This just showed up on Amazon UK and Amazon DE in the last 24 hours. We finally get some good images of the back and the front of these boxes. It looks like these will be released June First.

Today I spied these two new TT Games Acrylic Trophy Bricks for the end of 2015 and early 2016. This is the first time that I have seen either of these two Bricks.

Just saw this over on Reddit here and Promobricks here and imgur here. This is a render of approximately what the set looks like. You can see the actual picture that was posted on Imgur here.
I am hearing that they are giveing about 28 of these to each store and a total of 3500 of these. I am also hearing that you need a special invite to get one.
Here are some of the details that I am reading
Event is on April 30th
Lego Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper with $50 purchase.
10% off on some Star Wars sets.
This is the part that I am hearing mixed messages on. But basically, this sums it up. 161 piece escape from the Space Slug set. 3500 total produced. 28 per a store. Free with $125 purchase if you have an invite. (I think that these are the details?) Please let me know if I am incorrect. Promobricks is also reporting that the set will not have a minifigure. Whew!

I saw one of these on eBay this morning that was complete and I started watching it to see what price it goes for! I thought that I would pull up this old post and review it and see if it needed any information added to it. See below….
A while back in 2014 I went on a mission to find and acquire a new Lego Harry Potter Hungarian Horntail. I wanted a new copy because these are prone to breaking and they are usually missing some of the pieces. I also always try to buy new because I find myself really irritated when the used pieces that I just saved a few dollars on have a major flaw. I just ran into this issue when I received an Avatar Aang figure with a scratch on his face. I had to promptly go back to the seller and get a new one. UGHH!
According to the movies, the Horntail has the following characteristics.
Its back end is as dangerous as its front.
It is Native to Hungary
It is the most dangerous dragon breed.
He is currently 52nd on my list of Top 100 Lego Minifigures. I have included certain animals in my list due to the fact that they are important to the theme and because people collect them with their minifigures. I also included Smaug and a few others. I will add the rest as time permits.
The hungarian Horntail is a dragon that was included in Lego set 4767 called Harry Potter and the Hungarian Horntail. This set (click to see) is also rather expensive due to the fact that it has Mad Eye Moody in it as an exclusive.
After a huge search, I finally found one and it is even better than I thought it would be. I am a huge collector of minifigures and this has fallen into my definition of a minifigure. It is awesome. I was also surprised to see how big it was. It will definitely not fit on my display shelf.
At the time of this post, I was also in the process of finishing up my Harry Potter Minifigure Collection as well. That is now complete if you want to see it here.
I am going to share with you my process of putting this guy together. Please let me know if you like him. If you do, I would head over to eBay or Bricklink and pick up a copy before they are all gone. They are impossible to find in any condition, but especially new.
I believe that part of the rarity of this figure is due to the fact that people were done with the Harry Potter line by the time that this set came up for sale. I think that people are ready for the Harry Potter Line again now, but they may have been saturated at that point. I guess that you can only have so many Harry Potter minifigures in your collection before they begin to get boring. I know I have been attempting to complete my collection of harry potter figures and it is silly how many exist. At least 16, but I may have lost count.
Here are all of the pieces that came with the dragon. My favorite piece is the tail. It is awesome and it is a one of a kind. The wings on this dragon are also jointed in two places that allows for the wing to turn a little, but not too much. I think it was a good design and one that they should have used on the new Smaug dragon in the Hobbit series. I think that it would have made those wings more usable for other MOC’s.
Lets start with the head. The head is ok. This would have looked much better with a brown Smaug head.
This is more fitting based on the movie dragon in my opinion. However, this was several years ago and this may have been too complicated of a design for Lego at that time.

EDIT: When I put this post together last year, I noticed that I was missing a few minifigures. I have hunted those down and created a video of the full collection. You can see it below. Here is a picture of the latest collection here.
Since I pulled out the Hungarian Horntail Post, I thought I would pull this one out of storage as well! This is from when this collection was finished in August of last year.
I have been trying to complete this collection for the past 12 months. I cannot even tell you how many issue I ran into when trying to find all of these.
First and foremost is the fact that the supply of these in the States is really limited. I had to go to Europe for a lot of the rare ones.
Second, it was difficult trying to identify the correct minifigures. Bricklink and other lists had a few incorrect figures and duplicates that people were selling as real figures. I believe that these have all been eliminated now and the list here and at Bricklink is not correct.
Third, a few of the figures were just not available in new condition. I there fore either had to buy the set and pull the figures, or I had to settle for like new used figures. I did pick up nice used figures for 5 or 6 figures.
Forth, I should have picked all of these up before I put up the top 100 list. I believe that people have started to collect just the expensive figures and the prices on the ones in the top 100 have been increasing over the past 12 months. This may just be a factor of supply and demand also, but some of these are really getting expensive and hard to fine.
Well, I am sure you are here to see the figures, so I will add up close and detailed images below so you can see nicer pictures.
I have learned two other things with this.
1) I am never going to be able to display all 700 plus Star Wars figures. This took me several hours to put all of these in cases and it was not cheap either. I am not sure I know where to put 720 Star Wars figures. That could be a 10 foot by 10 foot wall.
2) I really like the new display cases. No Dust, the fronts open and the stack nicely!
Now no collection is complete without the Hungarian Horntail. Right? So here is mine.
Here are the last four characters that I have collected. Please let me know if you see any others that I am missing. The Hippogriff ‘Buckbeak’, Phoenix ‘Fawkes’, Basilisk and Dog Three Headed ‘Fluffy’ are shown below.
Here is my Cave Troll. I missed this one on my first pass.
I am still missing this one. Thestral (Horse, Skeletal with Wings), Complete Assembly.
If you like these display cases, Amazon is selling then now. I picked most of these up through Amazon. The first three came through ToyRUs.

I saw this listing over on eBay a bit ago for a full box of minifigures, so I decided that these must be showing up at Toys R Us or Target. I drove over to target and said that I would like the blue ones and not the orange ones.
A helpful person went in the back and promptly found the set with the Blue Box! He then showed it to me and proceeded to tell me that he cannot sell it until May 1st as they were listed as do not sell! Fail! It was like he was teasing me!
Look up the prices of all of your favorite minifigures
