LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Sets Have Finally Landed at LEGO.com 

Hot off the trail of the latest LEGO Marvel Ant-Man Construction Figure, LEGO seems to be on a roll in unveiling its latest LEGO Marvel tie-in sets. And this time, we see more sets dedicated to the next MCU film that will hit theaters this spring. Take a look at these new LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 sets that are now listed at LEGO’s online shopping portal.

Without spoiling too much about the film, these 3 new LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy sets offer an exciting glimpse of what we can expect from the film. There seems to be a set that focuses on a chase between the character of Adam Warlock and the Guardians aboard their new ship, “The Bowie.” We also get to see a super adorable new minifigure for Baby Rocket and a powerful, ripped version of a grown-up Groot. What seems to be missing is a LEGO set where the High Evolutionary is included. However, I’m sure this big baddie will make his villainous appearance in LEGO form anytime soon.

For now, read on for these sets’ official product descriptions and take a look at these glorious images. You may also click on the following links if you want these LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 sets added to your wishlist and be notified once they are available on April 1. 2023.

More LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary Sets Revealed

A few hours ago, German retailer JB Spielwaren unveiled a couple of new LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary sets that fans have long awaited. We can now take a closer look at the LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House (43217) and LEGO Disney Celebration Train (43212).

Though these images were removed already by JB Spielwaren (perhaps another retailer slip-up for this matter), internet fan sites were already quick to take notice. These two new LEGO Disney sets are expected to hit store shelves in April and feature several new collectible minifigs that are sure to be instant hits among minifigure collectors.

The LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House is expected to be a hit among LEGO fans since we are now getting an official set from this iconic film. Fans have been recreating this set for years, and I’m happy to see that we’re now getting minifigure versions of Russell and Mr. Carl Fredricksen. We also get to see a minifigure-scaled version of the house and the balloons that made the journey possible.  I hope that LEGO has thrown in twice the number of balloon pieces to make it more realistic and fun to display.

And this next one is another Instagram-worthy candidate. Though labeled as a 4+ set, this is something that will surely catch the attention of any LEGO Disney fan. Because if you missed out on the hugely expensive LEGO Disney Castle (71040) back in 2016, this is your chance to add Tinkerbell to your minifigure collection. The best part is that the LEGO Disney Celebration Train (43212) also includes Peter Pan and redesigned Mickey and Minnie minifigures. Plus, we also have Moana and Woody added to the mix as well. The train features several key moments from their respective films, rendering them into fun and colorful minifigure vignettes.

These LEGO Disney 100th Anniversary sets are not yet listed at LEGO.com, but since retailers are already posting them, we can expect an official reveal any time soon. For now, let’s take a look at these images.

LEGO Disney ‘Up’ House (43217)

ICYMI: LEGO Marvel Ant-Man Construction Figure (76256) Official Set Revealed!

We’re just a couple of days away before MCU’s first Phase Five film hits theatres in the US and worldwide. And just in time before Ant-Man and the Wasp quantumania arrives on the big screen, LEGO revealed perhaps one of the coolest tributes it can offer to our tiny Marvel hero. In case you missed it, LEGO.com has listed its LEGO Marvel Ant-Man Construction Figure (76256) set, scheduled to be released this May.

LEGO Marvel Ant-Man Construction Figure

Following the LEGO Marvel buildable action figure genre re-introduced by LEGO last year, this Ant-Man Construction Figure follows the like of Iron Man (76206)Miles Morales (76225), Spider-Man (76226), and Venom (76230) buildable figures.

What I also love about this latest LEGO Marvel Ant-Man set is that it also includes a micro-figure of Earth’s tiniest Avenger and will easily pass as a pretty cool display set. The set clocks in at 289 pieces and is expected to retail for $30 starting May 1.

Check out the details of this newest LEGO Marvel set below, and while you’re at it, you may also want to add this to your LEGO wishlist using our affiliate link as well.

LEGO Marvel Ant-Man Construction Figure (76256)

The fully articulated Ant-Man Construction Figure also comes with a microfigure of The Wasp, the Super Hero’s companion in the movie, who attaches to Ant-Man’s arm. When they’re not engaged in exciting adventures together, the authentically detailed figures look great on display. For added digital fun, kids can download the LEGO Builder app and step into a new world where they can zoom and rotate models in 3D, save sets and track their building progress.

A Closer Look at the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) Set

After LEGO officially revealed its largest LEGO Icons set of the year, LEGO.com has been updated to include a listing of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) set.

The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316)

10316 alt2

Coming in at an impressive 6,167 pieces, this set comes in three sections giving it a sort of a modular set vibe. And though this might be this year’s most pricey set so far at $500, the attention to detail and the insane amount of minifigures that goes with it make it worth every penny for long-time LEGO LOTR fans.

And fans will surely not be disappointed with all the film references that this set has to offer. Divided into three sections, the first features the Council Ring, where the Fellowship debates on how to best destroy the One Ring. I love how the hotdog and popsicle pieces were cleverly used to build the gang’s chairs, including a generous number of plant pieces that adorned the surroundings.

