LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 8

December 8, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Onwards to Day 8 of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) and today we have something that fits the winter theme pretty well. This miniature igloo is an okay build utilizing a lot of shite cheese slopes to get the angles. The use of the 2×2 round jumper plate is also a good choice. The only strange thing is that the igloo is on blue plates so it may seem that it is floating on water.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 7

December 7, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

It seems like the first week of December flew by just like that and let’s see what we get for the end of the first week for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253). As you can see, we have an awkward looking penguin. THe design of it is okay for the most part but the colors are way out there with the tan body and blue arms. The most scary part of it are the studs with holes used for the eyes. This is, to say the least, absolutely creepy. There are some 1×1 round eye tile pieces in the set so I’m not sure why LEGO didn’t decide to use them. I’ve taken the liberty to do so and it looks a little better.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 6

December 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Throughout the days of the 2017 Christmas Build Up (40253), the builds pretty much have something that revolved around the theme of Christmas but for today’s build, it seems that we’ve jumped into springtime. That’s because the build for today is a ladybug but after doing some research it might be based on the Christmas special for the French animated series, Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Or maybe I’m just trying too hard to find a Christmas connection…

Anyways, the ladybug looks cute especially with the use of the 1×1 round eyelash tiles. There are no legs used but I think it looks fine just the way it is, don’t you think?

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 5

December 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Trucking along my review of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), today we have something that do don’t see as much of but they have documented for Christmas. Here we have an interesting looking windmill. If you look closely, it resembles some decorative sculptures with the windmill standing prominently in the middle. In the front where the tan cheese slope is at, I believe that’s a house of some sort and some trees in the front and back of the model. Honestly, today’s build is a little random but it doesn’t look too bad if you know what it sort of resembles.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 4

December 4, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re already a sixth of the way into December and today’s build for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) is something that folks who have snow would be more familiar with. The build for today is a small 10-piece red sled that is big enough to fit a minifigure. Most of it looks nice but I’m not sure what the black modified plate on the back is for. Don’t judge me, I live in southern California where there is literally no snow unless I drive a few hours to the mountains.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 3

December 3, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing with Day 3 of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), we finally get something that’s more synonymous with Christmas. Today we get a build for a reindeer and it looks very good given the parts that we have in this set. The 1×4 arch pieces are used for the body while some hinges along with clips and tooth pieces for the antlers. The nose is black but I took the liberty to change out the black stud to a red one to represent our favorite reindeer.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Dog (40235) Set Revealed

December 2, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

As a yearly tradition in Asian countries, LEGO releases a set to celebrate the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year. On February 16, the calendar rolls over to the new year and it’ll be the Year of the Dog in which there will be a set (40235) based on it.

As someone who was born on the Year of the Dog on the Chinese zodiac, I’ll definitely be wanting to pick up this set. If anyone wants to help me out in getting this set, let me know.
