May 25, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The June 2021 LEGO Store Calendar is now available and we can see some of the promotions and events that will be happening during the month. The main thing is the new concept that LEGO is trying with the LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490). Instead of a gift-with-purchase, there’s an option for you to buy it for $10 when you make an $85 purchase. I’ve heard of rumors that LEGO may try this out and it looks like it’ll be starting in a few days.

June 1-30: LEGO Ninjago 10th Anniversary BrickHeadz (40490) for $10 when you make a LEGO Ninjago purchase of $85 or more, in-store only, while supplies last.

June 1 – December 31: Free LEGO Blue Minifigure Keychain (854090) when you sign up for LEGO VIP.

Releasing on June 1 is the new LEGO Art World Map (31203) which consists the most parts in a LEGO set with 11,695 pieces and it will retail for $249.99. The map is inspired by bathymetric mapping of the ocean floor which may not be so eye pleasing to some but we’ll see if it matters that much.

LEGO has officially announced the new LEGO Art World Map (31203) which is the largest set that LEGO has designed coming in at 11,695 pieces. Releasing on June 1 for $249.99, the World Map is the latest addition to the LEGO Art in which the map is inspired by bathymetric mapping of the ocean floor.

Travel put firmly back on the map with huge new LEGO® Art set

Wanderlusters prepare to be enthralled by the magic of a different sort of map – the new LEGO® Art World Map. This new addition to the LEGO Art collection contains the most pieces ever included in a set in the LEGO Group’s history, with its 11,695 elements allowing builders to immerse themselves in creating a stunning representation of the earth from 2D LEGO tiles.

The new LEGO Art World Map can be reimagined in a number of different ways to express the personality and travel memories or wishes of different builders. Customisable brick-built pins can be placed to mark out destinations already visited or highlight those still on the builder’s bucket list to give this masterpiece a personal twist before it’s proudly displayed.

The set’s building instructions show how the 40 interconnecting base plates are divided into three sections for the build that can be arranged in one of three different ways, allowing you to place your favourite part of the world in the centre of your map.

The oceans on this 25.5 in. (65cm) high and 40.5 in. (104 cm) wide masterpiece can also be tailored to

Marvel’s Eternals Teaser Trailer Gives Glimpse of LEGO Tie-In Sets

May 24, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This morning, Marvel dropped the official teaser trailer for the Eternals movie and we get a first look at what the LEGO sets could be referencing. The Eternals isn’t your typical MCU movie as it focuses on an immortal alien race created by the Celetials who have secretly lived on Earth for over 7,000 years. The beginning of the trailer shows the triangular ship from the Rise of the Domo (76156) but that’s as much that was shown for the LEGO tie-in sets.

There are at least four sets that will be for the movie and we’ve already got details for them thanks to the January 2021 catalog. There’s still no word on when they will be available but it’ll be before or around the time the movie releases in theaters on November 5.

Deviant Ambush! (76154) – 197 pieces/$24.99
In Arishem’s Shadow (76155) – 493 pieces/$59.99
Rise of the Domo (76156) – 1,040 pieces/$89.99
Eternals’ Aerial Assault (76145) – 133 pieces/$9.99

One Week Left to Pre-Order The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks

May 24, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There is exactly one week left to put your pre-order in for The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks written by Daniel Konstanski. In his latest update for the book, he detailed how LEGO was able to provide him with exclusive images to use for the book as well as LEGO going a step further to provide items to photograph for better image quality. It looks like LEGO is fully committed to put out a good book dedicated to AFOLs.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but it might be more in the case of LEGO® sets. Indeed, as several senior members of the LEGO Group’s in-house advertising agency told me, they spend more hours than you can imagine putting together the key images which appear on set boxes. But that is all I can say about that for now so as to not spoil a really great story from The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks. For our effort, I and the team who are helping make this book a reality realised that being able to show many of the parts and sets I discuss was a necessity. To that end, the LEGO Group gave us permission to not only scour their digital archive but also to request images for use in the book. As I have been writing I concurrently scour the appropriate timeframe or category in the digital archive for pictures to enhance the text. However, it didn’t stop there. In a show of just how committed the LEGO Group is to
