The story of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings all started in the Bag End where Bilbo Baggins was hired by Thorin and Company to be their guide on their Quest of Erebor. LEGO has depicted that scene in the An Unexpected Gathering (79003) set. The set contains 652 pieces and retails for $69.99, about $0.11/piece. There are four numbered bags, two instruction booklets, and three loose base plates in the box. An Unexpected Gathering was widely released on November 27, 2012.
Brick Envy has acquired the rarest and most expensive LEGO brick in existence and is selling it for a mere $14,449.99. This 2×4 brick is made of 14 caret solid gold and weighs in at 25.65g.

This masterpiece was given to LEGO employees at the Hohenwestedt, Germany factory who had 25 years of employment as well as exclusive business partners of LEGO. Only one or two of these rare pieces were given out from 1979-1981 so only a few exist in the world. Working anywhere for 25 years is a big milestone and LEGO rewarded their employees very nicely for their anniversary.
If you have $14,500 laying around and want to own one of the rarest LEGO bricks ever, head over to Brick Envy and snatch up this beauty.
It’s been 8 years since the last Spider-Man set was released from LEGO for the Spider-Man 2 movie but in 2012, the wait is over. On July 23, the Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) set was introduced. The set retails for $29.99 and consists of 295 pieces which is about $0.10/piece. There are three number bags, one instruction booklet, as well as comic book #5 in the Marvel Super Heroes series. The set is loosely based on the “Me Time” episode on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. One major difference between the set and the show is that Spider-Man was the one who was captured, not Iron Fist.
A couple years ago, a Japanese builder who goes by Talapz, created a LEGO Pop-up Kinkaku-ji, a Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and posted it on YouTube, which has gained over a million views. He is back and has created another pop-up model, the Todai-ji including the Daibutsu (Eastern Great Temple with The Great Buddha). This model took Talapz 9 months to create and used around 8800 pieces. When folded together, it is approximately 96mm thick and about 48mm opened. If you want to create your own, he has also provided instructions at the end on how to make your own popup model.

The official LEGO Legends of Chima minisite has released another teaser picture of the new theme. Hoth Bricks has also reported that there are new images on a dedicated Wiki page for Chima. Meiko on Eurobricks states the new Wiki page is from the same people from the Ninjago Wiki. Also, the Legends of Chima theme will be in the works for a least two years.
The LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Batmobile (30161) is now being sold at Target stores in the stocking stuffer section. The Batmobile was first given out for free in the UK’s Sun Newspaper earlier this year. FBTB reported it earlier today and I’ve happened to find a lot of them next to a bunch of LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 8 polybags. The Batmobile consists of 45 pieces and retails for $3.99 and has no minifigures. The car itself is a pretty nice mini version, much like the size of a Hot Wheels car. A nice little set for the cost of about a cup of coffee.
