Here’s Your Chance To Have The Exclusive LEGO DC Comics Superheroes Electro Suit Batman Minifigure

If you recall back in 2012, DK Books released its first version of the LEGO DC Superheroes Visual Dictionary focusing on the LEGO Batman universe. Like any most LEGO-inspired DK book, this particular visual dictionary also comes with a free and exclusive minifigure which gives us an idea on how Batman may look like if ever he is in a Tron movie. In case you missed this exclusive back then, you might be glad to know that after almost 6 years, the LEGO DC Comics Superheroes Electro Suit Batman minifigure is once again available as a new promotional give-away by Media Offers in the UK.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Knightmare Batman Accessory Set (853744) Coming In September

It seems that LEGO still has something in store for DC and Justice League fans. The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Knightmare Batman Accessory Set (853744) has now been listed at shop.LEGO.com, and is scheduled to be available in September. It features another rendition of the Dark Knight based on the scene where Batman had an apocalyptic vision of a world ruled by fear from a raging Superman, as seen from the DCEU film Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. This particular Batman minifigure sports the sand brown trench coat he is seen wearing in that particular scene. Here’s a closer look at the said minifig.

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Knightmare Batman Accessory Set (853744) has 46 pieces, including two Parademons and some pieces to build a turret, and will retail for $12.99. Here’s the official product description for your reference. I reckon that this accessory set will be a hit for Batman minifig collectors once it is made available in September 1. To be honest, I lost count already on how many LEGO Batman minifig variants are out there to the extent that I feel the LEGO DC Super Heroes theme is quite over saturated of it already. But I guess having a LEGO Knightmare Batman minifig can be a forgivable exception.

Another SDCC 2018 LEGO Exclusive Reveal: LEGO DC Black Lightning Minifigure

After the reveal of this year’s first LEGO SDCC exclusive minifigure in the character of Sheriff Deadpool, we now have our second one coming from DC Comics, or more specifically from CW’s rendition of him. Revealed via Twitter, the LEGO DC Black Lightning minifigure features the television version of the retired superhero Jefferson Pierce who has the ability to harness and manipulate electricity at will. This is the first time ever that Black Lightning is in LEGO minifigure form, though he is not the first CW character to be given the honor of having the said LEGO SDCC tribute. Starting 2015, we have the characters of Arsenal, Atom in 2016, and Vixen from last year given the SDCC exclusive LEGO treatment.

LEGO DC Black Lightning

True to form, Black Lightning’s minifigure comes with finely detailed printing against a black background. The level of detail on the head piece is also spot on, with emphasis on his blue goggles that goes very well with the blue and yellow streaks of lightning on his torso.

LEGO DC Black Lightning

This SDCC exclusive, LEGO DC Black Lightning minifigure will be available for convention attendees via a lottery system, on July 20 from 10AM to 12NN, while Sheriff Deadpool will be on Saturday, July 21 also during the same time. This leaves us with the last minifigure reveal coming from the LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. This minifig is slated to be available on the last day of the comic-con, July 22, and will be revealed anytime soon tomorrow or on Saturday.

LEGO Reveals Its First SDCC 2018 Exclusive Minifigure: Sheriff Deadpool

As we count the days before this year’s San Diego Comic Con, LEGO has now revealed its first exclusive LEGO minifigure to grace the occasion. Revealed via Twitter eventually, it looks like LEGO fans can’t have too much of the Merc with the mouth. The Sheriff Deadpool is this year’s SDCC 2018 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes exclusive minifigure, which probably takes its cue from the recent film sequel.

For the record, last year’s SDCC saw another Deadpool-inspired minifigure which is the Deadpool Duck, as part of the marketing hype for the LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 video game at that time. As far as this latest minifig iteration of Deadpool is concerned, everything about it is pretty exclusive. The SDCC 2018 LEGO Sheriff Deadpool minifigure comes with a whole set of different prints as compared to the very rare Deadpool minifig found in 2012’s Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown (6866).  From the head piece down to the leg prints, it is definitely unique with its sheriff garb and other fine details (I love the bull horn accent on the belt buckle), plus it has a couple of accessories included such as a false moustache and a cowboy hat.

As a fan of Deadpool, I definitely have no qualms over this choice of SDCC LEGO minifigure exclusive. If you are not attending this year’s San Diego Comic Con and you still wish to have this minifigure, then be ready to be blown away by the over inflated prices of these little guys in the aftermarket. Their prices can really be exaggerated, and I’m not a particular fan of such practice.

