LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 13 (71008) Review

January 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

A new year and a new wave of LEGO Collectible Minifigure has been released, Series 13 (71008). The packaging for this series is more of a lime green color. Like with recent minifigures, they will retail for $3.99 each and there are 16 to collect.

Like with Series 12, Series 13 will be collaborating with the LEGO Minifigures Online video game where you can unlock the corresponding minifigure in-game but that’s not all. In one of our previous posts, we also talked about the “Collect & Win” thing LEGO has going with Series 13. Not only will you be able to unlock a character, there’s also a chance to win in game currency with free diamonds, looting Super Chests, 3 days of membership, or gaining Stars faster. If you enter your email, you can also try your luck to win some LEGO sets straight from the company. The more codes you enter, the more chances there are to win.

As with previous the past couple of series of minifigures I’ve been collecting, I’ve been using the feeling method to find the correct minifigures. You can read more about it on our feel guide post.

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

Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California is almost here and FBTB has information on how you can participate in their annual Fan Gallery in the area on top of The Model Shop. If you haven’t attended Star Wars Days before, the Fan Gallery is pretty much a collection of Star Wars themed MOCs that local builders bring to show the public. You can check out the builds from last year here.

There are some incentives this year to volunteering your time and/or bringing a MOC. For just volunteering, you can get a Star Wars Days 2015 T-shirt, free entry to the park and lunch for the day of your shift. Each shift consists of a total of four hours.

For bringing a MOC, you get free entry to the park for both days of the event as well as lunch, and “exclusive” minifigure, a discount coupon for The Big Shop (20% off of up to 5 items), and a pair of complimentary passes to the park for future use.

Also for bringing a MOC, there are also prizes for best builds in a particular category (Empire Strikes Back Vignettes, Star Wars Comic Bricks, Star Wars Cube Dudes Diorama, Evolved Starfighters, and The General Category). To read more on those prizes, head over to the FBTB link above to see what you could possibly win if you bring a MOC and it is chosen as a winner. You can also contact Ace if you have any questions.

LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure Polybag (5001622) Review

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

Today we have a new review for a fairly older product. Way back in September of 2013, we reported on a new LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure (5001622) polybag that was given out with Shop@Home orders around that time. Now fast forward to the present time. If you made a $75 purchase last November or December, you would’ve received a free LEGO 2015 Wall Calendar which also included coupons to redeem this year for previously exclusive minifigures. For January, you can redeem the LEGO Shop Minifigure with any purchase.

The minifigure is the same one that you see prominently displayed on LEGO Shop@Home. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt with grey stripes across the arms and waist. He also has a name badge printing as well. The legs are plain black. For the head, he has a smiling expression. The reddish brown hair is spiky and is similar to the Sleepyhead from the Series 6 Collectible Minifigures (8827). What’s different about this promotional minifigure polybag from others is that it also includes a red 2×4 brick. This brick represents the big one that you usually see standing at LEGO Brand Stores.

Overall, the LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure (5001622) is a nice promotional polybag for both when it showed up unexpectedly with orders back in 2013 as well as now with the coupon. It makes a great minifigure if you’re making a LEGO Store MOC. If you missed out on it or aren’t able to get one because you don’t have the coupon from the 2015 Wall … Continue

The first polybag is the LEGO Friends Smoothie Stand (30202). It has been available already at Target but they decided to put it in the section. The 37 piece polybag retails for $3.99.

The other polybag Target has available is the new LEGO City Swamp Police Helicopter (30311). It features a new vehicle in the new 2015 City Swamp subtheme. This 51 piece polybag goes for $3.49.

LEGO Minifigure Box Set (5004076) Review

January 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Today we are taking a look at a little interesting product that popped up online last year as a Target exclusive. This is the LEGO Minifigure Box Set (5004076) which consists of four different minifigures from different LEGO themes. This little set was part of a Target promotion where you could get it free with a purchase of $50 or you could have just purchased the set outright for $15.

The first thing we can take a look of on the LEGO Minifigures Box Set is the packaging itself. It comes in a fairly small box with clear windows to show each of the minifigures included the set. The printing of each side of the cube corresponds to what type of theme the minifigure is in as well their accessories. Speaking of accessories, they are in the middle of the box in a plastic bag. The inside packaging also has the same background image as the outer minus the banners and accessories shown on the outside box.

Green Ninja Lloyd

The first minifigure in the LEGO Minifigures Box Set (5004076) is the LEGO Ninjago Lloyd Green Ninja in his Dragon Xtreme (DX) robe. What’s interesting about this new version of Lloyd is that he became the Green Ninja after the other ninjas already had their DX robes a year before. Like with all the DX outfits, you have the Dragon printing on the front of the torso and leg. On the back of his torso, you have some more printing of the Dragon head as well … Continue
