Getting Ready for New York Toy Fair 2018 – LEGO Releases Its Official Press Release Ahead of the 2018 New York Toy Fair.

As we prep the stage – or in this, case our blogsite and YouTube channel – for the opening of the 2018 New York Toy Fair, we’re glad that Brick Show Brian is on the floor to give you live updates as they happen at LEGO’s Booth #1335 of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

To kick start the occasion, LEGO has just released an official press statement detailing all the things that we can expect from them at this year’s grandest Toy Fair. As it turns out, based on their press release, it looks like LEGO will not be holding back from its original plan of revealing the summer line-up after all.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed as we wait and see if LEGO will pull the veil off from these exciting sets once the doors of the Javits Convention Center opens:

LEGO Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts
LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
LEGO Powerpuff Girls
LEGO Unikitty
LEGO Creator Mythical Creatures
LEGO Creator Pirate Roller Coaster
LEGO Creator Creative Suitcase
LEGO City Arctic Expedition
LEGO Town, Trains and Great Vehicles
LEGO Friends Friendship House
LEGO Friends Racing
LEGO Ninjago Movie Sets (hopefully, we’ll get a glimpse of the LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks 70657)
LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (sets based on the two new seasons of TV series).
LEGO Elves
LEGO Collectible Minifigures:
– LEGO Batman Movie CMF Series 2 (20 minifigs); LEGO CMF Series 18 (17 minifigs); and a THIRD series that will launch later this year (22 minifigs???)

LEGO Marvel Avengers: Infinity War
LEGO Star Wars (28 new sets, including the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and the rest of Han Solo sets)
LEGO Ideas (news of additional sets will be announced during the NYTF. Again, I’m keeping my fingers crossed to see or even just a catch a glimpse of the long overdue LEGO Ideas Voltron: Defender of the Universe).
LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2
LEGO Duplo Steam Train

This is not an all inclusive list, and we bet that LEGO has more in store during the next four days of the NYTF. So be sure to stay tuned here at the Brick Show for live updates as they happen at this year’s Toy Fair!

LEGO Officially Reveals More Powerpuff Girls Sets in August!

Coming in hot from their reveal of the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212) this Valentine’s, LEGO has dropped another reveal to further sweeten our day. Now before we get too excited about this latest news, we should bear in mind that there is not much of a difference with regards to how these minifigures look like as compared to their first debut as part of the last wave of LEGO Dimensions sets. If you recall, we also featured a video where Brian gave us some interesting details on how the upcoming LEGO Powerpuff Girls will look like, describing in detail these sets’ features and the minifigures included in them. However, earlier today, LEGO has finally broken its months-long silence, and finally gave us its first official confirmation of the girls having their own LEGO theme.

The news was shared via LEGO’s Twitter account, announcing the arrival of LEGO Powerpuff Girls sets in August. These sets are rumored to be the LEGO Powerpuff Girls Bubbles’ Playground Showdown (41287) and Mojo Jojo Strikes (41288). Hopefully, now that we’re just a couple of days away from this weekend’s New York Toy Fair, we’ll get to see how these sets will actually look like, but for now this is what LEGO opted to share.

The LEGO Powerpuff Girls sets will be available beginning August. Set 41287 is said to feature the minifigures of Bubbles, Princess Morbucks, and Octi, while set 41288 will feature everyone’s favorite primate baddie, Mojo Jojo, Blossom, Buttercup, and a brick-built version of the Donny the Unicorn from the new series.

UK LEGO Star Wars Magazine #32 Offers a FREE Imperial Shuttle Pilot Minifigure.

LEGO Star Wars is such a big licensed line in the overall LEGO catalogue that it’s no surprise there are publications focusing on that theme in certain countries around the world. In fact, last month, the UK edition of the LEGO Star Wars magazine had a free Kylo Ren shuttle polybag as part of its promotional.

This month, they’re at it again. The February issue, coming out this Wednesday, February 7, will continue the LEGO Star Wars UK mag’s current streak of little freebie in their every succeeding release, from minifigures to micro-scale model builds. Now the giveaway is an Imperial Shuttle Pilot minifigure.

