July 27, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Rolls-Royce UltraFan – The Ultimate Jet Engine by Dancodd is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Containing over 20,000 parts, it is a replication of Rolls-Royce UltraFan jet engine that looks pretty good.

The project now joins a number of other projects in the Second 2018 Review Stage including the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, International Space Station, SpaceX – The Ultimate Collection, Steamboat Willie, and M&M’s Chocolate Candy Dispenser.

LEGO Stores Taking Pre-Orders for LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)?

July 26, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043)

The LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle (71043) was just announced yesterday morning and it’ll be available on August 15 for VIP members and September 1 for the general public. I’ve been told by a source that LEGO Stores may be taking pre-orders for this set as there was a sign in the front stating “Ask us about how to Pre-Order our new Exclusive.” I was also told that the deposit for it was $39.99. I’m not sure if all LEGO Stores are doing pre-orders but it’s interesting to see LEGO trying something new for their exclusive sets as there will be a high demand for the Hogwarts Castle when it comes out in a few short weeks. I suggest contact your store to see if they are indeed taking pre-orders for it. I haven’t been down to my store yet to check but if someone did do it, let us know in the comments.

If you didn’t see the announcement post, Hogwarts Castle (71043) will become the second largest ever LEGO set coming in at 6,020 pieces and it will retail for $399.99. Head over to the link above to see the press release as well as a ton of images that LEGO has sent over.

LEGO SDCC 2018 Swag Pack Giveaway

July 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve been a long-time reader of the site, you would know that usually after San Diego Comic Con I would do some giveaways for some of the LEGO swag I get from the event from exclusive minifigures to sets. Unfortunately this year, I was not lucky enough to win any of the LEGO lotteries so I don’t have any of those to give away, however, I did grab some of the extra LEGO posters the booth was handing out including the Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years and the Superman 80th anniversary. I’ve also grabbed an extra LEGO DC Super Heroes Jessica Cruz minifigure polybag from the Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis screening.

All three items are up for grabs with this LEGO SDCC swag pack and I may even throw in one of The Brick Fan brick badges that I was giving away there. All you have to do is enter my raffle below and it’s pretty much self explanatory. The raffle will run until August 1. The contest is open worldwide and items will be shipped in a poster tube.

LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts (30407) Available at Target

July 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Revealed last month, there will be a new LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter polybag coming out called Harry’s Journey to Hogwarts (30407). Supposedly, they are set to come out in August and there are a few reports that state Target stores have starting getting shipments of them in. So far, I’ve only seen a handful of images of people finding it so most stores may not have them in yet. The DPCI number for the polybag is 204-00-0291 but it is shared with other polybags so doing an inventory search for it isn’t helpful and the easiest way find them is to actually go to a Target location. The polybags are usually found at the checkout lanes and sometimes on the endcaps near the LEGO aisle. Happy hunting!

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part SDCC 2018 Poster on eBay

July 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Warner Bros. panel was a few days ago at San Diego Comic Con and later in the day the booth handed out an exclusive poster for The LEGO Movie 2 to attendees. I wasn’t lucky enough to get one of these posters but they are available on eBay for a fairly reasonable price. The embossed poster is 19 7/8 x 13 3/8 and will be shipped in a poster tube. Since it looks like it’s an SDCC exclusive, I doubt that LEGO will be using this one as a promotional item. I’ve pulled the trigger on one of them to see how it is and I’ll report back on the quality of it.
