LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack 853609/853610 Official Images

August 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in July, LEGO announced they will be releasing some new exclusive LEGO Minecraft Skin Packs in September. There are now official images of the two Skin Packs and we get to see a closer look at them. Each Skin Pack comes with four minifigures as well as their own accessories along with some items for your Minecraft world.

The first one is Skin Pack (853609) and it contains some characters in various outfits such as someone in a Creeper costume. The second Skin Pack (853610) is more of a sci-fi pack with some alien robot minifigure along with some minifigures that look like they’re from Star Wars.

I believe these two LEGO Minecraft Skin Pack will be available starting on September 1 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. There’s no mentioning of the pricing but I assume they will go for at least $14.99 for each pack.

August 21, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

The Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder by Psyence- is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The Landspeeder is based on Luke’s vehicle in A New Hope and this version hopes to become a set to be sold under the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Series tag as there hasn’t been one before. As we all know, these larger projects added with an existing license usually don’t make it far in the Review Stage but we’ll see if this one is able to pass it.

The Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder now joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, The Addams Family Mansion, the Merchant’s House, the Large Hadron Collider, LEGO Observatory – Mountain View, Modular Construction Site, and the Women of NASA as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

If you missed out on the LEGO Disney Princess building event at LEGO Stores last week which you had to register for, we now have some building instructions for the Belle’s Castle mini build. My good friend John has sent over some instruction scans of the build which looks pretty nice when completed. If you have the parts, you can now create your own mini Belle’s Castle.

These special building events are listed on the LEGO Store Calendars for the months that have them and I usually highlight them when the monthly calendars become available so you have to keep your eyes peeled.
