LEGO Ideas Project Submission Update

September 16, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week LEGO announced some new updates to LEGO Ideas. Some of the updates are smaller quality of life ones like the product ideas statistics in which you can see how many supporters your project gets per day. Also projects now require you to add at least one tag to improve categorization and discoverability of the submission.

The main update is the Product Idea Submit Flow. As we know by now, lots of projects and ideas may be tied to a certain intellectual property and requires LEGO to go out and try to get a certain license to be able to produce the set. LEGO has changed how you are able to submit a project if it is based on a certain IP. Now when you try to submit a project, you are asked if it is based on an IP. If it is based on something, a dropdown menu will list if it is allowed or not. If it is not allowed, you won’t be able to proceed but if it is allowed, you can continue on to the next step. They have given a quick explanation of how they evaluate what IPs are good to use or not.

-Overlap with currently commercialised LEGO products (i.e. Star Wars, Ferrari, etc)
-Have already been commercialised through LEGO Ideas (i.e. Beatles Yellow Submarine, Voltron, etc)
-Don’t fit the LEGO Brand (i.e. Game of Thrones or Call of Duty, etc)
-Contain a known license conflict that prevent us from commercialising the IP (i.e. Monopoly, Transformers, etc)

Mysterious LEGO Teaser Released for Something Coming Soon

September 15, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a new teaser for something coming soon that is very unusual, even for them. In the clip, we see some people holding some large items that are upscaled version of LEGO accessories like a bow and arrow, mug, camera, wrench, and flowers. At the end, we see people looking up at the sky at something yellow flying by. Honestly I have no idea what the heck is going on but it’s for something coming out soon. If it’s not adult sized LEGO accessories, I’ll be disappointed.

LEGO Millennium Falcon AcryliKing Display Stand Review

September 14, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There are some LEGO sets that look great as a display piece especially LEGO Star Wars sets. The folks at AcryliKing has reached out to us to take a look at their display stand for the regular Millennium Falcon. This stand is compatible with the 75105 or the 75212 versions.

When I opened the envelope from the mail, the parts for the stand are shrink wrapped into a little package. All the parts are separated by some styrofoam sheets to keep them from rubbing against each other and scratching them.

The main base itself has a good high quality feel to it. The middle of it has the AcryliKing logo but not too invasive. There are four open slots to attach the pillars to them.

There are two pillars with the Millennium Falcon printed on it. There’s also designations of the left and right pillars for the stand. It’s hard to see them on the image but they are there. Attaching to them are the parts that go to the underside of the Falcon. These are the size of 4×6 plates with some official black 1×1 LEGO round plates.

There’s also a smaller stand along with a laser cut plaque showing some of the characters from Star Wars Episode 7 as well as the Rebels symbol.

It took me a while to get it on but once the Falcon is on, it seems pretty sturdy. I will say that my left pillar is a bit loose on the stand but it’s fine so far. Because it … Continue
