LEGO Creative Storybook (40291)

It consists of 307 pieces and you can get it for free with a purchase of $99 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home from June 4-20, while supplies last. This looks to be a pretty fun looking set so let’s take an in-depth look at it and see how it is.

LEGO Ideas Third 2017 Review Stage Winner Announced

LEGO has announced the winner of the LEGO Ideas Third 2017 Review Stage and it really isn’t a surprise given one of the upcoming LEGO promotions is loosely based on it. The winning project that will become an official LEGO Ideas set is the Pop-Up Book by JKBrickworks and Grant_Davis_. This is the second project by Jason that has been approved by the LEGO Ideas team and is a great example of what LEGO Ideas is about. The set will be available on store shelves later this year. You can check out the announcement below.

The Toys That Made Us LEGO Episode Review

The long-awaited LEGO episode for The Toys That Made Us finally released last week and I’ve finally had some time to watch it and give it a quick review. If you’re not familiar with the show itself, it’s an eight part documentary that talks about the history of various toy franchises and how they’ve impacted society. Some of the toy lines that have been featured so far included He-Man, Star Wars, Transformers, and of course, LEGO.

The episode is about 45 minutes and it condenses LEGO’s 80+ years of history into it. If you’re familiar with LEGO’s history, then there’s really not much that you don’t already know and if you’ve read Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry by David Robertson, who also makes an appearance, then you’re pretty much set. The episode, however, does tell the story of LEGO in an upbeat way with some humor thrown in here and there. Most of the significant events that helped shape LEGO into the company that it is now is in the episode which included talking about the system of play, the emergence of the LEGO minifigure, the failures such as Jack Stone and Galidor, the decline due to the Star Wars and Harry Potter licenses, and to the revival because of Technic, Mindstorms, Bionicle, and Ninjago.

Even though it covered a lot of topics, there wasn’t anything new introduced that knowledgeable fans didn’t know about already. Although Ninjago and The LEGO Movie were mentioned briefly, it … Continue

LEGO Reveals Logo for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

The LEGO Movie 2

There’s still no concrete info on what the story will consist of as there have been changes to it since last year.

Should LEGO Release a Roller Coaster Tracks Pack?

The new LEGO Creator Roller Coaster (10261) is now available for VIP members and many fans are excited to see a set that have been long-awaited since the Fairground subtheme was first started a few years ago. As we know by now, The Joker Manor (70922) introduced some of the new roller coaster tracks but it was hard and fairly expensive to get the track pieces in a larger quantity. We do get a few of the straight pieces in the Rhino Face-Off by the Mine (76099) but those were only straight tracks and some of the curved tracks were in the more expensive sets.

The question at hand is should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack like they do with the LEGO City train tracks? I’m sure that fans will defintely appreciate this kind of pack as it does give an opportunity to get a variety of track pieces in one pack instead of going through BrickLink or other places. They will probably eventually show up on Bricks & Pieces but I would rather just get a single pack and get it out the way.

What do you guys think? Should LEGO release a roller coaster track pack now that they are releasing more sets with these tracks pieces? Let us know in the comments below.
