LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us Building Event on June 18

June 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us June 18 Building Event

Toys R Us has updated their in-store events page and on Saturday, June 18 from 11am-1pm, there will be a LEGO building event. For this one, it will be a LEGO Speed Champions Winner’s Circle Podium build which features a small podium with a trophy. Also pictured in the foreground are a couple of minifigures but they probably won’t be included so don’t get your hopes up on that.

The event is free and is intended for children but if you get lucky, older participants are sometimes allowed too. Make sure you get there early as these LEGO Toys R Us building events usually have long lines unless you live in a small city.

**Note: This is for Toys R Us USA.**

December 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you’ve been following my posts for the past week, you would know that our friend Just2Good has been posting official box art images for the 2016 sets. He’s back again with another video and this time it is for the LEGO Speed Champions theme. As I mentioned before, there are some new car manufacturers that are included in the upcoming wave including Chevrolet, Ford, and Audi and returning from this year is Porsche. There will be seven sets in 2016 but the ones that interest me the most are the Audi ones. Which sets are you looking forward to?

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (75870)
Ford Mustang GT (75871)
Audi R18 e-tron quattro (75872)
Audi R8 LMS Ultra (75873)
Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race (75874)

LEGO Speed Champions 2016 Set Images Revealed

December 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

I’m back with more exciting news today which comes from Flickr user carlboettcher and this time, we have the new 2016 wave of LEGO Speed Champions sets. Yes, car enthusiasts rejoice as there will be seven sets coming in next year. There have been watermarked images about these sets a few months ago and that’s why I didn’t post them but now we are able to see them fairly clearly. As I mentioned before, there will be new car manufacturers included in this wave such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Audi which joins Porsche as the returning brand from 2015.

LEGO 2016 Official Set Images (Partial)

October 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 36 Comments

I’m not sure how long these will stay up but Bothan spies (whung, CM4sci, J2G) over on Eurobricks has found a slew of LEGO 2016 set images found on LEGO’s servers already. Note that these images are official and do not have watermarks but LEGO can decide to remove them from the servers at any time. Some of the images are system sets while some are promotional or polybag sets. What sets are you looking forward to?

Update: LEGO has taken down all their links on their server but the good folks at Brickset had them backed up.

Update 2: LEGO has begun telling sites to remove the images so I’ve complied to their wish. If you’re looking for them, they’re still out there on the web. You just have to find them.

LEGO 2016 Set Name Listings on Amazon.de

August 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 46 Comments

Today Amazon.de has upload a ton of listings for various upcoming LEGO 2016 sets. There were many posts on Eurobricks on these listings but I’ve organized them alphabetically by theme. Thanks to CM4sci for the heads up. The set names are loosely translated from German so they might not be the official names but they give you an idea of what the sets are. This list does correspond to the list that came out a few days ago.

Update: LEGO has asked sites to remove the list. Amazon.de messed up and accidentally posted it just a little bit too early. Sorry folks.

ReBrick has a new LEGO building contest going to celebrate the future of McLaren Automotive. All you have to do is to build what you think the next McLaren supercar should look like. One lucky winner will be able to join the McLaren Automotive team for a day at the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed and have their build displayed as well as winning some swag such as the whole line of LEGO Speed Champions sets signed by the designers. You can read the official rules and entry guidelines for the contest here. The contest ends on June 1, 2015, 2:59 pm CEST. Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it the last few nights.

LEGO Speed Champions Mech MOC

April 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

A couple of days ago, I came across this cool MOC by Geng Lei loosely translated as Flying Tigers. This MOC consists of a couple of the new LEGO Speed Champions sets as well as from the LEGO City Monster Truck Transporter (60027).

The MOC gives off a Voltron Vehicle Force look to it combined with a Transformers feel. The skeleton of the mech is created from some LEGO Hero Factory parts while the exoskeleton is created with the various vehicles including the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder, and two Porsche 911s.

As a fan of both Voltron/Transformers and the LEGO Speed Champions theme, this MOC to me is very well done and it gives off that coolness factor.

Update: Chris has informed me that the MOC looks more like Menasor which is pretty true.
