Congratulations to you, Maia. Voltron is still being considered, which is very surprising to me, but I’m hoping against all odds it becomes a reality.
Most of the others were too unrealistic in their scope to ever be considered. I mean seriously, they’ve stated what won’t make it and most of the models that were rejected are the exact definitions of what would be considered an auto-disqualification. The announcement covers the review period from May to September of 2016. via LEGO Ideas blogLEGO Super Heroes, Marvel Comics, Sales News Doctor Strange Retiring Soon, Last Day For Tears and Disco Batman The Target-exclusive Doctor Strange set, 76060 Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum, has been marked as “Retiring Soon” over at LEGO [email protected] It is currently on back order status, and I am assuming once their back order shipment sells out, that is it. You can also pick it up at Target stores if that floats your boat. The other two Super Hero exclusives, Walmart’s 76056 Batman: Rescue from Ra’s al Ghul and Toys’R’Us’ 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown are still available and have not yet been marked in the same manner.

It might seem a bit strange to think that a teenage muslim girl that’s taking up the mantle of a character that was far too often known more for her costume than for all of the cool stories (seriously, Ms. Marvel / Captain Marvel was always a cool character, but since the name change, has just gotten more cool).
Kamala Khan is just this wonderful mix of awkwardness, hitting her from all sides: her Muslim heritage and family contrasting with the fact that she is thoroughly American, her deep nerdiness contrasting with wanting to fit in, the whole Peter Parker-esque teenage struggles, and trying to be a new super hero dealing with standing shoulder to shoulder with her idols. Her series took some of the things that Marvel has always excelled at in its comics… first done by the mix of Peter Parker and later by the real human struggles of people like Tony Stark. She got hit with the Terrigen Cloud (she’s an Inhuman) after sneaking out to go to a party, only to be made fun of by the cool kids. She didn’t know how to control her powers (she’s a polymorph, meaning she can bend around, increase size, and heals a lot… she can even assume other forms, like when she appeared as the original Ms. Marvel in her classic costume). A few issues later, she’s searching for her bad guy in the sewers, and comes across Wolverine for a team up, and she nerds out in a way that I think we can all relate to, because we’d all do the exact same thing in her shoes.
This isn’t really a review of her comics, it’s just that reviewing 76076 Captain America Jet Pursuit means that I’m going to have to focus on a set that can only be described using words like “mediocre” and “disappointing” and “wrong.” Starting at the very premise of the set… Captain America flying a jet. The Captain has been many things in his long life, but pilot is not among them. Sure, he was sitting at the controls of plane thing in First Avenger, but his role in that was to crash it (the vehicles were mostly auto-pilot). He was an Army captain, for crying out loud. The villain is probably someone most people have never heard of; I actually had heard the name, but he looks nothing at all like what you get here. In short, this $19.99, 160 piece set is all about Kamala… and I seriously hope my first impressions are wrong.February 19th, 2017 | LEGO Star Wars, Sales News March Sets Now Available Through LEGO LEGO [email protected] and Brand Retail stores are now carrying most if not all of the March assortment.
I listed Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes and Brickheadz. The Brickheadz are also available but limited to VIP members. Once you sign into your account you should be able to add to your bag.

Ms. Marvel is the one thing I am most excited for out of this theme and, like Nick, will buy at least two copies to make a regular version and arms extendo version. I have a whole video for just her, seen above, but you should see the neat GOTG sets too, seen below, and a bonus video showcasing the new minifigure firing mechanism.
LEGO Star Wars, NewsLEGO Star Wars Sets Videos Here are a few more videos. To be honest the Star Wars line feels a little lacking. It could be because there are four current properties to draw from as well as the Original and Prequel Trilogies as well. That and the focus seems to be promoting the hell out of The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Ah well, at least I got my Quadjumper! Above is 75172 Y Wing Starfighter, the rest of the Star Wars sets are below the fold.News, The LEGO Batman MovieVideos of the LEGO Movie Batman sets in Action These videos wrap up the coverage of LEGO stuff coming out of New York Toy Fair 2017, but wow, looking at the play features for 70917 The Ultimate Batmobile, and this set went from pretty awesome to shut up and take my money for me. That little moment where Robin just pops into the back, behind Batman? That’s a stroke of genius right there. Above is the 70917 The Ultimate Batmobile set, and you can check out the rest of the videos after the click.
