LEGO DC Villains “Confirmed” by Walmart Canada

May 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

At the beginning of the year, I reported on some upcoming rumored video games which included LEGO The Incredibles and something called LEGO DC Villains. As we know by know, the LEGO The Incredibles Video Game was officially announced back in March. It looks like now we can potentially the LEGO DC Villains video game as well. According to Variety, Walmart Canada earlier today accidentally leaked a bunch of upcoming games including the aforementioned LEGO DC Villains game. The listing has since been removed but it looks like the cat is out of the bag. Of course Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment nor TT Games will confirm it at this time but hopefully they’ll tease something now that the information is out in the wild. Perhaps they’ll announce something at E3 2018 or at San Diego Comic Con.

It has been reported that the main focus of the game will be centered around the DC villains instead of the super heroes as with previous LEGO games. Now that LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is starting to wrap up their DLCs, we’ll turn our attention to the next two games in the pipeline.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Review

May 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The largest set that LEGO has produced is the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) which comes in at a massive 7,541 pieces while costing a whopping $799.99. I’ve already done an unboxing on it so you can check it out if you want. With today being May the 4th, now is a very good time to finally release this review. First off, let me preface this review by saying sorry for the lateness of the review. My camera image data and part of the review got corrupted on my old laptop a few months ago and I’ve finally had time to rebuild and retype out what I’ve already done in between what was happening with Toys R Us and changing jobs. Things just weren’t going right the past few months.

LEGO DUPLO Launches Interactive Experience on Amazon Alexa

May 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has partnered up with Amazon in their efforts to integrate physical and digital play by using Amazon Alexa to tell stories while interacting with the bricks. By downloading the LEGO DUPLO stories onto Alexa, you can instruct it to tell the stories while also encouraging kids to learn through the bricks.

Adding to the LEGO® portfolio of integrated physical and digital play experiences, LEGO® DUPLO® Stories has today been released on Amazon Alexa as play starter inspiration for our youngest audience and their parents.

Billund, Denmark (May 2nd, 2018): Launched today in the US and UK, LEGO® DUPLO® Stories will be one of the first Alexa skills to combine physical play with Amazon’s Alexa voice service. The skill is developed as an interactive storytelling experience to ignite fun explorative play for the youngest children, aged 2–5, and their parents.

Using any Alexa device, such as Amazon Echo or Echo Dot, children will be able to respond and actively engage with the LEGO DUPLO Stories, all designed to encourage active participation and help nurture children’s inquisitive instinct of learning through play. LEGO DUPLO Stories covers 10 themes based on new as well as existing LEGO DUPLO products. Together with their parents, toddlers can choose between five vehicle or five animal stories, and define the route of the story, while guided by Alexa.

LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) Polybag Review

April 25, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Next week is the start of the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2018 event and the main item during the promotion is the BB-8 (40288) polybag. It consists of 48 pieces and you can get it on May 4th only with a purchase of $75 or more while supplies last.

BB-8 is in the same scale as the R2-D2 from last year. The build is fairly simple and the base of it uses a basic cube technique. It also relies on five printed 4×4 dishes for the design of the body which is good.

The bottom dish is attached to some plates which connects to the bottom of the cube while having a Technic joint to attach the head to.

As for the head, it is also printed and uses the same dome piece as R2-D2 but with BB-8 design. As I said before, it attaches to the body using a Technic pin and the joint allows it to wobble. This is an easy technique but is also very effective as it simulates BB-8’s head movement.

One thing I don’t like about this build is the use of the dish on the bottom. Because there’s a stud on it, BB-8 has a tendency to tip over very frequently but he’s fine if you gently set him down.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (40288) polybag is a decent one that fits nicely to last year’s build. I also understand that some fans prefer the exclusive minifigures much more than the builds. The scale of BB-8 … Continue
