Back in January of last year the Exo Suit project by Peter Reid on LEGO CUUSOO hit 10,000 supporters and after the review stage, it was announced in October that it would become an official LEGO set. The LEGO designers have been hard at work and today, they have revealed the logo for the set as well as the release date of August 2014 courtesy of New Elementary. The AFOL team that was assembled to help plan and market the set along with LEGO employees consists of Peter Reid, Tim Goddard, Andrew Hamilton, Jeremy Williams, Drew Maughan, Tim Johnson, Julie Greig, Yvonne Doyle, and Ian Greig.

The team went on a two day workshop in Stansted, UK back in January and March to discuss how the set would be presented. Andrew Hamilton has built a model of what the meetings looked like below. Read more on what happened during the meetings over on New Elementary. I can’t wait to see the final product in the next few months!

TV Guide has released an image of next week’s double issue of their listings and on the cover features Marge Simpson as a LEGO minifigure but with a totally different face. Hopefully, the faces won’t be like that in the show.

LEGO The Simpsons Series Collectible Minifigures (71005)

There have been reports that the LEGO The Simpsons Series Minifigures (71005) are starting to hit shelves early at various retailers such as Walmart and now Toys R Us. The official release date for the minifigures is still two weeks away on May 1st. In preparation for the release, a reader who is also a fellow member of SandLUG has found some at LEGOLAND and provided a feel guide for the minifigures. Since feeling for the heads may be somewhat difficult, luckily the characters also have accessory pieces that can help out in identifying them. Thank you to Charlie for the guide.

Feel for 1×2 tile remote control and 1×1 round stud donut piece

4. Lisa
Feel for her saxophone.

5. Maggie
Feel for her teddy-bear.

6. Grampa

The past few days, we’ve been doing a few posts featuring LEGO ships from the Thousand Sunny from One Piece to the contest that ReBrick is hold to name a new LEGO Pirate ship that will be released early next year. Mr. Townsend over on Eurobricks has posted his creation, the 14 gun brig called the Pinnacle. It has taken him over one and half years to build and consists of about 3200 bricks. What’s cool about it is the custom sails that he has created using painting canvas dyed with tea. The amount of detail the yarn used to rig the sails is amazing. Check out more images of the Pinnacle below.
