Lego Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack Reviewed

CaptainNemo’s Iron Man Malibu Mansion Attack

Just in time for the new release of Iron Man 3 comes a new Lego set. This one focusing on what might be the definitive scene from the film. This set comes with 5 minifigs, Tony Stark, Iron Man in Mark 42 armor, Pepper Potts, the Mandarin, and an Extremis soldier. That is a lot of figures for such a set. The Malibu mansion is a super abbreviated version from the film, containing a workshop, hall of armor, and a kitchen. Lego has done a great job with their Super Heroes line. LEGO Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack (76007) is currently for sale on Amazon too.

Captain Nemo over at Eurobricks posted a great review of the Lego Iron Man Malibu Mansion Attack.

Fun fact: Lego spoiled the surprise that Pepper Potts wears the Iron Man armor on the box cover!

Lego Tower Of Orthanc

Lego Tower Of Orthanc, from Brickset

Lego Lord of the Rings gets a new mega set this summer with the Tower of Orthanc (No. 10237). Poor old Saruman will have to live his downfall over and over again. Isengard has never looked better at 2,359 pieces. This will certainly take the majority of a day to build, which is not a problem. The problem is that at 6 floors tall, totaling over 2 feet tall (28in or 73cm), most people will not have room to display this set without having to specifically make room for it. Make sure to check out the the designers video below!

Lego Tower Of Orthanc Details

The Tower of Orthanc will come with minifigs for Saruman, Grima Wormtongue, Gandalf, a random Uruk-hai, and an Orc Pitmaster. Not only that but you will get a rare Great Eagle, and a brick build Ent. You can now reenact all of your favorite scenes, such as the great wizard battle and defeat of Gandalf. One of the rooms of this great tower contains the Palantír of Orthanc (with a light brick!), where Saruman communicates directly with Sauron. You can even reenact Gandalf’s call for help, with a Great Eagle rescuing him just in time. Or, the fall and destruction of the tower as the Ent join battle with the evil Orcs. This set is full of fun details. Hopefully soon, we will get a Treebeard figure that we can add to the battle.

Lego Superman: Black Zero Escape Reviewed

Plissken’s Superman: Black Zero Escape

With Lego having licenses to both DC Comics and Marvel Comics it means that as every new film based on their comics is released, so too is a new Lego set.

Man of Steel, the new Superman film directed by Zack Snyder, is getting its first Lego set. Superman: Black Zero Escape is just starting to hit stores now, with the first sets showing up in Germany.

Plissken of Eurobricks has posted the first full review. A huge surprise is General Zod’s full combat armor. I have a feeling that this set will become a must buy for any scifi builder out there.
