LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) Revealed!

A new LEGO Star Wars set has been revealed just in time for the holidays. The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) has been revealed and will be available exclusively for pre-order via Amazon. The set features the franchise’s most iconic villain in his intimidating crib at planet Mustafar. The idea of giving the infamous Sith Lord a place of his own has been in the minds of Star Wars film writers for a long time, and it was finally realized when it was first introduced in the big screen in Rogue One.

If you recall, this is also the place where the emotional and heart-wrenching confrontation between Anakin (before he turned to Darth Vader) and Obi-Wan took place in one of the final scenes in The Revenge of the Sith. Now, LEGO Star Wars fans can finally build this castle with LEGO’s most recent offering.

Darth Vader’s Castle (75251) comes in at 1,060 pieces and features 4 levels. It also includes Vader’s famous TIE Advanced Fighter and five minifigures, which includes two versions of Darth Vader, 2 Royal Guards, and 1 Imperial Transport Pilot. The set will retail for $129.99 and will be available for pre-order via Amazon beginning October 4. Read on for the full description below followed by the set’s official images.

The hangar also houses a buildable TIE Advanced Fighter model with stud shooters and space to sit the Darth Vader minifigure. There’s also a bacta tank, Darth Vader’s meditation chamber with holographic communication unit, and a meeting platform at the top with a defensive stud-shooter cannon. As well as classic Darth Vader, the set also includes a bacta tank version of the Dark Lord, plus 2 Royal Guards and an Imperial Transport Pilot.

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) Teased for February 2019

I guess this is somehow expected. Like its predecessor, The LEGO Movie 2 is getting tons of attention from The LEGO Group, with a good number of tie-in sets slated for next year, some of which were already listed by Amazon France. Now LEGO news authority in Germany, Promobricks, have recently received their latest copy of this year’s LEGO Christmas Catalog and from the looks of it, we will be receiving a new wave of LEGO Collectible Minifigures just in time with the film’s release in February. If you recall in 2014, LEGO has also released a similar CMF line in celebration of the first LEGO Movie. With the Harry Potter and Wizarding World CMF hype starting to wind down, LEGO is now building on the momentum by teasing on the arrival of The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) by February 2019.

This particular page from the LEGO Christmas Catalogue hints on the arrival of a new Collectible Minifigures series, scheduled for February. It is reasonable to assume that this whole new CMF line will be dedicated to The LEGO Movie sequel since all eyes will be on this next big, brick-inspired animation film. We can also see another hint from LEGO set portal Price Vortex where the site listed The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023).

If ever this rumor is confirmed by LEGO themselves, then we can assume that this will be a great CMF line to collect. The introduction of our TLM characters’ new designs following the events of the infamous post-Taco Tuesday, were received quite positively by LEGO fans. The minifigure characters that we see from the film’s trailer so far show a rather tough and Mad-Max style of design, so we can somehow expect that several of the character in this rumored CMF line will also sport a similar look. It will also be great to see the new Wasteland Batman minifigure included in this series.

Now that we’re counting the days before the New York Comic Con kicks in, let’s wait and see if LEGO has something in-store for us. The LEGO Movie 2 is scheduled to hit theaters in the US on February 8, 2019.

LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Now Officially Up at shop.LEGO.com

As early as last month, news has started to come in regarding the availability of the brick-built version of the most polarizing avian species in recent Star Wars lore. Love them or hate them, it seems that LEGO has already reserved a soft spot for The Last Jedi’s Porg, and has kept its availability under strict control since the infamous leaks of the LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) came out earlier this year. Now that The Last Jedi’s luster is starting to diminish, followed by the equally received Solo: A Star Wars Movie, I guess LEGO has no more reasons to hold back.

Recently, LEGO’s servers have been updated to now include official images of the UCS-like LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) set. Now listed at shop.LEGO.com, this particular Porg will be available to LEGO Star Wars fans starting October 1. The set will retail for $69.99 and comes in at 811 pieces. Read on for the full product description and some official images.

More Info About The LEGO Movie 2 Sets Revealed by Amazon France

As we close in towards the end of this quarter, more and more info seems to land on the internet regarding the LEGO Movie 2 sets prior to the sequel’s theatrical debut on February, 2019. We had a full reveal of the new Wasteland Batman costume a few days ago, and it is expected that this Mad Max-like version of the Dark Knight will eventually make its way as a minifigure in any of the upcoming LEGO Movie 2 sets scheduled for next year. And speaking about new LEGO sets, Amazon France is on the lead again in giving us more information about these upcoming tie-in sets.

This year’s San Diego Comic Con also saw the reveal of three LEGO Movie 2 sets, with an expected release date of early January. Other than these confirmed sets, it looks like we will have additional 9 sets under the film’s belt and more as we count weeks before the rest of the reveal sometime late December or January. As consolidated by Price Vortex, we now have additional info on these sets’ piece count and expected retail price. Here’s what we have so far.

