LEGO Announcing New Theme at New York Comic Con 2014

August 29, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

BZPower has reported at New York Comic Con 2014, LEGO will be having a panel and they’ve asked people to “take part in a very special event where a brand new LEGO Theme will be announced.” A brand new LEGO theme? There are a few possible ideas what they could be with all the recent LEGO 2015 news. The first possibility is the new LEGO Jurassic World sets that will be based on the upcoming movie starring Chris Pratt. According to reports, there would be five sets in the wave.

The next possible theme that LEGO could be revealing at NYCC is the “Elves” theme which was reported to be a fantasy-typed theme that would include mini-dolls.

The third LEGO theme that could be revealed is LEGO Top Gear. Last year the people at Top Gear asked people to do a survey to guage the audience if they wanted to see vehicles from the popular TV show in LEGO form. It was recently revealed that a list of Supercars would be coming out next year and it may indeed be the Top Gear theme.

Finally, we have a return of an old theme but could be new to people that have just gotten into LEGO and that is BIONICLE. The theme hasn’t been around since 2010 but it was very popular among kids and AFOLs when it was.

So there you have it. LEGO will be announcing a new theme at New York Comic Con 2014 and those were some of the possibilities. What … Continue

August 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Coming off our run of recent 2015 LEGO news, it’s time to get hit up on some news within the LEGO community. Brandon Griffith has announced that Series 1 of the STUDS Builder Trading Cards will be available on September 10th.

If you remember, Brandon did a KickStarter a few years ago and the project got enough funding to create the cards. The cards themselves are your typical glossy cards which features a series of profiles of people in the LEGO community who create some very cool art. If you’re a fan of LEGO, you’ve probably heard of the names of these people including Bruce Lowell, Iain Heath, and Nathan Sawaya, just to name a few.

It looks like a there will be a number of products that will be available on BrickStuds.com including the folowing:

STUDS Packs: Each STUDS Pack includes 8 trading cards and 1 Brickforge element. Look for rare chase cards including: Artist Autograph Cards, Custom Fig Cards, and Sketch Cards!
STUDS Box: Each STUDS Box includes 28 Packs
STUDS Factory Set: The STUDS Factory set includes the 96 card base set plus 9 poster card set
STUDS Series 1 Binder

Series 1 of the STUDS trading cards will be very limited so once they sell out, that’s it. If you haven’t seen the cards before, check out my early review of some of the cards that I got from Brandon while at SDCC a few years back.

Keep up with all the BrickStuds updates by following their Facebook Page and on Twitter… Continue
