Star Wars Days Weekend Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

June 11, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

FBTB has posted an image of the exclusive minifigure that will be available away this weekend at Star Wars Days at LEGOLAND California. The Clone Trooper Lieutenant will be given out to volunteers from SanDLUG and LUGOLA that help out on Saturday and Sunday. Ace has also mentioned that you might be able to get one from the Big Shop if you spend a certain amount there. Children might also be able to get the Trooper from the 501st Droid Hunt game that will be going on during the weekend.

I might be going to LEGOLAND this weekend to experience Star Wars Days once again but will not be able to volunteer with the local LUGs which saddens me. The life-sized X-wing Starfighter that was revealed at New York a couple of weeks ago will also be displayed there which I’m excited to see.

LEGO CUUSOO Female Minifigure Set Achieves 10000 Supporters

June 10, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Female Minifigure Set by Alatariel is the latest project to reach 10000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. With the lack of female minifigures in the LEGO world, Alatariel took it upon herself to design more female minifigures and place them in LEGO Town and City settings. Each minifigure is paired with a corresponding setting on a 6×4 base plate.

The project was created on April 30, 2012 and reached 2500 supporters on June 4, 2013. With the help of social media including Facebook and Twitter, the project gained 7500 more supporters in just 6 days. GlenBricker has provided an in-depth analysis on how the project reached their goal in a short amount of time.

Congratulations to Alatariel for reaching 10000 supporters and showing that female minifigures also play a big role in the LEGO world. Below is the official LEGO comment:

Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, Alatariel!

2013.06.11

Congratulations, Alatariel, and all supporters of the Female Minifigure Set project, for reaching 10,000 supporters in a whirlwind of support this past week. Thanks also for updating your proposal to recommend we focus consideration on the three science-based vignettes.

We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.

What happens now?
This project moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A “LEGO Review Board” composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability,

New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Gameplay Footage

June 9, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we get closer to the release of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game, more images and videos from the developers have been released. TT Games has recently shot some new gameplay footage in the Asgard level. In the video, there are some new characters being played including Wolverine, Captain America, Thor, and Human Torch. If you remember, the first gameplay video showed Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man defending Grand Central Station in New York City against the Abomination and the Sandman.

The game will feature more than 100 playable characters across the Marvel Universe with each character having their own special abilities. There are also hundreds of alternative costumes that you can unlock for the characters.

The game is now available for pre-order and if you get it from Walmart, you’ll get an Iron Patriot minifigure (30168) as a bonus. The offer is only valid on platform systems so handheld owners, you’re out of luck there. Amazon and GameStop also have pre-order bonuses but they aren’t as good the Iron Patriot minifigure.

LEGO Legends of Chima CHI Gorzan (70202) Review

June 8, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In the summer 2013 wave of the Legends of Chima sets, LEGO has released ultrabuilds of some of the main characters of the theme. As you can see, we have the CHI Gorzan (70202) ultrabuild. The set contains 59 pieces and retails for $14.99. That is about $0.25/piece which is about the ratio that ultrabuild figures are at. The package that the set comes in contains two unnumbered bags, a couple of loose pieces, one instruction booklet, and a sticker sheet.

BrickLink Sold to Nexon

June 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The unofficial LEGO marketplace, BrickLink, has announced they have been sold to Korean game giant Nexon, creator of games such as MapleStory, Dragon Nest, etc. Former CEO Eliska Jezkova and Founder of Nexon Jung-Ju “Jay” Kim have issued a joint statement in regards to the acquisition (see below).

It’s a bit sad that BrickLink has been sold and so far there is mixed reactions in the forums. The site has been extremely helpful to LEGO users all around the world and now the companies will be working to get “BrickLink 2.0” up as soon as possible. Kim will soon be asking users for their input for ideas to improve functionality. We’re also hoping that the acquisition will help address BrickLink’s recent issues and help users have a more enjoyable experience there.

About a week ago I posted a special message to thank all of you for supporting us over the nearly three years since my son Dan died. I thank all those who sent personal messages to me about what BrickLink has meant to them. In my message, I mentioned some progress we made, and also the challenges we faced. Good news remaining is that, despite the challenges, business has been brisk and even impressive. When I took over the website in the name of my son, the representational visitor log (front page of BrickLink) was at about 50 million visitors. Today, it is at nearly 144 million visitors and counting. Nearly two-thirds of all those who visited BrickLink over the 13 years since
