LEGO Dimensions Sued for Patent Infringement

March 24, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Here’s something that’s interesting coming out of the LEGO Dimensions subreddit. Apparently a company called FigureFun LLC is suing LEGO and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for patent infringement. The company states two patents, 7,001,276 and 7,338,377, are infringing on their rights and are seeking damages.

Users in the subreddit quickly debunked that FigureFun is using a practice called patent trolling. This is when a company obtains the rights to patents to make a profit from licensing or through the courts which is what is happening here.

According to public records, FigureFun LLC was set up on April 4, 2016, a whole year after LEGO Dimensions was introduced so this lawsuit is coming in pretty late. It’ll be interesting to see the outcome of this lawsuit, if any.

You can read up on the whole lawsuit here.

March 23, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, LEGO revealed the new LEGO Speed Champions McLaren 720s (75880) and there are now official images of the set. There are some slight differences between these images and the ones from before. The McLaren 720s itself seems to be the same however the designer minifigure’s hair is different.

LEGO design manager Craig Callum did an interview with Top Gear and he gave some details about the set as well as the LEGO Speed Champions theme.

The McLaren 720S (75880) will be available later this year for probably $14.99, similar to the other single vehicle sets.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Rumored to be Costume Party Theme

March 22, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

LEGO news has been really quiet the past few weeks or so but here’s something about the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures that may interest you. A user on Eurobricks has stated that Series 18 could be another themed-based set with it being a “Costume Party.”

We’ve gotten a plethora of costumed LEGO minifigures in the past which have proven to be very popular with collectors like the Banana Guy, Shark Suit Guy, and Hot Dog Man, just to name a few. If the rumor is true, hopefully we see some designs that aren’t based off of previous minifigure costumes.

What do you guys think of the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures being all costume based? Let us know in the comments below.
