LEGO Stop-Motion The Wolverine Trailer

July 23, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in March, we featured Antonio Toscano and his stop-motion video of the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer. Today, his brother, Andrea, messaged me and told me that he had released a new stop-motion LEGO trailer, The Wolverine. Like his other trailers, it is very accurate and to the minute of the original trailer. I’m still amazed on the amount of time and dedication it takes to make a stop-motion video. Check out more of his work on his YouTube channel.

Upcoming LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future Set Submissions

July 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

During the first day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, I got to meet up with Masashi Togami of Team BTTF and we had a nice conversation about many things including some of his upcoming projects on LEGO CUUSOO. Masashi currently has four projects on CUUSOO at the moment including:

Before I met Masashi, I was roaming around the exhibit hall at SDCC and I got an email from him telling me that he’s been hard at work planning and putting together some new sets that he will be unveiling on LEGO CUUSOO in the upcoming months. From August to November, the team will be publishing more Back to the Future based sets to hopefully one day have them made into future LEGO sets as well. Below are the tentative set names as well as a preliminary picture of the new sets.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2013 Survey

July 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you attended the 2013 San Diego Comic Con and went to the LEGO booth any time during the four days it was open to the public, you were probably handed a card which sends you to a survey to voice your opinions on how well the booth was ran. The survey will be used to gauge attendees’ overall experience and to make next year’s Comic Con experience better. I did fill out the survey and voiced my concerns about the whole exclusive minifigure fiasco the first day of the convention. The link is below if you’re interested.

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103) Misspelling

July 21, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Some of the bigger LEGO sites and some people in Europe already have gotten their hands on the latest LEGO CUUSOO set, the Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103). Many have done reviews on it and noticed that the flux capacitor piece has a pretty big spelling error. Someone in quality control forgot about the “I before E, except after C” rule in the bottom sentence “SHEILD EYES FROM LIGHT” instead of “SHIELD EYES FROM LIGHT”. It looks like the the first batches of the set have this error and LEGO has acknowledged it in their Knowledge Base. The DeLorean will be available at LEGO stores and Shop@Home and LEGO is now thinking of options to resolve this issue on the flux capacitor piece.

This probably means the set I picked up that was autographed at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con may also have the spelling error which makes it more of a collector’s item. I will be picking up another set when it becomes available globally to do review and I’ll check if that batch has the error or not.

Information about the Back to the Future set Flux Capacitor misspelling.

It has come to our attention that one of the pieces in the new Back to the Future Time Machine set was printed with a spelling error on it. Text on the Flux Capacitor element reads “SHEILD EYES FROM LIGHT” instead of “SHIELD EYES FROM LIGHT”. We’re sorry for any disappointment caused by the oversight.

The set will launch as

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2013 Extended Gameplay Video

Stan Lee in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game

Arthur Parsons of TT Games did an interview with GameSpot after the Marvel Video Games panel yesterday and showed off a 20 minute gameplay video of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game. If you were following our live report on the game yesterday on Twitter, you would’ve seen that it was announced that Stan Lee would also be a playable character. In the extended gameplay video, you can some some of Stan’s superpowers. Since he is the almighty Stan Lee, he can pretty much have any superhero powers such as Spider-Man’s web slinging. Another of his moves is a flame torch coming from his eyes kind of like a Cyclops/Human Torch combination. It was also mentioned that he has a Mr. Fantastic move as well but it wasn’t shown. In an IGN video, Stan is shown to have an adamantium skeleton. Finally, Stan gets to “Hulk” up and turn into Stan Hulk. The body is exactly the same as the original Hulk character but he has Stan’s white hair instead. The animation of him changing back and forth is awesome. The LEGO Marvel Video Game is now available for pre-order at Walmart which includes the Iron Patriot bonus minifigure in the Gun Mounting System (30168). The game will be shipping on October 22 from them. Below is just a partial list of over 100 playable characters that are in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes:

Spider-man
Thor
Wolverine
Hulk
Human Torch
Mr. Fantastic
Nick Fury
Black Widow
Hawkeye
Captain America
Phil Coulson
Deadpool
Iron Man Mark … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2013 Day 4 Recap

July 21, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today was the final day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con and it went by just like that. Like the past two days, I stood in line for a raffle for the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Exclusive Green Arrow minifigure that would be given out later in the day. The result of that raffle? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. During the time that I was in line, I missed out on the LEGO Legends of Chima panel.

Later in the day, the LEGO booth revealed their latest theme, LEGO Mixels. I have no idea what these are but they are set to be released in March 2014. I did manage to take a few pictures of the sets that were shown: Flain (41500) from the Infernites clan, Seismo (41504) from the Cragsters clan, and Volectro (41508) from the Electroids clan. Judging from the looks of the characters, I think we know who LEGO’s intended audience are.
