LEGO Inside Tour 2015 Details Announced

September 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brickset has reported that LEGO has published details about next year’s LEGO Inside Tour. If you haven’t heard of the LEGO Inside Tour, it takes you on an very unique tour where you can visit Ole Kirk Christiansen’s original house, meet the LEGO designers, as well as take a look at the Billund factory. Another perk that you get from the tour is the exclusive set that is given away to attendees. This year’s set was The LEGOLAND Train (4000014).

If you’ve tried to applying for a spot on the tour before, you know that it’s extremely difficult to get in since they sell out within minutes. The LEGO Inside Tour is even harder to get in than San Diego Comic Con and I know how hard it is to get tickets to SDCC.

Registration for LEGO Inside Tour opens at 1.00 PM on Monday 3 November 2014 (Danish time)

There are four different tours that potential attendees can get in to:

5 May – 8 May
19 May – 22 May
9 June – 12 June
16 June – 19 June

The price for the tour has increased by 10% from 13,000 DKK last year to 14,500 DKK ($2500, £1500, 1900€) this year. Also, travel accommodations to Billund is NOT included so you will have to arrange that yourself.

LEGO BIONICLE is Returning in 2015

September 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has finally revealed what their big announcement was and it is indeed LEGO BIONICLE will be back in 2015. They’ve posted a video of the Mask of Creation which we already reported on last week so it wasn’t really a big secret considering LEGO accidentally spoiled it earlier this week.

LEGO BIONICLE makes their triumphant return after it was originally discountinued back in 2010 and being replaced by LEGO Hero Factory. BIONICLE was a very popular theme and was one of the themes that brought LEGO back from near bankruptcy (Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry).

There’s no doubt that many fans are happy are that this theme is returning next year. BZPower is also reporting that LEGO will be revealing the information about the sets at New York Comic Con on October 9th as well as on social media so stay tuned for that. We already know the set names so they’ll probably reveal some of them at NYCC.

LEGO Announcement Accidentally Revealed? – (Spoilers)

September 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this morning, we reported that LEGO will be making an announcement to “reveal something very exciting.” It looks like LEGO has accidentally spilled the beans on what this announcement could be.

Over on LEGO’s Google+ post of the same image, you can see the details of the photo and the file name says “Bionicle-4-new.jpg20140915-4177-5fuc51.jpg.” This pretty much almost confirms that they will be announcing the return of LEGO BIONICLE in 2015 and shoots down my guess that it could be the LEGO Ideas results. For many of us in the LEGO community, we already knew about the return of LEGO BIONICLE next year but for the general public who aren’t in the know, this is news to them.

We’ll keep you updated but it kinda lessens the excitement just a tad bit.
