The Toys That Made Us LEGO Episode Now on Netflix

May 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The day is finally here as The Toys That Made Us has finally returned on Netflix in which it includes the episode about LEGO. The 44 minute episode talks about the history of LEGO in a different way. It will have some guests in it including Adam Reed Tucker, David Robertson, and fellow San Diegan Bruno Todd just to name a few. I’ll watch it after I get off from work but I’m pretty stoked for this episode as well as the Transformers one.

New LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Tyrannosaurus Rex Set Found

May 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom Tyrannosaurus Rex

If you’ve think you’re done collecting all the LEGO Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom sets, it looks like there will be another set to hunt for in the near future. Over at a Belgian toy store named Dreamland, they have shown off a new Tyrannosaurus Rex (4000031?) set consisting of 70 pieces as part of one of their promotions they’re having in store. The set shows a T.Rex standing on a brick-built display. The rex itself looks to be an exclusive with its leopard printing.

What’s interesting is that they are claiming that there are only 500 of the sets produced worldwide which I hope isn’t true. This set isn’t part of June’s promos when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is in theaters so that’s out of the question. If it is actually at 500 total sets, it’ll be more rare than the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Pod (5004590) which had a run of only 750 sets. Hopefully there are other opportunities to get a hold of this set in the future, preferably in a more larger quantity.

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.

The Toys That Made Us Returns May 25 Including LEGO Episode

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.