Said pilot minifigure on LEGO Star Wars #32 is actually quite fitting in terms of freebies. Not only does it come after the polybag for Kylo’s black and wide-wingspan shuttle, the scheduled giveaway for issue 33 on March is the basic “upside-down-Y” Imperial Shuttle, like in Return of the Jedi.

The UK-published LEGO Star Wars magazine is filled month after month with fun articles, features and comic-book stories set in the LEGO Star Wars universe. Their February issue #32 has two “great comic” stories and a couple of insert posters also included.

Note that the Star Wars Rebels series on Disney XD will be resuming this month as well, and the latest film installment, Solo: A Star Wars Story, is premiering in cinemas this May. All of these might explain why recent LEGO Star Wars magazine issues are so freebie-heavy.

LEGO Unikitty Collectible Minifigures (41775) Confirmed at the 2018 Nuremberg Toy Fair.

Earlier last January, we reported that a new LEGO theme will be released this June following the debut of Unikitty’s TV series over at Cartoon Network. This time around, the titular unicorn/slash posh kitten will now have a Collectible Minifigure Series of her own, as announced during this year’s Nuremberg Toy Fair. Thanks to Zusammengebaut, who has been covering the event of Germany’s grandest toy fair, we now have a firsthand account that LEGO has indeed confirmed the availability of the LEGO Unikitty Collectible Minifigure series (41775).

This latest CMF series is slated to arrive sometime in August, and will retail for 3.99 Euros per blind bag. Speaking about the series’ blind bags, Andres of Zusammengebaut further describes that this CMF will be a little hard, if not close to impossible of distinguishing one from each other, given that there are 12 colored variants of Unikitty to collect. It’s like feeling your way through the LEGO DFB series blind bags, with only the hairpieces having some distinguishable marks. There were also rumors that the LEGO Unikitty CMF may also bear a sort of resemblance to the now discontinued LEGO Mixels with regards to being brick-built characters rather than actual minifigures. However, given the ‘blocky’ features of the show’s characters, it is highly possible to see LEGO Unikitty CMF characters be made up of several LEGO pieces – after all, Unikitty herself is made up of 14 LEGO elements. I just hope that beyond the 12 Unikitty variants, LEGO will throw in additional characters from the CN series, since its kind of unusual for LEGO to offer a limited CMF with only 12 characters in it.

One thing that wasn’t mentioned yet from Nuremberg is that as far as Zussemengebaut is concerned, the confirmation of 5 LEGO sets under the Unikitty theme (sets 41451, 41452, 41453, 41454, and 41455), including two Cartoon Network inspired sets earlier reported by Brick Show Brian, is still yet to be heard. As a last note, since the LEGO Unikitty CMF is slated to be released in August, it will be quite a while before we see any official images from this set circulating the internet.

Thanks again to Andres Lehmann of Zusammengebaut for keeping us posted.

Pictures of Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures

This just came through as I was packing up to leave for the day, so I will just post the image.

First Images of the LEGO CMF Series 18 Revealed!

It seems that we’re now getting our first look at the much awaited LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 18. Jason already described at length each of these awesome minifigures, revealing that they are all part of a costume party-themed set commemorating the 40^th anniversary of the iconic LEGO minifig. This time, Serbian toy shop Dexy Co Kids have shared what seems to be our first images of the much hyped CMF Series 18 minifigures, particularly those of Red Suit Brick Guy, Blue Suit Brick Girl, Orange Balloon LEGO fan boy, and Cowboy Suit Guy. As it is, these minifigures perfectly matches those that we described before. Take a look.

Orange Balloon LEGO Fan Boy

I guess it’s a matter of time before we see the rest of these CMF 18 minifigs since April is just a few months away. Please take note that these are not their official names – we just based it on how they look primarily. Lastly, I do hope that the posting of this image from Dexy Co Kids is not just a slip up, otherwise, there will be LEGO minifig heads that will roll (forgive me for this bad attempt at humor).

