LEGO Bricktober 2018 Sets Revealed

August 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few months ago, I reported on some rumored LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets and it looks like we now have a first look at the sets that come from a German Toys R Us flyer. There will be four sets in the wave and they include various LEGO themes including LEGO Harry Potter (5005254), LEGO Jurassic World (5005255), LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256), and LEGO Ninjago (5005257).

The LEGO Harry Potter set will include minifigures of Madam Rolanda Hooch, Professor Horace Slughorn, Dolores Umbridge, and Boggart Snape.

THe LEGO Jurassic World set will have Ian Malcolm, Claire Dearing, Owen Grady, and a small velociraptor.

The LEGO Ninjago set will have characters from the Sons of Garmadon storyline.

Finally the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set will have War Machine, Wong, Tony Stark with the Mark 50 arc reactor, and White Wolf/Bucky.

There’s no word yet if the LEGO Bricktober 2018 sets will be available outside of Toys R Us but if you look closely at the sets, you’ll notice that there is no Toys R Us printing like with sets from previous years so it makes me think that they will be available elsewhere.

Watch the LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2018 Panel

August 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ninjago SDCC 2018 panel was pretty exciting for those who attended last month as well as those who were following my live tweets that day. You can now watch most of the panel on YouTube as LEGO has uploaded a majority of what we saw there in person. The panel consisted of LEGO senior designer Michael Svane Knap, Brent Miller, Vincent Tong, Kelly Metzger with Ninjago co-creator Tommy Andreasen hosting. Unlike previous years, the video shows pretty much everything that was shown on the screen, including the clips that we were told not to record, so it’s worth a watch if you have time.

Rumored LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine Re-Release

August 19, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Way back in 2008, LEGO released a LEGO Vestas Wind Turbine (4999) promotional set and there’s rumors that the set may be re-released to commemorate the launch of the sustainable bricks initiative. Brick Fanatics is reporting that the Vesta Wind Turbine could be returning later this year in the LEGO Creator Expert line. Since LEGO has invested in wind turbines towards their goal of using 100 percent renewable energy by 2020, it’s not that big of a surprise that LEGO will want to promote it more.

LEGO BrickHeadz Rumored 2019 Sets

August 16, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The year is slowly winding down and all of the 2018 LEGO BrickHeadz sets have already been announced and revealed, however, we have gotten some rumors of some 2019 BrickHeadz sets. From the details that I’ve received, it seems that we will be getting a two-pack set for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald featuring Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald (41631).

Another set may come as a huge surprise but it looks like we’ll be getting a Simpsons BrickHeadz set that features Homer Simpson and Krusty the Clown (41632). As I said, this comes at a surprise because we thought that the Simpsons license had expired when we didn’t get any more sets for the theme. I look forward to seeing what other characters LEGO decides to produce for this popular show.

Correction: I’ve been told these two sets will be coming out later this year.

LEGO Creator Free Fall Tower (10267) Listing for 2018?

August 14, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s something interesting that was just sent my way earlier today. According to Brickmerge.de, there’s another LEGO Creator amusement park set that is supposedly coming out this year with the Free Fall Tower (10267). It interesting because we’ve already gotten an amusement park set this summer with the Roller Coaster (10261) and they usually release once a year so twice a year will be really surprising. If it is a legit listing, we probably won’t see it until summer of next year but LEGO could drop a bombshell on us.

Another thing to note is that LEGO usually calms down on the direct-to-consumer set announcements from October to December, at least from the past few years, so it’ll be really surprising to see another larger set coming out this year. The next D2C sets that are rumored to be releasing this year are in September with the LEGO Star Wars Cloud City set and the LEGO Creator Winter Village set.

What do you guys think of a Free Fall Tower set that is listed to be released this year? Do you think it’s a bit too much since we’ve already gotten the Roller Coaster not too long ago? Personally, I don’t think it’s anything verifiable at this time since this is the first I’ve heard of it.

LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) Review

August 13, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, it was revealed that there was going to be a LEGO Architecture Las Vegas (21047) set but as we know by now, it was delayed due to the tragedy late last year at one of the original hotels in the set. Fast forward eight months and LEGO decided to swap out one of the hotels as well as changing out the box printing and a few pages out of the instruction booklet. There’s no details of the price but counting the parts in the back of the booklet, there are 501 pieces unless I calculated wrong. The contents of the box include five unnumbered bags and the instruction booklet.

LEGO Wizarding World Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952) Review

August 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

J.K. Rowling’s newest series of movies for the the Wizarding World kicked off in 2016 with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. To much dismay of LEGO fans, there were no LEGO system sets that were produced for the movie which was interesting however there some LEGO Dimensions sets but they weren’t the same. Fast forward to this year and LEGO has revived the Harry Potter theme with the Wizarding World tie-in and there is finally a Fantastic Beasts set that is worth waiting for with Newt’s Case of Magical Creatures (75952). The set has 694 pieces and retails for $49.99. The contents of the box include four numbered bags, a bagged wing for the Thunderbird, a small sticker sheet, and two instruction booklets.
