  • LEGO Haunted House Revealed

    LEGO Haunted House Revealed

    LEGO announced a new set today, 10273 Haunted House. This is part of the “LEGO Fairgrounds” line and is one of those freefall kind of rides complete with working lift. Based on the provided description, you can add Powered Up accessories to automate and… uh, power up the set. I guess you’ll have to use a mobile app to control it all. Not sure how I feel about that. It’s a departure from previous Fairground entries where you can just add some motors and let them run on their own. But now I have to, like, pay attention and press buttons?

    LEGO’s next release in the Fairground line should be like 500 minifigures and stanchions to really simulate what it’s like going to a theme park.

    This is going to be one hot product given how their last Haunted House, 10228 Haunted Mansion from the Monster Fighters line, did. It went out of production sooner than people were anticipating and the aftermarket prices blew up. So for those people who might have missed out on that one, this will be a welcome substitute.

    The Haunted House is about 1,200 pieces bigger at a whopping 3,231 pieces but comes with a matching hefty price tag: $249.99 USD (£209.99/ €229,99). 10273 Haunted House will be available to order for VIP Early Access starting on May 20. Non VIP members can order starting June 1.

    LEGO sent some pictures for 10273 Haunted House; those are below as well as the press release below that.

    REPARE TO BE SPOOKED WITH THE BRAND-NEW LEGO® HAUNTED HOUSE SET

    The LEGO Group has announced the LEGO Haunted House, a hair-raising new fairground build for adult thrill-seekers – available from 20th May from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores

    [13th May 2020] Gear up for a spooky ride and bring to life the ultimate ghostly fairground experience, with the brand-new LEGO® Haunted House set. This latest addition to the LEGO Fairground collection is jam-packed with exciting features to surprise and entertain even the bravest of thrill-seekers.

    Modelled on Manor Von Barron, the spooky home of one of the world’s greatest villains – Samuel Von Barron, the new LEGO® Haunted House model is full to the brim with spine-tingling details. Its clever design features a fully functional free-fall ride with automatic doors at the top of the tower, giving brave riders a glimpse of the thrilling plummet to come, as well as intricate ghoulish details such as haunted doors and a cursed painting to warn off any trespassers.

    To enhance the spooky experience even further and unlock special features, such as a moving elevator, fans can also add LEGO Powered Up components (available separately) and control and amplify the set as they build via LEGO’s Powered Up app.

    The 3,231-piece LEGO® Haunted House model not only makes an impressive and creepy display piece, standing at over 26.5” (68cm) high, 9” (25cm) wide and 9” (25cm) deep, but also gives fans the chance to get hands-on and immerse themselves in the ghostly world. LEGO builders can open the model’s exterior and enter the ultimate haunted house to discover the features hidden inside – revealing Von Barron’s extensive collection of stolen artefacts which nod to LEGO brick sets of the past, including the Organ of Catarino and the Orb of OGEL.

    This brand-new set has been designed specifically with adults in mind – providing an immersive, creative experience for them to re-focus, re-charge and get creative, whether they’re enjoying alone or as a challenging build with friends or younger builders.

    The new LEGO® Haunted House™ construction set is the latest example of how the LEGO Group aims to inspire builders of all ages to build, rebuild and get excited by the process of creation. It’s also the first set from the LEGO Fairground Collection to feature the new stylish packaging designed to make it easier than ever for adult fans to find their new build challenge based on their individual passions.

    Addressing the new packaging, Senior Marketing Manager Anders Hellegaard Iversen said: “So many of our older builders love the Creator Expert products, as they allow them to show off their passion for the bricks. Whether it’s their favorite film moments, sport icons, travel destinations, buildings, fairgrounds or vehicles, LEGO sets help to bring these to life in brick form. That’s also why we have decided to stop using the Creator Expert branding and, instead, use the new adult-focused packaging design to make it clearer which hobbies or brand products they can relate to. We hope this will make it easier for fans to track down models they would be proud to display once completed. Of course, our product range will continue to include the same advanced-build, collectible products that guarantee hours of building enjoyment for fans.”

    The brand-new LEGO Haunted House is available to VIP members from 20th May and for remaining LEGO fans from 1st June, direct from LEGO.com and LEGO Stores.

    Today’s The Last Day For May The Fourth Deals, Mother’s Day Card Offer Also Live

    Today is May the 4th and it’s the last day to take advantage of the Double VIP points and bonus set offer. If you were on the fence about buying some sets, LEGO Shop@Home has an additional concurrent promotion to sweeten the deal.

    This Mother’s Day card is a free GWP with $40 worth of product. The box image is a bit misleading. The thing the big hand is holding is not a card, it’s a sticker that gets applied to the inside of the card. The promo image on the landing page is a bit better:

    This set is free with $40 purchase. It’s a pretty low threshold and easily achievable if you’re aiming for the 40407 Death Star II Battle set. That one requires $75 worth of LEGO Star Wars sets before you get it for free.

