LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Rumored Pre-Order Minifigure

May 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 was just announced last week and the official trailer doesn’t drop for another two days. Fans are already speculating there will be a pre-order bonus to go with the game since almost every recent standalone LEGO game had one before. Easy guesses are Spider-Man 2099 and Spider-Gwen since they are in the center of the cover art. Even Cowboy Captain America is strange enough to be one as well.

From what I am hearing, it won’t be any of the characters listed above but someone very random called Goliath. If you’re a comic book fan, Goliath is actually Hank Pym who was the original Ant-Man. Goliath is created when he used his growing power after he retired Giant-Man.

Although Goliath is a random choice for a minifigure, he is exclusive since we never had one in minifigure form but fans who wanted other characters will have to wait a little longer. Keep in mind that LEGO does not have to include a pre-order minifigure so this is actually a bonus, plus you get another member of the Avengers. Do you think Goliath is a good choice for the exclusive pre-order minifigure for LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2?

LEGO Ideas Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 16 Comments

The Gilmore Girls – Luke’s Diner by Rainer Zufall is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The setting for the project is from a prominent location from the popular comedy-drama show on the WB/CW. It also proposes minifigures of Lorelai, Luke, Rory, Jess, Lane, and Kirk.

The project hit the milestone in less than a month due to its coverage on online publications like Buzzfeed, Fortune, Time, and Mashable, just to name a few. I honestly did not watch Gilmore Girls so I’m not sure of its popularity even though I’ve heard of it before. It is the first project to reach the Second 2017 Review Stage.

Official LEGO Fidget Spinner Building Instructions

May 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

The current fad, at least here in the US, is fidget toys and fidget spinners. Before the ship has sailed, it appears that LEGO has produced official building instructions for two versions of the toy.

The builds are very similar with no exclusive parts but it depends if you want to hold a turntable piece or a Technic pin. Of course, you can still customize the LEGO Fidget Spinner to your liking.

Various LEGO Sales on Amazon

May 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Amazon is currently having very good sales on sets from various LEGO themes including a couple that are at a pretty decent price points for what you get.

First is the LEGO City City Square (60097) which is at $135.99. That is 28% off the normal price of $189.99 or $54 off. You do get a lot of cool builds with the set including the tram, LEGO Store as well as the LEGO delivery truck which we rarely see.

The next set that I think is a good buy is the LEGO Minecraft The Fortress (21127). It is currently at $67 or 39% off the normal price of $109.99. This brings the price/piece ratio to about $0.07. As with other Minecraft sets, you do get a good amount of parts anyways if you’re just buying it for parts.

Finally, we have a couple of LEGO Star Wars sets to help you build up your fleet. The Resistance X-Wing Fighter (75149) is at $56.72 which is currently 29% off the normal price of $79.99. This is a better price point since it’s mostly a recolor of Poe’s X-Wing Fighter (75102).

The other LEGO Star Wars set that I think is at a good price is the TIE Striker (75154). It’s almost at it’s lowest price ever on Amazon but good enough to recommend. It currently sits at $44.18 which is 37% off the regular price of $69.99.

Earlier today, The LEGO Group has announced that they have reached their 100% renewable energy target three years ahead of schedule.
