Details on 5001623 Jor-El Polybag, June In Store Events

June Store Calendar Page 1

Some details have emerged about obtaining the Jor-El minifig we reported on earlier this week. This post on Eurobricks shows the June store calendar with Jor-El displayed as one of the highlighted items. It will be a LEGO Brand Retail promotion and the only way to get it is to make a purchase in store or at LEGO Shop@Home for $75 or more. There’s nothing listed about the purchase requiring Super Heroes sets, so any purchase should net you the minifigure. Offer is good from June 1-25 or while supplies last.

There is one other item of interest on the calendar. On Wednesday June 19, they will be hosting a special in-store building event where you can build the Man of Steel. This is in addition to their regular Monthly Mini Build. Build event is open to kids age 6-14 only and limited to approximately 150 per store.

And finally, on Friday June 22, the monthly LEGO Club meeting will be DC Super Heroes themed.

Surprise! Jor-El Polybag Pops Up On eBay

Jor-El Polybag pops up on eBay

It sort of came out of no where, but a Man of Steel promotional polybag isn’t really shocking. It’s yet another figure to pop up on eBay ahead of release and I think it’s a bit pricey for a figure that includes the same El family underwear that comes in every Man of Steel set. Works out to about 50 bucks for a new bearded head print. At least it’s a nice beard.

We’ll keep you posted on when and how this one will be released.

“A Sentimental Replica Of A Planet Long Since Vanished”

Fortress of Solitude

That’s how Zod described Superman’s Fortress of Solitude in the second movie and it’s quite true if a bit cold. ZeeMasterBrick has built this stark and stunning monument and even gone so far as to have a custom Jor-El made to accompany his own minifigs in capturing some movie moments. It’s such an eye-catching version of the last house of El, that I had to post it right away instead of banishing it to my queue of builds “to blog”. I’m so behind…
