LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Given Retiring Soon Tag on Shop@Home

March 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) has finally been given the “Retiring Soon” tag on Shop@Home. At the end of last month, I reported that Peter Reid’s set would be decomissioned, aka stopping production, and today the tag has been applied to it. There’s no word on the official date when the Exo Suit will be completely gone but it won’t be too long. Plus there’s still time to take advantage of the Double VIP Points event so get it while you can.

LEGO Ideas Doctor Who Teaser Video

March 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Ever since LEGO announced that there will be a LEGO Ideas Doctor Who set, it’s been fairly quiet on that front. There’s also been a rumor that I reported of a potential release date but it’s exactly what it is, just a rumor for now.

However for those who haven’t seen it yet, on the LEGO Club site, there’s a short 0:19 teaser of LEGO Ideas Doctor Who with the title “Materialising 2015.” The video has the TARDIS sound while the LEGO logo is materialising. At the end you can see Peter Calpaldi’s version of the Doctor appear as well. The video doesn’t show much than what we’ve seen before but it gives us a taste of what’s to come in the near future.

LEGO Doctor Who Release Date?

March 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, I reported on some details of the LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory and WALL•E sets with info given to me by my contact. The same contact has provided the release month(s) for the LEGO Ideas Doctor Who set is rumored to be around October or November and New Zealand in January 2016. It was also stated that it was apparently delayed for some reason. Given that, the official reveal of the set probably won’t happen for a few more months.

There hasn’t been much details about the Doctor Who set except for the teaser image of a partial Peter Capaldi’s minifigure head. LEGO fans along with Whovians will have to wait a little longer for more details to be released.

Some Information about LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory and WALL•E Sets

March 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

To make up for the downtime early this morning, I have some new information about the upcoming LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory and WALL•E sets. Many fans have been waiting for any kind information about them but there’s been absolutely nothing so far, until now. This information comes from the same contact who first told us that the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes The Shield Helicarrier (76042), LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016), and the LEGO Star Wars UCS TIE Fighter (75095) would be released this year.

For both of the new LEGO Ideas sets, the pricing was said to be at NZD 109.99. What this may mean is that the sets will be the most expensive LEGO Ideas sets to date and will probably be the largest in terms of piece count as well. They also told me that they will be available in New Zealand in September but we usually get the sets a little earlier so I’m thinking around the middle of summer wave sets.

Unfortunately, there is no other information that was given about the sets as well as the LEGO Ideas Doctor Who set. Of course take this information as a rumor but given the track record of our contact who has been correct many times before, I’d say they’re pretty reliable.

Update: Many people have been up in arms over my guess for the price so you can make your own guesses given the NZD that I’ve been told. I did compare pricing of similar priced sets from New Zealand … Continue

Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex Achieves 10,000 Supporters on LEGO Ideas

March 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex by senteosan is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you remember back in 2013, the Tyrannosaurus was part of his LEGO CUUSOO Jurassic Park project before it was archived due to licensing issues. This was also before Jurassic Park sets were allowed again on LEGO Ideas.

As a Jurassic Park/dinosaur fan, I do like the overall look of the set and it would make a great display piece. The Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex project now joins The Discworld, Science Adventures, the Medieval Market Street, Disney Princess Frozen: Elsa’s Ice Palace, and the Douglas DC-3 to qualify for the First 2015 Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Decomissioned Today

February 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just a reminder, today is the last day to order the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) from Shop@Home as it will be decomissioned, aka retired. You can also pick up the set on Amazon if you want to go that route. The Exo Suit was one of the top sets in 2014 and even became sold out for a short time when it was first released. I’m not sure what will happen once March rolls around but I wouldn’t wait if you still don’t have a set yet. There might be some sets still lingering in stores after today but I believe this is it for the Exo Suit.

February 26, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Douglas DC-3 by Ssorg is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The aircraft is a fixed-wing propeller airliner that transformed air travel in the 1930s and 1940s and had the most impact in World War II. The set comes in at 18 inches in length with a 26 inch wingspan and includes some plays features such as a turn knob to retract and extend the landing gear as well as a removable top to access the interior. You can check out the landing gear feature in this video.
