LEGO Inside Tour 2015 Details Announced

September 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Brickset has reported that LEGO has published details about next year’s LEGO Inside Tour. If you haven’t heard of the LEGO Inside Tour, it takes you on an very unique tour where you can visit Ole Kirk Christiansen’s original house, meet the LEGO designers, as well as take a look at the Billund factory. Another perk that you get from the tour is the exclusive set that is given away to attendees. This year’s set was The LEGOLAND Train (4000014).

If you’ve tried to applying for a spot on the tour before, you know that it’s extremely difficult to get in since they sell out within minutes. The LEGO Inside Tour is even harder to get in than San Diego Comic Con and I know how hard it is to get tickets to SDCC.

Registration for LEGO Inside Tour opens at 1.00 PM on Monday 3 November 2014 (Danish time)

There are four different tours that potential attendees can get in to:

5 May – 8 May
19 May – 22 May
9 June – 12 June
16 June – 19 June

The price for the tour has increased by 10% from 13,000 DKK last year to 14,500 DKK ($2500, £1500, 1900€) this year. Also, travel accommodations to Billund is NOT included so you will have to arrange that yourself.

Countdown to LEGO (Blank) Continues

September 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO has posted another countdown image on their Facebook page as well as on their other social media pages such as Google+. Again, the image has the same line of colors across the top and bottom like in their image from a few days ago.

A lot of people have already debunked what the countdown is for already so if you want to know, check out our previous post.

LEGO Announcement Accidentally Revealed? – (Spoilers)

September 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Earlier this morning, we reported that LEGO will be making an announcement to “reveal something very exciting.” It looks like LEGO has accidentally spilled the beans on what this announcement could be.

Over on LEGO’s Google+ post of the same image, you can see the details of the photo and the file name says “Bionicle-4-new.jpg20140915-4177-5fuc51.jpg.” This pretty much almost confirms that they will be announcing the return of LEGO BIONICLE in 2015 and shoots down my guess that it could be the LEGO Ideas results. For many of us in the LEGO community, we already knew about the return of LEGO BIONICLE next year but for the general public who aren’t in the know, this is news to them.

We’ll keep you updated but it kinda lessens the excitement just a tad bit.

Exciting LEGO Announcement This Friday

September 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

LEGO has announced that in 4 days on Friday, September 19th, they will be “revealing something very exciting. Let the guessing game commence!” The picture, seen above, has a test card pattern which may give an indication of what this reveal could be. Test card patterns are often used as when there is no programming being broadcasted on a TV channel.

If I were to guess what the reveal is on Friday, it will be the results for the first LEGO Ideas review. We’ve been waiting a while for the results and it seems like the right time to reveal the set. There are a number of very good projects including LEGO Bird Project, Modular Apple Store, BTTF – Jules Verne Train, Doctor Who, The Big Bang Theory. and Doctor Who and Companions but the projects that kind of correlate to the image are The Big Bang Theory and the two Doctor Who projects. Since they are both television shows, it would make sense that a test card pattern would be used somehow.

I suspect that each day, LEGO will be posting another image to countdown to Friday so stay tuned. What do you think this reveal is all about?

Say Hello to Toy Brick Co

September 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier this morning, I got an email from Laura who is introducing their new site, Toy Brick Co. The UK site specializes in mixed packs that adults can purchase for their children to start their collection. There are no instructions because they focus on the concept of “buy and build” which encourages kids to build with their imagination. The company started on eBay but have recently expanded to a full website. Although they are located in the UK, they do ship internationally.

A new “Buy and Build” website has launched in the UK selling new LEGO and reasonably priced used LEGO worldwide.

The Toy Brick Co offers a selection of new LEGO and genuine, excellent quality, used Lego, including mixed bags of bricks, starter kits, baseplate packs, door and window packs, tree and flower packs, minifig packs and gift packs.

All used Lego is quality checked, properly cleaned and sorted prior to being listed for sale.

The “Bags of new mixed LEGO bricks” have proven most popular and the site’s owners have been inundated with orders of their LEGO starter kits.

Visit www.thetoybrickco.com for more info on their ‘Buy & Build’ LEGO products.
