Next LEGO Star Wars UCS Set Reported to be $699

June 13, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s never too early to speculate about the fall 2019 LEGO Star Wars UCS set and it looks like rumors have already started over on Reddit. A user was at their local LEGO store and an employee mentioned they already have a placeholder for the next UCS set in the system and it will be priced at $699. The thread has many people suggesting it could be a new Star Destroyer as there aren’t that many vehicles in the Star Wars Universe that could command a high price point. The last UCS version of the ship was the 10221 version from 2011 and the latest retail release of the ship was the First Order Star Destroyer (75190) from 2017.

I can not say that the next UCS set will be a Star Destroyer as I haven’t heard any rumors about it or maybe I’m not looking hard enough or care to. Again, everything above is considered a rumor until LEGO announces it. We do know that LEGO does usually release a Star Wars UCS/Master Builder Series set around September/October so we’ll just have to wait until then to hear more about what’s coming up when the teasers start showing up on social media.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Gameplay Details Revealed

June 13, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga was announced a few days ago and today TT Games has revealed some gameplay details. The first bullet point is that it is built brick by brick from the ground up with new tech. As I mentioned before, it is rumored that the game would use procedurally generated worlds which is somewhat new as it has been used in recent LEGO games.

In the game, you’ll be able to play all nine films in any order and explore the galaxy while flying from planet to planet. Also there will be voices so I assume it’ll have voice lines from the movies.

There will be 200+ characters to use which is quite a lot and there will be over-the-shoulder shooting along with melee combos and new Force powers.

All in all, it sounds like it’ll be a pretty cool game once it’s released. Hopefully we’ll see more details next month when San Diego Comic Con rolls around.

LEGO Jurassic World Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage (75936) Statement by Design Teams

June 11, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO announced the new LEGO Jurassic World Jurassic Park: T. rex Rampage (75936) and fans noticed that it looks extremely similar to a project that previously hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Both features the Jurassic Park gate and the Tyrannosaurus Rex however the project was minifigure scaled and it featured the Ford Explorer while the new set features a much larger T.Rex. There has already been much discussion about it on social media saying that LEGO did such and such.

The design teams at LEGO has released a statement on the LEGO Ambassador Network about this issue and hopefully it’ll ease some of the concerns that LEGO “copied” the project from LEGO Ideas. Take it however you like but keep in mind that LEGO plans upcoming sets years ahead before they are released as is noted in the statement below.

Based on these discussions I’ve engaged the LEGO Ideas team and the Jurassic Park Design team. Here’s the statement about the set:

Although the new 75936 Jurassic Park T-Rex Rampage set shares similarities in design to the LEGO Ideas submission “Jurassic Park” by senteosan, this model was developed entirely internally by a team of LEGO Designers who create great new sets that kids and adult fans alike are passionate about. The basis of their model was a large, grey, brick-built T-Rex created by LEGO Designer Mike Psiaki in 2012 when he joined the LEGO Group and from there the model evolved by including the iconic Jurassic Park gates to add additional building
