LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving (40261) Set Revealed

July 29, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about one of the 2017 LEGO Seasonal sets with the last one being the Halloween (40260) set. It looks like that set is now available in some places and there is now a first look at this year’s LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving (40261) set which comes fromt he back of the instructions.

Like with the other sets, there are small builds that make come together for a little scene including a vegetable garden with a scarecrow, a basket full of food, a cart, a tree, a brick-built turkey, and two minifigures.

Presumably, the 133 piece Thanksgiving set will be available starting in October for $9.99 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow SDCC 2017 Vixen Review

July 24, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen

On two separate days at San Diego Comic Con 2017, LEGO was giving away to attendees an exclusive LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen. If you’re not a fan of the show, you may be wondering who this character is. There are actually two versions of the character in the Arrowverse with this one being Mari’s grandmother. Like with previous exclusive SDCC LEGO minifigures, she comes in a clamshell with a backing card.

Vixen wears a dark brown outfit with some tan armor printing. There’s also printing of the Anansi Totem necklace that goes around her neck. The legs also have some more detail printing including the knee armor. Her double-sided head piece is nouget colored with a normal expression on one side and a smirk on the other. Her hair piece is brown with a braid in the back.

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen minifigure is a pretty obscure character for those who aren’t familiar with the show. This also marks the second SDCC minifigure in a row for Legends of Tomorrow joining Atom from last year. Will we continue this trend of seeing more LoT minifigures at SDCC or will we be seeing other DC properties? We shall see in less than a year. Admittedly, Vixen isn’t as popular as the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck but she was popular enough for people to line up hours before the raffle started for a chance to get her.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2017 Deadpool Duck Review

July 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It wasn’t announced until Preview Night of San Diego Comic Con 2017 but I have managed to get the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck. He is basically what happens when Deadpool is combined with Howard the Duck which was first introduced in a five issue miniseries at the beginning of the year. The clamshell that Deadpool Duck uses is the same one as before in previous years. The backing is just a two-sided one with the back promoting LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

The torso is a new one with updated printing. There are now straps that go around the shoulders and around the back. There’s also some brown pouches around the waist as well. The Deadpool buckle is a little bit larger. The legs are of the short variety as he is a duck. The head gets a makeover which uses the Donald and Daisy head mold from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Disney Series (71012). The head is now painted with the red and black Deadpool mask with one eye squinting.

Overall, the exclusive SDCC 2017 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck is a great addition to any collection. Considering Deadpool hasn’t appeared in a set since 2013 with the Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown (6866), any variant of him is a good. Unfortunately for fans who weren’t able to attend SDCC, the only way to possibly get it is having really good friends or on the secondary market. The price of it has dropped somewhat since SDCC ended but it’s still … Continue

LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2017 Panel Recap

July 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ninjago TV series panel was earlier today at San Diego Comic Con 2017 and there was some new information regarding Season 8. I was also live-tweeting the panel which can check out on Twitter.

The panel consisted of Writers Kevin and Dan Hageman, showrunner Tommy Andreasen, senior creative director Simon Lucas, IP lead Nelson Lamonica, and suprise guest David Shayne. The first thing the panel talked about was last season’s Hands of Time.

LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu SDCC 2017

The first thing the panel talked about was some of the inner workings of the previous season. They showed off some concept art and talked about what the season was about.

They dug deeper into some of the villains who were involved including Sander Saunders, aka Krux, and the Vermillion. Like before, there are some prototypes of the Vermillion.

Next up is more concept art for the Kai and Nya’s Fusion Dragon. They explained that they wanted to make it look more organic.

Finally, there was the big question of where Wu is. We’ll find out more in Season 8. One cool thing that was touched on was some kids at last year’s panel gave some suggestions on how Zane got his powers and the Hagemans took those suggestions and we will be seeing them next season.

Finally, we have the opening sequence clip for Season 8. I didn’t record or take pictures as it technically wasn’t allowed but that didn’t stop some from doing it. Embedded below is the whole clip which you can watch before it gets taken … Continue

July 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

MTV has revealed a new San Diego Comic Con 2017 promotional poster for The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It features Garmadon and Lloyd at the top with the Ninjas and Master Wu at the bottom. It was given away during the autograph signing event.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie has a pretty big presence at SDCC this year and we’re all excited for the upcoming panel which should have a new trailer for the movie as well.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie garmadon, Garmadon, GARMADON! (70656) First Look

July 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2017 Preview Night kicked off earlier today and as soon as the doors were open, I headed straight to the LEGO booth where it was featuring a lot of The LEGO Ninjago Movie. All of the sets accompanying the movie were on display but we also got a look at one of the sets that will be coming out later in the year with garmadon, Garmadon, GARMADON! (70656). We got a set description of it last month and we finally have a good look at it. The set was shown in the trailer and it includes Garmadon’s shark mech but it also has a little hot dog stand with the Hot Dog Guy minifigure as well. It has 830 pieces and will retail for $79.99 starting on December 1.

Did a LEGO Designer Hint at the Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)?

July 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s something coming out of the Brickset Forums yesterday regarding the highly rumored and anticipated updated LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). I saw it yesterday but there was plenty of San Diego Comic Con 2017 news and planning that I held off on reporting it.

If you’re familiar with the set listings on Brickset, you would sometimes see something called “Bricklist Notes” in which LEGO designers can put notes into sets they have designed to give some information about the creative process. Hans Burkhard Schlömer, who is on the LEGO Star Wars design team, has worked previous sets including the Millennium Falcon (75105) and UCS sets such as the Slave I and the Assault on Hoth (75098) has given an very interesting note on a set that was released this year. In the Republic Fighter Tank (75182) listing, Hans wrote:

Clones need a ride too! I did this set as a quick side-project while working on a much, much, much, much, much, much larger set which is going to be announced on September 1st 2017.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you would know that September 1 is the planned date for Star Wars Force Friday II event for The Last Jedi. I’m not a rocket scientist but that sounds like a big ol’ hint for the Millennium Falcon, doesn’t it? Or it could just be that reported UCS BB-8 (75187) that is supposedly coming as well.

We’ll all see together in about one and a half months when all the new LEGO … Continue