    LEGO’s May the Fourth deals end tonight at 11:59pm EST. The Mother’s Day Card promo is good until 11:59pm EST May 10th, or while supplies last. ‘

    Amazon Selling CMF Series 20 With 31% Discount

    Amazon is selling the newly released Series 20 of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures line for $3.44, a 31% discount from the now higher normal price of $4.99. Now before you think this is a third-party offering where the seller is just selling off extras of the less-desirable figures, these are shipped and sold by Amazon. The only drawback is that there is a limit of 3. I know. I wonder if you can place multiple orders. ‘Cause like, who’s really checking? If you have Prime, they’ll ship for free. And if you don’t, you could use these to pad an order to reach the free shipping threshold. Coupled with a bunch of other things on sale, it’s an opportunity to save some green on buying some plastic.

  • The Wrong Team Won LEGO Masters

    The Wrong Team Won LEGO Masters

    Competition shows are inherently flawed for a number of reasons. For one, it’s a TV show and as much as the networks want you to believe it’s “reality” TV, you can bet there is a fair amount of direction and editing going on to tell a certain narrative. Second, it’s a judged competition and that in and of itself is inherently biased, flawed, and adds to if not dictates entirely the story they want to sell you. LEGO Masters isn’t any different and the only thing I learned watching the entire season is that nothing else matters except the narrative.

    First off, let’s get the contestants out of the way. I didn’t care who won the finale as I didn’t have a horse in this race or among the entire field. I’ve never heard of a single one of them before the show and I doubt I’ll hear about any of them after either. So as far as I’m concerned, they all started at the same baseline skill level. (I’ve heard stories about the casting process which could fill a whole other post but I won’t get into that here) As the shows went on and teams were eliminated or surprise-saved from being eliminated, I had a general idea of who would end up winning the competition, but we’ll get back to that. I tend not to remember their names and prefer to give them nicknames and work backwards to their names, a tip I learned from the greatest regional manager of Scranton, PA, Michael Scott. These were the three teams that survived the previous round: Mark and Boone, ‘The Brothers Beard’, builders from Portland who both had beards; Sam and Jessica, can’t really call them what I want to so ‘The Artists’ it is, they were paired up for the show; and finally Tyler and Amy, ‘The Married Ones’, because they’re married.

    The final build didn’t have a theme, so it was best MOC wins and they each had an hour to plan and 24 hours to execute. The three builds were “Artopia” by The Brothers Beard, The Peacock and the Monkey by The Artists, and Treasure of the Griffin by The Married Ones.

    The Brothers Beard made “Artopia”, basically a skyscraper that had a bunch of LEGO minifigs who turn something dingy into an artists’ utopia. Each floor had a vignette of some theme. There was also a “play” function where you inserted a LEGO built paint brush into a “bucket” and it would rotate some panels that were near the base of the building. The Brothers Beard were definitely in their wheelhouse building this, but there wasn’t anything “amazing” about it. Personally, it was the biggest “meh” for me of the three builds. Would it be fun to play with all the minifigures and display them in amusing ways? Yes, but that’s about it. Out of the three final MOC’s, the skyscraper was the largest but in the wise words of Yoda, “Size matters not.” It was just a fun gigantic playset. It lacked any ingenuity or creative use of LEGO. Without a doubt, I would have slotted them in the third spot. In reality they ended up finishing second.

    The Peacock & The Monkey by The Artists easily had the biggest wow factor for me. They built a peacock with a huge plume of feathers and there was a cheeky monkey hiding behind it plucking feathers to make something of the feather. The creativity to build a fairly large peacock and make it stand out was very impressive to me. It was an extremely creative build and visually beautiful. The story part of it might have been the weakest part of the build, but it’s a very minor quibble. After all LEGO Masters is supposed to be a creative building competition and not a creative writing competition. The monkey was pretty cute and I loved the little detail that the table legs were made of bananas. Little touches like that really stood out, and goes to show how that The Artists gave equal attention to all details large and small. It didn’t have any moving parts and maybe some were bummed about it. It was an artistically beautiful build that required some creative building techniques and parts usage. It was the only build that transcended from a pile of LEGO elements into an artistic sculpture. Personally, it was my favorite build and I think they should have won, but they ended up finishing third.

    Lastly The Married Ones built a griffin perched atop a medieval tower that had a giant lizard climbing on the side trying to eat the baby griffins. The griffin had motorized wings that would allow it to flap. The griffin was well done, but it looked really small on top of the tower. The lizard that was climbing the tower dwarfed the griffin. I forgot there were even baby griffins until the final viewing of the build. It looked busy, but you got the story. It was basically Bart Jr. or Chirpy Boy (take your pick as there was only one lizard) trying to eat some hatchlings. This build felt like it had a fun factor and was artistically creative too. The entire build was pretty impressive in some ways but not in others, and it still wasn’t enough to beat the wow factor that the Peacock and Monkey had. My biggest problem with it is that it resembled their storyland build from earlier in the season with the medieval setting. This would have finished second for me, but The Married Ones took the whole kit and caboodle claiming the trophy and $100k grand prize.

