The Billion Brick Race Loses Director

February 12, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in 2015, I reported that Warner Bros. was working on a new animated LEGO film called The Billion Brick Race. Originally, Jason Segel and Drew Pearce were on board to co-direct the film but was eventually replaced with The Book of Life’s Jorge R. Gutierrez in 2017. Fast forward to today where Gutierrez has announced that he has also left the project.

“I would like to publicly and from the bottom of my heart thank everyone I worked with at Briksburg, LEGO and WAG. These last 9 months were a rollercoaster of thrills to say the least. I met so many amazing new people and learned a ton from all these incredible artists, directors, writers, editors, producers and execs. I leave a better filmmaker and it’s because of you all. May our paths cross again. Gracias mis amigos. And as I toasted on my first day there, ‘May we slip n slide on the blood of our enemies!!!'”

The Billion Brick Race is still tentatively scheduled for a 2019 release which also includes The LEGO Movie Sequel releasing in the same year. There’s no word from Warner Bros. whether or not any of the two movies will be pushed back at this time.

LEGO 30499 Polybag Now Available at Walmart

February 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re in the US and are looking for the LEGO 30499 polybag, Walmart may be the place you need to head to. It seems that various Walmart locations are now stocking the polybag. It can also be found at LEGOLAND and LEGOLAND Discovery Centers as well. As for the set itself, it’s basically just a bunch of random parts for a free build. There are also instructions to create the models shown on the front of the polybag. It’s nothing too spectacular but polybag collectors will probably want to pick it up.

Thanks to Kelly for the heads up.

Ford Takes a Look at the LEGO Speed Champions Mustang Fastback

February 11, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO Speed Champions Mustang Fastback (75884)

The new 2018 wave of the LEGO Speed Champions sets will be coming out very soon and Ford has released a press release for their 1968 Mustang Fastback. This set will join five other sets in the wave and we’ll be taking a look at all of these sets when they become available.

Ford and LEGO® are celebrating Ford’s heritage by adding a 1968 Mustang fastback race car to the LEGO Speed Champions lineup.

As a tribute to America’s favorite sports car, the 183-piece Ford Mustang kit features green bodywork with gold dual stripes and wheels, race graphic stickers, removable windscreen and a mini-figure driver wearing a classic racing suit. For added fun, the race car set includes a Ford-branded timing board.

“The new Ford Mustang LEGO Speed Champions set gives parents and children the chance to share their passions – generations of fans have grown up building LEGO sets and spending time together behind the wheel,” said Myra Lind, LEGO Speed Champions marketing manager. “This partnership of iconic brands allows kids of all ages to enjoy the latest products from two great companies.”

As a natural fit for the new 2018 Mustang launch – the most personalized Mustang ever – Ford’s Design and Licensing teams worked closely with LEGO to create a 1968 Mustang fastback race car set that speaks to the passion, creativity and personalization pony car fans will appreciate.

“We worked closely with LEGO to design a vintage Mustang, personalizing the fastback with stripes and decals that harken back to Ford’s racing heritage,”

Post Your Entries for the LEGO Ideas Moments in Space Contest

February 10, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Yesterday, I reported that the crowd voting stage for the LEGO Ideas Moments in Space contest was underway. This stage is to find the top 25 entries out of a whopping 1,065 entries who participated. I’ve been asked by readers a few times already to feature their entries. While I can’t feature every single one, I’ll allow participants to leave a comment below to show off their own builds.

You may have noticed on each entry page that it doesn’t show the voes even though you have voted on a particular entry. According Hasan in the LEGO Ambassador Network, “The votes are intentionally hidden for this phase and will be revealed at the end of the contest.” This allows a level playing field since nobody knows how many votes an entry has gained. This also makes the whole thing a popularity contest to find the top 25 entries. I suggest using the filters to find which entries have the most discussions to gauge what is popular at the moment for the contest.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War Sets Found in the Wild

February 9, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like we have our first look at the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Infinity War sets which comes from an overseas toy shop. There are two sets that are on sale there, the Outrider Dropship Attack (76101) and The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (76104).

As we can see, the Outrider Dropship Attack includes minifigures of Captain America, Black Widow, and an Outrider. The Hulkbuster Smash-Up has minifigures of Bruce Banner, Falcon, Proxima Midnight, and an Outrider.

Note that the prices on the sets are probably in Singapore Dollar and not in USD. In addition to these sets, there are supposed to be four more sets in the wave. Now that the LEGO Infinity War sets are now being sold, hopefully we’ll get to see the official images of the sets soon.

In a surprise, the Walmart exclusive LEGO Classic 60th Anniversary Truck (4000030) is now available for purchase on Walmart.com.
