LEGO Looking to Grow in Hiring Push

July 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’ve ever wanted to work at LEGO, I’ve been told that they are making a huge hiring push for the LEGO Brand Stores as well as at various headquarter locations here in the US. I suppose they are starting to gear up for seasonal positions as things start to ramp up for the holiday season.

If you’ve ever worked retail before, there is a chance for you to be put on as a regular member of the staff and possibly even be promoted to other positions. I’ve known people who have started at retail and ended up working at Enfield which allowed them to travel the world to various LEGO events. I’ve tried to apply years ago but it didn’t work out since it was sort of a conflict of interest with what I got going on here. If you are interested, head on over to the careers page to see what is available.

LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures (71031) Teases Return of X-Men

July 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Marvel Studios Collectible Minifigures (71031) were revealed yesterday and if you looked closely, there is a teaser for possibly the return of the X-Men. The product listing for the minifigures went up and there it also showed the bag design that they come in. On the top right corner, you can clearly see Wolverine with his claw out.

If you’re a LEGO Marvel collector, you know that there haven’t been many X-Men related sets that have been released so far with the last one being the Mighty Micros: Wolverine vs. Magneto (76073) in 2017. With the Disney acquisition of Fox back in 2019, this meant that Marvel now owns the rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four which could mean that LEGO can finally produce more products from those franchises.

If LEGO has have the ability to make X-Men products again, what do you want to see being released? Personally, I’m hoping for a UCS-style Sentinel.

LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) Promo Set Revealed

July 26, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, the August 2021 LEGO Store Calendar was published and in it we can also see the upcoming LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventure (40487) promotional set. It was announced as the winner of the Build that Holiday building contest a year ago and we finally get to see what it looks like.

The build pretty much maintains the original look from yc_solo down to the dolphins jumping out of the water. The promotion will run from August 1-3 for VIPs and August 4-29 for the general public, while supplies last, and it will require a $200 purchase. I believe this is one of the largest, if not the largest purchase requirement, I’ve seen for a promo item in many years and will most likely carry a hefty aftermarket price.

LEGO Harry Potter Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy Book Set – Pre-Order on Amazon

July 26, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO Harry Potter book set coming out in a few months called Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy. The book set includes two paperback activity books, a double-sided pop-up featuring different parts of Hogwarts, and minifigures of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. The activity books are called Magical Rivals and Gryffindor vs Slytherin which I believe are both new. The minifigures aren’t exclusive but this is another way to get them in their school outfits. The most interesting thing for me is the pop-up insert which has an unique art form that I like although you can’t really put anything on the pop-out sections. LEGO Harry Potter Wizarding Duels: Potter vs Malfoy will be released on September 7 for $14.99 and you can pre-order it today on Amazon.
