LEGO Star Wars Rebels AT-DP Polybag (30274) Review

January 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

If you made a LEGO Star Wars purchase at the LEGO Store or on Shop@Home, you would have received one of the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels polybags for 2015, the 65-piece AT-DP (30274).

LEGO Star Wars Rebels AT-DP Polybag (30274)

If you’re not familiar with the All Terrain Defense Pod, that is because it is a fairly new Imperial walker that’s mostly been seen so far in the Star Wars Rebels animated series. It is a variant of the AT-ST and has a armored head with a single laser cannon that is mounted in the lower front area. They are deployed to check out areas that have suspected Rebel activity.

Although the AT-DP is a smaller version, it does have a similiar look as its larger counterpart with set 75083. Note that it does not come with a minifigure but I’ve displayed one next to the AT-DP to show a size comparison.

Overall, the AT-DP (30274) is good for what you get, if you can get it. I’m hearing reports that Shop@Home is no longer offering the polybag even if you have a Star Wars set in your shopping cart. I’m not sure if they ran out online or if LEGO is still having issues with their website. As far as I know, LEGO Brand Stores are still handing these out but you may want to make your purchases earlier in the month and not wait because they will eventually run out as well.

More LEGO Summer 2015 Set Rumors (Creator, Elves, Friends, DUPLO)

January 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Just2Good has more information about some of the Summer 2015 sets from various themes. The details were provided by Eurobricks member demitri. The LEGO Elves theme is back with a second wave of sets. LEGO Friends will be introducing a new sub-theme called “Friends Pop Star.” DUPLO will be introducing the popular Disney Junior show Doc McStuffins to their lineup. Keep in mind that this is not the full list of sets and there will probably be more sets included in the summer wave, especially with Creator.

LEGO The Hobbit 2015 Bain Variant Minifigure Found

January 3, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

It looks like the LEGO The Hobbit theme may be finished but there’s still one more minifigure that will be available this year. Over on a listing on TaoBao, there is an image of a new minifigure variant of Bain. If my speculation is correct, the minifigure will most likely be a Target exclusive for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack that will be available in a few month. Before we’ve seen Target Blu-Ray exclusive minifigures with Bilbo Baggins in An Unexpected Journey and Legolas Greenleaf in The Desolation of Smaug.

This version of Bain is a little different from the one in the Attack on Lake-town (79016) set. Although it is disappointing that we get another version of Bain instead of other unreleased characters but LEGO The Hobbit completionists will probably want to pick it up.

January 3, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

LEGO Customer Services has updated their database and a lot of the instructions for the 2015 sets and also included were all this year’s polybags that will be available. Instead of doing separate posts for all of them, here’s a round-up of what you can expect to hit stores later this year. Some of them have already shown up at retailers as well as LEGO promos but I’ll add them here since they are part of the 2015 LEGO polybag lineup. If they are already available, I’ll add a note specifying how to obtain it. The only one that is missing an image is the LEGO DUPLO Snail (30218).

Note: These are only polybags with set 30xxx and does not include promotional minifigure polybags or ones that have set number 4xxxx.

LEGO Seasonal Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) Review

January 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday was the first day of new LEGO set releases for 2015 and we have our first review of the year with the LEGO Seasonal Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120). The set contains 114 pieces and retails for $9.99.

LEGO Seasonal Valentine's Day Dinner (40120)

Minifigures

There are two minifigures in the set, the male fiancé-to-be and the female fiancé-to-be. The male wears a dark blue pinstripe suit with a tie. The legs are also dark blue. He has a confident smirk on his face as though he knows the female will accept his proposal.

The female minifigure wears a purple blouse with flower patterns on the front of the torso. She also has purple pants to match the torso. She has a happy expression with a short bob cut hairstyle.

Build

The build itself is a small vignette which is part of the inside of a restaurant. It is has a two seater round table filled with wine glasses and pink cakes. What’s nice about this set is the sand green profile bricks that you get. They only appeared in two other sets and there are seven of them in this Valentine’s Day Dinner set. If you’re looking to stock up on them, this is probably the most efficient way to get them. If you’ve bought them before on BrickLink, you know they don’t come by cheap. There are also a couple of lamps that hang on the wall as well as some flowers that sit on the window sill.

Also included in this set is a brick-built gift box … Continue

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 13 (71008) Collect & Win

January 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Series 13 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71008) have been officially released for a day now and many of you have gotten a couple of them, probably all of them. You may notice a mysterious “Collect & Win” logo on the box, packets, as well as on the inserts.

When you follow the link, it’ll direct you to enter the code that is included with every minifigure. This code allows you to unlock the corresponding character in the LEGO Minifigures Online game as well as a chance for free Diamonds, 3 days of membership, be able to loot Super Chests, and gain Stars faster when you enter it in-game but that’s not all. Keep in mind that you won’t be getting all the things listed. I entered the codes for all my minifigures and I got Diamonds only once or twice. All of the other ones were the 3 day memberships.

On the next page, you can try your luck to win some random LEGO sets. All you need to do is to enter your email that LEGO can use to contact you if you are chosen as a winner. Each code you enter gives you more chances to win so it’s sort of an incentive to buy more minifigures. Odds of actually winning is probably small to none but it doesn’t hurt to try.
