Besides the new LEGO Jurassic World sets, LEGO Star Wars Solo sets, and LEGO Incredibles 2 sets (see links at the end of this post), another new set that sort of sneaked in mid-month is the #41611 LEGO BrickHeadz Marty McFly & Doc Brown characters from Back to the Future. Both characters have some nice details and prints, and even though they are very square and brick-built, they are instantly recognizable. 🙂

Doc Brown is in his white overalls with a toolbelt, and holds a detachable DeLorean time machine controller. His hair is white and messy, as it should be, although maybe not wild enough compared to the original character. Marty wears his red puffer vest. I really like how LEGO designers did the details of the vest – simple yet very effective. The shirt underneath is a printed piece. Marty’s only accessory is a camcorder.

The #41611 LEGO BrickHeadz Marty McFly & Doc Brown set is 240 pieces, and is available directly from LEGO at the LEGO BrickHeadz section of the Online LEGO Shop. Various retailers might also carry the set, but I’m not sure which ones. Also, remember that the #41514 LEGO BrickHeadz Owen & Blue set from Jurassic World, and the #41613 Mr. Incredible & Frozone set from The Incredibles are also now available.

For LEGO Star Wars fans the #41608 LEGO BrickHeadz Han Solo and the #41609 LEGO BrickHeadz Chewbacca come separately, but they are another good-looking new pair you might want to check out.

And, coming on May 1st is the #41610 LEGO BrickHeadz Tactical Batman & Superman from Justice League. Both characters are nicely detailed with some very fine printing.

Another LEGO BrickHeadz set I highly recommend is the #41597 LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me customizer kit. Even if you are not into BrickHeadz in general, this set is a great way to practice interesting building techniques while having fun turning yourself and your friends/family into BrickHeadz characters. We talked about the set previously here: LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me Review

LEGO BrickHeadz are very popular with collectors who want to get them all, but it is also perfectly fine to just get a couple of your favorite characters, or get the sets for the interesting parts and building techniques. You can find the currently available sets under the LEGO BrickHeadz section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the BrickHeadz version of Marty and Doc Brown? Do you collect LEGO BrickHeadz? Which ones are your favorites so far? Have you tried the LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me customizer set yet? Feel free to share your thoughts and own review in the comment section below! 😉

The sequel to the highly successful The Incredibles animated Pixar film is coming to theatres this summer (June 15th). Incredibles 2 resumes where the first film ends, with the introduction of the villain the Underminer. Helen, as Elastigirl, continues to fight crime and campaign for the return of “supers”; while Bob, a.k.a. Mr. Incredible, stays at home caring for their children Violet, Dash, and Jack-Jack. But then of course stuff happens as nothing is ever normal with this family. Incredibles 2 is written and directed by Brad Bird, who also wrote and directed the first film, so I expect the sequel to be just as action-packed and enjoyable. 🙂

To accompany the film, we also get three LEGO Incredibles sets under the LEGO Juniors line, as well as a LEGO BrickHeadz set with Mr. Incredible and Frozone. Below are the details about all four sets, and I also included the movie trailer for your reference. Please note that all of the sets are already available at various LEGO retailers and at the Online LEGO Shop.

#10759 LEGO JUNIORS ELASTIGIRL’S ROOFTOP PURSUIT: This action-packed set features a helicopter with Quick Start chassis, spinning hypno-propeller and opening cockpit, a rooftop section with Quick Start baseplate, billboard, helipad and satellite dish, turbine obstacle with spinning propeller, plus Elastigirl’s Elasticycle. Includes 2 minifigures: Screenslaver and Elastigirl with extended arm elements. 95 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE

#10760 LEGO JUNIORS UNDERMINER BANK HEIST: Fire up your child’s imagination for some LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 excitement, with this thrilling Underminer Bank Heist set, featuring a bank vault with breakaway door, Incredibile vehicle with Quick Start chassis, Tunneler machine with Quick Start chassis and spinning drill bits, plus a street build with brick wall, wanted poster and buildable streetlamp. Includes 3 minifigures: Mrs. Incredible, Mr. Incredible, and Underminer. 149 pieces. Price: $24.99 – BUY HERE

#10761 LEGO JUNIORS THE GREAT HOME ESCAPE: This exciting set features a house facade with Quick Start wall and baseplate, moving fireplace with secret control panel, waterfall with capture function, a pool area, lounge chair with catapult function, plus a buildable car with Quick Start chassis and removable catapult.

#41613 LEGO BRICKHEADZ MR. INCREDIBLE & FROZONE: These LEGO BrickHeadz Mr. Incredible & Frozone construction characters are fun to build using colorful LEGO bricks that recreate all their iconic details from Disney Pixar’s blockbuster Incredibles 2 movie. Each character stands on a buildable collector’s baseplate with BrickHeadz logo for easy display in your home, office or anywhere you like. Each character stands over 2” (7cm) tall without baseplate. Baseplates measure over 1” (4cm) square. 160 pieces. Price: $19.99 – BUY HERE

It is interesting that LEGO choose to release all of the Incredibles 2 sets under the LEGO Juniors line. This means that the sets are super easy to build even for younger kids (LEGO Juniors is recommended for ages 4-5). While all the pieces are regular LEGO elements, vehicles and buildings include what LEGO calls Quick Start elements – larger pieces that replace more complex assemblies.

Although the sets may not be interesting to older LEGO fans because of the juniorized building experience, LEGO Juniors sets do have one very appealing feature; all the decorated pieces you see in the sets are printed instead of stickered. Particularly nice are the “Wanted” poster, car hood, bank vault door, and soda can top in the #10760 LEGO Juniors Underminer Bank Heist set, and the various interior decoration pieces in the #10761 LEGO Juniors The Great Home Escape.

LEGO Juniors characters are standard minifigures, so if you would like to add the Incredibles heroes and villains to your collection, here is your chance. Between the three sets we get Mrs. Incredible (in regular form and Elastigirl form with long bendy arms), Mr. Incredible, Violet, Dash, an adorable Jack-Jack baby figure, the Underminer, Brick, and Screenslaver.

Besides the LEGO Incredibles 2 building sets, there is also going to be video game coming in June to  PC, Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The new LEGO The Incredibles game will cover both the original and sequel with action packed levels full of fun and adventure. The teaser trailer below gives you a taste of the game, which is already available for pre-order on Amazon: LEGO INCDREDIBLES GAME ON AMAZON
