LEGO Jurassic World Gate Toys R Us Building Instructions

June 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

If you missed out on the LEGO Jurassic World building event today at Toys R Us, you can usually count on Reddit to have the instructions for it shortly after. Today’s build was the gate to Jurassic World and fortunately, the parts included are pretty common. The only bad thing is that the Jurassic World logo is a sticker which you have to obtain on the secondary market or make one yourself.

i-Brix Wireless LEGO Lighting System Kickstarter Project

June 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

I’ve recently gotten a few emails concerning a new LEGO lights Kickstarter project called i-Brix which the creator states to be an industry-first lighting system to be used with LEGO. These lights have no wires but uses a Power Plate that go underneath the building surface and power is transmitted wirelessly. It seems like a neat concept as you don’t have to build around the wires so if you’re interested, head over to the link above for more details about i-Brix. You can also check out a video of the project below.

No Starch Press has just sent out the official press release for Mike Doyle’s latest book, Beautiful LEGO: Wild!. This is Mike’s third book in the Beautiful LEGO series that showcases nature-inspired LEGO artwork from artists in the LEGO community. You can also pre-order Beautiful LEGO: Wild! on Amazon. Check out the press release below.

San Francisco, CA (June 19, 2015) — Hailed as a “stunning array” by TODAY and “a feast for the senses” by Wired, the Beautiful LEGO series is back with a new collection of breathtaking art. The highly anticipated Beautiful LEGO: Wild! (No Starch Press, $24.95, 232 pp., September 2015) is brimming with imaginative and vibrant masterpieces from the most talented LEGO builders in the world.

From adorable pets and marine critters to magnificent arboreal landscapes, the creations in Beautiful LEGO: Wild! are sure to delight the artist, naturalist, and LEGO enthusiast in everyone.

Interviews with LEGO masters give readers an exclusive look into the minds behind the art. For featured builder Sean Kenney, creating art with LEGO is more than just connecting pieces—it’s capturing the essence of a subject: “It has to have life. My sculptures need to be rooted in personal expression.” One of Kenney’s pieces, Monarch, is made from more than 60,000 LEGO pieces.

Tom Poulsom, whose amazing bird sculptures became an official LEGO set this year, explains the appeal of working in such an unusual medium. “To me, LEGO is the best puzzle in the world. There are infinite combinations, and it’s possible to create pretty

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Exclusive Sam Wilson Minifigure Revealed

June 19, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

USA Today has revealed one of the exclusive LEGO minifigures that will be given away free at San Diego Comic Con 2015, Sam Wilson. This version of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Sam Wilson is the “All-New Marvel” Secret Wars version in which he is the new Captain America.

To get the All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) minifigure at SDCC 2015, there will be a raffle done, similar to last year, where they had iPads set up and you just tap it to see if you’re a winner. If you are, you’ll be sent to an employee to pick it up and if you’re not, hopefully you can find a good price for it on eBay. I’m sure the line for this minifig will be very long.

One thing to note is that the article states the limited-edition minifigures will be obtained from drawings Thursday through Saturday so that means there are only three being released this year which is rather odd since there was one every day last year.

Build on Brick Bookends by ThinkGeek

To take a little diversion from the regular news, ThinkGeek has just launched a new product that you might be interested in. If you have lots of books on your shelf, then these new Build on Brick Bookends may just be the thing you need. The set of two bookends have an exterior building surface that are compatible with many construction bricks including LEGO. They also have metal slides for under the books for more stability.

I’ve reviewed ThinkGeek products before including their Build on Brick Mug and the LEGO bricks seems to stay on pretty well. I assume the plates on the bookends will work just as good. You can now order them on their website and the set of two will go for $19.99.

On the last day of E3, Arthur Parsons did one last interview today with IGN for LEGO Marvel’s Avengers and they showed off an extended demo gameplay of the game. Arthur noted that LEGO Marvel’s Avengers is a “celebration of Avengers” and there will be over 100 new characters that haven’t appeared before in LEGO games including Ulysses Klaw as well as possibly various comic book costumes. There’s not much more information than what we already knew but you can check out the video below.

LEGO Star Wars San Diego Comic Con 2015 Exclusive Dagobah Set Revealed

June 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Complex has revealed another exclusive LEGO set that will be sold at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, the LEGO Star Wars Mini Dagobah set. It will have 177 pieces and will retail for $39.99 at the LEGO booth #2829.

The set features the iconic scene from The Empire Strikes Back on Dagobah where Yoda was exiled to and was the training grounds for Luke Skywalker. The set has a mini X-wing and Yoda’s hut as well as a mini Luke and Yoda.

One thing that is new at SDCC 2015 is that fans must pick up a ticket at the Pavilion Terrace which is like a raffle. This is definitely a nice change since we don’t have to rush down to the exhibit hall when the doors open. The LEGO Star Wars Dagobah set joins the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron set as the ones being revealed so far to be sold at SDCC 2015.

Update: Below are the official rules for the LEGO exclusives.
