LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets – more images!

As we get closer to the re-release of Ninjago this December, more and more exciting news is coming out. We have discussed the Ninjago Rebooted poster, as well as showed you images of three of the 2014 Ninjago sets. (See: LEGO Ninjago 2014 – First Minifig Spotted! and LEGO Ninjago 2014 Sets – First Images! ) And now there is more! There is another poster that appeared in the Australian LEGO Club Magazine and shared by EuroBricks member Delta 38 here. The poster shows the 2014 Ninjago sets and characters in great detail and amongst lots of action! Also, a Swedish toy-retailer named Brixit revealed images of the remaining 2014 Ninjago sets. So let’s check them out! 🙂

➡ #70720 LEGO NINJAGO HOVER HUNTER – This is the smallest of the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets, including a hovercraft-like vehicle with a circular saw at the front. From the color combinations it appears to be a badguy vehicle belonging to the Nindroid). The two minifigures included are Cole and a Nindroid. Cole’s weapon is particularly nice.

➡ #70724 LEGO NINJAGO NINJACOPTER – Included is the really awesome looking NinjaCopter with plenty of firepower, as well as two small vehicles for the badguys. There are four minifigures in this set: General Cryptor, a Nindroid, Zane (who seems to be in really bad shape with all his Nindroid parts sticking out) and a new female character name Pixal, who also appears to be non-human.

➡ #70725 LEGO NINJAGO NINDROID MECHDRAGON – This set is very-very interesting. Looks like the two brothers switched places and while Garmadon turned good, Sensei Wu joined the side of evil. One positive result though is that Wu’s white beard regained a robust black color – perhaps he turned to the dark-side to regain his youth and the affection of Misako?

Evil Wu is riding the absolutely huge MechDragon, and is assisted by two Nindroids. Fighting them is a worried looking Sensei Garmadon along with the ever-determined Lloyd. Poor kid! He is from a really mixed up family! The two of them are riding in a hopelessly small vehicle that looks like will be shredded to bits in no time by the saw-blades of that dragon! 😕

You can three images of three other sets at LEGO Ninjago 2014 Sets – First Images!, and there is one more 2014 Ninjago set we don’t yet have pictures for the #70726 LEGO Ninjago Destructoid. We shall see how that will look like! So what do you think of the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets? And how about the minifigures and the story?

LEGO supercar charity-auction ends soon!

by Thita (admin) on October 10, 2013

in Community News

Today I would like to bring to your attention a charity-auction run by LEGO fan Paul Boratko. Paul is well known in the LEGO fan community due to his amazingly detailed LEGO supercars. His LEGO models have been featured in magazines, at museums and LEGO shows, and on many websites. You can check out his models at his website CrowKillers.com, his LEGO projects on CUUSOO, and his eBay auctions where he sells some of his best LEGO models as well as instructions. 🙂

Paul is currently auctioning off one of his LEGO supercars, with all proceeds going to Brayden Yorchak, a 6-year-old child who was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Ependyoma on August 2nd, 2013. He underwent surgery on August 4th to remove the growth, however Brayden still needs to undergo weeks of radiation treatment to ensure the best possible outcome. All of the money raised through the auction is going to help Brayden and his family during this difficult time.

Below are the details of the custom LEGO supercar up for auction for this charity event. This is considered one of Paul’s best and most detailed designs: LEGO Technic 2013 Vampire GT Supercar “Daywalker” Edition

Constructed from over 1,900 brand new LEGO elements
White body with custom two-toned chrome/chrome-red LEGO wheels
Some of the white LEGO elements on this model are scarce and are no longer in production making this model extremely unique and one of a kind
The scale of this model is 1:10. The size is 17″ long x 8″ wide x 4.5″ high (43.2cm long x 20.3cm wide x 11.4cm high)
Opening/closing gull-wing doors
New styled 5-speed transmission with reverse
Dash-switch lets you easily select rear-wheel or all-wheel drive
Working “Hand-of-God” steering with working in-car steering wheel
4 Wheel independent suspension
If you are the winning bidder, the supercar will come shipped to you fully assembled and ready to display

If you are interested in this LEGO charity-auction, you can find it on eBay at the following link: Crowkillers Custom LEGO Technic 2013 Vampire GT “Daywalker” Supercar for Charity. Please note that there are only a few days left before the auction closes. You can also check out some of Paul’s other eBay listings with his LEGO supercar designs. Some of them are fully built models, others are instructions only. You can check them out here: Custom LEGO Supercars by Paul Boratko on eBay

LEGO charity-auctions are a win-win for everyone. The winning bidder receives an awesome LEGO model while knowing that the money raised will help someone in need, and the model-builder also gets the satisfaction of helping out through their hobby. As the holidays draw closer there will be other LEGO fund-raising events. The LEGO community is very generous at heart and runs such events every year. Look out for updates on other opportunities where you can help by donating your time, money, LEGO sets, or even custom-built LEGO models.
