LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar

November 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Starting next week from November 28-December 11, LEGO will be giving away a FREE LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar with purchases of $75 or more, while supplies last. Without spoiling the contents of the calendar, I can tell you that each month has a scene with minifigures that kids can color which you see a preview of on the back cover. There are also two sheets of stickers included as well.

If you have this year’s Wall Calendar, you’ll notice that this calendar doesn’t have any coupons for any future promotions. Unfortunately for next year, it doesn’t look like LEGO will be continuing with that promo, at least here in the US, which is bummer since there were some neat items on it even though they were small.

I feel that the LEGO 2017 Colorable Wall Calendar will be most beneficial for teachers as they can take apart the pages and photocopy the ones with the scenes for the kids. Thank you to the LEGO Shop@Home Affiliate Team for sending me one to review.

LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) Review

November 22, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We’re getting close to the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend and for the last couple of years, LEGO has been giving away some great holiday sets for their gift with purchase promo and it looks like 2016 continues the trend.

For this year, LEGO will be giving away the Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) with purchases of $99 or more from November 25-28, while supplies last. VIP members already got early access to the set this past weekend. The Snowglobe consists of a 215 pieces which are in three un-numbered bags. If you check the parts inventory, there are a number of rare pieces in this set.

The build of the Snowglobe is in three parts, the base, globe area, and the pull-out drawer.

The base is 8×8 house-type setting with windows on the sides and a hole in the front for the drawer later on.

For the globe area, you have the Santa minifigure inside along with a Christmas tree. There are also fourteen 1×1 white round tiles to represent the snow.

Lastly, you have the drawer which is also the front of the house complete with the door and torches. You’ll notice that when building the drawer, there are some unsightly yellow bricks that do not match the overall color scheme of the Snowglobe itself.

Overall, the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) is a very neat set. Although we’ve seen some good sets during the holidays in the past, this year’s set is probably one of the best produced so far. The “snow” pieces don’t actually float but … Continue

LEGO Seasonal 2016 Christmas Ornament (40223)

You may have probably seen on the November 2016 LEGO Store Calendar that LEGO VIP members will have early access to Brick Friday offers as well as double VIP points. I can now confirm from my contact that the LEGO Seasonal Snowglobe (40223) will be available starting tomorrow with purchases of $99 or more for both in stores and on Shop@Home. If you’re shopping online, there will also be free shipping on all orders. This early promotion will be available on November 19-20 for VIPs and will be available to the general public from November 25-28.

There will be no sales for this week, as far as I know, but I will assume there will be some next week during Brick Friday like with previous years and I’m waiting to hear back with those details.

Update: The offers are now live on Shop@Home.

Red Dwarf Area Found in LEGO Dimensions

November 16, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s something interesting coming out of Twitter earlier today. LEGO Dimensions designer/writer Joe Moore tweeted out an image of the Red Dwarf area which was found in the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack (71253). As we know, Red Dwarf isn’t an official LEGO license yet, as far was we know, however there was a Red Dwarf project that just hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas just last week.

Does this actually we’ll be getting a Red Dwarf expansion pack in the future? Not necessarily. If you remember from last year, there were stages that included the Jetsons and Flintstones but there weren’t any physical sets that came out of that so this could just be an easter egg like the previous ones.

LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204) Review

November 15, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Thanksgiving is only a week away and to celebrate the holiday, LEGO has released the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204). The set contains 163 pieces and normally retails for $9.99 but you can get it for half off on Shop@Home and at the LEGO Store. The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags and the instructions.

The build is pretty simple and like the set names states, it features a chubby pilgrim stuffing his face with some turkey while sitting on a a pumpkin. The legs are are hinges so they can be separated depending on what sitting position you want him at. The arms are on ball joints and they have a wide range of motion while each hand is holding a turkey drumstick. The head does not move and to me, he has a derpy expression. Some may say he looks creepy but I think it looks fine. One thing to note that the nose uses a 1×1 round tile in tan which is pretty rare since it is only available in two other 2016 sets.

Overall, I think the LEGO Seasonal Pilgrim’s Feast (40204) is one of the better Seasonal sets that LEGO has released this year. Combine that with the lower price the set goes for now, it’s a good one to pick up.
