October 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

The next set in the LEGO Architecture series has been revealed on their online survey site, the Marina Bay Sands (21021). Back in August, we reported that the resort in Singapore won the annual LEGO “Vote & Inspire Us” poll and would be the next Architecture set that will be released. The world’s most expensive standalone casino property also features a hotel, a shopping mall, a museum, two theaters, an ice skating rink, and seven celebrity chef restaurants. The Marina Bay Sands will probably be available late this year or early next year.

Now you can recreate this amazing tribute to modernism in no less than 597 LEGO bricks, from the smooth façade to the building at its base. Designed mainly by Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, the cornerstone was laid in 1949 and it was completed just three years later. This soaring architectural triumph is part of the LEGO Landmark series that pays tribute to some of the world’s greatest buildings and makes a fine addition to your desk, office or playroom.

More 2014 LEGO Sets Revealed

August 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today has been a fairly decent day as far as various sources revealing more 2014 LEGO sets. First off is a user by the name of TAFOL on Eurobricks of another LEGO Creator set that was found on back of the instructions book for the Race Car (31017). As you can see from the image above, it is a yellow Quad Bike (31022). The set is a 3-in-1 set so you can also build a Race Car and a Monster Truck. Also, another word for the Race Car (31017) and the Monkey and Toucan (31019) sets. On the same Eurobricks thread, ljames28 has posted the instructions for those sets and notes that the instructions were only from partial booklets so that may suggest that those sets are also 3-in-1 sets.

Over on Brick Owl, they are reporting that there will a new set based on a MINI Cooper that will be released sometime this year. BMW owns the MINI Cooper line and the company already has a licensing agreement with The LEGO Group. There’s no word if it will be a regular sized set or a polybag like the BMW (40200). Nothing official has been announced yet but there’s still a couple more LEGO conventions left in the year as well as New York Comic Con if LEGO decides to reveal them there.

Another thing that was revealed by Brick Owl was a couple more LEGO Architecture sets that will be available later this year and early next year. One is the Marina Bay … Continue

Barnes & Noble LEGO Architecture Studio Event

July 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Yesterday, I attended one of the many LEGO Architecture events held in Barnes & Noble stores throughout the United States. The event was to talk about aspects of the design process in architecture as well as to promote the new LEGO Architecture Studio (21050) set.

At the event, there were a couple of guest speakers that were invited to speak to the attendees: MiraCosta College Drafting & Architecture professor, David Parker, and former Master Model Designer and fellow SandLUG member, Mariann Asanuma. She also runs the popular site, Model Building Secrets so if you want to learn some juicy secrets from a LEGO Master Model Builder, I suggest heading over there and checking the site out. Kevin, Ambassador of SandLUG, was also available to show off a few his amazing modular buildings.
