LEGO is expanding on its hit line of Boost programmable motorized kits. While the initial set was called Boost, the system it’s inspired will be called Powered Up. We got our first look at one of these back in February at Toy Fair with the Ninjago dragon Stormbringer, but today LEGO has announced that your favorite black-caped crusader, Batman, is getting some upgrades to his ride in the form of a programmable Batmobile. All of the Powered Up sets can be controlled via a smartphone or tablet app (on both iOS and Android), and some — like the Batmobile — will include motors while others need to be paired with the Boost set for full functionality. The LEGO Batman 76112 App-Controlled Batmobile will be available August 1 for $99.99. It includes 321 pieces. Also check out our hands-on demo of the App-Controlled Batmobile. 76112 App-Controlled Batmobile LEGO® Powered Up Platform Empowers...

While we got a look at the box art for the six sets a few weeks ago, today LEGO’s given us full images of all the sets, including the Unikitty Collectible character line. Like the Powerpuff Girls that LEGO also announced today, these sets will be available beginning August 1. As befits Unikitty and her zany band, the sets are filled with bright colors and play features. Because they’re primarily targeted at the young demographic of fans of the Unikitty television show, the sets themselves may not be the most exciting for adult fans, but look closely and you’ll spot some new elements that will certainly be useful. 41451 – Unikitty Cloud Car 41451 – Unikitty Cloud Car126 pieces | Ages 5+9.99 USD, 12.99 CADRelive favorite moments from the happiest, most sparkly and colorful TV series around with the LEGO® Unikitty! 41451 Cloud Car, featuring a spinning propeller and 2 stud...

After teasing the minifigures way back in February, LEGO has finally revealed two sets from the Powerpuff Girls theme.

They will be available August 1. 41287 – Bubbles’ Playground Showdown 41287 – Bubbles’ Playground Showdown 144 pieces | Ages 6+ 19.99 (USD) 24.99 (CAD)Help the Powerpuff Girls defend the Townsville playground from Princess Morbucks in this fun LEGO® The Powerpuff Girls 41287 Bubbles’ Playground Showdown!

One of the things I enjoyed about the last season of Star Wars Rebels was the incorporation of the new canon material introduced in Star Wars: Rogue One, with mentions of Director Krennic, appearances by the Death Troopers, and Ryder’s U-Wing, constructed here in LEGO form. Inthert has done an excellent job depicting the beat up, minimalistic, utilitarian look Ryder’s U-Wing was known for. A top-down shot allows us to see the greebling on the interior of the front nacelles, giving the ship an exposed look similar to that of the Y-Wing. Close inspection reveals the neat usage of minifigure walkie-talkie elements and old vehicle exhaust pieces as hoses of some sort. The post Ryder’s U-Wing from Star Wars Rebels built with LEGO appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Peter
