LEGO Monster Fighters, the exciting and intriguing new LEGO theme, is now available at both the Online LEGO Shop and Amazon.com. So far seven sets have been released in the LEGO Monster Fighters theme, and there are rumors of more coming! 🙄

Here are the current LEGO Monster Fighters set. I also encourage you to check out the detailed pictures on LEGO’s website (click on the links or pictures below to get there). They are deliciously evil! 😈

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Swamp Creature: Defeat the Swamp Creature and grab the moonstone! On board his swamp boat, Frank Rock is on the lookout for the Swamp Creature’s moonstone. If the Vampyre gets his undead hands on it first, he could use it to eclipse the sun and plunge the world into eternal darkness! Can he make it past his slimy adversary and snatch the stone? You decide! Includes 2 minifigures: Frank Rock and Swamp Creature.

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Mummy: Stop the Mummy’s chariot and take the moonstone! In her cool helicopter, hero Ann Lee flies after the Mummy making an escape in the ghostly chariot. If she can’t stop the Mummy from handing the moonstone over to the Vampyre, the world will be cloaked in eternal darkness. Help her to stop him! Includes 2 minifigures: Ann Lee and Mummy. The skeleton horses glow in the dark!

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Werewolf: Avoid the treetop ambush and recover the Werewolf’s moonstone! Major Quinton Steele spots the Werewolf’s moonstone under a tree. But it’s an ambush! As he jumps out of his hot rod to snatch it, the sneaky Werewolf pounces on him from the treetops above! Can Major Quinton Steele fend him off with his giant blunderbuss weapon and make off with the moonstone?

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Vampyre Hearse: Stop the hearse and retrieve the Vampyre’s moonstone! The Vampyre and his faithful servant the zombie driver have the moonstone and are making a getaway in the black hearse. Can Dr. Rodney Rathbone catch them on his motorcycle and steal the moonstone? Or will Vampyre launch a surprise coffin attack and send the doctor spinning out of control? Includes Rodney Rathbone, Vampyre, and driver.

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Crazy Scientist & His Monster: Defeat the Crazy Scientist and his Monster at the laboratory! Dr. Rodney Rathbone and Major Quinton Steele have stumbled upon the Crazy Scientist’s laboratory. As our heroes reach for the moonstone, the dastardly scientist zaps his ghoulish monster and brings him to life! Can they escape to their car or will the Crazy Scientist’s Monster win the battle and imprison them?

LEGO Monster Fighters – The Ghost Train: Stop the Ghost Train in its tracks and grab the moonstone! The Ghost Train is getting away with the moonstone. Help Frank Rock and Ann Lee catch it in their acrobatic airplane, suck up the ghosts with the vacuum weapon and grab the moonstone! Don’t let them trap the heroes in the Ghost Train’s prison! Includes 5 minifigures: Frank Rock, Ann Lee and 3 ghosts.

LEGO Monster Fighters – Vampyre Castle: Enter Vampyre’s castle and rescue the world from eternal darkness! It’s time for the final showdown with the Vampyre! He has gathered all 6 moonstones at his castle and is about to cloak the world in darkness forever so that his followers can roam free for the rest of eternity! Will our heroes Dr. Rodney Rathbone and Jack McHammer survive the castle’s hidden spikes and traps to disable the moonstone device?

The LEGO Monster Fighters sets are also available on Amazon, however listings have been getting out of stock very quickly. Make sure you look at listings that are directly from Amazon.com to receive the best prices and free shipping. Below are some of the listings:

The LEGO Monster Fighters theme is a really interesting project developed by LEGO designers. I know monsters, zombies, and evil creatures are very popular with kids (and adults) these days, but only time will tell how successful Monster Fighters will be. What do you think? 😉

LEGO minifigures Olympic Team coming!

About a month ago one of our contributors, Nicolas, wrote about the rumored LEGO Minifigures Olympic Team. (Read here: Limited Edition LEGO Minifigures Olympic Team) Remember that? At that time still a lot of people doubted the validity of these LEGO minifigures, but yesterday I got the official press-release from LEGO, confirming the news. Details below:

OFFICIAL TEAM GB LEGO MINIFIGURES LAUNCHED

To celebrate the London 2012 Olympic Games, the number one selling toy in the UK market is back with an exclusive special edition line of Team GB LEGO Minifigures.

With less than 71 days to go until the UK’s biggest sporting event of the century, for the first time in history LEGO has launched a special edition range of Team GB Minifigures. The collectible range will only be available in the UK to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime event for the nation.

The Team GB LEGO Minifigures spark the sporting imagination, so you can stage your very own Olympic Games. At just £1.99 each, the Team GB LEGO Minifigures will be in stores from 1st July 2012 in John Lewis and other good high street retailers.

There are nine exclusive Team GB LEGO Minifigures in the line-up (you can click on minifig pictures for a larger view):

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Brawny Boxer: Punching his way to the top, this lean machine in blue is ready to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee for Team GB! (A great match for the collectible minifig boxer!)

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – The Stealth Swimmer: Like a fish in the water, the Stealth Swimmer is ready to torpedo through the water into pole position. (That wet torso will be very useful as a sweaty alternative!)

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Relay Runner: Sprinting to reach the winning line, could this give Team GB a relay team victory? (Nice minifigure, and that hair-piece always comes handy!)

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Judo Fighter: Taking down her opponent’s one at a time, this mistress of martial arts knocks down anything in her way to grasp that gold medal.

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Tactical Tennis Player: First on the court in his gleaming whites, this tennis ace will knock the white socks off of any competition.

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Flexible Gymnast: Balance and co-ordination is the name of the game for this agile Olympic contender. (I don’t think a minifig can actually grab a stud like that, but what do I know?)

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Wondrous Weightlifter: Powerlifting his personal best, the crowd looks on as this burley guy weighs up his chances of going for gold.

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Horseback Rider: Riding her way to the last hurdle, this athlete won’t be horsing around when it comes to winning! (Note the nice hair/helmet combo!)

Olympic LEGO Minifigure – Agile Archer: Complete with bow in hand, let’s hope this little fella will be on target on the day! (Superman’s hair in brown! Nice! Also, the face is going to be great for LEGO castle archers!)

The Team GB LEGO Minifigures will be in available from July 2012 in the following stores: Argos, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Hamleys, WH Smith, John Lewis, Smyths, and Toys’R’Us. Happy huntin’! 😉

💡 DID YOU KNOW?

  • LEGO Minifigures are the top selling toy in the UK (February 2012, NPD)
  • The LEGO Minifigure has been around for more than 30 years
  • 43% of households in the UK with boys have bought LEGO Minifigures at least once
  • If all the LEGO Minifigures in the world got together it would be the most populated country in the world
  • Over 4 billion Minifigures have been produced over the last 30 years

I really hope to be able to get at least the boxer from this special line-up of LEGO minifigures. My red boxer from the collectible minifig series really needs to fight someone. Hopefully they will be available on BrickLink. What do you think? Are you planning to get the Olympic minifigs? 🙂
