Better Look at LEGO 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) Set

December 1, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

We now have a better a better look at the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) set courtesy of the January 2018 LEGO Store Calendar. We now know that it will be available from January 28 – February 14 here in the US giving you over two weeks to get your hands on it. You can get it for free with a purchase of $125 or more, while supplies last. I’m sure that this set will go very quickly as this is one of the best promotional items that LEGO has released in recent years.

Unlike the previous widely released individual homage promotional sets like the Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812), Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082), and Classic Knights Minifigure (5004419) which used minifigures along with small builds, this new set focuses more on actual sets that LEGO has released in the past. The themes are focused in this set are Town, Castle, Pirates, and Space and the builds are based on the Airport Shuttle (6399), Castle (375), Black Seas Barracuda (6285), and Space Cruiser And Moonbase (928). With 421 pieces, there’s enough to have all four micro builds built at the same time without taking the other ones apart.

The 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) set is way better than the Building Bigger Thinking theme that we’ll be getting next year that also celebrates the anniversary of the brick. As I mentioned before, fans will definitely want to pick it up and I have a feeling that it will sell out … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 1

December 1, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

For the first half of last month, you could’ve gotten a free LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) set with purchases of $99 or more. I intentionially waited to do my review on it until we got to December because it fit more with the month. For the 2017 set, it has 254 pieces as compared to 250 from 2016.

The set comes with four un-numbered bags of parts along with a decent sized instruction booklet. There are 24 different individual builds and the idea for this set is to build the item for each day and then take apart for the next day. It may seem a little tedious but younger kids may enjoy it.

The first day of the Christmas Build Up (40253) is a nice looking pirate ship. There’s no intersting building techniques to it but the parts usage is on point. I do like how the sails are held up using the modified 1×2 plate. The ship isn’t holiday related but it’s a good nonetheless.

Ranking the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) to Previous Modulars

November 30, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Now that the dust has settled down on the announcement of the newest modular building, the LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260), let’s talk about how it matches up with the existing modulars. Many fans like the 50’s style of the building while some didn’t like how it looked as it doesn’t match up with the architectural styles of the previous buildings. Another complaint I’ve seen is the use of expressive faces the minifigures will have compared to the traditional classic smiley faces.

Compared to the previous modular buildings LEGO has released so far, how would you rank the new Downtown Diner (10260)?
