LEGO Mobile Suit Gundam by Orion Pax

July 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

As a fan of LEGO and Mobile Suit Gundam, Alex Jones, aka Orion Pax, has hit the spot with his creation of of the Mobile Suit Gundam RX-78-2. During Alex’s trip to Taipei this year, he caught Gundam fever along with millions of us. The RX-78-2 is one of the most recognizable mobile suits in the series and this LEGO version of it is absolutely remarkable.

Alex has also created a number of accessories to go along with with the suit including a “beam” saber, the RX*M-Sh-008/S-01025 shield, and even a hanger bay for it. All the details are so realistic that you wouldn’t think that they’re made out of LEGO. Head over to Alex’s website to see more images of his creation.

LEGO The Hobbit Smaug Teaser

July 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

LEGO earlier on their Facebook Page posted an image of a code 4FYKKB for the LEGO The Hobbit video game to unlock Narzug. This code has been out for a while now but the interesting thing is there is also a glimpse of a physical version of LEGO Smaug’s wing, tail, and feet. According to some reports, Smaug would be in set 79018 where it depicts the final scenes from the Desolation of Smaug and Brickipedia has him in a set called “King Under the Mountain.”

There’s still no definite news at this time of this wave of The Hobbit sets outside of online retailers having placeholders. This is just early speculation but I can venture a guess that Smaug will look somewhat similar to the dragon from the LEGO Castle Dragon Mountain (70403) but with a repaint. Hopefully we get some news on these new Hobbit sets soon and if so, they’ll probably be released later this year/early next year.

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.
