Lego Elves: A Friendly New Theme for 2015

Lego has a new theme in the works, titled Lego Elves. It is a mix of 1/3 Lego Friends, 1/3 Lego Disney Princess, and 1/3 Disney Fairies. The upcoming theme has had 4 of its sets officially revealed. There are still two more coming. If you look around you can find preliminary images for all of the these sets, including Box artwork. Check back here for more official artwork as it is revealed.

The new theme will include the following sets:

Aira’s Creative Workshop (41071)
Naida’s Spa Secret (41072)
Naida’s Epic Adventure Ship (41073)
Azari & The Magic Bakery (41074)
Treetop Hideaway (41075)
Fairan & The Crystal Hollow (41076)

It looks like these new sets will feature some new elements, and new color options of existing pieces. Lego Elves will be released in 2015.

Fairan & The Crystal Hollow (41076) will include a Male figure, some nifty transparent pieces, a green key, and a cute woodland animal.

Aira’s Creative Workshop (41071) will include a flying machine, workbench, and a small aviary.

Naida’s Spa Secret (41072) gets a purple dolphin (?), a book, and other relaxing accessories.

Naida’s Epic Adventure Ship (41073) will include a sleek ship, a white clam, two gold clams, and a beautiful sail.

New Lego Disney Princess Sets for 2015, Including Frozen

Lego has had a massive hit with their Lego Friends theme. They quickly expanded it to include a new Disney Princess theme, and an upcoming Elves theme. The first wave of Disney Princess is currently on shelves, and a second new wave will be released in 2015. This release will include the super popular films Frozen and Aladdin. These new sets will more then likely sell out quickly.

Lego Disney Princess, Elsa’s Sparkling Ice Castle (41062) is based off of the Ice Castle in Frozen and will include Elsa and Anna. There is even a Lego Olaf.

Lego Disney Princess, Sleeping Beauty’s Royal Bedroom (41060) is the smallest set and features the famous spinning wheel.

Lego Disney Princess, Jasmine’s Exotic Palace (41061) is a small set that features Aladdin’s Jasmine and the cutest Rajah. The Gennie’s lamp is also hiding out.

Lego Disney Princess, Ariel’s Undersea Palace (41063) is the big set for the theme. Featuring Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder from the Little Mermaid.

Usually these Lego Friends, and Lego Princess sets can be found on the “girls” isle at stores. Although some places (like Target) have been placing these with the rest of their Lego sets. Hopefully more stores will do this, as it makes finding these sets a whole lot easier.

Thanks to just2good and The Brick Fan for some of this early information.

The Ultra Violet, a Deadly Lego Friends Mecha

The official Lego Friends sets can be a bit limiting. They are completely rooted in a city theme, with no signs of expanding into the other Lego themes (Pirates, Space, etc.) A great way to work around this is to create your own Lego creations. One of the best features about Lego is just how modular the pieces are, almost every Lego part can be used with another Lego part. Mark Stafford used his imagination and created a sci-fi themed Lego Friends mecha titled the Ultra Violet. The best part of these MOCs is the innovative use of obscure Lego pieces. Check out the pink baskets, lipsticks, telephones, lightsaber beams, and wood panels. Check out the Friends section for more examples of this.

The Paradisa Viper: Lego Friends Remix

There has been a trend developing of creating Lego MOCs with Friends theming. This means usually sticking to a pink and purple color scheme, but some of the best (the Lovely Hotel) add other details. DJ Quest has created a Battlestar Galactica Viper, with the Friends theming, titled Paradisa Viper – Friends Remix. Here the color highlights and other details work extremely well. If you look carefully you can see a standard Lego Minifigure in the cockpit, I wonder if a Lego Friend figure could fit.

Lego Friends Hardsuits: Blacktron and M-Tron themed Power Armor

Science Fiction and the Lego Friends make for a strange combination that works well. Flickr user, colgs3b, has been building a whole series of Hardsuits for the Friends. These mechas appear to be in scale with the other Lego Friends figures. But you wont find them tending horses of farming. Although they may train in Karate during their off time. The first of the Hardsuit Friends is Blacktron Olivia. Using theming elements from the classic Lego Blacktron, Olivia looks like someone you would not want to mess with.

