2012 Sets out Early!

Lego.com has decided to bring 2012 LEGO sets out early. These sets can only be purchased online, not at a store, until they come in in January. Eight LEGO city sets, with hillbillies, cops, and angry bears. If any of you have seen the movie Jurassic Park,  you'll be glad to hear (or not) that dinosaurs are back in two new sets. These sets will soon hit stores in 2012! 

New Winter Sets!

The holidays are coming, and these Santa sets are released for the winter coming in. The winter sets are Mini Santa set, Holiday Stocking, and the  Christmas Tree. The mini Santa set is 72 pieces, the Holiday stocking is 76 pieces, and the Christmas tree is 77 pieces. These winter sets will last til' the season ends, which won't last long!

List of LEGO Sets About to Come out!

Many new sets about to be released from different series. One new set from Star Wars, is the set 9491 Geonosis Cannon, aside from having four minifgures and a cool looking set, not too much like how many pieces it has, also the price is unknown to the public. Next two sets from Racers set 9094 Star Striker, and 9095 Nitro Preadator, aren't exactly my "type" of set. Then we have quite a few Ninjago sets seven in fact, and here they are: Destiny's Bounty featuring a great detailed warship, Fangpyre Truck Ambush with a snakish-car-thing, I'm actually not sure which it is, Cole's Tread Assault with a cool black tank, Rattlecopter with an intricate design, Jay's Storm Fighter with an awesome blue plane, Kai's Blade Cycle with and last but not least, the Venomari Shrine with many cool snakes.  

New LEGO Set 4184 Black Pearl!

Cool new LEGO set for Pirates of the Caribbean collectors. This set is 804 pieces, and 6 minifigures, and has some very interesting details, including gold widows, lanterns, a map room, and a unique masthead. This looks great for Pirates of the Caribbean collectors, I myself enjoyed the movies, and these LEGO sets are a great depiction of the movies. i think this set looks extremely good, if a bit out of price range.

My Friend Has A Book Giveaway!

Hey Lego fanatics, I have a friend who is having a cool book giveaway! He has a blog about reading and reads quite frequently. Here's a link to his giveaway!

I Now Have Two Blogs!

Here's a link to my other blog. I have made another blog because I think that since I like Lego Castle so much I will have another blog about Lego Castle. In the future, I will have , maybe even more blogs, but for now, I will have two. But I will continue to post as often as I can with school, chess, and soccer in the way.

Earth Dragon Defence set 2509 is Dis-continued!

This is a great set if your a Ninjago collector. As I am not, I have not purchased this set. Still, it's too bad it was dis-continued. The set is 225 pieces, includes two minifigures, and has a gigantic earth dragon. This set is pretty cool, and has some parts that are hard or near impossible to find. 

Set Number 3848 Pirate Plank is Dis-continued

This Lego game has been discontinued by Lego.com in order to make room for the new and up-coming sets, you know what they say, "out with the old, and in with the new." Lego.com has been dis-continuing many sets this month, even though I have only posted some, due to my other activities. The Pirate Plank looked like a fun game, it's too bad they dis-continued it.

New Architecture sets!

Sorry I haven't been posting for awhile, I've had busy weeks between school and soccer. Two Architecture sets have come out in these last few days. Both I think are pretty cool sets. But as you may know that some Architecture sets get very pricey. Architecture sets are models of real life sculptures, these two are the Robie House, and the Brandenburg Gate. The Robie House is 2,276 pieces, those pieces are mostly made up of a dark red color you see on the set's roof. The Brandenburg Gate is made of 363 pieces, most of which are that sand colo, used for the walls and columns of the building.

Back to School and hop on the Bus!

School year is about to start! This Lego school bus I made took some time, but I got it done in time to share with you. This school  bus is made from over 50+ pieces, includes chairs, windows, and a moving stop sign. There are some interesting details about the bus I made, like the design of feet on the top of the bus, or the stripes down the sides of the bus. As I said before this model took some time, so I would appreciate it if I get some comments.

My New Monthly Mini-model!

