LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 14 Monsters (71010) Giveaway 1 Winner Announced

September 14, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few weeks ago, I ran a contest to give away a complete set of Series 14 Monsters LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010). The contest has ended and there were over 15,000 total entries but there can only be one winner (for now). The votes are tallied and the winner is:

John L.

I’ve already sent the winner an email requesting their shipping info and such and if I don’t get a response, I’ll reroll the winner. Remember that there are three complete sets of minifigures in a box so there will be two more giveaways before the year ends with the next one being held on Halloween, October 31st since these are Monsters minifigures. Thank you to everyone who participated and a big thank you to the LEGO CEE team for sending a box in for me to be able to even do this.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rey’s Speeder (75099) Review

September 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

In my second review of the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets, I have the smallest set in the initial wave, Rey’s Speeder (75099). We first saw a clear shot of the vehicle in the teaser trailer last year and LEGO has decided to include it in this wave. The set contains 193 pieces and retails for $19.99 which isn’t a bad price point. The contents of the box include two numbered bags and an instruction booklet.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon (75105) Review

September 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last week on Force Friday, LEGO released the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets to the public. Let’s hit the set reviews off with a bang and do the biggest set in the wave first, the Millennium Falcon (75105). Everyone was excited when the Falcon showed up in the first teaser trailer and we knew it was coming back for Episode VII. Of course, LEGO had to update the 2011 (7965) version so it’ll correspond to the one in the upcoming movie. The new Millennium Falcon (75105) has 1329 pieces and retails for $149.99. There are ten numbered bags, one un-numbered bag of plates, and a bagged instruction booklet with sticker sheet. Be warned, there may be some speculation and minor spoilers in The Force Awakens LEGO set reviews.

LEGO Disney Princess Frozen Late 2015 Set Descriptions

September 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in July, I reported that two more LEGO Disney Princess Frozen sets will be coming out later this year. We didn’t have much to go on except for the the set names and prices but Toys R Us Canada has the sets listed online with set descriptions for Anna & Kristoff’s Sleigh Adventure (41066) and Arendelle Castle Celebration (41068) but no images at this time. As I predicted, 41066 will have Anna, Kristoff, and Sven mini-dolls while 41068 will have Elsa and Anna mini-dolls will have outfits from Frozen Fever.

Official LEGO Costumes Coming in Fall 2016

September 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s something interesting coming out of the folks at Brick Fanatics this morning. Have you ever wanted to wear official LEGO costumes for your Halloween parties and functions? Well that will be happening starting next year. Local costume company, Disguise, has announced last week that they are partnering up with The LEGO Group to produce official Halloween costumes, role play and accessories based on popular LEGO characters. This will be a multi-year deal so you can expect to see LEGO costumes in the next few years in the US, Europe, and Asia. There’s no word on what characters will be included but most likely there will be some from their own IP library like Chima, Ninjago, Friends, and The LEGO Movie. Looking on their website, they already have LEGO Mixels listed. You can expect the official LEGO costumes to be hitting shelves starting in fall 2016.

POWAY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Disguise, Inc., the Halloween costume division of leading toy manufacturer, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK), announced today that it has secured a licensing agreement with the LEGO Group to “construct” children’s Halloween costumes, role play and accessories based on popular LEGO® characters. The multi-year, multi-category agreement grants Disguise rights to distribute its LEGO licensed products across channels in North America, Europe, Korea and China.

“The LEGO brand is full of aspirational characters that kids love and want to be. We are very excited to be partnering with the LEGO Group to design and create innovative costumes and accessories based on their inspirational and iconic characters,” said Joe Anton,

LEGO Minecraft 2016 Set Details

August 31, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Minecraft theme will be continuing in 2016 with a few more of the minifigure-scale sets. CM4Sci on Eurobricks has posted the names of four sets that will be coming out next year. I don’t play Minecraft anymore but doing some research, the sets do sound interesting. Like with the current wave, there will be a few different biomes that will be played out in the new Minecraft sets.

The Iron Golem (21123)
The End Portal (21124)
The Jungle Tree House (21125)
The Wither (21126)

The Iron Golem set, you’ll probably be getting a few minifigures since the Iron Golem defends villages of at least 10 villagers. Obviously LEGO won’t be putting that many in a what I expect to be a smaller set but I think there will be a few.

The End Portal will probably contain a lot of gray parts with some green portals.

I think The Jungle Tree House is exactly what it sounds like. There will be some sort of house in a jungle setting so expect to see lots of trees and such.

Finally, The Wither is a floating, three-headed boss. It is created with soul sand in a T-shape and you put wither skeleton skulls at the top so I think there will be some wither skeleton minifigures in the set.
