February 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

For our second LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron set review of this wave, we have the Attack on Avengers Tower (76038). The set has 515 pieces and retails for $59.99, around a $0.12/piece ratio. I purchased this set when it was available on Amazon a few days ago but the link has since been taken down. The box contains four numbered bags, two large instruction booklets, a sticker sheet, and a comic.

LEGO Star Wars Hoth Han Solo Minifigure Polybag (5001621) Review

February 7, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today we have a review of an item that’s been released before but could be new for people who missed it two years ago and it’s the LEGO Star Wars Hoth Han Solo (5001621) minifigure polybag. As mentioned before, this particular minifigure was available two years ago during as a May the Fourth exclusive with a LEGO Star Wars purchase of $75 or more. I guess LEGO still has a lot of these minifigures left over because they brought it back as a February 2015 promotion. If you received a 2015 LEGO Wall Calendar either in November or December, there is a coupon that allows you to get the Hoth Han Solo minifigure with any LEGO Star Wars purchase this month.

This version of Hoth Han Solo has him wearing the original brown parka. There’s not much to it but it does have some details like the rank insignia, scarf and belt. The back of the torso also continues the printing from the front. There is also a removable hood that you can replace with Han’s brown hair. The head is also double-sided with one side having printing of him wearing the face mask and goggles.

If you’re an old school Star Wars fan, you’ve probably know about the brown vs. blue controversy about which color of the parka Han was wearing in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. From what I’ve gathered, the parka was originally brown but the bluish lighting of the Echo Base made the blue version ingrained in our memories. … Continue

LEGO Store February 2015 Monthly Mini Build Event Space Shuttle (40127) Review

February 3, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

Today is the first Tuesday of the month and that means the LEGO Monthly Mini Build was held today. For February 2015, the build is a Space Shuttle (40127). This one was a pretty popular one because the line for it literally wrapped around the walkway. If you’ve been to Fashion Valley before, the line ended up at the entrance of Bloomingdale’s and eventually Forever 21.

The build itself consists of 39 pieces and it has a pretty cool look to it. The only thing that I didn’t like much about it is the bottom of the front of the shuttle. It kind of looks too blocky for my taste. However, the back of it has a nice look. Although it’s a fairly simple build, it has nice overall appearance to it.

Next month’s Monthly Mini Build will be a little Robot which you can check out on the March 2015 Store Calendar. As always, it was nice to see the regulars there and chatting it up with them.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 13 (71008) Review

January 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

A new year and a new wave of LEGO Collectible Minifigure has been released, Series 13 (71008). The packaging for this series is more of a lime green color. Like with recent minifigures, they will retail for $3.99 each and there are 16 to collect.

Like with Series 12, Series 13 will be collaborating with the LEGO Minifigures Online video game where you can unlock the corresponding minifigure in-game but that’s not all. In one of our previous posts, we also talked about the “Collect & Win” thing LEGO has going with Series 13. Not only will you be able to unlock a character, there’s also a chance to win in game currency with free diamonds, looting Super Chests, 3 days of membership, or gaining Stars faster. If you enter your email, you can also try your luck to win some LEGO sets straight from the company. The more codes you enter, the more chances there are to win.

As with previous the past couple of series of minifigures I’ve been collecting, I’ve been using the feeling method to find the correct minifigures. You can read more about it on our feel guide post.

LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure Polybag (5001622) Review

January 12, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today we have a new review for a fairly older product. Way back in September of 2013, we reported on a new LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure (5001622) polybag that was given out with Shop@Home orders around that time. Now fast forward to the present time. If you made a $75 purchase last November or December, you would’ve received a free LEGO 2015 Wall Calendar which also included coupons to redeem this year for previously exclusive minifigures. For January, you can redeem the LEGO Shop Minifigure with any purchase.

The minifigure is the same one that you see prominently displayed on LEGO Shop@Home. He wears a black long-sleeved shirt with grey stripes across the arms and waist. He also has a name badge printing as well. The legs are plain black. For the head, he has a smiling expression. The reddish brown hair is spiky and is similar to the Sleepyhead from the Series 6 Collectible Minifigures (8827). What’s different about this promotional minifigure polybag from others is that it also includes a red 2×4 brick. This brick represents the big one that you usually see standing at LEGO Brand Stores.

Overall, the LEGO Shop Employee Minifigure (5001622) is a nice promotional polybag for both when it showed up unexpectedly with orders back in 2013 as well as now with the coupon. It makes a great minifigure if you’re making a LEGO Store MOC. If you missed out on it or aren’t able to get one because you don’t have the coupon from the 2015 Wall … Continue
