LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Official Box Images

July 8, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) is still a few weeks away from the official release but a few sites are fortunate enough for get their review copies from the LEGO Community Engagement and Events (CEE) team already. I’m part of group of people who are currently waiting to get our hands on the Exo Suit on August 1st. However, I can still tease you guys with images of the box, courtesy of Brickset.

We first saw images of the box when the Exo Suit was first revealed but it was only a blurry picture and now we can clearly see it. On front of the box, we can see a few of the things that we already knew were going to be included with the set such as the Exo Suit, the two minifigures, and the turtle but on the back, it shows that we also two yellow barrels and a platform.

We’ll be doing our own review once we get the set is available next month so stay tuned for that.

Brickset LEGO Minifigure and Brick Review

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

A few weeks ago, we reported that Brickset has teamed up with MinifigForLife Print Studio to create a small range of Brickset branded LEGO minifigures and bricks for sale. Today I received my order of one of the male white/blue minifigures and a white 1×8 brick.

The minifigure is your standard LEGO minifigure but the Brickset logo is what makes it stand out. You get your red, yellow, and green 1×1 plate logo printing on the center of the torso and Brickset right underneath.

The 1×8 white brick also has the same printing except that the wording is next to the logo and not underneath it. The brick makes a nice addition to your name badge bricks that you get from various LEGO conventions and it’s a great way to show your support for Brickset and what it does for the LEGO community.

Overall, the printing is very good on both the minifigure and the brick as they are printed at 1440dpi on a Roland UV printer. If you look closely, you can see that the printing is slightly raised but not much. It cost me about $17 for both the minifigure and brick and it took about 10 days for them to get here which is pretty fast considering that it ships from the UK.

There is another version of the 1×8 brick in blue for sale as well as various combinations of both the male and female minifigures so go here and check out the selection they have.

On the July 2014 Store Calendar, it was listed that LEGO would be releasing some new sets yesterday but show showed an image of the Mutation Chamber Unleased (79119) set which has been out for a while now.

Vern and Raphael are speeding through the city streets in the souped-up Turtle Van to rescue Michelangelo, but the Foot Soldier has lowered the barricade gate to block the road.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Will Have Single Production Run

July 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

With the reveal of the LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109), LEGO Designer Mark Stafford, aka Lego-Nabii, has been giving some insight of the set on Reddit including the development of the set and why he used certain LEGO elements. One very important thing about the set that Mark notes is:

This is currently a single production run – I’m not sure of the figures – but if you see it and you want it then buy it, at the moment when it’s gone it’s gone for good. Don’t be disappointed. (Not trying to do a hard sell here, this is currently the plan!)

At the moment the plan is for a single run. Don’t dawdle on this one! (sorry.)

What that means is that the Exo Suit (21109) will only be sold once and once LEGO has run out of stock, then that’s it. The LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) also had a single production run and we’ve all saw what happened with that so don’t hesitate to get it once it becomes available for purchase in August.

For some of us, we’ll be getting multiples of the set to build an army of them and given the popularity of it so far, I’m pretty sure that it will be sold out fairly quickly. There’s no mention on how many sets are produced but just to give a comparison, the Mars Curiosity Rover sold out in a matter of days here in the US. The Exo Suit will be available both on Shop@Home … Continue
