76052 Batman Classic TV Series Batcave?

It is on the occasion of the birthday of Adam West, the actor who played Batman in the cult TV series, that LEGO has uploaded the visual above.

Some already see it as the minifigure and the Batmobile that we should get in an upcoming set planned for 2016: 76052 Batman Classic TV Series Batcave.

Keep in mind, however, that these images are produced by independent artists on behalf of LEGO and that some of them such as Paul Lee alias polyva have confirmed in the past that they do not always take inspiration from official products and that they are happy to let their imaginations take over when producing visuals and comics on demand from LEGO.

If you have a Twitter account, please feel free to follow Dan Veesenmeyer's account on Twitter (@dveese), the gentleman is currently working on many visuals for LEGO or Warner and occasionally publishes a few examples of his work in progress, especially on the LEGO Marvel Avengers video game expected for January 2016.

18/09/2015 - 16:30 Rumors Lego ghostbusters

lego ideas ghostbusters headquarters

This is enough to satisfy fans of the Ghostbusters franchise with a rumor that announces the release of the set 75827 Ghostbusters Headquarters for January 2016.

Not much is known yet about this box, other than that it should contain 4600 pieces, that its US public price would be $ 350 and that the building would open to allow access to a detailed interior as was for example the case of the haunted house of the set Monster Fighters 10228 Haunted House released in 2012.

We will remember the lego ideas project proposed by Brent Waller (visual above) which had finally been validated by LEGO but which only allowed us to obtain the Ectomobile and the four main characters in the set 21108 Ghostbusters.

LEGO would therefore have finally decided to market its version of the headquarters of the ghost hunters in a D2C set (Direct2Consumer). The rumor however does not specify the number of minifigs provided in this box and does not confirm the presence of a possible new Ectomobile.

However, it seems unthinkable to me that LEGO does not deliver the Ecto-1 in a set of 4600 pieces based on the Ghostbusters franchise and sold for $ 350 ... We will also probably be entitled to a new version of the four Ghostbusters, and the minifig of Peter Venkman featured in the Level Pack LEGO Dimensions 71228 is in my opinion just a taste of what we will discover in this big set, just like the Slimer of the Fun pack 71241 and the Stay Puft of Fun pack 71233.

Update : For anyone wondering where all the 2016 sets lists currently available come from: The new sets referenced on the official LEGO website are detectable using a temporary address intentionally altered which is automatically converted by the manufacturer's server and which then lets appear the name of the set concerned ... You can try by indicating the desired set number in the two places required in the address.
All of the 2016 set lists posted on various forums to date have obviously been compiled by this means.

To be continued...