Olivia is not fighting alone. Her mother is also on the front lines wielding a massive gun and a deceptively friendly pink and teal paint scheme.

Hardsuit Stephanie is also present. With a purple and teal and yellow suit. Stephanie appears to be able to fly. Making her extremely dangerous.

When in danger the strongest Hardsuits are needed to hold the front line. Here M-Tron Mia is ready to defend against anything. Make sure to be very careful as her magnet technology is extremely deadly.

Lego Friends Mech, Bone Crushingly Cool

The Lego Friends have been finding themselves in all sorts of Lego MOCs lately. Especially in the Space or Science Fiction theme. Bermudafreze, of Flickr, has build this deadly Lego Friends Mech. The Mech features a gatling gun, a massive clamp, missiles and bone crushing treads. In fact the treads are especially nice, built out of ball joint pieces. That idea looks great in this build. This mech unit is ready for whatever is thrown at it.

Friendly Fire with these Lego Friends Cyborgs

These Lego Friends inspired cyborgs are the creation of Larry Lars. Who has been refining the robotic body for a few years now. Which has paid off well with these awesome cyborgs. The first one (white, black hair) was created in 2012, while the newest (white, red hair and blue) are from 2013. The compact building style looks extremely delicate, but the end result is worth it. This is a great example of the Lego telephone being put to use. These Lego Friend Cyborgs look like they could fit into a Masamune Shirow manga (Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell).

Lego made a smart move by allowing the Lego Friends figures to fit into the Lego System. This allows the various body parts to be mix and matched with other Lego pieces. The Lego Minifigure style hair can be used on the Friends figures. This greatly expands the available hair styles for your figures. Here the Lego Friends head has been matched with the anime style Minifig hair from the Exo-Force theme.

These new Lego Friends sets will be released in 2014, and it looks like they will be out in the spring or summer. The new Lego Disney Princess theme is also being released soon, so keep an eye out.

New Lego Disney Princess Theme with Ariel, Cinderella, Merida, & Rapunzel

Lego has announced a new theme which combines Lego Friends, and Disney Princess. This has all the signs of being a massive success for Lego. The first wave of new releases is focusing on a select few Disney Princesses. There will 6 sets in this theme; featuring Ariel, Cinderella, Merida, and Rapunzel. The design of the new Lego Disney Princesses is based on the Friends figures. This means that they will be interchangeable with Lego Friends, and their hair pieces/accessories will be interchangeable with the Lego Minifigures.

Lego Disney Princess, Ariel’s Amazing Treasures (41050) features a little Lego Flounder, and treasures from the surface world.

Lego Disney Princess, Ariel’s Magical Kiss (41052) features Ariel and Prince Eric taking a romantic boat ride.

Keep and eye out, as all of these new sets will be officially released in 2014.

Lego Friends Castle + Superheroes + Orcs = Friendsington Castle

At first glance the Friendsington Castle looks like a normal friendly Lego Friends castle. But, then you notice some of the details such as the Orcs and Troll, or the redecorated Batcave, or even Jack Sparrow. Friendsington Castle is a weird blend of Lego Friends, Superheroes and other Lego themes. There is a certain charm to the madness. Created by fujiia in collaboration with Kloou for the Fana’Briques 2013 expo.

“An ordinary day at Friendsington Castle. Despite the naughty Orcs’ constant attacks, our Friends prefer to develop their artistic senses with little regard for those poor Superheroes.”

One of the most surprising details is under the castle. It looks like the Lego Friends have spent a lot of time redecorating the Batcave. Turning it from a dark and gloomy cave into a bright and clean place for cats. Even Batman’s Tumbler has been completely repainted. Now featuring a green and yellow scheme. Batman is probably less than enthusiastic about these changes, but may be even more upset that Wolverine seems to have found his way into the cave. Superman seems to be without pants, and Spiderman has just gotten a wild hairdo. This is just a sample of the crazy going on here.
