July 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

When the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) was first announced that would become an official set, my inner adult child was filled with joy. Some of you may know that I’m a huge fan of the show but I have pretty much collected a number of Voltron toys and to have this set in my hands is something I’ve never dreamed would have happened. For the background of the Voltron project on LEGO Ideas, Leandro Tayag was the fan designer and it only took him just three weeks to hit 10,000 supporters. As for the details of the set itself, it has 2,321 pieces and retails for $179.99 and will be available starting on July 23 for VIP members or August 1 for the general public.

Every year we get new LEGO Star Wars sets and for physical media, they have to release new material to keep the content updated. Amazon has listed a new LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary – New Edition that is tentatively slated to come out April 1, 2019. We’ve already gotten some visual dictionaries before for LEGO Star Wars such as the original one from 2009 and the Updated and Expanded version from 2014.

The book will cover a majority of the sets and minifigures that have been released the past few years. Like with many other LEGO DK books, there will be an exclusive minifigure that will be included but we probably won’t know who it is until sometime next year.

LEGO Ninjago at San Diego Comic Con 2018

LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu SDCC 2017

LEGO Ninjago has been a staple at San Diego Comic Con for the past few years and fans have been drooling over the details for the upcoming seasons. Not surprisingly, LEGO Ninjago will be back at SDCC 2018 as the Sunday Programming Schedule is now out and there will be a panel held early in the morning. On Sunday, July 22 from 10:30-11:30am in Room 6A, the people behind LEGO Ninjago will be on hand and it’ll be a little interesting this year. The description doesn’t say they will talk about the next season but it says they will talk about their favorite memories and other reflections of the show. I believe they’ll still give a sneak peek but it’s curious the description doesn’t say the panel will like with previous years. Like as before, I’ll try to do a live tweeting session if my schedule lines up.

If you think ninja and LEGO are cool, then this is the panel for you! Ninjago veterans Tommy Andreasen (co-creator/producer) and Michael Svane Knap (LEGO senior design manager) are joined by lead writer Bragi Schut, voice talents Brent Miller (voice of Zane), Kelly Metzger (voice of Nya), and Vincent Tong (voice of Kai) to talk about their favorite memories and other reflections on creating LEGO’s longest running and most successful show. Bring the kids! Ninjaaaaa-GO! Moderated by the LEGO Group’s Brian Bowler.

LEGO DC Super-Villains: Meet the Talent Behind the Video Game SDCC 2018 Panel

July 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The San Diego Comic Con 2018 programming schedules have started rolling out and not surprisingly, there are some LEGO-related panels that fans can look forward to. One of the main panels that I was expecting was the LEGO DC Super-Villains: Meet the Talent Behind the Video Game. It will be held on Friday July 20, 2018 2:15pm – 3:15pm in Room 6A. During the panel, we can see more details about the game including more character reveals as most fans are wanting to see. There’s no mentioning of any giveaways during the panel but we usually do get something for attending.

The team behind the LEGO DC Super-Villains videogame, including Arthur Parsons (head of design, TT Games) and fan-favorite Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, give an inside look at the first LEGO game to put players at the center of a villain-centric adventure packed with favorite locations and characters from across the DC Universe. This celebration of villainy will provide fans with exciting character reveals and details about the story. Players have the ability to create and play as a super-villain throughout LEGO DC Super-Villains, unleashing mischievous antics and wreaking havoc in an action-packed, hilarious story written in collaboration with DC Comics. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and The LEGO Group will release the game on October 16.

Last Day for Double LEGO VIP Points (June-July 2018)

July 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is the last day for Double VIP Points on LEGO Shop@Home so if you’ve been holding off on getting your purchases in, you should pull the trigger soon. The LEGO Beach Tote promotion is also in effect so you can get even more if you’re making a big purchase. To help you reach that purchasing requirement, we do have the newly released and very popular LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets available for order. They are still currently under backorder status but they will ship out by July 21. There’s no word on when the next Double VIP Points event will be held but there is a small one for some Harry Potter sets in August.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Reported Minifigure Breakdown

July 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) were revealed a few weeks ago and it looks like we finally have a box breakdown of the minifigures. According to CapnRex101 on the Brickset Forums, he has given a list of how many minifigures per box for each character and the results may surprise you.

Harry Potter:

3 – Harry Potter (Hogwarts Uniform)
3 – Hermione Granger
3 – Ron Weasley
3 – Draco Malfoy
3 – Neville Longbottom
3 – Cho Chang
3 – Dean Thomas
3 – Lord Voldemort
3 – Dobby
3 – Cedric Diggory
3 – Filius Flitwick
3 – Mad-Eye Moody
3 – Albus Dumbledore
2 – Luna Lovegood
2 – Sybil Trelawney
2 – Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:

3 – Newt Scamander
3 – Porpentina Goldstein
3 – Jacob Kowalski
3 – Queenie Goldstein
2 – Credence Barebone
1 – Percival Graves

As you can see above, it seems there are some fairly rare character minifigures like Luna Lovegood, Sybil Trelawney, Harry Potter with Invisibility Cloak, and Credence Barebone but the most surprising one is actually Percival Graves from Fantastic Beasts which only comes one per box. This basically gives you one complete set of Harry Potter LEGO minifigures per box which is a far shift from what fans thought was going to happen. There was a rumor that there would be three complete sets of Harry Potter characters and two of Fantastic Beast but it looks like that won’t be happening.… Continue

LEGO Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Target Event

July 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Target

LEGO Harry Potter fans, it looks like there’s an event at Target that you may be interested in attending for some cool swag. On Saturday, July 21 from 11am-2pm, Target will be holding a free Harry Potter 20th Anniversary event and it looks like some of the giveaways, while supplies last, include a LEGO Harry Potter branded Hogwarts crest cinch bag and a poster featuring Harry, Hermione, and Ron. It also looks like there’s an opportunity to enter to win a brick-built Hedwig statue. If you’re heading to San Diego Comic Con 2018, you’ll notice that the Target event is held on the same day so you’ll have to figure out your priorities. I’ll probably have to find the giveaways on the secondary market as I’ll be at SDCC.

Thanks to our friends at HaileyBricks and Brickanic for the heads up.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2018 Ant-Man and the Wasp (75997) Revealed

July 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has revealed the third exclusive set that fans will be able to purchase at San Diego Comic Con 2018 with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2018 Ant-Man and the Wasp (75997). The set has 218 pieces and the build is basically a bust of Ant-Man along with the Wasp minifigure. Luckily the Wasp is not exclusive as she also appears in the Quantum Realm Explorers (76109).

If you didn’t know, LEGO has moved to a lottery system for their exclusives so it’s a little harder to actually win because anyone who is attending can enter and whoever is chosen is guaranteed to win a set provided they show up to pick up the winnings. The LEGO SDCC 2018 reveals aren’t over yet as there are also exclusive minifigures given away as well so stay tuned for those reveals in the upcoming weeks.

All you have to do is team up with another person and building something that combines two of your favorite things.

LEGO Plants from Plants (40320) August 1-14 Promotion

July 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The August 2018 LEGO Store Calendar has been out for a few days now and one of the main promotions for the month is the new is the LEGO Plants from Plants (40320). It has 29 pieces complete of various plant elements and you can get it for free from August 1-14 with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last.

If you haven’t heard about it, LEGO launched a new initiative to start producing LEGO plant elements using plant-based plastic created from sugarcane. This approach is part of The LEGO Group’s commitment to use more sustainable materials in a large portion of their products and packaging by 2030.

LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) Box Teaser

July 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has revealed another teaser for the LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) has they have showed off another image for the set. This time, there is a silhouette of the box in front of the gun barrel. There’s also the 007 and Aston Martin symbols at the bottom but at the top we have the LEGO Creator Expert which is the first time they have acknowledged what theme the Aston Martin DB5 is from. If you saw my post this morning, the Budapest LEGO Certfied Store already started their own promotion for it by taking pre-orders.

There’s still no word on when the set will be released but the July 18-31 VIP Early Access event seems like the best guess since there is also an event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store happening on the same day.

LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) Confirmed for Release

July 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like the cat is out of the bag for the “top secret” LEGO James Bond set that will be coming out soon. The Budapest LEGO Certified Store has posted a pre-order page for the LEGO Creator Aston Martin DB5 (10262) which confirms all of the teasers that LEGO and Aston Martin has been pushing out the past few weeks. It has a release date of August 8 but but I’m assuming that it’ll be the July 18 for the VIP Early Access set. Stay tuned as the official announcement will be coming soon.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) Sale on Walmart

July 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve been holding off on getting the LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144), Walmart, of all places, currently has it on sale for 20% off and it is going for $159.95. If you’ve been collecting the UCS set, you would know that UCS sets usually don’t go on sale on LEGO Shop@Home so getting any kind of discount on it is a good deal. Even with the Double VIP Points promotion going on Shop@Home right now, the 20% discount is still the better deal and an even greater one for a pretty awesome set. If you haven’t checked out my review of the set, you can read up on it here.

LEGO James Bond Aston Martin Leicester Event

July 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has finally revealed a set date for possibly the reveal of the rumored LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5 set. According to a Facebook event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store, there is a top secret event being held on July 18 at 10:07am UTC. I’m going to guess that date will indeed be the reveal of the set and could be available for purchase as well since there is a VIP Early Access from July 18-31. If you don’t know about the LEGO Aston Martin DB5, LEGO along with Aston Martin and James Bond’s social media feeds has been doing teasers for the set for the past few weeks.

Yesterday was the release of the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets here in the US but due to a glitch in the system, the Hogwarts Express (75955) set was not available for purchase. The good news is that it is now up for purchase on Shop@Home so if you missed it, you can now get it. The Double VIP Points promotion is still going so if you were planning on getting it anyways, double points is a good incentive. All of the other sets besides the BrickHeadz are on backorder but you can still order them and they will ship by July 16. Sets on backorder usually ship before the date listed.

LEGO Releases James Bond Spectre Aston Martin Teaser

July 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released another teaser for the LEGO James Bond Aston Martin set which contains another quote from a movie. This time they have the following quotes:

Oh, yes. That old thing is taking quite a bit of time. Mind you, there wasn’t much left to work, only a steering wheel.

I believe I said bring it back in one piece, not bring back one piece.

Both quotes were from the 2015 James Bond movie, Spectre, starring Daniel Craig. As we know by now, LEGO will be releasing some kind of set and most believe will indeed be the Aston Martin DB5 as the next LEGO Creator set. Adding on to the news, the August 2018 LEGO Store Calendar is now out and it is possible that it could be released for Early Access on August 15 however it could also be the one for July 18-31 slot because the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) is slated for July 23.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary Exclusive Yellow Lantern Batman Minifigure

July 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in February, we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary that will be released in September. Of course, a majority of the DK books will include an exclusive minifigure and we now know who that character is thanks to Amazon France.

