September 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last year around this time, it was reported that local costume company, Disguise had announced they were partnering up with LEGO to produce official Halloween costumes in a multi-year deal. We got a sneak peek at some of the costumes at the New York Toy Fair but now you can already find them in stores such as Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, K-Mart, and Spirit Halloween costume shops.

The nice folks over at Disguise has sent over a press kit with their official press release from a few days ago as well as some product images. They’ve also sent over a review copy of the LEGO Ninjago Lloyd Prestige Costume so I’ll be review that soon. Check out the full press release and images below.

LEGOLAND California Expanding in 2017

September 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Earlier today, LEGOLAND California announced the park will be expanding next year and in the next few years. The first thing that was announced by General Manager Peter Ronchetti was that the LEGOLAND Hotel will be having LEGO Ninjago themed rooms which will open in Spring 2017.

Speaking of the themed rooms, the Kingdom themed rooms at the hotel have become so popular that LEGOLAND will be building a new LEGO Castle Hotel. Construction will begin next year and will open in 2019 in front of the Sea Life Aquarium.

Probably the biggest news of the day, at least for me, is the expansion of the LEGO Star Wars Miniland. Opening in March 2017 just ahead of Star Wars Days, the area will have a new area for Episode VII: The Force Awakens. There will be six scenes from the first 30 minutes of the film including Kylo Ren’s capture of Poe Dameron at Jakku, Rey’s rescue of BB-8, and Poe and Finn’s escape from the Star Destroyer Finalizer. With an expansion at a limited space, The Force Awakens area will be replacing the Clone Wars Christophsis scene.

Finally, the water park will also be expanding with a new area called Surfer’s Bay. There will be a water slide with six lanes going 17 feet high and more than 100 feet of track. There will also be an area where water is sprayed up from the ground where kids can run through called the “spray ground.”

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Elves’ Workshop (40205) Image

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

Jason from BrickVibe has somehow gotten a hold of the LEGO Seasonal Thanksgiving Pilgrim (40204) set and on the back of the instructions is an image of the Christmas set which looks a like an Elves’ Workshop (40205). The set features two elves working on building some toys. There’s no piece count given but it’s safe to say that it will retail for $9.99 like with the other LEGO Seasonal sets. The Toy Workshop (40205) will probably be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home starting in November.

LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) and Star Wars Death Star (75159) Now Available for VIPs

September 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The holiday season is slowly creeping up and to kick it off, the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) is now available for VIP members on Shop@Home and at LEGO Brand Stores. The set contains 734 pieces and retails for $99.99.

Unlike last year when LEGO released the Winter Toy Shop (10249), a lot of people were upset that it was basically just a re-release of a previous set however, the Winter Holiday Train is not a copy of the 10173 set from 2006. This set also has 16 curved train tracks included so you can create a whole circle. You can also motorize the train with Power Functions but they are not included with the set.

The other set is that available for VIPs today is the LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75159). This version of the Death Star has similar features to the previous 10188 version but has slight updates and a couple of new minifigures. Although a lot of Star Wars fans may not like it because it’s pretty much a rehash of the old one, it is geared towards fans who have just started collecting LEGO Star Wars and missed out on the previous version which was recently retired. The Death Star (75159) will have 4,016 pieces and retail for $499.99.

One thing to note is that there aren’t any worthwhile promotions going on at this month so if you can hold off until October, you can get Double VIP points plus the Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) with the … Continue
