LEGO 2016 Sets Showing Up at Toys R Us Stores

November 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I reported that some official images of the 2016 LEGO sets including City, Creator, and Technic have shown up on their servers and some posts have listed them for a December 1 release date. While I was at retail life today, a few readers emailed in and have told me that they saw some of the sets at their local Toys R Us stores. Not all TRU stores may have them available on the floor or for sale so your mileage may vary.

Additionally, they are also available for purchase online as well.

Thanks to Emil and Randy for emailing in.

LEGO Ideas HMS Beagle Achieves 10,000 Supporters

November 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

The HMS Beagle by LuisPG is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the ship’s second voyage from 1831-1836 during the exploration of South America. The exploration was of historical importance because Charles Darwin joined the crew and later released The Voyage of the Beagle.

The project also has some small vignettes of Darwin’s exploration while on the Beagle including the Galapagos Islands, Andes Mountains, and Patagonia.

The HMS Beagle now joins Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, and the Beatles Yellow Submarine as the projects that qualify for the Third 2015 Review Stage.
