Get Ready to Swing With These 4 New LEGO Donkey Kong Sets!

In case you missed it, LEGO has officially announced the release of a wave of new LEGO Donkey Kong sets that further expand its highly successful LEGO Super Mario theme. Following a teaser from several days ago, LEGO has finally listed four new LEGO Donkey Kong sets slated to arrive on shelves in August. The exciting reveal marks the beginning of a new wave of inspiration from Nintendo franchises.

A Brief History of Donkey Kong

For the younger generation who may be unfamiliar with the iconic video game character, Donkey Kong (DK) was first introduced in 1981. He first debuted as the dotting villain in an arcade game where he is pitted against the pixelized hero Mario. And in 1994, DK saw a revival when gaming developer Rare released Donkey Kong Country. It is a side-scrolling platformer game that boasted pre-rendered 3D graphics that were quite ahead of its time. Aside from the inclusion of Donkey Kong’s flashy red tie, he is now viewed as the hero of the game paving the way for him to become a Nintendo mainstay.

Now, LEGO has introduced another milestone to Donkey Kong and his clan, as they will now receive their official LEGO versions. Let’s take a closer look at what we can expect from these new LEGO Donkey Kong sets before they arrive in August.

The 18+ set LEGO Disney Villain Icons (43227) and the 6+ set LEGO Disney Duos (43226) both offer something unique and exciting for Disney fans and LEGO enthusiasts alike. Let’s check these out.

LEGO Disney Villain Icons (43227)

The LEGO Disney Villain Icons sets focus on some of the most iconic villains from classic Disney films. And for Disney LEGO fans, this set offers an opportunity to collect the first LEGO minifigure versions of these memorable characters We have never-before-seen minifigure renditions of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, the Evil Queen in her disguised form from Snow White, and our first-ever minifig version of Jafar Genie from Aladdin. There’s also a newer version of Maleficent as seen in Sleeping Beauty.

The set also features a bunch of Disney memorabilia that is easily recognizable for avid Disney fans. We have a brick-built version of the poisoned apple from Snow White, and several storybooks that bear the title of the other films mentioned. It’s also nice that the typical LEGO humor is also seen in this set with the addition of a LEGO VHS tape bearing the title of the 1989 classic animated film The Little Mermaid. There’s also a reference to the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland in the likes of an actual brick card. Finally, it also includes Captain Hook’s brick-built pocket watch from the original 1953 film Peter Pan.

While it’s quite a challenge to narrow down all the ideal LEGO Disney Villain to include in this set, I’m personally happy with this selection. This set, villainous as it may seem, adds a nice touch and ties in well with the LEGO Disney theme.

LEGO Disney Duos (43226)

Like its villainous LEGO Disney Villain Icons counterpart, the LEGO Disney Duos set showcases some famous side character companions from various Disney films, from the older classics to newer releases.

More LEGO Donkey Kong Figures and Characters Revealed

LEGO and Nintendo fans can expect more exciting sets as the LEGO Super Mario theme expands. LEGO recently gave us a peek of more LEGO Donkey Kong characters to come, adding to the first set revealed last MAR10 celebrations. As it turns out, more LEGO Donkey Kong sets will arrive this summer, and we can expect to see not just Donkey Kong but also other popular characters from the franchise.

Here’s the sneak peek LEGO shared over social media:

From the get-go, we can see that the following iconic DK characters will be given the LEGO treatment.

More LEGO Donkey Kong Characters To Be Expected

Diddy Kong

more lego donkey kong

Joining Donkey Kong is his loyal sidekick, Diddy Kong. The character has been a fan favorite since its debut in the game Donkey Kong Country in 1994. The LEGO version of Diddy Kong is sure to be a hit among collectors and gamers alike.

Dixie Kong

more lego donkey kong

Another character to join the DK crew is Dixie Kong, who first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest. Dixie Kong is known for her unique abilities, including using her ponytail to float and fly.

Cranky Kong

more lego donkey kong cranky

Cranky Kong, the elder Kong and original Donkey Kong from the 1981 arcade game, is also part of the new LEGO set. In Donkey Kong Country, he serves as the player’s guide and shares his wisdom and humor throughout the game.

Funky Kong

more lego donkey kong funky

Last but not least, Funky Kong, the cool surfer dude and owner of Funky’s Flights, will also be part of the LEGO set. Funky Kong has appeared in several Donkey Kong games and is known for providing transportation to the other characters.

Pricing and Availability

Although no release date has been announced yet, LEGO has teased fans with a brief clip on Twitter featuring the upcoming DK figures. It’s safe to say that fans are eagerly anticipating the release of these figures and cannot wait to add them to their collections.

LEGO’s latest announcement of the Donkey Kong figures is exciting news for both LEGO and Donkey Kong fans. With the addition of Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and Funky, the DK crew is now complete in LEGO form. Though it will be much cooler to see actual minifigures or bigfigs of these beloved characters, I’m still pretty sure that LEGO Nintendo fans will love to add these brick-built characters to their collection. Expect more LEGO Donkey Kong reveals in the next few weeks.

