LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 Monsters (71010) Giveaway 1 Winner Announced

September 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, I ran a contest to give away a complete set of Series 14 Monsters LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010). The contest has ended and there were over 15,000 total entries but there can only be one winner (for now). The votes are tallied and the winner is:

John L.

I’ve already sent the winner an email requesting their shipping info and such and if I don’t get a response, I’ll reroll the winner. Remember that there are three complete sets of minifigures in a box so there will be two more giveaways before the year ends with the next one being held on Halloween, October 31st since these are Monsters minifigures. Thank you to everyone who participated and a big thank you to the LEGO CEE team for sending a box in for me to be able to even do this.

LEGO Dimensions has released a new video featuring some of the voice actors that will be portraying their characters in the upcoming video game. Joel McHale is X-PO, the game’s robot guide and the talented Gary Oldman is Lord Vortech who is the villain of the game.

Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd will be returning to voice Marty McFly and Doc Brown, respectively, from the Back to the Future trilogy.

From The LEGO Movie, a few familiar characters are returning with Chris Pratt being Emmet, Elizabeth Banks as Wyldsty,e Alison Brie as Unikitty, and Charlie Day as Benny.

Chris Pratt is also Owen Grady from Jurassic World along with Irrfan Khan as Simon Masrani.

From the highly anticipated Doctor Who series, Peter Capaldi is the Twelfth Doctor, Jenna Coleman is Clara Oswald, and Michelle Gomez is Missy.

From the Portal series, Stephen Merchant returns as Wheatley as well as Ellen McLain as GLaDOS.

Finally from DC Comics Super Heroes, Troy Baker is Batman and Tara Strong is Harley Quinn.

Of course these are just some of the voice actors listed in the video description but if you want to check out a bigger list of the actors, head on over to IMDB. LEGO Dimensions will be available in two weeks on September 27.

Beyond the Brick BrickCon 2015 Kickstarter Project

September 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Our friends over on Beyond the Brick is known for their interviews of various AFOLs in the community, which I’ve had the honor to be a part of, are planning to go to BrickCon 2015 in Seattle. They haven’t had a chance to make it out there yet and they’re looking for your help to make that a reality. If you haven’t seen it yet, their coverage of BrickWorld Chicago 2015 and BrickFair Virginia 2015 were top notch as usual and they hope BrickCon 2015 will be the same or better.

They’ve set up a Kickstarter with some cool pledge rewards including a digital copy of the BrickCon 2015 DVD at the $15 level and up, custom Smurf minifigures, and custom builds. Plus there are some stretch goals if they make it past their original goal.

Head on over to the Kickstarter project to show your support and if you’re attending BrickCon next month, you might even see yourself in the the DVD when it comes out.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Pod (5004590) Parts List & Building Instructions

September 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 38 Comments

Back in June, there was a contest by LEGO to giveaway a limited edition LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Pod (5004590). I was told that winners were sent emails with the tracking number and the sets have already been shipped out. Reddit user uacrobi has already received theirs and they were nice enough to provide a parts list so you can start finding the necessary parts to build your own. They will be providing the building instructions in due time as well. The Bat-Pod (5004590) contains 311 pieces and also includes a very nifty looking box which looks similar to the exclusive sets from San Diego Comic Con except that it’s twice the length. If you’re in need of the parts, head on over to BrickLink to find sellers that have them. Below is the parts list and I’ll do a post of the building instructions when they are available.

Update: As promised, the OP has uploaded the building instructions for the Bat-Pod. The original copy was 100MB but I’ve condensed the file size to less than 20MB without losing quality. You can download it here. Just rotate the PDF clockwise to see it the right way.

September 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

In my second review of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets, I have the smallest set in the initial wave, Rey’s Speeder (75099). We first saw a clear shot of the vehicle in the teaser trailer last year and LEGO has decided to include it in this wave. The set contains 193 pieces and retails for $19.99 which isn’t a bad price point. The contents of the box include two numbered bags and an instruction booklet.
