LEGO Seasonal Trick or Treat (40122) Review

August 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

A few days ago, we got our first look at the new LEGO Seasonal Trick or Treat (40122) set. The set is officially available on September 1st but some LEGO Stores have started receiving their shipments of it. I’ve managed to purchase a set and here’s my review of it.

The Trick or Treat set contains 133 pieces and retails for $9.99 like previous Seasonal sets. The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags, a small instruction booklet, and two loose dark green 4×8 plates.

Amazon Shipping LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom! Movie

LEGO DC Super Heroes Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom! Trickster

I’ve gotten confirmation today that Amazon has started shipping out the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom! movie to people who had a pre-order for it. It also includes the exclusive Trickster minifigure for you to add to your collection of DC characters. The movie will officially be released tomorrow but if you order today, it’s possible that you might get it tomorrow or at least in two days with Prime shipping.

I’ve actually had the chance to watch the whole movie during a screening at San Diego Comic Con and I must say that it’s a better movie than I expected. Of course, you have the humor and cheesiness that every LEGO movie has but the story is pretty good as well.

Crime is on the run as the newly formed Justice League keeps Metropolis safe and this makes evil genius Lex Luthor very unhappy. Together with Black Manta, Sinestro and a gang of ruthless recruits, Lex builds his own league and declares them the Legion of Doom. With this super powered team of terror and a plan to attack the top-secret government site, Area 52, can Lex finally be on the verge of victory? Sound the alarm and get ready for the bricks to fly when Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League face off against the world’s greatest Super-Villains! It’s the next all-new original movie from LEGO® and DC Comics.

The new LEGO Star Wars prequel collectible posters have rolled out.

After the reveal of the LEGO Seasonal Halloween Trick or Treat (40122) set yesterday, there’s now an image of the next seasonal set, the Thanksgiving Feast (40123). This image comes from the back of the instruction booklet from the Trick or Treat set and it shows a vignette of a Thanksgiving dinner with an older couple. This set will be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home in October for $9.99.

LEGO Ideas Indominus Rex Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Indominus Rex project by senteosan is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the antagonist in the new Jurassic World movie as a fairly large display piece which contains around 700 bricks.

Although the dinosaur is a great model and a set I would like to have, I have some reservations of this project becoming an official set because of the LEGO Jurassic World license. If it was a generic dinosaur, it might have had a better chance to pass but since the description describes it as the one from the movie, I doubt that it will make it through but we’ll see in a few months.

The Indominus Rex now joins Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, Lothlorien, LEGO Physics, Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Hobbit-Rivendell as the the projects that are eligible to be reviewed for a chance to be an official LEGO set.

LEGO Seasonal Halloween Trick or Treat (40122) Set Image Found

August 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

(1)Stein over on Eurobricks has revealed the new LEGO Seasonal Halloween Trick or Treat (40122) set. The set features a small vignette with a small black tree and a trick or treater. From first impressions, it doesn’t look as the Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) or the Painting Easter Eggs (40121) sets but I’ll still try to pick it up nonetheless. It’ll be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home in September for $9.99. They might even show up at LEGO Stores earlier so if you want one of these sets, you have to act fast because these little exclusive sets tend to sell out pretty quickly.

LEGO Ideas Hobbit-Rivendell Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

The Hobbit-Rivendell project by fishingtwister is the latest one to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. This project is a very elaborate MOC of the Elven city of Rivendell from The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings books/movies. It includes about 10 different buildings that you can display to your liking to recreate the scene. Note that the mountain in the background is not included in the project.

It’ll be going up against another LOTR project with Lothlorien along with Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, LEGO Physics, and Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the review stage.
