    Jurassic World 2015 Rumors & Discussion

    Any potential Jurassic World 2 sets would require the creation of their own new thread... ...when the time is right. At this point we're still over a year away from the film release, and I don't take simple "confirmed!" statements to mean we need a new thread any time soon. So let's meet back in November maybe?

    DC Superheroes 2018 - Set Discussion

    It's too early for this. Additionally we ask that only staff create "year" threads so we retain complete editing power over the first page posting. Please do not create year threads. For now, keep the discussion in the other DC threads.

    Predictions for LEGO BrickHeadz Series 2

    We're not doing this again. We are not debating the popularity or lack there of, in yet another unrelated thread, of Doctor Who. Please do not continue to debate this across Eurobricks. This is a Brickheadz wish thread. You wished for Doctor Who, and that's the fullest extent of that conversation allowed here. Thanks.

    Everyone: Last I checked, this was a Marvel 2017 set discussion thread. Talk about the sets--not the trailers, not the speculation, not the off topic conversation. Set talk only please. Thank you.

    Everyone, this is not the Lego Marvel video game discussion thread. Take that over to Lego Media and Gaming. Do not discuss the game trailer here. This is the set discussion thread. Talk about the sets. Thanks.

    2017 City Sets - Rumours and Discussion

    That exclusive jungle set is just stunning in my opinion. I really thought that the Exploration Site would be my favorite, but this drop helicopter set is just amazing. A tiger, crocodile, spiders, flytrap plant, and two motorcycles! Seven minifigures and all that scenery! Plus vehicles?! I absolutely love this theme!

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    FYI everyone, As the new GOTG movie is now out in some places, please be courteous and use spoiler tags when discussing the sets in relation to the film. Not everyone can see the film immediately, so let's try to avoid discussing spoilers in public. Remember if you wish to openly discuss the film, you can do so in the Culture & Multimedia forum. Thanks!

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    When some news shows up! I don't have any insider information on future LBM waves, or if we are even getting anything. Eventually something one way or the other will leak, but there's no set date for stuff like that. News comes when it comes.

    71040 The Disney Castle Discussion

    No fears! This set is absolutely not being discontinued at this time. D2C sets have an average lifespan of two years, and extremely popular ones like the Disney Castle can (and most likely will) stay around for a longer time than that. As for the back order label; its simply on back order. Lego apparently has low stock at the moment, but will evidently have more availabile to ship and sell on the 16th.

    Cars 3 - 2017 Set Discussion

    FYI everyone, as Lego sets for Cars 3 has in fact become a reality, I've renamed this once speculation thread into a full set discussion thread, and have added the appropriate set images and information to the first post. Thanks!

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    That's something better suited for the Minifigure customization forum where you're more likely to get a response. This thread is for official set discussion only. Thanks!

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    I've said this before, but let's try to avoid statements of opinions phrased as facts. That doesn't make them facts. Just because we get an MCU Vulture body does not mean we will be getting a character specific "Adrian Toomes" head, previous comic book set version, new print, or otherwise. Until we can actually see what face print is under the mask, it's foolish to assume we'll get a new, old, or even remotely accurate face print for the character, including however much Lego wants us to use our imagination. We all remember Gandalf Ant-Man don't we? So less talk about assumptions, more set talk about things we can see.

    Star Wars Rebels

    The end is near! It's not really surprising I suppose that season four will be the last, as the storylines have been driving headlong towards that type of scenerio. But like Filoni, I would (and always) prefer that a show can end on its own terms in the appropriate story manner. That said, IGN tells me there will only be 15 episodes (as opposed to 22) so that's somewhat alarming... Although not as alarming as Hot Kallus' new look (and apparent official nickname)! I cannot wait to see where his storyline goes. Appropriately I hope we also see more of Zeb, as he was really shuttled towards the back in season 3. Trailer wise I was honestly disappointed, as there was no big "humpf!" punch to it, and it was largely recap. Good recap, but still. Granted topping Thrawn's reveal from last year was almost impossible. I do find the worrisome (but very much welcomed) inclusion of Warwick's Rukh to be suggestive of Thrawn's possible end, but considering what happens in the EU, Thrawn's fate most likely will be changed to match the Bendu premonition, hopefully.

    LEGO Toy Story 4 sets for 2018!!!

    More importantly, this is entirely just misleading speculation. Until such time we actually know if we will receive any more Toy Story sets (and we don't know if we will), this thread is unnecessary.

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    This is all off topic. This is a Lego Marvel set discussion thread. Don't talk about the movie. Don't talk about dreams and wishes of non-existant polybags. All that stuff belongs elsewhere. Talk about the tangible Lego Marvel sets here only. Thank you.

    Marvel Superheroes 2017 - Set Discussion

    Everyone take a chill pill please. This is getting ridiculous. Whether the film shows a green or blue suit, we've received a blue suit from Lego. So let's discuss the merits of the figure itself as opposed to having a screaming match over the color wheel. Aside: please do not quote pictures. That's my biggest pet peeve; it's unnecessary to have duplicate images on one page. Thanks!