More Details on the Rumored 2018 LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure Series.

The rumor mill is running again, and this time with more intel on this year’s LEGO Harry Potter sets. A couple of weeks ago, we reported that five LEGO Harry Potter sets (3 for HP and 2 for Fantastic Beasts, to be more accurate) will be released as part of its summer wave of offerings this August. On top of that, it was also said that these sets will be accompanied by an official LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure series, which will also be released during the same time period. Thanks to word from some reliable sources over at Eurobricks, we now have a tentative list of possible Harry Potter characters that made their way as part of LEGO’s next CMF series. Here’s what we know so far.

Harry Potter – accessories include the Sorting Hat and a cape which could probably be the Cloak of Invisibility.
Ron Weasley – accessories include a cape and that Chocolate Frog from the Hogwarts Express scene.
Hermione Granger – accessories include cape, magic wand, and book with printing (perhaps her spell book).
James Potter – accessories include a Golden Snitch, Broom, and Quidditch ceremonial robes.
Lily Potter – accessories include a baby minifigure with a noticeable scar on the forehead, which clearly gives it away as Baby Harry.
Fred Weasley – this is what I’m looking forward to, having the Weasley Twins in their CMF form. Fred is said to have a Marauders Map, and some fireworks accessories.
George Weasley – no information yet about George’s accessories.
Vernon Dursley – all members of the despicable, Dursley family will also be included in the HP CMF. Vernon’s accessories include a rifle or shotgun of some sorts.
Petunia Dursley – accessories include a letter, which could probably mean Harry’s Hogwarts Acceptance Letter.
Dudley Dursley – this minifig version of the youngest Dursley is said to be wearing pajamas with a printed pig’s tail; it also comes with a cake accessory.
Rolanda Hooch – the Quidditch flying instructor also gets her spot as a CMF, coming in with broom and whistle accessories (though I’m not quite sure of the latter). Ms. Hooch also comes with a double-sided minifig head highlighting two distinct expressions.
The Bloody Baron – the first of the ghost quartet that haunt each four houses of Hogwarts, we don’t have any information yet and what accessories they will carry on with them. Perhaps it may include a knife accessory, though I feel this will be a little far off considering the back story of the Bloody Baron and the purpose in which he used his knife for.
Nearly Headless Nick (Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington) – this one is a bit hard to imagine, especially when you consider how LEGO will create Nearly Headless Nick in minifigure form while retaining his primary feature, which as his name suggests, is being nearly headless.
The Grey Lady (Helena Ravenclaw) – perhaps a diadem accessory will be in order.
The Fat Friar – accessories might include a silver or tin mug which he is seen carrying around along the halls of the Hufflepuff house.
Myrtle Warren (Moaning Myrtle) – a ghost character translated in minifigure form, accessories include Tom Riddle’s Diary.
Sirius Black – Harry’s godfather also made it in the CMF list, coming in with a dog accessory which could be Snuffles, his Animagus form.

There are still 3 unnamed minifigs in this rumored Harry Potter CMF series, so we are still keeping an eye for any signs of them. I’m still hoping for Dobby to make it in the list and possibly a re-release of Severus Snape. I guess we just have to wait and see.

Thanks to The Brick Fan for the heads up.

Celebrating 40 Years of LEGO Minifigures.

The year 2018 has a few milestone celebrations across multiple subjects and genres, but here’s one for LEGO enthusiasts that they’ll really dig. It concerns the 40th anniversary of one of the innovations developed by LEGO to further enhance the brick-construction experience: minifigures. Yes, LEGO-people are now four decades old.

Brick Fanatics elaborates that LEGO was making these little guys even before 1978, when the first minifigures (referred to as the pre-minifigure era) began to be included in selected sets. These prototypes were brick-built and too big for most LEGO sets, and the ones produced shortly before that year were armless mini-statues.

