LEGO Creator Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) More Detailed Images

April 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are now more detailed images of the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) from the summer 2018 wave of the LEGO Creator sets. This year is the year of the roller coasters and it’s due time that we get something like this to add to the Fairground subtheme for LEGO Creator line. The first roller coaster was introduced with The LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor (70922) and it reuses some of the tracks in a new and more restrained color.

The 923 piece Pirate Roller Coaster is a 3-in-1 set which means that the main model can be changed into two other models using the same parts. The set pays homage to classic Eldorado Fortress (6276) with the Imperial Fortress and you also get a skull to go along with it. The other suggested builds include a small back and forth track and a mini-go-round.

LEGO Star Wars R3-M2 (40268) Polybag Found

January 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

It looks like 2017 is the year of the astromech droids as far as LEGO Star Wars polybags are concerned. There has been a new R3-M2 (40268) polybag that’s the traditional minifigure version that’s been found in a Romanian monobrand store. Upon some research, R3-M2 is from Rogue One.

If you look closely, you can see that it’s on it’s own stand and has a plaque card on the back with the name tag appearing to be a sticker. There’s even a Technic pin on the side of the stand that suggests there could be more polybags like this in the future.

I have a feeling that the R3-M2 (40268) will be this year’s May the 4th polybag promotion.

LEGO Monkey King by Cid Hsiao

January 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I don’t feature LEGO MOCs that often here but since Lunar/Chinese New Year is coming up in a few weeks which I’m pretty excited about, I think it’ll be nice to feature some based around the holiday since 2016 is the Year of the Monkey. Here we have Cid Hsiao’s version of Sun Wukong, aka the Monkey King.

The amount of detail that went into the build is pretty spectacular especially in the head which sometimes is the hard to create. The build is based on the character in the famous novel, Journey to the West, and in recent times seen in video games such as League of Legends and Smite.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) Review

October 3, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday, we did our first of two LEGO Christmas Seasonal sets with the Reindeer (40092). The other Christmas set for the year is the Snowman (40093). The set has 140 pieces and retails for $9.99 for a really good $0.07/piece. The 140 pieces is the second most among the Seasonal creatures for 2014. The box has a small instructions booklet and two un-numbered bags.

The building of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) is pretty straightforward. You start building the base of the Snowman which is pretty bland. Once you get through that and you start the details, he’ll start coming together quickly. When the body is complete, you build the head which is pretty much the same as the body but a little smaller. It has a orange cone for the nose and a horn piece to represent the mouth. You can flip it either way to have him have a smile or a sad face. Some accessories that the Snowman has is the top hat and a broom.

Results

The LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) makes a great final set to finish out the year of these buildable creatures. Like with the Reindeer set, LEGO has gone with a generic snowman due to legality issues but it does have some references to the popular children’s character, Frosty the Snowman such as the broom, hat, and orange nose.

Again, it is now available at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home for $9.99. Like with the Reindeer set, the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Snowman (40093) makes … Continue
