December 16, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

One of the more popular events that is held during the spring time at LEGOLAND California and around the world is LEGO Star Wars Days. Fans from all over come to see some new cool LEGO Star Wars builds including some from local LUGs. In recent days, there were rumors that next year’s event would be cancelled and it looks like that has been confirmed. Rebelscum has gotten in touch with with Lucasfilm and they have said that this past year would be the last to do the event. Also someone at Disney stated,

The motivation was to refocus expenditure and limit Star Wars exposure to reset the franchise and allow fans to heal.

I’ve also heard another reason for Star Wars Days being cancelled is to shift focus to The LEGO Movie 2. There’s still a chance that LEGO Star Wars Days could return down the line but in the future, it’s done for.

LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) Review

December 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Starting tomorrow, LEGO will have a new promotional item with the LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253). You can get it with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home, while supplies last. After taking a year off, LEGO introduces the 28 piece Reindeer Head which joins the 2014 Christmas Train (5002813), 2015 Christmas Train (5003083), and the 2016 Toy Soldier (5004420).

Like with the previous ornaments, the parts are inside a little green pouch along with the instructions and the string.

The build is very straight-forward and the finished result looks a lot like a reindeer head mount which is kind of morbid. I do recommend changing the black 1×1 round plate for the nose to a red one to represent Rudolph as it makes the build a bit more festive.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

The Hageman Brothers Leaving LEGO Ninjago

December 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In some sad news today, the original writers of LEGO Ninajgo: Masters of Spinjitzu, Dan and Kevin Hageman, announced on Twitter that they will be leaving the show after Season 9. They’ve helped with the story development that leads up to the 100th episode of the show which will be airing some time next year. Bragi Schut will be taking over the reigns for the foreseeable future. The Hageman Brothers have created so many memories for fans of Ninjago and many will be sad to see them leaving the show. We wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Goodbyes are fraught with so many emotions. Though it saddens us to tell our Ninjago fans we’ve written our last episode, we are encouraged to know it won’t be the last Ninjago adventure. We’ve known for a while that after 8 great years, S9 would be our final curtain call… 1/7

While we helped the story development for the lead up to the 100th Episode, it’s truly the work and genius of our friend @bragischutjr. We feel lucky to be able to help pick our predecessor and we know Ninjago is safe in his capable hands (unless the Overlord coms back.)… 2/7

— Dan & Kevin Hageman (@brothershageman) December 10, 2018

But Bragi is one in a long line we want to thank. This was only made possible because our good friends @LEGO_Group took a chance on us. We were untested. And often had some crazy ideas.

Did LEGO Tease Another McLaren Set?

December 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, LEGO teased an image of the upcoming 2019 LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Senna but camouflaged. They could either be teasing that particular set or could there be more to this image?

As we know by know, LEGO has partnered up with various car manufacturers to produce sets for the Speed Champions as well as Technic. This includes the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) from 2016 and the Bugatti Chiron (42083) from earlier this year but what will the 2019 supercar be?

I’ve heard an unsubstantiated rumor that next year’s LEGO Technic supercar could be a McLaren but at this point, that’s all that is right now. If you remember back in January, LEGO revealed that the Bugatti Chiron would be released later in the year and will LEGO do the same thing next month? All keep in mind that the Nuremberg Toy Fair will be held at the end of January as well and that’s where we got the first information about the Bugatti. Stay tuned for more details as they happen.
