LEGO November 2014 Monthly Mini Build Revealed

September 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

Even thought October isn’t even here yet, the LEGO Monthly Mini Build November 2014 build has been revealed. According to the October Store Calendar, we already know that next month’s build will be a Frankenstein Monster (40104). As you can see above, November’s mini build will be a rocket on a launching pad (40105). I’m very looking forward to this build and I believe it will be really popular among kids. The mini build event will be on November 4th and as usual, they will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

Update: Just a clarification, the Monthly Mini Builds are held on the first Tuesdays of every month. The next one will be held on November 4th.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Rainbow Batman

The chums over at Brick Fanatics have found two new characters that will be in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. Amazon UK has a Rainbow Character Pack DLC to go along with their pre-orders of the game. The Rainbow Character Pack includes playable versions of Rainbow Batman and Rainbow Raider.

Rainbow Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #241 and Rainbow Raider first appeared in Flash #286. These two characters can probably be unlocked in the game as you play through it.

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - Plastic Man Exclusive Minifigure

GameStop has finally listed the Plastic Man exclusive bonus minifigure listed on their website for LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. For those who were waiting until the bonus showed up on the site, there’s no need to wait any longer.

PlayStation 3
PlayStation 4
PlayStation Vita
Xbox 360
Xbox One
Nintendo Wii U
Nintendo 3DS

I’ve been told that if you already pre-ordered before the Plastic Man was listed on the website, there should be no problem in getting it. For those who will have the game shipped to their homes, you’ll be getting it with your package.

If you’re picking up in-store, be sure to be there on launch day because the minifigures are first come, first serve. I highly suggest if you’re going to reserve LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, do it ASAP and not at the last minute so the stores get their proper allocation. Stores usually have enough quantity for the people who pre-ordered and even a couple of extras for late reserves. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham will be available on November 11th.

LEGO Inside Tour 2015 Details Announced

September 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Brickset has reported that LEGO has published details about next year’s LEGO Inside Tour. If you haven’t heard of the LEGO Inside Tour, it takes you on an very unique tour where you can visit Ole Kirk Christiansen’s original house, meet the LEGO designers, as well as take a look at the Billund factory. Another perk that you get from the tour is the exclusive set that is given away to attendees. This year’s set was The LEGOLAND Train (4000014).

If you’ve tried to applying for a spot on the tour before, you know that it’s extremely difficult to get in since they sell out within minutes. The LEGO Inside Tour is even harder to get in than San Diego Comic Con and I know how hard it is to get tickets to SDCC.

Registration for LEGO Inside Tour opens at 1.00 PM on Monday 3 November 2014 (Danish time)

There are four different tours that potential attendees can get in to:

5 May – 8 May
19 May – 22 May
9 June – 12 June
16 June – 19 June

The price for the tour has increased by 10% from 13,000 DKK last year to 14,500 DKK ($2500, £1500, 1900€) this year. Also, travel accommodations to Billund is NOT included so you will have to arrange that yourself.

Upcoming LEGO Books from No Starch Press

September 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are a couple of new LEGO books coming out from No Starch Press in the next few months which I look forward to reviewing.

Art of the Brick is a book that showcases the work of Nathan Sawaya including going behind-the-scenes to see how he has made the creations. Nathan is a world-renowned artist and The Art of the Brick takes us into how he uses LEGO bricks as an art form.

Steampunk LEGO by Guy Himber is a book that I am very interested in reading. This book will showcase a number LEGO artists who has created Steampunk-type builds from cities to pirate ships to robots.

The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Idea Book takes a look a many different ways to build mechanisms with LEGO MINDSTORMES EV3 (31313). Each build will have a list of parts needed and colorful photos so you can easily build it yourself.

Beautiful LEGO 2: Dark by Mike Doyle continues off where the first Beautiful LEGO left off. Dark takes a look at LEGO builds that are categoried as “dark” which includes sci-fi to scary builds. There are also dark humor builds in the book as well.

LEGO has finally revealed what their big announcement was and it is indeed LEGO BIONICLE will be back in 2015. They’ve posted a video of the Mask of Creation which we already reported on last week so it wasn’t really a big secret considering LEGO accidentally spoiled it earlier this week.

LEGO BIONICLE makes their triumphant return after it was originally discountinued back in 2010 and being replaced by LEGO Hero Factory. BIONICLE was a very popular theme and was one of the themes that brought LEGO back from near bankruptcy (Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry).

There’s no doubt that many fans are happy are that this theme is returning next year. BZPower is also reporting that LEGO will be revealing the information about the sets at New York Comic Con on October 9th as well as on social media so stay tuned for that. We already know the set names so they’ll probably reveal some of them at NYCC.
