LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) Review

November 18, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been 8 years since the last Spider-Man set was released from LEGO for the Spider-Man 2 movie but in 2012, the wait is over. On July 23, the Spider-Man’s Doc Ock Ambush (6873) set was introduced. The set retails for $29.99 and consists of 295 pieces which is about $0.10/piece. There are three number bags, one instruction booklet, as well as comic book #5 in the Marvel Super Heroes series. The set is loosely based on the “Me Time” episode on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon on Disney XD. One major difference between the set and the show is that Spider-Man was the one who was captured, not Iron Fist.

September 9, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Artifex Creation has created a nearly 10 minute video of the new LEGO Monster Fighters Haunted House (10228). If you have seen Artifex’s stop motions and animations before, you know that they do high quality reviews and animations of many LEGO sets. At the end of the video, they have also added their own touch to the set by adding lights to the Haunted House which you can purchase on their site.

LEGO Minecraft (21102) Sold Out (Updated)

June 25, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

If you were waiting to get the new LEGO Minecraft set in the USA, you might be out of luck. Apparently, there were only 10000 sets created and won’t be any more for a long time. A reader by the name of Dennis over on Brickset received the following email from LEGO:

Dear Dennis,

Thanks for your interest in our products.

Set#21102 CUUSOO Minecraft is sold out. There were 10,000 sets created, Dennis, and all have been sold! There are not plans to produce any more of the set. Meanwhile, we have a team of experts in Denmark whose job it is to invent new LEGO® toys every year. They spend their time trying to create new and fun toys for children of all ages. You never know though, some of the old favorites sometimes make a comeback, so keep a look out!

You might still be able to get your hands on one over in the Europe LEGO Shop@Home if you hurry. You could also find one on eBay or Amazon but at extremely high prices. Good luck!

**Update – 6/26/12** One of our readers, AlphaYoder, notes that Tim from LEGO CUUSOO gives us an update of the production run of the set.

Actually, the message Dennis received is inaccurate. We knew the LEGO Minecraft Micro World would be popular, and though we are temporarily sold out at LEGO Direct, more than 10,000 have been made, and we are planning to meet demand on this item throughout the year.

Update 2: We just got an

LEGO CUUSOO Minecraft Micro World (21102) Review

June 24, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

In 2009, Markus “Notch” Persson developed a sandbox building game called Minecraft. Like LEGO, in Minecraft you can build anything that you put your mind to with parts that are available to you. On December 5, 2011, Mojang submitted the project to LEGO CUUSOO. The project received overwhelming support and reached 10000 supporters in 48 hours and the rest is history. The Minecraft Mirco World set became the third project to be approved. The set contains 480 pieces and retails for $34.99, which comes out to be $0.07/piece. The box is shaped in a 12cm square box that resembles a block in the Minecraft world. The box contains six un-numbered bags, two instruction booklets, and an orange brick seperator. The beginning of the first booklet describes what Minecraft and LEGO CUUSOO is. Also, if you pre-ordered through J!NX in February 2012, you get a Creeper Inside sticker.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 7 – Viking Woman

June 10, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

The first female minifigure to be reviewed for Series 7 on The Brick Fan is the Viking Woman. She is dressed in the brown outfit that we typically think of when we think of a female Viking. She also has a large skirt piece for the legs. The helmet and the hair comes as one single piece. There are two horn pieces to attach to the helmet. The minifig comes with a double-side face. One side is a happy one while the other is an angry one. The accessories included with the Viking Woman are a sword and shield. To feel for this figure, look for the large skirt piece and round shield.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 7 – Tennis Ace

May 28, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The Tennis Ace is one of the more simple minifigures in Series 7. He has a white outfit and also a white bandana that only covers the front part of the face. He has a single sided face with an angry, determined expression. The spiky, blonde hair makes him stand out. His accessory includes a blue tennis racket. To feel for this minifig, the racket is a dead giveaway.
