LEGO Thor: Ragnarok sets & movie poster

The Thor: Ragnarok film was released just a few days ago, and it received mostly positive reviews both from critics and the general public. In fact, it has been referred to by a number of critics as the best film in the Thor trilogy, with particular praise going towards the performances, action sequences, visuals, musical score, and humor. If you haven’t seen it yet, and you like super hero movies, you might want to check it out in a theatre near you. It’s available in standard, 3D, IMAX and IMAX 3D versions. 🙂

To celebrate the release of the film, LEGO posted a LEGO-ized version of the official movie poster at their social media pages, with the caption, “The mighty Thor is prepared to unleash his strength and assemble a team to battle the all-powerful.” I actually like the LEGO version of the poster more than the original!

Also, remember there are also a couple of LEGO sets related to the film. They were released a while ago, and we have talked about them before (see: LEGO Super Heroes 2017 Summer Sets Review), but they just became relevant with the recent release of the film. Now we can understand better what’s going on in each of the sets.

#76084 LEGO THE ULTIMATE BATTLE FOR ASGARD: Fly the Commodore spaceship and team up with Thor, Bruce Banner and Valkyrie to take on Hela, her Berserkers and the Fenris wolf in this exciting LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Ultimate Battle for Asgard set. The Commodore has 2 dual stud shooters and a minifigure-drop function, while the buildable Fenris wolf figure features posable joints for different battle poses. Includes six minifigures with assorted weapons: Thor, Bruce Banner, Valkyrie, Hela, two Berserkers, plus a buildable Fenris wolf figure. 400 pieces. Price: $49.99 – BUY HERE

#76088 LEGO THOR VS. HULK: ARENA CRASH: Role-play an arena duel between Thor and Hulk and then team up with these two old friends to topple Grandmaster. This awesome LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor vs. Hulk: Arena Clash set features an arena with a sliding gate, secret weapons rack, 2 toppling pillars, smash-function wall and an opening prison cell. Use Thor’s super jumper to knock Grandmaster off his throne and Loki off his seat. Includes four minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Thor, Loki, Grandmaster, and a Sakaarian Guard, plus a Hulk big figure. 492 pieces. Price: $59.99 – BUY HERE

The Commodore spaceship is very swoosh-able and fun to play with, and the brick-built Fenris wolf is not bad. My favorite, however, is The Hulk outfitted as a gladiator. Such an awesome bigfig! The other minifig characters are also excellent. And I can also appreciate the gladiator arena better after the release of the film. If you want to check out the sets, they are available at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? Have you seen the Thor: Ragnarok film yet? How did you like it? And what do you think of the LEGO version of the movie poster and the LEGO sets related to the film?

Winter Wonderland Worlds – LEGO contest

LEGO is running another wonderful contest for teen and adult LEGO fans, titled LEGO Winter Wonderland Worlds (see about other currently running contests at the end of this post). As you might have guessed from the title, the challenge is to build a wintery scene to capture the spirit of the season – either within the LEGO Worlds game, or with physical LEGO bricks. Below are the details. 🙂

LEGO WINTER WONDERLAND CONTEST – OVERVIEW: Although it might not be winter outside just yet, LEGO’s ReBrick team challenges you to build the ultimate LEGO winter paradise indoors! Build a diorama or vignette capturing the spirit of the season. You can build in the LEGO Worlds game, using LEGO bricks, or in the digital building software of your choice, such as LEGO Digital Designer. So, get out your winter gear and start building!

A winner who does not return their Winner’s Certification Document within one week (5 days) of receiving it will be disqualified, and a new winner will be selected.

After the fantastic LEGO Ultimate Trains Contest this is another great challenge for teen and adult LEGO fans! I like that there are a number of different ways to enter, and there are really no restrictions on how you interpret what a wintery scene could look like. Also, remember that there are a couple of other LEGO contests that are still running (see below).
