LEGO Star Wars 74535 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT [REVIEW]

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and so it is no surprise that this summer’s wave of LEGO Star Wars sets highlights vehicles and locations featured in the 2005 film, such as the Clone Turbotank from the battle of Kashyyyk. The Separatists join the fun with a new version of the Trade Federation’s Multi-Troop Transport, or MTT, which gets an impressive if somewhat small update with LEGO Star Wars 75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT, which comes with 976 pieces and will retail for US $159.99 | CAN $199.99 | UK £139.99 starting on August 1st.

LEGO celebrates upcoming season 5 of Stranger Things with Brickheadz four-pack [News]

LEGO’s BrickHeadz line has proved to be one of the most enduring ways of collecting brick-built characters from your favourite IPs, with literally hundreds having been given the treatment over the years. With the fifth and final season of smash hit Stranger Things coming to Netflix this November, it’s perhaps little surprise to see LEGO return to the theme to celebrate the occasion. A four-pack of characters from the show’s first season, 40801 Mike, Dustin, Lucas and Will Figures, will hit shelves later this year. 542 pieces make up, as the name suggests, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Will Byer. Although we don’t yet have a confirmed release date, we do know that it will retail for US $39.99 | CAN $54.99 | UK £34.99.

LEGO Gotham City expands with 16-minifigure-strong 76300 Arkham Asylum [News]

It takes a special kind of crazy to be a supervillain, and a special kind of prison to keep the rest of us safe. A good thing, then, that Gotham City has the Arkham Asylum. And from September 12, you can have it too – in LEGO form! 76300 Arkham Asylum has just been unveiled, with 2,953 pieces and 16 minifigures covering both heroes (such as Batman and Robin) and villains (from Mr Freeze to Killer Croc). Interestingly, the press release – which you can read after the jump – indicates that it doubles as a 24-part advent calendar as well as a nice display piece. It’s a tad pricier than your usual LEGO advent calendar, at US $299.99 | CAN $379.99 | UK £269.99, but it can already be pre-ordered ahead of its September release.

Wizard of Oz’s Emerald City gets the LEGO treatment as part of Wicked wave of sets [News]

Something Wicked this way comes… Yes, Wicked, with a capital W! Following the theatrical release of the Disney film last year, another wave of LEGO sets is releasing this September 1. Most interesting among these is 75685 Emerald City Wall Art, a 1,518-piece display set that you can decorate your walls with, yellow brick road and all.

All this will be available for US $159.99 | CAN $199.99 | UK £139.99 from September 1.

Re-live your handheld gaming days with new LEGO Game Boy [News]

It’s barely been a few months since Nintendo launched the Switch 2, continuing their long line of handheld (well, kind of) gaming consoles. Of course, it all started in 1989 (or 1990 in the US) with the Game Boy. The latter is the subject of a new set in the LEGO Super Mario line: 72046 Game Boy, a 421-piece set with a price tag of US $59.99 | CAN $79.99 | UK £54.99. Two buildable Game Pak cartridges are included: Super Mario Land and, although this is listed as part of the Super Mario theme, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening also makes an appearance. You can swap the screen out to reflect which cartridge you’ve got in there, too! You can pick up this icon of gaming from this October 1.

Press Start – i.e. here – to see more pictures of the Game Boy!

LEGO Star Wars 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter: Republic repeat [Review]

Earlier this year, we saw a Republic starfighter that hadn’t been seen in LEGO form for several years hit the market. Now it’s not groundhog day – but on August 1, we are getting another LEGO Star Wars Republic starfighter that hasn’t been seen on shelves since 2008! This time, it’s 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter; a craft that appeared early on in the Clone Wars animated series, but was seldom seen subsequently. With 567 pieces, it has an RRP of US $64.99 | CAN $84.99 | UK £59.99; you might see it on third-party retail sites like eBay or Amazon, too. Let’s see if it will receive a torrent of praise!

Hey folks! Brickbot_Studio here again, back with another Star Wars set  review! Today we’re shifting focus to LEGO Star Wars 75431 – 327th Star Corps Clone Troopers Battle Pack.

LEGO Star Wars 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship: Slave I 2: Electric Boogaloo [Review]

Firespray-class starships appear to be like proverbial London buses. You wait 20 years for a specific one, and then two turn up within three months of each other! LEGO finally re-visited Jango Fett’s Slave I in style earlier this year, with the mammoth 2,970-piece 75414. But if that set’s $330 price tag is putting you off, good news! From August 1, you’ll be able to pick up 75433 Jango Fett’s Starship for a more modest US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £59.99 (and you may be able to find it on eBay or Amazon, too). This one’s only got 707 pieces, but it does feature an extra minifigure for a total of three. Read on to see if you should pick up one, both, or neither…
