Cutaway Style LEGO Sydney Opera House at Brickvention 2014

January 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Currently, there are two official LEGO Sydney Opera House sets, the Architecture set (21012) as well as the Creator set (10234). There is also another model that has been created but it won’t be sold because this is a model of the iconic building created by LEGO Master Model Builders Ryan McNaught and Erik Varszegi. They have created a 75,000 piece cutaway style of the Sydney Opera House and was displayed at Brickvention 2014. This particular model costs about $25,000 and took aroud 300 hours to complete in a period of 38 working days. Ryan had to digitally design the Opera House first because Erik worked out of company headquarters in Enfield, Connecticut. After his section was completed, it had to be carefully transported to Australia.

In the cutaway section, you can see all the intricate details of the building including the stage, the auditorium, as well as the dressing rooms. This piece of work is absolutely incredible and the estimated 20,000 lucky attendees of Brickvention got to take a closeup look at it. Ryan notes, “I’ve always wanted to do the Opera House and it’s been my personal Mount Everest of Lego, it’s been bugging me for years and years because it’s such a difficult shape.” The Sydney Opera House will most likely be used in future promotional tours as well as museum exhibitions. Check out more images of the model below or head over to Ryan’s Flickr to see larger images.

LEGO CUUSOO Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (21104) Review

January 8, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in August 18, 2012, the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover project by Stephen Pakbaz, aka Perijove, achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. At the beginning of the year, it became available for purchase on LEGO Shop@Home and sold out very quickly. I’ve managed to get one before stock ran out and here’s my take on it. The Curiosity Rover (21104) contains 295 and retails for $29.99. At 295 pieces, this set is currently the smallest CUUSOO set that has been released by LEGO. The box contains one instructions book, four un-numbered bags, and two loose 8×16 tan plates.

The LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) Be Released Next Month?

January 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There are some new developments of the LEGO The Simpsons House (71006). Skalldyr on Eurobricks was told that the release date would be January 17th for LEGO VIP Members. After some discussion in the forums, it may be a miscommunication but CM4S has linked to the February LEGO Calendar (see below) and it says on February 17th, VIP Members can preview and buy and new exclusive LEGO set. Could this mean The Simpsons House could be released as early as next month? As we reported last year, the house was tentatively set to be released in April. Could LEGO have shifted the release date of the set up a whole month early or could it be another exclusive set that will be released in February? BrickFair Alabama 2014 is happening this weekend so we could have some official at that time. We’ll have more details as they become available.

Update: The Simpsons House is officially revealed.

Trevi Fountain (21020) is Next LEGO Architecture Set

January 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Brickset is reporting that the next LEGO Architecture set will be the Trevi Fountain (21020). The fountain is located in Rome, Italy and was designed by Nicola Salvi. The Trevi Fountain is one of the most well-known fountains in the world and is a major tourist attraction in Rome. One of traditions to do at the fountain is to throw coins into it. The legend states throwing one coin means a return to Rome, throw two coins and it leads to a new romance and finally, a third coin leads to marriage.

The new Architecture set was discovered on South African LEGO retailer Kiddiwinks. There’s no other details at this time. If you’ve think you’ve seen the set number before, you probably have. It is the same as the April Fools set that Brickset “announced” last year.
