Lars Silberbauer Leaves LEGO to Join MTV Digital Studios

October 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Lars Silberbauer has announced that he has left The LEGO Group to join MTV Digital Studios as Senior Vice President. For the past seven years, Lars has been with LEGO and his most recent position was Senior Global Director of Social Media and Video. He was known for transforming LEGO social media presence from literally nothing to being one of the most successful ones on the web.

Back in 2014, Lars launched LEGO TV in 24 different markets and now the LEGO YouTube Channel gets more than a billion views a year. This is on top of the traffic that the LEGO Facebook Page gets which is approaching 13 million likes.

LEGO Seasonal 2018 Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) Revealed

October 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s a nice surprise that has recently showed up on LEGO’s servers. The new 2018 LEGO Seasonal Reindeer Head Christmas Ornament (5005253) has been uploaded to the servers and that means more than likely the exclusive ornament will be a gift-with-purchase set this holiday season.

There are no details on the availability at this time it’s nice to see it return after taking a year off last year. We’ll most likely see how to get it when the December 2018 LEGO Store Calendar comes out in a few week. Below are my reviews of the LEGO Christmas ornaments from the previous years.

LEGO Seasonal Christmas Gift Box (40292) Revealed

October 18, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The November 2018 LEGO Store Calendar talked about some of the upcoming Black Friday promotions which includes doorbuster deals and exclusive offers but it didn’t mention or show anything for the promotion. It looks like we may have found out what one of the offers could be via the Chinese LEGO Store flyer. At the bottom of the flyer, it shows a limited edition Christmas Gift Box (40292) gift-with-purchase set from November 22-30. Here in the States, our promotions start on November 23 so it’s possible that we could also get this promotion set as well.

If you look closely at the set, you can see that it is able to open up to show a scene inside showing off what appears to be a living room on Christmas day complete with a Christmas tree and toys. It is worth mentioning that the footnote shows that the set is limited to 4,500 copies. I’m not sure if that amount is in that particular region or worldwide.

This set is not the only Christmas set this year has it has already been revealed there is also the Christmas Carousel (40293) as well. There’s no word at this time when that particular promotion will begin. As always, I’ll report any new information that comes out for these two sets.

LEGO Creator Winter Village Station (10259) Amazon Sale

October 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you haven’t picked up last year’s LEGO Creator Winter Village Station (10259), Amazon has it on sale for a whopping 31% off the regular price. This now makes it $54.99 instead of $79.99 which makes it a great buy considering that it has 902 pieces. This set is an add-on to the Winter Holiday Train (10254) but it’s a fine set even by itself. Check out my review of it here.

LEGO Double VIP Points Promotion – October 2018

October 15, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you didn’t see it last night, LEGO Shop@Home has a surprise Double VIP Points event going on until the end of October. That means for every $100 you spend, you can get back $10 worth of LEGO VIP Points to use on future purchases. There’s probably only two or three Double Points events left in the year so now’s a good time to stock up on Christmas/Birthday gifts. This promotion runs alongside the free LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) with purchases of $75 or more.

LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom Animated Special Coming in 2019

October 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Marvel just announced at New York Comic Con 2018, there will be a new animated LEGO special called LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom that will be airing next year. The synopsis of the animated special is:

[su_quote]Tech theft is at an all-time high thanks to Green Goblin & Venom… So can our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man put an end to their mysterious villainous scheme before all of New York City is destroyed?[/su_quote]

Some of the voice actors that will be in the show include Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Ghost-Spider/Gwen Stacy, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane.

There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.

More LEGO Jurassic World Sets Coming in 2019

October 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Universal has announced their plans for Jurassic World for 2019 and it has been revealed that there will be more LEGO Jurassic World sets as well as an animated show coming soon. I’m curious to see what other sets could be produced for Jurassic World as the Fallen Kingdom sets have covered almost everything from the second film.

The animated LEGO Jurassic World short will probably air on Cartoon Network or LEGO could release it on home media which potentially could have an exclusive minifigure but I won’t hold my breath on that. The short will be airing by the end of the year.

Thanks to anonymous for the heads up!
