The LEGO Super Friends Project by Jon Lazar

August 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Super Friends Project Completed

There are many people in the LEGO community who do custom minifigures and accessories. What I haven’t seen before (as of this writing) are custom mini-dolls from the LEGO Friends line but Jon Lazar has changed that. What he has done is he has created Super Hero/Villain characters using the mini-dolls from the Friends line and has dubbed them The LEGO Super Friends Project.

During the month of July, he has created an unique character each day and as a result, there are a total of 31 heroes and villains that resemble their comic book counterparts remarkably well. I especially like some of the X-Men characters like Rogue, Psylocke, and Jubilee. If you want to purchase some of them, Jon does have some of them on Etsy or you can commission him to do some. Check out the images of the characters below.

LEGO Jurassic World Sets Confirmed

August 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this month, we reported that there may be some LEGO Jurassic World sets coming out in 2015. This was from an interview that Chris Pratt did with The Empire Film Podcast in which he mentioned that he has seen the look of his character, Owen, in minifigure form.

Hulk_Smash on Eurobricks has seen some preliminary images of some of the 2015 LEGO sets and in those images, there will indeed be some LEGO Jurassic World sets. They did not mention how many sets will be in the wave or the details of them but at least there is now confirmation that there will be some sets in conjunction with the upcoming movie.

For those who will mention that Hasbro/KRE-O has the licence to produce building sets, it has also been reported that their license has expired or will be expiring soon.

BrickLink MOC Shop Now Live

August 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It appears that the new BrickLink MOC Shop is now live. If you haven’t heard about it, basically the MOC Shop is a place where people can show off their builds and other people can purchase them if they desire. BrickLink CEO Jay Kim has released a statement about the latest service as BrickLink’s modernization project aka BrickLink 2.0:

With MOC Shop, BrickLink is on a mission to bring the creativity of building back to the world by means of everyday commerce. We’re providing a platform where our sellers and buyers can meet a whole new category of “designers.” We not only sell loose parts and official LEGO sets but also custom designed sets built by the most innovative brick artists around the globe. Our platform seamlessly connects designs to active BrickLink stores that will source the parts based on preference or popular demand. We’ve built a system where anyone can share, review, and purchase parts and manuals all in a collective experience. We’ve introduced the one-click solution for you to buy packaged MOCs as gifts or even just for yourself.

Also as part of the BrickLink MOC Shop going live, the Seed Part Challenge #1 has begun as well. The part that is required for the contest is Medium Azure Vehicle or Mudguard 4 x 2.5 x 2 with Arch Round. You can read more about the rules of the Seed Part Challenge here. The submission phase ends in two weeks on September 5th.

August 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There is a postcard that is currently being sent out to LEGO VIP members which details some of the upcoming promotions that LEGO will be having the rest of the year. I haven’t received one yet but DadsAFOL on the Brickset Forums has posted an image of it a few days ago.

First up is something we’ve touched on a few times already. You can get the free exclusive Classic Spaceman Minifigure with purchases of $99 or more in September.

October is a month that many people have been waiting for. October marks the return of Double VIP Points! During the whole month at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, you can get $5 for every $50 you spend. If you’ve been holding off on your larger purchases, October may be the month that you can get the most value from.

For November, LEGO again will have their version of Black Friday with their “Brick” Friday event. VIPs will be able to get a number of sets at discounted prices as well as a free holiday Winter Skating Scene set with purchases of $99 or more. There are no images of the set yet but we’ll report it once they become available.

Upcoming LEGO CLUB Magazine Subscribers Changes

August 21, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Keith Severson of the LEGO CEE Team recently shared the following information to LEGO Ambassadors regarding the free LEGO CLUB Magazine. Starting in September in parts of Europe, CLUB members who are older than 13 years old will no longer be enrolled in the subscription. In November, all of Europe will be subjected to the same regulation and in 2015, the rest of the world will be following the same rules.

The magazine will now focus its distribution to children 12 years old and younger. AFOLs who still want the magazine can get it at LEGO Stores although it’s a slight inconvenience. For me, I mostly enjoy the different comic that are included in the magazines.

Check out the email that was sent out below and leave a comment to share your thoughts on this change. Although I’m not a LEGO Ambassador, maybe LEGO can see some of the readers’ comments and pass them along.

I have recently have had a dialog with the LEGO CLUB team. They are taking a new step in the CLUB Magazine which is resulting in some changes, specifically affecting adult subscribers.

Coming in the September release in EUC (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) all CLUB members who are older than 13 years old will receive a notice that it is their last subscription. Then in November it will be all of Europe (November will be the 2nd launch in EUC, so DE, AT and CH only) and then starting in 2015 it will be global. The CLUB magazine will focus its
