Carter Baldwin Joins LEGO as Product Designer

April 13, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’ve been in LEGO for a while, you may have seen MOCs by Carter Baldwin. I first met Carter a few years ago during Philly Brick Fest and he’s a really cool guy with tons of talent. One of my favorite builds of his is the Alien Queen from earlier this year but he also does great work on a variety of vehicles. Where I’m going with this is that Carter has announced that he has been hired on by LEGO as a Product Designer in Denmark. Although he didn’t state what theme he will be working on, I’m sure that there will be some good stuff coming to LEGO soon. Again, LEGO does notice regular fans who has fantastic builds and talent and will continue to hire them if they work hard enough.

April 12, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today was the big day for Star Wars fans as the teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker was released. This movie is the culmination of the Skywalker saga that started over 40 years ago and it’ll be in theaters this December. The teaser shows some pretty cool scenes but the ending gives off an impression that a certain Sith Lord has returned. Based off what you’ve seen so far, what do you think we’ll be getting from LEGO later this year?
