LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue

LEGO City Summer 2018 Hospital (60204) Set Revealed

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten one but there are now images of the new upcoming LEGO City Hospital (60204). If you’ve been collecting City sets, you would know that a LEGO hospital set has been really rare the past few years since the theme has been dominated by Police and Firefighting sets.

In this set, you get the three story hospital along with an ambulance as well as a helicopter. For the minifigures, there are doctors, nurses, paramedics, numerous patients including one in a wheelchair, and a family with a stroller.

All in all, the Hospital is a great addition to any City layout and for those who haven’t had a chance to get one before, this one is a great opportunity to add to your collection.

The Toys That Made Us Returns May 25 Including LEGO Episode

April 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It has been announced that The Toys That Made Us will be returning to Netflix on May 25, 2018. There will be four episodes that will be coming which includes Transformers, LEGO, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek. Yes that’s right, we’re finally going to get to see the LEGO episode that was teased about a few months ago. There’s no details on what the episode will consist of but it’ll probably feature some AFOLs from Bricks LA from earlier this year as well as some footage from Billund. It was stated in a comment on my previous post about the show that the LEGO episode will focus on things that previous LEGO documentaries didn’t focus on. Whatever that means, it’ll be exciting to see what that could be.

First Look at LEGO Fantastic Beasts Niffler Figure

April 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Just a short while ago, J.K. Rowling over on her Twitter posted the first image of the LEGO Wizarding World Niffler figure. It’s most likely that it will appear in the upcoming Newt Scamander’s Suitcase set coming later this year. We’ve already seen one set last month based on Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald film with Grindelwald’s Escape. It looks like LEGO and Warner Bros. will be teasing more images of upcoming sets as we get up to San Diego Comic Con.

LEGO Elves Emily & Noctura's Showdown (41195)

The official images of the summer 2018 LEGO Elves sets are now listed on Italian site Radio Kontrol. It looks to be that there are only two sets in the wave which could suggest the theme is slowly winding down but don’t take my word for it. This year marks the fourth year of LEGO Elves and it is roughly about the lifespan of a particular theme.
