William's LEGO MOCs and Reviews

LEGO has posted a teaser on social media for what is said to be another Nintendo set. Enhancing a still from the video shows a cube with question marks on its faces: I don't know whether it's showing the set, or just providing a clue to it. View the video after the break then let me know what you think down in the comments.

Here's the press release for the 37th LEGO Ideas set: 21329 Fender Stratocaster, rated 18+, 1,074 pieces $99 / £89 / €99 / 159.99 AUD / 139.99 CAD Available from 1st October at LEGO.com The LEGO Group announces the new LEGO Ideas Fender Stratocaster set – created by LEGO Ideas fan designer Tomáš Letenay. The iconic Fender Stratocaster guitar, famously played by music legends and emerging artists alike and the industry standard guitar sound for music across genres, has now been meticulously reimagined in LEGO bricks. Whether you are an old school rock and roll fan, an indie rock, R&B or heavy metal lover or just passionate about music, the LEGO model of the 1970s Fender Stratocaster is sure to be a crowd pleaser and includes the option to either build a red or black version of the iconic guitar.  

A very dodgy-looking website of a Malaysian toy shop has revealed another Christmas seasonal set: 40499 Santa's Sleigh. Given the dubious provenance I wasn't going to post it, but most other fan media sites have now done so, so I might as well! It's such an obvious thing to make a model of that it's surprising it's not been done before. I am sure it will fly off the shelves when released, which presumably will be October 1st.

During August I went a little project-crazy. While continuing the Dreamliner, I also have built models from 'Jungle Cruise', The Hobbit, and World War I, as well as a miniature camera. After finally learning how to actually use my camera, I am proud to present some pretty high quality pictures.

LEGO has unveiled another football stadium! 10284 Camp Nou, rated 18+, 5,509 pieces $349.99 / £299.99 / €329.99 Available now at LEGO.com, with 40485 FC Barcelona Celebration as a GWP. The new LEGO FC Barcelona Camp Nou set allows you to create a spectacular 5,509-piece model that is sure to take center stage in any fan’s home.

Japanese retailer Yodobashi has published pictures of another Tumbler! The 422-piece 76239 Batmobile Tumbler Scarecrow Showdown, which is released on 1st October, looks to be minifig-scale and comes with Batman and Scarecrow minifigs. It's priced at 6000 yen, which is about £40 / $55. Unfortunately the images are miniscule so it's not possible to discern much detail.  

Amazon Japan has revealed a new version of Batman's Tumbler! The 2,049 piece 76240 Batmobile Tumbler will be released on the 1st of November. The price in Japan is ¥25,330 which is about $230 / £165. At first glance it looks very similar in size and design to 2014's 76023 The Tumbler, but I'm sure there are many improvements under the hood that utilize new parts and building techniques. It comes with a rotating display stand and Batman and Joker minifigures, which are unique to this set.
