BrickLink has now entered the open beta test phase for the next iteration of the website called BrickLink Facelift. In this phase, you can check out the new skin, on-site payment, and improved Search/Catalog UI.

For the new skin, there will be some color changes made to the overall site with it now sporting a light blue background instead of the usual dark green we’ve been seeing for a while. The BrickLink logo will also be changing a little with new typography.

With BrickLink Facelift, there is now on-site payment which users can now complete the checkout process without leaving BrickLink. On-site payment will be supported by Stripe and PayPal and it accepts all major debit/credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club and JCB. For PayPal, you must connect your PayPal account and enable onsite payment.

Finally, there is now a new All Items Search feature which returns the results for both Items for Sale and the Catalog Items Search.

You can check out the preview of BrickLink Facelift over at http://preview.bricklink.com/ and you can give your feedback on the news posting page. The changes are scheduled to be made sometime in June.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Stormtrooper

Entertainment Weekly has given our first look at the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Buildable Battle Figures Stormtrooper. This version of the Stormtrooper is the new First Order variant that will be seen in the upcoming Star Wars movie.

The set will consist of 81 pieces and stand 9 inches tall but no mention of the pricing. It’ll be available on January 1, 2016 but you can get your first close up look at it in next month’s San Diego Comic Con. I’ll be there when it is shown off to the public so you can be sure that I’ll be taking lots of pictures of it from different angles.

A LEGO Brickumentary Non-Spoiler Review

June 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

I was recently invited to watch a special screening for A LEGO Brickumentary which will be hitting theaters on July 31, 2015. I won’t talk too much about it but if you’re a fan of LEGO, this documentary is a definite must watch movie. Without spoiling too much, it takes you through the company’s history and its impact on the worldwide culture. Jason Bateman did a great job in narrating it which includes some humor as well. There are also plenty of interviews and stories about different AFOLs whom you may heard of like Jamie Berard, Alice Finch, Nathan Sawaya, and many more. It’s was cool to see some personal friends in the movie as well like Joe Meno and Tommy Williamson.

A LEGO Brickumentary was initially shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2014 and it was well received by critics and the movie was eventually picked up by RADiUS-TWC. I’d like to thank Liza from MPRM for reaching out and allowing me to watch the advance screening of the movie. Again, A LEGO Brickumentary will be in theaters on July 31. Check out the trailer below if you haven’t seen it yet.

Oscar winning Director Daniel Junge and Oscar Nominated Director Kief Davidson take us on a journey through the LEGO universe…like you have never seen before. They explore the brick that has captured imaginations for generations and look at the fundamental question…is it a toy or something more? A LEGO® BRICKUMENTARY delves into the extraordinary impact of the LEGO brick and the innovative

LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Sets Coming in 2016

June 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Today is like an awesome day for LEGO Super Hero fans. Earlier today, it was announced that LEGO would be a licensing partner for next year’s Captain America: Civil War. Shortly after that, LEGO gave everyone a teaser for the LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice sets coming in 2016. Obviously, we don’t know what the sets will be about but I sure hope that the new Batmobile will be in one of the sets. Stay tuned for more details about the LEGO Bamtan v Superman sets as we get closer to 2016.

LEGO Captain America: Civil War License Announced

June 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 16 Comments

This is breaking news that will make LEGO fans very happy. Variety is reporting that Marvel has announced their licensing partners for next year’s Captain America: Civil War and LEGO will be a part of it which means that we’ll be getting sets for the movie next year in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes line. Building off the success of the Avengers: Age of Ultron merchandise, Marvel and Disney are hoping that Civil War will also continue that trend.

The article does mention that the campaign will feature a number of newer characters including War Machine, Falcon, Vision, Black Widow, and Black Panther. We’ve already seen a few iterations of these characters as minifigures but hopefully we’ll see some more being introduced.

Products will be hitting store shelves eight weeks before the May 6 opening so that gives us a timeframe of when we should be expecting to see the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain America: Civil War sets. I’m going to guess that it’ll be around March or April.

What do you guys think of this news that was kind of expected given that LEGO tends to produce sets based on the Marvel movies? Which minifigures are you hoping to see be included in the sets?
