New LEGO Attraction Coming to WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre

July 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This is more geared towards the folks across the pond but Penny from the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) has sent over press release regarding their new LEGO attraction at the WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre. You can read more about the event below.

Amazing giant LEGO® brick animals will bring families closer to nature this summer at WWT Slimbridge

This summer the world’s most popular toy will bring families closer to nature at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre.

Giant LEGO brick sculptures will be at the attraction in Gloucestershire for eight weeks this summer from July 18 to September 6, alongside their living counterparts.

Visitors will be able to enjoy the trail of 10 individually-designed 4ft (1.5m) LEGO characters inspired by real species at WWT Slimbridge. Included are a large North American River Otter, an Andean Flamingo and a Bewick’s Swan.

Bristol designer Tom Poulsom with the team at Bright Bricks is busy creating the figures from the feet (or paws!) up.

Gary Haseley-Nejrup, Slimbridge General Manager, said:

“We are very excited to welcome this new species to WWT Slimbridge for the
summer. The first completed characters look fantastic, we can’t wait for them to be out in the wetlands surrounded by wildlife and think our visitors will be bowled over by them.

Families love being around nature at WWT Slimbridge and the LEGO brick trail is a fun way of putting the spotlight on some really important species, many of which are endangered.”

As well as the trail there will be a large LEGO brick play

LEGO SDCC 2015 Exclusives Schedule

SDCC 2015 LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build

If you’re attending San Diego Comic Con next week and want to get in on the LEGO exclusives, FBTB has given some more details about the drawings, more specifically the days in which the exclusives are sold. We already knew that there will be drawings for the three exclusive sets but we now know that you can’t purchase all of them in one day like previous years.

For this year, each set will only be available a particular day so if you want to get all three sets, you’ll have to stand in line each day to enter the raffles. Sunday is a wildcard day as they will be doing a drawing for all tickets that haven’t been redeemed from Thursday to Saturday. If you were hoping to get the LEGO exclusives on Preview Night, you’re out of luck because nothing will be sold or given away on that day.

Thursday: LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Action Comics #1 Superman™
Friday: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron™
Saturday: LEGO Star Wars™ Dagobah™ Mini-Build
Sunday: There will be a drawing for tickets that have not been redeemed on this day

Nothing will be sold or given away on Wednesday, Preview Night.

First Official Look at LEGO Angry Birds

July 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Last month, it was announced that The LEGO Group would be producing official LEGO Angry Birds sets that will be coming out in 2016 in conjunction with the upcoming Angry Birds movie. Today on Kotaku, we have the first image of what one of the characters would look like. As you can see from the image above, it is Jason Sudeikis’ Red in LEGO minifigure form. LEGO Angry Birds will also be displayed at San Diego Comic Con next week so we can expect to get a better look at what LEGO has planned during the convention.

Watch LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales Early on Disney XD Site

June 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you can’t wait for LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales to air on July 6, well you’re in luck. The whole first episode, Exit from Endor, is available for viewing on Disney XD. The only thing required is that you have to be signed in to your cable or satellite provider. I can confirm that it works on Firefox but I was having some issues with Chrome and Internet Explorer.

LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales is a five-part miniseries of 22 minute episodes that will retell the six Star Wars films through C-3PO and R2-D2 perspectives.

Following their victory celebration in the Ewok village on Endor, seen at the close of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, C-3PO and R2-D2 have gathered to regale Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca and the other Rebels with the tales of their adventures that led to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. An accidental kidnapping occurs while the droids are reminiscing and suddenly viewers are taken on a new adventure that leads to encounters with familiar faces and places that prompt the re-telling of the entire saga. The series offers all of the playful humor that viewers expect from LEGO Star Wars.

LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile Revealed

June 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile

One of the anticipated movies that will be shown off at San Diego Comic Con 2015 will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and today The Wall Street Journal has revealed one of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that will be released in conjunction with the movie next year, the Batmobile. The set will have 306 pieces and retail for $29.99. It also includes a new Batman minifigure as well as two un-named characters while the Batmobile itself will contain some stud shooters. There will also be another vehicle with the set. So for $30, you get a Batmobile, another vehicle, and three minifigures including a new Batman outfit. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

The article also states that the Batmobile will be available on January 1st so we can probably expect it by late December. The set will be on display next week at SDCC and I’ll have some close-up shots of it when it revealed to the public. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about it.

LEGO Jurassic World Raptor Rampage (75917) Review

June 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I’ve finally had some time to watch Jurassic World in theaters and for my second review of the LEGO Jurassic World sets, first of the boxed sets, I have the Raptor Rampage (75917). The set consists of 324 pieces and retails for $49.99. One of the main complaints I’ve heard about the LEGO Jurassic World sets is because of the prices but keep in mind there are some large molds included in the set on top of it being a licensed theme. The box contains three numbered bags, two individually bagged raptors, two instruction booklets, and a sticker sheet.

Warning: There will be spoilers in the LEGO Jurassic World reviews so if you haven’t watched Jurassic World yet, I suggest skipping these posts. I feel it’s been ample time between the release of the movie and the time the reviews go up and I assume a majority of the readers have already seen the movie.

LEGO SDCC 2015 Exclusive Set Official Box Art Images

June 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like all the San Diego Comic Con 2015 LEGO exclusive sets have been revealed and there are now official box art images of the sets. What we didn’t know about the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build is that there will also be a R2-D2 minifigure included in the set. Although it’s not a new version, it’s nice that one is included. If there’s more sets to be revealed, I’ll add it on to this post.

On another note, I believe there’s still one more exclusive minifigure to be revealed because it was noted on a previous article that the drawings would be held from Thursday through Saturday. The LEGO Marvel Super Heroes All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) and LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Arsenal have already been revealed.

LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build – 177 pieces/$39.99
