LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers Hulk (5003048) Polybag Review

December 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As I mentioned yesterday, the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers Hulk (5003048) polybag promotion is now available at Toys R Us stores. You can get it free with purchases of $30 or more on LEGO sets minus LEGO Dimensions or if you’re lucky, you can get it individually for $4.99 each. It contains 27 pieces and it’s similar to the Rocket Raccoon (5002145) from last year.

Minifigure

The minifigure is based off the Age of Ultron bigfig version of the Hulk from the The Hulk Buster Smash (76031). He does have the same olive green colored skin with purple pants which are dual-molded and goes around the back of the legs. The Hulk also has a double-sided head with angry expressions on both but one has an open mouth. The hair is your simple black one but it could’ve used the spikier one from like the Sleepyhead to match up with the bigfig. Also to note that this is only the second minifigure version of the Hulk with the other being a Shop@Home promo back in 2012.

Build

The other part of the polybag is the small version of the Hydra off-roader from the Hydra Showdown (76030). The main play feature is the hinged part in the middle of the vehicle which allows you to take it apart as if Hulk was breaking it. The handles on each end lets Hulk hold it.

Stickers

Like with Rocket Raccooon, the Hulk polybag also has stickers you can add to the Age of Ultron sets. … Continue

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) – Day 6 Review

December 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We’re a fifth of the way into the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) and we have a new mini-theme.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange Set Coming in 2016?

December 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Did you catch that subtle hint dropped by Just2Good? He did his thoughts video about the upcoming 2016 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets and he dropped a hint about a set involving Doctor Strange coming next year. It could be a set tied in to the Doctor Strange movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch that will be coming out in November 2016 or one that’s based on the comic books but I think it’ll be the former since LEGO tends to release sets based off the movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe even if it’s a one-off set such as the Ant-Man Final Battle (76039). I could be wrong though. Stay tuned as more information is revealed in the upcoming months.

Update: Sir Gareth on Eurobricks has said that the set is tied in to the movie a few months ago. I missed it since I don’t spend that much time on EB as I used to.

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) – Day 1 Review

December 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every year at this time, it’s been a tradition of me doing the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendars. The calendars are pretty special to me as they are one of the first reviews I’ve done on The Brick Fan since getting back into LEGO. This year is no different as I have the new LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097). It consists of 292 pieces and retails for $39.99. It is currently sold out at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. I warned readers to pick it up as soon as possible when it became available in August/September because they tend to sell out by this time.

LEGO Architecture New York City (21028) Review

December 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In 2016, LEGO will be releasing a few more LEGO Architecture sets but with a little change to the format that’s been working for them. For this next wave, a few of the sets will have a skyline format with some recognizable buildings from a particular city.

Some LEGO 2016 City, Creator, and Technic Sets Now Available on Shop@Home

November 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s technically December 1st on the east coast and that means some new LEGO 2016 sets are now available for purchase on Shop@Home. Some of the sets that are available include sets from various LEGO themes such as City, Creator, and Technic. The two Disney Princess Frozen sets are also available today as well. I believe this is the first time that LEGO has officially released sets for the next year a whole month early. If you’re doing some Christmas shopping, this gives you some more options to choose from.

LEGO Target 2015 Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) Review

November 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

About a week ago, Target released the new 2015 LEGO Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) online for purchase individually for $9.99 or you could get it free with certain purchase restrictions but a majority of buyers went with the former route. After a day or two, they seemingly removed it from the website while physical locations don’t even know about it. From what I’m hearing, corporate is pretty upset with it being sold online early or something.

Anyways, people have started receiving their shipments of the box set including me. This is the second box set that Target has released in two years so it could be a trend going forward with them releasing one around this time every year but we’ll see. The packaging is similar with clear windows showing the four minifigures that are included. The design corresponds to the particular theme the minifigure is in which is the same as last year’s themes.
