2015 First Quarter LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure Bar Elements

January 22, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I recently featured the new 2015 first quarter LEGO Store Pick-A-Brick Wall elements and while I was there, I also had a chance to take a look at some of the new stuff on the Build-A-Minifigure bar. There were so many things I haven’t seen there so some of them might have been available before but I didn’t notice them. Note the above image is from the previous quarter because I forgot to take a picture of it with the new stuff. Again, most of these elements will be available at different locations but some stores may not have the same ones.

For the heads, the one that stood out the most for me is the queasy guy’s head from the LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer (10244). The set was released just last year and I was surprised to see that head available already. Another head that stood out was the Overlord’s from the LEGO Ninjago Battle for Ninjago City (70728). It might not fit in with many things but it’s cool for some themed MOCs. The rest are some general ones that you can use in many situations.

One of our readers has tweeted us a new LEGO City Playmat (5002936) that we could be seeing here in the States this year. The playmat is double-sided and on one side it has a setting for the new 2015 Swamp Police sets while the other side has a setting for the Construction sets. If it is released here, it’ll probably retail for $14.99 like previously released playmats. Thanks to Eric for the heads up.

2015 First Quarter LEGO Store Pick-A-Brick Wall

January 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I finally had time to get to my local LEGO Store to check out the new elements on the Pick-A-Brick Wall. During each quarter of the year, you can expect some new stuff showing up on the wall that you may not have seen before. Some of them are labeled with themes that the parts would go well with and for this quarter they include LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Friends as well as some that go well with anything in general. From my understanding, these elements are sent to LEGO Stores throughout the US so you may also have seen them already.

For elements that go well with LEGO Star Wars, we have light bluish gray modified 1x1s with handle, trans-orange cheese slopes, trans-red round 1x1s, trans-neon yellow round 2x2s, and black 1x2s with clip.

For the LEGO Friends elements, we got pink 1×2 tiles, lavender 1×2 plates, lime green 1×1 studs, dark bluish gray modified 1x2s with arms, light bluish gray 2×2 tiles, white modified 1×2 grills, and trans-green round 1x1s.

Finally for the general parts, there were black modified 1x1s with headlight, medium blue 1×2 plates, orange 1x2s, yellow 1x2s with printed face, dark pink 1×2 bricks, tan 2x3s, lime 4×4 plates, medium blue 2x4s, black palm tree tops, and lime 45 slopes.

Overall, there are some very nice elements for this quarter with some of the more popular ones being the grey 2×2 tiles, the yellow 1x2s with faces, and surprisingly the medium blue 2×4 brick. Again, shout out to Genevieve for … Continue

January 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Ever since the new LEGO Elves theme was revealed last year, many fans have been wondering what the theme is about. Even when the official images came out, there was still a mystery of what was going on. Fortunately, Aanchir over on Eurobricks has linked to UK online retailer The Hut who has posted descriptions of each of the upcoming sets so we now know some backstory of the LEGO Elves theme which will be released in March. It seems that the Elves has to help Emily Jones find magical keys to bring her back home. Check out the descriptions of all 6 sets below.

Aira’s Creative Workshop (41071)

Aira’s elf friends need to find 4 magic keys to help send Emily Jones back home to the human world, and they need her help right away! Fit the flying machine to Aira’s back, then help her catch the next gust of wind and soar through the sky. Later, join Aira at her desk and use the quill to design her next extraordinary invention.

LEGO Boxes – To Keep or Not To Keep

January 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve come to a point in my LEGO career that after collecting sets for the past 3 years, I’ve ran into a small dilemma. During that time, I’ve amassed quite a number of different sets and have built many of them which leaves the boxes laying around in various places. You guys may or may not know about this but I have a habit of keeping a lot of things that take up space, maybe a little too much. Some may even call this hoarding.

The problem now lies with the LEGO boxes that I have. I have two large LEGO Store bags full of them as you can see from the images. Some are quite large while some are pretty small. The question I have for you guys is and I’m pretty sure many of you have run into the same problem. Do you keep the boxes, toss them out, or do you recycle them? If you do keep the boxes, do you also flatten them or keep them intact to keep their integrity for sentimental reasons? Since there are many older sets that will never be produced again, this is probably the last and only chance you can have that particular box in your hands when they are retired from shelves.

Let me know in the comments below or on our Facebook Page of what you do with your LEGO boxes.
