LEGO Speed Champions Ford Fiesta WRC (75885) Review

February 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The second 2018 LEGO Speed Champions set that I’ll be taking a look at is the other Ford in the wave, the Ford Fiesta M-Sport WRC (75885). This set has 203 pieces and will probably retail for $14.99 if LEGO follows the pricing model of the single car sets.

LEGO Friends Friendship Flower (30404) Polybag Coming to Toys R Us

February 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you missed out on the LEGO Friends Friendship Flower (30404) polybag back during the Valentine’s Day only promotion on Shop@Home, don’t worry as Toys R Us will be carrying it very soon. While at work today, I came across a box of them that was misshipped to my store which was actually supposed to go to a Toys R Us location. The polybag will retail for $3.99 each and the item number for it is 564017. There’s no word yet on when it will be available.

LEGO 60th Anniversary 10 Foot Brick Mini Documentary

February 23, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last month, LEGO celebrated the 60th anniversary of the LEGO brick by placing a large-scale model of the red 2×4 in the middle of New York. They’ve also released a mini documentary of how the master builders transported the brick to the Flatiron District location. The video was released last week but due to the hooplah of the 2018 New York Toy Fair, it was overlooked. It’s cool to see these kinds of videos and if you didn’t know, LEGO has a secondary channel where they post these behind the scenes stuff.

Toys R Us Reported to Close Additional 200 Stores

February 22, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

You may have already heard this on the news but The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Toys R Us may close another 200 stores in addition to the 180 that was previously announced last month. This reported wave of closings will cut the number of stores in the US nearly in half. Honestly, I didn’t hear anything about the closings when I went in to work today after I read up on a few articles before going in. Supposedly there was a also conference call to discuss the future plans but I don’t see any articles of the results. I’ll see what information is known when I go back tomorrow.

If the new closings are true, that means it’ll be even harder for LEGO fans to get some of the exclusive items like polybags various sets that Toys R Us carries. It’ll be interesting to see if these exclusives are shifted to other retailers like Walmart and Target. To be fair, even though I work at Babies R Us, I do like shopping at TRU for some of the LEGO exclusives as well other stuff I collect. The only thing that bugs me about this whole thing is the bonuses that go to the executives instead to using this money to reinvest into the company. Maybe that’s not how it works and why I run a LEGO blog instead of a large company.

LEGO Speed Champions 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback (75884) Review

February 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new LEGO Speed Champions sets will be available starting in March and one of the new ones that I was very looking forward to building was the 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback (75884). It is one of the two Ford that will be releasing in this wave. I don’t have the piece count because this is the European version of the set and it will probably retail for $14.99.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Back on Amazon

February 20, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Here’s some early morning news as the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) is now back in stock on Amazon at regular price exclusively for Prime members. It seems that Amazon has been restocking the set more frequently than on Shop@Home which is weird. I have no idea how much stock they have so get on it if you don’t have it yet.

Update: Sorry folks, it looks like it’s gone for now.
Update 2: It looks like they’re coming back in stock in small batches.
