LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159) Preview

August 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

We already know that the not-so-secret LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75159) will be coming next month as a VIP early access set. There are now non-leaked images of the set coming out of the Arundel Mills LEGO Brand Store in Maryland with an employee building the set in full view in front of customers.

While we wait for LEGO to send over the official details of the Death Star, we can see that it’s pretty much the recently retired Death Star (10188) but with small updates. For those who missed out on the previous set, you can now get this new version with updated minifigures being one of the highlights.

We should be getting the official announcement in a few days but rumor has it that the set will go for $499.99. Sound off in the comments below of what you think of the set.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Toys R Us Captain America Instructions

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes TRU Captain America

Earlier today, there was a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes building event at Toys R Us stores around the US. The model for this event was a 72-piece Captain America mosaic. My friend Charlie has sent over a scan of the instructions for the build. Although it looks like tile pieces were used for the event, they were actually standard bricks so it’ll be pretty easy to make your own if you have the parts.

The Lovelace & Babbage project by Stewart Cromar, aka stubot, is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. If you’re just looking at the image and are not familiar with the names, you may be wondering what it is about but if you are familiar with the names, you’ll know that this project is a science-based project based on the Analytical Engine, a mechanical general-purpose computer.

Lovelace & Babbage barely sneaks into the Second 2016 Review Stage and it now joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe, Spaceballs – Eagle 5, The Addams Family Mansion, the Merchant’s House, the Large Hadron Collider, LEGO Observatory – Mountain View, Modular Construction Site, the Women of NASA, Star Wars UCS X34 Landspeeder, and Lamborghini Veneno Roadster as the projects that qualify for the Review Stage.

LEGO Ideas Pop-Up Book

August 26, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I rarely post about LEGO Ideas projects as I get so many request to feature a particular one but this Pop-Up Book by Jason Allemann and Grant Davis has really caught my eye. It is a very original idea that I haven’t seen much before of on LEGO Ideas. The book has a simple mechanism that uses Technic beams to make the scene to rise up from the book just like the pop-up books you may have read before as a child. As you can see from the video below, the scenes can be easily changed to your liking and they have shown off a couple of scenes with the cottage, western building, and a castle.

If you see what you like and would think this project would make a great official LEGO set, head over to LEGO Ideas to show your support.

If you’re looking for some extra storage for your LEGO parts, Amazon, as of this writing, has a sale going on for their 64-drawer Akro-Mils cabinet for $25.97 which is 39% off the normal price. Akro-Mils and Stack-On cabinets are some of the more popular storage options but currently Akro-Mils has a slightly better drawer/price ratio.

LEGO builder Tom Alphin made a post a few years ago regarding his storage system and he also uses the same Akro-Mils 64 Drawer which is currently on sale. In addition, the Akro-Mils 24 Drawer cabinet is at $19.97 which is 51% off the list price.

A short while ago, Jason over at BrickVibe sent over an image of the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving Pilgrim (40204) set which comes on the back of the booklet of the Halloween Vampire (40203) set. There’s no official name for the set yet but as you can see above, you have a fairly chubby pilgrim munching on a couple of drumsticks, possibly of the turkey variety. If history repeats itself, the Pilgram (40204) will be available starting in October and will retail for $9.99.

LEGO Ninjago Short to be Shown Before Storks

August 25, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Earlier today, The Hollywood Reporter has released some information regarding next year’s The LEGO Ninjago Movie. If you’re going to watch the Storks next month, there will be a five-minute animated short shown in the beginning for Ninjago called The Master: A LEGO Ninjago Short. It will feature Jackie Chan as Master Wu who “gets into a conflict with Chicken” voiced by Abbi Jacobson while the short will be narrated by Justin Theroux.

If you remember, the cast of The LEGO Ninjago Movie was announced a few weeks ago with some big name actors/actresses including Chan, Jacobson, and Theroux, among others. Jacobson will also be voicing Nya while Theroux will be voicing Garmadon. The LEGO Ninjago Movie itself will open on September 22, 2017 and it is rumored there will be LEGO Ninjago Movie sets as well as a Collectible Minifigures line to be released in conjunction.
