Black Panther Takes on Thanos Again in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Trouble in Wakanda

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Trouble in Wakanda is next LEGO animated special to watch out for.

It’s almost a week ever since Avengers: Infinity War arrived in cinemas last April, and plenty perhaps are still smarting over the developments. Spoilers ahead, but surely the loss of Wakanda’s King T’Challa, the Black Panther, weighs heavily on fans who watched his movie just this February. It’s so unfair.

Check Out the New LEGO Marvel Animated Short, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Trouble in Wakanda!

Well, until we get to see the resolution to Thanos’ victory next year on Avengers 4, we might settle for this little offering by LEGO to promote their Avengers: Infinity War tie-in sets and merchandise. It’s called LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Trouble in Wakanda, an animated special on Marvel HQ.

As the subtitle pretty much spells out, this series of animated shorts will star possibly the coolest Marvel hero on film today, Black Panther. The Mad Titan Thanos is again stirring some bad juju over Wakanda, and T’Challa means to get to the bottom of it.

Leading his hometown allies, and with outside help from the Avengers, the Black Panther aims to scratch up and beat down anybody who messes with his beloved kingdom. Whether they be Klaue the mercenary, Killmonger the usurper, or Thanos himself. We can rest assured the LEGO special is pure action-comedy.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Trouble in Wakanda, brought to us by Marvel and Pure Imagination Studios, will run five episodes long on Marvel’s official YouTube channel, Marvel HQ, starting May 11. Eventually, the five LEGO Marvel episodes will be compiled into a special premiering on June 3 on Disney XD. Wakanda Forever!

WATCH: Netflix’s ‘The Toys That Made Us’ Promo Clip Featuring LEGO

Earlier this year, we reported that one of Netflix’s documentaries, The Toys That Made Us, will feature one of our culture’s most loved toys and popular icon – the LEGO brick. The first four episodes were released already on the streaming giant’s platform with Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, and G.I. Joe comprising the first wave of episodes. Now that the second wave of TMU’s docu-series were announced for a May 25 release, a particular promo clip has been released by Nerdist that features what most of us has been waiting for. This particular promo clip puts the spotlight on that period of history where we as kids, once dreamed of reaching the stars, and relived the grandeur and chivalry of knights and wizards. Watch the clip below.

The promo clip begins with a visit back to the acclaimed LEGO vault archives to see two particular sets that forever sealed LEGO’s footprint across the toy industry: 1973’s LEGO Space Command Center (493) and 1978’s LEGO Castle (375). There is much to talk about as far the history and influence of LEGO as a toy brand around the world, so this is one particular episode that I’m looking forward to. Toys That Made Us Season 2 will be available in Netflix starting May 25, and will feature toy brands such as LEGO, Transformers, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek –the first two being the most influential toys that made up a significant part of my childhood.

Episode 5 of Netflix Documentary Series “The Toys that Made Us” Featuring LEGO Releasing on May 25

Early this year, we gave a brief coverage on The Toys that Made Us, a Netflix documentary series by Brian Volk-Weiss that discussed the history of some of the greatest branded toy lines of past and present. Slated for 8 episodes, four of them were released before a lengthy hiatus.

Now, almost four months since Netflix made available the first four episodes of The Toys that Made Us for streaming, we have a release schedule for the latter half of this documentary; the first of which, episode 5, will cover what we in the Brick Show discuss every day: LEGO.

As our previous article on this documentary feature for LEGO stated, Netflix, Brian Volk-Weiss and The Nacelle Company have as part of the presentation, some LEGO subject-matter expert AFOLs courtesy of Bricks LA. That ought to ensure that The Toys that Made Us would include in-depth information on LEGO history.

In addition to that, there will also be scenes and perhaps interviews to be done at LEGO HQ in Billund, Denmark. You can’t get more first-hand info and company stories than that. I suppose we can now wait in full confidence that this show’s LEGO episode will be respectfully spot-on.

The earlier half of The Toys that Made Us, put up on Netflix last December 27, 2017 included episodes covering Kenner’s Star Wars, Mattel’s Barbie and He-Man, and Hasbro’s G.I. Joe. The latter – May 25 – episodes, aside from LEGO, will also feature Hasbro’s Transformers, Sanrio’s Hello Kitty and Star Trek.

Additional 2018 LEGO Elves Sets Revealed

I’m not really that familiar with the LEGO Elves theme, but judging from the positive reception that it received during the New York Toy Fair, it looks like the LEGO Group is keeping tabs with this mini-doll, fantasy-themed sets and has plans to add more to its roster. Last December, we reported on this year’s first batch of LEGO Elves that is now currently available at shop.LEGO.com and Amazon.

