Watch The Secret World of LEGO on YouTube

June 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Yesterday in the UK showed the anticipated documentary: The Secret World of LEGO. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but many LEGO fans enjoyed it from what I’ve been reading on different sites. The documentary takes a look inside LEGO’s headquarters as well as featuring some of the employees. The show also follows Mark Guest and his launch of Bricks and Bricks Culture and Tom Poulsom and his LEGO Ideas Birds (21301) set. If you haven’t watched The Secret World of LEGO yet, there’s a video up on YouTube of the full show but I suspect it might be going down in a few days so watch it while you can. For people in the UK, you can watch it on demand over on Channel 4’s website.

June 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is in full-swing and there are tons of upcoming video games being showed off. One of the games that was shown off today was LEGO Dimensions which will be coming out on September 27. At the event, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Doug Heder and TT Games’ Mark Warburton gave us our first look at the Portal 2 Level Pack (71203) which includes the Chell LEGO minifigure.

In the video, you get to see how the game works in conjunction with the minifigures and the different builds in the expansion packs. The sections of the ToyPad itself can be used to place various items on it and it’ll appear in the game in real-time. This allows you you trigger different abilities to use in game to further you gaming experience. It was also stated that there are no restrictions on which LEGO characters, objects, or vehicles you can bring in game.

Check out the video below for LEGO Dimensions at E3 as well as some screenshots of the game.

If you’re interested, send me a message at [email protected] and the first person locally to email me will get an invite. Deadline to enter is tomorrow.

Update: The demo day at the Flatiron Store, NYC has been claimed.

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game – Jurassic Park Playthrough

June 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The LEGO Jurassic World video game is now available on all major systems and I had some time to play the original Jurassic Park movie part of the game in full. If you follow my social media networks, I did announce that I would be streaming the game so if you came by, thanks for watching. If you haven’t seen it, I also created a playlist of the playthrough for the first movie which you can watch below. Forgive me for the sidebar on the video. This was my first time streaming directly from the PS4 so I wasn’t familiar with the layout.

I’m currently now playing the second movie part of the game, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and should be finishing up most likely tomorrow so stay tuned for that.

LEGO Star Wars Sith Infiltrator (75096) Set Animation

June 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has posted a set animation video of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Sith Infiltrator (75096). It gives a closer look at the ship driven by Darth Maul and its features which includes a bay for holding the Bloodfin speeder and three DRK-1 Dark Eye Probe Droids. The minifigures that will be included in the set are Darth Maul, Qui-Gonn Jinn wearing a poncho for his Mos Espa variant, Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2, and Watto. With this video, we can now see some differences with this set compared to the 2011 7961 set. The main one is the way the speeder is stored. There is now ample space to put it in unlike the last version where you have to finagle it in a small area.

There’s still no word on piece count or US pricing at this time but I’m sure it’ll be showing up on Shop@Home soon.

First Look at LEGO Classic Pirate Minifigure Retro Set

June 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Hoth Bricks has given a first look at this year’s VIP Retro Minifigure Set. Last year, we had the LEGO Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) which included a white Spaceman. For this year, the set will be a Pirates set which includes a Pirate minifigure on a boat mast with a skull flag, a shark, a palm tree, and a barrel. I assume the packaging of the box will be similar to last year with the slide out box and includes a small booklet taking a look back at the Pirates theme.

As for the requirements to get the Pirate VIP Retro Minifigure set, it’s stated on the image of 55€ but for us here in the States, it’ll probably be a gift with purchase of $99 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home for LEGO VIP members. It was rumored that this set would be happening in July but it doesn’t show up on the July 2015 LEGO Store Calendar so I think it’ll be happening here in a few months. Last year, this promo was in September so I think it’ll be around the same time. What do you guys think of this Pirate Retro Set?… Continue
