Kevin Hinkle No Longer with The LEGO Group

December 22, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Today is a sad day in the LEGO community as Kevin Hinkle has announced that he is no longer part of The LEGO Group after twelve years with the company. I’ve known about this for a few weeks but wanted to wait until Kevin himself made a statement out of respect to him. He did note that him leaving the company was not his decision or his intent but I won’t speculate why.

If you’re not familiar with Kevin and who he is, he’s basically started off working at a LEGO Brand Store to becoming the Community Coordinator for North America who worked closely with LUGs and well as connecting with LEGO fans in general. The Brick Blogger did a great write-up about Kevin’s story a few years back. My first and only time that I met Kevin was back in 2014 during Philly Brick Fest and he was a great person to talk to even though it was for a brief period of time. He actually knew about The Brick Fan site even though I’ve only had it up for a few short years at that time.

Although he’s no longer part of The LEGO Group, he’ll still be part of the LEGO community as a fan just like us. He can now be found on social media @MrKevinHinkle as well as on Bricks in the Middle.

LEGO Star Wars Solo Sets Release Date Revealed

December 21, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in October, I reported that there will be some LEGO Star Wars sets coming out that will be based on the Han Solo standalone film coming next year. It looks like there’s confirmation of a release date for the sets coming out of Rebelscum.com which states they will be available starting on April 20, 2018.

There will five system sets (75207, 75209, 75210, 75211, 75212) along with two buildable figures (75535, 75536) coming out for the wave. Rumor has it that one of the sets will be the Millennium Falcon with a blue and white paint job. We most likely won’t see images of the sets in the upcoming toy fairs but it’s possible that they may pop up on the April 2018 LEGO Store Calendar when it becomes available in March.

LEGO Classic Blue Baseplate (10714) Returning in 2018

December 20, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It looks like the LEGO Classic Blue Baseplate (10714) will be making its return in 2018. There are now official images of the popular baseplate on LEGO’s servers and will be available again starting next year after the 620 version from a few years ago was aburptly retired at the end of 2014. I know a lot of builders have been wanting to get it to do water layouts but don’t want to pay secondary market prices for them. I know it’s not that interesting but there are a lot of LEGO fans who would definitely welcome the return of the Blue Baseplates.

LEGO Star Wars DJ (40298) Minifigure Polybag Coming in 2018

December 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

This year, LEGO has released some new LEGO Star Wars minifigure polybags that have a connectible stand with them including R3-M2 (40268) and the Scarif Stormtrooper (40176). There is another polybag that will be coming in 2018 for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and it is for Benicio Del Toro’s character, DJ (40298). There’s no word on how to get it at this time but it could be at Toys R Us or at LEGO. It won’t be at LEGO in January because there’s no promotion listed for it on the store calendar. It could be a May the 4th promo or some even suggested it could be a Black VIP Card exclusive. No matter how it will be coming, I’ll let you guys know how to get it.

December 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

For those who live near LEGOLAND, there’s an exclusive LEGO set that may be coming out soon that you may be interested in. Brickset has uploaded an image of the LEGOLAND Castle (40306) which features a model that is probably based on the LEGOLAND Castle Hotel. Ollie also makes an appearance as it pokes out on one side of the building. The set has 220 pieces and will most likely retail for $9.99 at the shops at LEGOLAND parks at the beginning of the year. It most likely won’t be available on Shop@Home but some LEGO Brand Stores that are near a park like in San Diego may carry it.
