Disguise LEGO Ninjago Lloyd Prestige Costume Review

October 9, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Halloween is coming up in a few weeks and it’s about that time to search for costumes for kids. Earlier this year at New York Toy Fair, Disguise showed off some new costumes for LEGO Nexo Knights and LEGO Ninjago. Fast forward to last month where Disguise announced a multi-year deal with LEGO to produce official costumes. The LEGO costumes are now available and Disguise has sent us a medium-sized LEGO Ninjago Lloyd Prestige Costume. The contents of the box include the tunic, pants, mask, and a pair of hands.

Lepin Moves from LEGO Sets to LEGO Fan Designs

October 7, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The past day or so, I’ve gotten a lot of emails regarding this piece of “news.” I saw some images on Facebook yesterday morning about it but brushed it off because I didn’t want to advertise it. A lot of people who saw the same images are outraged that this is going on and wanted me to write about it and maybe LEGO can see what’s happening.

If you didn’t read about it a few weeks ago, LEGO filed a civil action against LEGO bootleg company Lepin and the cases have been accepted in Chinese courts for further judgment. Well since Lepin is having some legal issues copying official LEGO sets, they’ve now turned to LEGO fans for inspiration for their next sets.

As you can see above, they’ve launched their Creators line and pretty much copied the Barnes & Noble and Starbucks Store project by wooootles on LEGO Ideas. Not only that, they have more sets copied shown on the back of the box such as the International Hotel by lgorlando and the Apple Square University by Pete Stege.

One thing to note is that when you submit your project to LEGO Ideas, you “give rise to any intellectual property right interest, hereunder copyright, patent rights, design rights etc., you hereby assign all rights worldwide to the content generated by you to LEGO” as stated in the Terms of Service so basically LEGO owns the designs of the projects for three years after it is no longer considered for production.

LEGO will be celebrating its 10th anniversary of the LEGO Creator Modular Buildings in 2017 there’s already rumors of what the next set could be. There’s no concrete details of it yet but word is that it is called the Assembly Square (10255) and will be available in January 2017 at 2,699 DKK which is about $300 if you take a set to compare it to.

Brickcon is this weekend and the convention has been known to announce some exclusive direct-to-consumer sets such as the Parisian Restaurant (10243) back in 2013 and the Santa’s Workshop (10245) in 2014. Who knows if LEGO will be announcing something this year at Brickcon but we can only hope.
