LEGO Minecraft 2016 Set Details

August 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

The LEGO Minecraft theme will be continuing in 2016 with a few more of the minifigure-scale sets. CM4Sci on Eurobricks has posted the names of four sets that will be coming out next year. I don’t play Minecraft anymore but doing some research, the sets do sound interesting. Like with the current wave, there will be a few different biomes that will be played out in the new Minecraft sets.

The Iron Golem (21123)
The End Portal (21124)
The Jungle Tree House (21125)
The Wither (21126)

The Iron Golem set, you’ll probably be getting a few minifigures since the Iron Golem defends villages of at least 10 villagers. Obviously LEGO won’t be putting that many in a what I expect to be a smaller set but I think there will be a few.

The End Portal will probably contain a lot of gray parts with some green portals.

I think The Jungle Tree House is exactly what it sounds like. There will be some sort of house in a jungle setting so expect to see lots of trees and such.

Finally, The Wither is a floating, three-headed boss. It is created with soul sand in a T-shape and you put wither skeleton skulls at the top so I think there will be some wither skeleton minifigures in the set.

More Details of LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) Delayed Release

August 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 20 Comments

A few days ago, I reported that the upcoming LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) set was possibly being delayed due to an issue with the build. There wasn’t any specifics of what the issue was or how long the release would be delayed because there hasn’t been an official statement by LEGO about it. However, they did mention on Twitter that it would be slightly delayed at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home but you can find it at other retailers like Toys R Us and such. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the set will be available on September 21 but I’m not sure where the source is for that date. I’ve also heard that it might available on September 27. As far as I know, the set is being delayed indefinitely.

The issue in question is the head/neck area where the head connects to the neck. The neck connection isn’t able to support the weight of the head and it will swing backwards every time you tilt the head up. The only problem with you getting it early is that you won’t have the the parts needed to stabilize the head. A few people who already have purchased WALL·E have contacted LEGO Customer Service and they are being sent parts 4211695 and 4265484 to help alleviate the problem but it doesn’t seem to make sense because they only further support the neck more but doesn’t really solve the problem with the joint in the neck holding the head as it will still swing backwards due to … Continue
