Blokpod Sorting and Storage Solution Review

Blokpod Sorting and Storage

A few years ago, LEGO released the Sort and Store (5001125) which was shaped like a minifigure head that allows you to shake the head to sort your bricks. This allows you to theorically sort your large, medium, and small bricks into their respective trays.

After about a year on the market, the LEGO Sort and Store was retired and no official LEGO product has had that feature since. Since then a fairly new third-party company called Blokpod has released a new product that has a similar design and use as the Sort and Store. However there are some differences between the two. First is the transparent case. You can actually see your bricks and how they get sorted when you shake it. Another difference is that it is larger and contains four compartments for even more storage capacity.

Blokpod Sorting and Storage

With Blokpod, you remove the trays by turning them clockwise instead of anticlockwise as the instructions say and vice versa to lock them in place. The plastic is pretty stiff when you first use it but they loosen up once you open it up more. They are modular so you can add more or less to your liking.

Blokpod Sorting and Storage

Again, the premise of the Blokpod is the same as the old Sort and Store. You pour in your bricks and at the top and give it a good shake. The smallest pieces theoretically are supposed to fall to the bottom while larger pieces are supposed to stay in the higher levels. As you can see, some of the … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) Cancelled From Shop@Home Orders

LEGO Shop@Home Iconic Easter

For some reason, the recently released LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) has been rather popular among LEGO fans. If you followed my post this past weekend, Shop@Home North America had an unannounced promotion for the Chicken Suit Guy Minifigure for only a few hours while supplies lasted. Those who placed an order for it during that short period of time would have potentially gotten one as it was a nice incentive to make a purchase. That’s until the last couple of days when people, including me, started getting emails that the Iconic Easter Minifigure has exceeded LEGO’s expectations and were no long available and thus being cancelled from the order.

I have a feeling that this piece of news may upset a lot of people who were affected and were looking forward to getting the set. If you’re still looking for it, your local Toys R Us store might still have them in stock. The last time I checked at my store, they were up at guest services behind the counter but that may vary with your store. The item number is #648866.

Were any of you affected because of the cancellation?

LEGO Dimensions Midway Arcade Gamer Level Pack (71235)

Wave 4 of the LEGO Dimensions expansion packs are now available for purchase including the Midway Arcade Gamer Level Pack (71235), the Ghostbusters Fun Pack (71233), the Superman Fun Pack (71236), and the Aquaman Fun Pack (71237). These new packs allow you to play as those respective characters in the game along with using their abilities to solve various puzzles. The new level pack gives you tons more content which also includes letting you play some classic Midway Arcade games.

Furthermore, we also had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with TT Games Associate Producer Mark Warburton about the Midway Arcade Level Pack a few weeks ago. I took some questions from the readers and Mark graciously took the time to answer them which you can read below.


What was your favorite part of the Midway Arcade Level Pack? (Either the design of the toys or the in-game content)

To be honest I think both go hand in hand. The first time you see the LEGO toys and the fact that a handful of bricks can be rebuilt in to three different vehicles is quite an exciting moment. Then when you see the level itself and all these cool nods to the history of video games finally come together, it’s an amazing experience.

What other objects where considered besides the G-6155 Spy Hunter car and Defender cabinet?

All sorts of things are considered and it’s a lot of fun seeing what items those master builders at LEGO can come up with. … Continue

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batmobile (30446) Polybag Review

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batmobile (30446)

Toys R Us stores here and there have let customers purchase the new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batmobile (30446) polybag based on the vehicle from the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The polybag has 63 pieces and retails for $3.99. The Batmobile is a pretty simple build that has the relative shape of the vehicle and when displayed next to the Batmobile from the Kryptonite Interception (76045), it doesn’t look too bad. None of the parts used exclusive although the red 2X2X2/3 plate is a fairly new piece that been used in mostly larger sets. You can’t see it from the outside so you can probably substitute it with another color.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batmobile (30446)

Again, I found the polybag at my local Toys R Us store. They weren’t in the LEGO section and I had to ask guest services for it because they had to bring it out from the back. If you’re looking for it, ask them to look up item #84232. I didn’t hear anything about it being part of a promotion at this time so I was able to purchase it by itself.
