The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609) Polybag Review

September 22, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Today is the premiere of The LEGO Ninjago Movie in theaters and LEGO has started a new promotion in stores and on Shop@Home for the Lloyd (30609) minifigure polybag. This version of Lloyd is exclusive to this polybag and is seen partly in the movie and is a little bit different from the Lloyd you get in The LEGO Ninjago Movie Collectible Minifigures.

The torso has printing of his green hoodie slightly zipped up over his ninja suit. This is a little different than the CMF one where he has a white shirt underneath instead. The legs are the same ones as in the CMF where he has on black pants with a brown belt and some printing of the bottom part of the hoodie. He has a single sided head with an angry expression. The hoodie/hair mold is also the same one as before but his hair is now light gray. I also want to note that the hair has some black misprinting on it. I’m not sure if this is a widespread issue or not. His accessory is his sword with a pearl-gold tassel. He does not come with the black stand as I use it for all my minifigure reviews.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Lloyd (30609) polybag is now free with purchases of $50 more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. It’s a neat little exclusive but the gray hair seems a little off and makes Lloyd look older than he should. Other than that, it’s another exclusive to get for The … Continue

New The LEGO Ninjago Movie Sets Revealed

There is a new image of some of the next wave of The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets from a German site promoting a contest they’re running. The two sets shown are the Piranha Attack (70629) and the Quake Mech (70632). The Piranha Attack set is a neat army building set which includes the Piranha Mech and a a rickshaw. The other set is the Quake Mech which looks neat. I’m interested in seeing how it stands by itself.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Spoiler-Free Review

September 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

A few days ago, I attended an early press screening for The LEGO Ninjago Movie and here’s a non-spoiler review of the film. After the box office hits for The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie, I didn’t know if it could live up to the expectations the previous films did.

The story itself focuses on Lloyd and Garmadon for a majority of the movie which has been referenced in the trailers and promotional products. Dave Franco did a decent job voicing Lloyd while Justin Theroux captured Garmadon perfectly. Gone was the serious Garmadon from the animated TV series and in comes a lighthearted yet fearsome portrayal of the character. The other ninjas were in a number of scenes but to me, they are more secondary characters behind La-Lloyd. Since this is a Ninjago movie, I would’ve thought they would add more to the story but it seemed that they were thrown to the wayside. The other characters that sort of stood out a bit more than the other ninjas were Master Wu and and Koko.

The animation was better than I expected. The sequences with the mechs and vehicles were really good and it does make the sets pop out a lot more. The action scenes were top-notch and there were easter eggs paying homage to the old school kung-fu movies. One thing that seemed a little off was that the movie does not use all brick elements to make. The water, beach sand, and grass was just some of the things that aren’t … Continue

The LEGO Ninjago Movie Target Scavenger Hunt

September 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Next Saturday, September 30, Target stores are holding a scavenger hunt event for The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It will be held from 10am-1pm, local time, and for completing the hunt, there is a prize for it. I haven’t heard of events held at Target so I’m not sure how organized it will be. Hopefully it won’t be as bad as Walmart was for The LEGO Batman Movie.

Go to your local Target store on Saturday, September 30th from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (local time) to accept your Ninja Mission and earn a cool ninja reward. Find out if you have what it takes to complete the challenge! Offer good while prize supplies last. No rainchecks.

Toys R Us Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

September 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

As we know by now, Toys R Us has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy but what will happen with the company and all the LEGO exclusives we could get from them? As an employee of Toys R Us/Babies R Us, what I’ve been told by my manager is that we’ll still be running normally like we’ve been running. No stores will be closing in the short term but may close poor performing stores after the holiday season. As for reports that a lot of vendors have refused to ship products, those are only for the smaller companies. I believe the larger companies like Mattel, Hasbro, and even LEGO are still getting products to the stores. There won’t be any “going out of business” sales because this isn’t a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and TRU is not going out of business at this time.

So what happens with all the LEGO products at Toys R Us? There shouldn’t be any change with the selection. For those here in the US who are waiting for the Bricktober 2017 sets, you should still be able to find them in a few weeks. There will still be various sales going on and TRU does price match Amazon and other retailers.

The Toys R Us bankruptcy comes just weeks after LEGO reported lower profits and layoffs themselves. It looks like that the whole toy industry isn’t doing well as a whole as more kids are gravitating to electronics and video games. We’ll see what happens after the holiday season but this is … Continue
