LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223) Revealed

January 24, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We’ve just gotten over the holiday season but Brickset has already posted an image of this year’s exclusive LEGO Seasonal set. The 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223) features Santa and Christmas tree in a container with a little house build below it sort of like a snowglobe. This looks to be one of the coolest looking Seasonal set so far. It’ll most likely be available either in October or November when the holiday promotions start. Thanks to BB8fan for the email.

LEGO Seasonal Valentines Cupid Dog (40201) Review

January 1, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A lot of new LEGO sets became available today and included in that list is the Valentines Cupid Dog (40201). As you can see, LEGO has gone back to the 2014 creature designs instead of continuing with the vignettes from last year. This set contains 150 pieces and retails or $9.99. The contents of the box include two un-numbered bags and a small instruction booklet.

The build is very simple and much like the previous characters, you start with the lower torso and legs. After that, you build up the rest of the torso and arms followed by the head. The legs are still on hinges while the arms are on ball joints so there’s more articulation. The head is on a swivel and the ears are also on a ball joint. You can also see its tongue sticking out a little. Finally, the tail is able to swing around on a TECHNIC pin. The accessories included with the the dog is a little brick-built candy heart and a bow and arrow. You also see on the torso that it’s wearing a red bowtie made out of cheese slopes.

Overall, the Valentines Cupid Dog (40201) is a slight upgrade over the 2014 Valentine’s Day Teddy Bear (40085) but mainly because of the articulation it has. However, it is a slight downgrade from the Valentine’s Day Dinner (40120) vignette that we got last year since it was pretty much perfect. I don’t have any cons for the Cupid Dog but it’s not as cute as the … Continue

LEGO 2015 Christmas Tree Ornament (5003083) Review

December 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today I have a short review of the LEGO December 2015 Christmas Tree Ornament (5003083). It was only available for a week with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Brand stores and on Shop@Home. This is the second year that LEGO has done this particular promotion with last year being the Christmas Train (5002813) and this one comes in at 32 pieces.

Like with the previous one, it does come in a resealable packaging with protects the inner fabric bag that holds the set. The tree itself is pretty simple with the usual building techniques of stacking the sloped pieces. There are some printed pieces like the envelope tile as well as the 2015 tile which is exclusive to the ornament. At the top, you have the Technic axle connector which allows you to tie the gold cord to hang it up.

Overall, it’s a pretty nice little exclusive that LEGO has included with their promo and I hope that it continues next year as well. If you missed out on it, the parts are very common minus the 2015 1×2 tile and the cord that LEGO has included. The instructions are below if you want to make your own.

LEGO 2015 Seasonal Exclusive Gingerbread House (40139)

Earlier today, FedEx dropped off a surprise package from LEGO which contains the new LEGO 2015 Seasonal Holiday Exclusive Gingerbread House (40139). The set contains 277 pieces and is obtained starting on Black Friday November 27-November 30 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home with purchases of $99 or more, while supplies last.

November 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you don’t live by a LEGO Store and you collect the LEGO Seasonal sets, the new Christmas ones are now available on Shop@Home including Winter Fun (40124) and Santa’s Visit (40125). Both sets are $9.99 each and they are very popular and usually sell out rather quickly both online and in stores. If you want them, I suggest purchasing them soon. If you haven’t seen yet, I’ve already done reviews of both sets if you want to check them out.
