If you weren’t able to pre-order LEGO FORMA on Indiegogo last year, LEGO has finally provided the building instructions for the base set. In addition, you they have also provided some blank templates for the Koi skin as well as the Shark skin for you to create your own. Of course you’ll have to provide your own parts and the skins aren’t as high quality as if you had purchased it but at least LEGO was kind enough to get your started.
For the past few years, LEGO has released Seasonal “hut” sets with the last unreleased one being the Penguin Winter Hut (5005251) but it looks like LEGO has switched over to the “pods” this this year’s offerings. Over on Instagram, a user has found the Easter Chicken Pod (853958) at their LEGO Certified Store in Slovenia.
By using the pod, it allows for more playability as you can build on it unlike the huts where it was just a holder for the minifigure. For this one, there’s a skating ramp for a bunny on skates along with a yellow chicken minifigure also on skates.
There’s no word on availability at this time but I’ll let you know when those details are available. Thanks to C for the heads up a few days ago.

It’s that time of year again where LEGO will be announcing the annual results for 2018. If you’re awake here in the States, you can join in the conference which LEGO will be livestreaming tomorrow. The conference will begin at 10:30AM CET, 4:30AM EST, 1:30AM PST. I’ll be doing a recap of the main topics once it is over.
Even though it’s still early morning, here’s your LEGO feel good story of the day. If you’ve been in the LEGO community on social media the past few years, you may have heard the name Chris McVeigh, aka PowerPig, float around. One of his most popular builds are the Brick Sketches of various characters that have been featured by LEGO before. Yesterday, he has announced that he has been hired on to the LEGO Creator Expert and Architecture teams and will begin work starting in March. This just goes to show that LEGO still continues to take notice of fan creations and you have a chance to get hired on if you work hard enough. I can’t wait to see what Chris has in store for us in the near future.
The 2019 New York Toy Fair is still going on but as far as the LEGO stuff is concerned, they only had a limited amount of things displayed. The main thing was the new LEGO Hidden Side theme that will be coming out later this year. If you didn’t know, LEGO Hidden Side uses an augmented reality system to bring the bricks to life. The boxes of the sets were on display but they do have the confidential watermark on them and that’s why I’ve elected not to post them. I would like to extend a thank you to Dan for helping us out on getting these images.
LEGO has just announced the winners of the LEGO Ideas Second 2018 Review. That’s right, there are two winners in this round and they are Steamboat Willie by sxabomate90 and The Central Perk Coffee of Friends by Mric76. Both sets are expected to launch this year but LEGO is still working on the final product design and price point. Congratulations to both of the winners!
