LEGO Winter 2017 Rumored Set List

August 11, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s about that time of the year when we start hearing about next year’s LEGO sets and it looks like CM4Sci and others over on Eurobricks has a list of rumored Winter 2017 sets from a number of LEGO themes. There’s also talks of some of the movies sets next year including The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

A lot of the sets listed do not have set names and if they do, they’re not 100% accurate as they are probably translated. The pricing listed are in Euros. As usual, keep in mind that these are purely rumors until they are confirmed by a approved source such as LEGO’s servers, Amazon, or an online toy shop.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) Review

August 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

From now until August 15 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home, LEGO is giving out the LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) with purchases of $75 or more as part of their main promotion for the month in the US and Canada. The contents of the box include two unnumbered bags, a 2×12 black plate, the instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet.

The 118-piece build is simple as you pretty much stack bricks and plates up. As the bus is a double-decker, both levels are similar with slight differences. The lower level has a lot of windows which uses the 1×2 trans-clear bricks. Not immediately shown on the front is the fairly new 1×2/2×4 angle plate used to attach the black grill pieces and 1×1 trans-clear studs for the headlights. The back left of the bus has an opening for bus entrance and a 1×1 tile for the step. At the very back, there are some 1×1 trans-clear studs for the tail lights. To finish off the lower level, there’s a 1×2 white tile with a sticker for the license plate.

For the upper level of the London Bus, there are more of the 1×2 trans-clear bricks along with some 1×1 trans-clear bricks for the windows. The main feature here are some of the large bus advertisement stickers for the set. On the left side, the sticker features the Union Jack flag along with the Big Ben (10253) with the words, “NOW’S THE TIME TO VISIT!” On the opposite side of the London Bus, there’s … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2017 Set Rumors

August 5, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The rumor mill is in full swing over on the Eurobricks Marvel topic about an upcoming LEGO 2017 set. Just2Good has “confirmed” that we’ll be getting a set next year featuring Agent Coulson and his car Lola. Other known reporters like amazingbricks and Sir Gareth have chimed in and said the set will also include Iron Man as well as Detroit Steel with the latter being a bigfig. While Detroit Steel isn’t a big name villain, it’s nice to see some variety in characters. Speaking of which, an Agent Coulson minifigure is long overdue along with Lola. From what I’m gathering, this is more of a comic/game based set and not the MCU/Agents of SHIELD version. The price point that was mentioned in the thread was going to be around $30-$50.

There’s isn’t much going on for the LEGO Marvel sets at this time but there is more information slowly coming out every day like the one mentioned above and we already know about the Hulk vs. Red Hulk set. Early indications show that we’re getting more obscure characters and not as many rehashes of existing characters which is nice. So what do you guys think of this rumored set with an interesting combination of characters? Personally, I can’t wait to see it but it looks like it’ll be a fun little set.

Update: It may seem that Detroit Steel might be a brick-built figure similar to the Hulkbuster.

LEGO Star Wars, City, Friends 2016 Advent Calendar Official Images

July 31, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve been waiting for a while to post about this but now is a good time as ever to post them since some readers do need a heads up in case they miss it later on. There are now official images of the three LEGO 2016 Advent Calendars from Amazon France and I’ll upload the descriptions when they’re available. As for the release date, if LEGO follows the same trend from previous years, they will be available on September 1. There will be spoilers below so if you’re looking forward to opening the advent calendars, I would advise you not to click the spoiler tags or read any further.

LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar (75146)

[su_spoiler title=”Spoilers” open=”no” style=”default” icon=”plus” anchor=”” class=””]The most popular advent calendar is probably the LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar (75146) which contains 282 pieces and retails for $39.99. The offerings are from various scenes from Hoth, Naboo, and Tatooine and they seem to be decent but not great although there are some very nice builds. Most notably is the absence of a Santa-type minifigure although we have a white Chewbacca with a festive bandolier.

If you want to purchase the set, I highly suggest picking it up when it first comes out. I’ve been noticing people waiting on it and they eventually sell out and complain they didn’t get one. The Star Wars Advent Calendars have a very short shelf life and probably only has a few production runs so there is a very limited supply.
