LEGO Seasonal Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) Review

January 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday was the first day of new LEGO set releases for 2015 and we have our first review of the year with the LEGO Seasonal Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120). The set contains 114 pieces and retails for $9.99.

LEGO Seasonal Valentine's Day Dinner (40120)

Minifigures

There are two minifigures in the set, the male fiancé-to-be and the female fiancé-to-be. The male wears a dark blue pinstripe suit with a tie. The legs are also dark blue. He has a confident smirk on his face as though he knows the female will accept his proposal.

The female minifigure wears a purple blouse with flower patterns on the front of the torso. She also has purple pants to match the torso. She has a happy expression with a short bob cut hairstyle.

Build

The build itself is a small vignette which is part of the inside of a restaurant. It is has a two seater round table filled with wine glasses and pink cakes. What’s nice about this set is the sand green profile bricks that you get. They only appeared in two other sets and there are seven of them in this Valentine’s Day Dinner set. If you’re looking to stock up on them, this is probably the most efficient way to get them. If you’ve bought them before on BrickLink, you know they don’t come by cheap. There are also a couple of lamps that hang on the wall as well as some flowers that sit on the window sill.

Also included in this set is a brick-built gift box … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Valentine’s Day 2015 Set (41020)

December 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Valentine's Day 2015 (40120)

Christmas is over and it’s time to talk about the next major holiday that drives sales here in the US and that is Valentine’s Day. Like this year, it looks like LEGO will be releasing sets based on certain holidays throughout 2015.

For Valentine’s Day, there will be a small vignette set (40120) showing what appears to be a marriage proposal. The set will have 114 pieces and probably retail for $9.99 and it shows a couple at a restaurant with a engagement ring for the female. There is also a small gift box to hold the ring. The set will most likely be available sometime in January at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

Update: If you’re near LEGOLAND California in San Diego (Carlsbad), I’ve been told that the set is available at the shop. Thanks Charlie for the heads up.

LEGO Seasonal Decorating the Tree (40058) Polybag Available at Toys R Us

December 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

If you missed out on the LEGO Seasonal Decorating the Tree (40058) polybag last year at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home, you’ll be glad to know that US Toys R Us is now currently carrying them in stores. I can confirm that they are $9.99 each and are tucked away behind the register counters or the guest service desk. If you need info for it, the SKU is 52B88C4D and the UPC is 673419183826. They are also listed on TRU’s website but aren’t available to purchase yet at this time. The polybag itself contains 110 pieces and also includes 2 minifigures. This polybag will make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas which is exactly three weeks away as of this post.

Update: There are a couple of reports that TRU won’t be selling them until December 14. You may want to call your store to clarify before going there.

LEGO Christmas Train Ornament (5002813) Review

November 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

At the LEGO Store Exclusive 2014 Holiday VIP Shopping Event, there were freebies that were given out including a new Christmas Train Ornament (5002813). The Christmas Train Ornament contains 26 pieces including the string. It comes in a nice dark red pouch inside a sealable wrapper.

The train itself is a simple build with the string going around the round 2×2 plate with eye. The stars on the wheels give the train a little flair and gives it some color besides the black, white, and red design. Unless I’m wrong, I believe the only exclusive part is the 2014 2×2 white plate.

Overall, Christmas Train Ornament (5002813) was a nice gift given out to VIPs at the shopping event. The red pouch is also a nice touch and I appreciate that it wasn’t just a standard polybag. There’s no word at this time whether or not it will be available for customers later on.

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Toy Workshop (40106) Review

October 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

During the whole month of October, when you purchase over $99 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, you are eligible for the first of two FREE exclusive holiday sets for 2014, the LEGO Creator Toy Workshop (40106). The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags, one white 6×8 plate, one nougat 6×8 plate, and a small instructions booklet.

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Toy Workshop (40106)

For the minifigures, you have a male and a female elf. For the male elf, the torso is a dark red flannel shirt and it has in a couple of LEGO City sets before. The dark tans legs that are used are from Bilbo Baggins and many others. He has a smiling expression and the elf ears and green hat piece is the same ones that we’ve seen on other elves.

The female elf is also a combination of parts that we’ve seen before. The blue sweater with purple scarf torso has been used in a couple of older Winter Village sets as well as the 2012 Holiday Set. The legs are short light bluish grey. She has a double-sided face with a smile on one side and a scard look on the other. Again, the elf ears are the same as the male elf. She also has a paintbrush as an accessory.

For the set itself, you have a small toy workshop as well as some already assembled toys including a yellow bulldozer, a green steam engine train, a soldier nutcracker, and a couple of presents.

The toy workshop is a … Continue

LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) Official Images

October 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Creator 2014 Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107)

The official images of the 2014 LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) set are now available. We first saw an image of the box a few days ago when the set was accidentally sent to a Shop@Home customer. Now we get a clearer look at the Ice Skating scene as well as a different angle of it.

Again, it shows a frozen pond where a minifigure is playing hockey while the other is sledding down a snowy hill. The only thing that I’m disappointed with is that the hockey sticks aren’t the molded ones from the Hockey Player from the Series 4 Collectible Minifigures but instead, the sticks are brick-built.

The 2014 LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) set will be available for free during Brick Friday 2014 weekend from November 28 – December 1 with purchases of $99 or more. This set will be a little bit harder to obtain since you only have four days to get it while the Toy Workshop (40106) Holiday Set has been available during the whole month of October.

LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive Ice Skating (40107) Image Revealed

October 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Brickset has revealed the image for the second 2014 LEGO Creator Holiday Exclusive set, the Ice Skating (40107) scene. As you can see, it’s a small set showing one minifigure sliding down the ice while the other minifigure is playing hockey. I’m surprised that LEGO didn’t use the hockey stick from the Series 4 Hockey Player Collectible Minifigure but instead opting for a brick-built one which looks more like a broom.

The set will be given away for free during Brick Friday weekend, November 28 – December 1 with purchases of $99 or more.
