LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) Toys R Us Promo Starts November 1

October 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Toys R Us holiday book is showing up in mailboxes now and in the LEGO section of the book, it shows the promotion for the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) here in the US. The minifigure polybag is free starting on November 1 with LEGO Star Wars purchases of $40 or more.

As we know by now, they are already available for $3.99 each at various locations. Some stores, like mine, are sticking to the street date rather than selling them early even though they have them in stock. Once the promo ends, they can pretty much be purchased for $3.99 if there are any left over by then. If you’re actively looking for them, the TRU item number is 169326.

Philly Brick Fest 2016 Registration Now Open

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

Registration for Philly Brick Fest 2016 is now live and you sign up to be a full participant. This means you can attend all four days and participate in activities not available to the public. The event will be held on April 28-May 1 and there some new things planned for next year. Beforehand, I’ve sent over a couple of questions about the event. Also check out the official press release below.

TBF: What is the goal for PBF 2016?

CC: This is our 3rd year running for Philly Brick Fest, and while we are still relatively young, there are already a handful of newer conventions that have popped up behind us like BrickSlopes and BricksLA. With Brick Fest Live running all year long, we have been able to meet and interact with LEGO User Groups (LUGs) and Fans of LEGO (FOLs) all over the country. Inevitably, we start talking about LEGO conventions and always extend the invite for them to join us in Philly. Since PBF hit the scene in 2014, which was also the height of LEGO-mania with the launch of the LEGO movie, LUGs and FOLs alike have more choices than ever before to choose the events they want to attend and participate in. We want the world to know that THIS event, Philly Brick Fest, is a “Destination Convention”. Our FOL schedule is packed with activities and surprises, and most of all we know fans gravitate to this event for each other.

October 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Earlier today, the official list for the Series 15 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71011) were revealed and now there’s a sneak peek of a few of the characters in the wave. The image comes from what appears to be the back cover of the latest LEGO Club Magazine. Here you can see the Costume Shark Guy, Awkward/Clumsy Man, and the Queen.

I don’t know about you but the Costume Shark Guy looks really similar to the Left/Right Shark in Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show from earlier this year.

Again if you didn’t see the list this morning, they are as follows:

Queen
Head of Animal Control
Jewel Thief
Tribal Woman
Dancer
Flying Warrior/Road Warrior
Wildlife/Satyr
Scary Knight
Wrestling Champion
Costume Shark Guy
Awkward/Clumsy Man
Kendo Fighter/Wrestler
Astronaut
Laser Robot
Concierge
Farmer

LEGO Inside Tour 2016 Details Announced

October 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

LEGO has announced next year’s dates for the LEGO Inside Tour 2016. Registration will open on November 9 on the link mentioned at 10:00am CET until November 13 at 10:00am CET. The tour dates for 2016 will be:

May 11-13
May 25-27
June 8-10
June 22-24

Now to the logistics for it. the price per person is 14,500 DKK or around $2,100, not including any travel costs. The price includes 2 overnight stays with breakfast and catering as well as entry to LEGOLAND.

As with previous tours, there are limited number of attendees so if you want to participate, I suggest planning for the registration because they usually sell out pretty fast.

If you’re still skeptical about the LEGO Inside Tour, everyone that I’ve met who has attended before says that it’s totally worth it. You get to meet LEGO designers and employees, take a factory tour, and get some nice swag to go along with it.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) Showing Up at Toys R Us

October 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

If you have a Toys R Us nearby, you may want to check it because the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) minifigure polybag is now on the sales floor. Apparently, they’re selling for $3.99 each but I’ve heard that it was part of a promotion either in November or December. Like with other minifigure polybags, you might need a manager to override the hold as they’re supposed to be part of a future promotion. The item number 169326. Good luck on your search.
