LEGO just officially announced a brand new direct-to-consumer set at the Time to Play Holiday Showcase in New York City and via online media outlets. The #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker’s Manor will be available via official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop on Black Friday, November 24th. Details below. 🙂

Here is he official description of the set: Dare to enter The Joker Manor! Help Batman Barbara Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth (in his classic Batsuit) and Nightwing regain control of the jokerized Wayne Manor with this massive set from The LEGO Batman Movie. The Joker Manor is packed with iconic details from the movie and cool functions, including a rollercoaster encircling the whole building, a huge buildable The Joker head with trapdoor and slide, punching boxing gloves, a rocking ‘The Joker’ sign and rotating ‘big eye’ tower. The interior includes a cinema room with a romantic DVD element, kitchen with buildable microwave plus lobster and lemon-slice decorated tile elements, living room with a buildable grand piano, fireplace and bust, swimming pool room, and a music studio with guitar element and buildable mixing desk and loudspeakers. Build this magnificent manor and then recreate your favorite scenes from the movie with 10 included minifigures. The Joker Manor measures over 21” (55cm) high, 25” (66cm) wide and 10” (27cm) deep. Rollercoaster train measures over 1” (3cm) high, 5” (15cm) long and 1” (3cm) wide. 3,444 pieces. Recommended for ages 14+.

The set includes 10 minifigures: The Joker, Batman, Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Alfred Pennyworth Classic Batsuit, Disco Batman, Disco The Joker, Disco Batgirl and Disco Robin. (Disco Batman, Disco The Joker, Disco Batgirl and Disco Robin minifigures are unique to this set.)

The Joker’s Manor features a grand entrance flanked by 2 buildable bombs with translucent spark-style elements, 2-level and 3-level towers with turrets and flag elements on top, a rollercoaster track and train with 3 cars (each with a minifigure seat), rotating ‘big eye’ tower with lever-operated iris to ‘look’ up and down, huge buildable The Joker head with trapdoor and slide, rocking ‘The Joker’ sign, ‘Ha!

You will be able to get the set at official LEGO retail stores and under The LEGO Batman Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

It is interesting that this set pretty much came out of the blue. There were no leaks or even rumors about it. I guess LEGO fans have been too preoccupied with all the other recent large LEGO releases, like the #75192 LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, the #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store, and all the awesome sets related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Nonetheless, the #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker’s Manor looks whimsical and very fun, and perfect for recreating some of the most memorable scenes from The LEGO Batman Movie. Below are a few additional pictures of the interior.

What do you think? How do you like the #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker’s Manor? Is this a set you are interested to get? Or are you saving up for one of the other large sets that were released this year? Which one is your favorite set so far from the two LEGO films this year? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Ninjago City modification ideas

by on September 25, 2017
in LEGO Modular Buildings

The recently released #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set is considered by many LEGO fans as one of the most interesting, fun and unusual LEGO sets of all time. It is basically an entire city mashed into a LEGO Modular Building, with crazy amount of detail and unique building techniques. If you want to absorb yourself in the LEGO building experience and enjoy every minute of it, and end up with a model that oozes with all the playfulness and creativity LEGO is known for, this is the set to get. 🙂

In our previous discussion of the set (see: LEGO Ninjago City Review & Modular Buildings), we talked about how #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City fits together with the LEGO Modular Buildings – an obvious choice if you already own some of the sets from the collection. And, while the set is not an official LEGO Modular Building, LEGO designers did include the standard LEGO Technic brick and pin connections of the Modulars, indicating that they intended it to be compatible with the series.

The LEGO Technic brick and pin connections on two sides do make the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set easily snap together with any of the LEGO Modular Buildings to form a corner structure. However, the elevated sidewalk and the water of the canal don’t line up with the layout of the LEGO Modular Buildings without some modification. This allows LEGO fans to have even more fun with the set, and use their creativity to work out some solutions. In the picture above, you can see the unaltered connection of the set with the Modular Buildings by JANGBRiCKS (more details here: LEGO Ninjago City Review & Modular Buildings), and below, I will show you some examples of blending the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City together with the LEGO Modular Buildings and other LEGO City settings.

➡ LEGO NINJAGO CITY CONTRACTION: Rather than expanding the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set, LEGO fan masterbrew decided to strip out some of the best parts for a smaller display. This strategy brings up an interesting point; you can take parts of an official LEGO model for a different kind of display than everyone else would have, or use smaller sections of a set as starters for your own custom creations. The now discontinued LEGO Master Builder Academy series offered many such starter models, and discussed how to work with them. And you can get inspiration not just from official LEGO sets, but from the projects, ideas, and discoveries of other LEGO fans.

➡ LEGO NINJAGO CITY BLENDING: LEGO fan jcsum is a master of blending together the LEGO Modular Buildings with structures and landscaping from other LEGO themes, as well as custom models. In the pictures above, you can see the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set next to the LEGO Modular Buildings, and also notice the recently released #21310 LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store tucked in the corner of the layout. See more pictures here: LEGO NINJAGO CITY BLENDING

➡ LEGO NINJAGO CITY EXPANSION: Instead of just blending in the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set with other buildings, how about expanding its funky and fun style and build more structures in a similar vein? LEGO fan Ooer did just that and added a whole other section of stacked up little shops and apartments. You can see more pictures of this project here: LEGO NINJAGO CITY EXPANSION

As you can see, there is lots of fun to be had with the #70620 LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set. You can build and display it as is, take off sections, build up new sections, add it to other buildings, and customize it to your heart’s content. This is not a set that you will build once and just put on a shelf. It practically begs you to tinker with it, keeping you engaged for a long time. If you don’t have it yet, you can find it under The LEGO Ninjago Movie section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City set? Have you built it already? Or are you planning to get it? What modifications you have done or planning to do? Are there any other interesting customizations you have seen by others? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
