LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 Official Set Images Revealed!

Hot off the trail of the latest reveal of additional LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets from Walmart, we now have our first official images of the Disney Pixar inspired sets, LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 which were also posted on the store’s online portal. If you recall, though the entire line-up of the LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets were shown during last month’s New York Toy Fair, photography were not allowed then. Furthermore, it looks like Disney and Pixar is still keeping a tight lid on some of the major plot points of the film before it hits theaters on June 15, because we still yet to see the Elastigirl’s Rooftop Pursuit (10759) that we previously mentioned during our NYTF coverage. A new villain, maybe that is still kept under wraps? Perhaps.

As it turns out, Walmart’s online portal has just posted additional LEGO JW: FK sets that were not mentioned before. To be exact, one set is dedicated to the upcoming film, with the Dilophosaurus making a comeback, while the second is an anniversary set of sorts which is a call back to the original Jurassic Park film. Walmart has also provided a pretty interesting product description for the Dilophosaurus set which sheds light on some minor details about Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Let’s take a look.

MOC Spotlight: Modififed Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (76105) By chubbybots Addresses Articulation Issues

MOCs we feature here at The Brick Show run the gamut from wholly original builds (some of which might be entries on LEGO Ideas), to alterations of official sets. The latter might be like turning a diner into a car showroom or replacing the ship model inside a bottle display.

And then there are “MOCs” that are simply “improvements” on official sets and models without drastically changing them beyond recognition. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes’ recently released Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (76105) was highly praised, but certain builders felt its range of articulation left some things to be desired, like the knees.

This is where LEGO Builder chubbybots comes in. He managed to cook up some little modifications to remedy the stiff articulation of the LMSH Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (76105) knees, and further refine that of its shoulders. How he did the alterations is (sort of) covered in his modification video.

Chubbybots didn’t make a list of what specific alternative elements he used to improve the range of motion for the Hulkbuster’s limbs, but the video does illustrate him rebuilding the model’s limbs to his ideal mod. The result is a more poseable model, and the replacement shoulder pieces are sweet.

If you’re interested in more humanoid LEGO model builds, be they alternate fixes or original creations, you can check out chubbybot’s YouTube channel for more videos in that vein. If he can solve the stiff knees the Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (76105) had, just imagine what more wonders he could do.

Release Date of LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) Moved Earlier from August to June

You can tell from their Speed Champions line of car models that LEGO is also a big fan of awesome race cars from some of the greatest manufacturers in the world. You need only look at their Speed Champions 2018 lineup to know the strength of LEGO’s partnership with said brands.

But there are other lines outside Speed Champions where LEGO can show its awesome admiration for cars. Take for instance their magnificent model of the Bugatti Chiron on the LEGO Technic line, set 42083. It was first shown at the Nuremberg Toy Fair last January, set to release August 1.

Or at least that was the original date. As it turns out, LEGO has updated the Bugatti Chiron (42083) information on their official website’s Technic sub-page. Now it’s slated for release on June 1, a full two months ahead of the first schedule. Gear head LEGO collectors, get your wallets ready.

To hammer home just how detailed LEGO’s Technic model for the Bugatti Chiron is, consider the scale. It’s 1:8 or a mere 8 times smaller than the real car itself. With 3,599 pieces in all, the sheer complexity is mind-boggling, and at 369.99 Euros, it’ll set buyers back a lot.

The Bugatti Chiron (42083) is the second model from LEGO Technic’s Ultimate subtheme, following the already-released Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056). You may check out LEGO’s video about the Bugatti Chiron below, so you can consider if the quality of it is worth the hefty investment of its purchase price.

More Official Box Art Images Of LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets

Though much has been said already about this next wave of LEGO Jurassic World sets that has been revealed during last month’s New York Toy Fair, coupled with some official images and product descriptions, we still somehow missed on some of these set’s official box art images.

Thanks to Netherland-based LEGO retailer and fan site, Misterbricks, we now have our official box art images for the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets before their scheduled release in April or late May, and just in time before the film hits theaters in June. Take a look.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) Official Images Released

We first reported about this creatively new set at the New York Toy Fair last month, and this time we now have our first official images of the highly customizable, LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) courtesy of Bouwsteentjes.

It features a lot of interesting, new pieces, particularly that new eyeglasses piece. Check out these official images and see for yourself.

The LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) is expected to retail for $29.99 and is slated to be released beginning April 1. What do you think of a customizable BrickHeadz set? Will you be picking this one up? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) May Be The Most Expensive LEGO Ideas Set That You’ll Buy

For most AFOLs, LEGO may have seemingly bombed at the New York Toy Fair in terms of the relatively disappointing reveals that they had over at their booth, but it doesn’t mean that LEGO news isn’t getting more and more exciting. Though LEGO has already announced or teased on the arrival of the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy Lightcyle (21314) sometime next month, there is still one particular set that LEGO has completely placed under wraps for a considerable time now. Though it was quite disappointing not to see the much awaited LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set at the NYTF, it looks like we virtually have our piece of relevant information about this upcoming set.

It only took two weeks before Lendy Tayag (who goes by len_d69 over at LEGO Ideas) to garner the necessary 10K votes in 2016 for his then LEGO Ideas Voltron project, but the journey of becoming an official LEGO set – from the LEGO Ideas Design Team and eventually on store shelves later on -took almost 2 years. I remember how excited I was upon hearing that this project was eventually announced as the next LEGO Ideas last August. However, the long wait seems to be harrowing, especially considering the fact that it was preceded by three other LEGO Ideas sets: the Women of NASA (21312), the Ship in a Bottle (21313) and TRON: Legacy Lightcycle (21314) – an indication that there were some significant road bumps along the way that delayed the release of LEGO Ideas Voltron. Some rumors suggest that it was because of licensing issues, while others hint on the technical refinements needed to make the set sturdier and more articulated. Needless to say, there was, at a certain point, a cloud of doubt whether the set will still see the light of day among LEGO stores.

