I received the May/June issue of the LEGO Club Magazine a few days ago, and found some interesting content I thought to share with you, in case you are not a subscriber. (You can sign up here if you like, it is free in most countries.) So let’s see what we got! 🙂
First of all, there is a page dedicated to the upcoming LEGO Minifigures MMO game. Here is what it says: “LEGO Minifigures Online is an epic online game for the PC and tablet devices where you can adventure together with thousands of other players. Travel to locations such as Pirate World and Space World with the minifigures you’ve collected, and use your characters’ unique special abilities to explore, team up and battle. LEGO Minifigures Online is in Open Beta testing on the PC right now (NOTE: well that’s what they say in the magazine, but Open Beta is actually not until June – see here). We’re inviting LEGO Club members to come and play it before it’s finished, and share your feedback with the design team so they can make it even better!” They also ask you to choose the LEGO Club Exclusive Minifigure for the game that only LEGO Club members will be able to play (you can vote here). Also, did you notice that awesome looking pirate on the picture? I wonder if he will be a character in Series 12 of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures? What do you think?
On the very next page is a picture of some of the really cool minifigures from the LEGO Ultra Agents sets coming out this summer. We haven’t had a chance to see them this up close and personal before, so I found this pretty interesting. Here are the villains from left to right: Infearno – an updated villain from the previous LEGO Agents theme from 2008/09. Toxikita – a dangerous looking female villain. Tremor – the coolest badguy and also my favorite minifigure from this theme. Retox – Toxikita’s henchman. Psyclone – who would want to fight this guy? Noticeably absent from the group-photo is Adam Acid and Terabyte. I guess we will have to wait to see a close-up of them. As far as the agents, from left to right we have: Jack Fury – any relation to the villain Rex Fury from the LEGO City Undercover video-game? Caila Phoenix – what an awesome name! Solomon Blaze – possibly an older version of Solomon Blaze from LEGO Galaxy Squad? Max Burns – he is the youngest agent. Curtis Bolt – he looks like the tech-guy on the team. The only team-member that we are missing is Christina Hydron, the team’s scientist. To be honest, I think that the villains are much cooler than the agents, and that the agents have no hope to save Astor City from complete destruction. 😈
Continuing with our LEGO Club Magazine goodness, on the following pages you will find information on the next wave of the wacky little fellas called LEGO Mixels! There is a description of each of the tribes, and each member of the tribe. FANG GANG: That chomping sound you hear is the Fang Gang, munching on anything and everything in sight. With full stomachs, they’re fun and playful… but a hungry Fang Gang is a Crazy Fang Gang, so watch out! FLEXORS: Natives of the Western Sproingy lands, the Flexors’ minds are just as elastic as their bodies. They love riddles and word games, so you look forward to a battle of wits whenever you meet one. FROSTICONS: Masters of the power nap, the Frosticons might seem like they are most interested in sleeping the day away. That’s because they are. But give these icy Mixels time to get up and start moving, and they can put a real chill in your day. Interesting isn’t it? My favorite tribe is the Fang Gang, but I also really like the others. These should be available in June.
Then, here is an interesting picture of the upcoming LEGO City Arctic sets with the following caption: “LEGO City explorers reach Arctic! What dangers will they find? What secrets will they uncover? Are they prepared for polar bears? Yeti: fact or fiction?” I think it is a good story, and don’t those huskies look great?
At the back of the LEGO Club Magazine you will find a super cool action-shot of the #70814 Emmet’s Contruct-o-Mech. Looks AWESOME, isn’t it? And it will include Angry Kitty! Can’t wait! 😀
There is a lot more in this issue of the LEGO Club Magazine, but these are just some of the highlights I found interesting. There are also cartoons for LEGO Star Wars fans and LEGO Super Heroes fans, some tips from LEGO Master Builders about how to get inspiration, stuff for LEGO Ninjago and LEGO Chima fans, and also fun games and quizzes. Also, depending on if you are a boy or a girl, the magazine includes a special insert with more games and comics; one is based on LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles and the other is on LEGO Friends.
