New Rumors of LEGO Scooby-Doo Theme Coming in 2015

November 18, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Late last night, we reported on a new rumored “spooky” retro theme that would be potentially coming out in 2015. One of the guesses that people thought of was Scooby-Doo. What we know so far is that Character Building had the license to produce figures based on the TV show but it may have expired or will be expiring and LEGO picked it up much like what happened with Doctor Who.

There has now been an update and it looks like there will indeed be a LEGO Scooby-Doo theme next year. According to the comments over on Hoth Bricks, a user by the name of Miniworld knows someone who has seen some of the Scooby-Doo sets at a showroom in France and was able to give some descriptions.

First, they are scheduled for release around May/June 2015. There will be four sets in total including the famous Mystery Van which has minifigures of Fred, Shaggy, and Scooby-Doo. The next set is a Haunted House that includes Shaggy, Scooby, Daphne, and Velma. There were also two other sets but there aren’t any descriptions. However, they mention that there was a Swamp Monster in one of these sets.

This new report collaborates what Iso3200 said a few days ago over on the Brickset Forums. Also, note that Warner Bros. will be releasing a new TV show called Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! and will be shown on Cartoon Network, which both companies are also partners of The LEGO Group, so these sets could be based on that.

LEGO BTTF Jules Verne Train Instructions by Team BTTF

November 18, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, the BTTF – Jules Verne Train by Team BTTF achieved 10,000 supporters on then LEGO Ideas. Unfortunately, it wasn’t chosen as one of the projects that would be official sets in the First 2014 LEGO Review. For those who really wanted this to be a real set, there’s some good news.

Today, Team BTTF announced that they have provided the instructions for free in LXF format. You can easily import the instructions to LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) to build your own version of Jules Verne Train.

There are two different versions of the train: the regular locomotive version and the one with the motor included. Check out the video below to see the Jules Verne Train in action.

Rumored 2015 LEGO Sets Including Brand New Theme?

November 18, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s some interesting news coming out of the Brickset Forums yesterday. A user by the name of iso3200 who first talked about the upcoming LEGO Creator Detective’s Office (10246) modular building back in June is back with more rumors for 2015.

First up is a follow-up set to the LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer (10244) which would be a Ferris Wheel type set. This set could be added next to the Fairground Mixer to create a carnival type setting. They also speculate that it could easily attach a motor to it much like the Mixer.

The second rumor for 2015 is a brand new theme. Iso3200 states that it will “be loosely a follow-up/replacement/similar to Monster Fighters.” They also says it will have a retro feel and very kid friendly and “not very zombie.”

Some people are speculating that it could be a Ghostbusters theme while others are thinking it could be a Scooby-Doo theme considering that both are retro. I believe Character Building has the licence for Scooby-Doo minifigures and was extended in 2012. I’m not sure if the license has expired yet or will be expiring much like what happened with Doctor Who.

The Ghostbusters reboot movie has been pretty much green-lighted and will probably start filming early next year. Plus LEGO has already released a Ghostbusters set with Ecto-1 (21108) so it might be easier to bring more sets in.

All the rumors above seem fairly vague and I’m guessing they could be released next summer. As with all LEGO rumors, take them with … Continue

LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures (71009) Head Mold Images

November 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We already knew that there will be another wave of the LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures (71009) coming out next year. Chinese LEGO forum Pockyland has posted images of the molding for some of the upcoming minifigures in the wave including Doctor Hibbert, Groundskeeper Willie, and the Simpsons pet greyhound Santa’s Little Helper. There’s not much printing on the molds but we can now tentatively confirm three of the sixteen minifigures in the 2015 LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures line. There’s no word on when they will be released but they’ll probably retail for $3.99 like the previous wave. Thanks to Dan for emailing this in.

The LEGO Movie 2 Will Feature More Female Characters

November 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

BBC is reporting that The LEGO Movie 2 will be featuring more female characters. According to Phil Lord and Christoper Miller during the interview, Miller stated: “I don’t want to give spoilers but there will be more female characters and more female stuff.”

Before we get into the whole gender issue thing again, for me it doesn’t really matter who’s featured more as long as there is a good balance between all the characters and how well the story comes out as a result. LEGO has been under some scrutiny the past couple of years regarding this issue but I feel the company has been handling it pretty well.

There’s not release date announced for The LEGO Movie 2 but it’s possible that it will be on May 25, 2018 since it was pushed back.

LEGO Jurassic World Teaser in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham

November 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After 14 hours of actual time playing LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, I’ve finally finished the story mode for it. During the credits, there was a cool little surprise waiting for you. In the image above, you can see a Tyrannosaurus Rex showing up with the Jurassic Park theme song.

As we know by now, LEGO will be producing official Jurassic World sets next year. We also reported that there’s possibility a Jurassic Park/World video game also coming out next year so the scene in the credits of LEGO Batman 3 could be a teaser of what’s to come.

Stay tuned as we’ll be trying to 100% complete the game in the next few days and bringing you some helpful guides shortly after that.
