December 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

December is almost over so it’s time to talk about the LEGO deals and promotions for January 2014. Not only are there promotions, a lot of new sets that we’ve been reporting on the past few months will be available for purchase at LEGO brand stores and on Shop@Home as well as at other major retailers.

From January 1-20, while supplies last, for every purchase of $50 or more, you can get a free LEGO City Police ATV Polybag (30228). During the month of January, LEGO will be heavily promoting The LEGO Movie and they have some promotions for it. Beginning each week of the month, you can get a free poster of some of the characters in the movie including Wyldstyle, Emmet, Lord Business, and Batman. Starting January 20 through February 16, visit your local LEGO store to build something and put it on display to get a free The LEGO Movie Accessory Pack, while supplies last. Finally on January 7, the Monthy Mini Model Build is a Snow Plow.

As mentioned before, there are a lot of new sets from many themes that should be on the shelves including the newest modular set, the Parisian Restaurant (10243) as well as the Maersk Line Triple E (10241). More new sets include the LEGO CUUSOO NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21004) and the Architecture Eiffel Tower (21019). Check out the images of all the new sets in the links below:

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar (75023) Round Up

December 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday we finally completed the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar (75023) with Jango Fett being this year’s Santa. Like with other many other LEGO sets, there are hits and misses with the Advent Calendar.

Hits

There are a couple of builds and minifigures that I liked in the calendar such as the Republic Assault Ship, the AT-TE/Republic Dropship combo, Jedi Starfighter, and Jango’s Slave I. There are also quite a few army-builder minifigures including some fairly rare ones in the redesigned Scout Trooper and the Rebel Commando. Plus you can’t forget the return of young Boba Fett and Santa Jango Fett.

Misses

There weren’t that many things I didn’t like for this year but some little things get repetitive with the calendars. One of those things is the weapons racks. I feel the weapons should be included with the minifigures and those certain days could be used for other builds. Also those Battle Droids keep sneaking in the calendars. They may be great for others but they aren’t really for me.

Results

After comparing this year’s calendar to previous years, in my opinion, it is better than last year but a notch lower than the 2011 version. In number of pieces, the 2013 version has 254 pieces which is right in between the previous years. You may able to find them discounted in stores in the near future if you want to get one.

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar (75023) – Day 24

December 24, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We have now reached the end of the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar (75023). Let’s see who the “surprise” is.

For the final day of this years Advent Calendar, we have Santa Jango Fett. His torso is of his Mandaorian armor but with more appropriate printing on both the front and back. The front has some fur lining on the top, a sprig of holly on the middle, and some small presents on the belt. The back of the torso also has some fur lining printing as well. Jango’s head is the same one as the regular version of the minifigure. His helmet is also the same blue version although I wish it was red instead to match the outfit. He also has a sack on his back with orange and lime presents represented by 1×2 tiles. Overall, Santa Jango Fett is a nice addition to the Star Wars Advent Calendar line joining Santa Yoda and Santa Darth Maul from the previous years. We’ll have a round-up post tomorrow of the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar and give a grade on it. Thank you for following us the past 24 days. Have a very Merry Christmas!

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar Minigame Completed

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar Minigame Bonus Video - Dewback

The final stage of the LEGO Star Wars 2013 Advent Calendar minigame was unlocked today which is the stage of Tatooine. I’ve managed to complete the game with not much effort and after collecting all the ships in the game, you are able to unlock a secret bonus video that promotes the Microfighters sets. At the back end of the video (see below), there is a Sandtrooper patrol riding a Dewback. Does this mean there could be a dewback figure in an upcoming set? We shall see.

Overall, the game itself was pretty fun. It could pose a challenge to kids and maybe adults especially with the spots the items are located at the later stages. If you haven’t played it yet, I recommend taking some time and try it out.
