35.5 inches Avengers Tower LEGO set comes with 31 superhero minifigures

Posted on by

The LEGO Marvel set has been in the rumor mill for a very long time now, and the wait is now over. LEGO Group has finally unveiled the 76269 Avengers Tower set which is the biggest ever Marvel-themed set released. It is also the first ever modern set to have 31 minifigures in total. The set is slated to launch on November 24 for a price tag of $500. For those who buy it from November 24 to November 27, the set will come with the complementary LEGO Marvel Taxi gift that includes a New York taxi, taxi driver, Black Panter and Outrider minifigs.

This LEGO set created as a part of the 60th anniversary of The Avengers also clocks the milestone of being among one the tallest sets when fully put together. Just for reference, it is taller than the 76178 Daily Bugle set measuring 35.5 inches in height. At first glance, you’ll instantly recognize the Quinjet, Leviathan and two Chitauri flyers from the 2012 Avengers Assemble. The interior on the other hand has scenes depicted from the Infinity Saga, Age of Ultron party and Endgame.

Designer: LEGO Group

Talking of the minifigures, the noticeable ones include Tony Stark, Iron Man MK7, Captain America, Thor, Ant-Man, Loki, Hulk, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and many more. From the lot, however, it’s strange not to see some characters like the Quicksilver minifig. The set also includes brick-built Dum-E although the press release has no mention of it.

The LEGO set has a removable roof and side panels to recreate any of the scenes on the individual floors and keep monotony at bay. At the top of the structure, you can build the Quinjet and the Lego Chariot that can be hooked onto the tower. The Leviathan can be positioned standing outside the tower. For those who already own the smaller Marvel sets including the Daily Bugle and Sanctum Sanctorum, these sets can be attached to the baseplate (32 stud) of this colossal set to create a stunning diorama.

The Last Jedi Gets an Epic 100,000 Piece LEGO Diorama

Posted on by

One of the more memorable scenes in The Last Jedi was The Battle of Crait. Now someone has replicated the scene in LEGO form. That someone must be one of a handful people that actually enjoyed the movie. I know it wasn’t me. Still, this LEGO diorama is awesome. Builder David Hall did a great job on this super detailed diorama.

It took Hall around 13 months to complete this thing since it has over 100,000 LEGO pieces. The scene has a pair of highly-detailed First Order AT-M6s walking toward the resistance’s fortress, two AT-ATs, two TIE Fighters, and some First Order Stormtroopers, all led by Kylo Ren’s shuttle. I may not have liked the movie, but this is a LEGO masterpiece.

Hall did a great job with the broken white salt plain with red ‘soil’ beneath, it looks really good. In fact, all of the details are really nice throughout this scene. The entire structure can broken down into eight smaller sections so that it can be transported easily, which is good because it will be at the BrickFair convention in March in Charlotte, North Carolina if you want to see it for yourself.

Hall has posted some week-by-week build videos on his YouTube channel, which are worth checking out too. Amazing build, David!

This LEGO Game of Thrones Diorama Would Even Satisfy Cersei Lannister

Posted on by

While everyone is waiting for more Game of Thrones on HBO, and for George R.R. Martin to finish his next book, we need something to occupy our time. How about this awesome LEGO version of the Red Keep Throne Room from Game of Thrones?

It was created by Chicago software engineer Matt Omori, who spent over a year building it. This is a stunning build to say the least, and a must see for any fan of the TV series and books.

In the second video, you can get a behind the scenes look at how he brought it to life. I wish I had this kind of talent with LEGO. I am always excited to see what people are going to create next with the building blocks.

Actual Side-Scrolling LEGO Super Mario Bros. Diorama

Posted on by

We’ve seen plenty of Super Mario Bros. dioramas, but most of them just stand still. Not this one. Jason Cichon created an actual moving side-scroller based on the classic Nintendo game, using LEGO bricks as his medium.

It took Jason eight days to build this after designing it and waiting for the parts. While we don’t know anything about its inner workings, I would guess that this would be a complicated build for most of us. Jason says that he had a few challenges to get it working smoothly, but he is happy with the results. Check it out:

It is a great moving diorama that any fan would be happy to display in their home. It is too bad that we can’t buy one like it off the shelf.

Did you know that Metroid turned 30 this year? Time flies when you are battling parasites and other nasties. Well, for the anniversary, Jared Rosenblitt built this awesome diorama recreating the big boss battle with the Parasite Queen.

For those of you who don’t know, this is the very first boss fight in the Game Cube classic, Metroid Prime. Rosenblitt showed off his LEGO creation of the battle at Brickfair Virginia 2016 earlier this month.

This is an awesome recreation that is sure to bring back memories of a classic gaming moment. Be sure to check out Beyond the Brick’s video of its maker talking about the build below:

Fan-made LEGO Arkham Asylum: Where’s Waylon?

Posted on by

LEGO fans – and LEGO itself – love to create dioramas of Batman’s headquarters. But Flickr user Dayton aka Forgotten Days turned his attention to the villainous hive that is the Arkham Asylum.

Dayton says he’s wanted to build the infamous hospital for years. He finally made his dream come true after 2 years of planning and about 4 months of building. The whole thing is made of about 18,000 pieces and measures 52 x 98 x 55 studs.

Dayton finished it in time for this year’s Brickvention, the biggest LEGO convention in Australia.

I hope Dayton hid a bunch of Riddler trophies in there.

Street Fighter The New Challenger Ken & Chun-Li Light Up Figures: LP+LK

Posted on by

Earlier this year, BigBoysToys launched its Street Fighter The New Challenger line with a kick ass Ryu figure. The toy maker has stayed busy and has since released a Ken figure and a Chun-li figure. Like Ryu, both collectibles have light up effects integrated into their respective diorama stands.

You can pre-order both figures from Play–Asia for $90 (USD) each or as a bundle for only $160. BigBoyToys said that the The New Challenger line will eventually have 12 classic Street Fighter characters “plus some secret challengers”, as well as larger stands that can fit two characters. I think it would be awesome if they made a model of the car from the bonus stage too.

Star Wars Scenes Each Made from a Single Sheet of Paper: Cut Scene

Posted on by

Marc Hagan-Guirey aka Paper Dandy specializes in kirigami, a variation of origami that allows for cutting paper as opposed to just folding it. Marc and his skills became well known when his haunted house kirigami went viral back in 2012. But even before he became famous, Marc was already working on his Star Wars collection. He’s finally finished the geeky kirigami and is ready to share it with the public, but he needs your help.

star_wars_kirigami_by_paper_dandy_1zoom in

Marc’s Cut Scene is a collection of 12 Star Wars-inspired models, each made from a single sheet of A4 paper. Marc carefully cuts and folds each sheet, then installs them in light boxes to create beautiful panoramic silhouettes.

So why is Marc raising funds for Cut Scene if he’s already finished the paper models? You see, art galleries usually ask for a portion of an artist’s profits in exchange for hosting their work. But Marc isn’t affiliated with Disney or Lucasfilm, which means he can’t sell his models. No sales, no cut for the gallery, no exhibit. That is, unless he can pay the gallery up front. Hence the Kickstarter.

You can pledge at least £5 (~$8 USD) on Kickstarter to help Marc. Higher pledges will get you various rewards, such as high resolution images of the paper models, a photo book or even an invitation to a private viewing of Cut Scene.
