July 7, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

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. As we predicted, the new LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets based on the Michael Bay movie are now available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home.

Turtle Van Takedown (79115)

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. Check the on-board computer to outwit it and accelerate to top speed to crash through the barricade. Open up the side doors to unleash the hidden flick missiles and fire the roof missiles to hit the gas tank and blow up the gate. When you find Michelangelo, release the mechanical arms holding him down on the stretcher and crank up the van’s Turtle Power to zoom away.

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

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Side-by-Side Comparison

July 5, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Brickset has posted a very nice image, shot by Ian Grieg (Bluemoose), of a side-by-side comparison of the original design of the Exo Suit and the official LEGO Ideas (21109) design. As you can see, the one that we’ll be getting is a little taller and it uses ball joint for the legs. The torso is roughly about the same size although the official one has a rollcage type of design for the pilot seat which I appreciate. Some things that are present in the official Exo Suit that is not on the original one are the pipes and hoses in the back which gives it a bulkier look. I also see a very interesting use of the ADU pistols.

Also note that the green Classic Space minifigures will have yellow heads and not a flesh ones. I’m definitely going to be picking up one when it’s available in August and I’m sure others may be getting multiples to build an army of them. What are your thoughts on the new Exo Suit 21109 after seeing the comparison of the two designs?

Update: Peter has uploaded a couple more images of the Exo Suit including both minifigures as well as the turtle robot.

LEGO Legends of Chima: CHI, Tribes, and Betrayals DVD Review

July 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

A few days ago, I was contacted by a representative from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and I was sent a review DVD copy of the upcoming LEGO Legends of Chima: CHI, Tribes, and Betrayals Season 1 Part 2. The DVD includes the second half of Season One of the animated TV show and continues from the first half of season DVD set named The Lion, the Crocodile, and the Power of CHI!. CHI, Tribes, and Betryals consists of the last 10 episodes of Season One and is also split into two DVDs. The first disc has Lennox printed on the disc while the other has Winzar printed on it. The total runtime of all the episodes is 220 minutes. The languages available are English, French, and Spanish with subtitles in English and French only.

The battle for the Chi still rages in Chima. Laval the Lion keeps struggling to reunite the tribes and to restore his friendship with power-crazed Crocodile crown prince Cragger. But Cragger’s cruel sister Crooler has lost faith in her brother, and now allies with the Wolves to dominate Chima. The Wolves are ruthless in their raids, and soon they control the Chi, but Chis meant to be shared, and the delicate balance of the land is offset. Laval, Eris and Gorzan must come up with increasingly desperate plans, reclaim the Chi, and keep the earthquake – and windstorm-plagued land together. Even worse, as the conflict draws closer to its inevitable conclusion, new unknown forces from beyond Chima begin to stir.
