June 5, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

A few days ago, LEGO released one of the more anticipated LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets for the summer 2015 wave, the Ant-Man Final Battle (76039). This set is currently the only set that is being produced for the upcoming Ant-Man movie that will be released in July. The set contains 183 pieces and retails for $19.99. There are some discrepencies right now with the set on Shop@Home regarding the piece count being at 195. The contents of the box includes two numbered bags, an instruction booklet, a comic book, and a sticker sheet.

LEGO Store June 2015 Monthly Mini Build Event Parrot (40131) Review

June 2, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today was the last LEGO Monthly Mini Build at its current state. If you haven’t heard yet, the event will be a little different starting in July with the upcoming changes. For June, we have the Parrot (40131) which consists of 55 pieces.

LEGO June 2015 Monthly Mini Build Parrot (40131)

In my opinion, the past two months LEGO has really hit homeruns with their Monthly Mini Builds with last month being the Koala (40131) and this month with the Parrot. The build is pretty satisfying by starting at the body and moving up to the head and finishing with the wings. The colors are very vibrant much to what a real parrot looks like. The wings are poseable and the tail can move up and down.

Overall, the Parrot (40130) is a great build for June. As I mentioned before, you are now required to register your child or whoever’s attending to be able to attend July’s Monthly Mini Build. If you don’t, you will be out of luck as only who have registered will be able to attend. Plus, you can’t take the build when you receive it. You’ll have to build it there along with the other participants. If you signed up and don’t attend, then you will lose out and won’t be able to receive the build. Registration lasts until the day before the event but I wouldn’t wait to sign up because most likely there won’t be any more spots open by then.

LEGO City Toys R Us Truck (7848) Review

May 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Since today is Thursday, I decided to do a Throwback Thursday review of a fairly older set. It’s something that close to me since technically I’m currently working for the company part-time. This set is the licensed LEGO City Toy R Us Truck (7848) which was first released back in 2010. The set was a Toys R Us exclusive and sold for $44.99 but I managed to get it at a pretty decent price and I couldn’t pass it up. The set contains 356 pieces and comes with two instruction booklets.

LEGO Subscription Box – BrickSwag April/May 2015 Review

May 27, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The end of April was pretty busy for me as I flew out to attend Philly Brick Fest. While I was there, I received the Brick Builders Club subscription box for April but didn’t get a chance to review it. Today I received the May 2015 box and instead of doing two separate posts for April and May, I might as well combine them into one post. In short, the April box consisted of the exclusive t-shirt, a LEGO Legends of Chima Nest Dive (70105) Speedorz set, five Funky Fig cards, a poster, a 2×3 red #BrickSwag brick, and the Build magazine.

In our third review of the LEGO City Space sub-theme sets, we have the Training Jet Transporter (60079). The set contains 448 pieces and retails for $49.99 which comes out to about a $0.11/piece ratio. The contents of the box include five numbered bags, three instruction booklets, a sticker sheet, and a loose chassis piece for the trailer.

LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275) Polybag Review

May 25, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype Polybag (30275)

As I mentioned in a previous post, Toys R Us is running a weekly promotion for a free LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275) polybag with a purchase of any LEGO purchase of $30 or more. I decided to take a stroll to my local store to see if there were any other new sets available and luckily I found a new set which I’ll be reviewing later. There was also an endcap rack full of the polybags which you can also purchase individually for $3.99.

The TIE Advanced Prototype has 47 pieces and is a really simple build. There are two parts to the ship, the top and bottom part which are almost the same build with some slight differences at the last part of each side. Both sides are attached at the middle with a TECHNIC axle.

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars TIE Advanced Prototype (30275) polybag is pretty bland and a somewhat boring build however it does have a similar look to the larger 75082 set. Again, it is available at Toys R Us for $3.99 each or you can get it, as of this writing, as part of their weekly promo.
