LEGO Ninjago Hydro Bounty (71756) Development Notes

May 4, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we got our first look at the summer 2021 LEGO Ninjago sets and set designer Niek van Slagmaat has chimed in on the behind the scenes development of one of the sets. With the very positive response to this wave, Niek gives an in-depth look at the Hydro Bounty (71756) which is pretty rare since LEGO doesn’t really release development photos.

Not only does the Hydro Bounty a submarine, it also has a mech integrated into it as well which we really can see from the official set images that came out the other day. What’s funny enough is that Niel actually designed the set from home during the pandemic. You can read more about the Hydro Bounty in the Niek’s Twitter thread.

There was an older sketch model by Theo Bonner, that explored the aesthetic and concept. I took it from here and was tasked to make it into a submarine version of the Bounty, then named the Sword of the Sea. I did some sketches to start off with to explore the shape and features. pic.twitter.com/HQZk2hiEc9

May 4, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO City summer 2021 Wildlife set that has popped over at the LEGO building instructions page with the Wildlife Rescue Camp (60307). There’s not much details on it at this time and the image a little hard to see but it does include a variety of animals including an elephant, mountain lion/puma/cougar, lion, eagle, and a couple of monkeys. This is a larger set than the Wildlife Rescue Operations (60302) so it’ll probably be priced at $99.99.

LEGO DC Comics Tumbler (76240) Rumored for September Release

May 4, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s a new rumor going around online stating that we could be seeing an update to the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Tumbler (76023). 1414falconfan on Instagram has reported that the Tumbler (76240) will be released in September for $200-$250 and could include minifigures of Batman and the Joker. It is also said to have the 18+ label as well. The original Dark Knight version of it was released back in 2014 with a very exclusive Bat-Pod (5004590) coming out in 2015 to pair up with it. Obviously, we’re still a long ways away from September so these are purely rumors until LEGO announces it.

May 3, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’ve already seen a few summer 2021 LEGO Disney Mickey & Friends sets and there’s one more that has been revealed on LEGO’s building instruction page with Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck’s Farm (10775). It is a 4+ set but it includes minifigures of Mickey and Donald in new variants. There’s also some animals including a chicken, horse, rabbit, and a sheep. This is the first sheep mold that LEGO has made and we’re getting that much closer to the mythical goat that fans have been pleading for.

Fifty Seven Projects Qualify for LEGO Ideas First 2021 Review Stage

May 3, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The First 2021 Review Stage has been set with a record 57 projects that hit the 10,000 supporter goal on LEGO Ideas. LEGO will have their hands full in choosing a winner for this stage and there will certainly be some backlash if only a couple are chosen from this massive list. There were actually 58 projects that hit the goal but the Stadium Tour one was removed due to it being based on intellectual properties after the new IP rules were put in place and not stated as so. You can check out all the projects that qualified in the link above. LEGO is also wrapping up on the Third 2020 Review Stage which consists of 25 projects which seems kind of small compared to this one.
