LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 (71010) - Monsters

There’s finally an official image of the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010) courtesy of Hoth Bricks. We first heard about this rumored set back in January when I was the first to report this series being a Monsters theme. I also noted that this Monsters series would be available in October which seems to be the case.

In this new official image, which looks to be from a catalog, shows four of the minifigures in Series 14: Rocker Monster, Crazy Witch, Skeleton, and Lady Vampire. Of course these names are not the official names because they were loosely translated from a Czech website. Below is the rumored lineup for the Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010). What do you guys think of them? I feel some of the minifigures have a good potential to be army builders.

Mad Scientist
The Fly
Crazy Witch
Gargoyle
Rocker Monster
Lady Vampire
Grim Reaper
Specter/Ghost/Phantom/Spirit
Skeleton Guy/Skeleton
Bigfoot
Tiger Woman
Werewolf
Zombie Pirate Captain
Zombie Cheerleader
Zombie Businessman
Plant Monster/Man-eating Plant

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game – The Lost World: Jurassic Park Playthrough

June 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I recently had some time to play more of LEGO Jurassic World and I was able to complete the story mode for The Lost World: Jurassic Park movie part of the game. I made some changes on how I uploaded the videos to YouTube from Twitch. Instead of just doing a long playthrough and uploading in 15 minute increments, I decided to upload the videos by the different scenes in the game. Again this is just the story mode so I haven’t collected everything I’m supposed to yet until I get to the free play mode which I’ll get to sometime in the future.

Ghostbusters Peter Venkman Minifigure Confirmed for LEGO Dimensions

June 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

A few weeks ago, I reported that there were some new licenses that were announced for LEGO Dimensions including Ghostbusters and Midway Arcades. At E3, it’s been confirmed that we’ll be getting a Ghostbusters Peter Venkman minifigure with a new hair pieces as well as some arm printing with the No Ghost patch. If you have the LEGO Ideas Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108), you would know that the minifigures in that set do not have any arm printing so it’s nice to see that the LEGO Dimensions version will have some. We’ll see in the near future if the other Ghostbusters members will also be included in Dimensions as well as the rumored Slimer minifigure.

Also check out IGN’s interview with Jon Katz from WB Interactive Entertainment and Mark Warburton from TT Games to see Peter in action in LEGO Dimensions.

LEGO Dimensions Star Wars Theme Not Happening Ever (No Surprise)

June 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Earlier today, Disney vice president of of production John Vignocchi did an interview with IGN at E3 and he was asked if Star Wars was ever going to be in LEGO Dimensions and not surprisingly, the answer was an adamant no.

Don’t count on it.

Since Star Wars was announced to be released on Infinity 3.0 yesterday, it was pretty much guaranteed that the theme would not be coming to LEGO Dimensions. Vignocchi notes that “introducing Star Wars to LEGO Dimensions would cannibalize the Disney Infinity business. Good for everyone except Disney Infinity.” I pretty much said the same thing in April when I was speculating on possible LEGO Dimensions themes. Vignocchi also stated that the licensees of Infinity don’t want to mix franchises which is pretty much what LEGO Dimensions is doing.

With the exclusion of Star Wars as a theme for LEGO Dimensions, I really don’t see fans being that disappointed because Dimensions is already filled with many different characters from a lot of themes including some new ones like Portal 2, Wizard of Oz, and Doctor Who.

There have been readers who have asked the same question about Marvel being in LEGO Dimensions and the answer will probably be the same as Star Wars since Disney owns them as well.

You can now pre-order some of the new LEGO Dimensions expansion packs that were recently revealed but got official images today. There are also descriptions of what is included in the sets. They all have a September 27 release date which is the same day LEGO Dimensions itself launches. This means we don’t have to wait to get that coveted LEGO Chell Portal minifigure.
