The LEGO Story Outtake

April 20, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you remember from last year, LEGO released a video called “The LEGO Story” on the company’s 80th birthday. Yesterday, LEGO released an outtake of The LEGO Story called “Stepping on a Brick.” It’s a nice 1 minute video that shows exactly what the title says, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen stepping on a LEGO brick.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 10 Mr. Gold Minifigure Found

April 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A German seller has found 2 of the 5000 Mr. Gold minifigures that are in Series 10 LEGO Collectible Minifigures and they are now on eBay for €999 or about $1,307.09. The two minifigures are numbered 865/5000 and 870/5000.

The high prices of the Mr. Gold minifigures aren’t surprising since these are probably the first ones to show up on eBay but I know I won’t be paying insanely amounts of money just to get it. Probably a majority of collectors out there might miss out on him and might end up paying quite a penny just to get one. Hopefully more show up online and prices drop significantly to be tempting enough to pick one up.
