LEGO Mixels Ending After 2016?

August 30, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re a LEGO Mixels fan, there may be some bad news about the theme. It was reported yesterday by Brickset that the fairly popular theme may be coming to an end after this year. There are some clues into this theory when the show’s producer on Cartoon Network, Jordan Reicheck stated that the last episode will premiere in September.

We already know there will be another wave of LEGO Mixels coming this October with Series 9 but there hasn’t been any information about any future waves and the rumored 2017 set list made no mention of them.

Of course, nothing is really set in stone as the show ending may not mean that the LEGO theme itself is ending. If you enjoyed the theme whether it be the weird characters or because they’re great parts packs, LEGO Mixels did have a good three year run. As people always say, hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

LEGO Star Wars Eclipse Fighter (75145) Review

August 29, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in February, it was announced that LEGO will be releasing a new animated series on Disney XD called LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures and in conjunction with the show, there was a couple of sets released as well. LEGO has kindly sent over the two sets for us to review including the Eclipse Fighter (75145) and the StarScavenger (75147). In this post, I’ll be review the smaller set with the Eclipse Fighter. It contains 363 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is a pretty good price/piece ratio. The contents of the box include three numbered bags and the instruction booklet.

**WARNING: If you haven’t watched LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures, I suggest watching it over on Disney XD as it does have an interesting original storyline which is set between Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. There will be some minor spoilers in the reviews.**

LEGO Minifigure Collection Musicians (55004421)

Remember when Toys R Us did exclusive LEGO Minifigure Collections for Bricktober before they changed to the Mini Modular sets the last few years? It looks like they might be making a comeback as Brickset has found that a new Minifigure Collection set has shown up online for TRU Germany and selling for 14.99€. This set is the first of four Minifigure Collections for this year and it features Musicians (55004421) which looks like it’s just a mix of various minifigure parts including some from the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line. Currently it only ships to Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Poland but hopefully when October comes around, they will be available here in the States as well.

Update: The rest of the Toys R Us Bricktober 2016 sets have been revealed. Head over to the other post to see them.
