Ewok Village (10236) & Sydney Opera House (10234) Available For LEGO Vips on 8/16/13

August 13, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re a LEGO VIP member (you should sign up if you’re not), you will be able to get the new LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village (10236) as well as the LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House (10234) on Friday, August 16th. They will be available in stores as well as on Shop@Home. You have to be signed in with your LEGO ID to be able to purchase it online.

Unless you really like the LEGO Galaxy Squad Mini Mech (30230), I would suggest waiting a couple more weeks for the official release. That way, you can get the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (40079) as well as the LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant (5001709) polybags for the Ewok Village. For the Sydney Opera House, you’ll only be eligible for the VW Camper Van with your purchase.

Recreate classic scenes at the Ewok Village!

Travel to Endor™ and visit the treetop home of the Ewoks. Just like in Star Wars™: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, this recreation of the Ewoks’ forest dwelling is packed with cool functions, including the tree-trunk hideout, secret Lightsaber stash, spider web, net traps, slide, catapults and an elevating throne. Use the rammer function to take out the Scout Trooper’s speeder − just like in the movie! Realistic details include rope walkways, vine and leaf elements, kitchen, food storage area, bedroom and a planning room. The Ewok Village set is the perfect addition to your LEGO® Star Wars collection. Includes R2-D2™and 16 minifigures with weapons: Luke Skywalker™, Princess Leia™,

LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Achieves 10000 Supporters

August 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO CUUSOO Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary project by BrentWaller has achieved 10000 supporters and will now move on to the Fall 2013 review. The Ghostbusters movie will be celebrating it’s 30th anniversary in 2014 and the project will feature many elements of the movie including Ecto-1 and the main characters of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore as well as Slimer. The image does show the Firehouse but Brent doesn’t think that it will be included in the final product. With this achievement, Brent has become the second CUUSOO creator to have two or more projects to reach 10000 supporters with his Batmobile Tumbler Minifig Scale being the first project. mb_bricks was the first creator to do so. The Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary has been climbing the ranks of supporters the past few weeks and today has finally reached the ultimate goal of 10000 supporters. Congratulations to BrentWaller again for reaching the goal and if everything goes well, we’ll be seeing a Ghostbusters set in the near future and will be joining the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) as an official LEGO CUUSOO movie set.

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, BrentWaller!

This project couldn’t help it … it just popped up there! Congratulations on reaching 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO.

A Few More LEGO Variant Comic Book Covers

August 12, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

PREVIEWSworld has a couple more LEGO variant comic book covers that we haven’t seen before. Like the previous variant covers we’ve seen, they are illustrated by Marvel artist Leonel Castellani. Above shows Wolverine from the new Infinity #3 issue which pays homage to Incredible Hulk #340. Iron Man is seen battling Dr. Doom in the New Avengers #11 variant that is originally from Invincible Iron Man #150. Finally, we see Iron Man in Guardians of Galaxy #7 that is homage to Invincible Iron Man #80. These covers were created to promote the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game that comes out this October.
