January 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The hit UK show, LEGO Masters, is back for a second series and they are now looking for builders to appear on the show. If you’re not familiar with what LEGO Masters is about, it’s basically a building competition for amateurs and contestants’ builds are judged in a number of categories. One of the judges is LEGO’s Vice President of Design, Matthew Ashton. The only bad news is that you have to be a resident of the UK or Ireland to apply. Now if the US can get a similar show…

Rumored LEGO Harry Potter 2018 Collectible Minifigures List

January 16, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 22 Comments

It looks like there are more rumors coming out for the return of LEGO Harry Potter later this year. As I reported before, it seems there will be a Collectible Minifigures series for the theme and now it appears that there’s a reported list of minifigures of this wave. A majority of characters listed haven’t appeared as minifigure form so that’s nice. This also fits in to the whole Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme that the forums are talking about.

Harry Potter – Accessories: cloak, sorting hat
Ron Weasley – Accessories: cloak, frog, sweets
Hermione Granger – Accessories: cloak, wand, book
James Potter – Accessory: Golden Snitch, broom, Quidditch robes
Lily Potter – Accessory: baby with scar on forehead
Fred Weasley – Accessories: Marauder’s Map, fireworks
George Weasley
Vernon Dursley – Accessories: shotgun
Petunia Dursley – Accessory: letter
Dudley Dursley in Pajamas – Accessories: cake, pig tail
Rolanda Hooch – Accessories: broom, whistle
Unknown
Bloody Baron
Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (Nearly Headless Nick)
Gray Lady
Fat Friar
Moaning Myrtle – Accessory: Tom Riddle’s diary
Unknown
Sirius Black – Accessories: Dog
Unknown

Like I’ve stated before, this is an unofficial rumored list so take it with a grain of salt until LEGO announces it.

LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) Available on Amazon

January 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I’m not sure if the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) is just temporarily sold out or retired on Shop@Home, but there is some stock over on Amazon if you’re still wanting to pick it up. This is probably your final chance to get it because they are already gone from a majority of LEGO Brand Stores and it hasn’t been available for a while on Shop@Home. The Palace Cinema may not be the best modular building according to the survey I ran but it’s one of the more popular ones in the long line of modulars.
