LEGO Batman Penguin Face-Off 76010 Review & Giveaway!

LEGO Penguin Duck Boat Review LEGO 76010 Batman The Penguin Face-Off

I asked fans over on the Bricks and Bloks Facebook page whether they wanted me to review the just-released LEGO Batman The Penguin Face-Off set or the LEGO Star Wars Kashyyyk Troopers set, expecting a solid victory for the new Kashyyyk Troopers. Instead, the LEGO Batman Penguin Face-Off 76010 set absolutely blew the Star Wars set out of the water! And thus, I’m not posting my first 2014 LEGO Batman review. But that’s not all! Since you guys were so enthusiastic about the Penguin Faceoff, I’ve decided to make that the free March 2014 giveaway here on Bricks and Bloks! Read the review, then enter the contest!

2014 LEGO Marvel X-Men Sentinel & Storm Prototype Images!

2014 LEGO Marvel Sentinel and Brown Wolverine Minifigure

Seeing as how we’re not likely to see the winter 2014 LEGO Marvel sets hit store shelves for at least another month yet, it stands to reason that we probably wouldn’t be seeing any LEGO Marvel Summer 2014 sets prototypes for a long time yet, right? Well… no. The biggest toy event of the year–the 2014 Toy Fair–is just one month away, at which we should see the entire summer LEGO 2014 sets lineup. But before Toy Fair 2014 comes around, we can already get our first glimpse at some preliminary prototypes of the upcoming X-Men LEGO Marvel Sentinel and Storm minifigures…

LEGO Batman Batcopter Rope Holding Nightwing Minifigure

I’ve been talking about the LEGO 2014 sets for so many months now that it feels almost surreal to actually have some of the sets in my possession. The first batches of 2014 LEGO sets have started hitting stores, and I built my first one this week. Though LEGO DC Superheroes isn’t usually among my favorite themes, when I saw the LEGO Batman: Man-Bat Attack 76011 set, I instantly fell in love. Does the set hold up now that I’ve had it in my hands and built it? Read the 2014 LEGO Batman Man-Bat Attack review to find out…

With all the LEGO leaks springing lately, LEGO is lucky it isn’t a ship–because it would be sinking! Once again, one of the upcoming LEGO Winter 2014 sets has appeared, and it’s another DC LEGO Super Heroes set! While none of the characters in this LEGO Batman set are “new” exactly, this is the sort of army-builder set many collectors have been waiting for. Coming in 2014–LEGO Batman The Penguin Face Off 76010!

Though I talked about the 2014 LEGO 76012 The Riddler Chase set when it was unveiled at SDCC 2013, I figured it was time to give it some more attention now that hi-res images of the set are abound…

2014 LEGO Batman The Joker Steam Roller 76013 Box

It took a little bit longer than I was expecting it to, but images of the last of the four LEGO Batman 2014 sets have finally made their appearance online! I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the LEGO 76013 Batman: The Joker Steam Roller set when it was first rumored, but little by little it won me over as various minifigures in the set leaked out. Even so, I thought that LEGO The Joker Steam Roller 76013 was going to be an easy pass for me–until I saw hi-res images today and discovered a LEGO Batman minifigure I just can’t live without…

For a decade Marvel fans have had to glare jealously as other franchises like Batman, Star Wars and Indiana Jones got video games.

2014 LEGO Batgirl Minifigure Photo Revealed LEGO Batman DC Superheroes

Last week we got our first gander at some of the LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets via some images that K-Mart accidentally leaked. But once you’ve plugged the first leak, it’s hard to keep them from keeping springing!

LEGO SDCC 2013 Green Arrow & Azog Minifigure Price MADNESS!

2013 SDCC LEGO Azog Minifigure Exclusive

Move over Mr. Gold! There’s a new king of the LEGO Minifigures mountain, and it’s a real shocker! Given away for free to some lucky attendees at San Diego Comic Con 2013 last week was an ultra-limited LEGO The Hobbit Azog Minifigure. The minifigure was given away randomly, and couldn’t even be won by raffle like the LEGO Super Heroes could. The result? The most expensive LEGO Minifigure yet–the LEGO Azog Minifigure is now selling for $1500+ on ebay! But while Agog may be the new king, LEGO Green Arrow and friends can’t exactly be considered “cheap” either…
