LEGO Ideas Celebrates 10 Years

November 8, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today LEGO celebrates an amazing ten years of LEGO Ideas as a crowdsourcing platform for fans. It all started back in 2008 as LEGO CUUSOO during the beta phase and it eventually changed to LEGO Ideas which we now have today. The first set made for CUUSOO was the Shinkai 6500 Submarine (21100) and the first one under the LEGO Ideas name was the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108). There now has been 23 sets that have been officially released so far and it doesn’t look like it will be stopping any time soon. Which LEGO Ideas set is your favorite?

LEGO Minifigure Evolution Throughout the Years

September 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Continuing on with my coverage of the 40th anniversary of the LEGO minifigure, we now turn our attention to the evolution of the minifigure. LEGO has sent over a number of images of various minifigures which show them as a prototype from the mid-to-late 1970s as well as the final products that were released in 1978. Some of these minifigures include the doctors, firefighters, spacemen, and police. We even get to see the old minifigures compared to some of the more recently released ones.

LEGO Celebrates 10 Years of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

April 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Earlier today, LEGO released a new image which is their version of the 10 year celebration poster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it may give some hints on possible new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes minifigures. Some of the more notable things include a barely visible Wasp, War Machine, Bucky Barnes as well as Wong with updated printing.

This is interesting because they could show up in a summer release set for Infinity War similar to the Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) for Captain America: Civil War. This is purely speculation as I haven’t heard of any concrete information about it. There was a rumor late last year of the largest Infinity War set with set 76106 which could possibly include those characters.

Again, this poster could purely just be a promo image but we know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers so who knows. Sound off below of what you think this could mean.

March 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Juniors Incredibles 2 sets have started to show up early at Walmart and on the back of the instructions of the sets is a teaser for the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game. This confirms the rumor of the game coming out later this year. As you can see from the image, it will be available on PlayStation 4, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The LEGO The Incredibles Video Game will mark the first time a Pixar property will become a LEGO game and will be developed by TT Games and distributed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. There’s no other details given but stay tuned for more details in the near future.

60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) Winner Announced

March 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last month, I ran a contest for a chance to win the 60 Years of the LEGO Brick (40290) set. There were over 7,000 entries and I’ve randomly chosen the winner and that person is:

Jesus P.

I’ve contacted the winner to get their shipping details. Sorry about the late post about this but I didn’t forget about you guys. With all the issues of Toys R Us and the closing announcements, I’ve been busy dealing with that for the past few weeks and trying to figure out my next steps. I will also be announcing the winner(s) of The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Vignette Building Competition in the next day or so stay tuned for that. I think there were some very creative builds for that contest.

LEGO Wins Three Awards at 2018 Toy of the Year Awards Gala

February 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The 2018 Toy of the Year winners were announced yesterday just ahead of the New York Toy Fair and I’m happy to say that LEGO wins big again this year. LEGO was nominated in five categories this year including:

Collectible of the Year – The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigures (71017)

Construction Toy of the Year – LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) / LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean The Silent Mary (71042)

Creative Toy of the Year – LEGO Make Your Own Movie

Specialty Toy of The Year – LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

Tech Toy of the Year – LEGO BOOST Creative Toolbox (17101)

LEGO picked up three awards last night for LEGO Star Wars BB-8 as the Construction Toy of the Year, LEGO Boost for Tech Toy of the Year, and the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon for the Specialty Toy of the Year. This is the second year in a row that LEGO has won for Construction and Specialty Toy of the Year.

With some of the new LEGO products coming out this year, I’m sure we’ll be seeing LEGO again on the ballot in a few categories and they have a great chance for the coveted Toy of the Year award.
