June 5, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

LEGO DFB German National Football Team Minifigure Series (71014)

Less than a month after the release of the LEGO DFB – The Mannschaft Minifigure Series (71014), it is now completely sold out and LEGO will not be producing any more. If you didn’t know, they were only available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as well as on Shop@Home Europe. The only way now to get them is probably through eBay or BrickLink unless you know someone that was able to get them. If you were one of the lucky ones that was able to get them, consider yourself pretty lucky as there was a very limited run of these minifigures.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game Character Vignettes

June 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The past few weeks Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released short character vignettes of some of the playable characters in the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game. So far, they have released videos of Poe Dameron, Finn, and BB-8 which shows off some of the in-game scenes and gameplay. The game also features original dialogue by the actors so it’s not just a straight-on movie port over.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Video Game will be available in just a few short weeks on June 28 and if you get the Season Pass, you’ll be getting a lot of additional content along with the game. If you haven’t checked out what will be included, head on over to my other post.

I’m guessing WB will be continuing to release videos of more playable characters so I’ll update this post as they come out.

LEGO Star Wars Rebel A-Wing Pilot (5004408) Available at LEGOLAND California as Star Wars Days Promo

June 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A couple of weeks back, it was revealed that there was a new LEGO Star Wars Rebel A-Wing Pilot (5004408) minifigure polybag. There was no details on how to obtain it until today. My friend John was at LEGOLAND California today for Star Wars Days and one of the promotions in the shop was a free gift with purchase of $30 or more on any LEGO products which was the Rebel A-Wing Pilot.

As of this point, this weekend is the only way to obtain the minifigure that I know of so if you know any people who live close by to LEGOLAND California, you may want to ask them to pick it up for you. I’ll let you guys know if this polybag will be available anywhere else.

LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) Polybag Revealed

June 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

Earlier today, Brickset uploaded an image of a new LEGO Creator London Bus (40220) polybag which features a double decker bus. There’s no word on how to obtain the polybag at this point as there is nothing listed on the LEGO Store calendar for July. We’ll have to wait and see if it is part of an August promo or not since the it goes great with the upcoming LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253) which will be releasing mid-June for VIPs and to the general public on July 1.

We’ll also have to see if this is a regional set or not as it does feature something prominent from the UK and we usually don’t get stuff like that here in the US. If it is, you can always build your own with the instructions but you’ll be missing the stickers for the advertisements on the sides of the bus.

LEGO Issues Official Statement Regarding Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) Instructions

June 1, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

LEGO has released an official statement in the LAN regarding the gear instruction issue for the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A few other reviews out there have expressed concern that the gears weren’t shifting in the correct order. If you read the statement below, LEGO did take this point into consideration and decided that the way that it was built in the instructions gave more of a smoother experience but that’s up for the individual builders to decide which way to build it.

Thank you to all our dedicated fans for the comments regarding the GT3 RS by LEGO Technic.

It is correct that the gears in this model are not sequential as in the real Porsche PDK. This is however, a deliberate decision taken to ensure that we make the best possible LEGO version of this amazing car that both meets our design requirements and gives everyone a great building and product experience.

It was a considered decision taken during development that the gears running in the correct order meant that it did not result in a great experience when driving the car. Too many gears are engaged at the same time and smooth running with all those tolerances is just not possible.

If you switch the build in steps 267 and 269 the gears will run sequentially, and everyone who feels that this is the better solution should feel encouraged to do so.

LEGO Technic really is the ultimate open source design product and now that it is finally available, we
