January 29, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Baba Yaga project by Artem Biziaev is the latest one to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is based on the iconic character from Slavic fairy tales. The main build is the Hut on Hen’s Legs that opens up to reveal details inside. What’s more interesting about this project is that the required amount of supporters needed in less than a day.

The project now joins The Shire, the Hobbithole of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, Among Us: The Skeld Detailed Map, The Office, Castle of Lord Afol and the Black Knights, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, The House of Chocolate, The Simpsons – The Krusty Burger, Asterix and Obelix, 4½-Litre 1927-31 Bentley ‘Blower’, Scania Next Generation S730, The Karate Kid “Wax On, Wax Off”, Hyrule Castle (The Legend of Zelda), Metroid: Samus Aran’s Gunship, NASA’s SLS & Artemis, Lego Bookends, Animal Crossing: New Horizons Paradise, and Claus Toys as the ones to reach the First 2021 Review Stage.

January 28, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This morning, LEGO announced the LEGO Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Targa (10295) and we get to see some closer details of the set with the designer video. Designers Mike Psiaki, Car Merriam, and Yoel Mazur talks about some of the features and elements that are in the classic car. One thing is that there are no stickers on the set as it uses all printed elements.

The Porsche 911 has 1,458 pieces and will retail for $149.99. VIPs can get first dibs on the set starting on February 16 at LEGO Stores and on the LEGO Shop.

LEGO Seasonal Year of the Ox (40417) Review

January 28, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In just a few days, LEGO will have a new promotion on the LEGO Shop for the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Ox (40417). You’ll be able to get it for free with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last.

Like with the previous Chinese Zodiac animal GWPs, it comes in a flap box and it also includes an envelope for putting money in as a gift.

The build is a cartoonish style ox that is sitting on a display stand. The ox has articulation on the arms and legs by the way of some ball joints and the head is on a turntable spinner. The ears are on hinges so they are able to move up and down.

The stand has a more autumn feel to it with the color scheme but it works well with the color of the ox. There are a couple of jumper plates to allow it to sit on it but it’s not too secure.

The Year of the Ox (40417) is the seventh one in the Chinese New Year series and it’s an okay build. Ranking it alongside the other animals that have released so far in terms of design, I would place it fifth. Of course, that’s just my opinion and you may have it ranked higher. The Year of the Dog (40235) is still my favorite one mainly because I love the look of it and that is my zodiac animal.

The promotion for this set will run from February 1-14 with purchases of $85 or … Continue

LEGO Celebrates 63rd Brick Patent Day

January 28, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today, LEGO celebrates the day that the LEGO brick was born which was when the design of the LEGO brick was patented in Denmark back in 1958. It is pretty much one of the most important events in LEGO history since it eventually gave us the “building blocks” for the LEGO System. Without it, we wouldn’t have any builders or AFOLs in general.

On January 28, 1958 at precisely 1.58 pm the application for the very first LEGO® brick patent was filed at the Danish Directorate for Patents and Trademarks. Soon after, patent applications were filed in numerous countries around the world.

In the months after the application for the Danish patent, applications were filed in countries such as Norway (March 12, 1958), Sweden (March 22, 1958), Germany (April 10, 1958) and Holland (April 14, 1958). Also in 1958, applications were filed in France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy.

The following year, in 1959, the LEGO reach was increased even further to include countries such as Israel, South Africa, England, Poland, Ireland, Turkey, Finland, Portugal and Spain.

And today, as we know, LEGO play is reaching millions of children all over the world.
