Complete LEGO Star Wars Han Solo Official Images and Product Descriptions Finally Released

The official trailer of the Solo: A Star Wars story has finally been dropped on the Internet. And just in time with the trailer’s release, LEGO has finally broken its silence and has released its long overdue official images of its LEGO tie-in counterparts.

If you recall since early last March, we already spotted these official images as they made their appearance in various online retailer sites around the globe. However, they came only in bits and pieces which really doesn’t give us a comprehensive look at what each of the LEGO Star Wars Han Solo sets have to offer. This time around, LEGO has finally lifted the veil, and gives us a closer look at each of these before they are out on shelves worldwide on April 13. Check these out.

First Official Image and Product Description of the LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom T-Rex Transport (75933)

NOTE: Mild spoilers ahead.

It looks like we now have our first official image and more product details for the LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom T-Rex Transport (75933). If you recall from last February just in time with LEGO’s reveal at the New York Toy Fair of the new tie-in LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom sets, we came to know that there will be at least five sets to be offered sometime in June, together with two additional JWFK sets that were disclosed via Walmart’s online portal.

To our surprise, it turns out that LEGO has another one hidden under its sleeves when the LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom T-Rex Transport (75933) was spotted over at eBay sometime last month. Coming in at 609 pieces, this set particularly highlights that scene in the film where the team of Zia Rodriguez (played by Daniella Pineda) tries to restrain the mighty T. Rex, as they prep it for transport.

This time around, Walmart updates its listing once again to now include our first official, high-resolution image of the mighty T-Rex in its most recent LEGO form. Check out the following set image of the T-Rex Transport (75933), together with some interesting product description. Take a look.

LEGO Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom T-Rex Transport (75933)

scaled 2 75933

Track the Tyrannosaurus Rex in this big-action play set scene inspired by Jurassic World and return it to the transporter, featuring a single-seater truck, detachable container with opening and lockable side panels, and a mobile laboratory unit. This T. rex toy includes 3 minifigures and 2 dinosaur figures.

  • Includes 3 minifigures: Zia and 2 guards, plus 2 dinosaur figures.
  • Features a single-seater truck and a detachable trailer with a containment unit that has opening and lockable side panels, landing gear, plus a mobile medical unit and monitoring system with 2 transfusion leads.
  • Rex features posable limbs, head and snapping jaws.
  • Weapons include a gun stud shooter and a shock prod.
  • Unlock the containers side panels and stage a T. rex escape!
  • Remove the mobile laboratory unit from the transporter and attach the leads to the dinosaurs to perform an emergency blood transfusion!
  • This T. rex toy is suitable for ages 7-12. Truck measures over 3 (8cm) high, 5 (14cm) long and 3 (8cm) wide.
  • Trailer with containment unit measures over 6 (16cm) high, 6 (17cm) long and 3 (9cm) wide.
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex stands over 6 (17cm) high.

Now it is kind of interesting to see how this dino ‘emergency blood transfusion’ will play in the film. I feel that the need for this emergency procedure is somehow a crucial part in the film. It is sure is interesting to see how this will be revealed in the big screen.

We don’t have an exact retail price yet, but we will keep you posted and keep this piece of news under the radar.

CONFIRMED: LEGO Star Wars Mini BB-8 (40288) Is This Year’s Exclusive LEGO May The 4th Promotional

Last week, we reported that the upcoming LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promotional will be very much similar to last year’s buildable R2-D2 (30611) polybag, and it looks like that our next similar promotional will be getting its inspiration from another one of Star Wars most famous droids. The confirmation comes from the LEGO Store Spring Catalog which is reported to be shipped together with sets that were ordered via LEGO Shop@Home, according to Promobricks. Based on one of its pages, this year’s May the 4th Promotional will be the LEGO Star Wars Mini BB-8 (40288) polybag as you can see below.

lego maythe4th2018 2

Similar to last year, this Mini-BB8 polybag will only be available on May 4, during which, it comes free for every $75 single receipt purchase of any LEGO Star Wars sets. This brick built figure is a whole lot different from TRU’s microbuild polybag Bricktober promo – first, it’s significantly large as compared from the previous TRU microbuild promo, giving the Mini BB-8 (40288) polybag an expected larger piece count. And secondly, like last year’s builable R2-D2 polybag, it comes with a uniquely printed dome piece, and 6×6 satellite dishes surrounding its body to give this mini BB-8 a spherical look.

40288 1

Considering that this is only made available for a day, we can expect that this promotional will become one of the hottest, sought after items come May 4. So if you’re planning to purchase online, be sure to be quick on those mouse clicks once the clock strikes 12 midnight of May 4. If you prefer to drop by at your local LEGO store, then don’t forget to ask for this little buildable guy.

LEGO Wizarding World Minisite in LEGO.com Now Up (and Under Development)

With so many entertainment franchises around us, branding has become an essential means of standing out. Warner Bros. had a brilliant idea going when with the impending release of the next installment for the Fantastic Beasts spinoff of the Harry Potter films they’d group the two together under one banner.

