Earlier this month here in the US, LEGO released another LEGO Star Wars Original Trilogy set with the Droid Escape Pod (75136). The set contains 197 pieces and retails for $24.99 for a not so good $0.13/piece ratio. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instructions, and a sticker sheet.
LEGO fans have been waiting for a new Cloud City type set for the LEGO Star Wars theme for a very long time and this year we get a set that’s part of the whole scene with the Carbon-Freezing Chamber (75137). This set contains a moderate 231 pieces and retails for $24.99. The contents of the box include two un-numbered bags and the instructions booklet.
A few weeks ago, Brick Generals, formerly known as Brick Bastards started selling a new custom LEGO minifigure named Superhero. If you follow Japanese manga or anime, you would instantly recognize him as Saitama, the protagonist from One Punch Man (ワンパンマン). I never purchase custom minifigures but I knew I had to get it since it’s one of my favorite animes in recent years.
The Superhero is made from 100% LEGO parts including the red boxing gloves as his hands and a white cape. The torso has printing of his yellow jumpsuit while the legs finish off the look. The only thing that I wish it had was red boot printing since he had it in the anime. The head printing is perfect with his rather bland expression but there is some minor smudging on the nose. Otherwise the
The price for the Saitama/Superhero minifigure is SGD 29.90 which ended up to be about $25 with the currency conversion and shipping from Singapore. I think the price isn’t too bad even though there isn’t that much custom printing. Again, you can purchase it from Brick Generals and it took about two weeks from order to delivery.
A few years ago, LEGO released the Sort and Store (5001125) which was shaped like a minifigure head that allows you to shake the head to sort your bricks. This allows you to theorically sort your large, medium, and small bricks into their respective trays.
After about a year on the market, the LEGO Sort and Store was retired and no official LEGO product has had that feature since. Since then a fairly new third-party company called Blokpod has released a new product that has a similar design and use as the Sort and Store. However there are some differences between the two. First is the transparent case. You can actually see your bricks and how they get sorted when you shake it. Another difference is that it is larger and contains four compartments for even more storage capacity.
With Blokpod, you remove the trays by turning them clockwise instead of anticlockwise as the instructions say and vice versa to lock them in place. The plastic is pretty stiff when you first use it but they loosen up once you open it up more. They are modular so you can add more or less to your liking.
Again, the premise of the Blokpod is the same as the old Sort and Store. You pour in your bricks and at the top and give it a good shake. The smallest pieces theoretically are supposed to fall to the bottom while larger pieces are supposed to stay in the higher levels. As you can see, some of the … Continue
Wave 4 of the LEGO Dimensions expansion packs are now available for purchase including the Midway Arcade Gamer Level Pack (71235), the Ghostbusters Fun Pack (71233), the Superman Fun Pack (71236), and the Aquaman Fun Pack (71237). These new packs allow you to play as those respective characters in the game along with using their abilities to solve various puzzles. The new level pack gives you tons more content which also includes letting you play some classic Midway Arcade games.
Furthermore, we also had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with TT Games Associate Producer Mark Warburton about the Midway Arcade Level Pack a few weeks ago. I took some questions from the readers and Mark graciously took the time to answer them which you can read below.
What was your favorite part of the Midway Arcade Level Pack? (Either the design of the toys or the in-game content)
To be honest I think both go hand in hand. The first time you see the LEGO toys and the fact that a handful of bricks can be rebuilt in to three different vehicles is quite an exciting moment. Then when you see the level itself and all these cool nods to the history of video games finally come together, it’s an amazing experience.
What other objects where considered besides the G-6155 Spy Hunter car and Defender cabinet?
All sorts of things are considered and it’s a lot of fun seeing what items those master builders at LEGO can come up with. … Continue

Last year, I reported there would be some official LEGO Halloween costumes coming out later this year by local costume company, Disguise. Although it’s still early in the year, it looks like there was a sneak peek at a couple of the costumes from the New York Toy Fair last month by FamilyGamer TV.
In their video, they showed off a costume of Clay Moorington from LEGO Nexo Knights and Lloyd Garmadon from LEGO Ninjago. The costumes look to be made out of the soft cloth and foam while the masks are plastic with a transparent mesh for the eyes.
There’s no other costumes shown but we now know there will be at least three themes for the costumes including Nexo Knights, Ninjago, and Mixels. The LEGO costumes from Disguise are scheduled to be available at retailers in fall 2016.
Thanks to Jenn for the heads up.
