As part of the Hero Factory line, LEGO will be releasing a series of Constraction sets based on a few key Marvel and DC Comics characters. On display at Comic Con were The Hulk and Iron Man from Marvel Comics, and Batman and Green Lantern from DC. No other info available at this time unless I missed something. Anyways, I’ll see what else I can dig up.
The Target weekly circular is advertising a Buy-One-Get-One 50% off for all Harry Potter, Prince of Persia, and Hero Factory sets. BOGO runs November 14-20. Offer valid in-stores only.
Thank you DarthMC for the tip.
I received the following assets from LEGO regarding their new Hero Factory line. Introducing the Villains! Click through to get a description of each villain. Hero Factory is set to debut in August, so I can only assume that the Villains will be available on or around the same time. Prices were not included in the press kit, but will probably range from $7.99 for the basic figures to $49.99 for the largest kit.
I just got the following video in a press release today. LEGO Hero Factory is the line that is replacing Bionicle:
While I, myself, wasn’t the biggest Bionicle fan, I can appreciate it’s place in the LEGO product line. There were mixed reactions when LEGO announced that the line was ending. Hero Factory seems like a good idea that has just the right appeal to hook kids. Some preliminary images have been leaked if you want to take a look (Hero Factory replaces Bionicle in August 2010 via The Brothers Brick). FBTB will have full coverage of this line come Toy Fair in February.