That’s why The Crimes of Grindelwald is now prefaced in its trailer with the “Wizarding World” label, covering the movie adaptations of the Harry Potter books by JK Rowling and the Fantastic Beasts films which have the British author as screenwriter. Companies making Potter-verse tie-in merchandise are now following suit.

Of course, that also includes LEGO. Already the official website has begun work on a Harry Potter mini-section to be branded after “JK Rowling’s Wizarding World™”. This of course is in line with both the impending premiere of The Crimes of Gridelwald and the wave of upcoming LEGO Potter sets.

Said LEGO merchandise is roughly divided into tie-ins for Harry Potter and for Fantastic Beasts. For the latter, we have the “Grindelwald’s Escape” set (yet unnumbered) that captures a scene from the film hinted at in its first trailer; for the former, we have the magnificent Hogwarts Great Hall (75954).

And the deluge will not be stopping there. Other products such as Harry Potter minifigure collections and BrickHeadz sets are still waiting in the wings for releasing later this year. It’s a sure bet that these items will be populating the Wizarding World section of LEGO.com once it’s fully operational.

Fun and Frustration: Favorite April Fools’ LEGO News from Last Sunday

We’re well into the first week of April now; that’s two days away from Sunday – Easter to some, April Fools’ Day to many more – when both the real world and the internet can go crazy for a little bit. That’s when some (fun) fake news gets posted online, after all.

Not even the LEGO new community is spared from getting suckered by a whopper or two. Believe me; a few times I started writing articles this Monday, only to stop after discovering the fibs. I figured it might be fun to feature the best April Fools LEGO news this year.

One majorly hilarious offender was LEGO itself, which posted what seemed like their first foray into household appliances with the “VacuSort” brick vacuum cleaner, supposedly able to sort the bricks it sucks up from the floor. To my shame, it being on official LEGO Facebook got me (almost) writing it.

TheBrickFan too had a major April Fools moment with one piece of news that got me genuinely hyped…and crushingly disappointed when I read the end of the article. After all, what collectible hunter wouldn’t be interested about collaboration between LEGO and vinyl figure maker Funko? But it was April Fools’.

LEGO Funko

The next joke LEGO news I’d like to feature comes from Bricks to Life, which may have pulled off the greatest licensed LEGO merchandise gag I’ve yet seen: a LEGO Watchmen videogame from the usual suspects of WB Interactive and Traveller’s Tales. Well, it IS a DC title after all.

Finally, Jay’s Brick Blog did an article about another LEGO entry foray, this time into crypto-currency. That’s right; Brickcoin. Then again, having knowledge of Bitcoin’s current status makes this April Fools’ news lose some bite.

Rich Cryptocurrency Trader 1024x557

There are more of these jokes floating about, but these are my favorites this 2018. Still, I invite you to search around some more to get a few more laughs in, before the week goes on and April 1 is eventually consigned to past memories.

LEGO Harry Potter BrickHeadz are Coming this Fall!

Earlier last month, we mentioned a list of upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz slated this fall, with some of them having set names and numbers that were revealed already. For one, it looks like LEGO is in a roll in offering more sets dedicated to the return of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and the more recent Fantastic Beasts series.  This time around, we have confirmation that the hugely popular BrickHeadz line will also carry two familiar characters from the said franchise.

What we know so far based on the set images that we saw, is that there will be two particular LEGO BrickHeadz related to the theme: Harry Potter and Hedwig (41615), and Hermione Granger (41616). These sets are expected to be released sometime this fall. Both sets highlight our classic HP characters during their first days as students of Hogwarts. Set 41615 highlights Harry’s Gryffindor black robe, that comes with a unique 1×1 printed tile for the Gryffindor coat of arms, a printd 1×4 tile for the end portion of his red and yellow scarf, and a wand. The Harry Potter BrickHeadz will also use the newer circular eyeglasses piece which I think was first used in Go Brick Me (41597). Lastly of course, he will also use a unique 1×4 printed tile piece that shows his iconic forehead scar.

Hedwig’s BrickHeadz iteration is not to be outdone either: the snowy white owl seems to use a new kind printed of piece for his wings as well. We’ll confirm this once we have a better image of the set. This version of Hedwig also adds to the roster of LEGO’s ever-growing non-humanoid BrickHeadz builds that LEGO came up with after the official reveal of the Jurassic World Owen and Blue (41614) set.

Hermione Granger (41616) also shows a BrickHeadz version of her during her early years at Hogwarts. It features her gray cardigan and tie uniform (there’s a unique printed tile for her necktie), a spell book and a wand. All in all, this collection of LEGO BrickHeadz took their inspiration from the classic, early years of Harry Potter as we can see below.

HP characters 2 HP characters 1

 

We do not have an exact piece count, but we can roughly estimate that the LEGO BrickHeadz Harry Potter and Hedwig (41615) will retail for $15, while Hermione Granger (41616) will sell for $10. Both will be available sometime this fall.

