In April, DK Books will be releasing the LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: New Edition which includes an exclusive Darth Maul minifigure. The final images of the book cover and Darth Maul have been released and we can now see what they look like. This version of Maul has him showing part of his chest while wearing a black tunic. The head appears to be slightly updated from the 2011 version which has a similar expression. Also included is his double lightsaber.

There are now official images of the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Venom Crawler (76163) set. It has 413 pieces and will retail for only $29.99 which is a little surprising. The set features a Venom spider mech and a small buggy but the main attraction are the minifigures which includes Spider-Man, Carnage, and Iron Venom which is a Venomized version of the character.

Cool action vehicles and minifigures...
