LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) Now Available for Pre-Order on Amazon

August 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

The new LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) is now available for pre-order on Amazon. It retails for $59.99 and will be available on September 1 so I assume that LEGO will be officially revealing the set soon. There’s something interesting about the description. It states “set also includes a booklet about the designer and the animated Pixar movie” so does that mean the movie is included or is the booklet about both the designer and the movie?

Update: And it’s been taken off Amazon.

Build, display and role play with WALL-E! Construct the LEGO Ideas version of WALL-E with posable neck, adjustable head and arms, gripping hands, opening trunk and rolling tracks. Build a beautifully detailed LEGO version of WALL-E -the last robot left on Earth! Created by Angus MacLane, an animator and director at Pixar Animation Studios, and selected by LEGO Ideas members, the development of this model began alongside the making of the lovable animated character for the classic Pixar feature film. It has taken almost a decade to perfect the LEGO version, which incorporates many authentic WALL-E characteristics, including a posable neck, adjustable head, arms that move up and down and side to side, plus gripping hands and rolling tracks. With a trunk that opens and closes, you can tidy up the planet one pile of garbage at a time! This set also includes a booklet about the designer and the animated Pixar movie.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14: Monsters (71010) Feel Guide

August 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

In a few weeks, the new Series 14 LEGO Collectible Minifigures: Monsters (71010) will be hitting store shelves pretty soon. The legendary WhiteFang has already done his review over on Eurobricks. To prepare for the release of this set, below is a “feel guide” on how to correctly get the minifigures you are looking for. Note that the dot method on the package isn’t accurate anymore and shouldn’t be relied on.

As mentioned in WhiteFang’s review, there are three complete sets in an unopened box. Below are a distribution you should expect to find in a complete box:

3 per box

Wolf Guy
Wacky Witch
Zombie Cheerleader
Tiger Woman
Zombie Businessman
Banshee
Spider Lady

4 per box

Plant Monster
Fly Monster
Spectre
Gargoyle
Skeleton Guy
Square Foot

5 per box

Zombie Pirate
Mad Scientist
Monster Rocker

1. Wolf Guy

The long bone piece should be the easiest thing to feel for.

2. Zombie Pirate

There are several things that make him stand out. His sword is the obvious choice while the pirate hat and peg leg are also helpful

3. Monster Scientist

The easiest thing to feel for is the flask accessory piece. His long headpiece could also be useful.

4. Wacky Witch

The Wacky Witch has a couple of easy things to look for when searching for her including the cat, broom, and hat piece.

5. Plant Monster

The large plant head piece is a dead giveaway since it is such a unique piece to Series 14.

6. Fly Monster

The Fly Monster can … Continue

No Starch Press Medieval LEGO Book Review

August 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The folks over at No Starch Press has sent me a couple of their upcoming books for review. One of these books is called Medieval LEGO by Greyson Beights. The book contains 132 pages and retails for $14.95.

Castles and kings, battles and treaties, famine and plague, intrigue and invasion!

Medieval LEGO takes you through real English history in the middle ages with a unique twist, with every event illustrated by a tiny little LEGO scene. With contributions by medievalists and scholars, this book brings medieval history to life in a fun, kid-friendly way.

Inside, you’ll learn about events like the Battle of Hastings, the chartering of Oxford University, and the signing of the Magna Carta. You’ll witness the infamous Black Death, and the Great Famine, and you’ll read about famous historical figures like Robin Hood, Richard the Lionheart, Geoffrey Chaucer, and William the Conqueror.

Grab your broadsword and turn the page to join the adventure.

The first thing I noticed when I saw the book was that it reminded me of the little children’s storybooks. The small size of it immediately gave me some nostalgia of some of the same sized books when I was a kid but don’t let that fool you. Medieval LEGO is filled with a lot of historical content along with closeups of builds that give a small scene for the event.

The book is separated into three parts which encompasses several date ranges throughout the Middle Ages. Within each chapter are a number of important historical events that happened in … Continue

Back in June, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced some new licenses coming to LEGO Dimensions including Ghostbusters and Midway Arcade. There’s now a new image of the Starter Pack (71173) which shows the full lineup of minifigures for the Level Packs, Team Packs, and Fun Packs including minifigure for the Midway Arcade Expansion Pack (71235). The image shows some sort of gamer character wearing a green shirt with a black jacket. His accessories include a soda and what looks to be a coin. Thanks to CM4Sci on Eurobricks for the heads up.

In my next review of the LEGO Scooby-Doo sets, I have the Mystery Plane Adventures (75901). It only contains 128 pieces but it retails for $19.99 which is fairly high. The contents of the box include two numbered bags, one instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet.

Rumored LEGO Ideas Doctor Who Set Details

August 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Back in February, LEGO announced that Andrew Clark’s Doctor Who and Compansions project on LEGO Ideas will become an official set. There hasn’t been much or any information, for that matter, regarding the set however Hulk_Smash over on Eurobricks has changed that.

They have mentioned that the set might be based on The Time of the Doctor Christmas special episode of the series with the minifigures being Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi’s respective Doctors, Clara, two Daleks, and a Weeping Angel. The set itself will be the TARDIS interior with the exterior on the end and it can “come off and display as the TARDIS.” The release date will be December 1st and as we already seen from a Toys R Us price tag, the retail price of the set will be $59.99 unless it was marked up but I doubt it was.

Keep in mind that these are only rumors until confirmed by LEGO themselves when they officially announce it, supposedly on September 1st, but Hulk_Smash has given legit information before so the details given could be true. Thanks to Josh for the heads up.
