You can now pre-order LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and if you pre-order from EB Games Australia, you can get the LEGO Batman Tumbler 30300 as a bonus. There’s no mention of a bonus minifigure like LEGO games usually have but there will most likely be one also included.
In the comments over on The Brick Fan, someone posted an image of the box for the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit 21109 which came from the German LEGO calendar/catalog. The commenter also notes that the set will include more than one minifigure so we may see the same minifigures from the teaser images and video that came out recently. What are your thoughts on what you can see so far of the Exo Suit?
San Diego Comic-Con is coming up later this month and Hasbro will be having an exclusive KRE-O set, the Transformers Class of 1984 Kreon 30-pack. It features 30 of some of the most popular Autobots and Decepticons in G1 and G2 decos including Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, and Bumblebee. There are even a couple of new Transformers Kreon making their debut in this set including Ultra Magnus, Rumble, and Frenzy. Hasbro is also going retro with the Class of 1984 set with some accessories from the 80s like a Rubix Cube, a boom box, a VHS tape, and cassette tapes. The Transformers KRE-O Class of 1984 Kreon 30-Pack will be available at SDCC at the HasbroToyShop Booth #3329 for $59.99.
It seems like LEGO has started to promote the latest LEGO Ideas product, the Exo Suit 21109. Peter Reid has teased a couple of images of a Salvage Team doing some recon for something. Check out the video below for some cool details of what’s to come in the next few days.
There is now an image, courtesy of The Brick Fan, of three more characters from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 12. The picture comes from the new LEGO Club Magazine and it shows the Prospector, Spooky Girl, and the Piggy Guy.
The Prospector carries a pickaxe, the Spooky Girl has a teddy bear, and the Piggy Guy has an apple.
Toys R Us has listed another polybag that you may be able to find in stores very soon, the LEGO City Arctic Scout polybag.
It is listed on the website as sold in stores but you may want to call and check to see if they have them on the racks. This LEGO polybag goes for $4.99 each and it has 39 pieces and includes an exclusive minifigure.

As we reported last week, LEGO is coming out with a new theme called LEGO Fusion and it is supposed to combine real play with virtual play. We have just learned that a corresponding LEGO Fusion website is now live and it has details of the theme itself as well as each of the sets included in the theme.
If you recall, this latest convergence of brick building and virtual play consists of four new LEGO Fusion sets: the Town Master 21204, the Battle Towers 21205, the Create & Race 21206, and the Resort Designer 21208. LEGO has also released videos dedicated to some of these sets which you can watch below.
Three of the sets will be available in August and the final (Resort Designer) will be available in September and they will cost $34.99 each.
A new LEGO Friends Jungle Boat polybag may be hitting Toys R Us stores, and the Amazon online store very soon.
The LEGO Friends Jungle Boat 30115 has shown up on Amazon and is now available in TRU stores. It retails for $4.99 each and you get a LEGO Friends Olivia mini-doll with a lime-green boat.
31 pieces | Includes an Olivia minidoll | $4.99
If you’re looking for a cost-effective way of bagging this LEGO Friends Olivia minidoll, then I wholeheartedly endorse this set as an option. Building the boat model is a joyful experience, accentuated by the introduction of a fresh color for the classic walkie-talkie accessory.
I have to say that the choice of mini-doll pieces, specifically Olivia’s legs, feels somewhat commonplace for the selected color scheme, and her top doesn’t seamlessly complement them. Nevertheless, I’m confident that younger builders will be more than glad to experiment with mixing and matching mini-doll parts, and this polybag provides a cost-effective solution to do so.
Alatariel Elensar on her blog has revealed her official copy of the LEGO Ideas Research Institute 21110 and she has done a review on it.
This latest LEGO Ideas set will be available this August. We will be reviewing the set as well once we get our hands on it.
165 pieces | Includes 3 Research Scientists | $19.99

On LEGO Batman’s Twitter Page, he revealed a plane mode/outfit for LEGO Batman 3 Plastic Man character.
There are no details on what it does but it may suggest that we can use him in this LEGO video game during free play mode to get to hard-to-reach areas. As we get closer to the release of the game this fall, we’ll probably see more reveals like this so stay tuned for more updates for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
