Preliminary Image for 75024

Yeah, this is it, the best picture...

Yesterday, a German website (eggersmann-modellautos.de's page has a 404 error, for a good picture: -Groove Bricks-) revealed the first image of the remaining two Star Wars sets without images: 75024 HH-87 Starhopper (The other set is 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser). Then The set is really hard to see so there isn't much to say for it yet but I guess it includes a disguised Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cad Bane, and a Nikto Guard. The coloration look pretty nice too and should be great for MOCs (My-Own-Creations if you're new to that abbreviation)! This set will be somewhere around $30-$40 USD. This is the Lego Spy, out.

DC Super Heroes

Finally we get a picture of one of the new Superman: Man of Steel Lego sets (other than 76002, which is late news). We have 76003 Battle of Smallville today and it looks great! They details are great, the minifigures are especially wonderful, and some great pieces for MOCs too! The minifigures (as stated before)... They're just amazing. The enemies armor look great for MOCs, the helmets are epic, and those new guns are so cool! Superman looks nice too, with his shining armor and fire red cape! And the army guy, well, we'll skip over that... (He's bald! What an outrage!) The vehicles are great too with lots of rare and uncommon pieces (418 pieces included), and for $50 (USD), you can't spend your money on a better set right now in my opinion!

Also, today we have 76002 Superman Metropolis Showdown which I thought was going to be another stinking $20 ripoff. But no! It will be sold at $12.99 (USD)! I think most people thought it was going to be $20 so thank goodness it's not! This set (considering the price) is really nice! I mean, seriously, 119 pieces for a $12.99 set is unheard of! Therefore I believe I will be getting bothe of these new Superman sets! This is the Lego Spy, out. Links to better pictures: -Flickr- -Brickset-

Labels

Hi everyone, I now have the site updated with Labels. I will have them updated according to recent news, so if you need a quick search choose the Label and view the posts. Also note this is sort of a test, please comment on this video if you would like all the Labels shown instead of just ones on current events. If there are a enough people with this problem I'll definitely consider changing that around somehow.

Galaxy Squad Pictures

Here are just a few new pictures of the new Galaxy Squad sets scheduled for this Summer (United States).
The new sets look great, prices too. One exception: 70708 Hive Crawler, the price seems a bit steep in my opinion ($69.99 USD).  The other problem with it is that, unfortunately, It's my favorite set :-(  For review, the sets are:
     Set                                               Price*
 • 70706 Crater Crawler                       $19.99 USD
 • 70707 CLS-89 Eradicator Mech        $39.99 USD
 • 70708 Hive Crawler                          $69.99 USD
 • 70709 Galactic Titan                        $99.99 USD
*All prices subject to change

Marvel Super Heroes

The new Marvel Super Heroes sets have made a sneaky entrance to Lego.com and are now available for purchase. The sets are as listed:
76008 Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown  $12.99 USD (That's a long name!)
76006 Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle  $19.99 USD (Name = ???)
76007 Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack  $39.99 USD (What's with these names!?)
All the sets are based on the new Iron Man 3 movie and the names of these sets must somehow be related to the movie.
Lego Spy Note: What's up with the product numbers here? Usually sets are numbered lower to higher based on price (EX: 100 = $12.99, 101 = $19.99, 102 = $24.99 etc.). But here they're all mixed up: 76006 is $19.99, 76007 $39.99, and 76008 is... $12.99? Could this be intentional or was there a mix up?

Laval's Journey

Click to view larger (this is kind of a strange picture)

Here's a little bit of news I thought might interest any Legends of Chima fans. The Lego Legends of Chima Laval's Journey is scheduled for release later this year and now we have a little (mind what I said there: a little) news on that revealed on Lego.com. It basically states: "Discover the Legend of the Triple Chi Armour!" and below that it says:

"Get ready for an epic adventure as Laval races to unlock the secret of the legendary triple-Chi armour before Cragger can manipulate its awesome power to threaten the balance of Chima itself!

Laval and his allies will explore Lion Temple, Eagle Spire, Gorilla Forrest, Rhino Quary, Croc Swamp and more as they harness the power of Chi to leap, swing, fly and fight through 15 levels of intense action!

