LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010) Series 14 Monsters Giveaway #1

August 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As you can see from the image above, I have a full box of the Series 14 Monsters LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71010). As we know by now, there are three complete sets of 16 minifigures in a full box and that is what I have in my possession. With that, I’ll be doing three separate giveaways until the rest of the year to three lucky fans for each set 16. The first giveaway will be in this post and the others will be held on Halloween, October 31 and on either Thanksgiving, November 26 or on Christmas, December 25. I haven’t decided on the last one yet.

To enter the giveaway, just use the Rafflecopter widget below. It’s pretty simple and straightforward and in two weeks, I’ll be randomly choosing a winner through the widget and that fan will be sent a set of 16 Monsters minifigs for free.

I didn’t feel like feeling for each minifigure so when you receive them, they will be opened but will have everything that should be there including the leaflets and the stands.

Good luck everyone and I would like to thank the LEGO CEE team for sending a box in for me to do this giveaway.

In 2008, Disney and Pixar released a film called WALL·E and it instantly became not only one of best animated movies of all-time, but one of the best movies in general. In July of last year, the LEGO Ideas project by Angus MacLane hit 10,000 supporters and a few months later, it was announced that WALL·E would become an official LEGO Ideas set.

LEGO Seasonal Trick or Treat (40122) Review

August 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, we got our first look at the new LEGO Seasonal Trick or Treat (40122) set. The set is officially available on September 1st but some LEGO Stores have started receiving their shipments of it. I’ve managed to purchase a set and here’s my review of it.

The Trick or Treat set contains 133 pieces and retails for $9.99 like previous Seasonal sets. The contents of the box include three un-numbered bags, a small instruction booklet, and two loose dark green 4×8 plates.

What is Your Grail LEGO Set?

August 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

People collect LEGO for many reasons. Most people love to build the sets, others love creating MOCs. Many of us try to collect a certain theme whether it be Star Wars or Super Heroes, there’s always something out there for someone. While collecting sets, there might be some that many would consider the “Holy Grail” of LEGO sets.

So what constitutes as a “Grail?” It pretty much can be anything that one’s heart desires. It could be a set that someone has been on their radar for a long time. An obvious example that sticks out would be the UCS Millennium Falcon (10179) from 2007. However it doesn’t have to be a rare or an expensive set. It can also mean collecting every set that has been released for a certain theme. Grails doesn’t have a set definition and can change over time as it constantly evolves to our taste and personal opinions.

Identifying what a “Grail” is gets challenging when one attempts to apply a meaning to it. It could be defined by it’s rarity, for example, popular retired sets like the Cafe Corner and the Green Grocer modulars and the before-mentioned Millennium Falcon. For some, other items like Comic Con exclusives could also be considered due to their rarity. For me, my Grail was the Death Star (10188) but that was a few years ago when I got back into the hobby and have since purchased one. My Grail has now shifted to the ever-elusive UCS Millennium Falcon but it isn’t a high priority … Continue

August 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re a fan of the LEGO Advent Calendars, Amazon has all three of this year’s calendars available for pre-order including Star Wars, City, and Friends. The advent calendars have been pretty popular the past few years especially the LEGO Star wars one which usually sells out even before Thanksgiving time rolls around. They should be available at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home on or around September 1st so I suggest picking them up early if you really want one before they sell out.

LEGO Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082) Review

August 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Since today is a Thursday, let’s do a sort of a retro review on a newer set. For one more day, LEGO will be giving out the promo LEGO Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082) with purchases of $75 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home. Some stores may have already run out of their stock so online is probably the only way you can get it. This set continues the trend from last year where LEGO releases a set dedicated for a classic theme. Last year, we had the Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) and now we have another theme with the Pirates.

Box

Like with the previous promo, the box for the Classic Pirates Minifigure is made of a matte-like material. The design is also the same with the classic LEGO System logo on each side of the box and the year now shows 2015.

The contents of the promo box include a sealable bag of parts, a postcard showing off some of the LEGO Pirates minifigures through the years, and the building instructions/history guide.

The postcard shows a few Pirates minifigures including Captain Redbeard as well as some of the newer ones from this year.

For the instruction booklet, the first couple of pages show you the build while the rest of the book shows you a variety of LEGO Pirates sets starting from 1989 until the present. Did you know there was a LEGO Pirates Advent Calendar (6299) in 2009?
