LEGOLAND California - The LEGO Movie A 4D Adventure

Yesterday, I was invited as part of the press to LEGOLAND California for the premiere of The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure which will be opening to the public on February 6th. When I got there, we checked in at the front gate and was whisked in shortly after. There was a whole red carpet set up where kids and adults were able to take pictures with some of the main characters from The LEGO Movie like Emmet, Wyldstyle, Benny, and Unikitty. There I also ran into my friend Mariann from Model Building Secrets who was also doing her coverage of the event. After the red carpet, there was food stands set up where we could grab what ever we wanted to snack on.

As for the 4D Adventure itself, it is new attraction the 425-seat theater that incorporates effects like wind, rain, and fog to what you see on the screen. The story is pretty neat as the main characters end up in a mysterious theme park called Brick World which is ran by Lord Business’ brother, Risky Business, who voiced by actor and comedian Patton Oswalt. From what I saw, both kids and adults were digging the 12 1/2-minute film as it was very enjoyable throughout.

After the film, there was a post-screening Q&A which had The LEGO Group’s vice president of licensing and entertainment and producer of The LEGO Movie Jill Wilfert and Joshua Wexler from Pure Imagination Studios as the guests. Wilfert gave fans some details of what LEGO projects we … Continue

Also revealed along with the Ecto-1 is the Ecto-2 motorcycle which is ridden by Chris Hemsworth’s character Kevin. One of the images also might contain a spoiler as Kevin seems to be possessed. The last minifigure in the set is a red Daemon which could be something that’s part of the plot.

LEGO Deadpool Sets Posted by Ryan Reynolds

February 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Earlier today, Ryan Reynolds posted on Twitter some LEGO sets promoting the upcoming Deadpool movie showing off some “spoilers” for the movie. He’s pretty much poking fun at the Toy Fairs like London and Nuremberg that show off upcoming products and the spoilery nature of LEGO sets based on movies. If you’re not familiar with Deadpool, he’s pretty much a super hero that tends to break the fourth wall with usually has a humorous effect.

The sets that are shown off include Deadpool Space Squid Shark Balloon Battle (6969) which has 1991 pieces and the other one is called Deadpool Hot Dogs Moose and Owl (2016) which has 8675309 pieces or Jenny’s number. Obviously both of these sets are fake but note that they use legit LEGO pieces which makes it even more hilarious.

New LEGO Holiday Train Rumored for 2016

February 4, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

The talk around the LEGO community the past few days is about new LEGO Holiday Christmas Train that is rumored to be coming out later this year. This was first reported by nesquik on Eurobricks and was brought to light by Just2Good. It was mentioned that it is not a re-release of the 2006 Holiday Train (10173) so we don’t have to worry about the same issue that happened last year with the re-release of the Winter Toy Shop (10248). Keep in mind that nesquik has given legit information before in the past so what they are saying could be true. Of course things can change by the time the holiday season rolls around so I wouldn’t put too much into this rumor until some concrete details are uncovered. If a new Holiday Train is actually coming out this winter, would you guys be picking it up?

Update: The new Winter Holiday Train (10254) has been officially announced.
