January 8, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you missed out on the sale for the LEGO Ideas NASA Saturn V (21309) a few weeks ago, Amazon and Walmart currently has it for 14% off. It not much as it is only about $17 off the retail price but any deal is a good deal. Considering that LEGO has announced that it has been retired, this is probably your final chance to get it if you still need it.

LEGO DOTS Coming in March 2020

January 8, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back when, there was a rumor of a new LEGO theme called LEGO DOTS which was supposed to be released last year but it never happened. It looks like the theme will be coming later this year as the LEGO 1HY catalogs show a page stating LEGO DOTS will be coming in March 2020. The page only shows some girls being excited but that’s pretty much the extent of it. It has been widely reported that the theme would be based around buildable LEGO jewelry. Perhaps the Justice partnership could finally be of value as LEGO could sell LEGO DOTS at the stores.

What Classic LEGO Set Would You Like to See Reissued?

January 7, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It is now 2020 and many of us have been fans of LEGO for many years, some of you even decades. Each year LEGO releases brand new sets and sometimes even new themes, whether it be in-house IP or licensed ones. This is all fine and dandy especially since LEGO’s main audience are kids but what about the adults?

We also are builders but for some of us, we are also collectors. If you’re a collector like I am, I like nostalgia. I like the old stuff that remind me of my childhood. LEGO has released some new sets that harken back to some original sets like the Taj Mahal (10256) and Carousel (10257) but that’s about it for the larger sets. The most recent thing were the LEGO Star Wars – 20th Anniversary Edition sets which were pretty decent.

Fans have been asking for LEGO to do more stuff like this for years but they haven’t budged that much. The hype in recent years is that other toy companies have been releasing new products that resemble the old school toys from our childhood. These companies include NECA, Super7, and Hasbro and they have taken strides to release toys like the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, and Transformers Reissue figures, respectively, and fans have been eating them up like hotcakes. If LEGO would do something similar, there would surely be a market for it.

As you can see above, the one that I want is the Deep Freeze Defender from Ice Planet 2002. Some sets … Continue
