LEGO Ranked Number 1 on 2017 Global CSR RepTrak 100

September 18, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With the hype of the release of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), this piece of news was overlooked. It has been announced that The LEGO Group has become the Number 1 company in regards to reputation on corporate responsibility according to RepTrak 100. This comes a couple of months after LEGO was named the second most regarded company overall.

According to the survey, The LEGO Group surpasses Microsoft and Google who was at the second and top spot, respectively, last year. Chief Financial Officer Marjorie Lao said,

We are honoured to see that our efforts to positively impact the planet resonate with people all over the world. We feel a huge sense of responsibility to inspire and develop children through play while leaving a significant positive impact on the world children will inherit. It is part of our DNA as a company, and we will continue to set the bar high for ourselves to do better.

The LEGO Movie Sequel Story Revealed

September 14, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s been a while since we’ve talked about The LEGO Movie Sequel but Collider has some new details on what the story will be. As we know by now, the end of the first movie involves Finn’s sister playing with DUPLO bricks and they announced their plans to destroy them. In an interview with Dan Lin, he stated:

We’re picking up where the first movie left us, where the Duplo have now come and they’re attacking Bricksburg. It’s several years later, and you’re going to see the result of that.

Another part of The LEGO Movie Sequel could tackle on gender differences, more specifically how a boy plays with LEGO is different from how a girl plays with LEGO.

Chris McKay stated:

I’m really excited about where the movie is gonna go because it’s about these things that are actual notions that people have that might even be unconscious biases, where people don’t even realize that that’s the way they’re looking at the world.

Check out the full interview over on Collider in the link above.

September 7, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has confirmed that the LEGO Creator Palace Cinema (10232) will indeed be retiring as per my report on some of the D2C sets that will be going away soon. The Palace Cinema was released back in 2013 and has had a very healthy shelf life of over four years.

If you’ve been holding off on getting it, now is probably your last chance to get it at retail price. I’m not sure if it will make it to the Double VIP Points promotion in October and I wouldn’t risk it.

LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) Officially Announced

August 31, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)

After much rumors and speculation for the past few years, LEGO has officially announced the newest LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set with the updated Millennium Falcon (75192). This set has been teased for the past month and we can now finally talk about the highly anticipated set.

As stated in the teaser last week, the UCS Millennium Falcon will have a whopping 7,541 which makes it the largest set in terms of piece count dwarfing the previous record holder of the LEGO Taj Mahal (10189) which came in at 5,922 pieces.

Not surprisingly, you would expect a set this massive would be somewhat pricey and it’s no chump change. The new UCS Millennium Falcon will retail for $799.99/CA $899.99/£649.99. It will be available starting September 14 for VIP Early Access and October 1 for the general release.

On to the features of the ship, as my rumor post from the beginning of the year, the Millennium Falcon will include details from the Original Trilogy as well as the from the newer Episode VII and upcoming Episode VIII films. This includes two sets of minifigures as well as the interchangeable antenna.

Check out the official press release, designer video, and additional photos below of the new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192).
