LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75205) Official Images

December 12, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 18 Comments

Toys R Us has posted a listed for a new LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75205) set. This set is different from the 75052 version from 2014 but a remake from the 2004 set. This 2018 Mos Eisley Cantina will have 376 pieces and retail for $39.99 and it includes minifigures of Greedo, Han Solo, Wuher, and a Sandtrooper. Unfortunately for this time, we don’t get the Cantina Band but we can recreate the famous “who shot first” scene.

Recreate iconic Star Wars: A New Hope scenes at Tatooine’s most perilous tavern, Mos Eisley Cantina. This detailed model has a modular, open-out design for easy play. Slide the door and enter the bar to reveal the detailed interior, which includes a counter for serving refreshments and 2 seat-tipping functions for reenacting the unforgettable encounter between Han Solo and bounty hunter, Greedo. You also get a Ubrikkian 9000 pod with an opening minifigure cockpit and stud shooter on top. This LEGO Star Wars toy includes 4 minifigures.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253) – Day 11

December 11, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With all the news today, there was almost no time for the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Build Up (40253). For today’s build, we have a little cabin decorated with lights in the front. The build also makes uses of the ice cream piece again to represent the smoke coming out of the chimmney. The cabin sits on top of a 4×4 white plate for the snow and it even uses some white cheese slopes for the snow on the roof.

LEGO Releases Statement Regarding Downtown Diner (10260) Minifigure Faces

December 11, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 12 Comments

The LEGO Creator Downtown Diner (10260) was announced a few weeks ago as the next modular building that is set to be released on January 1. You may have noticed that the minifigures will now have facial expressions instead of the usual smiley faces that we’ve gotten for the past decade. A lot of longtime fans of the modulars were disappointed in the change as it strayed away from what they were used to. LEGO has been following those comments and the Creator Expert team has released a statement regarding the use of facial expressions in the Downtown Diner modular.

Over the past 10 years our modular buildings have evolved in many ways. We’ve added more interior details, more story-telling and more emotional triggers such as unique decorations on windows & Minifigure torsos. We now feel the time is right to bring the Minifigure expression in line with all the amazing details now offered throughout our models. We have always loved the classic smiley face for its versatility and nostalgia value, but are now excited to explore the new possibilities expressive faces will offer us.

All LEGO BrickHeadz 2018 Seasonal Sets Revealed

December 11, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Earlier we’ve posted images of the LEGO BrickHeadz Valentine’s Bee (40270) and on the back of the box, we can also see the rest of this year’s seasonal offerings which include:

Easter – #30 Bunny
Halloween – #31 Witch
Thanksgiving – #32 Turkey
Christmas – #33 Mr. Claus & #34 Mrs. Claus

If these sets follow the release dates of the previous seasonal sets, they should be available a month before the event so the Bunny will be in March, With in September, Turkey in October, and the Clauses will be in November.

It’s kind of a bummer that LEGO has elected to show all the offerings because I do enjoy waiting for the reveals on the back of the building instructions like with the usual LEGO Seasonal sets. What do you think of these sets and will you be picking up all six for this year?

LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod Promo Clarification

December 11, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

As you may or may not have known by now, the upcoming promotion for the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Pod (5005376) has been officially cancelled. I’ve gotten some clearer information about what will be replacing it for customers here in the US. They are as follows:

– In US and Canada, we will be offering 100 bonus VIP points on all Star Wars sets purchased through LEGO Brand Retail stores or on shop.LEGO.com

– The promotion is only valid on LEGO Star Wars sets and excludes items from our extended line such as keychains, magnets, books, etc.

– Offer is valid December 15th-24th

– Europe is running a 10% discount on Star Wars sets (excluding the UCS Falcon) during the same time.

The cancellation of the Darth Vader Pod is a bummer since fans have been waiting for it to complete their collection of Pods that have been released this year. The 100 VIP bonus point is basically a $5 discount and is probably valued at the same price so it’s an even promo although I would’ve preferred something tangible.

Thanks to Jesse for clearing this up.

Remember the buildable characters that we had for the LEGO Seasonal sets in the past couple of years? It looks like the Seasonal sets are now expanding to the LEGO BrickHeadz line. LEGO has uploaded the first one in the series with the Valentine’s Bee (40270). It has 140 pieces and will most likely retail for $9.99 like before. In addition to the bee, there’s also some roses as supplementary builds as well.
