LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII Polybag (10242)

There are some new instructions on LEGO’s database of a new polybag that will probably be released as a gift with purchase item later this year, possibly in August, the LEGO Creator Mini Cooper MK VII Polybag (40109). It looks to have a similar size to the Mini Volkswagen T1 Camper Van Polybag (40079) which is a miniature-sized version of the 10220 set.

The larger MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) will be available for LEGO VIP Members at brand stores and on Shop@Home from July 18-31 and to the general public on August 1. The set will consist of 1,077 pieces and retails for $99.99.

LEGO Inside Tour 2014 Exclusive Set Revealed

June 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO LIT 2014 Exclusive: 4000014 LEGOLAND Train chiukeung. All Right Reserved

Every year, LEGO holds a special event called the LEGO Inside Tour in Billund, Denmark for a very few select fans. Registration for the tour usually sells out minutes after it is open for potential attendees and costs 13,000 DKK or about $2400 per person, not including airfare. If you’re one of the lucky ones who get to attend the event, you are given an ultra-exclusive set to take home with you. For 2014, the LEGO Inside Tour exclusive set is The LEGOLAND Train (4000014).

The set was designed by Steen Sig Andersen and it represents the train that went around the perimeter of LEGOLAND Billund. They are numbered to 80 per tour and there are four tours per year so around 320 sets were produced total. That’s still a lot less than other LEGO exclusives such as the ones from San Diego Comic Con. For the train enthusiasts, you’ll notice that the build uses the classic train building technique.

The New Elementary has done an in-depth review on it and you can see more images of the set from CK Tsang (chiukeung). We’ll probably be seeing some of the sets hitting eBay very soon and hardcore fans will likely be paying a hefty price for it.

LEGO Mixels Staying For the Long-Term?

June 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Jason over on The Brick Show is reporting that the highly popular LEGO Mixels sets will be staying for the long-term. He notes from Brickworld Chicago 2014 that the news comes from an “extremely reliable” source and considering that the guys over on that channel do get sets to review early from LEGO, I wouldn’t be surprised that the information is true.

The Series 2 sets have recently just hit the shelves and Series will be released later this year but the word is that there will be more series, even beyond the 4th series, and they will be around for “quite a while.” There’s no other information at this time about the future of the LEGO Mixels them but we’ll definitely be reporting it as soon as we hear something.