My new monthly mini-model was designed to symbolize heading back to school. In the future I wish to continue my new monthly mini-models. This months mini-model is a pencil. It's 14 pieces that are common to almost anybody's LEGO bin. 1 black stick (for graphite), 1 brown cone, 7 tall yellow cylinders (the number doesn't matter much, just determines length), 2 flat grey cylinders (one before the tall grey cylinder, one after), 1 tall grey cylinder, then 2 flat orange cylinders (for the eraser).

New September Mini-model!

The new September mini-model is a scarecrow! One day each month you can learn how to build a cool Lego mini model at a near by LEGO shop, and take it home – for free! Quantities are limited and offer is good while supplies last only. A new model will be available every month and will be specially themed to that month. 

Series 5 Lego Minifigure Decoding Cheat

Okay, I'm aware most of you know about the Lego Series, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minifigures, but a smaller percentage of you know how to find out what minifigure is in the bag. Some of you might just ask a person that works there, others will take a random guess, and others just don't really care what they get. I'm about to tell you a way some people know. You have to feel what's inside the bag. You have to look with your fingers for the big or distinct pieces of the minifigure. Here's a list of how to get the right minifigure by feel.

Gladiator: He has a huge bulky helmet, but he’s also the only fig with a knife/sword. 


Evil Dwarf: The winged helmet is bulky, but so are the pieces for the Royal Guard & Gladiator, but make sure to feel the wings on the side of the helmet. The difference in the shield between the Gladiator’s is that the front of the Evil Dwarf’s is smooth.


Royal Guard: This guy should be easy because his HUGE hat. Check to feel the rifle to make sure.


Lumberjack: The only “baseball hat” in this series. His axe is easily recognizable. But be sure that you feel the attached axe head on the end, or it could be the Evil Dwarf’s axe handle.


Cave Woman: The bone is a dead giveaway, (like the pun?) the club is like the caveman's in series 2.


Detective: His hat is double billed, feel for the magnify glass to confirm.


Cleopatra: Huge wedge dress, and snake are easy to feel.


Ice Fisherman: The fish, and fishing pole are the giveaway here.


Small Clown: His bowler hat feels similar to the Detective’s hat. He also has a pie. Feel short legs with no hinge to confirm, may feel like Evil Dwarf's short legs.


Boxer: His that his boxing gloves are attached to his hands. He’s one of the toughest to find if you don’t know that small fact.


Zookeeper: I expect the monkey to be easy to feel, either that or the banana.


Graduate: He’s the only fig with a 2×2 tile and his graduation cap is what I'd use to confirm. It’s square, with 1 different feeling corner for the tassel and a little raised bump in the middle of the top.


Snowboarder Guy: Like the last two snowboarders, the snowboard gives it away.


Fitness Instructor: Big long hair, and the “boom box” feels like a brick with a handle.


Godzilla: The tail is attached on the back like a backpack, you might even need to feel for his head.


Gangster: This minifigure has the smallest part in the series, his pistol, look for that, or find his case.

Super Star Destoryer

This new set came out some days ago, but it doesn't come with many people, because the reason this set is priced so high is because of the ship. With over 3,000 pieces put together as a master Lego crafter would do it, this set weighs over 8 pounds, and is nearly 50 inches in length. Includes only five people, (much to my disappointment) Darth Vader, Admiral Piett, Dengar, Bossk, and IG-88. This set looks great, the top lifts off to reveal a command station. I would recommend this set if the price were lower.

I Recently went to Legoland!

I went on a vacation to visit my family, and I went to the Lego Store in Rockfeller Center in NY. Then later on that trip I went to Lego Land Mall of America, MN. I was looking around and saw many new things that I have posted about on this very blog. Firstly, I noticed many places in Mall of America's Legoland Series five Lego minifigures, I also had the experience of purchasing some of the new series of minifigures. I purchased three of the sixteen new minifigures, the dwarf, cavewoman, and Cleopatra. Also, I happened to see the new Star Wars Advent Calendar in the store. In my next post I hope to discuss the items in the Series 5 minifigure bags.
