LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Vehicles

September 30, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

During TT Game’s Director Arthur Parson’s interview with IGN, he has given some details of the vehicles from the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game.

X-Jet

The X-Men’s primary source of conventional travel, obtained by Professor X from S.H.I.E.L.D. the X-Jet is unrivalled, being able to cloak at the switch of a button, enabling it to sneak up on anyone. Definitely the vehicle to use when traversing distance and wanting to arrive unannounced!

Deadpool Scooter

The Merc with a mouth has a slick new motor-bike to get around town. A wolf in sheep’s clothing, this deceptive machine has more power than Luke Cage. Plus it makes an awesome ‘weeeeeeeee’ noise when it moves too!

Spider Copter

S.H.I.E.L.D. are not the only people with gadgets and gizmos. The Spider Copter was designed for Spider-Man by Nick Fury to enable the webbed wonder to get from A to B swiftly, and should he encounter problems en route, the agile copter has quick-fire flick rockets.

Pumpkin Chopper

Usually Green Goblin is seen blasting around New York on his glider, however for longer journeys he chooses the comfort and luxury afforded him by the Pumpkin Chopper. While comfortable though, the Pumpkin Chopper is extremely nimble and has powerful rapid fire missiles.

Magneto Mobile

When driving the Magneto Mobile, nobody will tell you what to do. A car well ahead of its time, inspired by the 1978 Menace of Magneto, this car needs no gas so it is environmentally friendly. The car can cruise the streets of New York without even

Official LEGO DC Universe Batgirl Minifigure Leaked?

September 29, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A user by the name of votvik on BrickLink has posted an image of what appears to be The New 52 Batgirl from DC Comics and is asking what price to sell it for. Comparing it to the #1 issue of The New 52 Batgirl comic, the minifigure in question sure looks like her from the torso to her red hair.

Also note that the user is from the Czech Republic where LEGO has one of their largest factories. Could this mean that the minifigure is a leak from one of the 2014 LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes sets? Looking back at our set list for the 2014 DC releases, it could be in the The Joker Steam Roller (76013) set since there was an unidentified minifigure. What do you guys think?

Back in July, we posted that there will be a new LEGO Maersk Ship (10241) that will be released in the near future. There was speculation on what kind of ship it will be. I predicted it would probably be the new Triple E cargo vessel and today at LEGO Fan Weekend 2013 in Skærbæk, Denmark, it was announced that the new Maersk ship will indeed be the Triple E. Initial details are there will be 1,518 pieces and will cost $149.99/€129.99.

Official LEGO Marvel Variant Comic Book Covers

September 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With only a few weeks left until the release of the highly anticipated LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game, Marvel has released images of the majority of the LEGO Marvel variant comic book covers that have already been released as well as for ones that will coming out in the near future. Marvel artist Leonel Castellani illustrated the covers which pay homage to classic Marvel covers and are used to promote the upcoming LEGO Marvel game. The regular LEGO variant covers will have a 1:25 distribution while the sketch variants will have a 1:100 distribution ratio and thus carry a higher premium. Check around your local comic book stores to see if they carry any of these variations. If your stores don’t carry them, many online comic book stores such as Midtown Comics should have them in stock as they hit store shelves. Note that the official covers for Hawkeye #15 and Indestructible Hulk #14 are still not available at this time. We’ll update this post when we get those images.

Brick Owl Hit With Cease and Desist Letter From BrickLink

September 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in the early part of June, BrickLink was sold to the founder of Korean game company Nexon, Jung-Ju Kim. At the end of the same month, Brick Owl officially opened as another LEGO trading platform. Since the announcement, there hasn’t been any concrete updates for the upcoming BrickLink 2.0. Yesterday, Brick Owl announced that they have received a Cease and Desist letter from BrickLink and were demanded to immediately cease providing their services altogether. This includes using BrickLink’s unique numbering and naming systems as well as the sync feature which extracts data from BrickLink to display on Brick Owl. To me, this pretty much sounds like BrickLink is claiming the exclusive rights to all their data including the naming and numbering system and wants Brick Owl to shut down completely.

However, to counter the C&D letter, Brick Owl will be implementing some changes to their site which includes, removing BrickLink names and numbers from the site. The BrickLink Sync feature also will be disabled on September 28th.

There have been many discussions on whether BrickLink’s catalog was free to use without restrictions but it looks like a corporate giant is putting their proverbial foot down on competitors even though they encouraged competition as they stated on their TOS changes. Keep up with all the happenings over on Brick Owl here.