As announced before, this exclusive will be available to SDCC 2018 attendees via a lottery system. We are still waiting for the reveal of the LEGO exclusive DC and LEGO Movie 2 minifigures respectively, which can be anytime this week. Stay tuned!

 

LEGO Seasonal Penguin Girl (5005251) Minifigure Spotted

Though the summer heat wave is still ravaging across the US, here’s a cool, welcome treat of things to come from LEGO. An eBay listing has revealed what looks like to be our next LEGO seasonal minifigure, following the likes of the Banana Guy Summer minifigure (5005250) released three months ago. The LEGO Seasonal Penguin Girl (5005251) minifigure set is our next seasonal minifig which takes its cue from the Penguin Boy of LEGO’s Series 16 CMF released in 2016.

5005251

The LEGO Seasonal Penguin Girl (5005251) comes with a printed cardboard cabin blanketed by snow and other winter motifs. The minifigure itself is similar to the LEGO CMF Series 16 Penguin Boy, except of course for the different face print and a torso that includes a printed scarf. The Penguin Girl (5005251) also comes with a pair of skis in contrast to the ice skates that Penguin Boy has. This is a great opportunity to have another costumed minifigure in your collection while also having an excellent companion to your Penguin Boy minifig.

5005251

We have very little information as of this writing about this next seasonal minifigure, such as its actual retail price and availability. But like other seasonal CMFs before it, our best guess is that it will also be available at LEGO brand stores and other LEGOLAND outlets across the US. Stay tuned for more info. You may also click on the notification bell below for more LEGO news updates, and other cool brick-related tidbits.

A Look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Box Distribution

Here’s a timely update on what we’ve learned so far about this next big CMF craze. Following LEGO’s official reveal of the highly anticipated LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) a couple of weeks ago, there were earlier impressions that these J.K. Rowling inspired characters will be somehow equally represented among 60 blind bags that each box has.

71022

However, according to Brickset guru CapnRex101, this next CMF series will consist of certain rare figures and one chase minifigure per box very much similar to what LEGO did with the LEGO CMF Series 18 with its Classic Police Officer minifig.  Here’s a breakdown of the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) box distribution:

banner 71022 01

Harry Potter:
  • 3 – Harry Potter (Hogwarts Uniform)
  • 3 – Hermione Granger
  • 3 – Ron Weasley
  • 3 – Draco Malfoy
  • 3 – Neville Longbottom
  • 3 – Cho Chang
  • 3 – Dean Thomas
  • 3 – Lord Voldemort
  • 3 – Dobby
  • 3 – Cedric Diggory
  • 3 – Filius Flitwick
  • 3 – Mad-Eye Moody
  • 3 – Albus Dumbledore
  • 2 – Luna Lovegood
  • 2 – Sybil Trelawney
  • 2 – Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:
  • 3 – Newt Scamander
  • 3 – Porpentina Goldstein
  • 3 – Jacob Kowalski
  • 3 – Queenie Goldstein
  • 2 – Credence Barebone
  • 1 – Percival Graves

As you can see from the above list provided by Brickset, the chase minifigure from this series will be the dubious Percival Graves. For a while there I thought that the chase minifigure will be Harry with his Invisibility Cloak. Rumors regarding the inclusion of a chase minifig in this series were circulating around LEGO fan forums for quite some time. Personally, I feel that there are a lot of better candidates to have a chase minifig other than Percival Graves. I guess I will not really understand LEGO’s decision on this one.

71022 22
Percival Graves will be the chase minifigure in the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022).

Looking further on the list, we will also see that the characters of Luna Lovegood, Sybil Trelawney, Harry Potter (with Invisibility Cloak) and Credence Barebone only has 2 minifigures for each them, leaving any LEGO CMF completionist having only 2 complete sets per box – less Percival graves of course. With such limited box distribution, I strongly feel that the cost for one complete set of this CMF series will be considerably higher in the aftermarket as compared to other LEGO CMF series before it. I guess we just have to wait and see.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) are slated to be released in August across LEGO Stores and at shop.LEGO.com.

More LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Images Revealed

Last week, LEGO has finally announced its next collectible minfigures series that highlights some of the most popular characters from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchise. Now this time around, we get our first glimpse of the respective blind bag and set image of the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022).

