LEGO 2015 Christmas Employee Gift Borkum Riffgrund (4002015)

You guys may have seen this already but I’ve held off reporting on it because some people might see it as a Christmas spoiler. We’ve seen how generous The LEGO Group is to their employees and for this year, they have some special Christmas gifts for everyone in the company.

First off, there’s a new set floating around on the secondary market called the Borkum Riffgrund (4002015). This 559 piece set is the 2015 Christmas gift that is given out to every employee around the world and is based off the offshore wind farm that LEGO has invested in to help the company reach 100% on renewable energy by 2020.

The other gift that LEGO employees will receive is a extra month’s salary for their hard work according to The Copenhagen Post. This is on top of their regular paychecks and is for all the work the employees have done to help LEGO become the number one toy company in the world. Indeed a very Merry Christmas to everyone that is part of the company.

LEGO BIONICLE: Gathering of the Toa Graphic Novel Sneak Peek

December 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

It looks like LEGO BIONICLE fans are getting a sneak peek at some new stuff. Earlier today, Kim from the LEGO Community Engagement team sent over images and a short excerpt from an upcoming LEGO BIONICLE graphic novel called Gathering of the Toa by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. The book will be available on December 29 and it’ll be available in paperback, hardcover, or on the Kindle. Although I’m not into BIONICLE, I know there are readers who are interested in the theme.

On the mythical island of Okoto, the forces of darkness are on the move. To defeat evil, the island Protectors call on the help of six elemental heroes known as the To a. Join Tahu, Kopaka, Onua, Gali, Lewa, Pohatu, and Ekimu as they discover their powers and gather together to fight the hordes of Skull Spiders and the oncoming darkness.

Also includes a never-before-seen look into the secret world of Bionicle in THE OKTO PROTECTORS GUIDE.

The first in an epic graphic novel series of new stories and action-packed adventures following the heroes of Okoto. Features exclusive content that provides maps, myths, and more!

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.
