August 11, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

LEGO has officially announced the next direct-to-consumer set with the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254). The newest Winter Village themed set for 2016 contains 734 pieces and retails for $99.99. If you’re a VIP member, you can pick up the exclusive Winter Holiday Train starting on September 15 as stated on the September 2016 Store Calendar.

This year marks nine years since the last Holiday Train (10173) and the new one is not a re-release of the previous set unlike what happened with last year’s Winter Toy Shop (10249). One feature that the train has is the Power Functions (not included) which allows you to control it remotely which is a feature that many people wanted. In addition, you also get 16 curved train pieces to create a complete circle.

Again the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) will be available starting on September 15 for VIPs and to the general public on October 1. Check out the press release and more images below.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) Review

August 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

From now until August 15 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home, LEGO is giving out the LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) with purchases of $75 or more as part of their main promotion for the month in the US and Canada. The contents of the box include two unnumbered bags, a 2×12 black plate, the instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet.

The 118-piece build is simple as you pretty much stack bricks and plates up. As the bus is a double-decker, both levels are similar with slight differences. The lower level has a lot of windows which uses the 1×2 trans-clear bricks. Not immediately shown on the front is the fairly new 1×2/2×4 angle plate used to attach the black grill pieces and 1×1 trans-clear studs for the headlights. The back left of the bus has an opening for bus entrance and a 1×1 tile for the step. At the very back, there are some 1×1 trans-clear studs for the tail lights. To finish off the lower level, there’s a 1×2 white tile with a sticker for the license plate.

For the upper level of the London Bus, there are more of the 1×2 trans-clear bricks along with some 1×1 trans-clear bricks for the windows. The main feature here are some of the large bus advertisement stickers for the set. On the left side, the sticker features the Union Jack flag along with the Big Ben (10253) with the words, “NOW’S THE TIME TO VISIT!” On the opposite side of the London Bus, there’s … Continue

LEGO has graciously sent a copy of the set for us to review. The set contains 1,167 pieces and retails for $99.99. The Volkswagen Beetle follows along the same scale of some of the other LEGO Creator sets that have been released in the past like the Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (10220) and the Mini Cooper (10242). The contents of the box include eight numbered bags, the instruction booklet, a sticker sheet, and four loose tires.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) Polybag Revealed

June 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

Earlier today, Brickset uploaded an image of a new LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) polybag which features a double decker bus. There’s no word on how to obtain the polybag at this point as there is nothing listed on the LEGO Store calendar for July. We’ll have to wait and see if it is part of an August promo or not since the it goes great with the upcoming LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253) which will be releasing mid-June for VIPs and to the general public on July 1.

We’ll also have to see if this is a regional set or not as it does feature something prominent from the UK and we usually don’t get stuff like that here in the US. If it is, you can always build your own with the instructions but you’ll be missing the stickers for the advertisements on the sides of the bus.
