Paul Lee Creates LEGO Movie Posters for Brick Fiesta 2015 Attendees

July 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Brick Fiesta 2015 started a few days ago and one of the perks for registering as an AFOL is some of the cool swag you get. Artist Paul Lee has created some very cool classic movie posters as LEGO sticker versions that can fit into the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232). These posters include Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Jaws, Amélie, and Jurassic World.

Different LEGO conventions have different swag given out sometimes and most of the time, you never know what you’re going to get. If you haven’t been to a convention as a registered attendee, you should make the effort to go to at least one so see all the fun stuff that you normally wouldn’t see on public days. Check out all of Paul’s other posters below.

LEGO Minecraft The Nether Fortress (21122) Review

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

For my other review of the new summer 2015 wave of LEGO Minecraft sets, I have The Nether Fortress (21122) which is the largest set in the wave. The set will be available on August 1st and it contains 571 pieces and retail for $79.99. Again, this set was sent in by the LEGO CEE Team for me to review.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy by Vesa Lehtimäki (Avanaut)

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in March, I reported on a few upcoming LEGO DK books that will be released late this year. One of these books by Finnish LEGO photographer Vesa Lehtimäki, aka Avanaut, was tentatively called LEGO Star Wars: Through a Lens but the finalized title of the book is called LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy. It’ll retail for $24.99 and has 176 pages and will be released on November 10.

If you’re into LEGO photography, you’ve probably heard of Avanaut’s work as it has also been used in the LEGO The Hobbit set promotions. I think LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy will make a very nice coffee table book as it can show off what a person with a camera and LEGO can do with some imagination. Obviously, Avanaut is just a one person in the popular LEGO photography community and this book may be a stepping stone to introduce more people into the hobby.

LEGO® Star Wars® sets and minifigures come to life in this beautiful photography book.

Created by Finnish photographer Vesa Lehtimäki using his son’s favorite toys, the book features painstaking recreations of classic movie moments and hilarious new takes on fan-favorite characters and themes. Informative captions give technical details for each scene, while anecdotes from Lehtimäki offer background insights to his creative process.

LEGO Star Wars Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a breathtaking new look at a timeless icon that allows fans to see their favorite minifigures from the classic saga

July 24, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

Earlier this week, I wanted your guys’ opinion on what kind of giveaway I should do for the San Diego Comic Con 2015 exclusive minifigures that I have. It looks like there’s an overwhelming response that you guys want three separate giveaways so that’s what I’ll do. I’ll make each giveaway a seperate post using the Rafflecopter app and each giveaway will last about a week.

The first giveaway is for the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Arsenal Minifigure. Like I said before, these giveaways are worldwide so those who weren’t able to attend SDCC can have a chance to win as well.

The ways to qualify for the giveaway are stated in the Rafflecopter app below. While you’re at The Brick Fan Facebook Page, feel free to like, share, and comment on this contest post. The Twitter and Google+ entries are optional but they do give more entries for following my other social media outlets.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2015 Dagobah Mini-Build Review

July 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In probably my final coverage San Diego Comic Con 2015, minus the upcoming giveaway, I have the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build. It contains 177 pieces and retailed for $40 at the convention. The set is similar in style to the Tatooine Mini-Build from Star Wars Celebration 2015.

Jurassic World 2 Scheduled for 2018 Release

July 23, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

A little earlier today, Universal announced that Jurassic World will be getting a sequel and is scheduled to be released on June 22, 2018. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be returning as the stars of the movie while Steven Spielberg will again be the executive producer. Jurassic World opened in theaters last month and has become the third highest grossing movie all-time passing The Avengers.

LEGO also released some sets to go along with the movie but currently there is a shortage of inventory and a majority of them have been out of stock due to the popularity of the first movie. Although not guaranteed, it’s almost safe to say that we can assume that there will be LEGO Jurassic World 2 sets coming in 2018 as well.

More LEGO Dimensions Expansion Packs Alternate Builds Revealed

July 23, 2015 / Michael Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Dimensions The Simpsons Level Pack (71202)

LEGO Dimensions has revealed some more of the alternate builds for a few of the upcoming expansions packs. As we know by now, all the builds will be able to be taken apart and built into another vehicle or gadget to use in the game. As you can see above, Homer’s car in the The Simpsons Level Pack (71202) can be built into the SubmaHomer which is a submarine and a hovercraft called the HomerCraft.

LEGO Dimensions Jurassic World Team Pack (71205)

For the Jurassic World Team Pack (71205), the velociraptor doesn’t change that much from the original build but it is able to be built into a Venom Raptor and a Spike Attack Raptor.

The release of LEGO Dimensions is just little over two months away with very much interest and hype. From what I saw at SDCC, kids really enjoyed playing the game and to have physical sets to go along with the digital world, is a great combination.
