LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Millennium Falcon (75105) Review

September 9, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last week on Force Friday, LEGO released the new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens sets to the public. Let’s hit the set reviews off with a bang and do the biggest set in the wave first, the Millennium Falcon (75105). Everyone was excited when the Falcon showed up in the first teaser trailer and we knew it was coming back for Episode VII. Of course, LEGO had to update the 2011 (7965) version so it’ll correspond to the one in the upcoming movie. The new Millennium Falcon (75105) has 1329 pieces and retails for $149.99. There are ten numbered bags, one un-numbered bag of plates, and a bagged instruction booklet with sticker sheet. Be warned, there may be some speculation and minor spoilers in The Force Awakens LEGO set reviews.

LEGO Disney Princess Frozen Late 2015 Set Descriptions

September 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Back in July, I reported that two more LEGO Disney Princess Frozen sets will be coming out later this year. We didn’t have much to go on except for the the set names and prices but Toys R Us Canada has the sets listed online with set descriptions for Anna & Kristoff’s Sleigh Adventure (41066) and Arendelle Castle Celebration (41068) but no images at this time. As I predicted, 41066 will have Anna, Kristoff, and Sven mini-dolls while 41068 will have Elsa and Anna mini-dolls will have outfits from Frozen Fever.

Official LEGO Costumes Coming in Fall 2016

September 6, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Here’s something interesting coming out of the folks at Brick Fanatics this morning. Have you ever wanted to wear official LEGO costumes for your Halloween parties and functions? Well that will be happening starting next year. Local costume company, Disguise, has announced last week that they are partnering up with The LEGO Group to produce official Halloween costumes, role play and accessories based on popular LEGO characters. This will be a multi-year deal so you can expect to see LEGO costumes in the next few years in the US, Europe, and Asia. There’s no word on what characters will be included but most likely there will be some from their own IP library like Chima, Ninjago, Friends, and The LEGO Movie. Looking on their website, they already have LEGO Mixels listed. You can expect the official LEGO costumes to be hitting shelves starting in fall 2016.

POWAY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Disguise, Inc., the Halloween costume division of leading toy manufacturer, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK), announced today that it has secured a licensing agreement with the LEGO Group to “construct” children’s Halloween costumes, role play and accessories based on popular LEGO® characters. The multi-year, multi-category agreement grants Disguise rights to distribute its LEGO licensed products across channels in North America, Europe, Korea and China.

“The LEGO brand is full of aspirational characters that kids love and want to be. We are very excited to be partnering with the LEGO Group to design and create innovative costumes and accessories based on their inspirational and iconic characters,” said Joe Anton,

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter (30276) Polybag Image

September 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier today, I’ve received an email from a reader named Gonzalo who sent me images of the first building set polybag for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter (30276). There was no mentioning of where it came from, where it will be available at, or the price of it (if any).

There is also another The Force Awakens LEGO polybag with the C-3PO (5002948) minifigure polybag which I believe will be available in November at Toys R Us with a purchase.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) Minifigure Polybag

September 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens C-3PO (5002948) Polybag

It was revealed a few a while back but there will be a polybag associated with Star Wars: The Force Awakens which is a C-3PO (5002948) minifigure polybag. As you can see, this version of C-3PO is a little different from the usual versions we’ve seen since has a red arm for some reason which will be revealed in the movie this December.

There are two different offers for the polybag in the US as far as I know. One is a LEGOLAND Florida special offer where purchases of $35 or more from September 7 to September 28 will net you on of these polybags. The other offer hasn’t been officially announced yet but I heard that it will be available at Toys R Us with a certain purchase amount in November. Check out a short review of it from PromoBricks below.

LEGO Ideas The Little Prince Achieves 10,000 Supporters

September 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Little Prince project by Colin23 is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the book, Le Petit Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery where a pilot stranded in the desert meets a yound prince fallen to Earth from a tiny astreroid.

The project just barely made it to the Second 2015 LEGO Review deadline with a few days to spare which also includes other projects like Brick-Built Adventure Time Figures, Caterham Super Seven, the Modular Library, Lothlorien, LEGO Physics, Ghostbusters: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Hobbit-Rivendell, and the Indominus Rex as the ones that qualify to be reviewed by LEGO to become an official set. With the Second 2015 LEGO Review stage coming to an end, we should probably be hearing about the results of the First 2015 LEGO Review very soon so stay tuned for that.

LEGO Ideas WALL•E (21303) with Power Functions

September 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There are some more modifications that builders have made to the new LEGO Ideas WALL·E (21303) set. Yesterday, I spoke about a mod by Chris McVeigh on a solution to fixing the stability of the head. Another builder named PPUNG DADDY(뿡대디) has implemented Power Functions to the WALL·E set. The way they have it set up, you only need 16 bricks including the Power Functions motor to get WALL·E moving. As you can see in the video below, the battery box is inserted into the trash compactor and the receiver is attached to the back while the motors are hooked on to the tread wheels. The wires go underneath the set which is very unintrusive. I’m pretty sure many had ideas about motorizing WALL·E and this is one way of doing it. Check out the video below.
