LEGO Store March 2015 Monthly Mini Build Event Robot (40128) Review

March 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO March 2015 Monthly Mini Build - Robot (40128)

Yesterday was the March 2015 Monthly Mini Build event at LEGO Stores and the build was a Robot (40128). It seems that LEGO has been going for a space theme connection recently with the Monthly Builds this year so far with the Alien (40126) in January, the Space Shuttle (40127) last month, the Robot from yesterday, and an UFO (40129) for April. The event itself was pretty packed, more so than the previous couple of months. It seemed like many kids were building the set inside the store as well.

The 50 piece Robot has a cool look to it with some interesting pieces to go along with it. It has a head that swivels a full 360 degrees. The arms are articulated on the newer ball joint pieces. The torso area on the front has a printed 1×4 tile with gauges and dials while the back has a windup key.

As I mentioned before, the April 2015 Monthly Mini Build will be an UFO (40129) to continue the trend of space-themed builds.

LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) Confirmed and Image

March 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in October of last year, we exclusively reported that the LEGO The Simpsons line would be releasing another set this year with the Kwik-E-Mart (71016). Many people were skeptical about the set but we were pretty confident in our source of the news.

Today, there is definite confirmation in the set because there is a leaked image of the box coming from an Instagram post. As you can see, some of the minifigures included in the set are at least Apu, Marge, Chief Wiggum, and Snake who we saw before with the head mold image. In addition to the Kwik-E-Mart building itself, the set also includes Chief Wiggum’s police car. Also note that the E on the store sign is brick built while the other words are stickers.

According to the April 2015 LEGO Store Calendar, there is an exclusive set being released for LEGO VIP members from April 15-30 and I believe that it will be indeed the LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016) and will be released to the general public on May 1st. The official images of the set will be out in a few weeks.

So what are your guys’ thoughts on the set now that you seen a little teaser image of it?

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Sith Infiltrator (75096) and Constraction Set Details

March 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

We have some new LEGO Star Wars 2015 news/rumors for you guys today. Sir von Lego over on Eurobricks has in hand a German retailer catalog and there’s a new set that we haven’t mentioned before, a Sith Infiltrator (75096). This new version of the ship could be a store exclusive and that’s why it wasn’t mentioned before. It was also stated that the minifigures that will be included in the set are Darth Maul, Watto, Young Anakin, Astromech, and Qui-Gon Jinn. There’s been a couple version released already with the latest one being 7961 in 2011 but it seems that we’ll be getting another Sith Infiltrator this year.

Sir von LEGO has also given a more accurate detail of the characters for the LEGO Star Wars Constraction Ultrabuild sets coming later this year. These characters are Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, General Grievous, and a Stormtrooper. It was earlier mentioned that Jango Fett and Commander Cody would be two of the characters but it seems that that isn’t the case now.

More Details on LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) Polybag

February 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, we reported that the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car (30303) polybag was listed on Toys R Us’ website. Ever since we reported on the polybag, it has subsequently been taken off the website and there has been absolutely no word on it, until now. It was actually earlier this month on the Brickset Forums that a user by the name of Waynegg found out that the polybag was listed in Target’s inventory system. So somewhere between the end of last year and beginning of February, something must have happened with LEGO and Toys R Us with the polybag being pulled from their system and ended up in Target’s system. Waynegg did mention that “TRU and LEGO were at odds over the Bricktober sets when they started selling them as they were intended for giveaways” which was the case because they were being sold for $20 each so I guess future “exclusives” will be going to other retailers now.

The OP also has provided the UPC code for it (673419233743) as well as the DPCI (204-00-0479) and sure enough, the DPCI number does show up in the Target’s system. Another member of the forum also chimed in saying it’ll be showing up in March or April but it’s purely speculation. My suggestion is to keep checking up on the DPCI number and see when it actually shows up as available in the system. It’s not much more information than what we had before but it’s at least we now know that … Continue
