LEGO Club’s website has posted a PDF on how to build Iron Man’s Laboratory. This set consists of 439 pieces and if you have the pieces laying around, you can build one of your own. The set is a nice Marvel Super Hereoes Iron Man themed build that allows you to create your own Hall of Armor or to add to the Malibu Mansion Attack (76007) set. You can download the PDF here.
Yesterday, I was contacted by the Senior Publicist of Dorling Kindersley to see if I was interested in checking out DK’s new LEGO Legends of Chima Ultimate Stickers App for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. The app was just launched on iTunes and I had the pleasure of doing a review on it.

Available areas include: The Land of Chima, Lions, Crocodiles, Eagles, Wolves, Ravens, Speedorz, The Grand Arena, and Freeplay. The Prize section is locked until you complete in game challenges. When you get to page of your choosing, you will see that there are outlines of characters and items that you have to figure out who or what they are. When you tap on the outline, you can read a hint to let you figure out what the correct sticker is. You scroll through the bottom to find the right sticker and drag them into the outline.

If you’re wanting a Mr. Gold minifigure from the recently released Series 10 Collectible Minifigures (71001) theme and feeling generous, now’s your chance to help out a great cause. BrickBrats has listed an auction on eBay to benefit the American Lung Association of California. May is Asthma Awareness Month and they are letting people know more about the cause because the disease has affected their family directly and now they are giving back. All the proceeds from the auction will go directly to the American Lung Association of California so you’ll know exactly where your money is going. The auction has 8 days left with a current high bid of $510 as of this writing. This Mr. Gold minifigure is numbered #4625/5000.

Every year, LEGO hosts an “Inside Tour” for guests in Billund, Denmark to let fans experience what goes on at the factories and exclusive LEGO sets are given away to individuals as a parting gift. This year, attendees will be receiving the Villy Thomsen Truck (4000008) as their going away gift. The truck was a very important truck back in the 1950’s because it was the first truck to transport LEGO products between cities. The instructions on LEGO’s site have been taken down but luckily, The Daily Brick has them up on their site if you want to build your own. If you’re interested in going to the LEGO Inside Tour for 2014, check out the site for more details on how you can attend next year’s tour.
