February 9, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s some new information today on a couple of LEGO Super Heroes polybags that will be coming out this year. For the DC Super Heroes side, we can now confirm that there will indeed be a Batman Classic TV Series – Mr. Freeze (30603) minifigure polybag that’s been much talked about the past few months. There’s still no details of how to obtain it.

For the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes side, there’s a mysterious Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag but again, there’s no further information about it at this point in time.

The information comes from CM4Sci over on Eurobricks which you can follow the respective threads in the links above. More details as they come.

February 8, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There hasn’t been much LEGO t-shirts available lately but Ript Apparel has a very cool LEGO Voltron minifigure shirt available for 24 hours. The shirt starts at $11 and there are other items available with the design as well including hoodies, posters, coasters, and more. Shipping and handling starts at $2.98 here in the US and is planned to ship out this Friday. As a big fan of the original Voltron series back in the 80s, this shirt is a no-brainer purchase for me especially with the new Netflix series coming later this year as well.

As always, you can help support The Brick Fan buy purchasing the Voltron shirt using the links above.

February 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last week, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment released details of the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game. We already know that the main game will be based on the blockbuster hit but there is even more gameplay to it.

Today Game Informer has released details of some of the side missions and events that will be in the game which lets players explore backstories of some of the characters. There are six full optional missions that are unlocked when you collect enough gold bricks.

One of these missions include how C-3PO got this red arm. This part of the story hasn’t been released yet but will be explained in an one-shot Marvel comic in March but we also get to play through it later this year. Another mission that was teased is the events of how the Rathars were captured aboard Han Solo and Chewbacca’s Eravana freighter.

Again, the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game will be available on June 28 on a variety of systems. There is also the Deluxe Edition available for Playstation 4 and XBox One which includes the exclusive 30605 Finn (FN-2187) minifigure polybag as well as the Season Pass for the game.

New LEGO Holiday Train Rumored for 2016

February 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The talk around the LEGO community the past few days is about new LEGO Holiday Christmas Train that is rumored to be coming out later this year. This was first reported by nesquik on Eurobricks and was brought to light by Just2Good. It was mentioned that it is not a re-release of the 2006 Holiday Train (10173) so we don’t have to worry about the same issue that happened last year with the re-release of the Winter Toy Shop (10248). Keep in mind that nesquik has given legit information before in the past so what they are saying could be true. Of course things can change by the time the holiday season rolls around so I wouldn’t put too much into this rumor until some concrete details are uncovered. If a new Holiday Train is actually coming out this winter, would you guys be picking it up?

Update: The new Winter Holiday Train (10254) has been officially announced.

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.

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.

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.