So what do you think? Did you find any of the information interesting? If you have gotten your own magazine already, did you notice any other interesting tidbits? Feel free to discuss in the comment section below! 😉
And you might also like to check out the following related posts:
Toys R Us in Downers Grove, Illinois has the back row end cap full of the new Lego Ultra Agents and let me tell everyone, they really are pretty cool sets including the mini figs which everyone will love. They have them and our actual Lego store does not so jumping the gun a little bit.
Is this your first article, Cameron? If so, congratulations!
It is actually his 8th published article. He just sent me in his contributors page, which I should be able to set up this upcoming week. 🙂
Oohhhhhhhhh. I haven’t seen his name before.
I don’t have time to find them all, but once his contributor’s page is up you will be able to check them all out. He is a very good writer.
I’m really looking forward to the Arctic and Ultra Agents. 🙂 The Mixels are cool, too, I like the Frosticons. And the summer TLM sets are coming out in June. 🙂
Also, yesterday I got Darth Revan and the poster. They were in a large box, so i think something else came, but I don’t know what. 😕 Also they came with a little card, that had a smaller picture of the poster on it, did anyone else get that? No one has really mentioned it… 😕
Hm… interesting abou the smaller picture. I was not aware of that. Is it like post-card size?
Yes, and it shows Luke handing Vader a card saying “Happy I am Your Father’s Day”, and at the bottom describes a…wait let me get it…Ah, it says “share the Force”, and talks about participating with Lego Star Wars and the Force-o-meter. On the other side it shows the poster. 😉 I wonder why nobody mentioned it. 😕
I saw a stack of them when I got my poster from my local LEGO store. I commented to my mom, who was there with me, that the image on the card was the same as on the poster, and the brick specialist who was there didn’t think I was right, but he opened up the poster he’d given me, and proved me right. Here’s an image of the card, for those not familiar with it: http://toysnbricks.com/share-the-force-dark-or-light-side/
Brad, thanks for sharing that! You should replace the brick specialist! 😀
Funny you should mention that, as my mom has suggested I try to get a job at my local LEGO store. I think I’d love it. 🙂
I just signed up for the MMO! can’t wait!
I’ve tried subscribing to the Club magazine, but they never send it to me.
🙁 Oh well, at least I can see it here.
Did you call LEGO about it? I would suggest you do that. You can also see back issues on the LEGO Club website. But is is also fun to get it in the mail.
MY brother subscribed to it and should have gotten 2 mags by now but they haven’t come. Luckily I have been getting it for awhile so he can look at mine. 🙂
IIRC, they took down the back issues feature quite a while back. Too bad though, especially for fans who don’t have the privilege to live in North America, Europe or Oceania…
I just noticed that… why did they take them off? 😕
Hey admin, some reviews of the Ultra Agents sets have surfaced. Is a post coming sometime soon? Hopefully?
The Brick Show has some:

I hope this link works
Yay! it worked! 🙂
We have talked about the sets just recently, so I don’t think I will do another post until the official release. You can join the discussion here: http://thebrickblogger.com/2014/04/lego-ultra-agents-pictures-more/
Good article! That MMO actually sounds very good. I will be checking it out together with my daughter once it’s out of the beta-fase.
The Agents minifigs look absolutely awesome!
I haven’t gotten the issue yet, so I’m guessing I’ll receive it somewhere this week.
Yeah, the Agents are really-really cool. I just saw a review-video showing a close-up of Terabyte and almost fainted how cool he was! His helmet is amazing! 😛
My son is six years old
And he has dreams
Of
Being a
Lego master builder!! I
Would like
To get theses
Magazines for him.
Bradley, the LEGO Club Magazine has been discontinued and replaced by the LEGO Life app. You can call LEGO directly and see if they have any of the older magazines left, but other than that, you can just download the app, which has similar content.