70821 The LEGO Movie 2 (117 pieces – 19.99 €)

70822 The LEGO Movie 2 (76 pieces – 9.99 €)

70823 The LEGO Movie 2 (174 pieces – 14.99 €)

70824 The LEGO Movie 2 (115 pieces – 19.99 €)

70826 The LEGO Movie 2 (236 pieces – 29.99 €)

70827 Ultrakitty & Warrior Lucy (348 pieces – 29.99 €)

70828 The LEGO Movie 2 (1014 pieces – 99.99 €)

70829 Emmet & Lucy’s Escape Buggy (550 pieces – 49.99 €)

70830 Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship (502 pieces – 74.99 €)

70831 The LEGO Movie 2 (706 pieces – 64.99 €)

70832 The LEGO Movie 2

70833 The LEGO Movie 2

70834 The LEGO Movie 2

70836 The LEGO Movie 2 (168 pieces – 19.99 €)

70840 The LEGO Movie 2

70841 The LEGO Movie 2 (68 pieces – 9.99 €)

It is interesting to note that its very likely that there will be a LEGO BrickHeadz single and dual sets under this theme considering that there are sets listed above that are within the price range of 9.99 and 19.99 Euros. Another point of interest is set 70840 which seem to be the largest among all the listed sets so far. Amazon FR shows that this set’s box packaging measures at 58.2cm X 17cm X 48 cm. (LxWxH), which is very similar to that of the LEGO Movie MetalBeard’s Sea Cow (70810) D2C set clocking at 2,741 pieces. We can safely guess that set 70840 may perhaps be the largest direct-to-consumer set that LEGO has in store for The LEGO Movie 2.

Based from the looks of it, LEGO is posed to release a huge collection of tie-in sets that can rival those from the first film. Not included in this listing are polybags and other LEGO Movie 2 gift-with-purchase sets. We’re surely off to a good start in 2019. The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is scheduled to open in cinemas in the US on February 8, with more LEGO tie-in sets to be revealed at the end of this year.

Captain Marvel’s Official Trailer Finally Revealed!

Another MCU trailer has broken the internet. Currently trending at #3 on YouTube with more than 14 million views, Captain Marvel’s official trailer has overtaken the online world in less than 12 hours. In this official trailer, the Kree heroine is thrown from space and landing on an all-too-familiar 90s pop culture symbol. In case you missed it, here’s the official trailer once again.

We don’t need the power of the Mind Stone to be sure that LEGO has something in the works for MCU 9^th Phase 3 film. Since March early this year, when Marvel Entertainment released its official press release about MCU’s cosmic-powered heroine, I made a wishlist of LEGO tie-in sets that I would like to see before the film debuts on March 8, 2019. And this month, when official set images of Captain Marvel were revealed, we had a better look at Starforce, the Kree’s elite military group with which Captain Marvel is affiliated, and the Skrulls, which are the film’s supposedly main antagonists.

Similar to LEGO Marvel Superheroes Guardian of Galaxy Vol. 2 and Black Panther subthemes, we can expect that Captain Marvel will also have two or three LEGO tie-in sets under her name. Some of the things I hope are sets where we can find Captain Marvel in her various minifigure renditions, including her predominantly green Starforce uniform, another uniform iteration with the signature mask and helmet on, and the upgraded red and blue uniform as seen in the comic books.

As I mentioned before, another LEGO Marvel Superheroes Captain Marvel set will most likely include Nick Fury in his younger years as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and the Kree hero Captain Mar-vell (played by Jude Law). Another candidate will be a set that includes the shape-shifting Skrulls – something similar perhaps to that beachfront scene where the Skrulls have supposedly arrived.

It is somehow established that most of MCU’s recent movie trailers are also teasers for future LEGO sets. Some of these are G.O.T.G.’s battle with the Abilisk as depicted in The Milano vs. The Abilisk (76081), Black Panther’s Royal Talon Fighter Attack (76100), and Thor Ragnarok’s Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash (76088). Therefore, it is not a long shot to consider that any of the scenes we saw in Captain Marvel’s official trailer will find their way as an official LEGO Marvel Superheroes set early next year.

Which particular scene from Captain Marvel’s official trailer do you think will become an official LEGO set? Tell me about your wish list and share it in the comments below.

The LEGO Movie 2 Reveals Wasteland Batman Costume

In case you missed it, DC fans all over the world is now celebrating the Dark Knight’s annual Batman Day in honor of the Caped Crusader’s first comic book appearance in Detective Comics #27 way back in 1939. And to mark the occasion, the official Twitter page of The LEGO Movie 2 has posted an alternate costume of the Dark Knight that I hope will find its way in becoming a physical minifigure. Dubbed as Wasteland Batman, it shows how our hero managed to survive post-apocalyptic Bricksburg after the Duplon Invasion of Taco Tuesday.

