It’s not the moon, it’s Lego’s October outings

A new month is on our doors, and for Lego, a new record: the release of the most expensive Lego game ever made (so far, at least), in the new Star Wars UCS Death Star. But while a very large disc could eclipse what is along the way this month, it is not the only thing that comes from Lego.

October could be a “silent” month for the brick manufacturer, 9,023 pieces of the death of the stars, but there are still some strengths beyond the elephant in the shape of a super-arme in the room. The LEGO Game Boy impatiently strikes the shelves this month, just like some additional sets of Wednesday. It is also time to get into the spirit of the season … But not really the fantasy, because Lego looks at the holidays with a range of festive kits.

Here are the highlights of what comes from Lego this month.

Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Death Star

Let’s set it away: yes, it’s a record. Yes it is the case dollars. Yes, it’s more than 9,000 pieces, thank you, Vegeta. But guy, there is a lot of things with Lego the biggest and perhaps the most controversial Star Wars set of all time. A ginormous transverse cutting edge of the infamous super-arme, the first UCS death star in a decade includes tons of pieces inspired by the key moments of the two A new hope And Return of the Jedi Known in a star Ur-Death, from the information room for the best admirals, Moffs and other Empire command agents, in the Emperor’s Throne hall, even to a complete mooring bay with a mini-construction of an imperial shuttle.

Popping everything that represents 38 figurines, by drawing icons from everywhere again Star WarsUntil Easter gags like the holish herd to a cute Snape One Nacez the form of honoring two vital men in the creation of the death star (and its possible destruction) in Orson Krennic and Galen Erso. Whatever your feelings about scope and format, we can all suit ourselves of one thing: this set is a lot. ($ 1000, available here from 10/1 for LEGO initiates, from 10/4 for a general version)

Lego ideas Gremlins Gizmo

The latest Lego ideas dive into a crossover tinged with perfect horror for the frightening season, because the adorable Mogwai Gizmo becomes a breathtaking model that you don’t do it must worry about the consequences of food after midnight. Alas, there is no way to completely transform the whole into the most sinister shape of Gizmo, but in addition to the ability to build it standing or sitting, the whole presents posable arms and ears, as well as a set of 3D glasses built in brick to put on its head. ($ 110, available here)

Lego Wednesday Sets

WednesdayThe second season is still enlightening the charts of Netflix, so Lego is more than happy to continue to make more sets inspired by the Addams Family series (and once again, this is the favorite period of the year on Wednesday this month!). October will see two other sets focused on Minidoll will be released in the line, including a manufacturer’s chest (and a thing model) which opens to reveal a small set of apartments, and the old Rotwood cottage of the show, now under the property of Morticia and Gomez.

Lego Game Boy

The next Nintendo LEGO ensemble is continuing the LEGO’s classic range of consoles in surprisingly fun, and the pocket computer that has started is no exception in this regard. Almost exactly to evolve with the Game Boy, the LEGO replica model includes work buttons and sliders and two removable game pak cartridges reflecting some of the most emblematic versions of the system: Link Awakening And Super Mario Land. In addition to that, Game Boy de LEGO is delivered with swapable lenticular sheets to slip into the screen section, recreating moments of these games as well as the classic start -up animation. ($ 60, available here)

Lego Star Wars Gingerbread

I don’t want to burn a hole of a thousand dollars in your pocket this month, Star Wars fans? Well, what would you say about something very different: a Walker on a Midi scale, unlike everything we have ever seen from Lego, because it seems to be gingerbread! Outside the traditional advent annual calendar, it is very rare that Lego Star Wars Starts on seasonal sets, so it’s fun to see LEGO go to the theme here, lights that were sworn around the AT-AT armor to an interior equipped to do to look like a small festive living room.

If all this was not enough, it is even delivered with a completely unique figure in the form of a Dark Vader to gingerbread – whose laser light can be exchanged with a candy rod, to make good measure. ($ 60, available here)

More Lego holiday games

Star Wars is not the only festive season to come this month, because it really seems that Lego is largely jumping Halloween in October. There are a variety of Christmas sets to highlight this year, from manufacturer ornaments to add Santa Claus to the recent range of figurines at Lego scale, but for the more dedicated manufacturer, there is a whole new vacation train to do around your tree (if you buy the additional parts necessary to self-manage them, that is to say), or even around other holiday groups.
