LEGO Star Wars AT-AT (75054) Sale on Amazon

October 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Amazon has a pretty good deal for the fairly new LEGO Star Wars AT-AT (75054) for $89.91 which is more than $20 (18%) off the retail price of $109.99. The set is also eligible for free shipping with Amazon Prime. Christmas is coming real soon so this is a great set to get early at a very nice price as you probably won’t it this low again for a while when the deal expires.

Update: Sorry folks, it’s back up to $99.97 which is still 9% off.

LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag October 2014 Review

October 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

My unofficial LEGO “Loot Crate” for October called Brick Builders Club came in the mail today and I was curious to see the contents of it. If you haven’t seen the September box yet, you can check it out here. Like previous month, the Brick Builders Club is filled with LEGO-themed items but not necessarily contain actual bricks. You’ll see what I mean when I review each of the items included, in random order.

The first item in the box is a rolled up large sticker of LEGO Ninjago’s Jay. Unlike the previous month, the sticker is packaged up in a plastic film with a styrofoam roll to keep its shape. You can either apply the sticker to a folder or your wall if you desire.

For this month’s box, you get two Brick Builders Club Parts Pack that is filled with random items from Brick Warriors. The first pack contains new items that are in Brick Warriors’ store including a Viking Helmet, Viking Armor, a Wizard Hat, a Quaterstaff, and a Vine Whip. The last item is a Battle Horn. This Parts Pack retails for $7.25 if you purchase separately from Brick Warriors.

The other Parts Pack is sort of a Halloween-themed pack fill with items that you could find during Halloween such as a spider web, a couple of claws, a bat, a spider, and two 1×2 bricks with a TECHNIC axle hole.

The next thing is the exclusive t-shirt that you get every single month. It is orange and it features … Continue

LEGO Retro Storage Brick and T-Shirt Now Available at Target

October 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Target LEGO Storage Orange Transparent Round Brick 1 with Retro LEGO T-Shirt

Now available at at Target stores and online are some new, exclusive limited time only toys. One of these items is a LEGO Retro Storage Brick and T-Shirt. The orange storage brick is in the shape of a round 1×1 brick that allows you to store your loose LEGO bricks.

The shirt is yellow but unfortunately, it only comes in kids medium size. It shows a couple of LEGO logos throughout the years including the one from 1953 prominently displayed across the chest.

In stores, the LEGO Retro Storage Brick and T-Shirt retails for $19 but online, it’s going for only $15.99 which is a bit strange to why they have different prices. Again, this combo is only available for a very short time, most likely through the holiday season. We will be receiving one for review shortly and will be doing a review on it so stay tuned for that.

LEGO DC Comics: LEGO Batman Be-Leaguered Recap

October 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Today was the premiere of the new special on Cartoon Network of LEGO DC Comics: LEGO Batman Be-Leaguered. The show incorporates a lot of existing LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that have already been released as well minifigures that will be released next year. There are major spoilers ahead so if you haven’t watched the episode yet, you can watch it on Cartoon Network for free.

The show starts off with Batman fending off Man-Bat, the Penguin, and the Joker in a museum to protect the World’s Largest Gem. Superman is also unexpectedly showed up but not to assist Batman but to recruit him to the Justice League in which Batman refers to him as the “Alien.”

With the annoyance of Superman, Batman manages to defeat all three of his foes (with the help of Superman’s heat vision on the Penguin) but at a price. Superman somehow disappears into thin air and the World’s Largest Gem also disappears in front of Batman’s eyes.

Back at the Batcave, Batman is trying to figure out what made Superman disappear. Reluctantly, he calls the Flash for help. Alfred, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin also show up in this scene but that’s the last time we see them in the show. At the end of this scene, Superman is woken up by a mysterious character who has imprisoned him.

In the next scene, Batman and the Flash travel to Egypt where they find ice on the pyramids and deduce that Captain Cold is in the area. There Cold is freezing … Continue
