LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar (75964) Coming in September

April 30, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The press release of the summer 2019 LEGO Harry Potter sets was released yesterday and LEGO also announced the new LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar (75964). It will have 305 pieces and retail for $39.99 and will be available starting on September 1. It is a brand new advent calendar that is added to LEGO’s already big lineup of advent calendars for various themes including City, Friends, and Star Wars.

The images do not show all of the builds and minifigures like with the other LEGO advent calendars. This could be a new move to give more of a surprise for what we will be getting. The product description, however, does give more information about it and the main thing is that it includes 7 minifigures and a number of other builds that aren’t shown on the front of the box.

You may have noticed that I haven’t reviewed any advent calendars from the past few years but I’ll definitely take a look at this new LEGO Harry Potter one when it comes out.

Give LEGO Harry Potter fans a magical build-up to Christmas with this awesome advent calendar!

Celebrate Christmas in the Wizarding World with a magical surprise LEGO Harry Potter toy every day for 24 days! Behind each door is a different LEGO Harry Potter holiday gift to open, build and play with. Each day delivers a favorite character, familiar object or awesome accessory from the Harry Potter series, so you can create Hogwarts holiday adventures of your own!

April 30, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Some of you may have known that I went to Philly Brick Fest this past weekend and there I had the pleasure of meeting former LEGO employees Megan Rothrock and James Foulds. They were at the event to promote their new book Construct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! which is a somewhat unique LEGO book that I haven’t seen that much of. It is a story book along with building instructions for some of the builds shown in the book. You can check out Megan talking about her new book from the Beyond the Brick livestream from Saturday.

Constuct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! is available now on Amazon for $7.99.

Join Syd and Friends as they introduce you to their world of imaginative play! As you follow their adventures, building tips and instructions are included to inspire young builders. Utilizing a unique character design and a brick-built scale to match, the stories cover a varied selection of environments. Readers will discover this book light-hearted and fun to follow. Weaving story and brick building, we hope to encourage children to create their own stories and play activities with the bricks they have at home!

April 27, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’ve already known about the LEGO Seasonal Dragon Boat Race (80103) but LEGO has finally uploaded the official images of the set onto their servers in preparation of them being sold on LEGO Shop@Home. In the Asian-Pacific region, it’ll be available on May 1 but for the rest of the world, they won’t get it until 3-6 months after the launch so it’ll probably be late summer/early fall before it becomes available for everyone else.

As for the set, it has 471 pieces but it will include a whopping 15 minifigures. The price is still unknown at this time. The set is to commemorate the Dragon Boat Festival that will be held in early June.

LEGO Mystery Midnight Opening Event at Leicester Square on May 15

April 26, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has teased a mystery midnight opening event at the flagship Leicester Square LEGO Brand Store. The event will be held on Wednesday May 15 from 12:01am-3am local time. Looking at the image above, there’s a classified folder but there is a clue from the photo that is paper clipped on. If you look closely, it looks like the photo shows the top of the head of somebody. I don’t know about you but it sort of looks likes the head of Mike from Stranger Things so that means the opening event could be the rumored LEGO Stranger Things theme that I talked about last month. We here in the US could also see something released that same day at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. We shall see.

Lepin Factories Raided and Boss Arrested

April 25, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Depending on what time zone you’re in, this is either some early morning news or late night news. The Shanghai Police has announced on their Weibo that they have successfully raided a few Lepin factories and the boss, surnamed Li, has been arrested. If you didn’t know, LEGO has been taking legal action against the company for almost three years and even though they supposedly won an infringement case against them last year, Lepin was still producing counterfeit sets.

According to the post, there were three warehouses raided, four people arrested, including Li, and police confiscated 90 production molds and 630,000 finished products ready to be sold which equated to more than 200 million yuan (~$30 mil USD). You can check out more images of the raid in the link above.
