LEGO Marvel 76251 Star-Lord’s Helmet from Guardians of the Galaxy revealed [News]

LEGO’s Helmets Collection is rolling along at a brisk clip, having just revealed two clone trooper helmets and Leia’s Boushh helmet last week. Today we’re turning to a galaxy a little closer to home as LEGO is revealing 76251 Star-Lord’s Helmet from the Marvel Infinity Saga. Star-Lord’s helmet is different from most of the other helmets that LEGO has done as it doesn’t have a top, leaving Peter Quill’s hair to blow in the breeze. Rather than fill it with brick-built hair, LEGO has left it open and turned the helmet into a decorative pen holder. Star Lord’s Helmet contains 602 pieces and will retail for US $79.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £69.99 when it’s available April 1.

LEGO 75349: Captain Rex and LEGO 75350: Clone Commander Cody helmets [Review]

The Clone Wars era of Star Wars has been a subject of great interest to fans since Old Ben Kenobi first told a young Luke Skywalker about a time when Kenobi fought alongside Luke’s father. The prequel trilogy teased fans with the start and end of the war but left a pretty big gap in between. This year marks the 20-year anniversary of our first glimpse of what happened during the Clone Wars in the form of an animated series that aired on the Cartoon Network in 2003. Long-time fans of the 2008 animated series created by Dave Filoni will be very excited with the latest characters to join the LEGO Star Wars helmet series: Commander Cody and Captain Rex.

The 2008 Clone Wars animated series, which is now streaming on Disney+ included many episodes where these two clone troopers teamed up with Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin on several missions. Many of the series episodes aired out of order, but Cody and Rex both first appeared chronologically in Season 1, episode 16 titled The Hidden Enemy, which aired on February 6, 2009. Commander Cody has appeared in the new series Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Captain Rex has appeared on Star Wars: Rebels, and Star Wars: The Bad Batch.

LEGO 75349 Captain Rex comes with 854 pieces and 75350: Clone Commander Cody includes 766 pieces. Both will be available on March 1 for US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99 and US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99 respectively.

The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.

The Botanicals Collection has quickly become one of LEGO’s most popular lines.

LEGO ending DOTS theme in 2023 [News]

According to the latest announcement by The LEGO Group, the March release of DOTS sets will be the last, as LEGO ends the theme in 2023. Arguably the most colourful line up of LEGO products (including all 2022 releases) will be available until the end of the year.

Here is the official statement by The LEGO Group:

Dear all,

After careful consideration, we have decided to exit the LEGO® DOTS theme and integrate tile-based play into other themes within our portfolio.

January and March launches of LEGO DOTS novelties will go ahead but also be our last on this theme, with all current items from 2022 remaining active in the product line up until the end of the year.
