April 7, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

It was just only a few weeks ago when the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Snowspeeder (75144) was officially announced but we’ve managed to get a hold of the set, courtesy of LEGO, and we’re happy to bring you this review of the set. Coming in at 1,703 pieces, the UCS Snowspeeder will retail for $199.99 and will be available starting April 29 for LEGO VIP early access and on May 4 for the general public. The contents of the box include 13 numbered bags, a loose 8×16 plate, a black 8×16 flat tile, and the instruction booklet packaged with the sticker sheet.

More Details of Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon

April 7, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 30 Comments

It looks like there’s more information coming out today that gives more details of the rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. Stash2Sixx over on Eurobricks has reported that it will be at least $600 and it will be released around October. He also has given some info about some of the minifigures that will be included in the set such as Hoth Leia, Hoth Han, Chewbacca, Finn, Rey, BB8, Old Man Han, and possibly a Mynock. These minifigures correspond to the ones my source gave me a few months ago of the original trilogy minifigures.

If you haven’t heard of Stash2Sixx before, they have given correct information before in the past about LEGO Star Wars sets so I consider them be a credible source.

LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures Season Two Trailer

April 3, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The new trailer for season two of LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures has been released. We can see some of the upcoming sets in action in with the Tracker I (75185) and The Arrowhead (75186). The new season introduces a new character called M-OC Hunter Droid which has been unleashed by Emperor Palpatine to find the Freemakers. Season two will premiere this summer on Disney XD and you can check out the trailer below.

At the end of the first season, the Freemaker family found a new home with the rebel fleet. Their new circumstances bring them face to face with brutal Imperial forces, desperate Hutts, conniving Sith Lords, and the Emperor’s latest plaything, M-OC, a terrifying hunter droid who continually modifies himself to fit any occasion. In response to these threats, Rowan’s powers grow and strengthen until he has a vision of a sleek, invulnerable ship that can save the Rebellion and stop the Empire in its tracks – the Arrowhead. The catch is, the Arrowhead is a ship only Rowan can build. Once again, it’s up to the youngest Freemaker to save the galaxy.

Have We Seen the Last of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Exclusive Minifigures?

April 2, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

This year, LEGO will end their six year run of exclusive minifigures for the annual May the 4th promotion with the LEGO Star Wars R2-D2 (30611) polybag as it was confirmed on the May 2017 LEGO Store Calendar. For many collectors, including me, the May the 4th promo is one of the times of the year where we are excited to see what characters we’re going to get as a minifigure that we normally wouldn’t get in a regular set. The Star Wars canon as well as the Expanded Universe is massive and there is an unlimited number of characters that could be turned into buildable characters like R2-D2.

Does this year’s polybag start a new trend for buildable characters for future LEGO May the 4th promotions or do you think this is just a one-off thing for 2017 of LEGO testing the waters for these kind of polybags? Keep in mind, this post is about the May the 4th promotions and not ones that are for other times of the year.

Here’s a list of the May the 4th LEGO minifigures from previous years:

2011: Shadow ARF Trooper (2856197)

2012: TC-14 (5000063)

2013: Hoth Han Solo (5001621)

2014: Darth Revan (5002123)

2015: Admiral Yularen (5002949)

2016: First Order Stormtrooper (30602)