This time, the battle between the elves and the forces of darkness continues with the inclusion of two additional sets highlighting additional elemental creatures in the series. Check out their official box art below, with more information which be found at Radio Kontrol’s Italian site.

These two new LEGO Elves sets are expected to hit stores starting early this Summer.

A Look At the LEGO Ninjago Dieselnaut (70654)

A couple of days ago, images of the next wave of LEGO Ninjago sets made its way online via Amazon France. Apparently, one particular set has been left out by the site which can now be found (yes, you guessed it right) at Italian toy and hobby retailer shop, Radio Kontrol.

The LEGO Ninjago Dieselnaut (70654) is a tank-like build that seems to have come from a LEGO movie version of Mad Max. It comes equipped with a minifig-scaled cockpit, and a platform that can be used to mount additional minifigs. It also has 2 revolving turrets equipped with spring-loaded shooters, a holding area for captured enemies, a crane function and a hidden compartment to stack up weapons. The set also comes with a buildable statue where the Dragon Armor resides.

The set comes with a rather interesting set of minifigures that gives us a hint that there might be some sort of a time skip/travel involved in LEGO Ninjago’s Season 9 storyline. There are a total of 7 minifigures included in this set which includes a teenage version of Master Wu, Jay, Zane, and a host of scary-sounding villains such as the Iron Baron, Heavy Metal, Muzzle, and Skullbreaker.

Here’s a brief description of the set as Google-translated from Italian.

LEGO Ninjago Dieselnaut (70654)

Warning! Iron Baron, Heavy Metal, Skullbreaker and Muzzle have launched an attack aboard their mighty LEGO® NINJAGO® 70654 Dieselnaut! Take your weapons and join the fight with Young Wu, Jay and Zane. Avoid the Dieselnaut’s spring-loaded shooter and crane. You absolutely must not be caught in the prison of this monstrous vehicle! Stop the evil dragon master and grab the entire Dragon Armor!

These 2018 LEGO Disney Summer Sets Images Highlights “Build and Swap” Features

It’s amazing at times just how many product lines and labels that LEGO has under its brand that they must make new sets for. And yet they’re able to do just that, judging from how many new sets were announced with accompanying previews of the LEGO Unikitty and LEGO City Arctic themes over the weekend alone.

Among those announcements, care of Italy’s Radio Kontrol, were two new LEGO Disney sets of the “Build and Swap” sub-series. Both sets feature long-haired Disney Princess Rapunzel as seen in Disney Channel’s Tangled: The Series. Build and Swap maximizes the modularity of LEGO sets to mix and match with others.

First up is the Rapunzel’s Castle Bedroom set (41156), featuring Rapunzel and her pet chameleon Pascal on their cozy little chamber with a well-appointed bed, a bookshelf with assorted knick-knacks, a painting easel and a nook for Pascal to rest on. Her bookshelf also has a secret compartment to it.

Next we have Rapunzel’s Travelling Caravan (41157), a well-appointed wagon house that’s Rapunzel’s home away from home at Corona. Accompanied by her best friend and bodyguard Cassandra (and borrowing Flynn’s faithful steed Maximus), Rapunzel has all the necessary comforts at hand, including an archery target (and those weird black rocks).

LEGO Ninjago Oni Titan (70658) Box Art Revealed

Following the reveal of the LEGO Ninjago Summer sets and the highly anticipated LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657), it looks like we have another mech-type set under the Ninjago theme. Said to be spotted first at LEGOLAND Billund, the LEGO Ninjago Oni Titan (70658) borrows several aesthetic features from the Garma Mecha Man (70613), but with a more balanced look. However, I’m still kind of frustrated about why LEGO still insists on building those knees in such an uninspiring manner.

Anyways, the LEGO Ninjago Oni Titan is expected to be a part of the summer wave of sets that represents the upcoming Season 9 of the TV series which has dragons as one of its central themes. We don’t have a piece count yet, but based on its size in proportion to the four minifigures included with it, the build seems to stand around the same height as that of Garma Mecha Man, but relatively smaller as compared to the Fire Mech (70615).

Save for the legs and knees, the upper part of the build is pretty impressive. I like how intimidating the face of the Oni Titan looks, especially its purplish, sinister-looking eyes. Its dark bluish-gray colors also give it a nefarious feel, heightened by its overbearing katana and oversized knuckles.

Though the LEGO Ninjago Oni Titan (70658) was first spotted at LEGOLAND Billund, rumor has it that it will be a Walmart exclusive starting in May when the rest of the theme’s summer wave of sets are released. Will keep you posted once official images of this set are out. Thanks to Brickset forum members for sharing this image, with additional reporting from The Brick Fan.
