LEGO City Space Shuttle (3367) Review

August 18, 2013 /

When I was younger, I didn’t get a chance to get the older LEGO shuttle sets such as the Space Shuttle Launch (1682) or the Shuttle Launching Crew (6346). As I got older, I was and still am fascinated with space-related things and when I came out of the “Dark Ages”, I saw the LEGO City Space Shuttle (3367) and I knew I had to get it. The set contains 231 pieces and retails for $29.99, a $0.13/piece ratio. The box has two numbered bags, one instruction booklet, one loose 6×16 black baseplate, and one sticker sheet.

Brick by Brick by David Robertson Book Review

August 17, 2013 /

Recently, I was sent a copy of a new LEGO book called Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry written by David C. Robertson with Bill Breen. Robertson was a Business Professor at the International Institute for Management Development in Lausanne, Switzerland and was given the privilege to interview LEGO’s management team. Breen has co-authored and published many other business management books including this one. The book is published by Crown Business and has 320 pages.

LEGO CUUSOO Jurassic Park: Triceratops Encounter

August 16, 2013 /

The BrickQueen is back with another Jurassic Park project on LEGO CUUSOO. If you remember from yesterday, I did a post on her other JP project, the Jungle Explorer T-Rex Encounter which is quickly gaining supporters. Today, she has posted the Jurassic Park: Triceratops Encounter.

The set features the triceratops, a jeep, and the Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler minifigures. The triceratops in the project represents the dinosaur that got sick when it accidentally ate the poisonous West Indian Lilac berries.

The jeep is a replica of of JP 14 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It is a gas-powered jeep that Dr. Gerry Harding uses to drive Ellie back to the visitor’s center. The jeep features a winch cable and a spare tire on a opening door and seats four minifigures.

If you like Jurassic Park, there’s no reason not to like this project as well.

LEGO Minifigures MMO Countdown

LEGO Minifigures MMO Countdown

Last year, we reported that LEGO has teamed up with Norwegian game developer, Funcom to create a new massive multiplayer online game that will be based on the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line. Funcom has a countdown going for the LEGO Minifigures on their page and in 12 days, they will be releasing more details of the game. You can subscribe to their email list and be notified when more information is available.

LEGO Minifigures will be the second MMO game that LEGO releases with the first being the popular but failed LEGO Universe MMO and will be available for PC and Mac sometime in 2014. Players will be able to use a wide range of minifigures from the Collectible Minifigures line and each character will have their own set of abilities. Players take part in quests and PvP battles to unlock power bricks to increase their minifigure’s abilities. Looking at some of the screenshots below, the game looks like it will bring back some of LEGO Universe. In addition to playing on PCs, the game will have the ability to tie-in with mobile devices including Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile. We’ll do another post when details emerge from Funcom in a few weeks.

Update: Details have been revealed.
