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 Ninjago Panel at San Diego Comic Con 2016

July 29, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A lot of you have asked about a recap of the LEGO Ninjago panel at San Diego Comic Con 2016. I did sort of a live tweet during the event but I’ve finally had some time to do a post about it. First the panel did sort of a recap of Season 6: Skybound and they asked fans who Nya should end up with and get got a lot of feedback and went with Jay. They also showed a lot of the early concept images of some of the sets with lots of test builds.

Then they talked about when LEGO Ninjago will be returning to Cartoon Network which was revealed to be on October 29 with the first episode called “Day of the Departed.” Here they showed a two or so minute clip of the episode and it showed the ninjas riding in their respective vehicles and Cole suddenly starts to vanish as he is still a ghost and begins to crash as the screen fades out.

Next up, they teased the next adventure which will be called “The Hands of Time.” They did not elaborate on this so that left us wondering what it’s about.

During the Q&A session, it was stated that The LEGO Ninjago Movie will be talk about more next year so there’s no new info on that. As for next season, it was hinted that there will be more skeletons as well as maybe a new element coming. Also someone asked if we will be seeing Sensei Garmadon again and … Continue

LEGO BIONICLE to be Discontinued at End of 2016

July 29, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

You may or may not have read about it this morning but today marks a sad day in the LEGO community as LEGO has announced that LEGO BIONICLE will be discontinued at the end of 2016 after a two year run.

LEGO BIONICLE was pretty popular when it came back in 2015 and the CCBS community was back in full swing with the revival. There’s no mentioning on why LEGO has decided to end the theme but safe bets are due to lack of sales. LEGO did mention that the final wave of BIONICLE sets will be coming to Europe and North America but will not be released in Asia and the Pacific markets. This usually happens when themes or subthemes are ending such as LEGO Legends of Chima and the LEGO Star Wars Planets sets.

THE CONCLUSION OF “THE JOURNEY TO ONE” MARKS THE END FOR LEGO® BIONICLE® GENERATION 2

Fans, today we have to share the news with you that we have made the tough decision to discontinue LEGO® BIONICLE® at the end of 2016. NETFLIX has just started streaming the final two episodes of “The Journey to One” the ending of which, will put an end to any speculation about the future of LEGO® BIONICLE®.

With the 2015 relaunch of LEGO® BIONICLE®, we set out to revive a childhood favorite of fans worldwide, and bring it to a new group of children who were too young to have known and played with LEGO® BIONICLE® Generation 1. From your wonderful feedback over the last

LEGO Marvel BrickHeadz Iron Man & Captain America (41492)

This year’s exclusive sets at San Diego Comic Con are the new LEGO BrickHeadz which are also coming in 2017. These sets went for $40 each at the con and the only way to be able to get one was to enter a raffle early in the morning to win a voucher to purchase the set later on in the day. The only BrickHeadz set that I was able to obtain is Iron Man & Captain America (41492) which contains 184 pieces.