Post-1978 however, the shape of those little plastic guys that populated LEGO playsets began to be standard fare: the articulaed legs, 5-piece torso with movable arms and trademark C-shaped hands, and of course the ever smiling minifigure head. They started out as civilians to fill out locations and eventually played various jobs and roles in their brick-built community.

Afterwards, LEGO minifigures evolved from original creations to depictions of fictional characters from the deluge of licensed franchises that the company has made playsets for over the years. And in all those times the shape and mechanics didn’t change, only the material construction, to make them sturdier to wear-and-tear.

Originally targeted only at younger builders, LEGO was quick to notice that the little plastic figures have also become a favorite among older kids and even adults, and starting from 2007 almost every major LEGO set has a minifgure or two. LEGO even came up with a line of Collectible Minifigures, all unique on its own, and wrapped it up in a mysterious blind bag.

8683 17 — LEGO’s first set of Collectible Minifigures.

So there it is: we are now in the 40th year of the long-running design for LEGO minifigures, and you can bet there will be tributes to that milestone in several upcoming sets. One in particular that was revealed so far is the upcoming LEGO CMF Series 18 where a Police Officer minifigure is said to be designed after the same minifig found in LEGO set 600. Definitely, it is one cool throwback for the iconic symbol of the LEGO brand.

Needless to say, this year is going to be a cool celebration of four decades of brick-building fun, and LEGO’s minifigures will always be around to ensure that. So what is your most favorite LEGO minifigure through out these years? Do you have one in particular, and from which set? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Star Wars The Last Jedi DJ Minifigure (40298) Is Now Available at Toys R Us.

Last week, we reported that the next LEGO Star Wars minifigure freebie will be available as a Toys R Us promotional in the US. Based on Benicio Del Toro’s code breaker character in The Last Jedi, the LEGO Star Wars DJ minifigure (40298) is now currently available at all Toys R Us stores in the US as free collectible minifigure that comes with qualifying purchases of any LEGO Star Wars sets worth $30 and above.

Valued at $5.99, the said promotional is available only in-store, which means the LEGO Star Wars DJ minifigure will not appear in your cart upon checkout if you will opt to do your purchase online. The promotional will also have a limited run starting today, January 9, until this Sunday January 13 or until supplies last.

So if you want to add the rogue hacker to your collection of LEGO Star Wars minifigs alongside R3-M2 (40268) and Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) from the previous years, then you better hurry to your nearest Toys R Us store. Thanks to The Brick Fan for the tip.

New on LEGO Friends: Clubhouse Pod (5005236) Featuring Stephanie.

Here’s another update following up from our recent feature on the LEGO Ninjago Sons of Garmadon Zane Pod (5005230). The Ninjago line isn’t the only one getting some character pod love lately, especially in light of the New Year. Another LEGO label with a new pod coming is LEGO Friends.

Humongous play sets aren’t the only thing in store for 2018 with LEGO’s hip girls-oriented product line. They’ve also got some compact goodies in store. Take for instance this upcoming polybag, LEGO Friends Clubhouse Pod (5005236). It’s filled with plenty of props, a LEGO Friends minifigure and even a pet.

Featured in the Clubhouse Pod (5005236) is sporty Stephanie in the characteristic LEGO Friends minifigure type: larger and more detailed. As is her type, our athletic blonde in the circle of Friends is dressed in simple active-wear, with a shirt for their hometown of Heartlake City, plus skirt and shoes.

Stephanie isn’t all alone in her pod (500526) however; she’s also got her pet hamster figure along for the ride. The other half of the pod is stocked with “mission gear” props not just for her, but for all of the LEGO Friends, almost all featuring grips for minifigure handling.

From a GPS pad to binoculars, Stephanie’s Clubhouse Pod (5005236) is a welcome add-on for any of the large LEGO Friends sets that don’t have her among the included minifigures. She and her collection of gadgets simply bring more fun. Since official images of this polybag, along those with LEGO Ninjago have already surfaced, we can fairly say that this new LEGO Friends polybag may be expected to arrive in stores in the next few weeks.