However, a rumor is now circulating over LEGO forums that seem to suggest that the wait might be finally over. Reddit user IAMXX has disclosed that LEGO Store inventories have been updated (supposedly within the EU) to reflect a certain IDEAS set tagged as 21311 VOLTRON, with a price point of 179.99 Euros. That gives us a rough currency conversion of $199.99 USD, making it, if rumors are true, the most expensive LEGO Ideas set ever. If such is the case, setting aside additional cost for licensing fees, we can assume that this might also be the largest LEGO Ideas set with the most number of pieces as of to date. As of now, the title of being the largest Ideas set in terms of pieces belongs to the Old Fishing Store (21310), coming in at 2,049 pieces and retailing for $149.99 – significantly lower than the $200 price point that the LEGO Ideas Voltron is rumored to have.

Though I am aware that not all AFOLs are into Voltron, and not all will also find themselves picking up this set, I certainly feel that this next LEGO Ideas Voltron will be a sure winner and a certain hit among fans of the franchise. I for one has closely watched this set’s development since it first garnered the traction of being noticed as a LEGO Ideas Project. Now that it has been turned into an official LEGO set, the excitement of seeing this built is something that I will certainly not miss. I just hope that my wallet will not hate me for this.

Since we still have the launching of the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy Lightcyle (21314) next month, we can have a good guess that LEGO might be saving Voltron for a San Diego Comic Con reveal sometime in July.

“Star Wars” TV Series on Disney Streaming Service to be Written by Jon Feavreau

There’s been a lot of talk lately, about how Disney is pushing its subsidiary Lucasfilm into expanding the Star Wars franchise into a multiplatform cinematic universe like what they did with their films from Marvel Studios. Not content with a film every year, live-action TV series are being planned too.

A variety of Star Wars content labeled as “series” is being bounced around for development by Disney and Lucasfilm for the Mouse’s future exclusive digital streaming service. Now, the latter has announced that for their long-talked about live-action Star Wars series, they mean to bring Jon Favreau into the production.

Favreau can on one hand be remembered as a director or executive producer for a number of films in Marvel Studios’ MCU, but he’s also had a hand in the Star Wars franchise. He voiced Pre Vizsla in the Clone Wars animated series and is also providing voice-work in Solo.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced that Favreau will serve as writer and executive producer for the as-yet untitled Star Wars series on the Disney streaming service and praised his talent in doing both. “This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base,” Kennedy said in interviews.

The excitement is palpable on the other end too. “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you,” he said. “I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.” The Disney streaming service is expected to launch 2019, and will have the Star Wars series as one of its first original program content.

Speaking of May’s Solo, don’t forget to check out LEGO’s latest sets in that line. And let’s not forget the Marvel side.

LEGO Rebrick: Help Decorate The LEGO House! Get Your MOC Set Displayed in Billund

The Home of the Brick, aka the LEGO House in Billund, Denmark has earned its reputation as one of THE places that serve as a gallery where great LEGO artwork around the world could be displayed as “decorations”. Having a builder’s work shown there is a major bragging rights reward.

In fact, LEGO Rebrick is ready to help aspiring builders get their next masterpiece displayed within the Home of the Brick in the future, as they call all LEGO fans to “Help Decorate the LEGO House”. Here’s your chance to get your work noticed by LEGO tourists coming to Billund.

This LEGO Rebrick contest comes in two categories: Nature and Minifigure Interiors. In the Nature category, builders must make a display of min. 4×4 studs to max 64×32 studs, with a max height of 60 bricks and no overhanging parts beyond 64×32 studs. Subjects can be plants, animals and flowers.

For the Minifigure Interior category, the subject must be a minifgure-scale interior of a room, with a min. baseplate of 16×8 studs to the same max base, brick height and overhanging restrictions as the Nature category above. Interior elements may include furniture, ornamentation, and of course minifigures to populate the set.

LEGO Rebrick will choose a total of 10 winners for each category, each of whom will get an autographed LEGO Architecture The LEGO House (21037) set, plus getting their brick-work exhibited at the real Home of the Brick (builder name and set description included), shipping expenses paid by LEGO.

If a busy builder with multiple entries wins more than once, then along with the signed LEGO Architecture LEGO House (21037) they’ll also receive another LEGO set of their choice, limited to a max price value of $75. The deadline to submit entries is April 6, 2018 so get building!

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon 75192 Now Back At LEGO Shop@Home

Frankly, I decisively stopped paying attention to news related to the availability of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), mainly out of frustration. Since its launch in September last year, the volatility of its online presence, and its rapid unavailability due to high market demand, makes it’s even more exasperating. Couple it with the absurd aftermarket sales such as those posted on eBay, and it will make you feel like throwing your bricks up into the air.

However, for the past several months, LEGO seems to have been making progress in re-stocking this once elusive (and undeniably largest) LEGO set. A few hours ago since the LEGO Shop@Home website was updated, it looks like the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is now available again, with no signs of going out of stock as of this posting.

If you still need to tick this out of your most wanted LEGO sets, and you have $800 to spare, then now is the time to get this ultimate LEGO set. Same as before, there is no guarantee until when the stocks of the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) will be relatively stable, so if you really need to purchase this set, now is the best time to do so.