As you can see in the image above, the exclusive minifigure will be Yellow Lantern Batman of the Sinestro Corps from Forever Evil #4. Even though it was short-lived, LEGO decided it was obscure enough to produce a minifigure of the Yellow Lantern Batman.

You can now pre-order the LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary with a price of $21.99 but you do have the Amazon Pre-Order Price Guarantee so if goes cheaper between now and the release, you’ll pay the lowest price.

Thanks to Justin for the heads up!

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Whomping Willow (75953)

The LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets are available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home but every single set, minus the BrickHeadz, are on backorder for 30 days. I do not know what happened to the Hogwarts Express (75955) as it has disappeared from the site. It may turn out that that one could be an August 1 release. Also the Collectible Minifigures (71022) are also released next month.

If you can’t wait to get the new Harry Potter sets, LEGO Brand Stores should have a few of them in stock. If you don’t really care about the double VIP points and the Beach Tote promos and just want the sets themselves, Target also has them for purchase as well. If you have the Target REDcard, you can get 5% off your purchase and free shipping.

LEGO Unikitty Panel Confirmed for SDCC 2018

June 29, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The San Diego Comic Con 2018 programming schedule is still a few weeks away from being revealed but we already know of one of the LEGO panels that will be happening at the convention. Matthew Ashton has confirmed that there will be a LEGO Unikitty panel on Saturday, July 21 from 10-11am in Room 6DE. Joining the panel includes the cast of the show such as Tara Strong, Grey Griffin, Eric Bauza, H Michael Croner, Roger Craig Smith, as well as some of the behind the scenes people like Edu Skudder, Lynn Wang, and Anna Hollingsworth. The panel will show off a brand new episode as well as a Q&A session with the cast.

I’m sure there will be fans of the show attending since it was packed last year when it was first revealed at last year’s SDCC. Barring any scheduling conflicts, I’ll probably be attending the panel to see how it is.

LEGO Harry Potter Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts (30407) Polybag Revealed

June 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Harry's Journey to Hogwarts (30407)

The UK press which included some AFOL fan sites were invited to the LEGO Harry Potter launch event earlier today and there was another reveal in form of a polybag. As you can see above, there’s a new polybag for the line called Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts (30407). The set recreates the Platform 9 3/4 scene from The Sorcerer’s Stone with Harry and his luggage and it should go well with the upcoming Hogwarts Express (75955). The only that bugs me about it is that Harry doesn’t have his school uniform until after that.

The 37 piece polybag is reported to be part of a LEGO promotion in the next few months for the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter line. The sets are planned for a July 1 release.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2018 Exclusives Moving to Lottery System

June 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is less than a month away and they have announced that LEGO will indeed be using the lottery system for their exclusives they will be selling at the booth. I expect that it’ll be a bit harder to get this year because before, people would get in line for a chance to purchase the exclusives but now, everyone who is eligible to participate will be able to try for the lottery without being in the physical line. Obviously, I’ll be trying for it as I’ve had pretty good luck with the LEGO exclusives in the past few years but we’ll see as I’m actually pretty terrible with lotteries. I couldn’t even get parking for SDCC using five different emails the past two years.

The two exclusive LEGO SDCC 2018 sets for purchase that have been announced so far are the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon Cockpit (75512) and LEGO DC Super Heroes Aquaman and Storm (75996). If LEGO is doing the minifigures again this year, I don’t think it is part of this lottery since this is for merchandise and I believe they’ll do the same thing as before in the Sails Pavilion.

Update: It looks like the exclusive LEGO minifigures are also on the lottery system as well.

LEGO Ideas Redesigned & LEGO Rebrick Shutting Down

June 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Ideas has a new blog post that announced some new changes that have been implemented as well as some things coming to the site. The main thing is the updated look of the site overall. Some of the changes can be seen below.

-A redesigned, responsive site design with an improved mobile experience.

-A news feed that shows you top items according to a score by default. You can also toggle the feed to show the most recent items first by selecting “New” in the Sort By box underneath the left menu on any news feed page. Read more about how Top items are sorted.

-Redesigned navigation menus that make Contests more visible.

Projects are now called “Product Ideas.” We found the public called them “ideas” anyway, so we updated this for clarity.

-The Discover page now lets you search product ideas, contests, contest entries, and blog posts.

-We’ve updated our Product Idea Guidelines and Terms of Service. Most notably, now:
All product ideas must be submitted on your own behalf and not on behalf of an employer or client.
Under Prizes and Rewards, we have added a missing mention of the consolation prizes given for Product Ideas not approved in Review.

I will say that the new design looks good but it’s also very convoluted. Some of the filters went away including the “most supported” one which I think most people use to track what projects are close to reaching the 10k milestone. Honestly, now I can’t find anything on there and it looks … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Porg (75230) Confirmed to be Coming

June 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last year, LEGO released the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) which was a large scale model of the character and it turned out to be a pretty successful set. It looks like LEGO will continue with that trend of producing larger scale builds and Brickshop.nl has confirmed that there will be a Porg (75230) coming out later this year. Consisting of 811 pieces and retailing for €79.99, LEGO is hoping the adorable furry creature will bring them the same success as it did with BB-8.

The official Twitter accounts for both James Bond and Aston Martin has released more teasers of the mysterious set that they are working with LEGO on.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Microscale Hogwarts Castle (71043) Rumored Piece Count

June 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

About a week ago, it was reported that the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) direct-to-consumer set would be a microscale set. There was no other information about it but a source emailed in and informed me about a little detail about the set, more specifically, the piece count. I’ve been told that it would be roughly around 6,000 pieces which is a lot larger than I expected. Keep in mind that this information is unconfirmed and should be considered a rumor until it is officially announced by LEGO.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter July Release Clarification

June 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days, I reported that the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets were confirmed for a July 1 release but I want to make a clarification about it. From what I know from my sources, Target wanted to have a month early retailer exclusivity for the sets, hence why they’re up on their website already. This meant that LEGO themselves will also release them early as well. Other retailers like Walmart and Amazon will release them at the normal date of August 1. Note that this all applies to the US however I do know that the UK has the sets available already at certain locations. Thanks to my source for the heads up.

LEGO Ideas International Space Station Achieves 10,000 Supporters

June 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The International Space Station by XCLD is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This is actually the second time XCLD reached the required amount of supporters for the International Space Station, albeit a different version. The first one hit 10k back in 2015. This updated version consists of about 850 pieces (station: 650, shuttle: 50, support: 150) and is in scale with the Space Shuttle from the LEGO Ideas Women of NASA (21312). The model features two Soyuz capsules and two progress capsules. It now joins the SpaceX Falcon Heavy as the projects to reach the Second 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Confirmed

June 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in January, I talked about a possible LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigure series and it looks like it has been confirmed by German toy store JB Spielwaren. It has a product listing for the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) with a release date of September. There is a rumor going around that there will be 22 characters to collect instead of the usual 16-20 we get now with each box having 60 packs. We’ll see how the distribution comes out when reviews of the set are online in a few months.

Update: They have been revealed. Check them out here.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Sets Confirmed for July Release

June 21, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I noted that the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets were reported to be coming in July instead of the original August date. A couple of readers chimed in and said that their LEGO Store employees also said the same thing but we can now confirm that they will indeed come out in July. LEGO Shop@Home has uploaded some of the sets to the site with them stating they are coming soon on July 1. This is some awesome news especially if you’re wanted to get in on the LEGO Beach Tote promotion at the beginning of July.

LEGO DC Kingdom Come SDCC 2018 Set by Alex Ross

June 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

San Diego Comic Con 2018 is only a few short weeks away and like with previous years, LEGO has a pretty big presence at the event. The thing that fans have been waiting for are the exclusive sets and minifigures that are available at the convention. We’re still a couple of weeks away from those reveals as LEGO likes to keep them close to the chest but it there is something interesting that has popped up online not by LEGO but by another exhibitor.

Alex Ross has posted the above image on Facebook with the caption “New- Kingdom come- LEGO set #sdcc”. If you’re not familiar with Alex Ross, he is the writer and illustrator for the four-issue series Kingdom Come from 1996 and the image is a “set” based on the comic. The image features the iconic cover, in a way, and has custom minifigures of the Alan Scott Green Lantern, The Spectre, Wonder Woman, Superman, Norman McCay, Batman, and the Wallace West Flash.

There’s no confirmation that this is something that will be sold at SDCC by LEGO or by Alex Ross himself. It is curious because he did use the SDCC hashtag in the caption but I’m not sure what this means. It could mean that he may just be displaying it there for show or we’re just be looking too much into it. We’ll definitely know if this is an exclusive in a few weeks when more SDCC exclusives are announced so stay tuned for that. Thanks to everyone who messaged in … Continue

LEGO Minifigure Factory Debuts in Denmark

June 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here’s something really cool that debuted at the Copenhagen LEGO Brand Store earlier today. LEGO fans love customizing their minifigures and LEGO has introduced the Minifigure Factory which allows fans to customize the design of a minifigure torso and print them directly onsite. The cost is 30DKK which is about $5 and the invention is by designer Jens Hjorth who has shared the project on Facebook. It has taken 18 months for the LEGO Minifigure Factory to come to fruition and it is currently doing a test run for two days in Denmark.

From the looks of it, the Minifigure Factory has some premade designs to choose from for the front and back of the torsos. It doesn’t look like you have the option to upload your own design. It also looks like the machine can print a number of minifigures at the same time but it also means that you’ll probably have to wait until the machine fills up before it runs so it can be more efficient.

There’s no word yet on whether or not it will launch globally but hopefully the test run is successful so we can get them in every LEGO store. If you’ve been following my posts, you would know that the LEGO Mosaic Maker has finally made it to the United States so it’ll be quite a while before we see the Minifigure Factory over here if LEGO does decide to launch it worldwide.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) Rumored to be Microscale

June 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in October of last year, I talked about a Direct-to-Consumer LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) that was slated to come out later this year. Many speculated that it would be UCS scale but there are now rumors that it may not be that. Just2Good and another close source is now saying that the Hogwarts Castle will be a microscale set similar to the size of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier (76042) with microfigures. Obviously this is not what fans were imagining but we’ll just have to wait and see and make a judgement when it is announced. Keep in mind that we’re already getting the 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall (shown above) which is reported to be coming out in a few short weeks.

When the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets were announced back in February, the press release said that they were slated to be released in August but things might have changed.

