LEGO at the 2017 London Toy Fair

January 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The 2017 London Toy Fair is set to kick off and LEGO again this year will be on hand to show off some of the upcoming sets for later this year. Photography is still prohibited so we’ll have to wait until the Nuremberg Toy Fair next week to see initial images but for now, we’ll have to rely on attendees who are able to describe the sets in detail to give us a tease of what to expect. We’ve already had an initial list of the rumored Summer 2017 LEGO sets already so I’m excited to see what all is included with these sets.

The LEGO Batman Movie Toys R Us Mini Batmobile

January 22, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Toys R Us Hong Kong did a mini-building event for The LEGO Batman Movie and attendees got to create a small Batmobile. If you look closely, it is very similar to The LEGO Movie Emmet’s Flying Car from three years ago except for the large wings on the side. This results in the set having 60 pieces now.

Man So over in the Legend Bricks LEGO 交流交友區 Facebook group has also provided the building instructions if you want to create your own. There’s no word yet if there will be a similar TRU building event here in the States or not for The LEGO Batman Movie.

Thanks to Julian for the heads up.

LEGO Seasonal 2017 Halloween Set First Look

January 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Seasonal 2017 Easter Egg Hunt (40237) has started to show up at LEGO Stores and on the back of the instructions, it shows this year’s LEGO Seasonal Halloween set. From the looks of it, the set shows off a large gate and in the background, there’s presumably a haunted house with an orange sky backdrop. There’s also a cauldron with some food stuff in it. The minifigures include a man and a skeleton. It’s cool to have an early look at the set although we won’t be released until September/October. So far this year, these Seasonal sets have been very promising compared to last year’s sets.

Rumored LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast BrickHeadz

January 17, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we know by now, the LEGO BrickHeadz line was introduced back at San Diego Comic Con last year and they will be officially released in March. LEGO VIP members will get early access to them in February.

There’s no information on what BrickHeadz will be coming out but we can probably guess that Marvel and DC will be part of it since they were released during SDCC. One new rumor that has been floating around Eurobricks is that there will be Disney BrickHeadz more specifically for Beauty and the Beast. Just2Good did an question and answer session yesterday and he did mention that there would be some BrickHeadz for the movie.

This is just a rumor for now but would you pick up the LEGO Disney Beauty and the Beast BrickHeadz sets if they were to become actual sets?

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Mighty Micros: Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073) Review

January 15, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

When the new wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Mighty Micros sets were revealed last year, one of my more anticipated sets was Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073). It has 85 pieces and retails for the usual $9.99. The contents of the box include two un-numbered bags, a box with the cape, two instruction leaflets for each Mighty Micro, and another leaflet for the parts list. On the back of the parts list, there’s an ad for the upcoming winter 2017 wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets which are coming out in March.

LEGO City Cargo Train (60054) Sale on Amazon

January 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you want to expand your LEGO City train layout while picking up an older train set at a pretty decent price, Amazon has the Cargo Train (60052) for $139.99 which is $60.00 (30%) off the normal retail price of $199.99. This is one of the lowest prices this set has been at. Keep in mind that the Cargo Train was released in 2014 so it could be on the brink of retirement soon to make way for newer sets as it reaches it’s third year of shelf life.

Move heavy goods – and animals! – around the city with the super-powerful LEGO® City Cargo Train! This awesome motorized train with 4-channel, 7-speed, infrared remote control can transport almost anything. So it’s your job to make sure the cargo is in the right place at the right time to keep the city running smoothly. Attach the cattle wagon and 2 cargo wagons together and pull them around the circular rail track with the locomotive. Operate the forklift to move the pallets safely between the wagons and truck. Keep track of all the cargo leaving and arriving in the office at the impressive cargo train station. There you can use the sliding overhead crane with hook to move heavy cargo between vehicles or onto the ground. With so many play functions and cool features, this really is the ultimate set for train enthusiasts! Includes 4 minifigures: forklift driver, train driver, farmer and a truck driver.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) Rumored for May the 4th

January 13, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s that time again of the year when rumors of upcoming LEGO direct-to-consumer sets are starting to come in and for May the 4th, I’ve been told from an anonymous source that it will be the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144). I’ve correlated this information with another of my sources and they do match up so it looks like it may be true. There was talk of this set last year but there was no concrete information on it except for a listing on Brickset.

LEGO has released a UCS Snowspeeder before with set 10129 back in 2003 which had 1,455 pieces and retailed for $130 but the info I got today states the new one will go for $199.99, as UCS sets usually go for these days. If this information is correct, that means the rumored UCS Millennium Falcon could be the UCS set for the second half of the year.
