2015 Third Quarter LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure Bar Elements

July 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure 3rd Quarter 2015

At the beginning of July, LEGO Stores changed out their Build-A-Minifigure bar and there are now some new elements for you to choose from. I picked out every single part of each element I could find at the station so some of the parts might be leftovers from last quarter.

For the torsos above, the most notable ones I found was the Kingdoms lion torso and the Monster Fighters jacket.

For the legs, there isn’t much that stand out. There is the Curtis Bolt Ultra Agents black legs with the blue screen that could be useful for some sci-fi characters. The blue jeans are good for any general use. Finally the white spaceman ones are also available.

For the head accessories, I’m not sure which ones are for this quarter because I forgot to document which ones were for last quarter so here’s everything I could find from my store. The selection at your store may vary but there should be some of these in all locations. As you can see, there’s a nice variety to choose from.

For the heads, again I apologize for not being sure which ones are from this quarter’s change out since my store was out of the new heads last quarter. However what I found in this selection are some pretty cool ones like the ghost head from Lord of the Rings and a couple of the female Ultra Agents ones.

Lastly for the accessoreis, some of the new ones include the the trans-pink mug, a bat, a toolbox, … Continue

Anaheim Ducks Frederik Andersen Wearing a New LEGO Goalie Mask Next Season

July 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few months ago, I featured Anaheim Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen and his LEGO goalie mask that he wore during last season in the NHL. For this upcoming season, he will be wearing another LEGO inspired mask to pay tribute to his homeland of Denmark. He has commissioned DaveArt artist David Gunnarsson to create a mask featuring LEGO Batman wearing the Ducks jersey. Even the Ducks logo is seen wearing Batman’s cowl. It looks like we can look forward to seeing Andersen wearing different LEGO masks every season.

Official LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2015 Schedule

July 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, LEGO tweeted out their official schedule for San Diego Comic Con 2015 including details for the retail exclusives as well as the the exclusive minifigure drawings including the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) and LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Arsenal.

They have also listed out the schedule for their product reveals during the convention. On Thursday, July 9th, LEGO will be revealing the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile. On Friday, they’ll be revealing a LEGO Ninjago set. I’m guessing it’ll be the direct-to-consumer Ninjago Temple (70751). Finally, for their big finale on Saturday, July 11th, there will be a LEGO Star Wars reveal. We already know that the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Buildable Battle Figures Stormtrooper will be shown off there but hopefully there will be more sets displayed as well.

LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series Coming in 2016?

July 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s a very interesting rumor coming out of Eurobricks courtesy of none other than Just2Good. Over in the Series 14 topic, there was mentioning of a LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series coming in May 2016. This was also mentioned before on his April Fool’s post but nobody really took it seriously because it was April Fool’s Day.

This rumored Disney Collectible Minifigure Series is a really interesting theme since LEGO has been doing various Minifigures series based on different themes including The LEGO Movie, The Simpsons, and the upcoming the Series 14 Monsters (71010). There are a number of characters that could be used because of Disney’s vast collection of animated movies but one thing that was also mentioned was Pixar.

Another question that could be asked is if Marvel would be affiliated in the way distant future because Disney acquired Marvel back in 2009 and LEGO has already produced a lot of Marvel characters as minifigures. Many LEGO Marvel Super Heroes fans have been wanting a series of Marvel characters as Collectible Minifigures. I’m not saying that LEGO will be making a line for this but it’s certainly a possibility.

There’s so many questions to be asked out of this LEGO Disney CMF rumor but we’ll have to wait until next year to see if this is actually true or not. Again, this is just a total rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt for now but keep in mind that J2G has been a pretty reliable source of upcoming products.… Continue

New LEGO Attraction Coming to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre

July 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

This is more geared towards the folks across the pond but Penny from the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) has sent over press release regarding their new LEGO attraction at the WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre. You can read more about the event below.

Amazing giant LEGO® brick animals will bring families closer to nature this summer at WWT Slimbridge

This summer the world’s most popular toy will bring families closer to nature at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre.

Giant LEGO brick sculptures will be at the attraction in Gloucestershire for eight weeks this summer from July 18 to September 6, alongside their living counterparts.

Bristol designer Tom Poulsom with the team at Bright Bricks is busy creating the figures from the feet (or paws!) up.

Gary Haseley-Nejrup, Slimbridge General Manager, said:

“We are very excited to welcome this new species to WWT Slimbridge for the
summer. The first completed characters look fantastic, we can’t wait for them to be out in the wetlands surrounded by wildlife and think our visitors will be bowled over by them.

Families love being around nature at WWT Slimbridge and the LEGO brick trail is a fun way of putting the spotlight on some really important species, many of which are endangered.”

As well as the trail there will be a large LEGO brick play