Some of the sets are already available in the UK so this means that the release date has been pushed up. We’ll see at the end of the month if they start showing up at retailers like Walmart and Target. If a LEGO Store Employee can confirm this, let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Harry Potter Activity Book Minifigure Revealed

June 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last month, I talked about an upcoming LEGO Harry Potter Activity Book that was available for pre-order on Amazon which included a LEGO minifigure. We didn’t know what the minifigure was because it only had a placeholder for the image but Amazon has updated the image with the cover of the book and the minifigure that will be included is none other than Harry Potter himself. This version of him has the short legs and it looks like it will only be available with the Hogwarts Great Hall (75954) set so this activity book will be the cheapest way to get the school uniform version of the character.

The accounts for Aston Martin and even James Bond have replied to the tweet and posted the above image. Connecting the dots, LEGO is working with Aston Martin and the James Bond franchise to produce a set, possibly the famous Aston Martin DB5. What do you think the tweet by LEGO is referring to?

The design has the center core along with the side boosters with a lot of features like removable boosters and engines as well as the payload. It is about 26 inches tall and has about 1,700 pieces. This is the first project to reach the Second 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO BrickHeadz Minecraft Steve & Creeper (41612) Revealed

June 13, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has revealed another LEGO BrickHeadz set with Minecraft Steve & Creeper (41612). This set joins a slew of other LEGO BrickHeadz sets that are set to come out in the next few months. There’s no word on piece count or pricing but I’m assuming it’ll retail for $19.99.

LEGO DC Super-Villains Video Game E3 2018 Recap

June 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today at E3 2018, Arthur Parsons from TT Games did an interview on IGN to talk about the upcoming LEGO DC Super Villains Video Game. They showed off the first level of the game as well as some of the features of the Character Creator. If you’ve played LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2, it’s similar to that but the character you create will be at the center of the game in which you can acquire and use various abilities.

In addition, they also showed off the character select screen in which it reveals some playable characters including Clayface, Cheetah, Deadshot, Gorilla Grodd, Harley Quinn, Joker, Killer Frost, Lex Luthor, Mercy Graves, Reverse Flash, and Solomon Grundy. Arthur also mentioned that the Ventriloquist will be playable as well.

There’s also the open hub world which will include Gotham, Metropolis, Arkham, Smallville, and Apokolips.

Lastly, the voice cast is said to be the very best voice cast ever to be in a LEGO game. Arthur does mention that “the Batman is the Batman” and “the Joker is the Joker.” Does this mean that Mark Hamill will be voicing the Joker again and Kevin Conroy as Batman? In another gameplay clip of the Joker and Harley Quinn, there is some dialog and it really sounds like Mark Hamill’s Joker.

Hopefully there will be a panel at San Diego Comic Con next month for even more reveals and special guests.

Sneak Peek at Rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center Set?

June 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

On this day 25 years ago, my favorite movie of all-time, Jurassic Park, was released in theaters and earlier today, LEGO released an image to celebrate the anniversary. The scene shows the end of the movie where the Tyrannosaurus Rex is inside the Visitor’s Center with the banner falling down.

If you look closely, you can actually see part of the Visitor’s Center in the background and could this be a teaser to the rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center set? If you’ve been following my posts, I’ve talked about it on and off but there’s still no definite confirmation about it. One of my contacts says there is one coming but I cannot confirm it at this time. As we know by now, there’s already a 25th anniversary LEGO Jurassic Park set that has been released with the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932).

Thanks to anonymous for pointing this out.

Greg Miller Confirmed for LEGO DC Super-Villains Video Game

June 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The next LEGO video game was announced last week to be LEGO DC Super-Villains coming in October. WB Games and TT Games will be at E3 next week to start promoting it and hopefully will continue at San Diego Comic Con.

There’s already some new information about it in terms of new characters that we can expect to see. Greg Miller from Kinda Funny has been a genuine fan of LEGO video games for a while now and if you’ve been going to the SDCC panels for previous LEGO games, you can actually see the enthusiasm he has for these games. He has actually done some voice work for some of the previous LEGO games including Aldrich Killian for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and Howard the Duck for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

When a fan was asking him if he was going to be in this latest installment, he replied with a simple “I am in the game!” This confirms that he’ll again have some sort of role but we can only guess as to who he’ll portray. Greg if you read this, can we get a reveal at SDCC?

How Does Three LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) Sets Combined Look Like?

June 8, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) is now available and it looks very impressive as it is but what if you combine it with multiple copies of the set? Nati con i LEGO has released a new video of them showing off the Roller Coaster with three sets combined which is a feat in itself. The first thing that your eyes are probably drawn to is the constructed loop. There’s enough height on the initial drop that the momentum lets the carts go through the loop with ease. I wish the video showed a wider shot of the drop from the top of the tracks but nevertheless it is pretty stunning seeing three Roller Coaster sets combined into one larger coaster. Check out the video below.

The LEGO Group Announces Collaboration With IKEA to Promote Creative Play

June 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Group has announced that they are partnering up with the popular Swedish furniture company IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. The press release doesn’t go into detail of what will be happening with this partnership however my guess is that we could see LEGO branded furniture being sold at IKEA. Stay tuned as we expect more information in the near future about the LEGO/IKEA team-up.

IKEA AND THE LEGO GROUP IN COLLABORATION TO ENABLE MORE PLAY AND CREATIVITY

We know that play is an important part of life and we believe in the power of play. Play lets us be creative, explore, experiment, dream and discover. IKEA and the LEGO Group, join forces to encourage more play.

Play is key to develop. And it is an essential part of a better everyday life. Play is so many different things, for so many different people. In the everyday life there are different barriers for play. Some of the barriers are more evident for grown-ups. One being that grown-ups think that playing can be messy. Other barriers are more evident to children – like grown-ups trying to create order in the play environment, where children in fact enjoy and often immerse themselves in the midst of it all.

“It started with an invitation from the LEGO Group “Do you want to play?”. Of course we said yes to this and together we now want to enable more play by triggering play in the functionality of the everyday life. At IKEA we first

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Teaser Trailer Breakdown

June 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The big news yesterday was that teaser trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part was released online yesterday and I’m going to try and do a breakdown of what happened in the trailer and what sets we could get from LEGO from what was shown.

It’s been five years since the events on Taco Tuesday and Bricksburg has turned into an apocalyptic wasteland. If you remember, LEGO DUPLO characters came at the end of The LEGO Movie and it looks like they caused the destruction of the city.

As a result, everything turned into chaos and it “toughened and hardened” most people including Larry the Barista who underwent a drastic change. The only person that seemingly didn’t get affected was Emmet.

Emmet thinks he sees a shooting star go by but it is most likely a device sent down by a new character named Sweet Mayhem who is a minidoll instead of a minifigure. Here we can see a new Unikitty who is now a large armored cat that has long front and hind legs.

Building their way through trouble is still an integral part of their characters as you can see them build a four-wheel buggy that could be one of the sets we could get.

Soon after that, they meet Sweet Mayhem, voiced by Stephanie Beatriz, who actually looks pretty cool. She is a minidoll style and wears a stylish helmet with some sparkly wings.

Wyldstyle and the others get captured and get a good shot at some of the new character … Continue

LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe Release Date Revealed?

June 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been over a year since the LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe hit 10,000 supporters and basically there has been no information about it since it was announced that it would become an official set. I did report on rumored pricing but now there might be information on a release date for the set. Candidbricks has found from a South Korean news site, IT Chosun, that Voltron would be released on August 1 as was told to them by an official from LEGO Korea. The reason for the long delay is because LEGO needed more time to get the license to produce the set.

Although a release date was stated, it’s still not a confirmation until LEGO actually announces it online or through a press release. I’m still thinking they will be showing it off at San Diego Comic Con next month as it is the perfect place to announce it.

The official teaser trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part has finally dropped and we finally get to see what the movie is about. After the events of Taco Tuesday, Bricksburg has turned into a wasteland, sort of a Mad Max style. There’s also plenty of singing involved in the short teaser so it could confirm the rumors of this movie being a musical. Some of the new characters joining the movie are Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi, Sweet Mayhem and Ice Cream Cone. What so you guys think of it so far? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (20147) Updated Set Look

June 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As we get closer to summer, more LEGO second half catalogs are being released online and the Korean version shows the updated LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set. If you remember from earlier this year, this set was supposed to be released around this time but due to events at one of the hotels that was going to be in the set, it had to be redesigned.

As you can see above, the updated LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set will now include the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, the Bellagio in place of the Mandalay Bay Hotel, the Luxor Hotel, the Encore Hotel, the Stratosphere Tower, and the Fremont Street Experience. According to the image, the set will be released in September.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Sweet Mayhem Character Revealed

June 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, we got a look at a new teaser for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part in which we got a first look at an unknown character but thanks to Deadline, we now know who the character is. They have reported that Stephanie Beatriz has signed on to portray Sweet Mayhem (above) who was seen in the teaser poster. As you can see, Sweet Mayhem will be a minidoll figure with some glittery wings and a ray gun. It’s still not known what role she will have in the movie. Also in the Deadline report, Auturo Castro has also signed on to voice a character named Ice Cream Cone.

The first trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part will come out sometime tomorrow so we’ll have an idea then of who Sweet Mayhem and Ice Cream Cone are.

Thanks to Danny for the heads up.

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path Book Review

June 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

One of the new DK books that will coming out this week is the LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path that I’ve reported on a few months back. The style of the book is similar to the classic Choose Your Own Adventure books where you assume the role of a character, in this case U-3PO, and you make choices to determine the story’s outcome. LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path has 128 pages and retails for $19.99 and it releases on June 5.

Minifigure

As with a majority of DK books, there usually is an exclusive LEGO minifigure included but for this one, it isn’t an exclusive. With the book, we get U-3PO which was previously found in the 2016 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (75146). Unless I missed something, it is the exact minifigure and is basically a color swap of most recent version of C-3PO.

Book

As I mentioned before, LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path is a story based book where you choose your way of how the story goes. There are three starting points to choose from, “Hunt the Sith,” “Fight the Empire,” or “Defeat the First Order.” For each page, it gives a short story in which you’ll have to find a way to continue the story by picking one of two ways and keep going until you find a good ending or it tells you to try again. There are more than 40 endings that you’ll be able to find.

The pages also showcase an actual LEGO set that … Continue

The winning project that will become an official LEGO Ideas set is the Pop-Up Book by JKBrickworks and Grant_Davis_. This is the second project by Jason that has been approved by the LEGO Ideas team and is a great example of what LEGO Ideas is about. The set will be available on store shelves later this year. You can check out the announcement below.

