LEGO Sets Not Retiring in 2020

August 9, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve recently talked about some LEGO sets that are set to be retiring at the end of the year but I’ve also been asked if certain sets will be staying or not. I have some new information about a couple of sets that you don’t have to worry about it going away after 2020. I’ve been told from my source that the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) and The Disney Castle (71040) will not be retired and will be available for the foreseeable future.

Currently The Upside Down is still in stock on LEGO Shop@Home but the Disney Castle has been on backorder status for a while now. Fortunately, LEGO is accepting backorders and it’ll be shipped in 60 days. You can also use the stock check to see if your nearest LEGO Brand Store has it on the shelves.

LEGO Stranger Things SDCC 2019 Barb Minifigure Review

July 19, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today is the second day of San Diego Comic Con 2019 and LEGO’s minifigure giveaway is for the LEGO Stranger Things Barb. The way the giveaway was done was the same as yesterday for the Advanced Suit Spider-Man except for a couple of things. First is that the time changed from 9:30am start time to 8:30am so I’m going to assume it’ll be like that tomorrow as well for the Zebra Batman. Also they added another iPad to make the line go a lot faster and I was out of the line by 9:00.

As for the packaging, it’s the same clamshell style as before. The card features the LEGO Stranger Things logo along with the SDCC 50 years on the bottom left. The back side has an advertisement for The Upside Down (75810).

As you can see above, my card has scribbles all over it. That is because the LEGO designer of The Upside Down, Justin Ramsden, was in town and he had a signing event at the LEGO booth so I headed there to get my signed along with many other fans. My inscription shows, “To The Brick Fan”, along with a speech bubble that says “Help”. All of it including the signature is written upside down.

As for the Barb minifigure itself, she is wearing the pink plaid ruffle shirt that is knotted on the top. The legs are just her blue jeans with some printing of the button and pockets. She has a double-sided head showing her with glasses and having … Continue

LEGO at San Diego Comic Con 2019

July 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2019 is just right around the corner and as usual, LEGO will have a big presence there. Here’s a recap of all the LEGO happenings that will be going on there including panels, exclusives, and giveaways.

One thing to note is that there is no dedicated LEGO Ninjago panel like with previous years but I’m guessing it will be included in the content releases panel. As usual, I’ll be live tweeting it so follow my Twitter to stay updated as things are announced.

LEGO Stranger Things Season 3 Poster Mosaic

July 4, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

To celebrate Season 3 of Stranger Things, LEGO took part in Netflix’s Fun Fair last weekend at the Santa Monica Pier to create a brick-built mosaic of the Season 3 Stranger Things poster. It measures 90 inches tall ad 60 inches wide and it is made from over 56,000 bricks. This massive creation took over 40 hours to design. Check out the timelapse video of the mosaic below. Thank to LEGO for sending it over.

The LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) is now available for purchase on Shop@Home and until July 7, you can earn Double VIP Points on your purchase.

LEGO Stranger Things Castle Byers Review

June 29, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, the LEGO Stranger Things Castle Byers building event was held at LEGO Brand Stores around the US. If you remember, the build was originally at the Flatiron and Leicester flagship stores when The Upside Down (75810) was released.

The build is pretty straightforward with it just stacking bricks. The outer part of it uses some brown antenna pieces to represent the sticks that are on the outside of the castle. There’s a flag for the cloth used as the entrance but the interior is empty. I do like the addition of the tire sitting on the outside of it. The main thing here are the exclusive stickers for Castle Byers and the All Friends Welcome sign. These were given after you finished the build but if you’re building it with your own bricks, there are some available on eBay.

Below is the parts list for Castle Byers as well as updated scans of the building instructions with better color quality. I do appreciate LEGO doing this building event for the rest of the US as many fans were pretty vocal about having it at only two stores around the world. I do feel bad for those who paid $100+ on the secondary market to get it though.
