LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens X-Wing Fighter Toys R Us Instructions

November 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you missed out on the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens X-Wing Fighter Toys R Us building event, one of our readers has tweeted me the instructions for the build. The parts that are needed are pretty common so you might have some spares in your collection to build your own X-Wing.

Thanks to Braden for sending in the image in.

LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy Book Review

November 11, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

About a week ago, I received a copy of DK’s LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy by Vesa Lehtimäki, aka Avanaut. If you’ve search for LEGO photography at one time or another, you’ve probably come across his photos before. It consists of 176 pages filled with his work and retails for $24.99. Small Scenes from a Big Galaxy is a good example of what a coffee table book should be as it is filled with tons of high quality images from the artist.

One thing the book does not consist much of are words, at least the majority of it. The reason is because the book really doesn’t need words. However in the captions, Avanaut sometimes gives you some insight on how the images were created like using various household objects like gypsum and baking powder. Other times, you get a short description of what the scene is about. If you’ve tried LEGO photography before, you know that there’s lots of little details you have to get to find the right composition for the object. Avanaut is one of the many LEGO photographers who has pretty much mastered this craft.

The Behind the Scenes section of the book, it takes you through the life of Avanaut and how he has gotten to this point in his career. It also shows some of his concept art as compared to the final shot. Did you know that one shot took four years and two photoshoots to get right?

Overall, LEGO Star Wars: Small Scenes … Continue

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Maz Kanata Minifigure Revealed

November 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

**Image Removed**

I’m not sure how long this will stay up but a user last night on Instagram has posted an image of a LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens minifigure of Maz Kanata that is played by Lupita Nyong’o. Not much is known about the character but it is known that she is a space pirate from the planet of Takodana. She is also seen in the official poster that was released a few weeks ago.

This is an interesting minifigure because it wasn’t shown on the leaflet that showed some of the minifigures from the upcoming wave which could suggest that Maz is from a summer wave release. Rumor has it that there will be a set based on Takodana which includes Maz, an unmasked Kylo, and Finn with a lightsaber. Let’s wait a little longer to see if these rumors are true or not.

LEGO Star Wars 2016 Winter Wave Set Images and Minifigures

November 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

You guys might have already seen these images but earlier today while I was away at retail life again, Brickset has posted some images of the winter wave of 2016 LEGO Star Wars sets which was subsequently spread to other LEGO media outlets. The images come from a leaflet that’s included with the 30605 Finn (FN-2187) minifigure polybag which shows the sets that will be coming out in January as well as the minifigures for the sets.

Now that you’ve seen the images of this wave of sets, what do you guys think of them. Discuss below! Thanks to everyone who emailed me about it. I did see these images but didn’t have time to post about them.

There’s a new LEGO Star Wars 2-in-1 Battle Pack (66535) found at Target that features the buildable figures of Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous.

More LEGO Star Wars UCS Assault on Hoth (75098) Details

November 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few months ago, I posted some details about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Hoth Echo Base including the set number of 75098 with a recommended retail price of $249.99 which was found over on Brickset.

I have some more details about the set from a very reliable source. The set is actually called the Assault on Hoth (75098) and it will be a Ultimate Collector Series set. Pretty much everything that was shown in the mini movie will be in the set minus the AT-ATs. You can see some of the stuff in the screenshots I took above and below. Han is also shown riding the Tauntaun as well as a small Wampa cave with the Wampa bigfig and Luke hanging out.

Finally as far as the release date? I’m not sure about that but I was told that it would be released in August for New Zealand so I’m guessing it might be a May the 4th set since LEGO has traditionally released UCS sets around that time.
