LEGO Ideas Exo Suit and Research Institute Availability

August 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 8 Comments

Not even a week after the newest LEGO Ideas sets were released, the inventory on the Exo Suit (21109) and the Research Institute (21110) have run dry. Not even a day after the release of the Exo-Suit, the amount that you could buy was changed from 2 to 1 and it went on backorder with it shipping in 30 days. The status of it has since been changed to “Temporary out of stock.”

If you followed my Facebook Page, you would’ve seen that the Exo Suit was flying off the shelves and the inventory they had were already gone by the end of the day. The rumor that the set would only have a single production run probably fueled the demand of the set even more on top of the already immense popularity of it. If you ordered it online, it’s a wait and see situation if you’ll be getting yours or not. I’ve had people comment saying that the set showed up at their house without a shipping confirmation email so there’s a chance that your order may have went through.

For the Research Institute, it is now listed as “Sold Out” on Shop@Home. If you wanted to pick up this set, it is probably too late now unless you can find them at your LEGO Store. I know mine (Fashion Valley, San Diego) will have some more coming in on Friday but I expect them to be sold very quickly. Unlike the Exo Suit, it was available for purchase a lot longer than … Continue

Two More LEGO Movies Planned by Warner Bros.

August 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As we reported earlier this year, The LEGO Movie 2 will have a release date of May 26, 2017 and the LEGO Ninjago Movie has a September 23, 2016 release date. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has plans for even more LEGO movies in the future.

Sources say that there are two untitled LEGO animated films for Memorial Day weekend for May 25, 2018 and May 24, 2019. They suggest that the 2018 movie could be the sequel to the planned LEGO Ninjago movie while the 2019 date could be part three of The LEGO Movie. However since those dates are still four years out, things could still change. We’ll keep tabs on this piece of news and update when there is more information in the future.

SDCC 2014 LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Panel Video

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham SDCC 2014 Panel

If you couldn’t attend the LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham panel at San Diego Comic Con 2014, you can now watch the panel on YouTube. It is pretty much what I recapped but without the footage and screenshots of the game and the swag. Although you don’t get to see the good stuff, it’s still worthwhile to watch the voice actors of the game as well as Adam West himself. ‘Nuff said.

August 5, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There have been reports that the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Shuttle (30246) polybag has started showing up at Target stores. It has 57 pieces and retails for $3.99 and can be found at the implulse buy section at the checkout aisles. It is pretty much a mini version of the Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle. The polybag may or may not be at your stores yet but it’s worth checking out. Thanks to James and Ben for emailing this in.

LEGO Store August 2014 Monthly Mini Build Event Monkey (40101) Review

August 5, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Earlier today was the August 2014 Monthly Mini Build at my LEGO Store in Fashion Valley. This month’s build was a Monkey (40101) and as you can see from the picture below, there were lots of families waiting for the event to start. If you were at the store last month for the Surf Van (40100), it was super crazy hectic. Fortunately for this month, the staff had a plan and they tried something different. To deal with the overcrowding issue, kids that were in line today were given the set and they had the opportunity to either build the set inside the store or just take it home. Many chose to leave but there were still a number of kids who wanted to build it, especially with my good friend Genevieve (see below).

On to the Monkey itself, it contains 46 pieces but there weren’t that many rare pieces. You do, however, get an extra whip which is nice. The monkey’s body is kinda awkward and to me it resembles more of E.T.’s body. The head is on a turntable piece so it can spin a full 360 degrees. It’s accessory is a banana.

Overall, the Monkey (40101) is just an okay set. It’s not as cool as last month’s build but it’s nice to have. September’s Monthly Mini Build will be a Racing Plane (40102). I also got to meet a bunch of new fans of the site as well people knew about the site but didn’t know the person behind it, … Continue
