LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Following after my review of the LEGO Architecture United States Capitol Building (21030), I have the other summer 2016 release set with the Buckingham Palace (21029). Coming in at 780 pieces while retailing for $49.99, it has a $0.06/piece ratio but that may be a little misleading which I’ll get to a little later. The contents of the box include five un-numbered bags, three loose 8×16 plates, and the instruction booklet.
If you saw my report the potential LEGO D2C sets retiring, you would have seen that the LEGO Creator Sydney Opera House (10234) was on the list. Currently, Amazon has it on sale for 247.98 which is 23% off the regular price. If you’ve been holding off on picking up this set, now is a pretty good time to pick it up.
There are now official images of the two LEGO Seasonal Christmas 2016 sets with the Elves’ Workshop (40205) and Santa Claus (40206). Like with the rest of the Seasonal sets for this year, they have the weird design of the characters which may or may not be your cup of tea. Both sets will be available starting on November 1 at $9.99 each.
There are now official images of the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Toy Soldier Ornament (5004420) that have been uploaded to LEGO’s servers. We first saw an image of it a few months ago but didn’t know how to acquire it until the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar was revealed. You can get it next starting November 1 at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home with purchases of $50 or more, while supplies last.
LEGO continues the tradition of releasing these ornaments as a promotional gift for 2016. In 2014, they released the Train (5002813) while 2015 had the Christmas Tree (5003083). Both of the previous sets had exclusive printed tiles of the years. The official images for the Toy Soldier doesn’t show a tile for 2016 but hopefully, it’ll be on the back of the build which we can’t see at the moment.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released another video in their LEGO Dimensions “Meet That Hero” series. In this video, it features Marceline from her Adventure Time Fun Pack (71285) and Gizmo and Stripe from the Gremlins Team Pack (71256). Marceline tells us about the three rules for Gizmo which you should know if you’ve seen the movies.
The Gremlins Team Pack also includes Gizmo’s R.C. Racer and the Flash ‘n’ Finish camera. The expansion packs along with the other ones in Wave 7 will be available on November 18.
Ript Apparel is still churning out LEGO themed t-shirts and today they have one based on The LEGO Movie. The shirt features Benny with the caption “We Can Build A Spaceship!!!” which is a parody of the famous propaganda poster. As of this post, there are about 11 hours left to purchase it. T-shirts start at $11 and the ship date is scheduled for early next week.
If you want to be one of the first people to own the 10th anniversary modular set with the LEGO Creator Assembly Square (10255), LEGO ReBrick has announced a new building contest for a chance to win one. From now until November 29, 2016, expand your favorite modular building by building a new room for it. If you don’t own the modular building you want to build for, don’t fret because you don’t actually have to own the set. You just have to state in the description of which building you’re creating the interior for.
For being the grand prize winner, LEGO has provided some very nice sets as prizes. On top of the 10th anniversary Assembly Square (10255), you’ll also be getting the Pet Shop (10218), Parisian Restaurant (10243), Detective’s Office (10246), Palace Cinema (10232), and the Brick Bank (10251). That’s right! One winner will be getting a total of six sets for creating the best interior for a modular building. Check out the full rules in the link above.
