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

WB Games has released the newest trailer for LEGO Jurassic World as well as a promo image filled with characters and dinosaurs that will you can play as in the video game. In the new trailer, there are many different dinosaurs that we’ve already seen before as well as some newly revealed ones such as Brachiosaurus, Compsognathus (Compy), Tyrannosaurus Rex, Pachycephalosaurus, Triceratops, Velociraptors, Spinosaurus, Pteranodon, and Mesosaurus.

The promo image shows the main cast from the original Jurassic Park along with some of the new characters from Jurassic World as well as the bigger carnivores like the Indominus Rex, T-Rex, and Spinosaurus.

The release date of June 12 was also announced but we already knew that from a previous post.

Big dinos, tiny dinos, friendly dinos, angry dinos, flying dinos, battling dinos, and even goofy dinos! Between the 20+ different kinds of playable dinosaurs and more making an appearance in LEGO Jurassic World, players will have plenty to do in this colossal game when it comes out in the UK on the 12th June 2015, for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, PlayStation®Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii™U, Nintendo 3DS™ and PC.

LEGO City Deep Sea Operations Base (60096) Revealed by The Brick Show

May 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Brick Show is back with another review of a LEGO City set that we haven’t seen pictures of yet, the Deep Sea Operations Base (60096). The reason for us not knowing about the set is because it’ll be a store exclusive but it’s unknown which retailer it will be. The set has 907 pieces and it consists of a lot of builds to it including a sea plane, the operations base, a little raft, a small submarine, and a little rock formation with treasure. The pricing is also unknown at this point but I’m guessing it’ll be upwards of $90. Check out Stephen’s review of the set below.

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game Pre-Order Exclusives Not Really Exclusives?

May 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word “exclusive” means 1) excluding or having power to exclude or 2) limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group. Back in March, GameStop announced that their pre-order bonus for the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World video game would be the Gallimimus Trap Polybag (30320) which clearly states that it’s a GameStop exclusive. Brickset’s listing has the same exact polybag being available at Toy R Us Canada that was going to be available this month. A Reddit post confirms Brickset’s availability note and is currently selling for $5.99 CA. A comment in the same thread states that the Gallimimus Trap will also be available at US TRU for a promo starting the week of June 21.

This brings up the question of what exactly is an exclusive anymore? To me, it means that the particular item is unique and attached to one promo and wouldn’t be sold anywhere else which was the case of previously released LEGO games. For the LEGO Jurassic World video game, all of the known exclusives so far aren’t really exclusives as they are available already or will be available at another retailer such as Toys R Us. For example, the Dr. Wu Target exclusive is the same minifigure as in the Indominus rex Breakout (75919). Personally, I’ll be doing the GameStop pre-order for the polybag but it stings a little that the polybag bonus isn’t really an exclusive. I guess it’s a good thing for LEGO collectors in … Continue

Upcoming Toys R Us LEGO Polybag Promotions

May 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275)

We’ve reported on many LEGO polybags that have shown up on the Toys R Us website but haven’t seen it actually in stores but FBTB seems to have the inside scoop on a couple of them for some upcoming promotions. First up is the LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275) which will be part of a promo starting on May 24.

The other polybag that’s been very sought for is the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303). That one won’t be “available” until the week of August 9. What’s interesting about this one is that I’ve already seen a couple of people in the US who have been able to purchase this polybag from their local store as early as last week and I’m not sure why the promo listed is so far out. I’ve also reported that the Joker Bumper car could be available at Target as well but there hasn’t been any sightings of it over there yet. Of course for people in the UK, it will be be available this Sunday as part of their Daily Mail promo.

As soon as the promotions are over, TRU will most likely sell them for $3.99 each or if you’re lucky with the cashiers, they’ll probably just sell you one individually.

New LEGO City Space Polybag (30315) Revealed by The Brick Show

May 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The Brick Show has revealed a new LEGO City polybag that we haven’t really reported on yet. It was sent to them directly from LEGO for review but nobody really knows the name of it yet. All the information that is available is that it is set 30315 and is part of the Space subtheme that will be coming out this summer. As far as information that I know, there will be a promo in August for a “City Space Car” so I’m going assume that it is talking about that one.

The 30315 polybag consists of an astronaut minifigure riding some sort of rover-type vehicle with a rotating satellite. Check out Stephen’s review on the new LEGO City Space polybag below.

Philly Brick Fest 2015 Steel City LUG Showcase

May 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing with my coverage of Philly Brick Fest 2015 from a few weeks ago, I’ve been showing some of the LUGs that attended the event and displayed their LEGO MOCs with TubeLUG and PennLUG. Today, I have another showcase featuring another Pennsylvania LUG called Steel City LUG.

Steel City LUG is mainly located in Pittsburgh, hence the name “Steel City,” and they made the 5+ hour trip to Philly to represent their LUG. Like last year, they were well represented and even a few members won a couple of Rocky’s for their MOCs, including one special one called “The Lord of Games” which went to Dan Walker. Check out all the cool stuff they had displayed below.
