LEGO Pop-up Todai-ji and Daibutsu Model

November 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple years ago, a Japanese builder who goes by Talapz, created a LEGO Pop-up Kinkaku-ji, a Temple of the Golden Pavilion, and posted it on YouTube, which has gained over a million views. He is back and has created another pop-up model, the Todai-ji including the Daibutsu (Eastern Great Temple with The Great Buddha). This model took Talapz 9 months to create and used around 8800 pieces. When folded together, it is approximately 96mm thick and about 48mm opened. If you want to create your own, he has also provided instructions at the end on how to make your own popup model.

LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pong Krell and Trooper Minifigures

November 15, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on Rebelscum, a user by the name of rgeezzy has gotten their hands on what could the Pong Krell minifigure from the LEGO Star Wars Z-95 Headhunter (75004) set or it could be just a custom minifigure to trick people. We cannot verify that it’s the real thing since we can’t see clearly of the boxart of the set to compare them. Judge for yourself. The user has also posted an image of some of the new Clone Troopers as well as a Sith Trooper.

Update: There’s also another image of Pong Krell that has popped up on Eurobricks posted by CM4S.

Update 2: David, aka legoboy12345678, has gotten in contact with an associate and will be getting one by the end of week and will be showcasing it on his YouTube channel.

Update 3: lego*dudes is now selling the Pong Krell minifigure on their eBay store and lists more than 10 are available. Still not sure how the seller is getting them.

LEGO Galaxy Squad Minifigures Shows Up on eBay

November 14, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

First images of the new minifigures from the LEGO Galaxy Squad have shown up on eBay! lego*dudes, the source of many of the unreleased 2013 minifigures, is selling a red alien beetle-like insect, probably from the Space Swarmer (70700) set, as well as a green alien mosquito most likely from the Swarm Interceptor (70701) or the Warp Stinger (70702) sets.

The red beetle minifigure has a very nice looking red exoskeleton with a great beetle head. For the green mosquito minifigure, it’s pretty much what you see from a mosquito. Even though the head is put on backwards, we can see it has a darkish green body with a fairly transparent neon green wing piece. The head has some very bulging eyes and a long proboscis. From the looks of it, these insects won’t be able to turn their heads due to the head molds. The LEGO Galaxy Squad theme looks to be a huge hit from the initial impressions of the minifigures.
