Sneak Peek at Rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center Set?

June 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

On this day 25 years ago, my favorite movie of all-time, Jurassic Park, was released in theaters and earlier today, LEGO released an image to celebrate the anniversary. The scene shows the end of the movie where the Tyrannosaurus Rex is inside the Visitor’s Center with the banner falling down.

If you look closely, you can actually see part of the Visitor’s Center in the background and could this be a teaser to the rumored LEGO Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center set? If you’ve been following my posts, I’ve talked about it on and off but there’s still no definite confirmation about it. One of my contacts says there is one coming but I cannot confirm it at this time. As we know by now, there’s already a 25th anniversary LEGO Jurassic Park set that has been released with the Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase (75932).

Thanks to anonymous for pointing this out.

The LEGO Group Announces Collaboration With IKEA to Promote Creative Play

June 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Group has announced that they are partnering up with the popular Swedish furniture company IKEA to promote more creative play in the home environment. The press release doesn’t go into detail of what will be happening with this partnership however my guess is that we could see LEGO branded furniture being sold at IKEA. Stay tuned as we expect more information in the near future about the LEGO/IKEA team-up.

IKEA AND THE LEGO GROUP IN COLLABORATION TO ENABLE MORE PLAY AND CREATIVITY

We know that play is an important part of life and we believe in the power of play. Play lets us be creative, explore, experiment, dream and discover. IKEA and the LEGO Group, join forces to encourage more play.

Play is key to develop. And it is an essential part of a better everyday life. Play is so many different things, for so many different people. In the everyday life there are different barriers for play. Some of the barriers are more evident for grown-ups. One being that grown-ups think that playing can be messy. Other barriers are more evident to children – like grown-ups trying to create order in the play environment, where children in fact enjoy and often immerse themselves in the midst of it all.

“It started with an invitation from the LEGO Group “Do you want to play?”. Of course we said yes to this and together we now want to enable more play by triggering play in the functionality of the everyday life. At IKEA we first

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Teaser Trailer Breakdown

June 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The big news yesterday was that teaser trailer for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part was released online yesterday and I’m going to try and do a breakdown of what happened in the trailer and what sets we could get from LEGO from what was shown.

It’s been five years since the events on Taco Tuesday and Bricksburg has turned into an apocalyptic wasteland. If you remember, LEGO DUPLO characters came at the end of The LEGO Movie and it looks like they caused the destruction of the city.

As a result, everything turned into chaos and it “toughened and hardened” most people including Larry the Barista who underwent a drastic change. The only person that seemingly didn’t get affected was Emmet.

Emmet thinks he sees a shooting star go by but it is most likely a device sent down by a new character named Sweet Mayhem who is a minidoll instead of a minifigure. Here we can see a new Unikitty who is now a large armored cat that has long front and hind legs.

Building their way through trouble is still an integral part of their characters as you can see them build a four-wheel buggy that could be one of the sets we could get.

Soon after that, they meet Sweet Mayhem, voiced by Stephanie Beatriz, who actually looks pretty cool. She is a minidoll style and wears a stylish helmet with some sparkly wings.

Wyldstyle and the others get captured and get a good shot at some of the new character … Continue

LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe Release Date Revealed?

June 6, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been over a year since the LEGO Ideas Voltron – Defender of the Universe hit 10,000 supporters and basically there has been no information about it since it was announced that it would become an official set. I did report on rumored pricing but now there might be information on a release date for the set. Candidbricks has found from a South Korean news site, IT Chosun, that Voltron would be released on August 1 as was told to them by an official from LEGO Korea. The reason for the long delay is because LEGO needed more time to get the license to produce the set.

Although a release date was stated, it’s still not a confirmation until LEGO actually announces it online or through a press release. I’m still thinking they will be showing it off at San Diego Comic Con next month as it is the perfect place to announce it.
