Brick Generals Custom One Punch Man Saitama LEGO Minifigure Review

March 18, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

A few weeks ago, Brick Generals, formerly known as Brick Bastards started selling a new custom LEGO minifigure named Superhero. If you follow Japanese manga or anime, you would instantly recognize him as Saitama, the protagonist from One Punch Man (ワンパンマン). I never purchase custom minifigures but I knew I had to get it since it’s one of my favorite animes in recent years.

The Superhero is made from 100% LEGO parts including the red boxing gloves as his hands and a white cape. The torso has printing of his yellow jumpsuit while the legs finish off the look. The only thing that I wish it had was red boot printing since he had it in the anime. The head printing is perfect with his rather bland expression but there is some minor smudging on the nose. Otherwise the

The price for the Saitama/Superhero minifigure is SGD 29.90 which ended up to be about $25 with the currency conversion and shipping from Singapore. I think the price isn’t too bad even though there isn’t that much custom printing. Again, you can purchase it from Brick Generals and it took about two weeks from order to delivery.

LEGO Dimensions Ghostbusters Stay Puft Fun Pack (71233) Review

March 17, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO released the newest wave of LEGO Dimensions expansion packs including the Ghostbusters Stay Puft Fun Pack (71233). This Fun Pack contains 65 pieces and normally retails for $14.99 but they’ve been on sale for half off recently.

Minifigure

The minifigure included in the Fun Pack is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man which many LEGO Ghostbusters fans have been waiting for. He’s a pretty simple minifigure but the character is represented perfectly in minifigure form. The torso has the red scarf pattern which could be very nice for other minifigure uses while the head and collar piece is one mold. The head itself is very nice with the little molding details of the chubby face. Finally it comes with the NFC disc that all Dimensions minifigures come with.

Build

The main build for the Fun Pack is the Terror Dog. It does resemble the demonic beast very well even though it is brick-built. The face has the angry look that is accentuated by the red eyes. The head

The first alternate build for the Terror Dog is the Terror Dog Destroyer. It’s almost the same as the regular one but it has two heads.

The last build for the Terror Dog is the Soaring Terror Dog which is a flying version of it that kind of look like a dragon.

Overall, majority of the people who are picking up the Ghostbusters Stay Puft Fun Pack (71233) is for the Stay Puft minifigure because he is exclusive to this set. The Terror … Continue

Blokpod Sorting and Storage Solution Review

March 17, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

A few years ago, LEGO released the Sort and Store (5001125) which was shaped like a minifigure head that allows you to shake the head to sort your bricks. This allows you to theorically sort your large, medium, and small bricks into their respective trays.

After about a year on the market, the LEGO Sort and Store was retired and no official LEGO product has had that feature since. Since then a fairly new third-party company called Blokpod has released a new product that has a similar design and use as the Sort and Store. However there are some differences between the two. First is the transparent case. You can actually see your bricks and how they get sorted when you shake it. Another difference is that it is larger and contains four compartments for even more storage capacity.

With Blokpod, you remove the trays by turning them clockwise instead of anticlockwise as the instructions say and vice versa to lock them in place. The plastic is pretty stiff when you first use it but they loosen up once you open it up more. They are modular so you can add more or less to your liking.

Again, the premise of the Blokpod is the same as the old Sort and Store. You pour in your bricks and at the top and give it a good shake. The smallest pieces theoretically are supposed to fall to the bottom while larger pieces are supposed to stay in the higher levels. As you can see, some of the … Continue

LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) Cancelled From Shop@Home Orders

March 16, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 30 Comments

For some reason, the recently released LEGO Seasonal Iconic Easter (5004468) has been rather popular among LEGO fans. If you followed my post this past weekend, Shop@Home North America had an unannounced promotion for the Chicken Suit Guy Minifigure for only a few hours while supplies lasted. Those who placed an order for it during that short period of time would have potentially gotten one as it was a nice incentive to make a purchase. That’s until the last couple of days when people, including me, started getting emails that the Iconic Easter Minifigure has exceeded LEGO’s expectations and were no long available and thus being cancelled from the order.

I have a feeling that this piece of news may upset a lot of people who were affected and were looking forward to getting the set. If you’re still looking for it, your local Toys R Us store might still have them in stock. The last time I checked at my store, they were up at guest services behind the counter but that may vary with your store. The item number is #648866.

Were any of you affected because of the cancellation?
