March 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday, LEGOLAND California opened their doors to the public for to see the new LEGO Star Wars Miniland Death Star model which was created with more than 500,000 LEGO bricks. It is the largest LEGO model in the Miniland standing at 13 feet high, 8 feet wide and weighing more than 1,900 pounds. Check out the video below of Fox 5 giving you a sneak peek of the Death Star.

The unveiling of the Death Star kicks off the weekend early with the LEGO Star Wars Days event being held on March 7 and 8. Local builders will be on hand to display lots of cool MOCs. I’ve seen some early shots of the builds and they look awesome so far. I’ll be at LEGOLAND on Sunday, March 8 to cover Star Wars Days so stay tuned for lots of pictures of the event.

Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex Achieves 10,000 Supporters on LEGO Ideas

March 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex by senteosan is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you remember back in 2013, the Tyrannosaurus was part of his LEGO CUUSOO Jurassic Park project before it was archived due to licensing issues. This was also before Jurassic Park sets were allowed again on LEGO Ideas.

As a Jurassic Park/dinosaur fan, I do like the overall look of the set and it would make a great display piece. The Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex project now joins The Discworld, Science Adventures, the Medieval Market Street, Disney Princess Frozen: Elsa’s Ice Palace, and the Douglas DC-3 to qualify for the First 2015 Review Stage.

A few days ago, we wrote about fellow reader Michael Bradford’s trip to Billund, Denmark and the LEGO Factory Tour. During the same trip, Michael also visited the LEGO Idea House which is pretty much a historical exhibition of The LEGO Group. The building is mostly for employees and business relations however, Michael was allowed to visit and has shot a video of the LEGO Idea House and giving us a sneak peek into something that the public rarely has a chance to see. Check out the video as it takes you on the tour of the museum as if you were there in person.

LEGO Store March 2015 Monthly Mini Build Event Robot (40128) Review

March 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

LEGO March 2015 Monthly Mini Build - Robot (40128)

Yesterday was the March 2015 Monthly Mini Build event at LEGO Stores and the build was a Robot (40128). It seems that LEGO has been going for a space theme connection recently with the Monthly Builds this year so far with the Alien (40126) in January, the Space Shuttle (40127) last month, the Robot from yesterday, and an UFO (40129) for April. The event itself was pretty packed, more so than the previous couple of months. It seemed like many kids were building the set inside the store as well.

The 50 piece Robot has a cool look to it with some interesting pieces to go along with it. It has a head that swivels a full 360 degrees. The arms are articulated on the newer ball joint pieces. The torso area on the front has a printed 1×4 tile with gauges and dials while the back has a windup key.
