LEGO Ideas The Hubble Space Telescope Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 31, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Hubble Space Telescope by GRusso is the latest project to get 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It barely made the deadline to reach the Second Review Stage for 2014. With the recent popularity of science-type projects for LEGO fans such as the Research Institute, it’s cool to see another project join the ranks of projects to achieve 10,000 supporters.

It now joins the Assault on Wayne Manor, Invisible Hand, X-Men: X-Mansion, LEGO Lightsabers, UCS All Terrain Armoured Transport, WALL•E, and The Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters as the projects that will be reviewed by the LEGO Jury.

Also, the results of the first 2014 LEGO Review Stage should be coming very soon so we’ll get to see if either the LEGO Bird Project, Modular Apple Store, BTTF – Jules Verne Train, Doctor Who, The Big Bang Theory, or Doctor Who and Companions will become an official LEGO set.

Congratulations to GRusso for this achievement!

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit and Research Institute Availability Part 2

August 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A while ago, I emailed LEGO just to see if the Research Institute (21110) would be coming back to Shop@Home and I finally got a response from LEGO Customer Service. Unfortunately as you probably have known already, it is listed as “Sold Out” and will not be coming back at all on Shop@Home but will continue to be sold at LEGO Stores.

Thank you so much for getting in touch with us.

I’m so sorry but we aren’t making the Research Institute any more. This set was LEGO® Ideas set, and only made in limited quantities. The Research Institute has already sold out completly for our stock online. I know how disappointing this can be.

This set will continue to be sold in our LEGO Stores though, so if you have one close by I would recommend giving them a call. You can find all of our stores listed at stores.LEGO.com.

We appreciate your comments, so I’ll be passing your interest in the Research Institute on to the design team. You never know, some of the old treasures might make a comeback! This is exactly what happened with another LEGO Ideas set based on Minecraft. That set was so popular that we ended up bring it back, and making new additions to the line. I have my fingers crossed that it happens with this one as well!

At the same time, the LEGO Ideas blog has stated that more of both the Exo Suit (21109) and the Research Institute will be available again in the future … Continue

August 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you weren’t able to get the LEGO Ideas Research Institute (21110) on Shop@Home, you may want to keep want to keep an eye out at Toys R Us. They currently have the set listed on their website but is currently unavailable for purchase at this time.

There have been reports that people have purchased the Exo Suit (21109) from TRU and have received their shipment. Whether the Research Institute will really be available at TRU remains to be seen but it’s still worth it to keep tabs if you want one. Thanks to Clutch for the heads up.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Available on Amazon

August 9, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you weren’t able to buy the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) on Shop@Home, you’ll be glad to know that Amazon has it available for $34.95. It does, however, require an additional 1-2 days to process but at least you’ll be able to purchase it and it is eligible for Amazon Prime.

On the same note, The Brothers Brick has reported that the Exo Suit is not on a limited run. Andrew had a conference call with the people at LEGO in Enfield and Billund and was reassured that the single production run rumor is false so there you have it. There will be more sets coming out in the future but that may take a little while longer. In the meantime, click on that Amazon link up top to get the set from Amazon. You’ll be helping our site as well as getting the set for yourself so it’s a win-win.

Update: And just like that, the offer is over. We’ll keep you updated if it’s available again.

LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters HQ Achieves 10,000 Supporters

August 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in March, we featured Sergio Herencias’ LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters MOC and since then, he has listed the project on LEGO Ideas. Building it from inspiration by Brent Waller’s instructions, Sergio’s version of the Firehouse is a hybrid between the headquarters from the original Ghostbusters movie and Ghostbusters II. The build consists of around 2,800 pieces and took him about 20 hours to create.

The Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters now heads to the second Review Stage and joins the Assault on Wayne Manor, Invisible Hand, X-Men: X-Mansion, LEGO Lightsabers, UCS All Terrain Armoured Transport, and WALL•E as the projects currently slated to be reviewed by LEGO to become an official set. The deadline for the second review deadline is 12:00AM GMT September 1st so there’s still a chance that a few more projects to join the fray. Congratulations again to Sergio for this achievement.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit and Research Institute Availability

August 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Not even a week after the newest LEGO Ideas sets were released, the inventory on the Exo Suit (21109) and the Research Institute (21110) have run dry. Not even a day after the release of the Exo-Suit, the amount that you could buy was changed from 2 to 1 and it went on backorder with it shipping in 30 days. The status of it has since been changed to “Temporary out of stock.”

If you followed my Facebook Page, you would’ve seen that the Exo Suit was flying off the shelves and the inventory they had were already gone by the end of the day. The rumor that the set would only have a single production run probably fueled the demand of the set even more on top of the already immense popularity of it. If you ordered it online, it’s a wait and see situation if you’ll be getting yours or not. I’ve had people comment saying that the set showed up at their house without a shipping confirmation email so there’s a chance that your order may have went through.

For the Research Institute, it is now listed as “Sold Out” on Shop@Home. If you wanted to pick up this set, it is probably too late now unless you can find them at your LEGO Store. I know mine (Fashion Valley, San Diego) will have some more coming in on Friday but I expect them to be sold very quickly. Unlike the Exo Suit, it was available for purchase a lot longer than … Continue
