LEGO Canvas Tote Bag Review

June 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will be starting a new promotion until the end of the month for an exclusive Canvas Tote Bag. You can get it for free with purchases of $199 or more in LEGO Stores.

For the Canvas Tote Bag itself, it’s your typical full-sized, creme/white colored bag with the LEGO logo branding on one side. The material used for the logo seems to be a decent quality and should be able to withstand multiple uses.

For the compartments, you have the main one which is quite large for normal items like books or a laptop. I was able to fit TLBM Batwing box into it but that is about as much as you can fit into it if you are using it to buy more LEGO. There is also a smaller pocket where the LEGO logo is.

Overall, the new LEGO Canvas Tote Bag is the largest promotional giveaways I’ve seen since coming back to LEGO. The main deterrent is not the bag itself but the high qualifying purchase you have to make to get it. The last tote bag that LEGO released was back in 2011 so it’s nice to see another gear item. Again, it will only be available at LEGO Stores starting on June 15-30 while supplies last. Thank you to the LEGO Affiliate Team for sending this item in.

Update: It looks like LEGO is offering the Canvas Tote Bag on Shop@Home when you make a purchase of $199 or more. To redeem the offer, enter the code JUNE at … Continue

Official LEGO Fidget Spinner Building Instructions

May 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

The current fad, at least here in the US, is fidget toys and fidget spinners. Before the ship has sailed, it appears that LEGO has produced official building instructions for two versions of the toy.

The builds are very similar with no exclusive parts but it depends if you want to hold a turntable piece or a Technic pin. Of course, you can still customize the LEGO Fidget Spinner to your liking.

January 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, an image of the LEGO Iconic Brick Calendar (40172) appeared online and folks across the pond were able to purchase it. It looks like North America is able to purchase the set now on Shop@Home. The set contains 278 pieces and retails for $19.99. I haven’t seen it at the LEGO Store here yet but I assume it’s available at LEGOLAND. If someone can confirm that, I would appreciate it.

Never lose track of the date with this cool LEGO® calendar, perfect for any office, kitchen, bedroom or hallway. Build the chunky number cubes and display them on the special stand with minifigure, turning them every day to show the correct date.

-Includes 4 buildable number blocks, display stand and a minifigure.
-Turn the blocks around each day to show the correct date.
-Calendar displayed on stand measures over 3” (8cm) high, 11” (29cm) wide and 2” (7cm) deep.

LEGO 2016 Employee Exclusive 50 Years on Track (4002016) Revealed

December 26, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Now that Christmas is over, I’ve been waiting a few weeks to post this set since images of it first showed up online but I didn’t want to spoil it for the LEGO employees who haven’t received theirs yet. The 2016 LEGO employee exclusive set is called 50 Years on Track (4002016) and it has a whopping 1,141 pieces. The set celebrates six decades of LEGO trains since it was first released in 1966 and it features six different types of trains through the years including:

Motorized Train Set – 1966
Western Train – 1976
Monorail Transport System – 1987
Metroliner – 1991
Emerald Night – 2009
Winter Holiday Train – 2016

Again, the only legit way to get the 50 Years on Track (4002016) set was to be a LEGO employee which also includes LEGO Brand Store associates but that doesn’t stop it from hitting the secondary market such as eBay where it is going for around $250. For those LEGO employees who kept theirs, congratulations as this is a great set especially for LEGO train fans.
