New Star Wars Trilogy Announced

November 9, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

StarWars.com has just announced that Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson, will be creating a brand new Star Wars trilogy that will be coming in the future. This trilogy will be separate from the Skywalker saga and will introduce new characters that have never been on screen before. There’s no word on what the movies will consist of or when then will be in theaters.

Since it was stated that it will be separate from the original and current trilogies, my wish is for it to be based on the Old Republic story which takes place about 3,600 years before A New Hope. Some of the major characters that are part of this storyline include Revan, Darth Malgus, Satele Shan, Jace Malcom, and so on. This could continue into the Jedi Civil War storyline where Darth Revan takes on Malak as his apprentice. Of course all of this is part of Star Wars Legends banner which isn’t canon anymore so I’m not sure if Lucasfilms will go that route.

Because LEGO has a licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, there’s no doubt that there will be some sets that will be released alongside this new trilogy. What would you like to see for these new movies? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Storage Guide Online Book by Tom Alphin

November 8, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve been a somewhat longtime collector of LEGO, you’ve probably accumulated a number of sets. Displaying them in their entirety might be out of the question due to limited space so you may decide to separate the bricks and storing them somewhere.

Tom Alphin of The LEGO Architect (review) has released the LEGO Storage Guide which is a free online book giving you tips and recommendations on how to store your bricks. The guide is separated into two sections, organizing your bricks and displaying and displaying minifigures and each section has chapters which are structured into easy to follow topics.

I’m sure many fans, especially newer ones, have been wondering what is the most efficient way of storing their LEGO collection and it looks like The LEGO Storage Guide could be a valuable resource to use. Tom will be updating the guide in the future and is gladly taking feedback and suggestions so you can leave it over on his site or email him at [email protected].

Here’s something that is a blast from the past over on Target’s website. The 2015 LEGO Minifigure Gift Box (5004077) is now available again for purchase for whatever reason so if you didn’t get it two years ago or if you’re a newer LEGO fan, you can now buy it again for $9.99. There’s no details on how much inventory they actually have in stock.

It contains four exclusive minifigures that you won’t find in sets and they include LEGO Ninjago Stone Armor Kai, LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Lightning Lad, LEGO Legends of Chima Sir Fangar, and a LEGO City Diver. I’ve already done a review of the set a few years ago so you can check that out if you want.

Thanks to Yoritomo for bring it to my attention.
