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!
The LEGO Ideas The Flintstones (21316) was officially announced yesterday and there has been a divide among fans of how the set came out. A few of you have asked me to compare the original project to the one that will be coming out later this week. I did have a clear look at the project when I was at Philly Brick Fest last year and here are my thoughts.
As with other LEGO Ideas sets, there are differences between the official set and the projects as LEGO has the final say on what they want in the set. One of the things I’ve noticed is that the official set has more muted colors compared to the project which had very vibrant colors as some of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons had. The result is somewhat bland especially on the inside of the house.
The dirt path and the Welcome to Bedrock sign has been completely omitted which helped reduce the parts count. Some other things that were excluded were some of the characters such as Bamm-Bamm, Pebbles, and Dino. I’m not sure why they were left out but considering the Big Bang Theory (21302) set had seven minifigures at a lower price point, adding two, possibly three more would have been nice. Perhaps they could be in a future set? Probably not.
Speaking of the minifigures, Barney has been given regular legs and is the same height as Fred even though the cartoon, he was considerably shorter. I think using the new bendable short legs from … Continue
We’ve already seen images and details of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars 20th Anniversary Edition sets that will be coming out later this year. At the New York Toy Fair, LEGO has showed off an additional set in the form of a polybag. It is the Podracer (30461) which has 58 pieces and it pays homage to Anakin’s podracer and is a smaller counterpart to the 75258 version. There’s no word yet on its availability at this time but I assume it’ll be part of a promotion when the 20th Anniversary Edition sets are released.
