LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 6

December 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Throughout the days of the 2017 Christmas Build Up (40253), the builds pretty much have something that revolved around the theme of Christmas but for today’s build, it seems that we’ve jumped into springtime. That’s because the build for today is a ladybug but after doing some research it might be based on the Christmas special for the French animated series, Miraculous Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. Or maybe I’m just trying too hard to find a Christmas connection…

Anyways, the ladybug looks cute especially with the use of the 1×1 round eyelash tiles. There are no legs used but I think it looks fine just the way it is, don’t you think?

LEGO Friends 2018 Design Change Explained

December 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 23 Comments

The 2018 LEGO Friends sets will be coming out in a few weeks and you’ve probably noticed that there are some slight changes to the girls. The LEGO Friends design team in Billund has given an official announcement of why they’ve changed which you can read below.

Every year we strive to innovate and make our products even better for children all over the world. A lot of effort has gone into the development of the LEGO characters and universes across our entire product range, so it makes us very happy when changes are noticed.

LEGO Friends in 2018 looks a bit different than what it has in the past. To be specific, the 5 main characters have a slightly different look but also the city and the citizens of Heartlake City have changed.

But what are the reasons for the change?

Firstly, we want to assure you that all 5 friends are still there in 2018.

Andrea, Mia, Emma, Stephanie and Olivia – they all still exist! Also the character’s main interests and personalities remain mainly unchanged.

What you will see in 2018 is an evolution of LEGO Friends, a progression of the story and characters to make sure children get an even greater play experience. Every year more than a million children and parents reach out to us and share what they love and what they would like to change. In the LEGO Friends range children told us that they would like even more differentiated characters and also suggested improvements to Heartlake City.

Could We See LEGO X-Men and Fantastic Four Sets in the Future?

December 6, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

CNBC is reporting that Disney and Fox are close on a deal for Disney to acquire assets from Fox which include the 20th Century Fox movie studio for about $60 billion. This means that Disney will regain the film rights to all of the Marvel comics characters which include the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

This is some great news that fans have been waiting for but for LEGO fans, this might mean that we could be getting more properies for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets like X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. We’ve gotten LEGO sets here and there from Fox properties like the Mighty Micros: Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073) but the last larger set was the X-Men vs. The Sentinel (76022) way back in 2014.

The Disney/Fox deal, which is expected to be announced next week, possibly opens the door for LEGO to maybe start planning on trying to get some licensing deals with those properties. Fingers crossed for some 90’s style X-Men characters if this deal gets done!

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 5

December 5, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Trucking along my review of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253), today we have something that do don’t see as much of but they have documented for Christmas. Here we have an interesting looking windmill. If you look closely, it resembles some decorative sculptures with the windmill standing prominently in the middle. In the front where the tan cheese slope is at, I believe that’s a house of some sort and some trees in the front and back of the model. Honestly, today’s build is a little random but it doesn’t look too bad if you know what it sort of resembles.

The LEGO Batman Movie Series 2 Collectible Minifigures (71020)

Harley Quinn is ready to burn up the dance floor in her sparkly disco outfit. Well, not literally burn the dance floor. At least we hope not literally. You never know with her.

We knew Alfred was a master at vacuuming rugs, but who new he could also cut a rug! That’s old-fashioned talk for dancing well.

Clock-themed villain Clock King, aka William Tockman, is infamous for his showing-up-to-fights-on-time skills.

Hugo Strange is one of Batman’s oldest and, well, strangest opponents. His only super power is his incredible, yet warped intelligence.

Move over Aquaman. There’s a new guardian of the ocean – Mermaid Batman

There’s nothing better than relaxing with your pet dolphin in your mansion’s giant pool after a long day of crime fighting.

The Joker is always prepared for mischief. Even his vacas include toxic popsicles and laughing gas floaties.

Robin is ready for his first Bat-cation with his new Bat-family.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 4

December 4, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re already a sixth of the way into December and today’s build for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) is something that folks who have snow would be more familiar with. The build for today is a small 10-piece red sled that is big enough to fit a minifigure. Most of it looks nice but I’m not sure what the black modified plate on the back is for. Don’t judge me, I live in southern California where there is literally no snow unless I drive a few hours to the mountains.
