A Closer Look at The LEGO House

June 4, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Earlier today, LEGO shared a concept video of the design for The LEGO House which will be opening in Billund, Denmark in 2016. The new experience center will be 80 meters by 100 meters and will be about 30 meters tall. From the top view as well on the inside, visitors can see a building that looks like giant LEGO bricks stacked “in a creative way to create an imaginative experience both outside and inside.”

There will be lots things to see and do including exhibition areas, a cafe, a LEGO store, and a public square which is all packed into 7,600 square meters of land. The LEGO House will be built in collaboration between the LEGO Group, the LEGO Foundation, and KIRKBI A/S. Once finished, the LEGO Group will manage the daily operations. LEGO estimates that the new building will attract 250,000 visitors annually. Check out the video below to see more of The LEGO House.

More LEGO Minecraft Sets To Be Released?

June 3, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Hungarian site, KockaMania, is reporting that there will be two more LEGO Minecraft sets to be released in the future. There’s no official announcements about this yet about the details of the sets or release dates as of this writing so we’re just going to treat this as rumors for now.

LEGO 21105 – Minecraft II
LEGO 21106 – Minecraft III

With the first Minecraft (21102) set on LEGO CUUSOO gaining enough supporters in a very short amount of time, LEGO knew that they had a success on their hands. After the release of the sets on the retail market, LEGO had quickly sold out their initial 10000 set inventory for a period of time. We would sometimes find them at online retailers but they ran out of stock after finding out about them. LEGO then announced that they will be producing more sets to cover the demand and right now, the set is still available on Shop@Home. Now we hear that there may be new sets to add to the initial set. This also means that Minecraft will be the first set on CUUSOO to have additional sets which we’re excited to see. This possibly opens the door to other LEGO CUUSOO projects that have passed the review stage to have more expansion sets in the future instead of being a one-and-done kind of thing.

There are quite a few new polybags that have been revealed that could be released this year. In the month of July, LEGO will be observing the summer season with a LEGO Creator Hot Dog Cart polybag (40078). VIPs will be able to get it FREE with purchases of $75 or more. There’s no word on how the other polybags will be distributed.

LEGO Creator Christmas Tree (30186) – will probably be available around the winter holiday season.
LEGO City Lawnmower (30224) – looks pretty interesting especially the front blades.
LEGO City Coast Guard Seaplane (30225) – another addition to the water area of the city.
Fall Scene (40057) – shows the clean up of falling leaves. A decent looking polybag with a pretty good piece count of 72 pieces.
Geoffrey the Giraffe (40077) – Toys R Us exclusive.
BMW (40200) – Not much information on this but is distributed in conjunction with the German company.
