LEGO Lester (40308) Polybag Available at Leicester Square

October 1, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

If you remember from last year at the opening of the Leicester Square flagship LEGO Brand Store, there was an exclusive Lester minifigure that was given away that was limited to 275. Well it appears that Lester may not be that limited after all. There’s a new Lester (40308) polybag that can now be purchased at Leicester Square for £5.99 each. This is great for fans who weren’t able one via the scratch card raffle when the store opened but is somewhat of a burn for those who got the original one. This particular Lester minifigure also has a black umbrella which the original one didn’t have so technically the new one is exclusive as well. Is there anyone in London who is able to send me a couple?

LEGO Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) Review

August 9, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In recent years, LEGO has released some peculiar standalone sets featuring some past minifigures. It started off with the Iconic Easter (5004468) set with the Chicken Suit Guy then last year with the Gingerbread Man (5005156). Starting tomorrow, LEGO kicks off a new promotion that runs until the end of August which will feature the Iconic Cave Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936). You can get it for free with a purchase of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home.

The packaging is fairly interesting. Throughout the whole box, there are various things that are carved into the stone wall including a minifigure blueprint on the back. Also on the back is a lost poster of their supposed pet dinosaur. The door is perforated and it opens to reveal the Caveman and Cavewoman.

The Caveman was first introduced in the Series 1 Collectible Minifigures (8683). For this version, he has a pelt outfit that is more brown than before but unfortunately like before, there is no back printing. He has the same head with the bushy eyebrows and large smile. His hair/beard piece, however, is different with the new Caveman having a dark brown piece. His accessory is a dark brown club.

The Cavewoman was also from a previous Collectible Minifigures series (Series 5 – 8805) and like the Caveman, she has a similar design pattern from before. For the new version, she has a brown outfit with tan outlines. Like before, the hair piece is a soft rubber mold but this one … Continue

August 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

There will be lots of LEGO anniversaries coming up for 2018 including the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick and it looks like we will be getting some special anniversary sets to celebrate it. In a post over on Eurobricks, Sir von Lego has stated there are five rumored sets that could be centered around various old school LEGO themes which could include some fan favorites like Classic, Space, Castle, Pirates, and Town. They also stated that the Classic box will look like the shape of a brick. LEGO is known for releasing anniversary type sets in the past and it’ll be exciting to see what we’ll be getting next year.

LEGO Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936)

July 2, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Yesterday, I reported on the August 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and the main promotion of the month is the Iconic Caveman & Cavewoman (5004936) minifigures. It will be available August 10-31 with a purchase of $50 or more, while supplies last.

If you’ve collecting the Collectible Minifigures since the beginning, you’ll notice that the new minifigures look similar to the ones released previously. The Caveman was from Series 1 (8683) while the Cavewoman was from Series 5 (8805). The only difference with the new ones are the colors for the printing on the torsos, legs, and the hair pieces so this technically makes them exclusive to this set.

The packaging for the double minifigures has some designs for the rock home and the wooden door which opens to reveal the minifigures. The Caveman & Cavewoman is the third “Iconic” set that LEGO will be releasing with the first one being the Chicken Suit Guy in the Iconic Easter (5004468) and the other with the Gingerbread Man (5005156) from last year.

LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) Review

June 25, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Earlier this month, LEGO had a promotion for the Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) with purchases of $35 or more. Here’s a little short review of the set with something special at the end.

Packaging

The box that the Minifigure Travel Pack comes in has the design of a suitcase with printing of stickers throughout. Inside the box, there’s more printing of various LEGO elements that people may take on a trip.

The items inside the box include the instructions in the form of a passport, a bag of parts, and some signs.

Minifigure

There’s one minifigure included with this set and he’s nothing too special. The torso features the spaceman printing and green arms. It has been used before in previous sets but it’s still cool to get that particular one. The legs are medium blue and the cap that he wears is lime green.

Builds

There are lots of little builds that are in the set such as a beach chair with an umbrella, a mini sandcastle, a barbeque, and a camera on a tripod. There’s also a surfboard, a whip used as a fishing rod, some scuba gear, suitcase, and ice cream cone.

The idea of the set is to use these builds along with the minifigure and take picutres of them in various locations. In the back of the instructions, there are some images of the set at different locales.

Results

The LEGO Minifigure Travel Pack (5004932) isn’t your typical promotional set as June is sort of a travel month for LEGO promos. … Continue
