First Image of LEGO Star Wars Rebels Inquisitor Minifigure

August 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Jedi News has posted in image of what appears to be the Inquisitor minifigure from the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels line. The trailer scene appeared on Disney XD showing the Inquisitor along with a few Stormtroopers escorting Ezra Bridger somewhere.

A few weeks ago, we reported on a rumored list of LEGO Star Wars 2015 sets and there will be a number of Star Wars Rebels sets in the wave. The Inquisitor minifigure will most likely be in one of these sets and my guess would be the Imperial Troop Transport (75078).

Check out the comparison of the minifigure and the animated version below to see the similarities between them. More details of the 2015 LEGO Star Wars sets as they become available.

The holiday season is just around the corner and images of the new LEGO Seasonal sets have started to surface. Brickset has revealed the Halloween Bat (40090) which have been reported to be showing up at various LEGO Brand Stores. It contains 156 pieces and most likely will probably retail for $9.99. In the instructions booklet for the Halloween Bat shows another Seasonal set which is the Thanksgiving Turkey (40091). Both sets are similiar to the Seasonal sets that we’ve gotten earlier this year including the Valentine’s Day Teddy Bear (40085) and the Easter Bunny (40086).

August 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Back in April, we reported that there will probably be a LEGO Pirates theme coming in 2015. The information came from ReBrick where they held a “Name That Ship” contest to name one of the new pirate ships.

New information coming out of Eurobricks from David Thomsen is a list of the new LEGO Pirates sets which also includes the winner of the naming contest, The Brick Bounty. He also mentions that the release date for the sets is April 2015 although that could change. There may also be some store exclusive sets that aren’t listed as well. The pricing is in New Zealand Dollars but they’ve been converted to US Dollars to give you an estimate of what they could go for.

Shipwreck Defense (70409) – 17.99 NZD/$12 USD
Soldiers’ Outpost (70410) – 39.99 NZD/$20 USD
Treasure Island (70411) – 39.99 NZD/$20 USD
Soldiers’ Fort (70412) – 59.99 NZD/$40 USD
The Brick Bounty (70413) – 179.99 NZD/$90 USD

The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming Press Release

August 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, No Starch Press sent us a press release for The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming. You can also pre-order the book on Amazon. Check out the press release below:

The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming—New from No Starch Press

New book unlocks the power of the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 programming language

San Francisco, CA, August 26, 2014—The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 system makes it easy for anyone to build and control robots. LEGO’s block-based and colorful EV3 programming language is great for first-timers, but it has more powerful features than its user-friendly interface might suggest.

In the upcoming book The Art of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Programming (No Starch Press, $34.95, 276 pp., Sept 2014, ISBN 9781593275686), software engineer Terry Griffin offers a beginner-friendly, in-depth guide to the EV3 language. An update to Griffin’s highly regarded Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming, this new book teaches readers the basic building blocks and then launches into more sophisticated programs. Readers begin by writing functions that control their robots’ movement, sensors, and sounds and then move on to programming more complex behaviors that allow their robots to follow lines, detect objects, and navigate mazes.
According to No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock, “The EV3 programming language is remarkably approachable but also surprisingly deep. Griffin’s new book will show any serious EV3 programmer how to unlock the real power of EV3. Competitive MINDSTORMERs will love this book.”

In The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming, readers learn how to:

Make robots react to different environments

The LEGO Movie HISHE Alternate Ending

August 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Back in May, there was a video by How It Should Have Ended (HISHE) in collaboration with Brotherhood Workshop which featured The LEGO Movie. They have done another video for The LEGO Movie which shows an alternate ending to what happened to President/Lord Business after Emmet and the other Master Builders saved the day. Again, it’s pretty funny to see what Brotherhood Workshop has put together. Check out the video below.

LEGO has a press release detailing all the activities that will be happening at FAN EXPO Canada 2014 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from August 28-31.

The first public screening for Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary will be held on Saturday, August 30 at 5pm in Room 701A. Attendees can pretty much watch the movie for free at the event. It will be showing in theaters early next year as mentioned at the SDCC panel.

Attendees can also see life-size LEGO models which probably will be the same ones we saw at SDCC.

There will also be themed LEGO giveaways each day of the convention starting Friday. These aren’t the same ones that were given out at SDCC but some other promo items for the themes. No word on what these items are at this time.

Finally, the LEGO booth will be selling The Ghost exclusive set. It is the same set from SDCC except that you get a Kanan Jarrus minifigure instead of Chopper.
