November 7, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Thanksgiving is coming up very soon and as a tradition, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will be happening in New York and LEGO will be debuting a new float there. Coming from a child’s imagination, the float is called The Brick-Changer and it is part turkey and part dragon. This is the second float that LEGO has presented in the parade with the first one being the Carousel of Imagination from 2002. K-Pop band NCT 127 will be one of the artists performing on it.

This November millions of kids and families will be inspired to build – and rebuild — the impossible as LEGO Systems debuts a new float in the 93rd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®. On Thursday, November 28, 2019, it’s all about brickcraft for fans of all ages as The Brick-changer float takes to the streets of New York City delighting more than 3.5 million spectators and more than 50 million viewers nationwide, with a creative wonder set to rebuild the world, one colorful brick at a time.

“We are incredibly thrilled to welcome the LEGO brand back to the Macy’s Parade family with a brand new float that figuratively breathes creativity into the building blocks of the imagination,” said Jordan Dabby, producer of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “The new LEGO float is a conceptual marvel, marrying the creative and design talents of the artists of Macy’s Parade Studio with that of LEGO MasterBuilders to bring to life a magical creature that will inspire a new generation of Parade spectators.”

November 6, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) is currently on sale at Walmart for $139.99 which is 22% off the retail price. This is the lowest price I’ve seen this set at any retailer and it normally retails for $179.99. It’s a pretty niche set for fans who are around my age but Voltron was named my top LEGO set of 2018 and it will be retiring at the end of the year.

It has been announced that a new LEGOLAND theme park will be built in the Jinshan District of Shanghai, China. After its completion in 2023, it will be the largest LEGOLAND park in the world and it will also include a themed hotel as well. It was previously reported earlier this year it would be opening in the Qingpu District but it looks like that has changed. LEGOLAND Shanghai will be the third LEGOLAND park to be opening in the next few years after LEGOLAND New York in 2020 and LEGOLAND Korea in 2022.

Merlin Entertainments (“Merlin” or “the Company”), a global leader in location based entertainment with brands including LEGOLAND®, Madame Tussauds and the Dungeons, today announces that it has entered into an agreement with the Shanghai Jinshan District Government, CMC Inc. and KIRKBI to develop a LEGOLAND® Resort in the Jinshan District of Shanghai, China.

Under the terms of the agreement, all parties will form a joint venture company and contribute funding to the construction and development of LEGOLAND® Shanghai. The total project investment is expected to be approximately £500 million. The schedule for the project is still to be determined, but the project is not expected to open until after 2023.

LEGOLAND® Shanghai will be one of the largest LEGOLAND® Resorts in the world and will incorporate a 250-room fully themed hotel on opening. It will be located in the Jinshan District in south west Shanghai with a two-hour catchment of 55 million people. The region comprising Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui has

November 4, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has officially announced two brand new LEGO Seasonal sets to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year with the Lion Dance (80104) and the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105). Both sets will be available in China and Asia Pacific markets starting on December 26, 2019 and the rest of the world on January 10, 2020.

The details on the sets such as piece counts are still unavailable but we do know one set is $79.99 according to the press kit but not sure which set that goes to. I’m going to assume it is for the Temple Fair since the Lion Dance looks fairly small. Check out the press release and the official images of both of the sets below.

Update: We’ve finally got some pricing and piece counts for the set. The Lion Dance is $79.99 for 882 pieces while the Chinese New Year Temple Fair is $119.99 with 1664 pieces.