Can Laval discover the truth behind the legend of the triple-Chi before it’s too late?"

Well, It's kind of weird with this whole, "triple-Chi armor thing that apparently has the power to manipulate its awesome power to tip the balance of Chi itself" given the fact that there hasn't been any mention of it before. Anyway, I guess this will be a handheld exclusive, listing only the Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DS, and the Playstation Vita. Click here for a link to the Lego.com page. 

Lego Indiana Jones: 7628 Peril in Peru

Here is my 3rd installment in my Old Set Review series. Peril in Peru was released in 2008 as part of the Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (KotCS) theme. It includes 625 pieces, its suggested retail was $49.99, and was available at Lego.com for just over a year (Summer 2008 - Summer 2009) as a limited edition set. The Panagra Airways plane overall is very nice (it even represents a real Panagra plane), the design is nice, a few rare/uncommon pieces, and an overall nice durability. However, the stickers for the windows on the side don't appear yellow, it's more of a yellow green (when you rub the sticker down so it stays). The cargo and passenger areas are also somewhat cramped, fitting only minifigures with hats/hair when they're sitting down, there aren't seats either. The airport tractor is nice too with plenty of detail. The Russian car is nice too. Now for the minifigures: Indiana Jones:... Well, ok this is getting kind of generic, same hat, same head, same torso, same legs, and, you guessed it, same messenger bag. Irina Spalko: nice hair exclusive to Irina, nice head that doesn't look quite like Spalko, great torso for MOCs, light gray legs are plain but ok. Mutt Williams: some nice hair, nice Mutt Williams head, great torso, and some uncommon dark blue legs. One of two of the exact same two Russian guards included in KotCS sets. Colonel Dovchenko: nice hat, Colonel face!, great torso for war characters, and some tan legs, I also want to mention the gun, it's exclusive to Dovchenko and 7626 Jungle Cutter and is really, really great. Pilot: nice white hat, great tuxedo like torso, and some more uncommon dark blue legs. This set is really nice, and makes a great addition to any minifigure scale plane collection, given the fact that it's based on a real kind of plane.

Hey everyone, sorry this is a little late. Finally the series 10 Minifigures have an official picture! And the figures have been confirmed. Below I'll have my personal thoughts on this series' minifigs!\

Click here to view larger

(from left to right)

- Nerd Girl: She's ok, I like her printed cup and book, nice hair too.

- Old Man: I think everyone just has to love that head piece right? Wrong. Like the newspaper and clothes though.       

- Native American Warrior: Pretty nice, like the mohawk and ax.

- Painter: He's ok, clothes would be great if you're going for a paintball MOC.

- Paintball Gunner: I love the paintball gun, and the clothes look pretty nice as well.

- Ancient Warrior Woman: I really like the shield, spear, and clothes. (Is it just a coincidence or what's the sailor's seagull flying around her for?)

- Sailor: Very nice seagull and hat. Like the shirt too, the binoculars aren't anything special though.

- Ancient Warrior: I like his helmet, the clothes, and the cape. Nice minifigure.

- Catcher: Stackers! I really like the glove and the new hat design is great as well.

- Medusa: Really like the hair and (YES!) finally we have a snake body for Series Minifigures.

- Clown: Pretty nice, I see the black neck piece being helpful.
- Skydiver: .......Uh......Er.... I'm not seeing much with this. Maybe the clothes could be used but, yeah.
- Cool Girl: I completely love the chihuahua and her iPhone, clothes and hair, this is a need. I feel an Apple store MOC coming on.
- Bee Lady: Ok I think this (insert animal name here) Guy theme just gets wackier and wackier!
- "Golden Chase" Minifigure: No official name yet, but it looks pretty neat. I hope it's gold gold color and not ... Gold colored.
Revolutionary Minuteman (?): I don't know exactly what's going on here. When I saw some preliminary images for this I thought he was a judge (series 8) but he still looks like one with the wig but, that gun.. Hmm.
- Motorcycle/Car Repair Guy: Pretty plain but it's ok.
