Brickpicker Fundraiser Raffle

December 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The holidays are for giving and being thankful for what we have. For some, they might not be as fortunate as others and this is where the story begins. The guys over at Brickpicker has emailed me about a fundraiser raffle they are doing to help keep Ed’s son school open which you can read in the link above. Long story short, the school is struggling to stay open and the guys are holding a raffle for a chance to win some retired LEGO sets, which comes from their own collection, and the proceeds will go directly to St. Paul School including:

Sealed Case of 64 Series 10 Collectible Minifigures (71001)
Creator Town Hall (10224)
Monster Fighters Haunted House (10228)
Star Wars Death Star (10188)
Star Wars UCS R2-D2 (10225)

The raffle tickets are $10.00 each for a particular item and for $50.00, you can get an entry for all the sets. The school needs $200,000 by the end of January and hopefully I’m able to spread the word about it on my little corner of the internet. Even though not every LEGO collector is a reseller, Brickpicker has been a great asset to the community with their price guides and I wish them the best on this campaign.

LEGO, in addition, has also provided one of the landmark sets with the Burj Khalifa (21031). It contains 333 pieces and will retail for $39.99.

From now until Thursday, December 24 at Toys R Us stores, you can get a free LEGO Creator Seasonal Christmas Tree (30286) polybag with purchases of $30 or more on LEGO sets, excluding LEGO Dimensions. This is most likely the last free polybag promo for the year at Toy R Us. It isn’t as flashy as the last two free promos but it’s something if you’re doing some last minute Christmas shopping.

LEGO Angry Birds 2016 Official Set Images

December 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

There hasn’t been much information about the upcoming 2016 LEGO Angry Birds sets but there are now the first official images of the sets coming from the Russian 2016 catalog. I won’t translate the names because I know they’ll come out weird but we do know the names of the characters for the sets. For the birds we have Red, Matilda, Stella, Bomb, Chuck, and Mighty Eagle. For the piggies, we have King Pig, Leonard, Pirate Pig, Biker Pig, Chef Pig, Foreman Pig, and generic Piggies.

The sets themselves look pretty interesting in various locations like the castle and pirate ship. There’s also a motorcycle, cannon, and airplane. The play feature is mainly the catapults that launch the birds to their targets pretty much similar to the game.
