August 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this year, I reviewed the LEGO Ultra Agents Google Play App and mentioned that there could be another wave the the sets coming in the future and it may seem that is true. Mesonak on Eurobricks has posted a list of the new 2015 LEGO Ultra Agents sets which come from Swiss shopping site Max Bersinger AG. Again, the sets are loosely translated but you get an idea what is coming next year. NZD prices come from CM4Sci and David Thomsen.

LEGO Top Gear Sets Coming in 2015?

August 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Remember last year when we reported that Top Gear asked random people to take a survey on possibly bringing vehicles from the show into LEGO form? We doubted it but a new report from CM4Sci over on Eurobricks may ease my doubts just a little.

He has posted a list of “Super Car” sets, again from David Thomsen, which makes it seem that a LEGO Top Gear theme could be happening in 2015. If not, they may just be more Creator sets or maybe TECHNIC sets based on those supercars. The pricing is in New Zealand Dollars so USD will be a little lower than what is shown below. Again, take this information as rumors but it may seem that these are legit. Another question is “Who is David Thomsen?”

La Ferrari (75899) – 24.99/$20
458 Italia GT2 (75908) – 24.99/$20
McLaren P1 (75909) – 24.99/$20
Porsche 918 Spyder (75910) – 24.99/$20
McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop (75911) – 69.99/$60
Porsche 911 GT Finish Line (75912) – 99.99/$80
T & F14 Ferrari Truck (75913) – 179.99/$150

**Note: The image above was from the Top Gear survey from last year and NOT the rumored sets reported.**

Another Wave of LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Coming in 2015?

August 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO The Simpsons Series Collectible Minifigures (71005)

Okay this is some very unexpected news but CM4Sci over at Eurobricks has reported there will be another wave of LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures (71009) coming out in 2015! This piece of news comes from someone named David Thomsen who was the same person that revealed the list of the 2015 LEGO Pirates sets. The price given is 4.99 NZD but will probably stay at $3.99 for us here in the States. So who is excited for another wave of Simpsons minifigures and which characters would you like to see in this wave?

**Note: The above image is NOT the new one that are coming out next year. Those are the ones that are still currently in stores.**

August 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The holiday season is just around the corner and images of the new LEGO Seasonal sets have started to surface. Brickset has revealed the Halloween Bat (40090) which have been reported to be showing up at various LEGO Brand Stores. It contains 156 pieces and most likely will probably retail for $9.99. In the instructions booklet for the Halloween Bat shows another Seasonal set which is the Thanksgiving Turkey (40091). Both sets are similiar to the Seasonal sets that we’ve gotten earlier this year including the Valentine’s Day Teddy Bear (40085) and the Easter Bunny (40086).

The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming Press Release

August 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, No Starch Press sent us a press release for The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming. You can also pre-order the book on Amazon. Check out the press release below:

The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming—New from No Starch Press

New book unlocks the power of the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 programming language

San Francisco, CA, August 26, 2014—The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 system makes it easy for anyone to build and control robots. LEGO’s block-based and colorful EV3 programming language is great for first-timers, but it has more powerful features than its user-friendly interface might suggest.

In the upcoming book The Art of LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Programming (No Starch Press, $34.95, 276 pp., Sept 2014, ISBN 9781593275686), software engineer Terry Griffin offers a beginner-friendly, in-depth guide to the EV3 language. An update to Griffin’s highly regarded Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming, this new book teaches readers the basic building blocks and then launches into more sophisticated programs. Readers begin by writing functions that control their robots’ movement, sensors, and sounds and then move on to programming more complex behaviors that allow their robots to follow lines, detect objects, and navigate mazes.
According to No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock, “The EV3 programming language is remarkably approachable but also surprisingly deep. Griffin’s new book will show any serious EV3 programmer how to unlock the real power of EV3. Competitive MINDSTORMERs will love this book.”

In The Art of LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Programming, readers learn how to:

Make robots react to different environments

Finally, the LEGO booth will be selling The Ghost exclusive set. It is the same set from SDCC except that you get a Kanan Jarrus minifigure instead of Chopper.