From the Leaking Faucet: LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine (10315) Coming in June!

A purported image of the rumored LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine set has been making rounds online, and it’s creating plenty of buzz among the LEGO fan community. This image, posted by reliable LEGO insider @Falconbricks via Twitter shows a miniaturized version of the iconic arcade machine. While the images are a bit blurry, it shows a classic cabinet arcade with three mini-builds of Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde.

The LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine set is said to be part of the LEGO Icons portfolio and is rumored to clock in at 2,651 pieces with a price tag of $269.99 making it another pricier LEGO set that appeals to adult LEGO fans. It’s unclear whether this brick-built arcade machine will be functional, but with that price point, it is certainly expected to come up with plenty of play features and interactivity.

It is interesting to note that the price point of the LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine is somewhat within the same price range as another brick-built classic, the LEGO Icons Atari 2600 (10306) from last year.  I can just imagine how good it will look to see these classic gaming superstars displayed alongside one another.

LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine Release Date and Availability

This brick-built classic set is expected to be officially released on June 1, 2023. And though LEGO is yet to make an official announcement, we can be sure that an official reveal may happen anytime within the next couple of weeks. We’ll see if LEGO will also offer this as a pre-order deal which the company is fond of doing lately.

LEGO Icons Pac-Man Arcade Machine and Other Video Games Inspired Builds

LEGO has been making sets based on popular video games for a while now. Just last week, they announced a series of LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog sets in collaboration with Sega. And as of to date, LEGO video gamers can also expand their collection with Nintendo-inspired sets such as the highly interactive Super Mario series, and the brick-built Nintendo Entertainment System.

The Pac-Man Arcade Machine set is an exciting addition to Lego’s video game-themed sets. With its impressive piece count and interactive features, it is going to be a sure hit among LEGO and video gaming fans. Stay tuned for more updates as LEGO makes an official announcement about this set anytime soon.

LEGO Friends Beach Adventure Park (41737) Sneak Peek

The LEGO Friends Beach Adventure Park (41737) set was recently revealed by a LEGO Certified Store in Singapore and is slated to release in June. With 1,348 pieces, this set features a range of thrilling rides and attractions that will transport you to a fun-filled summer day at the beach.

Dive into the Details of the LEGO Friends Beach Adventure Park

Based on this image shared via the LEGO Certified Store’s Facebook page, here’s a breakdown of some of the key features that make the LEGO Friends Beach Adventure Park set a must-have for LEGO amusement park enthusiasts:

The Wave Rider – Includes an exciting watercraft, a minidoll, and a small camera for those Instagrammable selfies.

The Fun Bay – Features a spinning ride, a classic amusement park attraction that swings riders through the air aboard several brick-built sea creatures: a dolphin, sea horse, and sea tortoise. It also includes an actual spinning function via a turning mechanism located at the base of the ride.

Refreshment Stand – It’s kind of clever to see how those angled studs, first used in LEGO Collectible Minifigures DC Superheroes 71026, were used here as drinking straws. The stand offers hotdogs, pizzas, and an assortment of drinks for our local Heartlake City residents.

Pirate-Themed Shooting Gallery – There are plenty of prizes up for grabs in this pirate-inspired shooting gallery. It’s also nice to see that LEGO threw in some exclusive elements for the prizes in this portion of the set, such as the trans-green balloon dog (previously an exclusive minifigure accessory to the Party Clown from CMF Series 18), and the tan rabbit stuff toy (first included in large, more expensive sets such as the LEGO Icons Holiday Main Street 10308, LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street 21324, and LEGO Friends Heartlake City Shopping Mall 41450). The rabbit stuff toy element also made its debut as a minifig accessory to the Pyjama Girl from LEGO CMF Series 20.

LEGO Friends Beach Adventure Park Set Minidolls

This set includes four mini-doll figures – Zac, Nova, Charli, and Dia – who are all dressed for a day of fun in the sun.

LEGO.com has not yet listed this latest LEGO Friends summer offering. But we can expect an official reveal anytime soon and a launch date sometime in June. This set is expected to retail for around $100 given its piece count and minidolls included.

Check Out These LEGO Dreamzzz Teaser Videos

LEGO has released a series of videos on their YouTube channel that offers a sneak peek of the upcoming LEGO Dreamzzz theme. These LEGO Dreamzzz teaser videos are creating quite a buzz among the LEGO fan community who are eagerly waiting for the launch of the new sets.

If you recall, the idea of having this new LEGO theme surfaced back in July last year when LEGO registered the LEGO Dreamzzz brand under the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Then last February, we had an idea of the possible characters that will be included in this upcoming theme. Now that the cat is out of the bag, LEGO opted to release a series of LEGO Dreamzzz teaser videos alongside our LEGO Ninjago heroes.

Let’s take a closer look at the different dreams that are teased in this series of videos.

