LEGO Space Police II Galactic Chief (6813) Review

January 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Recently, I found a couple of my brother’s old LEGO Space sets we played with before I went into my “Dark Ages.” I’ll be doing a short 3-part series of these small sets. Today we have the Space Police II Galactic Chief (6813). It was released in 1993 and sold for $2.99.

Minfigure

The minifigure is named Captain Magenta and he is the Galactic Chief of the Space Police. His torso is exclusive to the minifigure and has the Space Police logo printing. The arms are green as well as the legs. He also wears red epaulets to signify that he is the Chief. The head shows the Chief wearing a headset. His helmet is black with a green visor. His accessory is a white microphone.

Build

The build itself is pretty simple. At only 23 pieces, the set was one of the smallest LEGO Space Police sets that was released 20 years ago. The front has a 3×2 sloped brick and has the words Space Police printed on it. The green windshield doesn’t cover the sides of the cockpit. Speaking of the cockpit, there are no controls so I’m not sure how Capatin Magenta is piloting the ship. Towards the back are a couple of thrusters on each side of the ship.

Results

The Galactic Chief is a pretty cool nostalgic set. It also has some good swooshability. I remember flying it around as a kid and chasing other LEGO cars that I made. Although this was the only Space Police II set I have, … Continue

Minifig Theater Episode 1 – The Dark Knight

January 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Brian Anderson aka BrianKAnimation, known for his LEGO animation videos including LEGO Breaking Bad The Video Game Parody and LEGO The Last of Us, has recently posted the first episode of Minifig Theater. Minifig Theater was teased a few months ago and is an animated web series which takes epic moments in popular culture and is reenacted using LEGO minifigures.

In Episode 1 – The Dark Knight, the video features the police interrogation scene of Batman and the Joker. There are comical scenes throughout much like what TT Games does with their video games. You may also find some unexpected scenes towards the end which I thought was pretty hilarious if you’ve watched the movies the video was based on. The video was created with Maya & After Effects. It was very nicely created and I’m looking forward to seeing more episode in the future. Enjoy!

The LEGO Movie Polybag Images Revealed

The LEGO Movie Micro Manager Battle Polybag (30281)

A few days ago, we reported there were a couple of The LEGO Movie polybags coming out later this year but there were no images at that time. Brickset’s database has been updated and we can now see what the polybags look like for both the Micro Manager Battle (30281) and the Super Secret Police Enforcer (30282). The Micro Manager Battle comes with Wyldstyle with a pair of nunchucks and a Micro Manager and the Police Enforcer comes with a Robo SWAT minifigure with a hover vehicle. It looks to be an easy way to get an army of Robo SWAT minifigures. There’s still no word on how both polybags will be distributed.

While checking out Toys R Us Hong Kong’s Facebook Page of the LEGO Star Wars TC-4 polybag, they have also posted a poster of the minifigures in the first wave of 2014 sets minus the Microfighters. There’s no word at this time if the poster will be given away here in the States.

As we reported a few days ago, Toy R Us Hong Kong was giving out a random LEGO Star Wars polybag for the first 150 people who purchase more HK$1200. Today, bkctsang on Eurobricks has provided a clearer image of the new TC-4 polybag. There’s still no word yet if the polybag will be given out during the LEGO May the Fourth promotion or not. As mentioned before, the TC-4 was owned by Senator Palaptine and was supposed to show up in Episode I: The Phanton Menace but the scene was cut out.

Last month, we reported that EB Games Australia was taking pre-orders for The LEGO Movie video game. As a bonus, they were also including an exclusive Western Emmet minifigure with the game. Gamestop has recently updated their site to also include the Emmet minifigure with their pre-orders. The game will be available February 7th on all major game systems.

The LEGO Movie Event At LEGOLAND California Resort

January 3, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

There are some big things happening at LEGOLAND California Resort at the end of January and into February. An anonymous reader has sent me some unannounced information on what will be going on at the park. Since The LEGO Movie will be released the first week of February, the staff at LEGOLAND has been working hard to get the park ready for its premiere next month.

First, the park will have a big event at the end of this month to promote the movie and will have several of the cast members attending as VIP guests including Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Channing Tatum, and more. They are also rumored to be back again for the premiere.

Secondly, the Playtown Theater is currently under renovations and will be changed to become a walkthrough attraction that will feature special figures, models, and more from The LEGO Movie.

The LEGOLAND California Hotel has been booked by Warner Brothers for executives and their families for them to stay and enjoy the festivities at the park.

Finally, the LEGOLAND Wardrobe department has constructed a costume character of Emmet and he will be making appearances at the park and taking pictures with visitors following the movie’s release and maybe even before then.

There are no dates at this time but we’ll be getting more information in the near future and we’ll be updating as soon as we get them. It looks like a very exciting time at LEGOLAND California and I look forward to visiting in the near future!

Update: There are … Continue
