LEGO Star Wars Rebels TRU Micro Ghost Instructions

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today was the LEGO Star Wars Rebels building event at Toys R Us stores. If you were lucky to be there early, you got a chance to build a Micro Ghost ship from the animated TV series and take it home. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the event but fellow SandLUG member Charlie did and he was kind enough to send us the instructions for the build. You can either download the PDF copy here or check out the images below to build your own. Thanks Charlie!

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brickset is reporting there will be a new LEGO Brand Retail Store model (40145) that will be given away for new stores that are opening next year. The current set (3300003) has been given away at grand opening events since 2012 and it looks like it’s time for a little change.

The new set has a more modernized look and it opens up to reveal the store inside which shows the Pick-A-Brick Wall, the display cases, and a cashier. The outside of the building shows Brickley to the left of the door. Check out the image below to see the details of the new LEGO Store set (40145).

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron Set Details

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After a couple of days of fairly quiet news in LEGO world, Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has stirred up the pot with information about the 2015 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. He has detailed some of the minifigures and prices for next year’s lineup for the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets that will be released next summer. Sir von Lego has given credible information before so I do believe the info is trustworthy.

Avengers “Iron Man” (76029) – 14.99 EUR
Avengers Offroader, with Thor (76030) – 19.99 EUR
Avengers Hulk, Scarlet Witch (76031) – 34.99 EUR
Avengers Space Ship, Captain America (76032) – 79.99 EUR
Avengers Tower (76038) – 69.99 EUR
Avengers Fortress (76041) – 59.99 EUR

From the list above, it looks like we’re finally getting an Avengers Tower that everybody has been asking for and from the price listed, it’ll be a fairly large one with some playability features. Of course, those aren’t the final set names but at least there are some details of who will be included in the sets.

On an related/unrelated note, I’ve received word from a source that we will also be seeing another Avengers set that nobody has noted yet, the Avengers Helicarrier. It will be a UCS type set with the price point around $300 and will be available next summer. I’m going to take this information as a rumor for now but it’ll be cool for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes to finally see a UCS set considering that we got one for LEGO … Continue

LEGO Custom Recovery/Solar Suit Superman Minifigure Review

October 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Recently, we received a package from Marc Bui, aka Power Brick, of a custom LEGO minifigure that he has created. The minifig is of Superman in his black Recovery Suit and if you saw our report from NYCC today on the new playable characters for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, you’ll notice the minifigure is based on the Solar Suit Superman. If you’re not familiar with this version of Superman, it was seen in the The Death and Return of Superman story arc where he uses this suit to absorb solar energy to help himself heal and recovery strength.

The minifig has very nice pad printing and comes with both front and back torso printing. The silver “S” symbol is prominently displayed across the chest with ab printing as well. The only little thing that’s “off” is the color for the neck area which is a darker shade of flesh than the head but it’s not a huge problem since sometimes the official LEGO minfigures also has this issue. The feet also has some silver printing on it. The head and hair wasn’t included so I used the ones from the Superman minifigure in the Man of Steel sets. Overall, it’s a nice variant to add to my collection and I want to thank Marc for sending it.

He is selling the Recovery/Solar Suit Superman in his eBay store as well as on BrickLink, with or without the head and hair pieces. The hair that he provides is the swept back tousled hairpiece. Check … Continue

– When scanning a poster, the Minifigures will come to life and animate in fun poses for tons of different photo opportunities. Pause the animation at any time to compose the perfect photo!
– The app will be updated frequently, so be sure to check back often to see if new Minifigures have been added…can you snap them all? Who will you find next?
– Not at a store? No problem! The app also features two Minifigures you can take pictures with without scanning the in-store posters, right in your own home.
