April 16, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The new LEGO Technic Liebherr R 9800 (42100) was revealed at the 2019 Nuremberg Toy Fair but there were no images of the set until the Bauma 2019 convention last week. At that event, LEGO showed off their new flagship Technic set that will be available on August 1. The 4,108 piece Liebherr R 9800 will be utilizing a new CONTROL+ system that allows multiple functions to work simultaneously using seven motors. There’s no word on the price in US dollars but it was reported that it costs 449.99€ in Germany.

LEGO Technic introduces CONTROL+ as a new smart device connected way of controlling the LEGO Technic products. CONTROL+ uses new electronic components and a free, linked app to give children and adults an even more authentic play experience. CONTROL+ allows realistic multi-function control plus a range of other options, including programming several simultaneous motion sequences for the models. The app also displays data feedback from the model. LEGO Technic CONTROL+ can be experienced for the first time from 1 August 2019 with the replica of the Liebherr R 9800, one of the largest excavators in the world. The LEGO Technic model consists of more than 4000 parts, seven motors and two smart hubs, and can perform several movements at the same time. “We see our new Control+ App as a platform where we in the next many years have the opportunity to develop and deliver deeper and richer LEGO Technic play experiences with the physical model at the center, and we are happy to have

New LEGO Star Wars Video Game Coming in 2019 and Rumored Details

April 15, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

At Star Wars Celebration 2019, Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer Matt Wood has revealed that there will be a new LEGO Star Wars Video Game coming this year. There was no details given as it was just a project that he was listing off that they are working on.

I’ve actually known about this game since early last year. It was said that “the new LEGO Star Wars is the most important game TT has released, ever.” The game is rumored to be completely remastered and will feature all 9 films from the Skywalker saga as well as part of the Extended Universe. It was also said that it would use procedurally generated worlds, similar to what LEGO Worlds uses, to explore in space while using hundreds of characters to play as.

We’ll probably hear more about the game during San Diego Comic Con but in the meantime, check out the clip where Matt Wood just skims by the announcement.

Carter Baldwin Joins LEGO as Product Designer

April 13, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve been in LEGO for a while, you may have seen MOCs by Carter Baldwin. I first met Carter a few years ago during Philly Brick Fest and he’s a really cool guy with tons of talent. One of my favorite builds of his is the Alien Queen from earlier this year but he also does great work on a variety of vehicles. Where I’m going with this is that Carter has announced that he has been hired on by LEGO as a Product Designer in Denmark. Although he didn’t state what theme he will be working on, I’m sure that there will be some good stuff coming to LEGO soon. Again, LEGO does notice regular fans who has fantastic builds and talent and will continue to hire them if they work hard enough.

April 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today was the big day for Star Wars fans as the teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker was released. This movie is the culmination of the Skywalker saga that started over 40 years ago and it’ll be in theaters this December. The teaser shows some pretty cool scenes but the ending gives off an impression that a certain Sith Lord has returned. Based off what you’ve seen so far, what do you think we’ll be getting from LEGO later this year?
