Regarding LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Set Images

August 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

For the past couple of days, there has been a disturbance in the force regarding the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens set images. I have been getting a ton of emails of people notifying me about the official images being released. Yes, I have seen them and they look great. Some have also wondered why I haven’t posted any of the images. The reason is that we’re “supposed” to be under an embargo and are not allowed to post them. When those images came out, I emailed the LEGO CEE Team and wanted to confirm that we shouldn’t post them. Their response was simply. “Yes, the embargo remains.”

There have been quite a few big name sites that did post them which may make it seem that it would be okay to but I won’t be following in those footsteps. The reason is because I’m one of the newer members of the LEGO Ambassador Network and don’t want to jeopardize my working relationship with The LEGO Group just because of a couple of images. There was an request/agreement back in June to not post any of the TFA sets until we were allowed to and I will be sticking to that agreement.

Yes, this is big news and we’ve been waiting a long time for these TFA images but I’m pretty sure LEGO didn’t want them to be released this way. I am not looking for page views and whatnot. Just because some some sites have posted them doesn’t mean that I should. If this … Continue

LEGO 2016 Set Name Listings on Amazon.de

August 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today Amazon.de has upload a ton of listings for various upcoming LEGO 2016 sets. There were many posts on Eurobricks on these listings but I’ve organized them alphabetically by theme. Thanks to CM4sci for the heads up. The set names are loosely translated from German so they might not be the official names but they give you an idea of what the sets are. This list does correspond to the list that came out a few days ago.

Update: LEGO has asked sites to remove the list. Amazon.de messed up and accidentally posted it just a little bit too early. Sorry folks.

Possible LEGO 2016 Set List?

July 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

An interesting list popped up over on BrickPicker that could be a potential list of the first-half 2016 LEGO sets for various themes. This list does correspond to earlier rumors of some City and Ninjago sets for next year. The list was scrambled when I looked at it so I tried to organize it into separate themes. If you look closely, there could be a hint to what the next modular set could be. Keep in mind this isn’t an official list.

There will be four total LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs, one hero and villain for The Force Awakens and the other two for the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront game featuring the Empire and Rebels.

If that’s not enough, the second wave of LEGO Star Wars Battle Figures will be available, one of which is the First Order Stormtrooper which was revealed during SDCC.

Finally, there will be some sets based on the Original Trilogy and the Prequels: Hoth Attack, Bespin Carbon Freezing Chamber, Droid Escape Pod, Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan’s Jedi Interceptor.

LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy Preview Images

July 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The official Star Wars website has given everyone a closer look into Vesa Lehtimäki’s newest book by DK Publishing, LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy. I’ve talked about it a little bit before but we now get to see some preview pages and what we can expect from the book. You can now pre-order the book on Amazon and it will be released on November 10th.

LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son’s favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga in an exciting new way.

Upcoming LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base Confirmed?

July 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

To further speculate that LEGO will be releasing a new LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base set in a few months, there’s a listing in Brickset’s database that may have just confirmed the set. There’s a direct-2-consumer set listed with set number 75098 which has a recommended retail price of $249.99. The dimensions of the box are also listed at 22.9 x 18.9 x 3.6 inches which is the same size as the Ewok Village (10236). That set had 1990 pieces so I’m thinking that the Hoth Echo Base will have around the same number of pieces.

If you haven’t watched the LEGO Star Wars mini movie that could be a teaser for the set, you can check it out over on the minisite. Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.