I mean, every day is my day but I'm glad you've finally said it. #BatmanDay pic.twitter.com/KAkNVHuM9G

— The LEGO Movie 2 (@TheLEGOMovie) September 15, 2018

The LEGO Movie 2 has introduced a lot of changes to our minifig heroes when we first saw them in The LEGO Movie. Perhaps the most striking of them all is the ‘evolution’ that Unikatty went through – from being the ambassadress of joy and happy thoughts, to a full-grown battle cat that even other LEGO mechs will steer away from. We also Wyldstyle sporting a new desert wasteland look, while the rest of Bricksburg’s residents became like Mad Max extras. As far as we can see it, it is only Emmet that somehow managed to retain his cheery attitude and typical garb.

If you recall, we had our first glimpse of our revamped characters when the official poster for The LEGO Movie 2 first came out last June, and a partial Wasteland Batman was seen reflected on Sweet Mayhem’s visor, and later on in the film’s official trailer.

LEGO has already announced three initial LEGO Movie 2 tie-in sets that will be released in January 2019. However, notably missing is the new Wasteland Batman minifigure that we saw frequently on the film’s early promotions. My best bet is that we will see this new version of Batman in a soon-to-be announced set. And in my opinion, this is perhaps one of the best costumes that our minifig Dark Knight has ever worn. I like how the large, half-tire shoulder pads turned out, including the tattered cape, and metallic bat logo in front. He also has his yellow utility belt piece first introduced in The LEGO Batman Movie, which is a kind of interesting choice given that in first TLM film, we saw him having a printed belt instead rather than having a physical counterpart.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is slated to hit US theaters on February 8, with several LEGO tie-in sets to be announced early next year, or late December.

Check Out This Very First Video Review of the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222)

Starting September 13, LEGO VIP card holders will now have the chance to bag the very first LEGO set tagged with the Master Builder seal approval. The LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) brings together the most memorable and iconic scenes from the Empire Strikes Back under one, featured-pack LEGO Star Wars set. So before you head over at your local LEGO Store or hit that buy button at shop.LEGO.com, the cool guys of IGN gives as a sampling of what to expect from this 2,800+ piece set. Thanks to Max Scoville and Brian Altano, it looks like we have our very first video review of the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). Check out their video below.

Nothing beats seeing the actual set, and this is especially true with the Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). I have to say that I didn’t imagine this to be this huge. The footprint alone for the completed build is quite impressive. As revealed by LEGO through the set’s official press release earlier last month, this very first Master Builder set comes with tons of play features that sets it apart from other LEGO Star Wars UCS, sets which is mostly meant for display. However, I have to agree with the IGN people that the set does not even remotely look like the Cloud City as we know from the films. In fact, the overall feel and design of the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) makes it look like a cross-sectioned Death Star.

Though some older LEGO fans may consider this as a turn-off for certain reasons, the Betrayal of Cloud City (75222) set makes up for it through the sheer number of minifigures and play features that are included into it. The set comes with a whopping 18 minifigures, including minibuilds of Boba Fett’s Slave I, an all-red Twin-Pod Cloud Car, and the iconic Han Solo in carbonite prison plus several action-packed features to relive those unforgettable Star Wars Episode V scenes.

Thanks once again to IGN for sharing this first video review of the LEGO Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). And in case you’ve set your eyes to this set as a first day buy (and with enough cash to spare), this first Master Builder set will retail for $349.99 USD and will be available starting tomorrow at shop.LEGO.com and all LEGO brand stores in the US and other parts of the globe.

New LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Super Packs Spotted at CostCo

The initial wave of 2018 sets for LEGO Star Wars included several battle scene packs that usually comprised several minifigures with props and a brick-built vehicle or two of some sort. They were functional recreations of key fight scenes from the franchise and thus offered more playability than vehicle sets. Lately Star Wars news site Rebelscum has reported the sighting of a special LEGO Star Wars set in warehouse retailer CostCo. Instagrammer YakFace describes it as a LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Super Packs, containing a couple of this year’s LEGO Star Wars releases, particularly two Battle Pack sets.

2 new LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Super Packs at Costco #legostarwars #costco #legostarwars

A post shared by Yakface (@yak_face) on Sep 9, 2018 at 11:15am PDT

The LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Super Packs include Battle Pack sets such as the First Order Specialists Battle Pack (75197) and Tatooine Battle Pack (75198). Also seen are Super Packs containing Jedi and Clone Troopers Battle Pack (75206) and Imperial Patrol Battle Pack (75207). These individual LEGO Star Wars sets each have four minifigures and a central vehicle prop.

Rebelscum believes these Super Packs may be LEGO exclusives available at CostCo, and with the $23.99 asking price, they’re definitely a superior deal than buying the two sets in their separate boxes. LEGO Star Wars fans who have more than enough saved to buy Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) this coming Thursday might consider picking one of these up extra at their nearest CostCo store.
