LEGO Store April 2015 Monthly Mini Build Event UFO (40129) Review

April 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this week, the LEGO April 2015 Monthly Mini Build took place and I was able to attend the event. For this month, the build was a little UFO (40129) which continues the Space type builds for this year. The event itself seemed extra busy, maybe because kids are still on Spring Break.

LEGO April 2015 Monthly Mini Build - UFO (40129)

The 39 piece UFO is a simple build and has your typical UFO look to it. There isn’t much to say about it but I do like the color scheme and there are a few useful parts like the clear dome and dish pieces.

Next month’s build will stray away from the Space theme and be introducing a Koala (40130). Props to the Fashion Valley LEGO Store staff for keeping it running smoothly. If you missed out on this month’s building event, there are two more chances with the LEGO Club Meetings on April 18 & 25.

LEGO Ideas RMS Titanic Achieves 10,000 Supporters

April 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Stepping away from the exciting LEGO Dimensions news today, I have some more LEGO Ideas news to report. The RMS Titanic by Ssorg enters the First 2015 Review Stage fray as it becomes the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Ssorg has proposed two different sized builds for the passenger liner depending on what LEGO decides to do while reviewing it. Note that the sizes of the Titanic are scaled according to the real one.

The projects is the fourth one to hit 10k supporters on LEGO Ideas in the last 6 days and joins a crowded list in the review stage which includes The Discworld, Science Adventures, Medieval Market Street, Disney Princess Frozen Elsa’s Ice Palace, Douglas DC-3, Bricksauria – Tyrannosaurus Rex, the International Space Station, The Golden Girls, and The Legend of Zelda: King of Red Lions Play Set. I believe this will also have the most sets in a single review stage with 10 projects currently vying for that coveted spot to become an official set. Ssorg doubles his chances in this review stage since his Douglas DC-3 also reaching 10k supporters earlier this year.

Final Teaser Revealed for Scheduled LEGO Announcement Tomorrow

April 8, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO continues to tease us with another mysterious image today with this one featuring Batman. There have been images popping up on various social media accounts feature LEGO minifigures like Lord of the Rings with Gandalf and Wyldstyle from The LEGO Movie. In addition, LEGO has posted a short video featuring Joel McHale finding a mysterious glowing box at his front door with the caption “A mysterious box in front of an unassuming doorway… Interesting way to #BreakTheRules”.

Many people in the LEGO community believe that these teasers are for the new LEGO toys-to-life video game called LEGO Dimensions which will be released this year. This new game will “break” into the industry where Activision’s Skylanders, Disney’s Infinity, and Nintendo’s amiibo have dominated the marketplace. The meaning of these teasers aren’t that long as there will be a big reveal sometime tomorrow.

The LEGO Movie Mysterious Message Being Revealed on Thursday

April 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s a mysterious image posted on the official The LEGO Movie Facebook Page that shows Wyldstyle standing in front of the portal with the hashtag #BreakTheRules. What’s interesting is the caption also says “2 Days. It’ll be like Taco Tuesday… but on a Thursday” so it seems something big will be revealed on Thursday. The Lord of the Rings Facebook Page also has something similar with Gandalf in the image. What could this be? I doubt it’ll be something to do with The LEGO Movie Sequel since that movie is still three years away and they’re still in the early stages of production. Could it have to do with some of the spinoff movies that will be coming out in the next few years?

Rumors has it that the reveal will be the new LEGO Dimensions toys-to-life game that will be releasing this year. We shall all see what this all means together on Thursday!
