LEGO Marshmallow Peeps

Today is Easter Sunday and fans in the LEGO community have gotten into the Easter spirit including Sean and Steph Mayo (Siercon and Coral). They have created a LEGO version of the Marshmallow Peeps as their Iron Builder entry using the yellow sloped curve piece.

Legohaulic has also created a box of Peeps using the same yellow 1×2 curved slope and one of the chicks even has its head bitten off. These two entries are very cool especially considering today is Easter and the entries are very well-timed.

April 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Club has published a couple of new free LEGO building events that will be happening early next month. First up is a “Build your own Star Wars Starfighter” event at all Toys R Us stores on May 3rd from 12-2pm. Kids ages 5 and up will be able to build a LEGO Star Wars Mini TIE Fighter and a Mini X-Wing, similar to the one you would get in an advent calendar.

The other building event is the LEGO Store Monthly Mini Model Build. For May, you can make a cute little dragon that breathes fire. Like with every monthly mini build, the event starts at 5pm but families usually line up for it way earlier than that. Quantities are limited and are available while supplies last.
