Arthur Parsons Leaves TT Games

April 30, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s some sad news out of the LEGO games space as Arthur Parsons has left TT Games after 22 years. During his time there, he was their Head of Design and eventually Game Director on many LEGO games. He was pretty the face of LEGO games as he did many interviews on stream during the years talking about various games. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Arthur a few times during San Diego Comic Con and even did a roundtable interview for LEGO Dimensions way back in 2016.

Arthur worked on many LEGO projects at TT Games and some of them are currently available in the Humble Bundle LEGO Built to Bundle charity campaign which will end in seven days.

Good luck to Arthur on his future endeavors.

After an incredible 22 years working at Tt Games today was my last day. I have a lifetime of memories working with THE BEST people on 30 or so brilliant games.
It has been an amazing journey, and I am thankful to have had the opportunities I have over the years. 1/2

The LEGO Group Named TIME 100 Most Influential Companies

April 27, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

TIME has released their first ever TIME 100 Most Influential Companies and The LEGO Group was one of the companies recognized for the honor. In the Innovators category, LEGO was named the most influential in fostering creativity. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, LEGO pushed forward with the Rebuild the World campaign to encourage kids and families to unlock their creativity by building.

During worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns, Lego creations have stacked up in homes with children. The company reported a 21% jump in sales, resulting from the immediate demand for in-home entertainment and the company’s pre-pandemic push to boost online sales globally. While its flagship product remains the classic brick, the 88-year-old family-owned company is evolving to recognize the diverse needs of young consumers with new offerings like Lego Braille Bricks and pandemic-inspired online content and hybrid learning resources. As families continue to hunker down, Lego love appears to be growing. “I have never gotten so many letters … [about] how important Lego play has been,” CEO Niels B. Christiansen tells TIME.

Supposedly coming out in a few months, it is said to retail for $299.99 and include a lot of sought after Marvel characters such as Venom, Spider-Woman, the Punisher, and Daredevil.

Jonah Jameson, Beetle, and Nova. If this new set is true, we could see some iconic Marvel characters in minifigure form.

New LEGO® Harry Potter™ sets explores the wonderment of the Wizarding World™

BILLUND, April 16th, 2021: Today, the LEGO Group and Warner Bros. Consumer Products have revealed a new captivating mix of LEGO® sets to help young witches and wizards explore the enchanting adventures of Harry Potter’s second year at Hogwarts™.

From the tantalizing tactics of Wizarding Chess to Polyjuice Potion trickery, the sets are packed full of popular characters, creatures and imaginative features to help young builders reenact their favorite adventures from the films, as well as crafting magical storylines of their own.

While the enchanted walls of Hogwarts set the scene for many of the new sets, builders can spread their wings and explore the rest of the wizarding world by taking flight with the fiery feathers of Dumbledore’s beloved Phoenix, Fawkes, or visiting the snow-capped streets of Hogsmeade Village.

Is Luigi Coming to LEGO Super Mario?

April 15, 2021 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Super Mario was released last year and according to LEGO, it was one of the company’s most successful theme launches. The most notable thing that was missing from the theme was his brother, Luigi. I’ve been forward a few times of a tweet showing a video that could suggest Luigi might be coming to the theme in the future.

According to the video by Jay Phoenix (shown below), he turned on his Mario figure after a new update and you can hear Mario looking for Luigi. Of course, I tried it with my figure and it didn’t do it. In fact, the firmware update actually bugged out my Mario and the screens are all scrambled. Jay Phoenix mentioned that he put Mario on his back and propped him up after a few minutes.

Have you downloaded the latest update and did your Mario look for Luigi as well or did it function normally?

So, was fiddling about with LEGO Mario for the first time in ages cos of that new treasure hunt update and pic.twitter.com/Ztk44ZAY3G