71022 0

71022 23

This newest LEGO CMF craze consists of 16 LEGO Harry Potter minifigures and 6 LEGO Fantastics Beasts minifigs giving us a total of 22 minifigures to collect. According to Promobricks, the box itself has the usual 60 blind bags with a reported distribution of 3 sets of the LEGO Harry Potter movies, 2 for the LEGO Fantastic Beasts. Doing the math, it means that there are 3 X 16 LEGO HP plus 2 X 6 LEGO FB for a total of 60 minifigures per box. However, this is considered speculative until officially announced by LEGO.

71022 24

Based on the accessories that go with each collectible minifigure, it looks like we’re not going to have a hard time feeling our way through them. The ones that I think will be the easiest to detect are the minifigures of Cedric Diggory (because of the Triwizard Cup, Dobby with his unique head mold, and Lord Voldemort due to his torso and snake figure that goes with him. It is also interesting to note that each blind bag, particularly for those magical characters, contains an extra wand piece. This is a new piece that LEGO introduced with the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets. This latest CMF also introduces the first-ever articulated shorter minifigure legs that previously not available for children minifigs and other shorter characters.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) are slated to be released in August across LEGO Stores and at shop.LEGO.com.

A Look At the Exclusive LEGO DC Super Heroes Lex Luthor (30614) Minifigure Polybag

WB Games and LEGO has already launched its next anticipated video game the LEGO DC Super Villains and it’s no secret, like other LEGO video game titles before it, that this latest video game offering will also come with a free minifigure collectible. The exclusive LEGO DC Super Heroes Lex Luthor (30614) minifigure polybag features an alternate version of Lex Luthor based on DC Comics’ Rebirth where he is seen wearing a Superman-styled armor. Poland-based Ebay seller klocego1 has listed the said exclusive minifigure, and we now have our first look at its respective polybag. This minifig rendition of Lex Luthor is a promotional LEGO polybag that will go together with the game’s Deluxe Version slated to be released on October 16.

30614

If memory serves me right, this is the very first minifigure to feature this kind of print either for Lex Luthor or Superman so this is not just a rehash of some old minifig design. I like the blue and red color combination on this one, with fine details on the front and back side of the minifig and additional leg printing. The flesh tone head piece is the only one I think is refurbished from an existing Lex Luthor minifig, specifically the one found in Lex Luthor Mech Takedown (76097).

30614 01

The LEGO DC Super Villains video game is now available for pre-order via Amazon and will be rolled out across major gaming platforms (Playstation, Xbox, Switch, and PC) on October 16. Other than the exclusive LEGO DC Super Heroes Lex Luthor (30614) minifigure, the physical version of the Deluxe Edition of the game will also include its respective Season Pass and early access to the DC Super Villains: TV Series DLC Character Pack. Those who will opt for the digital version of the Deluxe Edition will have access to the Justice League Dark DLC Character Pack instead.

 

DK’s LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary Exclusive Minifigure Is The Yellow Lantern Batman

It’s the start of a new month, and it’s usually the best time for LEGO to make new revelations on what products they’ve teased earlier in the year. For instance, back in February, they previewed several new books on original LEGO themes and licensed franchises courtesy of Dorling Kindersley (DK). One of the books featured then was the LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary. And like many LEGO books, this one has an exclusive minifigure on the cover and we finally know what it is. DK’s LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary exclusive minifigure is none other than the Yellow Lantern Batman.

As revealed by Amazon France, the exclusive minifigure for the Visual Dictionary is Batman with the power of a Yellow Lantern. This version of the otherwise heroic character appeared in the DC Comics line-wide crossover Forever Evil (issue 4), as a member of the Sinsetro Corps. Batman’s hero schtick may have been to put fear in the hearts of evildoers, but this is too extreme. Of course it doesn’t last.

The LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary from DK Publishing comes out on September 4. This hardcover volume is priced at$21.99 and is also listed on Amazon US for pre-order. One can avail of the Amazon Pre-Order Price Guarantee to ensure that any price changes for the lower when the book is released means only the lowest price will be paid.

LEGO SDCC exclusive minifigures are standard fare during this yearly convention, but what interest me the most is the exclusive 218-piece LEGO Marvel SDCC set, and the still to be revealed LEGO Movie 2 minifigure. I’m also thinking on how LEGO will manage to sell the limited quantities of the uber cool LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set which I’m pretty sure will be sold out in a very, very short time.
