The LEGO Batman Movie Toys R Us Mini Batmobile

January 22, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Toys R Us Hong Kong did a mini-building event for The LEGO Batman Movie and attendees got to create a small Batmobile. If you look closely, it is very similar to The LEGO Movie Emmet’s Flying Car from three years ago except for the large wings on the side. This results in the set having 60 pieces now.

Man So over in the Legend Bricks LEGO 交流交友區 Facebook group has also provided the building instructions if you want to create your own. There’s no word yet if there will be a similar TRU building event here in the States or not for The LEGO Batman Movie.

Thanks to Julian for the heads up.

LEGO Dimensions to be Included in February Loot Crate Box

January 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

The February theme for Loot Crate has been revealed and it looks like there will be some sort of exclusive LEGO Dimensions item that will be included in the box. If you’re not familiar with Loot Crate, it is a curated subscription box which you can get 4-6 licensed items which are exclusive for the company that usually add up to $45 or more in retail value.

As I mentioned before, February will be a Build theme that “celebrate some of pop culture’s most “put together” franchises with this hands-on theme.” Some of the other items that will be featured include Batman, Power Rangers, LEGO Dimensions, and Tetris. Loot Crate boxes usually include a variety of items including a t-shirt so there’s no telling what the LEGO Dimensions item will be.

Loot Crate boxes start at $21.99/month for a one month subscription plus shipping so if you do decide to get a box just for the LEGO Dimensions item, this would be the best way to go unless you already have a subscription already or you want a longer term. Just be sure to manually cancel your subscription or else it will automatically renew. You have until February 19 to put your order in and it will ship between February 20-28.

Thanks to Tyler for the heads up.

LEGO Seasonal 2017 Halloween Set First Look

January 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The LEGO Seasonal 2017 Easter Egg Hunt (40237) has started to show up at LEGO Stores and on the back of the instructions, it shows this year’s LEGO Seasonal Halloween set. From the looks of it, the set shows off a large gate and in the background, there’s presumably a haunted house with an orange sky backdrop. There’s also a cauldron with some food stuff in it. The minifigures include a man and a skeleton. It’s cool to have an early look at the set although we won’t be released until September/October. So far this year, these Seasonal sets have been very promising compared to last year’s sets.

LEGO Iconic Brick Calendar (40172) Available on Shop@Home

January 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, an image of the LEGO Iconic Brick Calendar (40172) appeared online and folks across the pond were able to purchase it. It looks like North America is able to purchase the set now on Shop@Home. The set contains 278 pieces and retails for $19.99. I haven’t seen it at the LEGO Store here yet but I assume it’s available at LEGOLAND. If someone can confirm that, I would appreciate it.

Never lose track of the date with this cool LEGO® calendar, perfect for any office, kitchen, bedroom or hallway. Build the chunky number cubes and display them on the special stand with minifigure, turning them every day to show the correct date.

-Includes 4 buildable number blocks, display stand and a minifigure.
-Turn the blocks around each day to show the correct date.
-Calendar displayed on stand measures over 3” (8cm) high, 11” (29cm) wide and 2” (7cm) deep.
