LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) Review

June 1, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

Back in January of this year at the 2016 London Toy Fair, there were some details of the new LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) and at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, we got our first look at it. LEGO fans and car enthusiasts alike were excited for the set and just last month, it was officially announced.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050) Review

May 18, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

It’s been a few weeks since Captain America: Civil War has been released so I think it’s about time to do some reviews on the LEGO Marvel Super Heores sets based on the movie. The first set is the Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050). It consists of 179 pieces and retails for $19.99. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instructions, a sticker sheet, and a comic. Warning, there will be spoilers in these reviews so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, I would avoid reading any further.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098) Review

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector's Series Assault on Hoth (75098)

The May the 4th flagship set for this year was announced back in February with the LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098). Almost immediately, there was an overwhelmingly negative response to the set and pretty easy to see why it got such as response. Let’s take a deeper look at the set to see if all of the negative press was warranted.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) Polybag Review

May 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

If you followed one of my previous posts, you would’ve probably found the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag at Toys R Us. It contains only 25 pieces and retails for $3.99. This is also the exact same polybag that will be included in a LEGO promotion from May 27-30 for spending $35 or more.

This version of Captain America has been in a few sets including the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets as well as a couple of the Civil Wars sets but this is the cheapest way to get the minifigure.

The black motorcycle frame is fairly rare as it has only been in two other sets. The motorcycle also has a small sidecar which has a flick-fire missile attached to it with a small clip. The front of the sidecar has another clip to slide Captain America’s shield in.

For what you get with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag, it’s definitely worth looking for at Toys R Us especially if you collect the Super Heroes sets. I would totally spend $4 for it instead of spending $35.

It’s also a little strange that TRU is selling the polybag ahead of a LEGO promo in the same month because that usually doesn’t happen, especially here in the US. If you’re searching for it, the item number is #396626. If the polybags are not on the floor, they’re probably behind a counter somewhere or in the back of house.

LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) Review

April 25, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Last month, LEGO officially announced the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) and a majority of the LEGO community as well as the rest of the world went bananas. They were rumored last year on April Fools Day but may people dispelled as just that since people can’t really trust anything said on that day. The rumor ended up to be true and here we are now.

LEGO LEGOLAND Train (40166) Review

April 18, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Today I have a fairly short review on a somewhat exclusive set and that is the LEGO LEGOLAND Train (40166). It contains 210 pieces and retails for $19.99 and is only available at the various LEGOLAND theme parks around the world. The contents of the box include four numbered bags and the instructions.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia Book Review

April 11, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

A week ago, DK’s latest edition of a LEGO Character Encyclopedia was released with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia. This 208 page book details a lot of the sets and minfigures that have been released since 2006 up until the winter 2016 sets. One of the main features of the book is the exclusive minifigure that is included which I’ll get to later.

The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia starts off with the table of contents which is somewhat useful but to an extent. I felt that it’s more useful when searching for a set or minifigure by year, if you know it, since there is no index in the back of the book which I think would be a much better help when searching for a particular item.

For each set or minifigure, there are lots of information on the page like the description and spotlights various area to give even more info. Also there’s a small section what the book calls “vital stats” which includes details such as owner, used for, and gear for sets and likes, dislikes, friends, foes, skills, and gear for minifigures. Below that, it also gives details of the set names, numbers, and the year it was released. As I mentioned before, the encyclopedia is updated to the current wave of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets including the Mighty Micros.
