LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag April/May 2015 Review

May 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The end of April was pretty busy for me as I flew out to attend Philly Brick Fest. While I was there, I received the Brick Builders Club subscription box for April but didn’t get a chance to review it. Today I received the May 2015 box and instead of doing two separate posts for April and May, I might as well combine them into one post. In short, the April box consisted of the exclusive t-shirt, a LEGO Legends of Chima Nest Dive (70105) Speedorz set, five Funky Fig cards, a poster, a 2×3 red #BrickSwag brick, and the Build magazine.

LEGO First-Person Game Animation

May 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Some of you may know this but besides LEGO as my hobby, I’m also an avid video gamer. I’ve been trying to start up streaming on Twitch but I don’t seem to have the time to. That’s why when I saw this video by andrewmfilms, I was absolutely amazed by it. The video shows various first-person games with the characters being replace by LEGO minifigures including Portal 2, Skyrim, Bioshock, and of course Counter-Strike: Global Offensive aka CS:GO.

The animations are very well done and I especially like the Portal 2 one. If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past month, you would know that Portal 2 will become an official set with LEGO Dimensions this fall. Check out the video below.

LEGO Creator Seasonal Christmas Tree (30286)

Technically it’s not even summer yet but there’s already an image of one of this year’s LEGO Christmas polybags courtesy of Brickset and that is the LEGO Creator Seasonal Christmas Tree (30286). It seems to be an annual tradition that LEGO puts out a Christmas tree during the winter season. It doesn’t look that spectacular with some slight differences to previous years trees but polybag collectors will most likely want this one too.

May 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

LEGO Train fans, it’s time to sink your teeth into LEGO’s latest offering with the LEGO City Heavy-Haul Train (60098). LEGO has updated their servers so now we finally get to see the official images of the set. It’ll consist of 984 pieces including 12 of the straight tracks and 16 of the curved ones. The set will also include the Power Functions IR Speed Remote Control and I assume the Receiver Unit along with the Battery Box. There’s no pricing that I know of but if history is any indication, the Heavy-Haul Train (60098) will be upwards of $150. Who’s excited to add this train to your City layout?

LEGO Worlds Video Game Advertisement Revealed

May 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Over on Eurobricks, a user has found an advertisement for a new video game by TT Games called LEGO Worlds on the back of the instructions of the LEGO City Square (60097) set. There isn’t much to go on from the image but from what I can infer from it is that LEGO Worlds will be some sort of open world sandbox game in which the player can “explore, discover, and create.”

The image also gives a link to LEGO World’s minipage but it doesn’t work yet since the sets aren’t officially released let. I assume we’ll have more details about the game around the beginning of June.
