LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253) Officially Announced

May 19, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

LEGO has officially announced the next direct-to-consumer set with the next landmark-type set with the LEGO Creator Big Ben (10253). Some of you may already saw this leaked out yesterday ahead of the embargo which was very disappointing for those who decided to follow the rules.

Anyways, Big Ben consists of 4,163 pieces and will retail for $249.99 which is a heck of a deal considering how many pieces it has compared to the price. Big Ben will become the 5th largest set that LEGO has produced and the second set this year to make that list with the Ghostbusters Firehouse (75827) being released earlier this year. It is on scale with the Tower Bridge (10214) so if you have that set, you can display it next to each other.

LEGO VIPs will have early access to the set starting on June 15 and to the general public on July 1. Check out the press release and more high-quality images below.

10253 Big Ben
Ages 16+. 4,163 pieces.
US $249.99 – CA $299.99 – DE 219.99€ – UK £169.99 – DK 1999.00 DKK
*Euro pricing varies by country. Please visit shop.LEGO.com for regional pricing.

May 18, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

It’s been a few weeks since Captain America: Civil War has been released so I think it’s about time to do some reviews on the LEGO Marvel Super Heores sets based on the movie. The first set is the Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050). It consists of 179 pieces and retails for $19.99. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, the instructions, a sticker sheet, and a comic. Warning, there will be spoilers in these reviews so if you haven’t watched the movie yet, I would avoid reading any further.
