LEGO Mosaic Maker Coming to the United States

May 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Personalised Mosaic Portrait (40179)

The LEGO Mosaic Maker has been pretty popular in the UK, Europe, and more recently in Asia and now it will be making its way to the United States. If you’re not familiar with the Mosaic Maker, it’s basically a machine that captures an image of you and you’ll be able to get printed instructions and bricks for your LEGO portrait.

As usual with some of the bigger events, it will be held first at the flagship Flatiron District LEGO Brand Store in New York. They are holding a pre-booking event and you’ll need to claim your spot five weeks in advance. The cost for one of the sets is $129.99 per portrait and you’ll need to pre-pay the cashier before you get the LEGO Mosaic Maker Experience Card to use the machine.

Hopefully, the New York location opens it up more for other stores around the US to have their own machines as well.

Thanks to bcterps for the heads up.

LEGO Overwatch Sets Announced at Licensing Expo 2018

May 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Licensing Expo 2018 is set to kick off and Activision Blizzard has announced that they have partnered up with LEGO to produce LEGO Overwatch sets with multiple sets and various price points. I wonder if it’ll be builds of the heroes or the stages, or perhaps BrickHeadz.

There is other info at this time but for me personally, I’m very excited for this announcement because I’m a huge Overwatch fan. When I’m not doing anything LEGO-related, I’m usually playing the game. You can add me on Blizzard at Tormentalous#1173. Who else is excited for LEGO Overwatch sets?

Thanks to anonymous for the heads up!

New LEGO City Box Images Confirm Power Functions 2.0 Integration

May 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

More images of the summer 2018 LEGO sets have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers including the back of the boxes. One of the more interesting things are the boxes for the LEGO City sets which confirms that the new Power Functions 2.0 can be integrated with it through the Powered Up Platform. This means you will be able to use your phone or tablet to control it along with the standard remote.

LEGO will be moving forward with this innovative feature with these sets along with the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile (76112) as well as for the upcoming LEGO DUPLO trains as well.

LEGO Reveals Logo for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

May 21, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has just revealed the logo for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part which comes out in theaters in February 2019. There’s still no concrete info on what the story will consist of as there have been changes to it since last year. It looks like LEGO is ready to start promoting the movie so hopefully we’ll get some more details at San Diego Comic Con in a few months.

Should LEGO Release a Roller Coaster Tracks Pack?

May 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) is now available for VIP members and many fans are excited to see a set that have been long-awaited since the Fairground subtheme was first started a few years ago. As we know by now, The Joker Manor (70922) introduced some of the new roller coaster tracks but it was hard and fairly expensive to get the track pieces in a larger quantity. We do get a few of the straight pieces in the Rhino Face-Off by the Mine (76099) but those were only straight tracks and some of the curved tracks were in the more expensive sets.

The question at hand is should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack like they do with the LEGO City train tracks? I’m sure that fans will defintely appreciate this kind of pack as it does give an opportunity to get a variety of track pieces in one pack instead of going through BrickLink or other places. They will probably eventually show up on Bricks & Pieces but I would rather just get a single pack and get it out the way.

What do you guys think? Should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack now that they are releasing more sets with these tracks pieces? Let us know in the comments below.
