December 29, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

We’re winding down 2016 and it’s time to continue with my “Top 10” lists and this time it’s for the most viewed LEGO posts of the year. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love to look at statistics. In regards to what the top posts were this year, I was actually a little surprised to see what showed up on my analytics.

1. LEGO Winter 207 Rumored Set List

As usual, you guys like reading up about some of the LEGO sets that we’ll be getting in the future. This list came out in August so some of the sets have already hit store shelves and online.

2. LEGO Nuremberg Toy Fair 2016 Set Images

Not surprisingly, the toy fair season has everyone hyped for it since we get our first look at the spring and summer sets.

3. LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store Achieves 10,000 Supporters

This post really took my by surprise as to how high it is on this list. This project was eventually announced that it will become an official LEGO Ideas set that will be coming out in Fall 2017.

4. LEGO November 2016 Store Calendar Promotions & Events

Another post that came out in the second half of the year which many people read up on a lot. Most were excited for the Snowglobe and Nutcracker Ornament GWPs.

The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide Shows Rumored Summer 2017 Sets

December 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 17 Comments

I’ve just picked up the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide and in it, there are images of some rumored summer 2017 sets that I’ve previously reported on.

The first is the Batwing that is said to be released. The book calls this version of the Batwing the “Black Thunder.” Further along in the book in the villains section, we get a look at some of the other sets that were rumored to come out in the summer. The first is Two-Face with his wrecking machine. Next to him is Harley Quinn with her vehicle with a cannon that was going to be a part of the Black Thunder Batwing set. On the next page, we get a look at the Scarecrow Scarecopter. Finally, there’s a look at the Bane bigfig along with his six-wheel vehicle.

You can now purchase The LEGO Batman Movie: The Essential Guide over on Amazon but the Barnes & Noble version also includes a poster with it. I’ll review the book in the next few days.

The perfect companion to LEGO Batman’s first solo movie, The LEGO® Batman™ Movie: The Essential Guide showcases the full range of exciting LEGO Batman sets and minifigures that will be released to tie in with the film’s release. Heroes, villains, vehicles, and locations are all explored in classic DK style, with lively and informative nonfiction text to annotate and expand upon lavish reference images of LEGO Batman sets and scenes from the movie.

LEGO to Announce New Play Experience January 4

December 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

For the past week, LEGO has been teasing on Facebook about a new play experience that boosts creativity. The first video just shows a flashing vertical light bar while a new video today shows a flashing RGB light with some more non-flashing lights. They also announced that whatever this is will be revealed next Wednesday, January 4. My guess is that it could be a new LEGO Mindstorms since the EV3 (31313) was released back in 2013 and it’s probably due time for a new version. What are you guys’ guesses on what this new thing is? Let us know in the comments below.

Top 10 LEGO 2016 Sets

December 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

I’ve had quite a few readers asking if I would do a post about my top 10 LEGO sets of 2016. Since this is the last week of the year, I guess this is now a good time to do that post. According to Brickset, there was 828 sets released this year, including gift with purchase sets, so whittling it down to 10 is quite hard to do. Again, this is just my list of top 10 sets and may vary from other people.

10. LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827)

Probably one of the best items for any Ghostbusters fan is the Firehouse Headquarters (75827). Coming in at over 4,600 pieces, there is a ton of little details from both the original Ghostbusters movies that you can find. Check out my review of the set here.

9. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057)

As one of the largest non-D2C LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set to be released, the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) is a great set with lots of exclusive minifigures included such as Scarlet Spider and Kraven. Many fans have even bought two sets to make a complete bridge.

8. LEGO Creator Vacation Getaways (31052)

This 3-in-1 set is a pretty neat set that looks great as the standard model but can also be rebuilt into a summer home and a yacht. The RV is one of the best models of this type of vehicle I’ve seen.

LEGO Dimensions Upcoming Expansion Packs Datamined

December 27, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 10 Comments

Here’s something very interesting coming from one of our readers who have shared some information about some upcoming LEGO Dimensions expansion packs. We already knew that we would be getting expansion packs from franchises such as Teen Titans Go! and LEGO City Undercover when it was first announced.

A reader did some datamining and found some expansion packs that would be coming out for some franchises. Looking at the info, it looks like LEGO City: Undercover will be a Chase McCain Fun Pack while Teen Titans Go! will be a Team Pack which includes both Raven and Beast Boy. For that set, it’ll be either 71254 or 71255. There’s also some details of the Powerpuff Girls which will include all three characters of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. No word about which expansion pack(s) they will be in.

What’s most interesting out of the screenshot is the Lord Vortech Fun Pack which could mean that we’ll finally be getting a Lord Vortech minifigure which fans have been asking for since LEGO Dimensions was first released. Of course, this could be just dummy info to throw everyone off but we’ll see.

Thanks to Matthew for the info.

It looks like there’s another The LEGO Batman Movie polybag to search for in the near future. Delta Customs over on Instagram has posted what appears to be an Asian exclusive polybag featuring Batman in his yellow striped tuxedo in some sort of vault case with some accessories. No word on how to get it but it looks pretty neat.
