LEGO Marvel Summer 2021 Sets Spotted in the UK

Advertisements

It looks like there’s another excited LEGO Store employee that was a bit too eager to put these sets on display. Brickset member Sean Nualart snapped these photos of the much-talked-about LEGO Marvel Summer 2021 that he spotted on display at an undisclosed LEGO Store in the UK. This summer wave of LEGO Marvel offerings features five sets, collectively referred to under the Infinity Saga subtheme. These are just the sets’ respective box arts understandably, but they’re sufficient to provide us a clear idea of what to expect from them. Let’s just hope that LEGO will make the official reveal anytime soon, or by next week at the very most. In the meantime, let’s take a look at these images.

Black Panther Dragon Flyer (76186)

202 pieces | £17.99 | Minifigures include Black Panther, Shuri, Chitauri

 

Captain America and Hydra Face-Off (76189)

49 pieces | £8.99 | Minifigures include Captain America, Hydra Agent

 

Iron Man: Iron Monger Mayhem (76190)

479 pieces | £34.99 | Minifigures include Iron Man, Pepper Potts, Obadiah Stane

 

Infinity Gauntlet (76191)

590 pieces | £59.99

 

Avengers Endgame Final Battle (76192)

527 pieces | £79.99 | Minifigures include Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Thanos, Chitauri

 

I’ll bet my bricks that the Infinity Gauntlet (76191) will be on top of most AFOLs’ checklist of LEGO Marvel sets this summer. It may not be strictly a wearable type of build (though I wish LEGO gave us that kind of option), but still, it’s a great display set alongside the Iron Man Helmet (76165). And speaking of Iron Man, this brick version of the Iron Monger is really spot on, coming in on a minifigure scale. I love what LEGO did here, with the set’s details and form. It looks like LEGO is getting better and better at designing mech-inspired sets, in my opinion.

As of this posting, these LEGO Marvel Summer 2021 sets are still yet to appear over at LEGO Shop@Home. But given that these sets are all probably waiting in storerooms of LEGO Stores (plus the facts that some employees are already too excited to put them on shelves), then it is most likely that we will get an official listing on LEGO’s shopping portal anytime soon. Special thanks also to Brickset for sharing these images.

LEGO Gives Another Hint About a New LEGO Stranger Things Set

Advertisements

After releasing a cryptic, brick version of one of the clips in the Season 4 trailer of Netflix’s Stranger Things, LEGO seems to bring us closer to the possibility of seeing a new LEGO Stranger Things set anytime soon. LEGO seems to build up the hype when it responded to a LEGO fan’s comment over the latter’s tweet last weekend.

Of course, this could mean a ton but given that the context of the comment at that time was all about the likelihood of having new LEGO Stranger Things set or sets soon, then we can somehow have a level of confidence that this is something of a remote possibility in the next few weeks.

I’m not saying that this is in a way, a form of official confirmation since this is still part of LEGO’s marketing strategy to build up the hype. For all we know, it could just be a simple confirmation of the partnership between LEGO and Netflix, considering their 2019 collaboration on the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) set which is also believed to be scheduled for retirement this year. It may be a way of supporting the series’ 4th season run. But this response from the LEGO Group’s social media handler seems to give more weight to the possibility of related future sets being on their way.

Are we to see more LEGO Stranger Things sets for this year? LEGO seems to say “yes”. 🙂

The LEGO fan community (aka that sector where the leaky faucet reigns supreme) seems to be relatively quiet, suggesting that whatever is on our way, it is still a closely guarded secret as formidable as that of the Hawkins National Laboratory. Whatever happens, I guess I will take LEGO’s word for it, and we ought to keep our eyes and radars open for any info that will point us in the direction of these possible future sets.

So what do you think about this latest hint from LEGO? Any guesses on what’s in store? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

LEGO Teases New Licensed Sets Slated To Be Revealed Soon

Advertisements

In case you missed it, LEGO released a couple of teasers over the weekend that hints at two upcoming LEGO sets based on existing licensed titles. Shared over its official Twitter page, these new LEGO licensed sets will most likely cater to adult fans of LEGO and will build on what its predecessors have offered before.

Both released in 2019, the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) and LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) are some of LEGO’s licensed sets that have the more serious LEGO collector in mind. The former is a form of collaboration with Netflix particularly in promoting one of its hit series Stranger Things, while the latter is a celebration of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. TV series, one of the most popular sitcoms of our time.

The popular LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) released in 2019 will eventually be followed by another similar set.
And likewise, the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) will be followed by another mystery set that is a tie-in to the upcoming Season 4 of the Netflix franchise.

And after two years since their launch, LEGO’s recent tweets came in as a welcome surprise that hints at the continuity of these themes. Check out these LEGO teasers below.

These teasers don’t say much about the kind of sets that we can expect from LEGO coming from these themes. The LEGO Stranger Things post is simply a brick/minifigure version of a clip from the series Season 4 trailer as you can see below.