The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316)

This first section also includes a look at Frodo’s Bedroom, where he rests after being rescued from the Nazgul’s clutches. If you look closely, the designers of this set managed to have this minifigure version of Frodo sit on the bed despite his shorter legs, using a couple of headlight pieces. Plus a reference to Bilbo’s iconic Mithril chainmail is also included.

10316 alt9

The next portion is what I loved the most. Elrond’s study room prominently displays the Shards of Narsil using a new, broken sword element that perfectly captures the look and feel of the famous blade that struck the hand of the Dark Lord. This part of the set is also adorned with several paintings that depict the story of the elves and their valiant efforts to defeat Morgoth and Sauron.

10316 alt6

The second portion or section of this set features a stunning hall of unnamed Elven heroes of old. It consists of five gray minifigures, each with distinct features. This actually gives us a total of 21 minifigures in all plus the minifigure that is on display in Elrond’s study room.

The third section of the set highlights a gazebo overlooking a river and bridge, where the Fellowship gets ready to depart from Rivendell as they embark to destroy the Ring. The gazebo’s design is simply outstanding, highlighting the effective use of white LEGO pieces to recreate the immaculate glow and brightness of the place. Looking closely at this portion, the designers also used several toilet seat pieces as part of the gazebo’s roof.

The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) 10316 alt5 10316 alt3

And what perhaps is the most appealing feature of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) set is the sheer number of LOTR minifigures added to it. We get to see newer versions of Gandalf the Grey, all four hobbits (Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Merriadoc “Merry” Brandybuck, and Peregrin “Pippin” Took), Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, and Aragorn. There are also two additional Elven smiths, Arwen, Gloin, Elrond, and Bilbo Baggins. Based on what I read from early reviews, Bilbo’s minifigure features an alternate face that underscores his scary features when influenced by the Ring.

10316 alt10

The LEGO Icons Lord of the Ring: Rivendell has a hefty price tag of $499.99 and is scheduled to be released across all LEGO stores and online beginning March 8, 2023. And if you will purchase this set as a VIP member from March 5 to 7, you will also get a free  LEGO BrickHeadz Frodo, and Gollum (40630) set valued at $15

And this time, the largest LOTR LEGO set – at 6,167 pieces – will vividly bring us back to Middle-Earth where the journey of the Fellowship of the Ring all began.

LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell

LEGO® ICONS The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell™, The one Lego Set to rule them all

7th February 2023: The LEGO Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, today announced the much-anticipated LEGO® Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell™ set, inspired by the award-winning film adaptations. This highly detailed, 6,167-piece set features the iconic Elven stronghold from Middle-earth and comes complete with 15 minifigures.

Home to the house of Elrond, Rivendell is a key location in Middle–earth and events of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as the place where the Fellowship was formed and the quest to destroy the One Ring began.

The LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell set is packed with fan favorite moments and Easter eggs, and can be built in three sections including;

Section one, featuring:
• The Council Ring – complete with a semicircular ring of chairs for the council and the plinth where the ring is first revealed and the Fellowship discuss how to destroy it
• Frodo’s Bedroom – with a desk and chest where the young hobbit recovers following his rescue by Arwen from the hands of the Nazgûl, before being reunited with Bilbo
• Elrond’s study – with famous paintings from the history of Middle–earth

Section two, featuring:
• An elven tower – featuring five Elven statues of unnamed famous warriors from the past

Section three, featuring:
• Gazebo, river, and bridge – to recreate the scene where the Fellowship departs Rivendell.

Talking about the set, LEGO Design Master, Mike Psaiki said, “We know many of our fans have been anticipating a set like this for a long-time – but a great LEGO The Lord of the Rings set is never late, it arrives precisely when it means to! It was important to us that we created something really special in this recreation of Rivendell.

From the Rumor Mill: New LEGO Dreamzzz Sets Arriving This Summer 2023

It looks like LEGO is now gearing up to introduce a new theme anytime soon. Because the public records from The German Patent and Trademark Office have revealed that LEGO has filed a trademark application for its upcoming LEGO Dreamzzz sets.

Though this news has been floating around for quite some time since we first reported this back in July last year, it is only now that we get additional information on this new LEGO theme via a government website.

According to additional reports courtesy of Promobricks, the new LEGO Dreamzzz theme will focus on the adventure of the protagonists Mateo and Izzie in and out of the Dream World. With the help of their teacher and AI robot Z-Blob, they travel through dreamy landscapes using magical dream portals using purple mushrooms. I really can’t put my finger on how the dream travel mechanics work in the theme’s storyline, especially on how they use the purple mushrooms. It kind of sounds psychedelically trippy to me, lol. But the fact that LEGO is focusing on dreams as the source of content for this upcoming theme opens plenty of opportunities for creative building expression and crazy cool sets.

Furthermore, Promobricks shares the names and details of the LEGO Dreamzzz’s first wave of sets. I have to admit that I am interested to see how these sets will turn out, considering their wacky and weird names. Just imagine what a “Turtle Balloon” or a “Bunchu Spider” looks like and let your imagination run wild. Check out the list below.

Special thanks once again to Max from Promobricks for sharing this info. I’ll update this post once official images started to roll in.
