May 28, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Amazon is currently price-matching Walmart on the LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex’s AT-TE (75157). The set is going for only $77 which is the lowest it’s ever been and is $42.99 (36%) off the normal price of $119.99. The set includes minifigures of a Stormtrooper, Imperial Inquisitor Fifth Brother, Commander Gregor, Captain Rex, and Commander Wolffe. All of the minifigures, besides the Stormtrooper, are exclusive to this set. You also get the modified AT-TE as was seen in the Star Wars Rebels animated show.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Encounter on Jakku (75148) Amazon Sale

May 27, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

One of the more interesting LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets from last year was the Encounter on Jakku (75148). Unfortunately, it the normal price of $59.99 was a bit too high for what you get however Amazon currently has it on sale for $35.76 which is 40% off and is a fair price for it. The set consists of a brick-built Luggabeast and exclusive Teedo and Unkar Plutt minifigures which are the main highlights.

LEGO Star Wars Scarif Stormtrooper (40176) Polybag Found

May 24, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 15 Comments

It looks like there’s a new LEGO Star Wars polybag that has surfaced that goes with the same style as the R3-M2 (40268) from a few months ago which is the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). Like before, the minifigure goes on a little stand with a background. There’s no word on when it will be available. The R3-M2 was available at LEGOLAND California and only recently in the UK and as far as I know, it hasn’t been available through regular channels like Shop@Home or Toys R Us at this time.

LEGO Releases Image of Star Wars Old Luke Skywalker Minifigure

May 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

It looks like the Russian portal for LEGO.com has given our first look at Old Luke Skywalker from the end of Star Wars: The Force Awakens heading into Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The image pays tribute to the 40th anniversary of Star Wars and the outfit shown in the image above is similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s from various sets that has been released already with some slight color changes.

There’s no way to know that this version of him will be in an upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Last Jedi set coming this Force Friday until sets start to be revealed days leading up to the event.

Thanks to everyone who messaged in about this earlier today.
