However, this version of the set is for fans who either missed out on the first one or are looking for an updated Toy Shop.

The new Winter Toy Shop (10249) will contain 898 pieces and retail for $79.99. Although it looks very similar to the old one, there are some new pieces including some printed sign pieces, minifigure faces, and so on.

The set will be available early for LEGO VIP members on September 16 and to the general public in October. Check out the full press release, images, and designer video below.

LEGO 2016 Set Name Listings on Amazon.de

August 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 46 Comments

Today Amazon.de has upload a ton of listings for various upcoming LEGO 2016 sets. There were many posts on Eurobricks on these listings but I’ve organized them alphabetically by theme. Thanks to CM4sci for the heads up. The set names are loosely translated from German so they might not be the official names but they give you an idea of what the sets are. This list does correspond to the list that came out a few days ago.

Update: LEGO has asked sites to remove the list. Amazon.de messed up and accidentally posted it just a little bit too early. Sorry folks.

Possible LEGO 2016 Set List?

July 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 32 Comments

An interesting list popped up over on BrickPicker that could be a potential list of the first-half 2016 LEGO sets for various themes. This list does correspond to earlier rumors of some City and Ninjago sets for next year. The list was scrambled when I looked at it so I tried to organize it into separate themes. If you look closely, there could be a hint to what the next modular set could be. Keep in mind this isn’t an official list.

LEGO Interview with Ferrari F40 (10248) Designer Michael Psiaki and Car Facts

June 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Earlier today, LEGO announced the latest LEGO Creator set with the Ferrari F40 (10248) and along with the assets, LEGO also provided us with an interview they did with the set designer Michael Psiaki. Here he talks a little more in-depth about the details and challenges while creating the Ferrari F40.

Michael Psiaki is the designer of the LEGO Ferrari F40. In this interview he talks about details and challenges while creating this super sports car.

Did the sharp lines of the F40 make it an easy car to recreate with LEGO bricks?

Actually, the more I worked on this model the more I noticed how many subtle curves there are in the car. The car gets slightly wider and taller as you move towards the back. We managed to pull this off with a clever angled section just behind the doors. It also allowed us to get a really small gap in the frame when the doors close.

Where is the spare wheel?

On the real F40 there’s a compartment under the hood that looks like it should fit an extra wheel in it, but it’s actually too small. Instead there is a can of spray that can be used to patch any flat tires. Just like the real car, the compartment on the LEGO model is too small for a wheel, so we also included the can of spray.

What is one of the more interesting parts used in the model that we can’t see in the images?

There is a tooth element used
