Late last month, LEGO officially revealed the LEGO Creator Ferrari F40 (10248) to fans and there was an overwhelming positive response to it. The set contains 1158 pieces and retails for $89.99. The contents of the box includes 8 bags numbered 1 & 2 and a packaged instructions booklet along with a small sticker sheet.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Exclusive All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) Review

July 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 All New Captain America (Sam Wilson)

In my second review of the San Diego Comic Con 2015 LEGO exclusives, I have in hand the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) minifigure. This version of Captain America is based on the new Marvel Secret Wars event where Sam Wilson, formerly the Falcon, has taken the reigns of Captain America.

Like with the other SDCC LEGO exclusive minifigures, Captain America is packaged in the small clamshell with a piece of cardboard to show the background. The background itself has the Secret Wars logo with some meteors falling with the red, white, and blue. The bottom left corner does show “San Diego Comic Con International 2015 Exclusive” so this minifigure might not show up in future sets.

The Sam Wilson Captain America minifigure has some great printing throughout and there are many small details that make the minifigure a definite pick up. The torso is mostly blue with the white star and wings. The lower area of the torso has some red to round out the colors of the flag. The belt buckle is one of the details that stand out for me. The legs are blue and red with the red part being the boots that are half printed on the front, side, and back. The head is mostly white representing the mask Sam wears with some red goggles. One nice thing to note is that he has a double-sided head with a smiling expression on one side and a stern look on the other. The hair is the slick … Continue

LEGO Jurassic World Raptor Rampage (75917) Review

June 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I’ve finally had some time to watch Jurassic World in theaters and for my second review of the LEGO Jurassic World sets, first of the boxed sets, I have the Raptor Rampage (75917). The set consists of 324 pieces and retails for $49.99. One of the main complaints I’ve heard about the LEGO Jurassic World sets is because of the prices but keep in mind there are some large molds included in the set on top of it being a licensed theme. The box contains three numbered bags, two individually bagged raptors, two instruction booklets, and a sticker sheet.

Warning: There will be spoilers in the LEGO Jurassic World reviews so if you haven’t watched Jurassic World yet, I suggest skipping these posts. I feel it’s been ample time between the release of the movie and the time the reviews go up and I assume a majority of the readers have already seen the movie.

LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag June 2015 Review

June 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been a slow day today but today in the mail, I received the June 2015 Brick Builders Club subscription box. If you’re a new reader and haven’t heard of this, it’s a box curated by the Brick Fest Live crew which contains t-shirts, parts packs, sometimes LEGO sets, and more. For the month of June, I believe it has to do something with summer or the beach.

Brick Loot June 2015 Subscription Box Review

June 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Recently, I received a surprise Brick Loot June 2015 subscription box at my doorstep. I first did a review when they first launched at the end of last year. I had some mixed feelings about it since it was advertised as “a monthly box subscription company geared towards LEGO and BRICK Lovers” but I didn’t expect that it would include some clone brands.

Let’s just jump into the box and see what we get. This month’s brick Loot box is called Brickasaurus Park to celebrate the release of Jurassic World in theaters. Since this is a non-paid review, I’m going to give my full honest opinion on it from a typical LEGO fan’s perspective.

The first thing I noticed was the custom Nerdasaurus Rex build by our good friend Tommy Williamson of BrickNerd. As you can see, it’s a pretty cute and nerdy T-Rex. In my eyes, this was one of the few things that interested me as LEGO purists wouldn’t like to see what else is included in the box besides one other item.

The next thing is a Nanoblock set NBA_010 featuring a Stegosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Currently this set retails for $26.99 on Amazon. Nanoblock is a clone brand that has a similar design of LEGO bricks in a smaller scale.

Next up are some items that I honestly do not want to mix in with my LEGO bricks. These are some buildable animals that are clearly Chinese knock-offs by a company going by Wange Toys or Wange Industrial Co. … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Winter Soldier (5002943) Minifigure Polybag Review

June 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

For the month of June with purchases of $75 or more, you can get a FREE promotional exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Winter Soldier (5002943) minifigure polybag at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. We finally get our chance to get this minifigure as some parts of the world already got their promos like in the UK a few months ago with a purchase of the SHIELD Helicarrier (76042).
