LEGO Nexo Knights First Official Image

October 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 16 Comments

I’ve briefly talked about the new LEGO Nexo Knights theme for 2016 but due to watermarked images and whatnot, there haven’t been any official images of it until now. The fine folks over at Brickset has revealed the first image of the upcoming theme which comes from the latest Australian LEGO Club Magazine. In the image, you can see some of the Knights like Clay, Macy, Axle, Aaron, and Lance as well as the villains Jestro, Moltor, and Lavaria.

As mentioned before, Nexo Knights will be LEGO’s next big original IP which replaces Legends of Chima and will include a major media campaign to go along with it including a TV show, books, and so on.

Now that we’ve seen an official image of LEGO Nexo Knights, what do you think so far?

LEGO October 2015 Double VIP Points Promotion Now Live

September 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

It’s October on the east coast and that means purchases will now earn you double VIP points on LEGO Shop@Home and at LEGO Brand Stores. Even though the Store Calendar shows the Double Points promotion only shows it running from October 1-4, it’s been confirmed that it will actually run until October 14. This extension also overlaps with the free exclusive LEGO Creator Holiday Train (40138) starting on October 13 so I have a feeling that many people will be waiting to kill two birds with one stone.

If you’re planning on doing the double VIP points, what are you planning to purchase? For me, I’ll probably be picking up the UCS Slave I (75060) and some others in the collection that I’m missing. Let me know in the comments below of what you’ll be getting.

Tires for LEGO DC Comics Bat-Pod (5004590) Available Again on Bricks & Pieces

September 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you’re still trying to piece together the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Pod (5004590), you’ll find that the hardest part to find is probably the tires because they are only available in The Tumbler (76023). Many have been trying to purchase them off Brick & Pieces but they’ve been out of stock for a while. The good news is that they are now available to purchase again at a decent price of $11.02 per tire which is a bargain compared to $30+ sellers are asking for on BrickLink. I highly suggest that you purchase them now before they go out of stock again. The only downside from ordering from Bricks & Pieces is that you won’t earn any LEGO VIP points or qualify for any promotions that are going on.

Update: And it’s sold out again. I won’t keep updating on its availability. You’ll have to keep checking when it comes back in stock.

LEGO News Show Premiere Episode

September 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Back in 2013, LEGO released an animated series called the LEGO News Show but it was voiced in German. LEGO has now released the first English episode of the show on the LEGO Club minisite. Like the previous series, it features Dan Brickman and Helen Stone as the anchors. Also joining them as a correspondent is the LEGO Club mascot Max.

The first episode of the LEGO News Show doesn’t provide much news content but is more of a introduction video of the characters that we’ll be seeing more of in the future. The show will have monthly episodes that will be on the LEGO Club minisite and on YouTube as well. Check out the premiere episode in the link above.

LEGO Dimensions Companion App Now Available

September 30, 2015 / Michael Tran / 2 Comments

The talk for the past couple of days is the release of LEGO Dimensions and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has also announced that there is also a LEGO Dimensions companion app to go along with it. The app lets you do a variety of things like learning more about the expansion packs including getting the build//rebuild instructions. You can also unlock badges and get exclusive wallpapers for your desktop and mobile devices.

One downside of the app is that it is a whopping 135MB so if your device is full, you might not be able to download it until you free up some space. Another is that there are some glitches here and there. I’m sure some future updates will fix these issues.

The LEGO Dimensions companion app is now available on Google Play and will be on iTunes in the near future.

Take LEGO® Dimensions™ on the go with the official companion app. You can explore expansion packs, game videos and share your collection and wish list with family & friends!

The LEGO Dimensions companion app contains a wealth of information including videos, screenshots and expansion pack build/rebuild instructions.

App Features:
* Learn about the LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack.
* Explore all of the expansion packs including Level, Team and Fun Packs.
* Keep track of your wish list to help you complete your collection.
* Build your collection and share it with friends to compare!
* Earn all of the badges to unlock an exclusive desktop and mobile wallpaper!
* Scan a LEGO Dimensions

LEGO Angry Birds Bad Piggies Preview Image

September 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

Earlier today while I was at work, LEGO shared on their social media pages a preview of Bad Piggy for the upcoming LEGO Angry Birds theme which coincides with The Angry Birds Movie coming out in 2016. In the image, you can see one of the pigs as well as some of the birds including Red, Matilda, Stella, Bomb, and Chuck.

New York Comic Con 2015 is next week and LEGO does have a booth there. There’s no word on what they will be revealing there, if anything, but the LEGO Angry Birds is possible. If not, we’ll probably see images of the sets at upcoming toy fairs.

Check out the trailer for the movie below and let me know your thoughts on the theme. Thanks to everyone who messaged in about it. I did see it when LEGO posted it but wasn’t able to post about it.
