LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) Review

June 25, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Earlier this month, LEGO had a promotion for the Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) with purchases of $35 or more. Here’s a little short review of the set with something special at the end.

Packaging

The box that the Minifigure Travel Pack comes in has the design of a suitcase with printing of stickers throughout. Inside the box, there’s more printing of various LEGO elements that people may take on a trip.

The items inside the box include the instructions in the form of a passport, a bag of parts, and some signs.

Minifigure

There’s one minifigure included with this set and he’s nothing too special. The torso features the spaceman printing and green arms. It has been used before in previous sets but it’s still cool to get that particular one. The legs are medium blue and the cap that he wears is lime green.

Builds

There are lots of little builds that are in the set such as a beach chair with an umbrella, a mini sandcastle, a barbeque, and a camera on a tripod. There’s also a surfboard, a whip used as a fishing rod, some scuba gear, suitcase, and ice cream cone.

The idea of the set is to use these builds along with the minifigure and take picutres of them in various locations. In the back of the instructions, there are some images of the set at different locales.

Results

The LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) isn’t your typical promotional set as June is sort of a travel month for LEGO promos. … Continue

LEGO Canvas Tote Bag Review

June 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will be starting a new promotion until the end of the month for an exclusive Canvas Tote Bag. You can get it for free with purchases of $199 or more in LEGO Stores.

For the Canvas Tote Bag itself, it’s your typical full-sized, creme/white colored bag with the LEGO logo branding on one side. The material used for the logo seems to be a decent quality and should be able to withstand multiple uses.

For the compartments, you have the main one which is quite large for normal items like books or a laptop. I was able to fit TLBM Batwing box into it but that is about as much as you can fit into it if you are using it to buy more LEGO. There is also a smaller pocket where the LEGO logo is.

Overall, the new LEGO Canvas Tote Bag is the largest promotional giveaways I’ve seen since coming back to LEGO. The main deterrent is not the bag itself but the high qualifying purchase you have to make to get it. The last tote bag that LEGO released was back in 2011 so it’s nice to see another gear item. Again, it will only be available at LEGO Stores starting on June 15-30 while supplies last. Thank you to the LEGO Affiliate Team for sending this item in.

Update: It looks like LEGO is offering the Canvas Tote Bag on Shop@Home when you make a purchase of $199 or more. To redeem the offer, enter the code JUNE at … Continue
