LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game UK Pre-Order Bonus

July 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Walmart Pre-order - Iron Patriot

Our friends over at Brick Fanatics is reporting that the UK will have the Iron Patriot minifigure (30168) as a pre-order bonus for purchasing the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game from Amazon.co.uk. It looks like that you can also get the Iron Patriot with the handheld versions of the game including the Playstation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo DS. The game will be available in the UK on November 15th.

If you’re here in the States, Walmart is still offering the minifigure as the pre-order bonus but it is only available for the console system versions. Over here, the game is available on October 22nd, however, I do wish that Amazon here offered the same bonus as the on in the UK.

Barnes & Noble LEGO Architecture Studio Event

July 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Yesterday, I attended one of the many LEGO Architecture events held in Barnes & Noble stores throughout the United States. The event was to talk about aspects of the design process in architecture as well as to promote the new LEGO Architecture Studio (21050) set.

At the event, there were a couple of guest speakers that were invited to speak to the attendees: MiraCosta College Drafting & Architecture professor, David Parker, and former Master Model Designer and fellow SandLUG member, Mariann Asanuma. She also runs the popular site, Model Building Secrets so if you want to learn some juicy secrets from a LEGO Master Model Builder, I suggest heading over there and checking the site out. Kevin, Ambassador of SandLUG, was also available to show off a few his amazing modular buildings.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2013 Exclusive JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter Review

July 26, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The second set that LEGO was selling at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con was the LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2013 Exclusive JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter. Like The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End, you had to get in line for a ticket to purchase the small set. This set contains 105 pieces and retails for $40, a $0.38/piece. My set was numbered 168 of 1000. There is one unnumbered bag and one instruction booklet.

LEGO The Hobbit SDCC 2013 Exclusive Micro Scale Bag End Review

July 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

At the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, LEGO announced one of the two exclusive sets they would be selling is The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End. To get the set, you had to stand in line to get a ticket to purchase the set. I was lucky enough to get one of the last sets they had on the first day. The set consists of 130 pieces and retails for $40 which is a whopping $0.31/piece but that is expected since these are exclusive sets that you can only get at conventions. This set is number 785 of 1000. This year LEGO has decided to go with a small box instead of a tin can like last year’s exclusive. Inside the box, there is one unnumbered bag and one instruction booklet.
