May 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last year, we were introduced to the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles which was a four part animated series on Cartoon Network. We were also introduced to a new character named Jek-14 who as a Force-sensitive Sith clone created by Count Dooku.

There is now a new Disney series that is renamed to LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles which is set to air this Saturday on Disney Channel at 9pm ET/PT and Sunday on Disney XD at 7pm ET/PT. Watch Disney XD users will get a first look at the episode tomorrow, Friday May 2nd. The New Yoda Chronicles has the same kind humor as previous LEGO Star Wars shows. The first episode is titled “Escape from the Jedi Temple.”

As seen in the trailer, the Emperor debuts his new theme — “The Imperial March” — and doesn’t react well at its lukewarm reception. Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Yoda, and the entire gang (including a blaster-toting C-3PO) are back, ready to take on Darth Vader and the Empire.

Last year, it was rumored that The LEGO Group was negotiating a licensing agreement with 20th Century Fox to produce sets based on The Simpsons animated cartoon series. Some people in the LEGO community applauded this move while others did not approve of this. Fast forward to this year, LEGO released The Simpsons House (71006) back in February and today, LEGO has released a line of LEGO Minifigures based on the popular TV series. The official name for this series is LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005).

Today on their blog, they have announced the winner of the contest is legobuffproductions with the new pirate ship called The Brick Bounty. He will receive a signed version of the set when it is available in 2015. The criteria used to pick the winner was that the name was:

In line with the values and identity of the LEGO brand.

Solid ties to the heritage of classic LEGO Pirate ships.

Appealing across genders, age, and languages.

Now the speculation begins on what the Pirate ship looks like as well as if there will be more coming out for the Pirates theme.

The Simpsons LEGO Episode “Brick Like Me” Extended Sneak Peek

May 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Hulu has another extended sneak peek at the The Simpsons LEGO episode, “Brick Like Me.” This 2 minute video shows a lot more of what will be happening in the show including Homer being classified as a fellow “AMFOP,” Adult Male Fan of Princesses, by Comic Book Guy when he goes in to purchase the Perky Patty’s Princess Shop set for Lisa. He touches the box and sees a vision where everything is the normal Simpsons animations. From the looks of it, the real world is the LEGO world and he has to figure out why he has the visions of the alternate universe. Brick Like Me is only a couple of days away now and I’m pretty excited about it the more I see clips of it.

LEGO Ideas Now Live

April 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week, we reported that LEGO CUUSOO would be replaced with LEGO Ideas. Starting today, LEGO CUUSOO is a thing of the past and LEGO Ideas is now live. You can easily import your CUUSOO account and it links to your LEGO ID. One new thing that I noticed is that you can earn points and badges which they call Clutch Power. The more things you do on LEGO Ideas, the more Clutch Power points you can earn and the more badges you can earn. Take a look around LEGO Ideas and let us know in the comments what you think of it.
