The Merchant’s House by bigboy99899 is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The model has a medieval setting which is pretty popular among fans. There are some minifigures included with the project such as the merchant, wife, kid, traveller, and knight.

The Merchant’s House now joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, and The Addams Family Mansion as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Third 2015 Review Winners Announced

June 9, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

LEGO news is just flying off the charts today. LEGO Ideas has just announced the results of the Third 2015 Review. There were two winners chosen and they are Beatles Yellow Submarine and the Apollo 11 Saturn V.

The Beatles Yellow Submarine is, of course, by The Beatles and this set will cater to the older generation who watched and listened to it. The best of all, we get official Beatles minifigures!

The Apollo 11 Saturn V will be another LEGO Ideas space set which should be pretty popular as well.

LEGO Ideas The Addams Family Mansion Achieves 10,000 Supporters

June 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The Addams Family Mansion by afol777 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the mansion from the original The Addams Family TV sitcom from the 60s and is a tribute to show. There are many details packed into it which ends up to be a pretty large model made up of over 7,000 pieces. Of course if it is to become an official set, it’ll have to be scaled down substantially.

The Addams Family Mansion joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe and Spaceballs – Eagle 5 as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

With very much hype on social media on the past few weeks, the Voltron – Defender of the Universe project by len_d69 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the popular Japanese anime and is personally one of my favorite shows from the 80’s. It contains all five lions including the black for the head and body, yellow and green for the arms, and blue and yellow for the legs.

Voltron is the first project to qualify for the Second 2015 Review Stage. I usually am not biased on LEGO Ideas projects but this is one that I actually want to see released as an official set.

The Johnny Five project by PepaQuin is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is based on the robot from the Short Circuit movies back in the 80s. It has about 300 pieces and stands at 7″ tall with various points of articulation including the torso, arms, head, and even the eyebrows. Johnny Five also features a retracting shoulder mount and moving treads.

The project barely makes it into the First 2016 Review Stage and it joins the Fossil Museum, the Gingerbread House, the Modular Train Station, the Old Fishing Store, the Jedi High Council, the Particle Accelerator, the Jurassic Park Visitor Center, and the Rolling BB-8 as the projects that qualify for review.

Custom LEGO Ideas Mazes from the LEGO Community

April 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The LEGO Ideas Maze (21305) has been available for a few weeks now and I’ve been seeing quite a few custom mazes that the community has created. Of course, you have Jason Allemann (JK Brickworks) with the original design as well as a motorized mini golf maze which you can see it going in the video below. Some features of it include a swinging block, the rolling gate, and of course the motorized windmill.

Another one from JK Brickworks is his Legends of the Sea which features an underwater scene filled with many objects like a broken in half sunken ship, ancient ruins, and the Kraken.

Marble Maze (Labyrinth) - Legends of the Sea

On to maze designs that I’ve seen not created by Jason include Benny’s Maze by Marcus_Aurelius2 over on Reddit. It shows a very cool design that is made to look like Benny’s Spaceship.

Another very cool one that I’ve found was a Star Wars scene by Chun-Wei Cheng that includes many microbuilds like the X-Wing, TIE Fighter, AT-AT, and the Death Star.

John Stephens over on Flickr has created a futuristic factory-themed maze that has robotic arms and the dangling chains which I really like.

Over on Instagram, brick_rhodes has created a golf-themed maze. The main feature is that you have to “drive” the ball off the tee. Although not a real maze, per-se, you have to guide the ball while avoiding traps like the sand traps and water.
