New LEGO Sets Showing Up at Toys R Us

February 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 9 Comments

If you’re heading out to Toy R Us, you may want to check out the LEGO section because you may find some of the new sets a little early there. At my closest location, I found one of the new LEGO Speed Champions sets, the McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop (75911) which retails for $29.99. I also found four of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron sets including Iron man vs. Ultron (76029), Avenger Hydra Showdown (76030), Attack on Avengers Tower (76038), The Hydra Fortress Smash (76041). I hope to have a review for these sets up in the next couple of days. There also reports that the LEGO Elves and LEGO Pirates are also showing on shelves as well.

LEGO Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens Set Pricing

February 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The last time that there was information about the LEGO Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens sets was last month when there were details of the set numbers and pricing in British Pounds. We also knew there was going to be an updated Millennium Falcon as well as a X-Wing. There is new information coming from BZPower, albeit a little late on my part, of the piece counts of the sets as well as US and Canadian dollar prices for each of these sets. I’m going to venture a guess and say the most expensive set will be the new Millennium Falcon. All the sets below will be available in September.

StarWars.com has revealed the exclusive minifigure for the DK LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded which will be the White Boba Fett, aka Proto Fett.

LEGO Elves Official Trailer Now Online

February 19, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released the official trailer for the upcoming LEGO Elves theme. It basically tells the story of the main character, Emily Jones, arriving in Elvendale and what the Elves have to do to get her home. Parts of the trailer are actually from the 22 minute webisode that was online a few weeks ago but was later taken down. I believe the episode will be online again once the sets are released. From the early looks, fans seem to be pretty open-minded about the Elves theme especially with the new colorful pieces that will be available. Will you be picking up any of the sets?

Happy Lunar/Chinese New Year 2015!

February 19, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is Lunar New Year, aka Chinese New Year, and it begins the Year of the Sheep/Goat. Happy New Year to everyone who is celebrating the next couple of days and I wish everyone happiness and good luck. The above MOC is created by Andy Hung (Andybear) and it shows the traditional candy box that is used during this time of the year. On the lid of the box, you can see the word 福 which means fortune or good luck. You can also see some traditional gold ingots that were used in China in the past as a form of currency. I know I’ll be eating out of these boxes the next few days and enjoying all the goodies inside.

To celebrate Chinese New Year, LEGO has released a small Year of the Sheep (40148) set. Unfortunately, it is/was only available in countries in Asia. If you really want one of these sets, there are some available on eBay and BrickLink.
