LEGO hasn’t released a larger scale Bat-Pod set in a long time but this summer, there is a new one in the Batman Construction Figure and the Bat-Pod Bike (76273). The original one was back in 2015 when there was a competition for LEGO VIP members and subsequently was in the Rewards Center for 15,000 points and a sweepstakes after that. This new 713 piece set is much easier to get for $64.99.

The build is fairly similar to its predecessor, give or take a few changes here and there. You do start with the torso which has ball joints for the arms and the head. The armor on the shoulders are on hinges and they attach to the top of the shoulder....

San Diego Comic-Con, one of the largest fan events in the world, was hosted from July 24th to 28th. In classic form, LEGO showed up with a collection of fan activations and experiences for AFOLs of all ages. As a fan of pop culture and an attendee of Comic-Con since 2002, I have been lucky enough to have been witness to LEGO and their fan experiences and activations over the years. Today I’m going to share my LEGO Comic-Con experience in 2024 while also reflecting on LEGO’s Comic-Con experiences over the years and how they have evolved and grown to what we see today. From fights for exclusive minifigs and sets to a more community-based approach, these are the good and the bad of LEGO at Comic-Con. LEGO Panels: Ninjago Dragons Rising and LEGO Masters...

Today’s guest article comes from Brian Saviano, one of the only AFOLs who still buys LEGO Super Mario, who shares how the LEGO community is coming together to raise money for cancer research. One Idea, One Mission Every great initiative starts with a few people stepping up and making it happen. We can sit around all day and discuss what we should do, but rising to the challenge can grow beyond what you’ve ever expected.

LEGO has revealed a new gift with purchase set on the LEGO Shop with the LEGO Creator 3-in-1 Mythical Pegasus (40691). The set hs 278 pieces and the parts can be used to build a pegasus, dragon, or a bird.

Creative kids aged 7+ can travel to a magical fantasy world to play out fun stories with this Mythical Pegasus (40691) 3in1 toy. The supercute winged horse has posable feet, wings, head and tail, and can stand on all 4 legs – or on its hind legs when on its pedestal. Kids can then choose to rebuild it into a mythical dragon toy with posable wings and tail, or a mythical bird with its wings spread, ready to...