LEGO Brand Store (40305) Official Images

May 30, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The official images of the upcoming LEGO Brand Store (40305) set are now up on LEGO’s servers. Here we can closely see some of the details of the set and as reported before, it doesn’t seem to be a promotional item but a normal set that can be purchased by itself. Currently it is available at LEGOLAND Billund so we can probably expect to see it at LEGOLAND California or LEGOLAND Florida and possibly LEGOLAND Discovery Centers soon. As for if it will be coming to LEGO Stores themselves or on Shop@Home, that is still up in the air but since it does show up on LEGO’s servers, there’s a good chance that it’ll be available on Shop@Home.

Thanks to Mikala for the heads up.

The Toys That Made Us LEGO Episode Review

May 29, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The long-awaited LEGO episode for The Toys That Made Us finally released last week and I’ve finally had some time to watch it and give it a quick review. If you’re not familiar with the show itself, it’s an eight part documentary that talks about the history of various toy franchises and how they’ve impacted society. Some of the toy lines that have been featured so far included He-Man, Star Wars, Transformers, and of course, LEGO.

The episode is about 45 minutes and it condenses LEGO’s 80+ years of history into it. If you’re familiar with LEGO’s history, then there’s really not much that you don’t already know and if you’ve read Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry by David Robertson, who also makes an appearance, then you’re pretty much set. The episode, however, does tell the story of LEGO in an upbeat way with some humor thrown in here and there. Most of the significant events that helped shape LEGO into the company that it is now is in the episode which included talking about the system of play, the emergence of the LEGO minifigure, the failures such as Jack Stone and Galidor, the decline due to the Star Wars and Harry Potter licenses, and to the revival because of Technic, Mindstorms, Bionicle, and Ninjago.

Even though it covered a lot of topics, there wasn’t anything new introduced that knowledgeable fans didn’t know about already. Although Ninjago and The LEGO Movie were mentioned briefly, it … Continue

LEGO Brand Store (40305) Set Not a Promotional Set?

May 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, we got a look at the new LEGO Brand Store (40305) set and at first we thought it was going to be a part of an upcoming promotion but it looks like that won’t be the case. Zusammengebaut has reported that the set is actually being sold by itself at LEGOLAND Billund for 229.95 krones. We also get a look at the set stacked up and it looks like a decent sized set and is actually too big to be a promotional set. Hopefully we’ll get to see this set over here in the states in the next few months and I actually don’t mind it being a regular set.

Last week, LEGO released a teaser for the LEGO BrickHeadz Ghostbusters Peter Venkman & Slimer (41622) but today we now have the official images of the set via Promobricks. The set has 228 pieces and will probably retail for $19.99 like all other BrickHeadz two-packs. Fans have been wondering how Slimer will float like it does in the teaser image and we can confirm that there will be a trans-clear 2×2 brick to help out with the illusion.

The day is finally here as The Toys That Made Us has finally returned on Netflix in which it includes the episode about LEGO. The 44 minute episode talks about the history of LEGO in a different way. It will have some guests in it including Adam Reed Tucker, David Robertson, and fellow San Diegan Bruno Todd just to name a few. I’ll watch it after I get off from work but I’m pretty stoked for this episode as well as the Transformers one.

New LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Tyrannosaurus Rex Set Found

May 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom Tyrannosaurus Rex

If you’ve think you’re done collecting all the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, it looks like there will be another set to hunt for in the near future. Over at a Belgian toy store named Dreamland, they have shown off a new Tyrannosaurus Rex (4000031?) set consisting of 70 pieces as part of one of their promotions they’re having in store. The set shows a T.Rex standing on a brick-built display. The rex itself looks to be an exclusive with its leopard printing.

What’s interesting is that they are claiming that there are only 500 of the sets produced worldwide which I hope isn’t true. This set isn’t part of June’s promos when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is in theaters so that’s out of the question. If it is actually at 500 total sets, it’ll be more rare than the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Pod (5004590) which had a run of only 750 sets. Hopefully there are other opportunities to get a hold of this set in the future, preferably in a more larger quantity.

LEGO The Incredibles Video Game Includes Other Disney Pixar Characters

May 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO The Incredibles Video Game comes out in just a few short weeks and the achievement list has just been revealed showing some neat Easter eggs in the game. As you progress through the game, you’ll obtain these achievements but there are also some hidden Disney Pixar characters in some of them. If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest not reading any further.

In one of achievements called “Truly Incredible!”, the icon shows Mr. Incredible standing next to Woody (Toy Story), Bing Bong (Inside Out), Wall-E, Merida (Brave), and Russell (Up). In another achievement called “Just Keep Swimming,” the icon shows Dory from Finding Dory in a fish bowl. This means that all those characters will be playable in the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game.

It’s cool that we’ll be able to play some other Disney Pixar characters other than the ones from The Incredibles movies. I wonder what other characters will show up in the game as well.

Remember that you can pre-order the game at GameStop and you can get the bonus exclusive LEGO Edna minifigure.

LEGO Mosaic Maker Coming to the United States

May 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Personalised Mosaic Portrait (40179)

The LEGO Mosaic Maker has been pretty popular in the UK, Europe, and more recently in Asia and now it will be making its way to the United States. If you’re not familiar with the Mosaic Maker, it’s basically a machine that captures an image of you and you’ll be able to get printed instructions and bricks for your LEGO portrait.

As usual with some of the bigger events, it will be held first at the flagship Flatiron District LEGO Brand Store in New York. They are holding a pre-booking event and you’ll need to claim your spot five weeks in advance. The cost for one of the sets is $129.99 per portrait and you’ll need to pre-pay the cashier before you get the LEGO Mosaic Maker Experience Card to use the machine.

Hopefully, the New York location opens it up more for other stores around the US to have their own machines as well.

LEGO Overwatch Sets Announced at Licensing Expo 2018

The Licensing Expo 2018 is set to kick off and Activision Blizzard has announced that they have partnered up with LEGO to produce LEGO Overwatch sets with multiple sets and various price points. I wonder if it’ll be builds of the heroes or the stages, or perhaps BrickHeadz.

There is other info at this time but for me personally, I’m very excited for this announcement because I’m a huge Overwatch fan. When I’m not doing anything LEGO-related, I’m usually playing the game. You can add me on Blizzard at Tormentalous#1173. Who else is excited for LEGO Overwatch sets?

This means you will be able to use your phone or tablet to control it along with the standard remote.

LEGO will be moving forward with this innovative feature with these sets along with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile (76112) as well as for the upcoming LEGO DUPLO trains as well.

Should LEGO Release a Roller Coaster Tracks Pack?

May 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) is now available for VIP members and many fans are excited to see a set that have been long-awaited since the Fairground subtheme was first started a few years ago. As we know by now, The Joker Manor (70922) introduced some of the new roller coaster tracks but it was hard and fairly expensive to get the track pieces in a larger quantity. We do get a few of the straight pieces in the Rhino Face-Off by the Mine (76099) but those were only straight tracks and some of the curved tracks were in the more expensive sets.

The question at hand is should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack like they do with the LEGO City train tracks? I’m sure that fans will defintely appreciate this kind of pack as it does give an opportunity to get a variety of track pieces in one pack instead of going through BrickLink or other places. They will probably eventually show up on Bricks & Pieces but I would rather just get a single pack and get it out the way.

What do you guys think? Should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack now that they are releasing more sets with these tracks pieces? Let us know in the comments below.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657) Priced at $229.99

May 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Fall 2018 LEGO Collection Preview Experience is going on right now and LEGO has displayed a lot of the summer 2018 sets there including The LEGO Ninjago Movie Ninjago City Docks (70657). The main question that fans have been wondering was the price of the set. Was it the rumored $300 or something lower than that?

We can now confirm that the set will retail for only $229.99. It’s still somewhat of a hefty price tag but it’s an easier pill to swallow. The Ninjago City Docks will be available starting on August 1 and it is not a direct-to-consumer set. You can check out the set in closer detail from The Brick Show’s video below.

Rumored LEGO Bricktober 2018 Set Details

May 16, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As we all know by now, Toys R Us will be completely shutting down and from what I’m hearing from my manager, most stores will be closed by the end of June. However, this news doesn’t stop the fact that there are some rumored information about the 2018 LEGO Bricktober sets. A source has told me that there are at least three sets which will include themes like LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, and LEGO Harry Potter.

From the Ninjago set, it will feature characters from the Son of Garmadon storyline.

For the Marvel Super Heroes set, it is said it will be an Avengers: Infinity War set featuring War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky.

Finally for the Harry Potter set, there is Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape.

The main question is since Toys R Us is closing here in the US, where LEGO has a bigger market share compared to Canada and Asia where TRU is still operating as usual, who will now get the Bricktober exclusive? I can see LEGO doing it themselves in October similar to what TRU did every week of the month which would be the easiest way. Target or Walmart might also get their hands on it and I’ve even heard Amazon could be a potential substitute but that’s very farfetched. LEGO would also probably do some repackaging to remove the Toys R Us branding or they could leave it as is to save money. … Continue

With all the hype from the reveals of the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets from earlier this morning, there was also another announcement this morning. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a new trailer for the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game. The trailer features a number of the villains from both The Incredibles movies including Syndrome, Underminer, and Screenslaver. In addition to that trailer, IGN has also released a gameplay video of The Incredibles Video Game as well.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today released a NEW LEGO The Incredibles trailer featuring the first look at the Crime Waves missions from the upcoming game, based on Disney•Pixar’s The Incredibles and Incredibles 2.

In the video, fans will discover that it takes teamwork to defeat a host of dangerous villains that have overrun the game’s dynamic hub world, in a series of fun-packed missions. Each of the world’s unique districts has been taken over by a wave of criminal masterminds, such as Syndrome and The Underminer and players must overcome multiple challenges and face epic boss battles to bring justice back to the city.

Inspired by locations from both movies, there are plenty of secrets to discover and villains to face in LEGO The Incredibles’ thrilling hub world.

First Look at Updated LEGO Wizarding World Flying Ford Anglia

May 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like we’ve gotten an accidental sneak peek at the new Flying Ford Anglia from one of the upcoming LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets. As you can see from the image above, the car is somehow put on the banner for the LEGO Elves theme on Shop@Home. The Ford Anglia shown is an updated version of the car which has also previously appeared in two other sets, Escape from Privet Drive (4728) and Hogwarts Express (4841).

This new one could be in one of the two rumored sets that it has a scene in, Aragog in the Forbidden Forest (75950) and Whomping Willow (75953). Either way, it most likely means the set will also include minifigures of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.

