LEGO Dimensions Expansion Packs Available Again at 99 Cents Only Stores

February 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Dimensions Beetlejuice Fun Pack (71349)

Last year around this time, 99 Cents Only Stores started carrying various LEGO Dimensions including Fun Packs and Team Packs. It looks like they’re doing it again this year as a number of stores around the country are selling them again for only $1.99 each which is a great deal on some retired and soon to be retired expansion packs. All of the packs are still currently working even though LEGO Dimensions has been officially cancelled but there will be no new content. It seems that the 99 Cents stores have different inventories so I can say for sure which store has what so you’ll have to check out what your location has.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary Initial Look

February 24, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We haven’t talked about any LEGO books in quite a while but it looks like there’s now an image of the upcoming LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary that is slated to come out later this year. It is basically an updated version of the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes: Batman Visual Dictionary but this book will include pretty much everything LEGO DC-related that has been released from the past few years. You’ll also notice the blank space for an exclusive super hero minifigure which is basically the main draw for most fans. There’s no word yet on who this character is but hopefully it’s somebody that we haven’t gotten before. Chances are it’s another variant of an existing character but it’s fun to guess. Who do you think this exclusive minifigure will be?

Anyways, you can now pre-order the book on Amazon and it’ll be released on September 4. You also get the Amazon pre-order price guarantee where if the price drops after you place your order before the release date, you’ll only pay the lowest price that it’s offered at.

February 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Fast Company has released their list of the 2018 edition of the World’s Most Innovative Companies and LEGO was named as the #6 company out of 10 under the Consumer Electronics category. The main reason for that LEGO was honored in this category was because of boosting children’s coding skills by the way of LEGO Boost. LEGO Life, which was launched last year, also contributed to the company being named in the Consumer Electronics category. This app allows children to share their creations online in a safe environment. Check out the press release that LEGO has released regarding the honor.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 18 Officially Revealed

February 17, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We got our first look at the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures at the 2018 New York Toy Fair just a short while ago but LEGO has officially revealed the minifigures on social media. As mentioned before, there are 17 minifigures to collect and there are also reports that the Classic Policeman minifigure will come only per box so it makes him pretty rare right off the bat. It’s not Mr. Gold rare but it’ll still be obtainable. This wave is to commemorate 40 years of the LEGO minifigure and the Series 18 LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be available starting in April.

Who likes countdowns? The Firework Guy likes countdowns! No matter the theme of the occasion, he’ll find a reason to 3-2-1 … explode with good cheer!

The Cowboy Costume Guy is a total goofball! After all, he did come to the party dressed up as a cowboy riding around on a horse.

The Spider Suit Boy isn’t really into parties, but he loves any chance to surprise, or even scare, his fellow Minifigures.

The LEGO Brick Suit Guy’s favorite thing to do is put together LEGO
