The Batmobile Polybag (30446) Image

I recently discovered an image of the new polybag Batmobile (30446) floating around the internet.  It does not seem like an exclusive set, so I'm guessing it will eventually be available for purchase at Target, ToysRUs, or Lego.  See image below.

Wall-E Revised Instructions.

LEGO has just published a revised instruction manual for troubled Ideas set 21303 Wall-E that details how it has resolved the loosely swiveling head problem.  The pieces will be sent to the people who purchased it before by calling customer service.
The difference between the two instructions is shown below.  

2015 VIP Shopping Event!



There was a rumor that there wouldn't be a VIP shopping event this year, however, the above images have been circulating the internet.  It sounds like there was a bit of a mix-up with the invitations this year and many people either did not get their invite, it was an invite to the wrong store, or there were misspellings on the names.  

Last year, I was invited and it was not as great as the previous years.  Sure, I did get a few free (small) sets, but there weren't any special discounts or sales.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Polybags Found! (Poe's X-wing Fighter-30278 & Finn Minifigure-30605)


Both of these images showed up online last night.  I am guessing the Finn minifigure will be part of a Lego promo and the X-wing will just be an item for sale.

Ghostbusters HQ Officially Revealed!


Barely a week after a Toys “R” Us store in Canada leaked the possible existence of the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, the actual set has officially been revealed by Lego itself via the company’s Twitter and Facebook accounts this morning.
Available starting in January (sadly a month too late for Christmas) the $350, 4,634-piece set fills two floors with a laboratory, living quarters, the requisite ghost containment unit, and nine Minifigs including Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston, Janine Melnitz, Dana Barrett, Louis Tully, the library ghost, and a zombie ghost driver.
Slimer is also here, included in a trio of non-Minifig ghosts that can be mounted all over the building, and the entire structure opens up for easy play access. Other features of note include the firefighter’s pole that Ray fell in love with, and if you look closely, there’ even mood slime bubbling up through cracks in the sidewalk. All that’s missing is a giant sailor made of marshmallow to make this new set absolutely perfect.

All that is known about the above pictured Batman minifigure with certainty, is that it really comes from a LEGO factory, it is made up of official documents, it is not a custom, and that comes with two sets of flexible plastic wings you see on the pictures. There is not any pad printing on the back or on the legs.
