LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One Set Numbers

February 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Continuing with the LEGO Star Wars news for today, this post pertains to the upcoming Rogue One sets that will be coming out later this year. The Rogue One subtheme was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last week and there’s been much talk about it the past week or so, mainly if the Slave I shown in the image would be one of the sets along with Boba Fett.

There are now some new box outline images from a retailer catalog which I won’t be posting but they do give some detail in to the Rogue One sets. There are five sets based on the movie with set numbers:

75152
75153
75154
75155
75156

There are also three Buildable Figures based on the Rogue One movie with set numbers:

75119
75120
75121

Note that the background image does show a TIE Fighter flying in the back. Whether or not it will be a set or not remains to be seen. Obviously, there are no info yet on the prices, piece count, etc. but we should be getting more details later this summer. It’s been reported earlier that the sets will be released this October.

Inspired by the Ghostbusters Firehouse, Bricks goes all retro, looking at an era that has influenced some of the finest franchises and sets to date. So flick back your mullets, plump your shoulder pads and enjoy celebrating a decadent decade.

It was a generation that tasted cable television, fed on Hollywood blockbusters and consumed merchandising like no other. Collectable culture was born, every show came with its own toy line leading to a mass production that oozed originality and new levels of creativity. LEGO upped the anti as new exciting themes hit our shelves. It was here that we were introduced to the likes of Classic Space, Pirates and Castle collections, to name but a few… it was no longer just about the city.

The issue starts with a thorough examination of the long-awaited Ghostbusters Firehouse set before blasting back through the decade. Michael LeCount chooses his ten best sets of the ’80s, David Alexander Smith shows us his Neo-Classic Space dinosaurs while Orion Pax recreates iconic toys with LEGO. The likes of Optimus Prime, Castle Grayskull and Inspector Gadget are all brought to life through the brick.

January 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The 2016 Nuremberg Toy Fair is still going on and PromoBricks is still giving out tidbids about some of the summer sets we should be expecting. You may have noticed that there were no photography for the upcoming Star Wars sets. There are reports saying that LEGO wants to keep a couple of the sets under wraps because it involves a new LEGO Star Wars property for later this year. However, there are some details of the 2016 Advent Calendar (75146). If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest STOP reading now.

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223) Building Instructions

January 27, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, a new image of the LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223) showed up online and now the instructions are also available if you want to build your own. Keep in mind that the 8×8 radar trans-clear radar dish (6093714) is a brand new piece so you may have to substitute something else in the meantime. You might also want to download the PDF while it is still available as I assume that LEGO didn’t want the instructions to be released this early in the year. This set will most likely be available during the holiday season as one of the LEGO promotions.

January 24, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We’ve just gotten over the holiday season but Brickset has already posted an image of this year’s exclusive LEGO Seasonal set. The 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223) features Santa and Christmas tree in a container with a little house build below it sort of like a snowglobe. This looks to be one of the coolest looking Seasonal set so far. It’ll most likely be available either in October or November when the holiday promotions start. Thanks to BB8fan for the email.
