LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) Now Available at Walmart

July 6, 2012 /

The new LEGO Super Heroes Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873)icon set has shown up on Walmart’s website, earlier than the expected August 1 released. The price is listed at $29.97 which is less than what we thought it would be when it was first announced. That is a definite thumbs up in my book. Unfortunately, it shows that it is out of stock online. LEGO fans sure jumped on it quick! Maybe there are some in stores soon?

Scheming Doctor Octopus has captured Iron Fist and is conducting experiments on him, trying to steal his superpowers. Help Spider-Man sneak in through the air vent and swoop down on Doc Ock to release Iron Fist! Then stop the wicked doctor from fleeing on his missile-firing car!

    LEGO My House Calculator

    June 30, 2012 /

    Have you ever wondered how many LEGO bricks are needed to construct an actual life sized house? Movoto Real Estate has a handy calculator to help curious minds see how many LEGO bricks are needed to create one. For example:

    A two-story house that is 2,169 square feet — the median size of a house, according to the Census Bureau–would take 10,079,829 LEGOs to build.

    This count only includes exterior walls and does not have interior walls. Furniture is also not included in the count.

    If you may remember in 2009, James May, yes the same James May from Top Gear, and his team constructed a 3.3 million piece, two-storied house at Denbies Wine Estate. Although it wasn’t as fully functional as he would’ve liked, it was good enough for him to sleep there for a night. Unfortunately, plans to sell it to Legoland Windsor didn’t go through and the LEGO bricks were donated to charity.

    So if you ever wanted to know an estimated amount of bricks to build a house, head over to Movoto and test out their calculator today.

    New LEGO MMO Game In The Works

    June 28, 2012 /

    Galaxy Patrol

    LEGO is teaming up with Norwegian game developer, Funcom, to create a new massive multiplayer online game based on the LEGO Collectible Minifigures. This will be the second MMO for LEGO with LEGO Universe being the first. As you may remember, Universe was shut down on January 30, 2012 due to “not been able to build a satisfactory revenue model in our target group.”

    There are no further details for the new MMO and the release date has not yet been announced. However, there is already much anticipation and excitement building up for the game especially for fans of the actual collectible minifigures themselves. Below is the official press release from Funcom:

    Funcom signs license agreement with the LEGO Group to develop MMO game based on the hugely popular LEGO® Minifigures line of collectible play materials

    Durham, USA – June 28th, 2012 – Funcom, a world leading independent developer and publisher of online games, is excited to announce that the company has signed a license agreement with the LEGO Group, one of the world’s most successful manufacturers of play materials, to develop a massively multiplayer online game based on the hugely popular LEGO® Minifigures franchise.

    LEGO® Minifigures are the inhabitants of an unimaginable number of spectacular creations put together by both kids and grown-ups over the past several decades. Whether it is a knight in shining armor, a brave firefighter or just an oddball in a gorilla suit, these figures breath life into elaborately constructed cities, castles and even space stations around the world.

    LEGO Build with Chrome – Nyan Cat

    June 27, 2012 /

    Yesterday, I did a post of a new application from LEGO and Google called Build. My good friend Erica, from colinmorganfan.com, has created a model of Nyan Cat using Build. From what I see, it looks really amazing even though there were only limited colors for her to use. If you didn’t know it was made with LEGO bricks, you’d probably thought it was a real picture of Nyan Cat. Head over to Build today, create something, and you may get featured.

    LEGO Build With Chrome Application

    June 27, 2012 /

    Today, while listening to Damond Nollan’s podcast on Room 3026 Live, I learned about this new application by Google called Build with Chrome. Google Australia and LEGO joined up to create an app which allows users to create a virtual property with a click of your mouse. You begin with a map of Australia and New Zealand and given a 32×32 plot of land to create your masterpiece. From there, you are given 12 different bricks and plates in 10 different colors to work with. There is also a door and a window to complete your house. From my testing, your structure can be 28 brick high. Once you’ve completed your model, you can submit it and wait for it to be approved, but once you’ve committed to publishing it, you cannot change or delete it. After it’s been approved, you can see your model on the map along with many other users’ creations. If you want that particular plot of land in Sydney or Queensland, you should hurry because it is first come, first served. Start having fun today with Build with Chrome and watch your productivity go down.
