well as a Collectible Minifigure Series. There’s a new rumor floating around that we could also be seeing a direct-to-consumer set (71043) for the theme. One logical suggestion is that this D2C Harry Potter set may feature Hogwarts Castle similar to what LEGO did last year with The Disney Castle (71040). If this is true, the large scale Hogwarts can show various rooms or memorable scenes from the eight films.

Of course this is only currently a rumor so take it with a grain of salt until something official is announced by LEGO. Note that the image above is from the 2010 set which was one of my first reviews on The Brick Fan. How time flew by.

LEGO Dimensions Officially Cancelled

LEGO Dimensions Year 2

We’ve talked about this back in March but it looks like LEGO Dimensions has been officially cancelled. A source that is close to to TT Games has told Eurogamer that the game is over and done, a year earlier than expected. There isn’t expected to be an official announcement as it seems that TT Games wants it to be silently cancelled. This news was first talked about by Bricks to Life back in March as well.

A reason for the game being going away is that the sales for the Year 2 content did not meet expectations as the whole toys-to-life genre has been slowly fading away. One interesting tidbid is that some of the Year 3 content included Lord Vortech to round out the story. Some other planned expansions included LEGO Minecraft, another Doctor Who pack to feature Missy, and DC Comics Super Heroes Flash. The company also had an idea to have a camera scan a LEGO build and replicate them in the game but this idea was shot down.

TT Games studio manager Dave Dootson sent a memo to the company when it was for sure the LEGO Dimensions was cancelled:

Thanks so much to everyone for making Dimensions possible. As difficult as it has been, it is worth celebrating the incredible achievement it represents in the quality of the game, the amazing blend of IPs and the challenging technical demands it presented. It stands as a real testament to the talent within TT.

Marvel Black Panther Trailer and LEGO Set Speculation

The new trailer for Marvel Studio’s Black Panther dropped earlier today there was a lot of cool new things that were shown off. It is rumored that there will be two LEGO sets coming out in conjunction with the movie next year as I reported back in July. What could LEGO pack in two sets that will have a big impact for fans or will it be something like the LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 or Spider-Man: Homecoming sets from earlier this year?

One thing that we’ll most likely get is Black Panther in the new tech suit. I’m guessing that we’ll also see Erik Killmonger in the Golden Jaguar suit since he is one of the villains in the movie. As for the sets, one possibility is the ship that was seen at the beginning of the trailer because ships are a staple in movie tie-in sets. Another possibility is the chase scene at the end which also shows off Ulysses Klaue with a new arm.

What are you guys hoping to see in the LEGO Black Panther sets? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Confirmed for Spring 2018

It has been officially announced that there will be LEGO sets coming out next year for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This isn’t really a surprise since we also got LEGO sets for Jurassic World a few years ago but it’s nice to have confirmation of LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen World sets. It was stated they will start hitting store shelves in Spring 2018 in anticipation of the film releasing in June.

Master global toy partner Mattel and LEGO Systems will lead the retail roll-out with toys across a variety of play patterns and age segments, additional toy, role play and costume licensees supporting the second film include Funko, Build-A-Bear, Rubies, Wowee and more.
