In addition to the official images and press release of the LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) earlier today, LEGO has also sent over some videos of the set as well. One of the videos show the set in motion with some of the play features including using Power Functions on it to make the cars run automatically. The other video is just a simple stop-motion showing the cars going up and down the track. Check them both out below.
After much speculation, LEGO has officially announced the next LEGO Creator Expert set with the Roller Coaster (10261). It continues with the Fairgrounds summer theme of sets that we’ve been getting the past few years.
The Roller Coaster has 4,124 pieces and will be pretty expensive coming in at $379.99. It will be able to connect with both Power Functions as well as LEGO Boost for additional functionality.
It will be available starting on June 1 but if you’re a LEGO VIP member, you will be able to get it starting on May 16 during early access.

If you’ve been following the reveals of the summer 2018 LEGO Creator sets, you may already know about the Pirate Roller Coaster (31084) but did you know there’s another pirate themed set? There are now official images of another LEGO Creator set coming out of Alternate which shows the new Treehouse Treasures (31078). It is a 3-in-1 one set that has 260 pieces and the main build is the pirate-themed treehouse. The alternate builds include a small pirate ship and a skull island. This one looks to be a popular set among fans.
Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.
BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.
The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.
As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.
One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.
Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue
It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten one but there are now images of the new upcoming LEGO City Hospital (60204). If you’ve been collecting City sets, you would know that a LEGO hospital set has been really rare the past few years since the theme has been dominated by Police and Firefighting sets.
In this set, you get the three story hospital along with an ambulance as well as a helicopter. For the minifigures, there are doctors, nurses, paramedics, numerous patients including one in a wheelchair, and a family with a stroller.
All in all, the Hospital is a great addition to any City layout and for those who haven’t had a chance to get one before, this one is a great opportunity to add to your collection.
It has been announced that The Toys That Made Us will be returning to Netflix on May 25, 2018. There will be four episodes that will be coming which includes Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek. Yes that’s right, we’re finally going to get to see the LEGO episode that was teased about a few months ago. There’s no details on what the episode will consist of but it’ll probably feature some AFOLs from Bricks LA from earlier this year as well as some footage from Billund. It was stated in a comment on my previous post about the show that the LEGO episode will focus on things that previous LEGO documentaries didn’t focus on. Whatever that means, it’ll be exciting to see what that could be.
There are now official images of a new LEGO City People Pack – Outdoor Adventures (60202) that comes out of a LEGO Certified Store in Sarajevo. The set has 164 pieces and has a lot of new and useful parts including the eagle, baby carrier, an updated life jacket, a mountain bike in lime green, and a new egg printed tile, just to name a few.
What do you guys think of this new Ourdoors People Pack? Now we just need one for the Fairground theme and we’re golden.