LEGO DC Villains “Confirmed” by Walmart Canada

May 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

At the beginning of the year, I reported on some upcoming rumored video games which included LEGO The Incredibles and something called LEGO DC Villains. As we know by know, the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game was officially announced back in March. It looks like now we can potentially the LEGO DC Villains video game as well. According to Variety, Walmart Canada earlier today accidentally leaked a bunch of upcoming games including the aforementioned LEGO DC Villains game. The listing has since been removed but it looks like the cat is out of the bag. Of course Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment nor TT Games will confirm it at this time but hopefully they’ll tease something now that the information is out in the wild. Perhaps they’ll announce something at E3 2018 or at San Diego Comic Con.

It has been reported that the main focus of the game will be centered around the DC villains instead of the super heroes as with previous LEGO games. Now that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is starting to wrap up their DLCs, we’ll turn our attention to the next two games in the pipeline.

New LEGO Brand Store (40305) Set Found

May 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Our friends over at Promobricks has found images of a new LEGO Brand Store (40305) set that will supposedly be part of a promotion at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. As of right now, it probably won’t come to the US in June because it doesn’t show the item on the June 2018 store calendar. I’ll update as soon as there is more information about it.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot (5005244) Promotion Live on Shop@Home

May 8, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The promotion for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot Keychain (5005244) polybag has started for LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get for free with a purchase of $50 or more, while supplies last, and it will run until May 20. This keychain is the same one that Target sold for $5.99 each which you can probably find at a discount now. However if you’re doing some shopping on Shop@Home, this polybag is something to keep in mind if you’re a few dollars short of the limit.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis with Exclusive Jessica Cruz Green Lantern Minifigure

May 8, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon has updated a listing of the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis original animated movie which will include an exclusive LEGO Jessica Cruz Green Lantern minifigure. The movie will come in both Blu-Ray and DVD formats which seems to both include the Jessica Cruz minifigure. Images of the minifigure have surfaced online a few months ago but it’s nice to see where we are able to get it. LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis will be released sometime this summer. Check out the trailer below.

LEGO & DC Comics are at it again: Aquaman has to defend his ocean realm against Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns with the help of the Justice League: Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg & Green Lantern. There will also be some newbies to the DC animated world sprinkled in. LEGO DC Super Heroes – Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis is set to release later this summer.

LEGO Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406) Polybag Found at LEGOLAND

May 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Late last month, the official images of the LEGO Unikitty sets started appearing online along with the Collectible Figure blind bags which are slated to come out later this summer. There’s now also news of a polybag for the theme which has started to hit LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers as well as on eBay called the Unikitty Roller Coaster Wagon (30406).

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

It has 46 pieces and includes the most basic variant of Unikitty. What’s interesting here is that Unikitty uses a new reverse 1×3 plate for the neck that connects to a pin to give the head more stability unlike the original Unikitty from The LEGO Movie line. You can check out a review of the polybag from Just2Good below. There’s no word on a wider availability at this time as LEGOLAND usually sells polybags before other retailers but I’ll keep you updated.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War Movie to Set Comparison

May 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been two weeks since Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters and if you’re a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like me, you’ve probably seen the movie already, maybe more than once. I’ve been asked a few times to compare the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War sets to the movie and that’s what I’ll do in this new series I’m starting on this site simply called Movie to Set Comparison.

As we know by now, LEGO usually releases sets depicting scenes for a particular movie and sometimes they aren’t that accurate due to them having only a little bit of source material to go by. What I’ll be doing is watching a certain movie and comparing the sets to see how accurate they are to the film. What better beginning to this series than to compare the LEGO sets to the record-setting Avengers: Infinity War. There are six sets that have been released so far for this movie so let’s get started. Be warned, there are spoilers but that goes without saying.

Outrider Dropship Attack (76101)

The Outrider Dropship Attack depicts the scene in Wakanda with a few members of the Black Order and the Outriders. The minifigure selection of Captain America, Black Widow, and a couple of Outriders are definitely accurate as they all appear in this scene. Both Captain America and Black Widow are in their new outfits and I do like how Captain America has his beard. The Outriders themselves are decent using a new neck brace piece for … Continue

The main promo here are the double VIP points you get for your purchases, minus the Y-Wing (75181).

Also if you’re a Black VIP card holder, don’t forget to claim your unique code for the Y-Wing Blueprint Poster when you make your purchase.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Review

May 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months.

LEGO Creative Storybook (40291) Closer Look

May 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you didn’t see it a few days ago, I posted about the June 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and the big promotion for the month is the LEGO Creative Storybook (40291). It will be free with a purchase of $99 or more from June 4-20, while supplies last, and it is basically in the style of a pop-up book based on Hans Christian Andersen and his fairy tale stories.

As I mentioned before, this promo set may be a teaser to a LEGO Ideas project that may turn out to become an official set later on but we’ll see. In the meantime, we can look forward to the Creative Storybook which shows a scene from The Ugly Duckling along with Andersen writing a story in an outdoor setting.

In a nice surprise, Amazon has listed a previously unknown summer 2018 LEGO City set with the Capital (60200).

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card Y-Wing (75181) Blueprint First Look

A few days ago, I talked about some of the upcoming “exclusive” promotions that will be happening for the LEGO Black VIP card holders which includes a special blueprint poster of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Y-Wing (75181). It looks like we have our first look at this poster coming out of HelloBricks and it is said that Black Card holders can get it without a minimum purchase while non-card holders can get it with a minimum purchase. If you were looking for exclusiveness, unfortunately, you won’t find it here. Some of the other promotions that will be happening this weekend include:

– Free BB-8 (40288) with purchase of $75 or more.
– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

Update: I’ve gotten concrete information from a legitimate source the that the poster is only available for Black Card holders with a purchase of $35 or more. Non-card holders will not be able to get it.

LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) Promotional Set Revealed

April 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The May/June 208 German flyer is now available and inside there’s a new promotional set that looks to be very interesting. From June 4-24 with purchases of 65€, you can get a free LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set which is a set based on Hans Christian Andersen and his stories. As you can see from the image above, it is a pop-up book build that shows Andersen writing a story outdoors on a cobblestone area. The other side of the book shows a water area with a white swan. This is presumably based on the popular fairy tale story, The Ugly Duckling.

There’s no word at this time whether or not this promotional set will be available here in the states. Maybe this set could be a hint to something we can also expect from LEGO Ideas. If you remember, the Pop-Up Book by JK Brickworks is currently under review on LEGO Ideas and this set could come out in conjunction with it as a gift-with-purchase set. This all depends on the Pop-Up Book coming out as the winner of the Third 2017 Review Stage but that announcement is still a long ways away. This is purely speculation by me but what are your guys’ thoughts about this little LEGO Creative Personalities (40291) set?

LEGO Star Wars Black VIP Card May the 4th Promotion?

April 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

When the LEGO Star Wars Black VIP card was announced, it was stated that there would be special promotions for card holders who purchased the UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) on the intial run. Fans have been wondering if they would ever get any promos or deals and it looks like there’s something coming next week during the May the 4th event.

There are now unconfirmed rumors that there will be a special sweepstakes for one of the platinum R2-D2 minifigures for Black VIP card holders. This comes from a reader who was told by LEGO store employees from their local store. I’m not sure of the legitimacy of this piece of news but if you’ve heard something similar, let us know in the comments below. Supposedly, there’s also a special blueprint poster of the UCS Y-Wing Starfighter (75181) given out to card holders as well which I’ve heard from a few places.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) May the 4th Promotion Clarification

April 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event and there’s some clarification of the availability of the BB-8 (40288) polybag on the Shop@Home header. If you’ve received the spring catalog, the flyer for the promotion shows that the BB-8 polybag was only available on May 4. According to Shop@Home, the promo will now run through the whole weekend, while supplies last, which is good because not everyone may have time to do their shopping on that specific day and will be happy to know that they have some time to make their purchases. Some of the other promotions during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event include:

– Double VIP ponts on most Star Wars items.
– Select sale items.
– Porg in-store Make and Take build

If you’ve been following the reveals of the summer 2018 LEGO Creator sets, you may already know about the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) but did you know there’s another pirate themed set? There are now official images of another LEGO Creator set coming out of Alternate which shows the new Treehouse Treasures (31078). It is a 3-in-1 one set that has 260 pieces and the main build is the pirate-themed treehouse. The alternate builds include a small pirate ship and a skull island.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue

LEGO City Summer 2018 Hospital (60204) Set Revealed

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten one but there are now images of the new upcoming LEGO City Hospital (60204). If you’ve been collecting City sets, you would know that a LEGO hospital set has been really rare the past few years since the theme has been dominated by Police and Firefighting sets.

In this set, you get the three story hospital along with an ambulance as well as a helicopter. For the minifigures, there are doctors, nurses, paramedics, numerous patients including one in a wheelchair, and a family with a stroller.

All in all, the Hospital is a great addition to any City layout and for those who haven’t had a chance to get one before, this one is a great opportunity to add to your collection.

It has been announced that The Toys That Made Us will be returning to Netflix on May 25, 2018. There will be four episodes that will be coming which includes Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek. Yes that’s right, we’re finally going to get to see the LEGO episode that was teased about a few months ago. There’s no details on what the episode will consist of but it’ll probably feature some AFOLs from Bricks LA from earlier this year as well as some footage from Billund. It was stated in a comment on my previous post about the show that the LEGO episode will focus on things that previous LEGO documentaries didn’t focus on. Whatever that means, it’ll be exciting to see what that could be.

LEGO Creator Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) More Detailed Images

April 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are now more detailed images of the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) from the summer 2018 wave of the LEGO Creator sets. This year is the year of the roller coasters and it’s due time that we get something like this to add to the Fairground subtheme for LEGO Creator line. The first roller coaster was introduced with The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor (70922) and it reuses some of the tracks in a new and more restrained color.

The 923 piece Pirate Roller Coaster is a 3-in-1 set which means that the main model can be changed into two other models using the same parts. The set pays homage to classic Eldorado Fortress (6276) with the Imperial Fortress and you also get a skull to go along with it. The other suggested builds include a small back and forth track and a mini-go-round.

LEGO Celebrates 10 Years of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO released a new image which is their version of the 10 year celebration poster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it may give some hints on possible new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes minifigures. Some of the more notable things include a barely visible Wasp, War Machine, Bucky Barnes as well as Wong with updated printing.

This is interesting because they could show up in a summer release set for Infinity War similar to the Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) for Captain America: Civil War. This is purely speculation as I haven’t heard of any concrete information about it. There was a rumor late last year of the largest Infinity War set with set 76106 which could possibly include those characters.

Again, this poster could purely just be a promo image but we know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers so who knows. Sound off below of what you think this could mean.

