LEGO Superman Battle of Smallville 76003 Released in Stores Man of Steel

I dropped by my local LEGO Store in Peabody, MA today to pick up my first handful of LEGO Minifigures Series 10 blind bags (which are officially released today!), and was lucky enough to get my first look at three sets just released in stores: the LEGO Superman Man of Steel sets! I knew these would have to be out soon (as the Man of Steel movie opening is June 14th), but I had no idea they were already in stores. I even got to hold the Black Zero Dropship in my hands, and it gave me a real surprise…

CODE NUMBER LIST: Star Trek Kre-O Blind Bags Figures Series 1

Star Trek Kre-O Figures Series 1 Case of Blind Bags

When Hasbro first started bringing out their Kre-O line of building toys two years ago, I seriously thought the line was a third-rate, doomed LEGO wannabe. Over the years I’ve warmed toward the Kre-O line as whole, mostly because of the ultra-fun Kre-O Transformers and GI Joe figure blind bags that Hasbro has been releasing. So when I heard Hasbro had picked up the Star Trek: Into Darkness movie license and would be producing movie Star Trek Kre-O blind bags, I was pretty psyched. And though I’m not entirely thrilled with the figure lineup, I picked up a set and have the Kre-O Star Trek Series 1 codes numbers list to share…

Warcraft Mega Bloks Goblin Shredder Review 91045

Posted on by
Warcraft Mega Bloks Goblin Shredder on the Attack

Warcraft Mega Bloks are in a sort of transitory state. MEGA Brands seemed to think that World of Warcraft would be the instant blockbuster license for them that Halo Mega Bloks is, but production seemed to far outpace actual sales. This year, World of Warcraft Mega Bloks production has apparently been cut way back, while the quality of the items released has gone way, way up. Case in point, the World of Warcraft Goblin Shredder 91045. If I could summarize the review of the Mega Bloks Warcraft Goblin Shredder in one word, it would be “fun”…

It’s been a slow news week for LEGO collectors, but today we’ve finally got something fresh, new, and totally unexpected to talk about: the LEGO Legends of Chima Croc Swamp Hideout 70014 Summer 2013 set!

Warcraft Mega Bloks Creature Pack 3 Review: Green & Blue Murlocs

Posted on by

World of Warcraft Mega Bloks got off to a strong start last year, boasting some of the most well-executed Mega Bloks figures ever created. But as amazing as the Orcs, Tauren, Elves, and Worgen figures were in that first series, it felt like the line was missing a little something. And it was, in the form of some of the fantastical, non-humanoid creatures that inhabit the World of Warcraft. MEGA Brands is rectifying that this year, as the 2013 World of Warcraft Mega Bloks series includes an entire set of just Creature Packs. I couldn’t live without having all three sets instantly, and the first of the trio I’ll be reviewing here today is the Mega Bloks World of Warcraft Creature Pack 3, featuring green and blue Murlocs–and a mystery creature…