Image credit: Netflix

The LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S. post is a reference to the gang set on a minifigure vignette of what seems to be their apartment. Well, to be frank, a quick search for #legoleaks will give you an idea about what to expect from this upcoming set. And from the get-go of this LEGO teaser, we can assume that the Central Perk set will be joined by another similar set highlighting their living quarters, and is a pretty large set for that matter.

We do not have an official reveal date for these but knowing how LEGO markets its new sets or these new licensed sets, in particular, we can surely expect an official reveal anytime soon. So what do you think the next LEGO Stranger Things is all about, and will this next LEGO F.R.I.E.N.D.S. set be on your LEGO must-have list? Let me know in the comments below.

The Clone Force 99’s brick-built Attack Shuttle features adjustable wings, spring-loaded shooters, and a functional cockpit. But what most LEGO Star Wars fans will be thrilled about is the collection of five minifigures that made up the lead characters of the show. The best part? The LEGO Star Wars The Bad Batch Attack Shuttle (75314) is now up for pre-order retailing for $99.99, and will be available for all starting August 1, 2021. Read on for the set’s complete product details, and you may want to click on the following affiliate link if you wish to pre-order this set.

A LEGO Star Wars: The Bad Batch Set Is About to Be Revealed Any Time Soon

Advertisements

The first episode of the Disney+ series, The Bad Batch has already streamed and the reviews are all over the top with the show receiving an average score of 96% over at Rotten Tomatoes, and 9.2 at IMDB. Needless to say, it looks like a very good start for Disney, and for LEGO as well since rumors have it that a LEGO Star Wars: The Bad Batch set is most likely on its way.

German online LEGO retailer JB Spielwaren shared via Instagram an upcoming promotional that may saw the reveal of the said tie-in. Now to be fair, the said Instagram post did not mention a specific LEGO set to be revealed. But another related incident has shown a strong possibility of such kind of a LEGO set reveal. An advertisement released by the German LEGO online store has inadvertently unveiled the LEGO Star Wars Bad Batch Shuttle (75314) set. The image quality itself is not ideal but enough to give us an idea of what to expect from this new tie-in set.

The German advert shows us the Bad Batch Shuttle (75314) design features, including two speeders and a collection of unique and colorful designs of the elite team’s minifigure counterparts: Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and Echo.

There is no other information regarding this set except for the possibility that it will be around the 99.99 Euro price point. And since JB Spielwaren is about to make a reveal anytime soon, we might have an opportunity of knowing more about this set in the next couple of days.

The Star Wars: The Bad Batch is a direct sequel to the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series and follows the story of the Clone Force 99 – an elite team of clone troopers with genetic mutations that enable them to take on daring mercenary missions. The show is currently streaming over at Disney+ with new episodes being released on a weekly schedule.

Special thanks to Brick Fanatics for the additional info.

Will the Mandalorian Return With These Rumored 2021 LEGO Star Wars Sets?

Advertisements

Just when you thought that the Mandalorian has retreated from the LEGO spotlight (with a few LEGO Star Wars sets under his belt), it looks like the news on brick street points to the possibility of his return just in time for the holidays. An insider report shared by our colleagues from Promobricks points to the possibility (aka rumors) of seeing the lone warrior from Mandalore returning as part of this year’s LEGO Advent Calendar (75307) set. Additionally, another LEGO Star Wars set dedicated to one of the most enigmatic characters in the series will be included in the rumored LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Forge (75319).

According to the report, the LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75307) will center on the world of The Mandalorian and will feature not just the holiday versions of the Mandalorian and the Child (Grogu), but also a selection of characters including a Stormtrooper, a Scout Trooper, a Tusken Raider, and the iconic droid bounty hunter IG-11. Some of the vehicles that we saw from the Disney+ series will also be given the LEGO microscaled treatment in this set, particularly the Mandalorian’s Razor Crest, Cobb Vanths Speeder, a TIE Fighter, an X-Wing, a blue Landspeeder, an Imperial Troop Transport, and Moff Gideon’s cruiser to name some.

On the other hand, the LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian Forge (75319) will feature the mysterious Armorer, the spiritual leader, and repairer of the Beskar-tempered Mandalorian armor. The Mandalorian Forge will also include the Mandalorian himself, and heavy weapons specialist Paz Vizsla.

Both sets are said to be scheduled for release sometime in September just in time for the holiday shopping rush. Check out the rest of their details below.

LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75307)

335 pieces | 2999 Euro | Minifigures include the Mandalorian, Grogu, Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper, Tusken Raider, and IG-11 | Release date: September 2021

IG-11 is ready to nurse and protect in this year’s rumored LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar.
LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian Forge (75319)

258 pieces | 29.99 Euro | Minifigures include the Mandalorian, the Armorer, and Paz Vizsla | Release date: September 2021

The mysterious Armorer is rumored to have her own minifigure version in the LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian Forge set.

Just to reiterate that these are considered rumors until such time that LEGO makes an official reveal. So as a piece of friendly advice, consider this info for what they are, and let’s keep our radars open for more news coming from the rumor mill.
