2013 LEGO sets: Legend of Chima pictures

by Thita (admin) on September 12, 2012

We just talked about rumors of a new 2013 LEGO theme called Legend of Chima just the other day (see: 2013 LEGO Theme Mystery – What is This?), and now the first pictures surfaced. (Thanks Geneva and Jacob for the news!) According to LEGO fan-site ToysNBricks, someone listed a pre-production sample set from The Legend of Chima series on eBay. How the seller got it is anyone’s guess, but the listing gives us a first glimpse at this mysterious LEGO theme rumored to replace Ninjago. 🙄

This set is called #70113 LEGO Legend of Chima – Chi Battles, and consist of two mythical-looking creatures and interesting vehicles. There is also a ball and some kind of a spinner – indicating that this is going to be a set with a game-feature, similar to Ninjago.

This is the back of the packaging showing the Legend of Chima game-feature. Looks like the spinners are operated with a string, and supposed to make things flying. You can also make out some crystals, cards and weapons – again, showing a strong resemblance to Ninjago.

You can also make out another set in the series, the #70002 LEGO Legend of Chima (and I can’t figure out the name). This set also appears to have two minifigures, vehicles and spinners.

Also, please note the back of the Legend of Chima cards. Although a lot of people have been saying that the picture at the recently released LEGO Club Magazine is referring to an upcoming Polar theme (see: 2013 LEGO Theme Mystery – What is This?), you can see that the back of the Legend of Chima cards have the same emblem as in the magazine, and also the crystals. This seems to indicate that the question mark was in fact referring to Legend of Chima and not Polar X-Plorer.

Looks like the seller never sold the Legend of Chima set (probably because nobody was looking for it or knew what to make of it), so if you are interested it may be worth to contact them and see if they still have it.

So what do you think of what we can see so far about the LEGO Legend of Chima series? Do you think it is a worthy replacement of Ninjago? How do you like the characters? And what do you think of the game-feature? Share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Construction Candy for Yummy Building

I found something interesting yesterday on this website that sells bizarre stuff (yeah, don’t ask me how I got there) and I thought to share: LEGO Construction Candy. If you are an avid LEGO fan who needs to have everything around you in the shape of LEGO bricks, you might want to check it out. Here is a picture of the LEGO Construction Candy bricks. 🙂

Cool, huh? The colors of the LEGO candy bricks are kind of muted, but they look quite durable and buildable. As far as edibility, it is candy, so don’t expect it to be good for you. It is basically sugar with artificial flavors and colors. I guess munching on an occasional LEGO candy brick won’t hurt, just don’t eat a whole castle at once!

Here is the official description of the LEGO candy: Construct the perfect bridge, wall, fort, home, then eat it! These ridiculous LEGO candy bricks look pretty close to their plastic counterparts but taste so much better. You don’t have to be a kid to love toys again because you can just eat these suckers if anyone catches you playing on the kitchen table. The handful of LEGO candy bricks that come in each bag are super fun to play with because they construct and attach just like the real thing. – One bag per package. – 2 oz. bag, 56 grams, 25-30 pieces per bag. And the price is $1.99 per package.

There are other ways to make edible LEGO bricks like using melted chocolate in a LEGO ice-cube tray (see: How to Make LEGO Chocolate… Yum!!!), or making LEGO brick shaped gummy-candies (also using the LEGO ice-cube tray). They are of course very yummy, but as far as buildability, the LEGO candy above seems to be the best option (no melting or stickiness).

I could see some fun uses for these… what do you think? What would you build with LEGO candy bricks? Share your ideas below! 🙂
