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

Early last month, we reported that ReBrick was having a contest called “Name That Ship” to name the next LEGO Pirates ship. 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

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.