It has 240 pieces while retailing for $19.99 and it is supposed to come out Sunday but you can find it now using the DPCI# 204-00-2222. As I said before, LEGO has really knocked it out of the park with this set and I can’t wait to see the Harry Potter and Disney ones.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Baby Velociraptor Playpen (30382) Polybag Official Images

April 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re looking to complete your collection of LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, it looks like there’s a new polybag that has shown up over on Walmart called the Baby Velociraptor Playpen (30382). What’s a big theme release without a polybag, right? It contains 48 pieces and retails for $3.97 but it is currently not in stock at this time. The SKU is 396761494 if you’re searching on Brickseek to see if there are any locally. This polybag is the cheapest way to get the baby Velociraptor so I think it’ll be a very popular polybag when it comes out.

Train your own baby Velociraptor with this mini LEGO Jurassic World play set, featuring a playpen, shelter, feeding crane, drumstick, bone and water feeder.

The next DLC pack for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 video game is now available to download with the Runaways Character and Level Pack. Some of the new playable characters in the pack include Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, Alex Wilder, Karolina Dean, Molly Hayes, Old Lace, and Gertrude Yorkes.

You can now purchase the Runaways DLC for $2.99 or if you have the Deluxe Edition of the game, you can download it for free. Check out the press release below.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced the release of Marvel’s Runaways Character and Level Pack, the new DLC for LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes 2. The pack, available at $2.99, adds a level and characters inspired by Brian K Vaughan’s iconic comic series, now a critically acclaimed television show, currently available to stream on Hulu.

LEGO BrickHeadz Incredibles 2 Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613) Official Images

April 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, we got a first look at the upcoming LEGO BrickHeadz Incredibles 2 Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613). There are now high quality official product images of the set and it looks even nicer especially with all the printed pieces included on both of the characters. I particularly like the printed googles on Frozone and I can see it being very useful on custom builds. Also note that all of the 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets do not have the printed tile for the base which makes me question why they did it with the previous ones. According to the Spring 2018 catalog, Mr. Incredible & Frozone (41613) will be available starting on April 20.

Two Exclusive Early Access LEGO Sets Coming in May

April 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The last important piece of news that comes out of the May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar is that LEGO has revealed there will be two new exclusive sets that will be available for Early Access for LEGO VIP members from May 16-31.

One of the sets that could be coming out for Early Access is the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083) which was teased back at the Nuremberg Toy Fair. The speculation comes from the announcement on the minisite for the set which shows that the release date had been pushed up to June 1 for world release. This makes sense as Early Access is a few weeks before the general release of the set.

The other set that will be coming out is a complete mystery to me. From what I’ve gathered online, it could be the Visitor’s Center from Jurassic Park as it has been heavily rumored. As we know by now, we’re already getting a Walmart exclusive 25th anniversary set called the Jurassic park Velociraptor Chase (75932) and there’s talk that it could somehow connect to the Visitor’s Center. But again, these are just rumors so we’ll get the information of the second Early Access set later this month or early next month.

What are your guesses on what the exclusives that will be coming out next month early for VIPs? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO BrickHeadz Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) First Look

A short while ago, I did a post of the May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar and on the back of the calendar, we can see a brand new LEGO BrickHeadz set that will be available starting in May. As you can see in the image above, we will be getting the Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) set from the Justice League movie which will be a two-pack and will retail for $19.99.

There’s no word on piece count but this will be the third version of Batman and the second for Superman in the BrickHeadz line but these two will complete the Justice League lineup of super heroes.

LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Sets Releasing April 16

April 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Get your wallets ready! The Spring 2018 LEGO Store Catalogs are now showing up in mailboxes for those who are still getting mail and inside we get more information of some of the upcoming set releases. For the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, we’ve gotten a general mid-April release date for them but the catalog finally gives a firm release date for them as next Monday, April 16, at least here in the US.

Hopefully, LEGO has learned their lesson from the previous LEGO Jurassic World sets and made enough to go around as a few sets from the last wave had pretty limited quantities. I have a feeling that a few of these sets will be very popular among fans including the classic Jurassic Park set. Below are the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets that will be coming out next week.

LEGO Jurassic World T. rex Transport (75933) First Look

April 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

You may have thought that you’ve seen all of the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets but Walmart has another set that we haven’t had an official image of which is the T. rex Transport (75933). Yes, there was an image of the set on eBay but I didn’t want to report on that earlier. It has 609 pieces but the price point is still a mystery at this time. The minifigures in the set include Zia Rodriguez and two guards but you also get a baby dino as well as a full-sized T-Rex. This set was thought to be a Toys R Us exclusive but it looks like it’ll be available at Walmart as well as on Shop@Home.

Track the Tyrannosaurus Rex in this big-action play set scene inspired by Jurassic World and return it to the transporter, featuring a single-seater truck, detachable container with opening and lockable side panels, and a mobile laboratory unit.

LEGO BrickHeadz Go Brick Me (41597) Review

April 5, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Ever since LEGO revealed the next iteration of the BrickHeadz line with Go Brick Me (41597), LEGO fans may think differently of this set even if they haven’t picked up a single BrickHeadz before. The idea of this set is that you are able to customize the BrickHeadz to your liking whether it be of yourself or pretty much anybody else. It has a generous 708 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a great deal even if you do not intend to build a single BrickHeadz out of this set.

There are are seven different bags along with the instruction booklet and a small sticker sheet. One of the bags is numbered which is used to build the blank BrickHeadz, aka Nonnie, which is used as a template.

The other bags have parts that are used to create your own unique BrickHeadz character. The one with the tan, brown, and dark orange bricks are used for BrickHeadz’ skin color while the colorful bag are used for building the torsos and legs. The parts in the other bags are separated into yellow, orange, brown, and black are used for the head and hair.

The sticker sheet has a number of transparent decals that you can add on to the BrickHeadz for even more detailing. I especially like the Blacktron one as that particular one could be very popular among fans.

Instructions

The instructions for Go Brick Me is a lot more different than the usual instructions we get in other sets. The first few … Continue

LEGO Star Wars May the 4th BB-8 Promotion Rumor

April 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re already a few days into April but you may have noticed that there’s no May 2018 LEGO Store Calendar that I usually report on at the beginning of the month. That’s because LEGO is keeping it under wraps for now for surprise promotions for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event however there are already rumors of what one of the promotions will be. Word has it that BB-8 may be the polybag that will be given out as a gift with purchase and the size would be similar to R2-D2 (30611) from last year. The build would be similar to the BB-8 from the Bricktober 2017 event last year but with printed parts. Stay tuned as we get closer to May for any reveals.

LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) Promotion Live on Shop@Home

The LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) promotion is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. From now until April 15, you can get it for free with purchase of $75 or more, while supplies last. Like with the 40 Years of the Brick promotion, I have a feeling that this promo will sell out fairly quickly.

The set comes with a LEGO designer minifigure along with some microfigures of the Classic Policeman, Pirate, Spaceman, P.I.X.A.L., and a Nurse. There’s also some parts for the design table and it uses the box itself as a layout.

To help you reach the $75 threshold, LEGO has released some new products including Go Brick Me (41597), the Avengers: Infinity War LEGO BrickHeadz, and the Series 18 Collectible Minifigures (71021).

Tiffany Haddish Signs on for The LEGO Movie Sequel

March 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Warner Bros. has had a tight lip on the details of The LEGO Movie Sequel and there hasn’t been a lot of information about it since last September. It has come to light from The Hollywood Reporter that Tiffany Haddish has signed on to voice a brand new character in the franchise. She joins the returning cast of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill with Mike Mitchell at the helm. There’s no mentioning on how Haddish will fit in to the sequel but it’ll be interesting to see how her character will be incorporated to the story.

The LEGO Movie 2 will be in theaters on February 8, 2019 unless it gets delayed.

I haven’t done these posts in a while but Amazon currently has some LEGO City train sets on sale which price matches some other retailers. They are some of the older train sets from 2014 so they could be retired soon given that there’s a rumor of some new train sets coming this summer/fall. There are also some additional track sets that are on sale which are at their lowest prices ever on Amazon including the Flex Tracks (7499) and the Switch Tracks (7895).

LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) Designer Video

March 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) was announced last week and LEGO has released the designer video of the set. This video actually goes into the design process a little bit more than previous designer videos as a majority of the video talks about the set more rather than the LEGO designers Junya Suzuki and Mark Tranter. The LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy set will be available starting on March 31 for the retail price of $34.99.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Found Early at Target

March 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you want to get your hands on the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71021), you may want to your local Target store as they have started to appear at various locations. The price of them have stayed the same with them being $3.99 each. Finding them early is somewhat key if you hope to score the fairly exclusive Policeman minifigure which comes one per box. If you haven’t yet, check out my review of the series and see the breakdown of how many minifigures come in a new box of 60. If you have found them, let us know in the comments where you’ve found yours as it could help others as well.

LEGO The Incredibles Video Game Box Art

March 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week, the internet kind of broke with the reveal of the teaser of the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game comign from the back of the instructions for LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets. There weren’t many details except that it would be coming out for the PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and XBox One.

There’s some new information that came out of Amazon Canada which revealed that the potential release date would be on June 15 which is the same day the movie comes out in theaters. Also on those listings, they’ve also revealed the box art for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The covers show Mr. Incredible in a bulkier LEGO form, Elastigirl, Violet Parr, Dashiell Parr, and Jack-Jack in the foreground with Frozone hovering the in background.

I’ve been told that the official announcement of the game from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be coming out soon so stay tuned for that. There’s no word on an exclusive minifigure to go with the game but I wouldn’t mind having a LEGO minifigure of Frozone since we haven’t had one before.

Facebook recently has been making changes that don’t necessarily help page owners and with the recent news of the data privacy scandal, it’s time to make some changes around here. A few days ago, I start my own subreddit where I can post there without it not being seen by users as Facebook sometimes does. Some of you may have already subscribed to it when I posted on social media that I created the subreddit.

The subreddit also allows users to easily post their own content where without having to go look around FB on how to post on a particular page and it’s chronological, a very good feature.

Anyways, feel free to join the subreddit and connect on there as well. It looks pretty plain but I’ll change out the layout when I have time. Again, thank you everyone for your continued support as we keep evolving.

LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) BrickBros UK Review

March 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO revealed the LEGO Ideas TRON: Legacy (21314) set and the BrickBros UK have already done a review of set. If you don’t know, the BrickBros UK are the submitters of the original design on LEGO Ideas. The set will be available starting a day early on March 31 with the UK having a special signing event at the Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store on March 29.

Downloading from Devon, England, brothers Drew and Tom are the talented fan designers behind the LEGO® Ideas Tron: Legacy set.

