LEGO 2016 Official Set Images (Partial)

October 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 36 Comments

I’m not sure how long these will stay up but Bothan spies (whung, CM4sci, J2G) over on Eurobricks has found a slew of LEGO 2016 set images found on LEGO’s servers already. Note that these images are official and do not have watermarks but LEGO can decide to remove them from the servers at any time. Some of the images are system sets while some are promotional or polybag sets. What sets are you looking forward to?

Update: LEGO has taken down all their links on their server but the good folks at Brickset had them backed up.

Update 2: LEGO has begun telling sites to remove the images so I’ve complied to their wish. If you’re looking for them, they’re still out there on the web. You just have to find them.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Toys R Us X-Wing Building Event

October 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday, I talked about some of the upcoming building events for October. Hoth Bricks has found a new Toys R Us building event for a mini LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens X-Wing Fighter. This event will be held on Saturday, November 14 from 12-2pm. This X-Wing is Poe Dameron’s version and is slightly different from previous X-Wings we’ve seen from Toys R Us. Mark your calendars because I expect this building event to be very popular ahead of the release of The Force Awakens in December.

LEGO Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones Collectible Poster Promotion

September 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones free collectible poster promotion is now available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. You can get a free poster for any LEGO Star Wars purchase you make which also works on keychains. If you’ve been collecting these posters, you’ll know this is the fifth poster and there’s only one left after this in October. Like with the other poster, these do come prefolded which is a bummer. The promo ends Sunday, September 27.

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Buildable Figure (75111) Review

September 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker & Darth Vader 2-in-1 Battle Pack (66536)

Earlier this year, LEGO announced that they would be releasing a new wave of LEGO Star Wars Buildable Figures. Although I’m not that into the Contstraction sets, I do love Star Wars and this news raised my interest in these sets. They are separately available for purchase but Toys R Us has a special 2-in-1 Battle Pack (66536) which includes both Luke Skywalker (75110) and Darth Vader (75111).

For this review, I’ll be taking a look at one of the most iconic movie characters of all time with Darth Vader. The TRU Battle Pack has 243 pieces and retails for $49.99 but Darth Vader himself consists of 160 pieces and retails for $29.99. One thing you may notice is the high price for the amount of pieces you get but I feel it’s comparable to what you get with the LEGO BIONICLE sets especially for a licensed theme like Star Wars. The contents of the box includes three un-numbered bags, a bagged cape, and the instruction booklet.

As shown on the box, Vader is from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where he is dueling Luke Skywalker which you can recreate with this Battle Pack or if you got the figures separately.

Build

I’m not that familiar with Constraction sets so I’m not sure where the builds start from but with Vader, the build starts at the torso. At first glance, you probably can’t tell what you’re building until the middle of instructions when the torso is completed and the armor pieces go … Continue

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey’s Speeder (75099) Review

September 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

In my second review of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets, I have the smallest set in the initial wave, Rey’s Speeder (75099). We first saw a clear shot of the vehicle in the teaser trailer last year and LEGO has decided to include it in this wave. The set contains 193 pieces and retails for $19.99 which isn’t a bad price point. The contents of the box include two numbered bags and an instruction booklet.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon (75105) Review

September 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Last week on Force Friday, LEGO released the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets to the public. Let’s hit the set reviews off with a bang and do the biggest set in the wave first, the Millennium Falcon (75105). Everyone was excited when the Falcon showed up in the first teaser trailer and we knew it was coming back for Episode VII. Of course, LEGO had to update the 2011 (7965) version so it’ll correspond to the one in the upcoming movie. The new Millennium Falcon (75105) has 1329 pieces and retails for $149.99. There are ten numbered bags, one un-numbered bag of plates, and a bagged instruction booklet with sticker sheet. Be warned, there may be some speculation and minor spoilers in The Force Awakens LEGO set reviews.
