It is sold out in the US and it is showing up as retired on the European Shop At Home site.  Some people are going to regret not getting this one.  It looks like it is retired in UK, Luxembourg and Germany sites.  It is just a matter of time now.  I just checked Amazon and they still have some.  See here.  They are at a small markup.  Click on the image to see the sets on Amazon.

See here on reddit for comments about this.

I also checked everywhere else and it is sold out everywhere.  That is too bad!

JUST2GOOD Also comes clean with the Summer 2016 DC Superheroes Set List Killer Croc Finally

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

EDIT:  It sounds like Killer Croc will be a BigFig.  That is a bummer!  I find these very difficult to display.

As the title states, Just2Good just delivered the summer 2016 set list for the DC sets over on his Youtube channel and on Eurobricks here.  Take a look to hear his details in the video link below.

DC Super Heroes 2H 2016 sets:

76054 Scarecrow: Fearful Harvest ($70)
76055 Killer Croc: Havoc in the Sewer ($90)
10724 LEGO Juniors Batman and Superman vs. Lex Luthor ($20)

We are also hearing that the Classic 1966 Batcave is going to be the early VIP set in February and a full release on march 1st.

I would like another Killer Croc.  The rest do not sound that interesting.  I just hope Killer Croc is a minifig and not a BigFig.

Just2Good strikes again with the Summer 2016 Marvel Set list

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

As the title states, Just2Good just delivered the summer 2016 set list for the Marvel set over on his Youtube channel and on Eurobricks here.  Take a look to hear his details in the video link below.

76057 Web Warriors Bridge Duel ($100)
76058 Ghost Rider Team-Up ($25)
76059 Doc Ock’s Tentacle Trap ($60)
76067 Captain America: Civil War set #4 (name TBA) – he said he does not know anything about this set.

The Eurobricks thread has a whole lot of speculating on the characters that we are going to get.  Additionally, do not forget about the Doctor Strange set that is coming this summer either!

I am a collector of minifigures and Star Wars sets, but I am starting to regret not keeping a copy of these Marvel and DC sets because they are really going to nail a large range of characters.  I just do not have enough money for all of these.  🙂

More facts about the summer 1966 Batman BatCave 76052 and Mr Freeze

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

SIr Gareth over on Eurobricks has revealed some information about some of the Summer DC sets.

“76052 Classic TV Series Batcave
Pieces: ????
Minifigures: Alfred, Batman, Catwoman, Robin, ???
Includes more than just the Batcave… :wink:
Price: $(120 -200)+ USD”

Mr Freeze polybag to be given away with 1966 Lego Batman Batcave Set Coming in 2016
“????? Mr. Freeze Polybag
Pieces: 3+
Minifigures: Mr. Freeze
Price: Likely free with purchase of 1966 Batcave”

Sir Gareth also thinks that the set will have BatWoman as well.

If you remember a few weeks back, we were thinking that Mr Freeze would be included in the Batcave here.  This Minifigure image was found on a Mexican Facebook group.  I just did a really bad editing job and put this on an old Polybag image.

So, it looks like the Batcave may be a little smaller than expected at closer to a 1800 – 2000 piece count.  It also looks like MR Freeze will be in a Polybag and not part of the Batcave set.  They also went on to mention that the set may include a batmobile? as well.

Another Certified Lego Professional Set Found STAM with downloadable instructions from the City Museum of Gent

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

I missed this one when I compiled my list earlier.  A reader (florisvandenherik) of the site saw my list and let me know that I was missing one.  This set is a mini tower based on a display in the City Museum Ghent.

EDIT: Facebook user Vincent-David de Clercq commented the following which clarifies what I was trying to translate.

“It’s a scale model of the library tower of the University of Ghent, Belgium. STAM is the name of the official city museum, where the original Lego model was being displayed.”

Lego Certified Professional Lego Sets - with Stam

Lego Stam set LEGO Certified Professional Dirk Denoyelle

You can read more about it here, but basically as far as I can get it translated.  Here is a link to the english site.

STAM (The Official City Museum of the City of Ghent) has a display of Models of the four famous towers of Ghent recreated in Lego bricks.  

The tower of St. Nicholas Church,

The Belfry,

The Library

The Steeple of St Bavo’s Cathedral.

Visitors are invited to the museum to build their own creations around these towers.

