The Toys That Made Us LEGO Promo Clip

May 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, I reported that The Toys That Made Us will be returning to Netflix on May 25 which includes episodes covering Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek. There is now a promo clip of the LEGO episode coming out of Nerdist which features a little bit about the LEGO Space and Castle sets. In the clip, we also see Adam Reed Tucker, David Robertson, and fellow San Diegan Bruno Todd talk about the sets as well. It looks to be a pretty exciting episode and I can’t wait to watch it.

April 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It has been announced that The Toys That Made Us will be returning to Netflix on May 25, 2018. There will be four episodes that will be coming which includes Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek. Yes that’s right, we’re finally going to get to see the LEGO episode that was teased about a few months ago. There’s no details on what the episode will consist of but it’ll probably feature some AFOLs from Bricks LA from earlier this year as well as some footage from Billund. It was stated in a comment on my previous post about the show that the LEGO episode will focus on things that previous LEGO documentaries didn’t focus on. Whatever that means, it’ll be exciting to see what that could be.
