LEGO Sets are arguably the most enjoyable building toy available. LEGO Bricks know no age barriers and have some of the most loyal fans of any product.
In recent years, The LEGO Group has expanded its reach into other areas besides just Building Blocks. Now you can find LEGO in many other forms such as LEGO Video Games and LEGO T-Shirts. Thankfully, however, the LEGO Group remains focused on producing the best product in their class.
Star Wars LEGO
Star Wars LEGOs are still by far the most popular of LEGO themes so you will see many more posts on RareBricks.com that are geared towards the Star Wars LEGOs system. RareBricks will also keep an up to date list of all Star Wars LEGO figures.
The LEGO Tantive IV 10198 is a pretty big set with some nice mini figures included. The concept of the Tantive IV is that it is a blockade runner. It is the very first ship to make an appearance in the Star Wars saga of films and has been masterfully recreated by LEGO.
The ship includes an opening cockpit, a removable roof section and an interior command center. There are also two detachable escape pods which are very cool. The cockpit fits two LEGO mini figures.
The five Star Wars mini figures included in this set are Princess Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Captain Antilles and a Rebel Trooper.
LEGO Batman has been around for quite awhile but has picked up a lot of fans since the Dark Knight film's success. There are not very many Batman LEGO Sets that have been created, at least not compared to other themes that LEGO has been working. I'm not sure of the reason for that as the Batman theme does seem to have quite a fan base.
I have enjoyed a few of the Batman LEGO Sets that are out there like Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck system in particular. The Batcycle included with that set is awesome and the included Harley Quinn mini figure is sweet, especially the exaggerated weapons.
Another great set to pick up is the Arkham Asylum LEGO Batman set. It's a pretty rare LEGO set and is in pretty high demand. I love all of the mini figures that are included with this one. It's got seven minifigs total and all of them are very collectible. The build is awesome to with three seperate buildings that are very playable. There is a small prison (dungeon?) in one building that has a spot for all of the major Batman villains and a place where the wall breaks away and the Riddler escapes. Much more playable than some LEGO themes.
Hopefully the LEGO Group will keep creating Batman LEGO Sets. There is definitely a demand and there is an opportunity for fan crossover of Batman fans to turn into LEGO fans.
A sweet new version of the famous Millennium Falcon makes its way to LEGO in mid-scale. LEGO probably wants to make sure that every household in America has a LEGO Millennium Falcon. Why else would they release a third version of the Millennium Falcon for the New Hope line of Star Wars LEGO Sets? This set is much cheaper than its cousins coming in at around $45 USD.
The LEGO Millennium Falcon 7778 is much smaller than the other two versions and is much easier to build. To many fans of LEGO that actually like to play with their LEGO sets, this version of the Falcon will be much easier to handle and shouldn't hurt to bad when cousin Joey loses the satellite piece in the lawn.
I saw this LEGO set at the Mall of America a few days ago and had to get it. It's well worth the money and a great display set that does not take up near as much room as the other two Millennium Falcons.
A very cool set and it includes a pair of Wookie mini figures! If you don't like Wookies you are not at the right site. The Battle Droids are fairly common but the Spider Droid is a must for Star Wars LEGO collectors. Get the Wookie Attack 7258 for the Wookie mini figures.
The LEGO Group has released the Pirate Tank 7753 LEGO set for the LEGO Clone Wars series. This is a unique set because it has mini figures that rare pretty much exclusive to this set. It does come with Obi-Wan Kenobi but the two aliens are destined to be rare LEGO collectibles.
The Pirate Tank is very different from other LEGO Clone Wars sets as the Pirates have nothing to do with either the Seperatists or the Republic. These Pirates answer to nobody and pilage and plunder with no regard. The tank itself rolls on hidden wheels and is a very good rendition of the Clone Wars movie.
LEGO Video games are nothing new to LEGO fans or gamers. At the beginning of this year there were quite a few rumors about a possible LEGO Rock Band video game and while many people are saying that it probably isn't a good idea to combine the two many LEGO fans are pretty enthusiastic about the idea and so are Rock Band fans.
LEGO has been doing a great job in recent years of getting LEGO into just about everything, from building toys to t-shirts to video games. The LEGO Group has come a long way from being unwilling to create a LEGO theme from an already licensed trademark to now wanting to be a part of everything. This bodes well for LEGO fans as it allows our favorite hobby to get the attention it deserves.
LEGO Rock Band should be released sometime later this year around christmas time.
Here I have compiled a list of online resources that offer custom Halo LEGOs instructions for those who want to get started building their own custom Halo creations! Money is tight so buying custom Halo LEGO creations on eBay isn't always realistic. Use these links to find instructions for to build Halo sets out of your own LEGOs at home!
Halo LEGOs are definately in for you hard core Halo fans. The LEGO sets are pretty easy to build when you consider the pieces involved in the Mars and Space LEGO sets. LEGO Halo Minifigs are even easier of you have a little bit of patience and some paint!
The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel 7257 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith LEGO Sets and was released in 2005. This LEGO set includes the Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi Star Wars LEGO Mini Figures. The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel 7257 LEGO Set does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase through LEGO.
The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel 7257 LEGO Set is one of my favorite Star Wars LEGO Sets because it's so interactive! You can actually play with a friend. The different parts of the system all work well together and it's also a great "background" set.
The Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid 7256 Star Wars LEGO Set is part of Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith LEGO Sets and was released in 2005. This LEGO Set has Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2's head. The Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid does not appear in a search at LEGO.com and may no longer be available for purchase through LEGO.
The Jedi Starfighter and Vulture droid is a fairly rare Star Wars LEGO Set and pricey if you can find one. The Anakin Skywalker minifig that comes with this one has one black right hand. It's a fairly small set but with two ships and the unique minifig, it's worth adding to your collection.