“A mini model of the library tower was designed by LEGO Certified Professional Dirk Denoyelle contains 314 bricks and has a scale of 1/450. The tower is 4.7 cm wide and 16.7 cm high. The real tower was designed by Henry van de Velde, was built between 1936 – 1942 and is being restored.

Here is a picture of the original library.

Here is a link to a picture for the museum.   Click on it to see a bigger picture of the display.  It looks like it will stay in the Museum until March 16th.   They were allowing people to add on to it with the bricks around it.  Very kool!

Here is another picture from Imgur.

This exclusive package costs 44 euros and was developed following theexhibition “Models. Imagination scale “which still runs until April 26th 2015. Amust have for anyone who loves LEGO towers, Ghent and / or architecture.”

This set like the others should be limited to less than 500 copies.

This set in sold out, but they have provided the downloadable instructions here if you want to build it yourself.

I am including the prior list here so that I have all of the sets in one place.

If you know of a set that I am missing, please send me a PM and I will add it.  Thanks!  You can also send me a note here.

Lego Certified Professional Lego Sets

Here are some details about each of these sets.  Most of them I am only able to find out info on eBay as I am starting to think that they are not supposed to actively advertise these?  I am not sure, but it is pretty hard to find info.  I am only able to find the info if I find the company or person that commissioned these and specifically look on their web page.

Lego Certified Professional 3′ Long Ravenel Bridge Boxed Set – (1 of 400 made) See it on eBay here or by clicking on the images.

Lego Certified Professional 3' Long Ravenel Bridge Boxed Set - 1 of 400 made inside

10th anniversary of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge led to this replica and is a Boxed Certified Lego Professional Set.
The 3-foot long replica is the rarest of the rare as far as the larger sets go. They were offered for one weekend only in Charleston, South Carolina during the Expo as well as online which quickly sold out.

Only 300-400 boxed sets made available for public sale. The exact amount is unknown to me but they sold out in 2 weeks.
The custom set includes both spans and such details as the popular walking path.

Lego Hilton Paris Opera luxury set limited to 500 copies.  See it on eBay by clicking here, or by clicking on one of the images.

Lego Hilton Paris Opera luxury set limited to 500 copies Box

Recently renovated, the Hotel Hilton Paris Opera in partnership with Lego France has hosted this summer an exhibition of great parisian monuments and portraits of famous people in Lego bricks among which an impressive model of the hotel.

On this occasion, a luxury Lego set of the Hilton hotel limited to only 500 copies, designed by a Lego-certified professional Dirk Denoyelle, was available for sale at the hotel and it is sold out.

It contains 2503 pieces and once built, it measures 51x12x30 cm and looks absolutely amazing. Not being officially part of any Lego line, this would without doubt make the most impressive set of the architecture line.

Five of these sets contain a minifigure which allows you to win gifts from the hotel

Here is a huge write up that I did on this particular set back in October.

EDIT:  Someone on the Lego Collectors Facebook group mentioned that this set came with three different boxes?  I am not sure if that means that we have 1500 of these?  Or 500 with 3 different boxes.

OK, I figured it out.  # different sets.  Small, Medium and Large!  This is the Medium one.

Here is the small one over on the durhamcathederal site here.  This one is also limited to 500 sets.  I cannot find any of these for sale.

From the site…

“We decided to look into the possibility of getting a mini-model and managed to secure a limited edition range of 500, designed by Bright Bricks, certified from LEGO. We anticipate they will be extremely popular gifts in the run-up to Christmas.”

The mini-model of the Cathedral is being sold alongside a series of postcards featuring images of the large Durham Cathedral LEGO build taken by one of the volunteer ‘LEGO Makers’ working on the LEGO Cathedral, Les Hancock.”

Finally, here is the large set which really looks spectacular.  I found this one over on eBay.  It is also limited to 500 sets as well.  I recently saw another church down in Lego and I am starting to think that churches really lend themselves to Lego quite well at this scale.  🙂

Limited Edition LEGO Brick Tyne Bridge Model created by Bright Bricks Box Back

Newcastle NE1 Business Improvement District Company have commissioned a limited edition LEGO Brick Tyne Bridge, to mark the 90th anniversary of work starting on construction of the bridge in 1925.

There are 3,001 pieces making up this iconic bridge that arches proudly over Newcastle upon Tyne linking the city up with the great Gateshead. This model is a real feat of engineering even in a smaller scale – however at 105cm long and 42cm high it’s an awe inspiring size that will proudly adorn any space.
