LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) and Star Wars Death Star (75159) Now Available for VIPs

September 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The holiday season is slowly creeping up and to kick it off, the LEGO Creator Winter Holiday Train (10254) is now available for VIP members on Shop@Home and at LEGO Brand Stores. The set contains 734 pieces and retails for $99.99.

Unlike last year when LEGO released the Winter Toy Shop (10249), a lot of people were upset that it was basically just a re-release of a previous set however, the Winter Holiday Train is not a copy of the 10173 set from 2006. This set also has 16 curved train tracks included so you can create a whole circle. You can also motorize the train with Power Functions but they are not included with the set.

The other set is that available for VIPs today is the LEGO Star Wars Death Star (75159). This version of the Death Star has similar features to the previous 10188 version but has slight updates and a couple of new minifigures. Although a lot of Star Wars fans may not like it because it’s pretty much a rehash of the old one, it is geared towards fans who have just started collecting LEGO Star Wars and missed out on the previous version which was recently retired. The Death Star (75159) will have 4,016 pieces and retail for $499.99.

One thing to note is that there aren’t any worthwhile promotions going on at this month so if you can hold off until October, you can get Double VIP points plus the Holiday Countdown Calendar (40222) with the … Continue

September 12, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few weeks ago, LEGO officially revealed the lineup for the LEGO Star Wars: Rogue One sets that will be released on Force Friday, September 30. As you may have noticed from the Buildable Figures sets, there are still some main characters that haven’t been featured yet. There’s now a report from CM4Sci on Eurobricks of the names of the Buildable Figures that coming next year:

Shore Trooper (75523)
Chirrut Imwe (75524)

He has also mentioned some more Microfighters which will be Rogue One related including the U-Wing, Krennic’s Shuttle, TIE Striker, and an iconic Star Wars ship. Also, the last of the system sets is rumored to be some sort of bunker battle and another iconic Star Wars ship.

You can probably start guessing what ships that are implied to be iconic but the the list isn’t very long if you’ve seen the movies.

Update: CM4Sci has stated that the iconic ship is the Y-Wing.

LEGO Ideas Supporter Milestones Changes Announced

September 9, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, the LEGO Ideas team announced some changes and updates to the platform. The most notable change is the one regarding the amount of days you get to achieve a certain amount of supporters. With the change, new Ideas projects will now only have 60 days to reach 100 supporters and after that, they will get a year more time. The current six month boosts at 1,000 supporters and 5,000 supporters will remain the same. Also, existing projects with less than 100 supporters will have their times adjusted to 60 as well. This change affected about 58% of the all the active projects.

This change obviously will clean up the site a bit more and will help weed out more projects that are just posted on there just because. This also means that people will have to think of other ideas of how to promote their projects. You can check out all new changes and updates to LEGO Ideas in the link above.

LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Rumored Set for 2017

September 6, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Remember there was a rumor that we may be getting some LEGO sets based on the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales which turned out to be false? If may seem that the rumor may indeed be true. According to one of my sources, they sent me a message regarding sets based on the movie and word has it that there will only be one fairly large set, with the price range around $200-$250. It was stated that it may be one of the new pirate ships in the franchise, possibly the Dying Gull or the Silent Mary. If you’ve read up on the movie, the Dying Gull and the Silent Mary are the two new pirate ghost ships that will be featured in the film.

LEGO did a couple of ships back in 2011 for PotC: On Stranger Tides with The Black Pearl (4148) and Queen Anne’s Revenge (4195) but it’ll be cool to have another ship to add to the fleet if this rumor is true about the LEGO PotC: Dead Men Tell No Tales set. We’re still a long ways away from the premiere of the movie in May 26, 2017 but hopefully we’ll be able to get more concrete information by the end of this year or early next year.
