I’ve been following Minh Pham’s, aka Tuminio, Flickr stream ever since he released a picture of his custom Hulkbuster Iron Man minifigure last week. Today, he has posted a couple more images of some new minifigures he has created. One of the new minifigures is a very nice looking Iron Patriot and the other is a Deep Space Suit which might be showing up in the Iron Man 3 movie. Overall, Tuminio has created 5 custom Iron Man minifigs and they all pretty awesome.

New LEGO Store Coming to Surrey British Columbia

March 21, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I don’t usually write about new LEGO Store openings but I came across this post on Reddit where a user by the name of flawedless reports the company he works for is doing an expansion project and there will be a new LEGO store opening in the Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, British Columbia. Above is an image of what an unconstructed LEGO store looks like. The user also states that they’re hoping to open in August. So citizens in or near Surrey BC, you’ll soon be having a new LEGO Store to spend your money at. Who’s excited about this new store opening?

Brickset is reporting that the LEGO Series 10 Collectible Minifigures (71001) have started showing up in Hungary.

Remember there are only 5000 of the Mr. Gold minifigures being produced by LEGO so unless you’re buying it off the secondary market, better start searching as soon as you can.

World of Chima LEGOLAND Florida Expansion

March 19, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

If you’re going to LEGOLAND Florida in the near future, you’ll probably see some construction starting there. The reason? LEGOLAND Florida will be adding a new area to the park called the World of Chima and will be opening this July. This new area will be the first major expansion at the park and will be based on the new Legends of Chima theme. It will feature some new interactive sections including a water ride called the Quest For Chi and a Speedorz Arena where players build and compete with the Speedorz sets. The park will also be showing the LEGO Chima 4D Movie Xperience which have also recently opened at LEGOLAND California earlier this month.

In the Quest For Chi ride, guests will be riding a watercraft and use water cannons to help Laval defeat Cragger and recover the stolen CHI orbs. Employees dressed as Laval and Cragger will also be doing meet-and-greets in there.

The World of Chima expansion will add around 150 construction jobs and about 50 jobs will be added to the LEGOLAND Florida staff.