 

I Hope This Is Not An April Fool’s Day Joke: LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Promotional Arriving In May

We know that there is a new LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod polybag coming out this April, and it looks like there is another similar polybag all set to go in May. Now to be honest, I’m a little hesitant about posting this piece of news, especially that playful fiction has a tendency to become fact in this day of the year. Nevertheless, there seems to be some grain of truth in what the good guys from Promo Bricks have to say. According to one of their most recent reports – actually it was posted yesterday which gives credence to the idea that this is not probably a part of an elaborate pre-April Fools Day conspiracy – LEGO Star Wars fans can expect BB-8 to make a comeback in a TRU-style microbuild polybag.

If you recall from last October, Toys R Us back then offered a build and take home LEGO BB-8 microbuild to conclude their annual Bricktober celebrations last year (I will certainly miss their Bricktober minifigures for that matter). As I mentioned in that post, I sincerely feel that LEGO and TRU could have improved on this particular LEGO BB-8 microbuild, which quite frankly, looks like an underarm roll-on. Nevertheless, the build itself is pretty solid in terms of design but the lack of aesthetics (i.e. some unique printed parts) is a bit of a let-down and is an injustice against one of the most adorable SW droids around.

lego trumaketake bb8 500
Image courtesy of Rebel Scum. Not actual LEGO BB-8 polybag (40288).

Nevertheless, this news from Promo Bricks, if proven to be true is expected to be of similar build but will have a marked difference. The LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag will have printed parts particularly for the side of its head. Now it is not really uncommon to see BB-8 in brick-build form since we already have the UCS-like LEGO Star Wars The Last Jedi BB-8 (75187) set. The challenge therefore is to recreate this set in such a small scale without compromising BB-8’s outstanding features, and the best way to do that is to offer some printed parts.

Admittedly, Promo Bricks does not have the polybag image to share as of the moment, but they promise to give us an update as soon as it is available. Will keep our radars open for this one and will keep you posted as well.

Here’s A Look At The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) Polybag Promotional

DISCLAIMER: This is not in any way related to April Fool’s Day just in case you got overly concerned with my spoiler laden LEGO Marvel Superheroes The Death of Loki set. 😉

Now that April is officially in, LEGO is now geared up for another round of promotional freebies to sweeten your LEGO shopping. Its launching was not that all smooth given the fact that The LEGO Group temporarily suspended the release of this set last December. But thanks to the LEGO Store April Calendar, we’re now sure to expect the much-awaited LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) polybag this month. This next LEGO Star Wars promotional gift with purchase set is slated to be given away from April 13 to May 3, with a corresponding LEGO Star Wars purchase of $60 and above.

Vader Pod 7981 APR18 CAL medres Page 1

With that out of the way, eBay reseller princess_789 gives us a first look on how this polybag promo will look like come April 13 in the US. Coming in at 36 pieces, the set comes, of course, with a LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader minifigure, together with gateway like arch with several nice printed pieces.

lego darth vader pod 5

lego darth vader pod 4

Promobricks also managed to share some images that show how the pod looks like from the outside. As mentioned in earlier articles, the pod seems to have a metallic outside casing probably because of its glossy effect and its lenticular printing.

lego darth vader pod 2

lego darth vader pod 3

The fact that this promotional is already in the secondary market is a likely indication that it is now available in US LEGO brand stores and is just awaiting the go signal for distribution. The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) polybag is also a great way to bag the minifig version of the iconic Sith Dark Lord. I really couldn’t figure that much from the polybag image, but it seems to me that this minifigure is a likely combination of two previous Darth Vader releases. For the helmet, the new minifig seems to borrow from 2016’s Vader’s TIE Advanced vs A-Wing Starfighter (75150), while the torso and leg prints seems to suggest a version of Vader from 2014’s Imperial Star Destroyer (75055). Whatever the case is, I’m quite positive that this will be one of the most sought after LEGO pods of all time. What do you think?

What Do You Want To Find This Easter Sunday? Why Not Start With This Brick-Built Crème Egg

While this side of the globe is waking up to the sights and smells of a wonderful Sunday morning, the rest of us are busy preparing for the hustle and bustle of preparing for the time-honored Easter Egg Hunt. For young ones and the young-once, we still get a kick out of the excitement in searching for that egg-shaped goodie with the promise of being handsomely rewarded in the end. For LEGO builder extraordinaire Chris McVeigh, the reward comes in a Brick-Built Crème Egg as you can see from his original creation below.

Creme Egg//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

The moment I first glanced on this set, I have to admit that I was enticed right away on how Chris managed to seamlessly combine the ‘caramel and cream’ LEGO pieces inside this perfectly shaped chocolate egg. For some unknown reason, my mind seems to subliminally tell me that I need to gobble on some chocolate cream eggs right away. I will definitely not mind stumbling on this LEGO chocolate egg this Easter – I just have to remind myself not to eat them.

So in behalf of the entire Brick Show Team…

HAVE A BLESSED EASTER SUNDAY EVERYONE!
