LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) Confirmed to be Retiring Soon

September 7, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has confirmed that the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) will indeed be retiring as per my report on some of the D2C sets that will be going away soon. The Palace Cinema was released back in 2013 and has had a very healthy shelf life of over four years.

If you’ve been holding off on getting it, now is probably your last chance to get it at retail price. I’m not sure if it will make it to the Double VIP Points promotion in October and I wouldn’t risk it.

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) Officially Announced

August 31, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

After much rumors and speculation for the past few years, LEGO has officially announced the newest LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set with the updated Millennium Falcon (75192). This set has been teased for the past month and we can now finally talk about the highly anticipated set.

As stated in the teaser last week, the UCS Millennium Falcon will have a whopping 7,541 which makes it the largest set in terms of piece count dwarfing the previous record holder of the LEGO Taj Mahal (10189) which came in at 5,922 pieces.

Not surprisingly, you would expect a set this massive would be somewhat pricey and it’s no chump change. The new UCS Millennium Falcon will retail for $799.99/CA $899.99/£649.99. It will be available starting September 14 for VIP Early Access and October 1 for the general release.

On to the features of the ship, as my rumor post from the beginning of the year, the Millennium Falcon will include details from the Original Trilogy as well as the from the newer Episode VII and upcoming Episode VIII films. This includes two sets of minifigures as well as the interchangeable antenna.

Check out the official press release, designer video, and additional photos below of the new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192).

The LEGO Batman Movie Bricktober 2017 Set Revealed

August 31, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Batman Movie Bricktober 2017 (5004939)

Traditionally, Toys R Us has been releasing exclusive minifigure sets for their annual Bricktober celebration and it looks like we know what this year’s set will be. PromoBricks has found out that we will be getting one for The LEGO Batman Movie (5004939). There are four different minifigures included but the one that stands out for me is the Easter Bunny Batman which I’ve been waiting on for a while. As shown on the top of the box, this set is the second of four sets that will be available.

There’s no word yet on how to get it during Bricktober but usually it’s with a certain dollar amount purchase, most likely at $75 or more. If there are any left over from the promotional period, they are sold by themselves.

LEGO Harry Potter Coming Back in 2018?

August 27, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There are some very interesting rumors coming out of Eurobricks of a theme that has sort of ended but may be coming back in 2018. The reliable Sir von Lego has said that LEGO Harry Potter will be sets coming next year and there’s also a hint from rob-ot5000 saying there might also be a Collectible Minifigure Series coming out of Harry Potter as well. There was also mentioning of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter but how that ties in to this whole thread remains a mystery. It is worth noting that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter encapsulates everything from the films and the books by J.K. Rowling and Fantastic Beasts 2 will be coming out next year as well so there might be sets and/or minifigures for both the original Harry Potter series and Fantastic Beasts.

The return of LEGO Harry Potter is some very exciting news since the last time we had official LEGO sets, besides LEGO Dimensions, was in 2011 which is the time I returned to LEGO. Keep in mind that these are just rumors and are not confirmed until LEGO announces it.

LEGOLAND California Announces New LEGO City: Deep Sea Adventure Ride and 4D Ninjago Movie

August 24, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, I was invited to LEGOLAND California for some big announcements for the park coming in 2018. The main attraction announced was the LEGO City: Deep Sea Adventure which is slated to open summer 2018. General Manager of LEGOLAND California, Peter Ronchetti, stated that the attraction is the park’s largest ride investment and it’s the first of its kind in North America. The ride is a 12 person submarine that takes you on a 4 minute journey though a 300,000 gallon aquarium that is filled with sea life including stingrays, sharks, and other fish.

Another thing that was announced for LEGOLAND California is a new 4D experience movie called LEGO Ninjago: Master of the 4th Dimension. There wasn’t much information about this movie but it does show the ninjas in their Hands of Time outfits.
