Continuing with my reviews of the LEGO Overwatch sets, the next one I’ll be taking a look at is the Dorado Showdown (75972). It contains 419 pieces and retails for $29.99, a decent price for licensed set with that many parts.

Last week, LEGO officially revealed the next modular building with the LEGO Creator Corner Garage (10264) and they have also released the designer video for the set. LEGO designer Lars Joe goes though some of the details for each floor of the set. One little cool Easter egg that you may not know is that that the second floor is Dr. Jones’ Animal Care. It seems that an older Indiana Jones has traded his whip for a stethoscope in this set. The Corner Garage has 2,569 pieces and will be available starting on January 1.
It’s been a while but there’s another LEGO Ideas project that has achieved 10,000 supporters with the Food Stand Diners by FrostBricks. The project features three food stands that are designed to resemble a life size food counterpart including drinks, burgers, and fries. The project now joins the Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection and Chemical Plant as the projects to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.
When the LEGO Overwatch theme was first announced back in May, I literally had to sit down at work and soak it all in. There was no actual reveal of the sets by LEGO themselves as we found them using some tricky methods. The LEGO Overwatch sets will be coming out in a few weeks and we were lucky enough to get our hands on the sets ahead of time thanks to LEGO. The first set I’ll be taking a look at is Tracer vs. Widowmaker (75970). It has 129 pieces and retails for $14.99 which is a little high but let’s check it out and see if it is worth the price.
Christmas is only two weeks away and Warner Bros. has released a new animated short called Emmet’s Holiday Party: A LEGO Movie Short. In the short, Emmet is trying to bring some cheer to Apocalypseburg in times of despair while Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi and Sweet Mayhem watch on. Check out the full two and a half minute video below.
Starting tomorrow, LEGO will have a new promotional item with the LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253). You can get it with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last. After taking a year off, LEGO introduces the 28 piece Reindeer Head which joins the 2014 Christmas Train (5002813), 2015 Christmas Train (5003083), and the 2016 Toy Soldier (5004420).
Like with the previous ornaments, the parts are inside a little green pouch along with the instructions and the string.
The build is very straight-forward and the finished result looks a lot like a reindeer head mount which is kind of morbid. I do recommend changing the black 1×1 round plate for the nose to a red one to represent Rudolph as it makes the build a bit more festive.
Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.
