LEGO Super Heroes Age of Ultron minifigs

by Thita (admin) on March 9, 2015

As we have discussed previously, the 2015 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron sets were just released this month. This wave of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is particularly strong with some excellent sets. LEGO Super Heroes have been known for excellent minifigures but mostly weak sets, so it is nice to see that LEGO was finally able to strike a good balance. Having said that, in today’s article we will discuss the minifigures in the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Age of Ultron sets, just because it’s nice to see all of them together (photo below by Gnaat Lego). We will talk about the sets themselves at another time. LEGO Super Heroes minifig collectors should be very-very happy with this wave. 🙂

LEGO Super Heroes Age of Ultron Minifigures by Gnaat Lego

LEGO SUPER HEROES AGE OF ULTRON – THE AVENGERS: In the video-review below by the BrickShow, you will see all of the Avengers from the 2015 The Avengers: Age of Ultron film in minifigure form. There are two Ironman minifigs (Mark 43 and Mark 45). The Mark 45 only comes in the #76029 LEGO Super Heroes Iron Man vs. Ultron set, and the Mark 43 appears in the #76038 LEGO Super Heroes Attack on Avengers Tower, the #76031 LEGO Super Heroes The Hulk Buster Smash, and the #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase.

Other Super Heroes we get in this wave are Thor (comes in two sets; #76038 LEGO Super Heroes Attack on Avengers Tower, #76030 LEGO Super Heroes Avengers Hydra Showdown), Black Widow (comes in two sets: #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase, #76042 LEGO Super Heroes SHIELD Helicarrier), Scarlet Witch (only in the #76031 LEGO Super Heroes The Hulk Buster Smash), Vision (only in the #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase), Captain America (comes in three sets; #76041 LEGO Super Heroes The Hydra Fortress Smash, #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase, #76042 LEGO Super Heroes SHIELD Helicarrier), Quicksilver (only in the #76041 LEGO Super Heroes The Hydra Fortress Smash), Hawkeye (comes in two sets: #76030 LEGO Super Heroes Avengers Hydra Showdown, #76042 LEGO Super Heroes SHIELD Helicarrier). Then of course we have The Hulk in the new olive-green color with printed purple pants – he appears in two sets; #76041 LEGO Super Heroes The Hydra Fortress Smash, #76031 LEGO Super Heroes The Hulk Buster Smash). Also, they are not on this video as they only appear in the Ultimate Collector Series #76042 LEGO Super Heroes SHIELD Helicarrier, but for the sake of completeness we should mention the Nick Fury and Maria Hill minifigs.

LEGO SUPER HEROES AGE OF ULTRON – THE ULTRONS: I have to say that these minifigs look absolutely fantastic, as you will see in the video-review below by the BrickShow. If you like the Ultrons, the best way to acquire them is with the #76029 LEGO Super Heroes Iron Man vs. Ultron set, which is only $13 and includes 2 Ultron Sentries and an Ultron Sentry Officer. The Mark 1 Ultron with the super cool translucent head appears only in the #76038 LEGO Super Heroes Attack on Avengers Tower. Ultron Prime comes only in the #76031 LEGO Super Heroes The Hulk Buster Smash. And Ultimate Ultron appears only in the #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase.

As you can see, the minifigs in this series of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets comes with tremendous amount of detail: front torso printing, back torso printing, leg printing, dual sided heads… what more could we ask for? As I said; these are a LEGO Super Heroes minifig collector’s dream come true! And it is also nice that the sets they come in are excellent in their own right. The #76038 LEGO Super Heroes Attack on Avengers Tower, the #76031 LEGO Super Heroes The Hulk Buster Smash, #76032 LEGO Super Heroes The Avengers Quinjet City Chase are particularly noteworthy. You can find all the new LEGO Marvel sets at the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO Super Heroes Age of Ultron Avengers and Ultrons? Which one is your favorite minifigure from the new lineup? Do you have any of the new sets already? Feel free to share your own review and thoughts in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO mugs for minifigures & humans!

by Thita (admin) on March 8, 2015

in LEGO Sales & Deals

We normally don’t talk about LEGO gift items, except around the year-end holidays, however LEGO just released something that is too good not to talk about: human sized LEGO mugs! If you have been around LEGO long enough, you know how iconic mugs are in LEGO sets. The minifig-size LEGO mug was first introduced in 1979 and since then have appeared in hundreds of sets in many colors. It is pretty much a staple item in all LEGO City sets. Minifigs seems to have a serious coffee addiction, especially the LEGO police chief who is practically inseparable from his red coffee mug. Or maybe it is hot chocolate? Or tea? Or soy-milk? The point is that mugs have been around just as long as minifigs, and they are practically inseparable. 🙂

I’m really surprised that it took this long to get a human version of the iconic LEGO mug. LEGO have been releasing various cups, mugs and other kitchen accessories, but never one with the shape and style of the minifigure mug. But now we can finally join our minifigs in their coffee addiction!

The new human-size LEGO mug is more than 10 times larger than the ones you find in your LEGO sets and perfect for when you need to take a break from building. They measure over 5” (13cm) high, 3” (10cm) wide with handle, and 3” (8cm) in diameter. And if you get more than one mug, you can stack them to save storage space. The mugs are currently available in blue and translucent purple at the Online LEGO Shop, and I have also heard that there is also a red version at official LEGO stores. They are made of ABS plastic and are rated safe for 95 Celsius or 203 Fahrenheit. They are also microwave and dishwasher safe. You can get them under the home accessories section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Another new item in the home accessories section that is worth mentioning is the #40154 LEGO Pencil Pot. LEGO regularly releases brick-built pencil-holders and other desk accessories, and this is their latest version. It’s a nice little house that features a removable roof, 2 minifigs, and 3 rooms for storing your pencils, pens, rulers, erasers, etc. It makes a nice little gift item for both kids and adults. You can find it under the home accessories section of the Online LEGO Shop.

And there is one more item I wanted to show you; the LEGO Notebook with Studs. This is not the first LEGO notebook or journal with some studs for a building surface, however what is particularly unique about this notebook is the included 1×1 letter tiles in assorted colors! These letters tiles only appeared in black previously and they are a highly sought-after item – great for adding signs, names, etc. to your LEGO creations. I’m very happy to see that the tiles are now finally available in some other colors! The 6×24 stud green baseplate and the 2×2 tile with the LEGO logo (for the clasp) are also unique to this notebook. I also really like the cover. The notebook is hardcover with lined pages, and there is a minifig outline at the bottom corner of each page. If you want to check it out, it is available under the home accessories section of the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO mugs? Are you planning to get one for yourself so you can join your minifigs in their world? Or are you planning to get one as a gift to someone? And what do you think of the pencil-holder and notebook? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
