San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 4 Recap

July 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve finally had some time to finish up my daily coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 with the last day of the convention. For Sunday, I didn’t try to get any of the exclusive LEGO sets since I already got all three of them the previous days so I pretty much roamed around the exhibit hall until the first panel which was the world premiere showing of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom. The movie was pretty good and had a decent plot. As for Trickster, who is also the exclusive minifigure with the movie, he shows up right at the beginning. That’s all I’ll say about that. At the end, there was also a very brief panel moderated by Greg Miller and consisting of Troy Baker, Josh Keaton, Khary Payton, Brandon Vietti, Rick Morales, and Jim Krieg.

After that, I headed off to the next panel which was the LEGO Ninjago one and apparently there are a lot of Ninjago fans because there was a huge line for it. I’ve did a recap of that panel and yes, there will be another season coming with hints of there being pirates included.

For the last panel of the day, it was the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes one which gave attendees an inside look at the development process of some of the recent LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets, animated content, and the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game. The panel consisted of Marcos Bessa, Adam Corbally, Jason Cosleer, Cort … Continue

LEGO City & LEGO Ninjago 2016 Set Rumors

July 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The summer 2015 wave of sets are scheduled to be released soon and that means rumors are starting to pop up about 2016 sets. The first of these rumors is for the 2016 LEGO City sets. A few days ago, legomilk over on Eurobricks has talked about some of the LEGO City stuff including some Fire sets, one of which is a large Fire Station that will go for around €109,99. Other City sets that were mentioned are some small police sets, cars and garage, cleaning sets, and rescue sets. I’m assuming that the rescue sets will be related to the fire station.

Some other rumors for 2016 are for the LEGO Ninjago sets. Again, legomilk give some small details about next year’s wave of Ninjago sets noting that they will be back but with 5 sets. This might not seem like a lot but keep in mind that we’ve gotten a lot of sets this year from the Tournament of Elements wave to the recently finished Morro storyline. We’re not sure what will be going on in 2016 but there have been hints that it might involve pirates next year so we’ll see plus there’s the LEGO Ninjago movie coming in 2017 so I don’t see the theme going away anytime soon.

LEGO Minecraft The Snow Hideout (21120) Review

July 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last last week, I received a package from the LEGO CEE team and inside was the summer 2015 wave of the LEGO Minecraft The Snow Hideout (21120) and The Nether Fortress (21122) sent for me to review. Although I haven’t done many reviews of the previous LEGO Minecraft sets, I have some knowledge of Minecraft since I used to play the game a few years ago. This review is for The Snow Hideout (21120) which contains 327 pieces and will retail for $34.99.

San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 1 Recap

July 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been almost a week but I’ve finally had some time to do a recap on the first day of San Diego Comic Con 2015. This recap is mostly about the LEGO-related events and stuff during the first day of the convention. The LEGO booth was at the same place as it has been for the past couple of years. Inside the booth was a play area where attendees could build whatever they want. There was also little builds that were put up on the showcase. One of the main attractions at the booth was the life-size Hulk vs the Hulk Buster piece.

LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188) Listed as Sold Out on Shop@Home

July 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Well it looks like the time is finally here. The iconic LEGO Star Wars Death Star (10188) has finally been listed as “Sold Out” on Shop@Home. The status was changed from “Call to check product availability” just yesterday so it may seem that the set will be finally retiring after 7 long years on the market. You can still pick up the Death Star Amazon at retail price and some LEGO Brand Stores may still have some left. I did hear from a source that the Death Star will be gone by the end of the year and it looks like it may be happening sooner than we think. If you have been holding off on picking it up, I suggest you drop what you’re doing and go get it.

There was a rumor earlier this year that a new Death Star set would be coming out in 2016 to replace the current one. With the news of set 10188 listed as sold out on Shop@Home combined with the rumor, it’s possible that we will actually be seeing a new one next year.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Throne of Ultron Building Instructions

July 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron

On the second full day of San Diego Comic Con 2015, LEGO sold the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron set. Like with the Action Comics #1 Superman set, I’ve opened it up and have provided the building instructions for the set for you readers.

I can confirm there are no exclusive part to the Throne of Ultron set so that’s a sigh of relief for those who are wanting to recreate this set. However there are a few parts that are somewhat rare due to the fact that they have just been recently released this year in sets. For example, the fire pit bowl 6104346 is only in a couple of the newer LEGO Friends and LEGO Elves sets. Other than that, all the other pieces should be readily available on BrickLink if you’re sourcing your parts.

For the minifigures, Ultron is the same one as in The Quinjet City Chase (76032) while the Ultron Sentries are from Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) with their neck brace 6104350 from the The Hulk Buster Smash (76031). If you already have these sets, then you should have no problem putting together the minifigures.

Again, you can head over to my Flickr album to see larger building instruction images or you can download the PDF version to use at your convenience. On pages 28 and 29, I’m not sure why the steps go from 13 to 16 but it’s in order so there aren’t any missing steps.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Action Comics #1 Superman Review

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Exclusive Action Comics #1 Superman

This past Thursday, it was technically the first day of San Diego Comic 2015 and as a tradition, many people got in lines for various things but mainly panels and exclusives. LEGO again this year released a few exclusives for sale at the convention and the first day was for the limited edition LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Action Comics #1 Superman. This was a highly sought after set when it was first announced back in June.

The set recreates Joe Shuster’s 1938 iconic cover which features Superman’s first comic book cover. The LEGO set itself contains 145 pieces and retailed for $40. Some people like to keep the set sealed to preserve its “value” while for me, I opened it, and provided readers with the building instructions since there was many who were interested in building their own.
