LEGO Legends of Chima Worriz Bike (30265)

Brickset has reported on a new LEGO Legends of Chima polybag (30265) featuring Worriz on a bike. The set was discovered on Russian site Mir Kubikov and the bike has a very similar look to the DC Universe Robin and Redbird Cycle (30166). It will fit in with the Summer 2014 wave of Chima sets and we can probably expect to see it here in the US later this year.

The new LEGO Ultra Agent sets are now available in stores and the one that really stood out for me was the Infearno Interception (70162). The set contains 313 pieces and retails for $29.99 for a $0.10/piece ratio. The box contains two numbered bags, an instruction booklet, and a small sticker sheet. With the Ultra Agents sets, LEGO is also promoting the FREE interactive story app on Google Play (Review).

RADiUS-TWC Acquires Rights to Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary

May 29, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Deadline is reporting that RADiUS-TWC has acquired worldwide rights, excluding France, Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Brazil, to the first official feature-length documentary about the world of LEGO, Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary. The film recently premiered last month at the Tribeca Film Festival with Daniel Junge and Kief Davidson directing and Jason Bateman narrating. RADiUS co-presidents Tom Quinn and Jason Janego notes, “We’ve been looking for a film that families can enjoy together, and BEYOND THE BRICK surpasses all of those expectations. The movie is an amazing ride and will appeal to Lego fans around the world.”

Beyond the Brick features a number of builders in the LEGO community including Alice Finch and her son, Thorin, who is seen in the first scene of the movie in their LEGO room. The film focuses on the impact of LEGO and the fan community, both kids and AFOLs, who share their love of the brick.

LEGO movies have been a hot commodity in recent months with The LEGO Movie grossing $461 million worldwide and with a sequel planned for May 2017. There’s also a report that a LEGO Ninjago movie will make its theatrical premiere in September 2016. It’ll be cool to finally be able to see Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary in theaters in the near future.

LEGO Legends of Chima Summer 2014 Ultrabuild Sets Not Available in North America

LEGO Legends of Chima Ultrabuild CHI Laval (70206)

I haven’t been following the LEGO Legends of Chima Ultrabuild sets since the official images were found last month but there is some news that people may not be happy about. BZPower reported earlier this month that the summer 2014 wave of the Ultrabuild/Constraction sets will not be released in North America. Andrew notes that the information came directly from LEGO so there’s no questioning that this piece of news is not a rumor. I know there are people in North America who are in this niche group and love to build these sets as well as Constraction MOcs and this is obviously devastating news to hear.

LEGO hasn’t given an explanation that I know about of why the Chima Ultrabuilds would not be sold over here but I speculate that poor sales of the previous Ultrabuilds may have been a factor. It’s a shame that people who want them here in the US have to purchase them from overseas and whatnot because the summer wave ones actually looked pretty cool. If you want a chance to win one of the sets, BZPower has been reviewing them and are doing giveaways for them. What are your thoughts on this revelation?

LEGO Ultra Agents Google Play App Review

May 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The new LEGO Ultra Agents sets are now available and LEGO is also promoting the free app along with the sets. The app has six different missions to complete, one for each of the Super Villains of the theme: Adam Acid, Tremor, Infearno, Toxikita, Psyclone, and Terabyte.

Each mission or episode consists of a comic that you read as well as interact with at certain scenes whenever a dropbox shows up on the upper-right hand side of the screen. Depending on the situation, you have three different tools you can use to figure out clues: x-ray, analyzer, and telephoto. If you use the correct tool, the beeping will get faster and faster. There are six clues to uncover for each comic and if you get all of them, you can unlock instructions for a mini-build using the corresponding set, if you have the set.

Also with each episode, there is a game that you can play or skip if you like. Complete the game perfectly and you can get three stars. An object of three of the games is to avoid obstacles while chasing down the villain. For Episode 2: Tremor Takedown, you have to shoot at Tremor three times in three different areas before time runs out. For the other two episodes, you have to correctly press the direction to match the arrow given. All the games aren’t too difficult and you can easily get three stars for every episode.

I’ve completed every episode to the fullest and it may seem there will be more … Continue
