Lego Ideas International Space Station set 21321 revealed



Lego has finally revealed their latest Ideas set which is the ISS. It was previously seen in a flyer distributed by the Nuremburg Lego Store.

These are all the images that have been revealed:












I think this looks really nice, the printed pieces look great as well, the design team and the original builder definitely did a great job on it. But it does look kind of fragile. While the microfigures are not new, I think they are a really nice addition to the set.

This set releases on February 1st 2020 and will retail for USD $69.99.

Koruit Star Wars 8 Pack Trooper Minifigures set KT1035 revealed


This is the list of minifigures in the set:

XP-270 - Shadow Stormtrooper
XP-271 - First Order Stormtrooper (Translucent Blue)
XP-272 - Captain Phasma
XP-273 - Shadow Stormtrooper (Translucent Blue)
XP-274 - Clone Trooper (Phase 2)
XP-275 - Clone Trooper (212th Attack Battalion)
XP-276 - Darth Vader (Translucent Blue)
XP-277 - Clone Trooper (442nd Siege Battalion)

I think the figures here look really cool but I am not sure why the orange clone trooper has a stormtrooper helmet. The blaster moulds are definitely nice to get as well and the translucent blue figures would work great as holograms.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes Black Widow Movie set revealed | Black Widow's Helicopter Chase set 76162


 A Black Widow movie set has been revealed after images of 2 of the figures in this set surfaced a few days ago.

This could be the only set based off the movie or there could be a second set which hasn't been revealed yet. The aforementioned set being Lego set 76151 which is a Marvel Super Heroes set.

But anyway here are the images:









I think the set itself isn't that bad, the figure selection is great and the helicopter though small is good as well. 
Taskmaster is definitely the weakest out of the 3 figures, he does not have leg printing and his accessories suck a lot. Not sure why they couldn't just give us a proper sword piece and a printed shield. I get why they went with the gauntlet piece but it just doesn't work. But still this is a fine set.

Lego Creator Expert Old Trafford - Manchester United set 10272 revealed


A new creator expert set for 2020 has been revealed, it's the build of a stadium which is not something we see quite often.

These are all the images that have been revealed:













It looks like the stadium build can be separated which is definitely great. I think the stadium build looks very well done and I really like how the seats look.

In addition, the people who purchase this set will get a GWP. It includes the Red Devils minifigures and a stand.


It looks like the promotion is only exclusive to the China but maybe the rest of the world will get the same promotion as well, it is unclear at the moment.

G Brand/Xinh Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker & The Mandalorian 8 Pack Minifigures Mix 2 set G0102 revealed


G Brand aka Xinh has revealed their second Star Wars set. It mostly consists of Mandalorian minifigs. 

This is the list of minifigures in the set:

0009 - Rey
0010 - Boba Fett
0011 - Obi-Wan Kenobi 
0012 - Jango Fett
0013 - Mandalorian
0014 - Mandalorian
0015 - Mandalorian 
0016 - Mandalorian

So most of the designs of the figures in this set is copied from the official Lego versions of the minifigs. I believe Boba Fett's design is not copied from the official Lego version and Rey has a different hair piece which might be because Xinh does not want to spend money on a new mould.

Jango Fett and Boba Fett are definitely the best figures in this set, while the rest of the figures are very easy to get your hands on. It would be nice if Xinh makes more custom Star Wars minifigs instead of copying Lego figures.

WM Star Wars The Mandalorian w/ Baby Yoda Minifigure set WM899-A & WM916-A revealed


These figures are not new, they are part of two different sets (WM6085 & WM6082) which has since been updated to include Baby Yoda. This is WM's Baby Yoda design, Kopf also revealed their Baby Yoda design at around the same time.

But anyway these are the 2 "updated" Mandalorian figures:


WM899-A from set WM6082 - The Mandalorian (Episode 1 & 2)


WM916-A from set WM6085 - The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor)

I think the Baby Yoda design looks okay but I prefer Kopf's version of Baby Yoda. They used the same body and cape piece for Baby Yoda as Kopf but they have a different head design. Though Kopf does not have the Beskar Armor Mandalorian and their 2 Mandalorian figs are less detailed than WM.


WM Star Wars The Mandalorian 8 Pack Minifigures set WM6085 revealed


Finally, a full set of Mandalorian minifigures based off the show. 
There are a lot of Mandalorian figures in here I don't recognize, but these are the ones that I do:

WM916 - The Mandalorian (Din Djarin)
WM917 - Mandalorian 
WM918 - Mandalorian
WM919 - Mandalorian
WM920 - Mandalorian 
WM921 - Mandalorian Blacksmith 
WM922 - Kal Skirata 
WM923 - Boba Fett White Armor 

These figures look great and very detailed. I like the design of the Mandalorian Blacksmith's helmet, looks really cool. If you are a fan of Mandalorians, this is definitely a great set to get.

Kopf Star Wars The Mandalorian Baby Yoda set KF1331 & updated set KF6111 revealed


Kopf has revealed their design for Baby Yoda. It will be sold individually and also be included with The Mandalorian in an existing set which has been updated to include Baby Yoda.

This is how the updated Mandalorian looks:




 This is how the updated set looks like:


The Baby Yoda figure is a modified Lego baby piece with a new head and cape. The size looks accurate for minifigure scale. I think Baby Yoda looks great and hopefully more brands will make this figure and improve upon the design.
