November 5, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 34 Comments

Over at the LEGO Club, there is an inside scoop of the background story for the return of the Ninjago series. The last episode of the Masters of Spinjitzu series aired over a year ago and the “Rebooted” series should be returning sometime in December. Below is a synopsis of what to expect when Ninjago makes its long-awaited return.

It’s been a long time since the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd the Golden Ninja. While Lloyd tours Ninjago celebrating his victory, the original four ninja — Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane — have become teachers in Sensei Wu’s Youth Academy. Besides being bored in class all day, Kai and the rest of the ninjas dream of the days when they fought the forces of evil, but in the updated and technologically advanced world of Ninjago, there is no need for ninja any longer.

But that changes soon enough … trouble brews in New Ninjago City, famed inventor Cyrus Borg starts acting strange, and our four heroes get new weapons, new gear, and a new evil to fight!

With Nya, Kai’s sister, by their side, the ninja join forces once again to protect the people of Ninjago! Lloyd is back stronger than ever, and the evil Lord Garmadon is now the peaceful Sensei Garmadon! Join the adventure to see new friends and favorite heroes as the world of Ninjago is once again caught in a battle between good and evil!

November 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

It looks like the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets are starting to hit shelves at Toys R Us stores a little early. According to the website, the Nindroid MechDragon (70725) has a green check mark next to it saying it is sold in stores. If you’re looking to pick up the new Ninjago sets, you may want to call up your local Toys R Us store to see if they currently have them in stock or not. TRU has the set listed at $79.99 which is what we reported as the price a few weeks ago but no option to purchase online.

Enter the MechDragon! Sensei Garmadon and Lloyd are trying to escape with the Techno-Blade in Nya’s car, but Sensei Wu, who has turned evil, and the Nindroids are flying the MechDragon in hot pursuit. Drive clear of the MechDragon’s fast-spinning circular saw blades on the huge wings and dodge the missiles fired from the cannon. Evade its mechanical mouth, giant claws and dangerous whipping tail. Evil Wu is at the controls with two other armed Nindroids below ready to jump off into battle. Don’t let them capture the Ninja and imprison him in the hidden cell to power their MechDragon. Speed away in Nya’s car and fire the harpoon and unleash flick missiles from the hidden cannons to repel them. Includes 5 minifigures with weapons: Sensei Garmadon, Lloyd, Evil Wu, General Cryptor and a Nindroid.

LEGO Disney Princess Merida's Highland Games (41051)

Apparently, there a was an auction on eBay that ended yesterday for the new LEGO Disney Princess Merida mini-doll. You can see a closeup of Merida who wears a dark blue dress and carries her golden bow. The figure comes from Merida’s Highland Games (41051) which will be releasing next year. Some “lucky” winner of the auction paid $29.99 for it but the set will only retail for $19.99, go figure. Anywho, what are your thoughts of the Merida mini-doll after seeing closeup images of it?

LEGO Store Exclusive Holiday VIP Shopping Event

LEGO Store Exclusive Holiday Shopping Event

Today in the mail, I received a curious envelope featuring the solid red minifigure. Inside was in invitation to an exclusive Holiday shopping event for VIP members at the local LEGO Store. The shopping event is invitation-only and it allows me and one guest early access to the store to take advantage of special holiday offers as well as free gifts. I’m not sure what specials or gifts the store will be having but I’m curious to see. As to my knowledge of past LEGO “events,” not all VIP Members will be getting an invitation to the event (VIP Keychain). Only members who have spend a certain amount during a certain period will be able to join in on the festivities. Like with many special shopping events, there are restrictions. There’s a spending limit of $5000 and no more than five of each set to per person.
