Exclusive LEGO Lester Minifigure Limited to 275

November 17, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 17 Comments

Earlier today on the other side of the pond, the new LEGO flagship store at Leicester Square opened up and members of the LEGO community were there to attend the pre-opening event. You can read up about the store over on Brickset but I want to focus on the Lester minifigure that was available for the AFOL attendees as well as for shoppers.

As you can see from the image above, there are only 275 LEGO Lester minifigures available which makes it one of the most rare minifigures ever produced. This puts Lester around the same level as the early exclusive San Diego Comic Con LEGO minifigures. Huw reported that the extremely limited number of Lester minifigures produced was because there wasn’t more bowler hat pieces due to it being out of production and whatever was left were used for it.

You still have a chance to win Lester when you make a purchase of £55 or more at the Leicester Square store until November 20 or while supplies last.

Red Dwarf Area Found in LEGO Dimensions

November 16, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Here’s something interesting coming out of Twitter earlier today. LEGO Dimensions designer/writer Joe Moore tweeted out an image of the Red Dwarf area which was found in the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack (71253). As we know, Red Dwarf isn’t an official LEGO license yet, as far was we know, however there was a Red Dwarf project that just hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas just last week.

Does this actually we’ll be getting a Red Dwarf expansion pack in the future? Not necessarily. If you remember from last year, there were stages that included the Jetsons and Flintstones but there weren’t any physical sets that came out of that so this could just be an easter egg like the previous ones.

LEGO Juniors Anna & Elsa's Frozen Playground (10736)

There are now some official winter 2017 LEGO Juniors sets which comes out from Hoth Bricks. The sets use more LEGO licensed themes like DC Comics and Disney as well as some internal themes like Friends.

If you’re new to LEGO and are not familiar with the Juniors line, it’s a transitions theme for kids who have grown out of DUPLO and is an introduction to the standard LEGO bricks.

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204) Review

November 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Thanksgiving is only a week away and to celebrate the holiday, LEGO has released the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204). The set contains 163 pieces and normally retails for $9.99 but you can get it for half off on Shop@Home and at the LEGO Store. The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags and the instructions.

The build is pretty simple and like the set names states, it features a chubby pilgrim stuffing his face with some turkey while sitting on a a pumpkin. The legs are are hinges so they can be separated depending on what sitting position you want him at. The arms are on ball joints and they have a wide range of motion while each hand is holding a turkey drumstick. The head does not move and to me, he has a derpy expression. Some may say he looks creepy but I think it looks fine. One thing to note that the nose uses a 1×1 round tile in tan which is pretty rare since it is only available in two other 2016 sets.

Overall, I think the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204) is one of the better Seasonal sets that LEGO has released this year. Combine that with the lower price the set goes for now, it’s a good one to pick up.
