LEGO Batman Construction Figure and the Bat-Pod Bike (76273) Review

August 15, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO hasn’t released a larger scale Bat-Pod set in a long time but this summer, there is a new one in the Batman Construction Figure and the Bat-Pod Bike (76273). The original one was back in 2015 when there was a competition for LEGO VIP members and subsequently was in the Rewards Center for 15,000 points and a sweepstakes after that. This new 713 piece set is much easier to get for $64.99.

August 6, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Italian Riviera by LEGOParadise is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project has been on LEGO Ideas for over a year and it’s sort of a Bad Luck Brian situation here as LEGO has just announced that a similar project has passed the review stage and will be made into a set so this one will most certainly be rejected.

The project joins Claw Machine Wallace & Gromit – A Grand Day Out, Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus Multi Player, Impression Sunrise – Monet, The Loneliness of the Voyager – NASA’s Voyager Mission, Humpback Whale Breach, Tintin – Space Rocket, The Iron Giant in the Forest, Tetris Solid, Working Image Projector “Magic Lantern”, Popcorn Machine, Arsenal F.C. – The Invincibles, Sony Walkman, Sony Walkman, Hydroelectric Power Plant, Floating Sea Otter, Avatar: The Last Airbender!, Blacksmith – Wild West, Bluey!!, New Holland CR Combine, Wednesday The Room and The Balcony, Lisbon Tram (Electrico 28), Market Village, Modular Post Office in Neoclassical Style, and Working River Rapids Ride – Fairground Rafting Coaster as the ones to reach the Second 2024 Review Stage.

August 1, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s a sad day in the LEGO world as longtime AFOL Community Integration Manager Jan Beyer has announced that he left the company. Some of you may have met Jan at various LEGO conventions throughout the years and he was an integral part in helping grow the AFOL community whether it be working with LUGs or just answering questions from fans.

Jan will now be working with LEGO Certified Professional Caspar Bennedsen from Brick Works as a Development Manager. Although I haven’t personally met Jan, I wish him the best in his new position. He’ll still be around at LEGO conventions so you’ll still see him as a regular fan.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2024 Recap

July 29, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

San Diego Comic Con 2024 is now over and I finally have some time to recap the LEGO happenings during the event. As we saw in the preview post, the LEGO Booth this year was space themed with them showcasing many of the newer LEGO space sets for various themes.

They also showcased some upcoming sets such as the LEGO The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree (77092) the newly announced LEGO Super Mario World Mario & Yoshi (71438) and LEGO Dungeons & Dragons Collectible Minifigures (71047).

In terms of exclusives, fans took part in a building a spaceship to put on the wall. In return they could get a fabric sticker patch featuring the white classic space minifigure.

In addition, there was also the LEGO Space Explorer’s Challenge where you have to take part in various missions during SDCC for a chance to win a prize pack consisting of some LEGO Marvel comics, some posters given out there, the gold LEGO Masters Keychain, the LEGO Fortnite Cuddle Team Leader minifigure, as well as the white LEGO Masters minifigure which you could say was the main LEGO chase this year. The prize pack was given out to 20 people each day so there was 80 total packs. I’ve been told there were only 135 of these minifigures made, 80 to the prize packs and 55 for the LEGO Masters signings.

During the LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising Continues panel, we got a sneak peek at what will be happening during Season 2, Part 2 of the … Continue
