LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Earlier this week, we reported that the band called The Fold was holding a contest and they gave fans the opportunity to be in their latest video, “Spinnin’ Out in Color.”
The Fold has released the music video which includes clips that were submitted by LEGO Ninjago fans. It’s cool to see them interacting with fans and allowing them to be in their video Check out the video for Spinnin’ Out in Color below and see if you see yourself in the video.
There are a couple of new LEGO Seasonal 2014 sets that have been released that may pique your interest. The first is the Halloween Set (850936). It consists of the Lord Vampyre minifigure, a casket from The Vampyre Hearse (9464), a spider, and a cardboard arch on the stand. This set is now available in LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.
The other LEGO Seasonal set is a Santa Set (850939). It has a Santa minifigure, a child minifigure which includes a wig hair piece so you can change the gender, a toy train, and a wintery cardboard arch on the stand. It looks like the Santa Set (850939) is now available in the UK and will be available here in the States in the upcoming months. Both sets will retail for $7.99 each.
Toys R Us stores will be holding an event on October 18th from 12-2pm for kids to building the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Bat-Signal. There’s nothing much to the build but it is on a turntable piece and the printed Batman logo radar dish is pretty rare since it’s only in one set, The Batcave (6860). Supplies are limited so get there early if you want in on the building event. I can’t stress enough how long these lines get especially at TRU stores where there’s only a small amount of sets given out. It also looks like it is a US only event.
The Avengers Helicarrier by Yo-Sub Joo is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Originally, the project was on created on LEGO Digital Designer and had a whopping 22,694 elements which was 272 x 144 studs (85.4 x 45.3 inches) and was by far one of the largest projects in LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas history.
On the official comments for passing 5,000 supporters, LEGO stated that the project should be revised as a smaller model to be considered as an official set since there was pretty much no way LEGO could produce a 22,000 brick set. The project was revised to reduce the size of the Helicarrier. The new dimensions are 47.2 x 27.7 inches and consists of 6,700 elements.
The Avengers Helicarrier is the first project to reach the Third 2014 LEGO Review Stage and it also holds the distinction of being the first project to reach 10,000 supporters after LEGO CUUSOO become LEGO Ideas. Congratulations to Yo-Sub Joo for this achievement.
The highly popular Blocks LEGO magazine which was first released a few months ago in the UK will now make its way to the US. They have just announced on their Facebook Page that Barnes and Noble stores will be stocking the magazine.
Before, we could purchase online and ship it over here but at pretty expensive shipping costs. Now that we can purchase the magazine locally, we don’t have to worry about that. Also, the first issue has been sold out at a majority of the stores in the UK so clearly there is a market for the magazine. Whether or not it will be the same here for the US remains to be seen but I look forward to reading it if I can find a copy.
There’s still no word yet on when Blocks magazine will be available at Barnes & Noble or how much it will go for at this time. More details as they come.
