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.

The LEGO news has been very quiet lately but that has been blown out of the water with an unofficial reveal of the list of characters from the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012). From what’s been told, there will apparently also be a commercial coming out for the minifigures as well. Of course, we get some of the usual cast of Disney characters while some are surprises. You might notice there are some big names missing like Goofy and Pluto among others so that could set up for another wave in the future.

The LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71012) will be available in May with 18 to collect. What do you guys think of the list of characters chosen that will be in the series? Thanks to CM4Sci for the heads up.

LEGO Minifigure Iconic Easter (5004468) Now Available Online at Toys R Us

February 27, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

If you’re looking to purchase the LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter Minifigure (5004468), aka the Chicken Suit Guy, you can now purchase it online at Toys R Us. As of this writing, it is available for Ship-To-Home for $5.99 each.

The Chicken Suit Guy is the same minifigure from the Series 9 Collectible Minifigures (71000) but it also comes with a cardboard box as well. The main reason why people are looking for him is because they’re going for a pretty steep amount on the secondary market and this is a cheaper way to get him. I’m not sure how many they have in stock online but hurry if you want to get one.

Update: It’s sold out online. Your best bet to get one is to sign up for their notifications for when they return to stock or keep checking in stores.

Update 2: It’s available again online and some stores have reported to have them in stock.

LEGO Ideas Particle Accelerator Achieves 10,000 Supporters

February 26, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The Particle Accelerator project by JK Brickworks is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If creator’s name sounds familiar, that’s because his Labyrinth Marble Maze (21305) will be released in April.

The particle accelerator is based on the real life machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to contain them in defined beams. The most well known one is the Large Hadron Collider built by CERN. For the LEGO version, it basically demonstrates the concept by using LEGO balls that spin around the ring. Check out how it works in the video below.

The project now joins the Fossil Museum, the Gingerbread House, the Modular Train Station, the Old Fishing Store, and the Jedi High Council as the ones that qualify for the First 2016 Review Stage.