    The LEGO Batman Movie Set/CMF Rumors & Discussion

    Considering this is a discussion forum, and not a text between two friends, let's try to use complete words. I feel like I've had this conversation before. Let's not post anymore trick links. Not a way to stay on anyone's good side. --- This is all off topic. Discuss The Lego Batman Movie sets please.
  24. Please do not continue making thread after thread with no content. And especially do not make more year threads after I specifically say that it is too early for another one.

    Review: 41591 Black Widow

    BrickHeadz is an exciting new Lego theme that depicts our favorite characters from movies, TV shows, games, and comics into fun and stylized collectible forms. Each set contains a brick built figure with a build-able base, that includes a printed tile piece denoting the figure's wave number. Wave one consists of twelve unique and colorful characters based on The Lego Batman Movie, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Pirates of the Caribbean. BrickHeadz is an exclusive theme from Lego, which means that you can only find the BrickHeadz sets at Lego brand retail stores and online from Lego Shop. Before I begin this review, I would like to give my sincerest thanks to The LEGO Group (TLG) who have provided this set, and other wave one BrickHeadz sets, to Eurobricks making this review possible. The opinions expressed in this review are my own. Introduction While being one of the only female Avengers, Black Widow has shown her own in the kicking and pain inflicting department, for which she's been rewarded with a top spot among the first four Mavel BrickHeadz. Lego's 41591 Black Widow also manages to capture the likeness of it's film inspiration--that of Scarlett Johansson--very well, which only adds to the appeal of the figure. But if you're not convinced she's a useful Avenger BrickHeadz yet, read on and let's see if we can change your opinion... Set Stats Name: 41591 Black Widow Theme: Licensed / BrickHeadz Year: 2017 Pieces: 143 Minifigs: N/A Price: USD $9.99, CA $12.99, DE 9.99€, UK £9.99 Resources: Brickset, Bricklink, Lego Shop Packaging As with all BrickHeadz, 41591 Black Widow comes in the standard BrickHeadz box--one that includes a thumb open tap, large BrickHeadz logos, and that wall of ugly text. Still, the blue of the Captain America: Civil War backdrop allows the black and orange figure to pop nicely, as does the image of Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, for which the figure is inspired by. Inside the box you'll find one instruction booklet, two bags--one big and one small--as well as a loose 4x6 black plate which will be used for the figure's base. Interesting Parts 41591 Black Widow is one of the most part heavy BrickHeadz and she also manages to come with numerous desirable pieces in Dark Orange. Most of these dark orange pieces are various slopes, such as 1x2 slopes, 2x2 slopes, and 1x2 arch slopes. Aside from all the standard inclusions (modified bricks in light bley, BrickHeadz eye tiles, and of course the 2x4 wave tile), Black Widow comes with two uniquely printed pieces. The first is a 1x2 brick which depicts her torso and belt design, and the second being two 1x2 tiles in dark blueish grey that are printed with a depiction of her electrified gauntlets. While still being accurate to the character, the gauntlet tiles are generic enough to find numerous uses elsewhere--which is a plus. Build As with all BrickHeadz, the bulk of the building is focused on the head construction--or rather in the case of 41591 Black Widow, the hair. Using a massive number of slopes, tiles and plates Lego has managed to very accurately depict the hairstyle of the character from the Avengers films. Surprisingly, despite the bulk of the hair, I've not experienced the tendency for the figure to tip over backwards, which is unfortunately the case of other large headed figures like 41588 Joker and 41586 Batgirl. In addition to the hair, I found the belt/waist design to be particularity notable, in that Black Widow does not use a 4x4 plate for her main waist piece, as is the case with most BrickHeadz. Instead, she utilizes four black modified 2x2 plates, which allow for the attachment of a rather low riding belt. I'll also note that I found the transition from the main 1x2 printed brick to the adjacent bricks to be very well done. The black and dark bley colors flow really nicely into the print, creating a very streamlined look. And yes, you also build that base too, with only four pieces. Completed Figure First impression--lots of hair! But in a good way. It's been meticulously sculpted and as a result it has turned out to be very reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow. As I just noted, the streamlined feel to the figure is very nice, and her torso print and pieces are used very well. I also particularly like her leg pouches, which add to the character's armed feel. In that regard, Black Widow also comes with two rather generic accessories, 4 length bars in standard black, for her stun batons. Conclusion 41591 Black Widow is a detailed BrickHeadz with gorgeous dark orange hair and great graphic design. She'll be a welcome addition to any BrickHeadz collection. Score Design: 5/5 - Lots of work went into the hair, and it was worth the effort. Parts: 5/5 - Tons of Dark Orange? What's not to love?! Build: 5/5 - Black Widow utilizes different techniques than other BrickHeadz making her build uniquely interesting. Value for Price: 5/5 - One of the most part heavy BrickHeadz, you get the most for your money. My Score: (20/20) A Eurobricks BrickHeadz Reviews: 41585 Batman, 41586 Batgirl, 41587 Robin, 41588 The Joker, 41595 Belle, 41596 Beast, 41589 Captain America, 41590 Iron Man, 41591 Black Widow, 41592 The Hulk
