Lego Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059) Officially Revealed

Lego just released new details on their newest Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Sandcrawler (75059). This being an upgrade to the 2005 Lego Sandcrawler (10144). There will be 7 minifigures (Luke Skywalker, Uncle Owen, C-3PO, and 4 Jawas) plus 6 droids (R2-D2, an R2 unit, an R1-series droid, Gonk droid, R5-D4, and the Treadwell droid) included. With a total of 3,296 pieces and a price tag of $299.99. This thing is big.

The final design of the Sandcrawler contains a whole lot of exposed studs. It looks like a lot of SNOT techniques are used to achieve some of the odd angles but Lego opted to not hide the studs. Giving the Sandcrawler a more messy appearance then expected. The final model is almost entirely made up of shades of brown. Keeping with the source material. So if you are looking to rapidly expand your collection of brown bricks, this will be the set for you.

The new Lego Sandcrawler is not just a brown box. The Lego designers have squeezed an impressive amount of features into the design. With 2 fully working cranes, knob based steering, 6+ opening panels, and a whole lot of hidden barrels and storage space. The treads on the Sandcrawler are especially notable and should prove popular with the tank building crowds.

Collect a true icon of the classic Star Wars™ universe — the mighty Sandcrawler™!

Recreate unforgettable scenes from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope with this amazing LEGO® incarnation of the Jawas’ desert-going vehicle, the Sandcrawler™. Turn the knob at the rear and steer the Sandcrawler into position, lower the front ramp and offload the droids using the 2 working cranes. Luke Skywalker™ and his Uncle, Owen Lars, are sure to be impressed with the selection on offer: there’s R2-D2, an R1-series Droid, an R2 unit, R5-D4™, a Treadwell Droid™, Gonk Droid™ and even C-3PO™. When the sale is complete, lift the side panels and top to reveal more great features inside, like the engine, storage bay, cockpit and more. There’s even a speeder bike for when the Jawas need to venture outside. Includes 7 minifigures: Luke Skywalker™, Uncle Owen, C-3PO™ and 4 Jawas™, plus R2-D2™, R2 unit, an R1-series Droid™, Gonk Droid™, R5-D4™ and a Treadwell Droid™.

Lego Ghostbusters (21108) CUUSOO set officially revealed!

“I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us.” — Dr. Ray Stantz

It seems that the upcoming Lego Ghostbusters (21108) CUUSOO set will be upon us sooner then expected. At the recent Toy Fair (2014), Lego officially revealed details and photos for the new set. The Lego Ghostbusters (21108) will be available for purchase in June 2014 with a retail price of $49.99. The set will include a very slick looking Ecto-1, and the Ghostbusters themselves: Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond “Ray” Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore. The original design was done by Brent Waller, and most of his ideas have been persevered here (except for the Firehouse, which is understandably missing).

Not only do the Minifigures have an uncanny resemblance to the Ghostbusters, but the Ecto-1 is almost perfect. It features some SNOT building techniques that really help to preserve the iconic look. A few noticable details are the beautiful Lego blue hoses, and the whip accessory in black.

“This fun and iconic vehicle from the blockbusting ‘80s movie is fully loaded with all the paranormal detection equipment needed to track down those ghastly ghosts. It also features cool Ghostbusters logo decoration, removable roof, tracking computer and seats for 3 minifigures.”

Lego Simpsons House Officially Revealed (71006), with Design Video

Lego has officially announced set 71006: The Simpsons House. With 2,523 pieces and 6 minifigures the $199.99 price tag is a little bit cheaper then most people expected. If you need a whole lot of beige, teal, and brown this set would be a great one to part out. The most surprising reveal is the release date, expect to see these around this February. Also, coming this spring will be a full Collectable Minifigures series, and a special Lego Simpsons episode in May.

The Lego Simpsons House (71006) will include minifigures for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie Simpson and next door neighbor Ned Flanders. They have a fully decorated interior to play around in. With a family room, kitchen, garage, Bart and Lisa’s bedrooms, the Master bedroom, and two bathrooms. Even the iconic pink station wagon is included. The whole set is modular with removable roof, and floors. Also, the house can open to the side with hinges.

Lego has put a whole lot of references and detail into this set. With Krusty the clown posters, Radioactive Man comics, Bart’s red hat, a TV with Itchy and Scratchy playing, family photos, a plutonium rod, borrowed furniture, El Barto graffiti, etc. This attention to detail is awesome and really helps to sell the Simpsons House. The biggest problem that Lego has here is that the minifigures are a hard sell. They made a decision to include weird half open “tired” eyes on four of the minifigures. Although it adds some personality to the playset everyone ends up looking like they are stoned. Argh. If I had to guess why Lego did this, I would say that the “open” eye minifigs will be in the upcoming Simpsons Collectable Minifigure series. Having to rebuy four minifigures at $2.99 is asking a lot. Ay, caramba!

Check out the official Lego Designers Video to see the Simpsons House in action. They spend a good amount of time showing the design process for the minifigures too.

The Lego Simpsons House (71006) Box Details

Carlos S is back with another leaked photo from the upcoming Lego Simpsons House (71006). This time showing off what looks like the back of the box. Showcasing all the details and features. The interior is fully furnished which greatly adds variety to the more plain exterior. All the famous rooms are here. The family room with couch and TV, the kitchen, the various bedrooms, and even a nicely detailed garage. The pink car that the Simpsons drive is even present. 742 Evergreen Terrace certainly looks interesting. Lego has never really released something like this.

Revealed: The Simpsons House (71006) in Lego!

An official Lego Simpsons theme has been rumored for a while now. It seems that the current plan is to release one huge Simpsons themed set in 2014, and a whole wave of collectible minifigures. The good news is that huge set has just been revealed. Carlos S, of Eurobricks, recently leaked a box photo of the Simpsons House. This is a huge set. With 2523 pieces and 5 minifigures it is looking like this set will be priced around $200-$250. Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and Flanders are all included with unique head sculpts. The translation from 2D to 3D can be a little funny, but these figures look very similar to the popular Simpsons Action Figures from 2001-2004.

This theme is being marketed to teenagers and adults. Which means that the build is detailed. The whole house will be modular with removable floors and roof, and can even be opened from the side. What is inside are currently unknown, but if you look at the leaked box photo closely, you can see that it will be furnished. The details here look to be very accurate to the show. Check out the photo below from the television show for comparison.

Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to watch a million Simpsons episodes on DVD.
