LEGO Officially Announces Two New Chinese New Year 2020 Sets

November 4, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has officially announced two brand new LEGO Seasonal sets to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year with the Lion Dance (80104) and the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105). Both sets will be available in China and Asia Pacific markets starting on December 26, 2019 and the rest of the world on January 10, 2020.

The details on the sets such as piece counts are still unavailable but we do know one set is $79.99 according to the press kit but not sure which set that goes to. I’m going to assume it is for the Temple Fair since the Lion Dance looks fairly small. Check out the press release and the official images of both of the sets below.

Update: We’ve finally got some pricing and piece counts for the set. The Lion Dance is $79.99 for 882 pieces while the Chinese New Year Temple Fair is $119.99 with 1664 pieces.

LEGO Ideas 10 Year Anniversary Fan Vote Winner Announced

June 4, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, LEGO ran the LEGO Ideas 10 Year Anniversary Fan Vote which allows you to vote on four projects that are given another chance to become an official set. The contest is now over and the winner has been announced this morning as the International Space Station by XCLD. The votes have also been revealed and the project had 10,438 votes or 45.6% of all the votes placed. The other project had the following number of votes:

Stitch by Legohaulic – 5,739
Sega Classic Arcade Machines by SpacySmoke- 3,788
Small YELLOW by Nathan Sawaya – 2,924

This was a pretty surprising outcome as I expected another project to be chosen. Nevertheless, congratulations to XCLD and we’ll know more details about the International Space Station when it is released some time in 2020.

LEGO Ideas celebrated their 10th anniversary last year and today, LEGO announced that they are doing something special that kind of resembles one of my April Fool’s joke from a few years ago. This new 10 Year Anniversary Review will bring back a few LEGO Ideas projects that were not approved to become an official set for a second chance to become one. There are four projects that have been pre-approved by the review board which you can vote on and they are:

Small YELLOW

You will be able to vote on these projects for two weeks and it close on June 4. The votes will be hidden so the numbers won’t be skewed and the final vote count will be revealed at the end of the voting period.

Back in November of last year, the nominees for the 2019 Toy of the Year awards were announced and LEGO was nominated for a few categories. The awards show was yesterday and I’m happy to report that LEGO has won in four of the seven categories they were in. It seemed that many of the voters enjoyed the return of the LEGO Harry Potter line as the theme took home three awards. Another great for LEGO and it looks like they’re already making a run for next year’s awards with the newly announced LEGO Hidden Side theme.

Celebrating half a century of big building fun with LEGO®DUPLO®

BILLUND, January 29, 2019:Today we mark 50 years since theLEGO Group unveiled its inaugural large brick for small hands (yes that would be 1969) – the same year the first person set foot on the moon. You can decide which was the bigger moment for mankind (although could Apollo 11 be dismantled and rebuilt into a racing car?) but, either way, below are some highlightsfromhalf a century of big building fun.

Ludamus! A Latin origin
Did you know the nameDUPLO®derives from the Latin word ‘duplex’meaning double? The name first featured on two LEGO® DUPLO sets launched in 1969 – set no. 510 and no. 511 if you like specifics.

And did you know that LEGODUPLO bricks are twice the size of classic LEGO bricks on all dimensions? This is so all our bricks fit into the LEGO System in Play,but finding this 2:1 scale solution was no easy task.We tried both 4:1 and 3:1 scale before Godtfred Kirk Christiansen – second generation LEGO Group owner -in 1968 came up with the idea (during his sleep!) to hollow the

Rumored LEGO Star Wars 20 Years Set List

January 26, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier this month, I reported that we will be getting some 20th Anniversary sets for LEGO Star Wars in April and some of the sets that were rumored were the Slave I (75243) and Anakin’s Pod Racer (75258). PromoBricks has reported some other rumored sets in the wave and the list now consists of:

Slave I (75243) – 1007 pieces
Anakin’s Pod Racer (75258) – 279 pieces
Snowspeeder (75259) – 309 pieces
Clone Scout Walker (75261) – 250 pieces
Imperial Dropship (75262) – 125 pieces

They have also reported that each set will come with an exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure with a printed plate. Those characters include Leia Organa (75243), Luke Skywalker (75258), Lando Calrissian (75259), Darth Vader (75261) and Han Solo (75262). I’m not sure how those characters relate to the sets as they don’t even correspond to the sets.
