Builders can also place the Captain Rex and Admiral Yuralen minifigures from LEGO® on the in-built stand.

What LEGO Disney Mini Sets You Want to See in the Future?

September 2, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The last couple of years, LEGO has released some smaller LEGO Disney sets based on iconic locations in their history such as the Mini Disney Castle (40478) and the Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion (40521). That theme will be continuing this year as yesterday they revealed the Mini Disney Palace of Agrabah (40613) which will be releasing in October. It’s a similar style to the previous two sets but it will not include a minifigure which is the most glaring omission.

Nevertheless, it’s another location from a Disney IP and that makes me wonder what we could be seeing in the future if they do decide to continue this line. There’s almost an unlimited number of locales that LEGO could use from their vast range of IPs. Even just at the Disney parks, there’s a bunch of rides that could be made like Space Mountain, the Monorail, and the Dumbo Flying Elephant. If you’re a fan of these sets, what do you want to see LEGO make in the future if they do decide to continue the line?

LEGO x Fortnite Teaser in New Play Unstoppable Video?

August 28, 2023 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A couple hours ago, LEGO posted a video online for their Play Unstoppable campaign featuring Loserfruit. If you’re not familiar with Loserfruit, she’s a popular online gamer who mainly focuses on Fortnite. This collaboration could be a teaser to another upcoming campaign for LEGO Fortnite.

If you haven’t heard about it the past few months, it’s been highly rumored that there will be a LEGO x Fortnite crossover coming soon. Last year, LEGO entered into a long-term partnership with Epic Games to provide a safe place in for kids in the metaverse. It was said that the two companies will build an immersive, creatively inspiring digial experience for kids. Within the past few months, details of the crossover were leaked online. I don’t play Fortnite at all so I’m not sure how credible the rumors are.