Tom and Drew’s small childhood collection of LEGO bricks inspired them to come up with their own scenarios and builds. In designing their LEGO Ideas project, “We went through several models before settling on a design we both liked. We wanted to get the scale of the Light Cycle to minifigure right, and the overall colour scheme had to reflect the Tron feel.”

LEGO Objects to Toys R Us Liquidation Sales

March 21, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Toys R Us’ bankruptcy court hearing was yesterday and they’ve announced that the going out of business sales will being Thursday for the rest of the stores with it running until June or earlier if inventories sell out quicker. Toys R Us says they are working to make the maximum payments they can to the vendors as well as the banks as they are starting to close down more than 700 stores. They are also wanting to stop more than $450 million in payments to suppliers which is a move that will hurt smaller toy companies on their books.

According to a report by Reuters, there are more than 50 vendors, including LEGO, that have objected to the liquidation. Obviously LEGO would like to have their products back instead of having it sold at lower prices in order to make payments to the banks. This corresponds to the memo that I reported on seeing the other day that lists LEGO on the “Do Not Liquidate” list but there are also reports that some stores have listed LEGO sets at 10% off which are probably the older ones.

The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71020)

Last month, I ran The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Contest and it’s now time to announce the winners of the contest. I’m sorry about the lateness of choosing the winners but I’ve been dealing with other things the past few weeks. I was pretty lenient on how the builds were judged and there were some really creative ones. Since LEGO accidentally sent me another box of minifigures, I’ll also be choosing a few runner up winners, in no particular order. I’ll be contacting the winners to get their shipping details and whatnot through the platform used.

Grand Prize Winner

Okay Yaramanoglu – Hugo Strange’s Lab

LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2 Minutes

March 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today in anticipation of Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi coming to home media next week, LEGO and Star Wars has released a new video called LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2 Minutes which is basically an abridged version of the movie. In the middle of the video, we get to the scene in Snoke’s throne room and we may have gotten a sneak peek at the rumored set coming later this year tentatively called the same thing or The Throne Room Duel (75216). The set may not look exactly the same way but it’s assumed that it’ll look somewhat similar. For the play features of the set, it is said that it has a revolving elevator and another feature that drags Rey to the throne and the minifigures will include Snoke, Rey, Kylo Ren, and a couple of Praetorian Guards. Check out the video below.

Toys R Us Closing Liquidation and LEGO Exclusives Details

March 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As we know by now, barring any miracles, all of the Toys R Us stores in the US will be closing in a few months and the main questions are will there be any LEGO sales and what will happen to the TRU exclusives. From the memo that I saw at work, all of the current promotions that are going on will finish out and the liquidation sales that people have been waiting for will start soon unless your store was from the initial wave of closings that were announced.

Also on the memo was the “Do Not Liquidate” list which includes LEGO. From what I saw, it pretty much included all of the newer LEGO sets. It has been talked about around the LEGO community that TRU will be sending all their LEGO products back to LEGO themselves and there will be no sales on the sets, at least the more recent ones. It’s nice to finally see some confirmation and stop with the guessing on whether or not there will be LEGO sales during the liquidation.

As for the TRU exclusives like the Bricktober sets or polybags, it’s hard to say what will happen to them at this time. Since LEGO probably has the rest of the year planned out already, they may have to do some reorganizing for the distribution or delay them. For example, it would be weird to send TRU labeled Bricktober sets to other retailers like Target and that won’t happen. It wouldn’t be a surprise if LEGO made a … Continue

LEGO Jurassic Park and Incredibles 2 Sets Found at Walmart

March 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Jurassic World Incredibles 2 Walmart

Last week, I reported on a couple of new LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets and one of them was the 25th anniversary Jurassic Park set called the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932). It looks like that set has started to hit sheleves a little early at Walmart because a reader has emailed in a couple of images of the set that he was able to purchase at his location in Connecticut.

In addition, he also found the third LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 set which is called Elastigirl’s Rooftop Pursuit (10759). The price was revealed to be $19.99 from the New York Toy Fair and it contains 95 pieces. The minifigures includes Elastigirl and another character.

Your mileage may vary but it’s worth checking out if you are looking forward to these sets. Thanks to Jay for emailing in the images.

LEGO Ranked Number 2 on 2018 Global CSR RepTrak 100

March 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has been announced as the second-most highly regarded company in the world on the 2018 RepTrak 100 survey. The Reputation Institute has annually done the survey in which LEGO ranked first last year but dropped just one spot this year which shows you how much the public still likes the company in terms of emotional appeal. This year also marks the eighth year in a row that LEGO has been in the top 10 on the survey. Check out the press release below.

BILLUND – March 15, 2018: Today, Reputation Institute released the annual RepTrak®100 survey. The LEGO Group maintains its rank from last year as the second-most highly regarded company in the world when it comes to corporate reputation.

Chief Executive Officer of the LEGO Group, Niels B. Christiansen, commented on the results:

“We are very happy and humbled to maintain such high regard by the public. It reflects the unique LEGO® idea and values, and the dedication our employees show every day to bring LEGO play to children all over the world. It is truly an honour to be embraced by the level of affinity that LEGO fans of all ages show us.”

“Since the LEGO brick was patented 60 years ago, we have been committed to inspiring and developing the builders of tomorrow. Our ambition to reach more children with LEGO experiences is more important than ever, and our purpose is what drives us and keeps us on our toes. What is truly important about this ranking is what lies behind it;

The video features LEGO designers Justin Ramsden and Adam Corbally who talk about some of the features of the set.

The Hulkbuster is available again on Shop@Home after being on backstock for a few days after its release a few weeks ago. Now is a good time to pick it up if you’ve been waiting on it because of the double VIP points promotion that’s currently going on.

Some of the younger generation don’t know that LEGO started out as a wooden toy company before they transitioned into the LEGO bricks we know today. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick, JK Brickworks has built his own version of the classic wooden duck using modern bricks and he has also provided the building instructions including the parts list consisting of a moderate 377 pieces. If you watch the video below, you can see the duck in motion with the opening and closing mouth feature. Of course, you can also change the colors to your liking.

Avengers: Infinity War Final Trailer Released

Marvel has released the highly anticipated final trailer for Avengers: Infinity War and it looks very epic. We can see some new scenes that we haven’t seen before and we can somewhat correspond them to some of the LEGO sets that have been released already.

Note that Hawkeye still hasn’t made an appearance in the trailers or promotional products so I assume he’ll be used similar to how Spider-Man was used in Captain America: Civil War.

The movie will premiere in theaters on April 27 but you can now pick up the sets on Shop@Home and on Amazon

LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet Review

March 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in January, LEGO released an exclusive vintage LEGO Classic Bricks on a Roll (10715) and if you redeemed it via your receipt, you’re supposed to get the 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet. It looks like they have started to finally ship out and I’ve just received mine after I submitted my receipt at the end of January.

The 60th Anniversary Collectible Booklet comes in a standard white mailer and when you take it out, there’s also black envelope with the 60 Years logo wrapped around it. The cover of the booklet is again embossed with the logo and as you can see, they are numbered on the bottom left. My copy is a very low 482/15,000.

Inside you get a history lesson of LEGO and the LEGO brick that is divided in to decades from the 1950’s to the 2010’s. Within each decade, there are some fun facts that you may not have known about unless you’re caught up with every bit of LEGO history. Did you know the first sets with building instruction manuals didn’t come out until 1964?

After that, there’s a nice looking periodic table of LEGO elements that is filled with a variety of parts. The legend at the boom also gives you some of the nomenclature for the LEGO elements.

At back of the booklet, there’s a list of Top 10 LEGO sets of all time as voted by the AFOL community. I’m not sure when or where the voting took place as I don’t remember doing a post about it … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardian’s Ship (30525) Polybag Found at Walmart

March 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Infinity War The Guardian's Ship (30525)

In some lighter news on a polybag found at a retailer that won’t be closing any time soon, the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Guardian’s Ship (30525) is now available for purchase at Walmart. The polybag was originally available on Shop@Home a few weeks ago as a gift-with-purchase but you can get it by itself for $3.97 each. They can be found at the LEGO section of the store. If you want, you can check out my review of the polybag here.

Toys R Us Will be Selling or Closing All US Stores

March 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like the sun will be setting for Toys R Us permanently as The Wall Street Journal has reported that the company will sell or close all of its remaining stores in the United States. The news came from CEO David Brandon in a conference call to employees and it will result in about 33,000 people losing their jobs, me included. It was been reported that Toys R Us will file for liquidation ahead of the court hearing tomorrow. I’ve read that Toys R Us Canada will not be affected but Toys R Us UK will be closing their stores as well.

I started a Toys R Us a few years ago during the holiday season and was actually pretty excited for it. It was busy and I remember working long hours but it was worth it to see kids and adults happy. That all changed recently after the company filed for bankruptcy last year. The mood shifted and everyone was on edge thinking when our last day will be. I honestly still don’t know as the conference call happened after I got off work today. I will probably hear more about it tomorrow.

Just the feeling of walking into a legit toy store is different from your other retailers like Walmart or Target whose selection isn’t as vast as Toys R Us. I’m sure you’ve felt the same way as a child and maybe as an adult as well. I’m just sad that my future children won’t experience the same thing unless another toy-centric … Continue

This set shows the scene from Jurassic Park where Alan, Ellie, Lex, and Tim are in the control room with the velociraptor breaking in. If you look closely at the images, there are lots of easter eggs thrown in like the Dennis Nedry magic word screen and the cold storage room with the embryos.

LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Winning Model Controversy

March 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ideas Moments in Space winner was announced a few weeks ago but when you first look at it, you wouldn’t think there would be some controversy behind it. As you can see above, the winning entry was a coin-operated space shuttle by mjsmiley that you can probably find in front of a supermarket or a convenience store.

This is where the controversy comes in or it may just be a big coincidence and people are looking too much into it. Samuel over on the Brickset Forums had been providing members of the forum with instructions for the 2016 LEGO Brand Manager Retail Conference build which is also a coin-operated shuttle, shown below. As you can see, they do have some similarities and the creator has stated that they’ve never seen the Retail Conference build before.

I decided to take a little time after the announcement to see what people were saying about it. I honestly don’t know if the build was intentionally ripped it off or not but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt however, others are still skeptical on the forums and on social media. I think it’s a cute little build that I’m looking forward to getting as a gift-with-purchase sometime next year. Plus I doubt that LEGO themselves didn’t forget about a set they’ve released for the retail side of the company. For now, I think it’s a legit entry to the contest with some creative differences in a similar building style.

LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) Price Reported to be Around 179.99 Euros

March 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There still hasn’t been any information about the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) set since it was announced that it would be become an official set until now. A user on Reddit has reported that the set will be 179.99 Euro/829.99 PLN which is equivalent to about $199.99 USD. This will make the LEGO Voltron set the most expensive one for the LEGO Ideas theme.

Because of the rumored price point, we can expect that it will have the most pieces in a LEGO Ideas set considering how big it will be with the five lions. For me personally, I love Voltron and if you somehow found my personal Instagram, you’ll see that I collect a variety of Voltron toys and I’ve been very anxiously waiting for the reveal of the set. The price point won’t probably deter me from picking it up, maybe even two, to display it both in lion mode and in combined mode, however it also may not appeal to others because of the high price point. Since it may be a summer or fall release, hopefully we get to see it at San Diego Comic Con since it’ll be a very worthy set to be on display there.

LEGO Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition Modifications by Chubbybots

March 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve purchased the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105), you may have noticed that it has somewhat limited articulation to it, especially with the knees. This is before LEGO mech builder Chubbybots came along and did some modifications to it to make it what it could’ve been in the first place. He doesn’t provide a parts list or instructions but he has released a video showing the techniques he used to give the Hulkbuster more movement in the joints as well as bulkier looking shoulders. Check out the video below and subscribe to his channel if you’re interested in more mech-type builds.

What’s cool about this polybag is that there are enough parts in a polybag to recreate each of the main vehicles for the Ultimate Batmobile. The instructions are provided for the Batmobile shown on front of the polybag and the other builds can be downloaded here.

LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path U-3PO Minifigure Revealed

LEGO has revealed the U-3PO minifigure that’s in the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: Choose Your Path book that’s coming this summer. It’s a real disappointment as it looks to be the exact same as the one found in the LEGO Star Wars 2016 Advent Calendar unless my eyes deceive me. Usually the DK books will include an exclusive variant of a character but this is just lazy on both DK and LEGO’s part. If you didn’t get the advent calendar, the book is the cheapest way to get U-3PO unless you get it individually on BrickLink or eBay.

The LEGO Group 2017 Annual Report Results

March 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today The LEGO Group has released the 2017 Annual Results and the results weren’t as good as they had expected. The consumer sales remained flat throughout the year as they sold out of inventory as compared to 2016 but trended upwards towards the end of the year. This is the first time in 12 years that profits has declined and net profit dropped 17%.

The top selling themes for 2017 include LEGO City, Star Wars, DUPLO, Creator, Friends. Star Wars remains a popular novelty theme and remains in line with their expectations.

Digitalization remains a high priority as LEGO Boost was on a lot of kids’ wishlist during the holiday season. The LEGO channel on YouTube is the number one brand channel on the site. LEGO Life continues to be a popular app among kids which gives them a safe place to share their creations.

– Revenue for the full year decreased by 8 percent to DKK 35.0 billion compared with DKK 37.9 billion in 2016. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, revenue for the full year declined 7 percent compared with 2016.

The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526) Available at Toys R Us

March 5, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re looking for The LEGO Batman Movie The Mini Ultimate Batmobile (30526), you may want to check out your nearest Toys R Us store as there are reports that they have started to show up there. The instructions show you how to build the regular Batmobile but there are additional instructions for the Bat-Tank and Batwing. The only downside is that you get enough parts in one polybag for one of the vehicles so you’ll have to purchase three polybags to create the complete thing. Like with the larger 70917 counterpart, you are able to connect all three together to create The Ultimate Batmobile.

In addition to Toys R Us, the polybag has also been seen at Fred Meyer as well as LEGOLAND parks/Discover Centers. The only upside to TRU is that they are more widespread than the others, minus the ones that are closing.

Last year at September, they released the financial details for the first half of 2017 and it showed that revenue was down compared to the same period in 2016. As a result, LEGO had to restructure the company which meant that they had to move some people around as well as trimming about eight percent of their workforce.

The press conference tomorrow will be revealing the numbers for last year as well as the top LEGO themes and sets. Hopefully, they’ll go into details of what contributed to the lost revenue at least in the first half of 2017. Maybe the second half of the year with the holiday shopping season helped balance everything out but we shall see. I’ll try to stay up for it but I’ll probably get knocked out because I have to work early tomorrow morning.

If you’ve been looking for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Black Panther Royal Talon Fighter (30450) polybag, Walmart is the place to go as there are various reports of people finding it there. They are either located at the LEGO section of the store or at the spring/Easter display box. This polybag is basically a smaller version of the ship from the Royal Talon Fighter Attack (76100) set. Some of you may not be interested in it that much but may be of interest for polybag collectors.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulkbuster Art Print Details

March 3, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Hulkbuster Art Print (5005573)

Today was the release of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition (76105) and whether you purchased it online or got it at a LEGO Brand Store early, you will receive two different prints illustrated by Roy Lim. I decided to take the chance and went to my LEGO Store to get it and upon inspection of the prints, they are more high quality than the usual posters we’ve gotten before. These are not the paper type posters but more of a thicker card stock with some texturing on both sides of it and the size of them are 10″ x 13″.

The thicker card stock means that they will get a crease in them if ever they get folded or get hit on the sides. This is a reason why I went to the LEGO Store instead of purchasing it online so I could keep them in near pristine condition. I have a feeling that they will get damaged in the shipping boxes unless they are in some protective envelopes.

As for the Hulkbuster set itself, it is currently now on backorder and will ship by March 17 as of this post. I also noticed that the sketch print no longer shows up in the cart as it appears to have sold out but the colored version is still available.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot Keychain (5005244) Revealed

March 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Singapore LEGO Certified Store, Bricks World, has revealed a new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Teen Groot (5005244) Keychain polybag that will be released in the near future. I believe this is the third keychain polybag that LEGO has released so far with the first two being the Kiss Kiss Batman and Master Wu.

This version of Teen Groot has it with an angry expression which is different from the one found in the Thor’s Weapon Quest (76102) so that’s a little disappointing for those want regular minifigure with that expression.

There’s no word yet on availability here in the US but it’ll probably be part of a LEGO promotion in an upcoming month. The original date for the Avengers: Infinity War release was in May before it got bumped up so it’s possible that we could see it then.

The Italian March/April 2018 LEGO Store promotional booklet has been released and on the back of it, it shows that the LEGO Ideas Tron (21314) will be released in April. There hasn’t been any details of the set ever since it was announced as the next official LEGO Ideas set. Since Tron will be released in April, it looks like the reveal won’t be long so stay tuned for that.

The LEGO Ideas Moments in Space contest was a really popular one and LEGO has announced the winner and the model that will be turned into a Gift with Purchase set in the near future. And the winner is…Cosmic Rocket Ride! (Coin Operated) by mjsmiley. I had a feeling that this model would be chosen as it had lots of appeal and the LEGO judges felt the same way. You can check out the judging breakdown and the rest of the runner up builds as well an honorable mention winner in the link above. Congratulations to the winner and I’m excited to see how LEGO converts it into a future GWP set.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) Promotion Coming Back in April

March 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in December right when the promotion for the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) was about to begin, LEGO announced that it would be cancelled due to part of it not meeting quality standards. Fast forward a few months and it looks like LEGO has fixed whatever issue it had and the promotion will be back on from April 13 – May 3. The promo will be similar to before where you have to spend $60 or more on a LEGO Star Wars purchase. The only difference is that the promotional period is shorter and will end right before the May the 4th promo begins. I know there’s a specific niche of collectors who like these pod type sets and will be glad to know that the Darth Vader Pod wasn’t completely cancelled, just delayed.

LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358) Coming in April

March 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO will celebrating the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure in April and there are things happening next month to commemorate the event. One of the things is the release of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures which will have a special Classic Police Officer to find. Another thing they are doing is releasing an exclusive promotional LEGO Minifigure Factory (5005358). According to the April 2018 LEGO Store Calendar, you can get for free with a purchase of $75 or more from April 1-15, while supplies last.

The set itself looks like it will be using the cardboard box it comes in as part of the layout. The build will include a factory with some microfigures such as a classic spaceman, a policeman, and what looks to be P.I.X.A.L. from Ninjago as well as a red wagon on the side. The minifigure also looks interesting as it seems to have a nice looking yellow shirt. One of the bummers of this set is that it does use part of the box as the setting and not using LEGO bricks to create the walls. I think this is a misstep but we’ll have to get a clearer look when the official images come out in a few weeks to make a judgement on it.

What do you think of the set and will you be picking it up next month?

LEGO Launches Initiative for Sustainable LEGO Bricks and Boxes

March 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has launched a new initiative to start producing LEGO plant elements using plant-based plastic that is created from sugarcane. There will also be LEGO boxes that will be using the same methods as well and we can expect those already for 2018. This move is part of The LEGO Group’s dedication to use sustainable materials in a majority of their products and packaging by 2030. It’ll be interesting to see how if there are any notable differences in the plant elements and how they hold up in the run.

LEGO® botanical elements such as leaves, bushes and trees will be made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane in the future and will appear in LEGO boxes already in 2018.

Production has started on a range of sustainable LEGO® elements made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The new sustainable LEGO ‘botanical’ elements will come in varieties including leaves, bushes and trees.

“At the LEGO Group we want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. We are proud that the first LEGO elements made from sustainably sourced plastic are in production and will be in LEGO boxes this year. This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all LEGO bricks using sustainable materials,” said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group.

The move is part of the LEGO Group’s commitment to use sustainable materials in core products and packaging by 2030.

Even More LEGO BrickHeadz Rumored for 2018

February 28, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week, I talked about some of the upcoming 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets which included the new Justice League, Back to the Future, and Minecraft as well as some Wizarding World BrickHeadz sets as announced during the New York Toy Fair. I’ve just received some new information for even more BrickHeadz sets from other themes that will be coming later this year. These BrickHeadz sets will encompass Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Frozen, and Star Wars.

First for the Wizarding World BrickHeadz, there will be two sets, one possibly of Newt Scamander and a two pack most likely consisting of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger.

For Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, it is rumored be a two pack as well. The characters will most likely be of Owen and Claire but I’m hoping for one of them to be Ian Malcolm.

For Frozen, there will be two sets, one with Elsa and another two pack of Anna and Olaf.

Lastly for Star Wars, there are supposedly four sets in the pipeline which include Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and a two pack of Luke Skywalker and Yoda.

As always, these are purely rumors unless LEGO announces them or they are revealed on online toy shop product pages.

Justice League – Tactical Batman & Superman (41610) – $19.99
Back to the Future – Marty McFly & Doc Brown (41611) – $19.99
Minecraft – Steve & Creeper (41612) – $19.99
