LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 21

December 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re down to the last five days of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) and if you’re someone who lives at a place that snows a lot, you may be familiar with this vehicle. For Day 21, we have a red and black snowplow that doesn’t look too bad. It uses some black cheese slopes for the plow and there’s even a bed on the back. There are some 1×2 plate withe bars that could be sed for treads.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 20

December 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

After yesterday’s terrible looking model for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), today we have something more fitting for the holiday and refreshing and the same time. For Day 20, we have a cup of hot chocolate which uses a SNOT technique for the red cup and a red handle piece for the handle. The use of the white cupcake piece finishes off the build representing steam coming out of the cup.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 19

December 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We had a server upgrade yesterday so I didn’t have a chance to post this but the build for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) was a bit of a doozy as it doesn’t seem to fit the holiday theme at all. For Day 19, we had a bat. I would’ve thought it was a penguin while building from the bottom up but as I got to the head, I saw the two fangs and got a bit confused until the end. It’s possible that LEGO is referencing the bats from The Nightmare Before Christmas but that seems like a stretch.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 18

December 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

As we wind down on the last few days of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), today we have another cute animal build. For the build for Day 18, we have a mystery animal that I think is a grizzly bear but it could be interpreted as another animal. It uses the SNOT technique that we’ve seen before in this set with the Ladybug (Day 6) and the Snowman (Day 13). i do like the use of the brown cupcake piece for the tail.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 17

We’re at the start of the last week for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) and today’s build is something that is very symbolic to the holidays. For Day 17, we get a simple Advent wreath thats uses some new parts that we haven’t used in this set before including the 4×4 lime green round plate and the yellow teeth pieces for the candle flames.

LEGO Seasonal Nutcracker 2017 Employee Gift (4002017) Revealed

December 17, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Seasonal 2017 Employee Gift (4002017)

Every year if you’re a LEGO employee, whether at The LEGO Group or LEGO Brand Stores, the company gives an exclusive set as a holiday gift. For 2017 being the 40th anniversary of the LEGO Technic theme, this year’s Nutcracker Employee Gift (4002017) has a feature that incorporates that into the build. According to the building instructions, there’s a lever on the back of the Nutcracker to make the arms and mouth move however, it most likely will not be able to crack actual nuts.

If you’re looking to pick up one, there are plenty of sets that are listed on eBay at not so cheap prices. I would suggest waiting a year or two for the prices to drop down just a little but expect to still shell out at least $150 on it.

I know this set has been shown off on social media but I wanted to wait a little longer to post it because some employees, who may be readers, may not have received their sets yet and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for them.

Putting the Nutcracker together was super fun ?? #Being a kid #Making it count #living it up ??

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 16

December 16, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Continuing with today’s build for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), we have one of the most parts intensive builds for this calendar so far. Coming in at 27 pieces, today’s build is a hybrid bird which looks like a combination of a chicken and a turkey. The color scheme is decent but the olive green slope and the gray angular plate pieces seem out of place. Other than that, it’s a decent looking model.
