LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Venom Crawler (76163) Official Images

February 14, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are now official images of the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man Venom Crawler (76163) set. It has 413 pieces and will retail for only $29.99 which is a little surprising. The set features a Venom spider mech and a small buggy but the main attraction are the minifigures which includes Spider-Man, Carnage, and Iron Venom which is a Venomized version of the character. If you’re not familiar with the Venomized comic series, the symbiotes have chosen various heroes and villains to bond with and it’s actually a pretty good series. Hopefully LEGO continues with the Venomized line as we can get newer version of the characters. The Venom Crawler will be available on March 1.

With LEGO® Marvel Avengers Venom Crawler (76163) young superheroes can team up with Spider-Man to take on both Carnage and archenemy Venom, who is at the controls of his monstrous Venom Crawler! Cool action vehicles and minifigures Behold, the Venom Crawler! With 8 movable legs and a rear stud shooter, this reinforced battle machine makes an awesome adversary.

LEGO Night Mode Lighting Kits Controversy

February 13, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This morning, LEGO shocked the world by introducing LEGO Night Mode which is their in-house lighting kits for official sets. So far, the response for it has been overwhelmingly positive because we can now potentially have first-party lighting kits as part of the LEGO User Lab but unfortunately smaller companies who make third-party kits are now wondering what will happen to their business if LEGO does go ahead with the idea.

One of those businesses is Brickstuff who has a ton of products out there on the market and as a result, they have other companies that steal their ideas and make copycat products similar to it. An image came out of Copenhagen today showing a subcontractor that LEGO used on the Night Mode kits and they are called Light My Bricks. According to Brickstuff, this particular company pretty much pirated Brickstuff’s design and have been selling them on their own platform. In the Medium post, Brickstuff did mention that LEGO had reached out to them to perhaps work with them to create the Night Mode kits but was ultimately not chosen.

I’m not sure if LEGO knows about LMB stealing Brickstuff’s design or not but they should take a look into it before proceeding any further. I have no reason to doubt Brickstuff as they have first-hand experience with the LEGO User Lab but something that could be a great product has already been marred with controversy on the same day of the reveal.

LEGO within the last hour has just released a statement on … Continue

February 13, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO World Copenhagen event kicked off today and it looks like there are some new light kits that are being shown off called LEGO Night Mode. There are four that are displayed for different sets in various themes including the LEGO Ideas Tree House, LEGO Creator Downtown Diner, LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle, and LEGO Creator Ford Mustang. Each Light Kit comes with a designated number of LED Lights as well as Expansion Boards.

It was reported that these are actually for sale yet but LEGO is just getting feedback for them. This is actually great news for LEGO purists as they don’t have to rely on third party companies. What do you think of these new LEGO Night Mode Light Kits that LEGO could be planning on releasing in the future?
