LEGO Speed Champions Toys R Us June 18 Building Event

Toys R Us has updated their in-store events page and on Saturday, June 18 from 11am-1pm, there will be a LEGO building event. For this one, it will be a LEGO Speed Champions Winner’s Circle Podium build which features a small podium with a trophy. Also pictured in the foreground are a couple of minifigures but they probably won’t be included so don’t get your hopes up on that.

The event is free and is intended for children but if you get lucky, older participants are sometimes allowed too. Make sure you get there early as these LEGO Toys R Us building events usually have long lines unless you live in a small city.

**Note: This is for Toys R Us USA.**

LEGO Hints at Harry Potter Expansion Packs for LEGO Dimensions

June 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Over on the LEGO Dimensions Twitter account, they just tweeted a cryptic video of a minifigure with the quote “Only I can live forever. I’m a true Riddle. Who am I?” If you’re a big fan of Harry Potter, you would know that Lord Voldemort said the first sentence in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and his real name is Tom Riddle. This can only suggest that LEGO will be announcing Harry Potter expansion sets for LEGO Dimensions this coming Thursday. Whether or not it will be new Harry Potter minifigures remains to be seen but stay tuned in the next couple of days for the official announcement.

Can you unlock the secret? Come back this Thursday for the exciting reveal! #LEGODimensions https://t.co/9EZMF1MEy1

LEGO Dimensions Announcement Coming This Thursday

June 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Just a short while ago, LEGO Dimensions posted a little teaser of an announcement coming this Thursday, June 9. Rumors have it that the announcement will be some of the expansion packs for LEGO Dimensions Series 2.

This is ahead of E3 which is next week so I’m pretty sure this announcement will be shown more at the event if it is for Series 2. We already know that there’s some sort of promotion for the Supergirl (71340) and Green Arrow (71342).

Check out the teaser below.

LEGO Ideas The Addams Family Mansion Achieves 10,000 Supporters

June 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The Addams Family Mansion by afol777 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features the mansion from the original The Addams Family TV sitcom from the 60s and is a tribute to show. There are many details packed into it which ends up to be a pretty large model made up of over 7,000 pieces. Of course if it is to become an official set, it’ll have to be scaled down substantially.

The Addams Family Mansion joins Voltron – Defender of the Universe and Spaceballs – Eagle 5 as the projects that qualify for the Second 2016 Review Stage.

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.
