LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) Revealed

November 3, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Yesterday I reported on the December 2017 LEGO Store Calendar and probably the most interesting promotion for the month is the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376). It will be available from December 15 – January 14, 2018 with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $60 or more, while supplies last.

The Darth Vader Pod continues the series of pods that have been released or will be released this year including the Batman Battle Pod (4929), Nexo Knights Armor Pod (5004914), The LEGO Ninjago Movie Kai’s Dojo Pod (5004916), and Friends Ski Pod (5004920). The latter two Pods are available at Toys R Us. Unlike the other pods in which you can purchase individually, the Darth Vader Pod most likely won’t be unless Toys R Us carries it late next year.

The LEGO Trademark Now Recognized as a Well-Known Trademark in China

November 1, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

Back in September 2016, The LEGO Company started their legal battle against companies that produced knockoff sets. In what appears to be a landmark victory and a first step to take on counterfeiters, The LEGO Group has announced that the LEGO logo and name is now a “well-known” trademark in China meaning that it can now take action against companies that infringe on the trademark.

The Beijing Higher Court passed a ruling earlier this year [July 22, 2017] that recognises the LEGO® logo and the LEGO name in Chinese as ’well-known’ trademarks in China. The well-known trademark recognition is an important milestone in getting broader protection for LEGO trademarks in China. This means that the LEGO Group is now in a better position to act against infringement of LEGO trademarks, also outside the toy category.

Peter Thorslund Kjær, Vice President, Legal Affairs in the LEGO Group, said: “The ruling by the Beijing Higher Court is very important for the LEGO Group.
