LEGO 2016 Official Set Images (Partial)

October 10, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’m not sure how long these will stay up but Bothan spies (whung, CM4sci, J2G) over on Eurobricks has found a slew of LEGO 2016 set images found on LEGO’s servers already. Note that these images are official and do not have watermarks but LEGO can decide to remove them from the servers at any time. Some of the images are system sets while some are promotional or polybag sets. What sets are you looking forward to?

Update: LEGO has taken down all their links on their server but the good folks at Brickset had them backed up.

Update 2: LEGO has begun telling sites to remove the images so I’ve complied to their wish. If you’re looking for them, they’re still out there on the web. You just have to find them.

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) Showing Up at Target

October 8, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, I reported that the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) will be coming to Target stores sometime this year and it looks like they’ve finally showed up. There have been multiple reports that the polybag has been found on endcaps in the toy section as well as at checkout lanes for $3.99. The DPCI number for it is 204-00-0479 so you can use an inventory checker to see if there are any near your area. This is probably the cheapest way to get the Joker minifigure and the bumper car isn’t too bad either. Thanks to Dan for messaging this in.

October 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s never too early for Christmas but here’s a short review of a little Seasonal set I found at the LEGO Store this week, the Holiday Scene Magnet (853353). It’s interesting because this set has been sold since 2011 and it’s still available for purchase on Shop@Home. The set contains 48 pieces and retails for $9.99. The contents of the Christmas Scene Magnet include a small bag with the parts, a small instruction sheet, and a sticker sheet with the words Merry Christmas in different languages.

Great LEGO Sets: A Visual History Book Review

September 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few weeks ago, DK sent in one of their upcoming books with Great LEGO Sets: A Visual History. I’ve already done a review of the Micro-Scale Space Cruiser (11910) that’s included with the book which has 256 pages and normally retails for $40.

Great LEGO Sets starts off with a visual timeline of some of the important events and key developments in LEGO set history. If you’re a newer LEGO fan, you probably didn’t know that some of the best LEGO sets came out in the 1980s like Blacktron and Futuron including the Monorail Transport System (6990). A few years after that, M-Tron was released as a new LEGO Space subtheme.

The next chapter gives an in-depth description of how a LEGO set is made. A few LEGO designers also chime in to give some information on the whole development process including Mark John Stafford and Jamie Berard, just to name a few. It’s a very interesting chapter of how a set goes from an idea to being on store shelves.

After that, we get to the meat of the book where it starts going in-depth of some notable sets from LEGO’s history. The sets are divided in chapters by decades starting from the 1950s to 2015. For each set, there’s either a one or two page spread detailing some specifics and why they make it a great set. There is a sub-section called the Guided Tour where it shows some key features of the sets. Another section is called Brick by Brick and … Continue
