LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 15 (71011) Review

March 9, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The Series 15 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71011) have been available worldwide for a while now and I’ve finally had time to do my review on it. Ever since I started collecting them back in Series 6, they’ve been getting better and better each series. Let’s see if Series 15 can live up to the hype when the official images came out.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Mighty Micros: Hulk vs. Ultron (76066) Review

March 8, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Some of the sets that were released recently that I was really excited for were the new LEGO Super Heroes Mighty Micros sets. The one set that really stood out for me from the line was the Marvel Super Heroes: Hulk vs. Ultron (76066). The set contains 80 pieces and retails for $9.99. When you open up the box, the contents of the box are pretty interesting as it contains two sets of instructions, two un-numbered bags, and a product leaflet for Civil War sets. Instead of the builds being in a small booklet, the instructions are leaflets similar to the ones you find in polybags.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) Review

March 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

When the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave (76052) was officially announced back in January, there was a mixed reaction to the set with some loving it while others didn’t like some aspects of it to those that were indifferent. The set itself is based on the classic Batman TV series starring Adam West and it consists of 2,526 pieces while retailing for $269.99 which has some questioning if it is worth that price.

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468) Review

March 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A few days ago, Toys R Us released a “new” LEGO Seasonal set with the Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), otherwise known as the Chicken Suit Guy. This set retails for $5.99 and is currently available at Toys R Us stores in the US, if you can find them.

Outside of the box is a sleeve that slips off. The box is very simple looking and there’s nothing too special about it. The shape and artwork for the box resembles a small hen house with some Easter egg around it. The door opens up to reveal the Chicken Suit Guy sitting in one of those black container molds that we’ve seen in the Target Minifigure Boxes.

As for the Chicken Suit Guy, he’s pretty much the same minifigure as from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000). The only notable visual difference from the two is the head on the original one is hollow while the new one is solid. I also noticed the legs on the new one were somewhat more loose than the old one.

Overall, I’m not sure what the purpose of the Iconic Easter (5004468) set is other than being a little Seasonal set that kids can enjoy. As for collectors, this set is a good opportunity to get the Chicken Suit Guy if you missed out on him three years ago. Since the release of this set, the price for the minifigure on the secondary market has dropped dramatically but as with these fairly exclusive sets, some are buying them up in … Continue

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) Review

February 29, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

When the then Ecto-1 (21108) was announced that it would be the next LEGO Ideas set, Ghostbusters fans were both happy and sad. Good because we would be getting an iconic car, bad that we wouldn’t be getting the firehouse to go along with it.

Fast forward about a year and a half and rumors started swirling in the community that we would be getting the firehouse in 2016 and back in October, it was revealed that we would indeed be getting the Firehouse Headquarters (75827) next year and shortly after that, the official images of the set were released. The set features details from both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.
