Toys R Us Bricktober 2013 Exclusive Minifigure Collections Revealed

September 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

October starts next week and Toys R Us stores will have their annual Bricktober promotion. FBTB reports for Bricktober 2013, there will be three exclusive 5-pack Minifigure Collections available during the month. There’s no word on how much you have to spend to get the specific collection for each week. If it’s the same as last year, you will have to spend $59.99 or more to get it. Also note that there are only three collections available this year instead of four. We’re not sure if there will be anything available for the fourth week of October.

Toys R Us Canada will also be having Bricktober happening at their stores. According to their site, there will be various things happening starting this Friday.

LEGO Shop Minifigure Polybag (5001622) Details

September 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, we reported there was a new polybag of a LEGO Shop Minifigure Polybag (5001622) with a 2×4 red brick. We weren’t sure of how to obtain the polybag until now. BrickPicker user Brickinfinite has posted how they have managed to get one. They’ve recently received an order from Shop@Home and it was included with the package. There was also a note card saying:

Free Exclusive LEGO Shop Minifigure!

As a thank you for shopping at the Official LEGO Shop and to celebrate the launch of our mobile site, a FREE LEGO Shop Minifigure has been included with your order.

This minifigure is exclusive to the LEGO Shop and can’t be found anywhere else!

Happy Building!

So there you go. It was just a small thank you present for shopping online and for LEGO to promote their new mobile site that recently launched. Brickinfinite also mentions that he just made a purchase through the website although he doesn’t say how much he spent to get it. We’ll give an update as soon as we hear something.

LEGO Ninjago 2014 Official Partial Set Images

September 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 22 Comments

LEGO Ninjago is officially back! In our third straight day of reporting Ninjago 2014 news, The Brick News has posted a couple of the official images of some of the sets which came from K-Mart of all sites. There are also descriptions which lists the minifigures including General Cryptor that we first reported a couple of days ago. What’s interesting to notice here too is that that the Kai, Lloyd, and Jay all have hair pieces instead of their hooded masks although if you look closely, the hoods still cover up half their faces. Also, you can see on the top right corner of the boxes of what Zane looks like. On the back of the OverBorg Attack box, you can get a clearer picture of him in his half Nindroid form. Now we just have to wait a little longer for the rest of the sets to show up.

Kai Fighter (70721) – $19.99

Put the heat on General Cryptor and grab the Techno-Blade with Kai Fighter with 2 flick missiles, jet engines and speed mode wings.

Kai has taken over a civilian vehicle and used his Techno-Blade to turn it into an awesome red and gold Ninja Fighter! Take off and weave between the skyscrapers of New Ninjago City with Kai in the cockpit. Shoot the gold-tipped flick missiles into the path of the evil General Cryptor and evade blasts from his ground-to-air laser rocket launcher. Defeat General Cryptor then flip the wings back to engage speed mode and zoom away. Includes 2 minifigures

LEGO Ninjago 2014 – Rebooted

September 24, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The Official LEGO Ninjago Facebook Page has posted the above image of a new LEGO Ninjago poster with the words “REBOOTED” on top and an image of a cyborg ninja minifigure which we think is General Cryptor from yesterday’s post. On the bottom of the poster are the numbers “01001110 01001001 01001110 01000100 01010010 01001111 01001001 01000100”. For all of you who do not speak binary, the letters spell out “Nindroid”.

It looks like that LEGO is beginning to ramp up their promotion for the 2014 LEGO Ninjago sets. The word “rebooted” may also be a play on words because it looks like LEGO is deciding to go in a different direction than what we’ve seen before with Ninjago with the Nindroids. Below is a list of what we believe to be the list of sets for next year’s release:

70720 – Air Breaks (Hover Hunter)
70721 – Kai fighter (Fighter Kai)
70722 – OverBorg attack (OverBorg Attack)
70723 – Thunder offensive (Thunder Raider)
70724 – NinjaCopter (NinjaCopter)
70725 – Nindroid mechanical dragon (Nindroid MechDragon)
70726 – Destroyers (Destructoid)

Update: We now have some images from a few of the sets. Check them out here.

LEGO Ninjago 2014 Cyborg Ninja Minifigure

September 23, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

Eurobricks user Mesonak has just posted a link to eBay of a picture of what appears to be a new cyborg ninja minifigure for the LEGO Ninjago 2014 sets. The minifigure is named General Cryptor and the listing has it coming from two sets from the 2014 line: 70721 – Kai fighter (Fighter Kai) and 70724 – NinjaCopter (NinjaCopter). Back in May, we posted a rumored list of the 2014 Ninjago sets and it looks like they are true.

As an eBay Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

General Cryptor is a mostly black minifigure with electronics in front and back of the torso. The armor piece also shows some more robotic features and holds a katana sword. The mask also has a cybernetic eye device over the left eye. The head piece itself also has a lot of cybernetic printing as well.

Update: The final price for the auction went for $53.50 with 19 bids on General Cryptor.

Update 2: We now have some images from a few of the sets. Check them out here.

LEGO CUUSOO Sherlock Achieves 10,000 Supporters

September 22, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Sherlock project by flailx is the latest project to hit 10,000 supporters on LEGO CUUSOO. It had massive support from Sherlockology and quickly rose through the ranks of supported CUUSOO projects to reach the milestone. The project is based on the BBC drama of the same name starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. The set is recreates the the consultation room in Sherlock Holmes’ flat in 221B Baker St. The room consists of Sherlock’s desk, a couple of chairs, and a fireplace. There are also some details that reminds you of Sherolock’s place such as the hat rack which includes the deerstalker hat. The expanded version of the set will feature everything from the original plus more details of the living room including the couch and the wallpaper in the room. The minifigures that are featured are Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, and Mrs. Hudson while the expanded set may include Jim Moriarty, Inspector Lestrade, Molly Hooper, and/or Mycroft Holmes. The Sherlock project now moves on to the Winter review stage. As a huge fan of the Sherlock TV series, I’m excited to see this project hit 10k supporters. We’ll just have to see what happens when the review stage rolls around. Congratulations to flailx for this amazing achievement!

Congrats on 10,000 Supporters, Flailx!
