LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Alternate Build Instructions

February 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Minisite

Thanks to Rich over at Brick Fanatics, we now have instructions for the alternate builds of the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets. These alternate builds were on the Turtles minisite but the link to them has been broken for a while now and I couldn’t find the instructions anywhere. LEGO is currently trying to resolve that. Fortunately, Kevin Hinkle has provided LEGO Ambassadors some PDFs of said builds. The only Turtle set missing from the list is the Turtle Lair Attack (79103).

Kraang Lab Escape (79100)
Shredder’s Dragon Bike (79101)
Stealth Shell in Pursuit (79102)
The Shellraiser Street Chase (79104)
Baxter Robot Rampage (79105)

Since I’ve already finished reviewing all the regular sets, I’ll turn my attention to these new builds in the near future and have them reviewed as well. You can download the PDFs here.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Available for Pre-Order on Amazon

February 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The very highly anticipated LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game that was announced last month is now available for pre-order on Amazon for many of the video game systems including the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, and the PC. The estimated release date for the game is October 31, 2013. There is no word yet if there are any exclusive minifigures included with the pre-order but given LEGO’s track record with recent releases, there’s a chance one might be included. Is anyone excited for the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game as I am?

February 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has recently released another polybag in the Legends of Chima line, Winzar’s Pack Patrol (30251). I found this set at a Target store in the Valentine’s section. It contains 38 pieces and retails for $3.99.

LEGO Star Wars The Yoda Chronicles The Rancor Pit Episode 1

February 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Apparently, The Yoda Chronicles isn’t a continuing storyline but a series of short stories split into a few episodes. The Umbara story seemingly has finished up last week, and this week we start the Rancor Pit story.

In the beginning, you can see Luke’s X-wing in front of Jabba’s Palace. Inside, Luke is trying to rescue Han Solo, who is still in carbonite, from Jabba the Hutt. Jabba springs the trap and Luke as well as the Gamorrean guard fall into the Rancor pit. They hear a loud roar coming from the direction of the gate and see Malakili coming out with a drumstick. He lures the Rancor to Luke and the Gamorrean. Luke force builds a trap door to hide from the Rancor. The beast grabs the Gamorrean and is about it eat him. C-3P0 panics and accidentally knocks slave Princess Leia into the pit too but she is still hanging on the chain. The Rancor roars at her and the story will continue next week.

One thing I noticed is the design of the Slave Leia minifigure. As you can see below, she has an updated bikini that is colored green. Her skirt also seem to have a bit more detail as well. The hair piece also is different from the Leia in the 2006 version of Jabba’s Sail Barge (6210). You can see the previous version of Leia here. Could the Leia we saw in the video be the redesigned version in the new Jabba’s Sail Barge (75020)?

Also, although this … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man 2013 Hands On

January 31, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In the past couple of days, we, along with YourCreativeFriends, reported there were new images of what appears to be new Iron Man minifigures from the 2013 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets. Now, YCF has gotten their hands on a couple of these minifigures and has done a early review of them.

For the Mark XLII suit, the helmet is the only only thing that’s the same as in the 2012 suits. The torso itself is mostly red but has gold printing for most of the front and about half in the back. The hands are also gold instead of red. The arc reactor is printed white. The front of the legs also has some of the gold printing. There is also some toe printing for the boots. What’s new about this version of Iron Man is his face printing. He has a confident expression on one side and a scared/worried expression on the other. Again, we believe the Mark XLII will be in the Malibu Mansion Attact (76006).

On the other suit, we still are not sure if it’s the Heartbreaker or another one. What we do know is that the helmet is new with some silver printing on the chin and blue eyes. The top of the helmet is also shaped a little different. The head is the same as in the 2012 versions. For the torso, the arc reactor is the same blue as the eyes and is strapped in with what looks to be a harness that wraps around the back … Continue
