LEGO The Hobbit Video Game Side Quest Character Pack DLC Revealed

March 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Automation Creations on Eurobricks has found an image of a DLC pack for the LEGO The Hobbit Video Game called the “Side Quest Character Pack.” This DLC has four characters including a Dwarf Merchant Lady, Vacation Saruman, Thranduil’s Elk, Girion, a Dwarf Soldier, and a River Troll. After doing some research on this Character Pack, it looks like it’s being offered online at some European online retailers when you pre-order the game. Over here, we have the Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure as the Gamestop pre-order bonus. So far no other retailers have any other bonuses for the game. Thanks to Kevin for the heads up.

Update: There are a couple more DLC packs that were found on the Eurobricks forum. Thanks to Nickk in the comments for the heads up.

First there is one called “The Big Little Character Pack” which has some characters as babies or little people such as Baby Smaug, Baby Gimli, Snow Troll, Spider, Stone Dwarf, and Bandobras “Bullroarer” Took.

The First Kiss video by Tatia Pilieva was about twenty strangers were asked to kiss for the first time. People got together even with the awkwardness and the video was very moving.

Antonio Toscano, known for his various stop-motion videos, has done a LEGO version of First Kiss using minifigures. Unlike the original video, there are a few comedic shots in his version as well. Check out Antonio’s video above and if you haven’t seen the original by Tatia, I’ve embedded that one below.

LEGO CUUSOO The Big Bang Theory Achieves 10,000 Supporters

March 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Are you a fan of The Big Bang Theory? If so, then you guys may be getting an official LEGO set in the near future. The reason is because The Big Bang Theory collaborative project by Alatariel and GlenBricker has achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. If Alatariel’s name sounds familiar, that is because they are the same person who created the Female Minifigure Set which also hit 10,000 supporters back in last June. That project is still being evaluated.

The BBT project represents Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter’s living room and also includes the whole gang including Howard, Bernadette, Amy, Penny, and Rajesh with Cinnamon. The living room has various details such as the Green Lantern’s lantern, the Rubik’s cube tissue box, a model of DNA, and a mini LEGO Death Star. The reason that this project has achieved the number of supporters needed is the fan base and because it’s been blogged by a number of high profile sites. Even the official Twitter account of The Big Bang Theory has tweeted about the project.

It now joins the LEGO Bird Project, the Modular Apple Store, the BTTF – Jules Verne Train, as well as the Doctor Who project, which hit 10k two days ago, in the first review stage in early May. Congratulations to Alatariel and GlenBricker for this achievement and it looks to be a very intereesting review in a few months. Believe in magic, you muggles!

Congratulations on 10,000 supporters, Alatariel and GlenBricker!

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40086) Review

March 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Spring is only a week away that that means Easter is also almost here. Much like LEGO acknowledging Valentine’s Day with the Teddy Bear (40085), they have released a Seasonal Easter Bunny (40086) as well. This set has 106 pieces and also retails for $9.99.

The build of the Easter Bunny is pretty straight-forward. It is built from the bottom up and there are no real surprises. It has similar arms as the Teddy Bear for it to hold the brick-built carrot. Unlike the bear, the legs do not move at all. The only articulation it has is the arms and the ears.

Results

The Easter Bunny isn’t as cute as the Valentine’s Bear but it’s a neat little set. Plus they go well next to each other. It is now available at LEGO Brand Stores as well as on Shop@Home for a limited time. If you do not know, LEGO only sells these types of sets only a few times in a year to match the season. Once the time has passed, you probably can only find them on the secondary market. So if you’re liking the Easter Bunny, don’t hesitate to pick it up pretty soon.

LEGO Minecraft Microworld: The End (21107) Image Revealed

March 14, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

The LEGO Minecraft Facebook Page has revealed an image of the newest Microworld set in the line, The End (21107). The set contains two levels of tan pieces which represent the End Stone. There are also some Obsidian pillars on the top level as well as the brick-built Ender Dragon. On the bottom level are a few of the neutral humanoid mobs called Endermen. Like with the previous LEGO Minecrafts sets, The End looks to be modular but is mostly open-faced on the bottom level. There’s no word on the number of pieces but it will be available in the summer. The Minecraft team is also working on minifigure-scale Co-Build set but there hasn’t been any updated information for that set since last year.
