LEGO Store October 2014 Monthly Mini Build Event Frankenstein Monster (40104) Review

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The first Tuesday of the month is here again and that means LEGO Brand Stores held the October 2014 Monthly Mini Build. For this month, it is a Halloween themed build with the Frankenstein Monster (40104). My store was extra busy today considering that it is Double VIP Points month. Also this month is also the release of the Series 12 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71007) and many people were trying to feel for the ones they want. As you can see from the images, it was pretty packed.

For the mini build itself, the Frankenstein Monster is a very simple build. You start at the legs and build up to the head. There is no special building techniques or any articulation on the model whatsoever. It seemed that many kids enjoyed the model because Halloween is coming up and it’s something they can use to decorate their house with.

It doesn’t say on the November 2014 LEGO Store Calendar but next month’s build will be a cool Rocket on a launching pad (40105).

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Unannounced polybags seem to be running amuck the past couple of days with another one showing up today. This new polybag is the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Rocket Raccoon (5002145) and it appears that it is from an upcoming Toys R Us promotion. It features Rocket Raccoon in his Guardians of the Galaxy outfit as well as the potted sapling Groot. There is also a small sticker sheet with three Nova Corp logos and three Ravagers logos. The Rocket Raccoon is the same minifigure that was in the San Diego Comic Con 2014 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Rocket’s Warbird.

There’s no word on how to get the polybag at this time but you can pick it up on eBay. There have been rumors that the Rocket Raccoon polybag (5002145) will come with the Guardians of the Galaxy Blu-Ray/DVD release at TRU. We’ll keep you updated. Thanks to David for the heads up.

October 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With The Goonies 30th Anniversary coming up in 2015, Lyonblood’s idea of The Inferno has just achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on One-Eyed Willy’s pirate ship that was inside the cavern.

The project also includes all the Goonies as minifigures with the Inferno. The ship itself has playability features with it such as removing the top deck to reveal some details underneath.

The Inferno now joins the Avengers Helicarrier, the Labrinth Marble Maze, and the F7A Hornet in the third 2014 LEGO Review Stage. Congrats to Lyonblood for the achievement. Now everyone do the Truffle Shuffle!
