Final Teaser Revealed for Scheduled LEGO Announcement Tomorrow

April 8, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO continues to tease us with another mysterious image today with this one featuring Batman. There have been images popping up on various social media accounts feature LEGO minifigures like Lord of the Rings with Gandalf and Wyldstyle from The LEGO Movie. In addition, LEGO has posted a short video featuring Joel McHale finding a mysterious glowing box at his front door with the caption “A mysterious box in front of an unassuming doorway… Interesting way to #BreakTheRules”.

Many people in the LEGO community believe that these teasers are for the new LEGO toys-to-life video game called LEGO Dimensions which will be released this year. This new game will “break” into the industry where Activision’s Skylanders, Disney’s Infinity, and Nintendo’s amiibo have dominated the marketplace. The meaning of these teasers aren’t that long as there will be a big reveal sometime tomorrow.

The LEGO Movie Mysterious Message Being Revealed on Thursday

April 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There’s a mysterious image posted on the official The LEGO Movie Facebook Page that shows Wyldstyle standing in front of the portal with the hashtag #BreakTheRules. What’s interesting is the caption also says “2 Days. It’ll be like Taco Tuesday… but on a Thursday” so it seems something big will be revealed on Thursday. The Lord of the Rings Facebook Page also has something similar with Gandalf in the image. What could this be? I doubt it’ll be something to do with The LEGO Movie Sequel since that movie is still three years away and they’re still in the early stages of production. Could it have to do with some of the spinoff movies that will be coming out in the next few years?

Rumors has it that the reveal will be the new LEGO Dimensions toys-to-life game that will be releasing this year. We shall all see what this all means together on Thursday!

Rumors of New LEGO Star Wars Death Star Set in 2016

April 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

While I was catching up on Eurobricks, I found something interesting on the LEGO Star Wars board by Just2Good. I’m not totally sure if it was an April Fool’s joke but he stated that there will be a new Death Star set coming out in 2016 which will replace the current 10188 set. It does sound pretty fake because there is one that is still currently being sold on Shop@Home. What if this piece of news was actually real and J2G fooled everyone by posting so close to April Fool’s Day to make it seem like a joke.

There are some things that makes a new Death Star set plausible. First, the current set will be turning 7 years old in a few months and the minifigures are pretty outdated by today’s standards. They are still great minifigures but they could use an update, preferably with some different characters. There’s no other set that’s been sold as long as the 10188 set has been selling. There’s also another rumor that the current Death Star will be retired by the end of the year so a new one to replace the old one as a flagship set seems reasonable. I’ve also heard from a pretty reliable source stating that the Death Star will be gone by the end of 2015 as well.

Again, a new Death Star for 2016 set sounds far-fetched but not out of the realm of possibility. Is Just2Good telling the truth or is this a ruse? From what I’ve seen so … Continue

LEGO Creator Ferris Wheel (10247) To Be Revealed Soon

April 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Every month this year, there has been a reveal of a LEGO Direct-to-Consumer set, usually around the middle of the month except for The Shield Helicarrier (76042) which was at the end of January. I expect LEGO to do the same in April with their reveal of the rumored Ferris Wheel (10247). One of my reasonings is that according to the May 2015 LEGO Store Calendar from May 13-31, VIP members will be getting early access to a new exclusive set. This date range also corresponds to the date that was provided from the fairly famous list of 2015 set releases and promotions.

For those who haven’t heard about the set, the Ferris Wheel (10247) is rumored to be a companion set to the LEGO Creator Fairground Mixer (10244) which was revealed around the same time last year. I know a lot of people really dig the Mixer with all the play features that are included and I’m sure the Ferris Wheel won’t disappoint either. Now we just play the waiting game until the set is officially revealed which could be any time between now and the end of the month.

Do you guys have the Fairground Mixer and will you be getting the Ferris Wheel to go along with it to expand your amusement park?

LEGO April Fool’s Day 2015 Roundup

April 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Now that April Fools Day is over, I think it’s time for me to explain myself for the evil post I did yesterday. During the whole year, I’m mostly serious with the news that I report on and April 1st is the one day that I get to have a bit more fun, maybe a little too much. Some readers caught on quickly to the post while some took it seriously and for that, I apologize. I like to also apologize to the LEGO Stores who received calls regarding this matter. Please do not call your LEGO Store asking about old Modular sets returning this weekend. They aren’t coming back. Period.

There was a subtle hint in the “press release” that sort of gives the joke away. The set numbers of the Cafe Corner and Green Grocer were switched around. Again, some readers saw that mistake while many others didn’t notice it at all. As a result of this mean charade, I will be retiring from the April Fool’s jokes and will not be posting anything next year. As a warning, never trust anything on April 1st or even the day before which was when I posted my “news”.

Anyways, other LEGO sites in the community also had some April Fool’s shenanigans of their own yesterday. Below are some of the ones I know of and if I missed any, leave a comment below and I’ll add it to the list.

LEGO themselves announced LEGO Glasses to help you find missing bricks or filtering bricks … Continue
