LEGO Minifigure Evolution Throughout the Years

September 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing on with my coverage of the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure, we now turn our attention to the evolution of the minifigure. LEGO has sent over a number of images of various minifigures which show them as a prototype from the mid-to-late 1970s as well as the final products that were released in 1978. Some of these minifigures include the doctors, firefighters, spacemen, and police. We even get to see the old minifigures compared to some of the more recently released ones.

LEGO Celebrates 10 Years of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO released a new image which is their version of the 10 year celebration poster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it may give some hints on possible new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes minifigures. Some of the more notable things include a barely visible Wasp, War Machine, Bucky Barnes as well as Wong with updated printing.

This is interesting because they could show up in a summer release set for Infinity War similar to the Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) for Captain America: Civil War. This is purely speculation as I haven’t heard of any concrete information about it. There was a rumor late last year of the largest Infinity War set with set 76106 which could possibly include those characters.

Again, this poster could purely just be a promo image but we know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers so who knows. Sound off below of what you think this could mean.

March 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets have started to show up early at Walmart and on the back of the instructions of the sets is a teaser for the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game. This confirms the rumor of the game coming out later this year. As you can see from the image, it will be available on PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The LEGO The Incredibles Video Game will mark the first time a Pixar property will become a LEGO game and will be developed by TT Games and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. There’s no other details given but stay tuned for more details in the near future.

March 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last month, I ran a contest for a chance to win the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) set. There were over 7,000 entries and I’ve randomly chosen the winner and that person is:

Jesus P.

I’ve contacted the winner to get their shipping details. Sorry about the late post about this but I didn’t forget about you guys. With all the issues of Toys R Us and the closing announcements, I’ve been busy dealing with that for the past few weeks and trying to figure out my next steps. I will also be announcing the winner(s) of The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Competition in the next day or so stay tuned for that. I think there were some very creative builds for that contest.

LEGO Wins Three Awards at 2018 Toy of the Year Awards Gala

February 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The 2018 Toy of the Year winners were announced yesterday just ahead of the New York Toy Fair and I’m happy to say that LEGO wins big again this year. LEGO was nominated in five categories this year including:

Collectible of the Year – The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017)

Construction Toy of the Year – LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) / LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean The Silent Mary (71042)

Creative Toy of the Year – LEGO Make Your Own Movie

Specialty Toy of The Year – LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

Tech Toy of the Year – LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox (17101)

LEGO picked up three awards last night for LEGO Star Wars BB-8 as the Construction Toy of the Year, LEGO Boost for Tech Toy of the Year, and the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon for the Specialty Toy of the Year. This is the second year in a row that LEGO has won for Construction and Specialty Toy of the Year.

With some of the new LEGO products coming out this year, I’m sure we’ll be seeing LEGO again on the ballot in a few categories and they have a great chance for the coveted Toy of the Year award.

As I reported a few days ago, the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) has been sold out on LEGO Shop@Home after only a couple of days the promotion went live. The only ways you can get it now is at LEGO Brand Stores who still have them, have some friends who can get one for you, or on the secondary market, and they aren’t cheap. I am also giving you a chance to win a set. I currently have two sets in my possession and I’m willing to give away one set to one of you guys. The only thing that you have to do is to enter using the Rafflecopter widget below that’s it. The contest will run until the end of February and there are various ways you can get entries.

LEGO did not supply the sets. I made purchases on both Shop@Home and in store to get them using my own money while getting some sets that I wanted.

60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) Sold Out on Shop@Home

February 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

If you’ve been holding out on getting the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290), your luck has probably ran out. After about four days, the set is now sold out on Shop@Home at least here in the US. The promotion has now been replaced with last month’s LEGO City Dragster with a purchase of $35 or more. As predicted before the promo started, I figured this set would be very popular with the fans as it has a nostalgic vibe to it.

There may still be some LEGO Brand Stores that may still have them available so your best chance is to call them up directly and see if they do indeed have them. Other than that, your best bet to get it is on the secondary market which isn’t cheap by any means or if you have some very good friends.
