April 22, 2015 / / 10 Comments

While sitting here in Chicago waiting for my next flight, Warner Bros. has released a press release announcing the upcoming release of their DC Super Hero Girls line with LEGO producing building sets to go along with it. I believe LEGO will be going with the minidolls similar to the Friends and Elves themes for the DC Super Hero Girls characters. Read the full press release below.

LEGO Mixels Series 5 - Klinkers

Brickset has posted images of the Series 5 wave of the LEGO Mixels which shows all nine characters in the wave as well as the Max model for each tribe. These were spotted at Toy Fairs earlier in the year but photography of them were prohibited.

The Klinkers have a brown and grey color scheme and has a very steampunk feel to them. The Frosticons make their return with three more characters from the tribe. Finally, the Lixers are mainly yellow with their main features being their tongue.

The Series 5 LEGO Mixels are set to be released in June.

Update: The images were first found on the Mixels Wiki.

LEGO Building Instruction Generator Program for LDD

April 21, 2015 / / 4 Comments

If you’re an avid user of the LEGO Digital Designer (LDD), you would know that the program lacks a proper building instruction feature. This is where Eurobricks member msx80 comes in. They have posted a LEGO building instruction generator program called Blueprint which takes your LXF file and generates building steps while using the LDD group definitions. There you can adjust the steps by moving them around, adding more steps, and more. After you’re satisfied with the instructions, you can generate and save the pages as image files.

Blueprint is still in beta but it works fairly well. With that being said, there are still some limitations with the program such as no undo button and some multipart pieces may not work as intended. You can read more of the limitations in the link thread above.

Requirements for using Blueprint include having Java 8 with revision 8u40 or better, Opengl 3.2 or higher, and LDD. This may sound sophisticated but if you have the latest drivers and updates for your system, you should probably already have everything that’s need to run the program. When you click the link above to download it, your anti-virus program may block it but I tested it and it works fine.

April 21, 2015 / / 1 Comment

Brick Fest Live/Philly Brick Fest 2015 is happening is weekend and for the second year in a row, I’ll be heading out there to attend the event. There will be tons of MOCs on display from various local LUGs such as PennLUG as well as a number of vendors like The Brick Show, eclipseGRAFX, and Brick Warriors just to name a few. There’s still time to get tickets if you want to attend the public days on Saturday and Sunday.

I look forward to hanging out with friends of the site from the east coast again and meeting new people. If you’re heading out there this weekend, come by and say hello. I’ll be around doing coverage throughout the whole event and be posting on our Facebook Page so make sure you like to page to get the notifications.

LEGO Star Wars Mini Wookiee Gunship Toys R Us Building Event on May the 4th Weekend

April 20, 2015 / / 0 Comments

Friends of the site Kelly, aka Kelyn39, along with her sons informed us of an upcoming Toys R Us LEGO building event that will be held on May the 4th weekend on Sunday May 3 from 12-2pm. For this event, kids will be able to build a mini LEGO Star Wars Wookiee Gunship. The build has a similar shape to the 75084icon set but at a smaller scale.

This will most likely be a very popular event and inventory will probably run out very quick. I do highly suggest that you get there at least a hour early to get in line as these type of Toys R Us building events can get really busy. Thanks again to Kelly, Ian, and Declan for tagging me and letting me know about it.