LEGO Dreamzzz Teaser: Kai’s Larger-Than-Life Characters

In Kai’s dream, we get a glimpse of some exciting larger-than-life characters. The bunny, crocodile car, and robot are some of the characters that we see in the teaser. If the rumors turn out to be true, then the robot that is seen in Kai’s dream sequence is the AI robot teacher named Z-Blob. Joining the AI-powered mechatron are Mateo and Izzie.

These fascinating characters could potentially become the next sets in the LEGO Dreamzzz theme. My bet is on that Blue Bunny and Crocodile Car. The possibilities are endless, and we’re just thrilled to see what new and exciting sets will be unveiled soon.

LEGO Dreamzzz Teaser: Nya’s Dream of Mushroom Men and Colorful Deer

Nya’s dream sequence showcases some unique and colorful characters such as mushroom men and vibrant deer. These characters could offer a fresh and creative twist to the LEGO Dreamzzz theme. Fans are excited to see how these characters will be incorporated into the sets.

LEGO Dreamzzz Teaser: Zane’s Flying Bus, Shark Ship, and a Black Horse

Zane’s dream features some exciting action scenes with a flying bus driven by a monkey astronaut, a mechanized shark ship, and a black horse chasing him. These thrilling scenes could inspire some epic LEGO sets that are sure to impress kids and AFOLs alike.

Countdown to the Official Reveal

LEGO Dreamzzz Teaser

If these LEGO Dreamzzz teaser videos weren’t enough to pique your interest, then LEGO.com has a Coming Soon page that also gives another teaser on the day of the grand reveal. You’ll find a countdown timer that currently has 27 days left (as of this posting) until the official reveal of the LEGO Dreamzzz theme. The anticipation is building, and fans can hardly wait to get their hands on these new sets. What is interesting is that there are also elements in this dedicated page that may perhaps give clues to what to expect from the LEGO Dreamzzz theme. As Jay’s Brick Blog pointed out, the page contains a blurred image referred to as “Realm 1” looking at its source code. It also has another reference to Blue Bunny featured in one of the LEGO Dreamzzz teaser videos. It’s interesting to see how all of these clues are connected somehow, and we can only guess until the official reveal is made next month.

The new LEGO Dreamzzz teaser videos have sparked a lot of excitement among LEGO fans. With larger-than-life characters, unique creatures, thrilling action scenes, and exciting vehicles, this theme promises to be a huge hit among LEGO fans. The countdown to the official reveal has begun and be sure to stay tuned for more updates.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 Disney 100 Box Distribution Revealed

As you may already know, LEGO fans have 18 reasons to celebrate Disney’s centennial celebrations this year. Third in the series, the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 Disney 100 was officially revealed last month and is set to arrive on May 1st in celebration of the House of Mouse’s 100th anniversary. With a bumper of 18 different characters, including Pinocchio, Mulan, Baymax, Cruella de Vil, and more, this new series is expected to be a hit with LEGO fans of all ages.

However, if you’re looking to get your hands on a specific minifigure, you’ll need to be strategic. The blind-bagged nature of these collectible minifigures means that you won’t know what you’re getting until you open the package. So, what are your options for getting the characters you want?

Box Distribution for the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 Disney 100

It has been confirmed already that a single box from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 packets should contain two complete sets of 18 minifigures (with 36 blind bags from each box). This means that if you buy a complete box of minifigures, you’re guaranteed to get your hands on the full batch of LEGO Disney 100th anniversary minifigures.

However, if you’re only after a few characters, you may not want to spend the money on a full box. In that case, it’s worth knowing the complete box distribution to increase your chances of finding the characters you want. Fresh boxes typically have a consistent distribution of specific characters, so if you know where your favorites are located, you’ll have a better chance of finding them.

Early reviews of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 Disney 100 such as those from Ashnflash and Jay’s Brick Blog have confirmed the exact box distribution for the new series of blind-bagged characters, and where to find each character based on their particular placement inside their box.

Take a look at the table below.

FRONT OF THE BOX

Complete Box vs. Individual Packets

Buying a complete box of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 isn’t the only way to get your hands on the full set of characters. You could also split the cost with a friend and divide up the two sets between you. However, if you’re only after a handful of characters, buying individual packets may be your best option.

Feeling out the Characters Maybe Your Last Option

One of the ways to get the characters is to feel your way through the individual CMF packets. While this method can be effective, it’s not foolproof. It requires a good sense of touch and can be time-consuming. Plus considering the current post-pandemic situation, feeling your way through each bag is not a safe option as well.

Knowing the box distribution layout for the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 series can help improve your chances of finding your favorite characters. Keep in mind that this layout may not be 100% the same across every box, but it’s a good starting point. It can reduce the amount of time required if you’re fine with feeling each blind bag and improve your chances of finding the minifigures you want. Plus, with the rumored release of the second series of LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures in September, which is expected to switch to new cardboard packaging, knowing where each CMF is placed inside a fresh box may be the only method available to find your favorite characters.

For now, fans can look forward to adding the LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71038 Disney 100 to their collection and displaying them proudly to commemorate Disney’s 100th anniversary.
