October 30, 2015 /

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103)

A week ago, I did a giveaway for the LEGO CUUSOO DeLorean Time Machine (21103) because it was Back to the Future Day and after over 13,000 entries, the winner has been randomly chosen by the Rafflecopter widget. Without further ado, the winner is:

Julio Cespedes – Omaha, NE

I’ve already emailed the winner and they have a few days to respond or else I’ll have to reroll. Congratulations to Julio but do not worry as I’ll have another contest on Halloween. Wait that’s tomorrow! Yep, so stay tuned for that post.

Zero LEGO Ideas Projects Selected to Become Official Set

October 30, 2015 /

Today LEGO has announced the results of the First 2015 LEGO Ideas Review Stage and I believe for the first time ever, there was not a project that was selected to become an official LEGO Ideas sets. These projects include:

Science Adventures
The Discworld
Medieval Market Street
Disney Princess Frozen Elsa’s Ice Castle
Douglas DC-3
Bricksauria/Tyrannosaurus Rex
International Space Station
The Golden Girls Living Room and Kitchen Modular Set
Legend of Zelda: King of Red Lions Play Set
RMS Titanic
1969 Corvette
Small Yellow
Daft Punk

There are no specifics of why each project did not pass but some of the broader reasons stated include disagreements with the intellectual property rights, projects being too similar to existing products or future products, or projects being too large.

All is not lost though as they are still looking into the F7A Hornet – Star Citizen set. If you’re not familiar with Star Citizen, it is an upcoming space simulator video game that will be launching in 2016.

LEGO CUUSOO Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine (21103)

Today is Back to the Future Day and to celebrate the occasion, I’m giving away the 2013 LEGO CUUSOO DeLorean Time Machine (21103). The set was officially retired at the end of last year but was still available around the beginning of this year. It has since been off the shelves and only available on the secondary market like BrickLink and eBay but now you have an opportunity to win one. The giveaway is pretty simple and is ran like many of my previous ones. All you have to do is to use the Rafflecopter widget below and follow the instructions. This contest is available worldwide. I’ll let it run for a week and I’ll choose the winner shortly after that. Good luck!

LEGO Releases Official Statement Regarding WALL·E (21303)

October 19, 2015 /

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303)

LEGO has finally posted an official statement regarding the head swivel issue for the WALL·E (21303) set on the LEGO Ideas blog. It’s pretty much the same thing that was said on a customer’s email that I reported on yesterday. The only difference is that they’ve updated the stock availability to it being shipped in 30 days.

If you’ve already purchased WALL·E, contact Customer Service to get the updated parts when they’re available.

LEGO Working on LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) Head Issue

October 18, 2015 /

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303)

As we know by now, the release of the LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) has been nothing short of a complete disaster. It was originally set for release on September 1st but it has since been delayed and has been listed for a February 2016 release on Shop@Homeicon. The limited amount of sets that have shown up at LEGO Brand have already been sold out or recalled with no mentioning of the reason. Presumably it’s because of the weak neck joint but as I and many others have reported, it’s mainly because of the swiveling head.

A post on Reddit from LEGO Customer Service has noted that WALL·E’s head is indeed a problem and this is the first time that we’ve heard LEGO acknowledging it after numerous complaints from various outlets. They also state that they’re working on a fix for the head with a new solution in the next couple of weeks. My guess is that the second wave of recalls is to fix the head swivel which was a problem from the very beginning. I’m not sure why LEGO didn’t fix it when they recalled it the first time for the neck. Stay tuned as we get details on when the LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) will be available for purchase again. If you already have the set ahead of this fix, you can either call or email LEGO Customer Service and they’ll most likely send you the parts.

LEGO Ideas Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series Achieves 10,000 Supporters

October 11, 2015 /

After a little cool off from all of today’s big news including the announcement of the LEGO Creator Modular Brick Bank (10251), the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas is the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series by Matthew Inman. The build contains about 1,700 bricks and is very accurate to the real-life counterpart.

The Landcruiser is the third project to get the required number of supporters to qualify for the Third 2015 Review Stage joining the Jurassic Park Explorer and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus.

LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304) Gallifreyan Shopping Network

October 6, 2015 /

LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304)

The official Doctor Who YouTube channel has released a new video featuring the new LEGO Ideas Doctor Who (21304) set. The video is made in a Gallifreyan Shopping Network broadcast similar to the Home Shopping Network.

In the video, we can see some closer details of what we’ll be getting in the Doctor Who set and the size of the set compared to a regular person since it’s hard to judge from just pictures.

Construct a stunningly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic TARDIS® and role-play the Doctor’s time-travel adventures! Created by fan-designer Andrew Clark and selected by LEGO Ideas members, this set is based on the BBC’s popular and long-running television series about a Time Lord – the Doctor – exploring the universe in a blue police box. Due to trans-dimensional engineering, the TARDIS is bigger on the inside than the outside and this cool multifunctional set includes the console room that houses all the flight controls. Regenerate the Doctor and defeat the evil Daleks™ and a Weeping Angel with the help of his extraordinary companion Clara. Then close the doors of the TARDIS and launch into another dimension! Includes 4 minifigures with assorted accessory elements: the Eleventh Doctor, the Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald and a Weeping Angel, plus 2 Daleks™.
