Disney Finalizes Deal to Acquire 21st Century Fox

December 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

One of the big news today is that Disney has officially announced that the company will acquire 21st Century Fox for $52.4 billion. This acquisition means that certain franchises will return to Marvel including X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool. Disney will also acquire other entertainment properties like The Simpsons.

Now that the deal has been finalized, LEGO fans can now start speculating about what potential LEGO sets we could see in the future. Obviously, there’s the X-Men and Fantastic Four but we also get a ton of other characters that could we finally get to see in LEGO form like Galactus, Silver Surfer, and Doctor Doom. And obviously fans want to see more Deadpool stuff but that’s iffy since it’s a rated-R property and still be that way according to Bob Iger.

Furthermore, The Simpsons are now also under the Disney umbrella which also could make a return as a LEGO theme. We’ve gotten a few LEGO sets for them already like The Simpsons House (71006) and The Kwik-E-Mart (71016) as well as two waves of Collectible Minifigures. Maybe this Disney/Fox deal can help kickstart negotiations for another Simpsons licensing agreement to produce more sets.

We don’t know what goes behind closed doors for LEGO licensing deals for certain properties but it’s fun to guess what we could possibly get in the future. What do you guys want to see as LEGO sets that are part of the Disney announcement today?

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 13

December 13, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re past the halfway point on the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) and for today we have something that is very synonymous with the holiday. Today’s build is a little snowman but not all of it because it’s just the head. It uses the 1×1 modified bricks to achieve the spherical SNOT look of the snowman head. The 1×1 round eye tiles are fine and it also uses an orange cone for the nose however there is no mouth. For the hat, it uses a black 2×2 round profile brick but to me, it looks more like it has a hi-top fade hairstyle.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 12

December 12, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing with today’s build for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), we have a model that I don’t recognize as something that goes with the holiday. For this build, we have a little biplane. The main color scheme is white and red with some black in the front and back. The only thing I don’t like about it is the rudder because of the way it’s angled. The biplane could represent a toy given as a gift.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 11

With all the news today, there was almost no time for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253). For today’s build, we have a little cabin decorated with lights in the front. The build also makes uses of the ice cream piece again to represent the smoke coming out of the chimmney. The cabin sits on top of a 4×4 white plate for the snow and it even uses some white cheese slopes for the snow on the roof.
