LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) Rumored for June/July Release

May 6, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It doesn’t seem like it but it’s been a while since we’ve had a LEGO Ideas set release but we may get another one soon. There’s rumors that the LEGO Ideas Typewriter (21327) could be released in June or July with a price tag of $200. It is said to have 2,078 pieces and the main color scheme will be sand green. I guess the color is to resemble the typewriters from back in day which you can see on Ole Kirk Christiansen’s desk.

The LEGO Typewriter by Steve Guinness hit 10k supporters back in October 2019 and it was chosen as one of the winners in June 2020 so the set has been in development for quite a while. Keep in mind that there are still six other LEGO Ideas sets under development so LEGO does have their hands full trying to crank them out.

Today is the last day to get your orders in for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event. Surprisingly, the Tatooine Homestead (40451) promo set is still available with purchases of $85.

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

LEGO City Wildlife Rescue Camp (60307) Revealed

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.