    Before the finale began, I thought The Brothers Beard were gonna take first place, followed by The Married Ones and then The Artists. I can imagine most felt the same based on talent and builds seen throughout the season. But did The Married Ones deserve the win? Was the fix in with their overall “story”? The Married Ones had announced they were expecting their first baby an episode or two before the finale. It was an “aw, good for them” moment. But did this bit of information add to their appeal for them to win the whole event? I mean wasn’t that just a perfect made-for-TV moment? “The expecting couple just won $100k! What a great way to start a family! Isn’t that just precious??” Some are upset that they shouldn’t have even been there like Dante at the Quick Stop. And for those curious as to why they shouldn’t have been in the finale, the previous Star Wars episode had a fake-out at the end: The Brothers Beard won the final build and no one was be eliminated. But if they were to eliminate a team, the judges said The Married Ones would have gotten the boot as they finished behind the artists. Was that manufactured or had it always been the plan to allow three teams to go to the finale. The UK and Australian version of Lego Masters had three teams in the finale too. Not sure if they did a similar fake-out, but it isn’t unprecedented to have three in the finale.

    The Brothers Beard’s MOC had the “fun” factor but like I was saying earlier, other than size there really wasn’t anything really impressive about it. Give any 9-year-old kid an unlimited parts library and they could probably build the same thing. The Artists had the “wow” factor and built something that looked like it came from LEGO’s own in-house model shop. The Married Ones had a “funow” MOC, a combination of both “fun” and “wow” and maybe that’s why the judges went with them. It was both artistic and creative, but for me it looked like any other Castle-themed tower you would see at any LEGO AFOL convention. The only reason The Married Ones won was because it was a feel good story with a newborn on the way. The narrative was decided in the previous episode and despite another narrative taking shape from the beginning, the baby story won out. I mean, who doesn’t love an underdog team, The Artists, coming from the bottom two in the first show to walk away with the trophy beating two powerhouse teams? Fox, LEGO, and the judges sure don’t.

  • LEGO Reveals Dom’s Dodge Charger From Fast and Furious License

    LEGO Reveals Dom’s Dodge Charger From Fast and Furious License

    Announced weeks ago prior to Toy Fair, LEGO is finally showing off the first set based on the Fast and Furious license, and it’s Dom’s Dodge Charger.

    Here’s a screen grab of the source material:

    I assume it’s the correct source material. The image was lifted from Fast and Furious wiki so I assume it’s correct. I mean, how many 1970 Dodge Chargers could there be in the franchise? Anyway, I don’t think the medium translates the source material well. It’s passable but I equate it to the Aston Martin model level of execution.

    What does that giant knob in the back do? Is it for steering?

    Using Technic panels does introduce a subtle curve that isn’t achievable with rigid right-angle bricks. But it comes with a drawback of having these unsightly holes and attachment points. Give and take.

    You can pop the hood open for to tinker with the V8 engine. The doors and trunk pop open for additional access to the insides. Here you can see the how the door vent windows were done, which is also not great.

    I think if a clear plastic element was in place for the door windows, and a sticker was used to draw the lines of the vent window, that would have gone a long way to add the smaller details without making these kinds of concessions. I get that the there are no such elements that are the exact shape of the windows a model like this would require, but this is the precise issue where the medium is showing it’s limitations. If you squint at it, the compromises are less distinct and the model works better, but you shouldn’t have to do that on a hundred dollar model. As with all LEGO sets based on real life cars, the larger the set is, the better the final model out of the box is. Had Dom’s charger been at a higher price point wiith a matching piece count, then I’d probably have less to complain about.

    Yep, 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger will cost $99.99. You can pre-order it right now directly from LEGO Shop@Home with an expected ship date in late April.

    Official 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger Press Release

    LEGO® TECHNIC™ GOES FULL THROTTLE WITH DOM’S DODGE CHARGER SET FROM THE FAST & FURIOUS FRANCHISE

     30 March 2020, Billund: Muscle car lovers and Fast & Furious fans are getting set for the ultimate thrill. Today, the LEGO Group and Universal Brand Development revealed the first LEGO set inspired by the high-octane, global blockbuster franchise: the awesome LEGO® Technic™ Dom’s Dodge Charger. The 1,077-piece replica of fearless street racer Dominic Toretto’s legendary 1970 Dodge Charger R/T will provide an exciting new building challenge as fans gear up for the latest instalment in the Fast saga – F9, which hits theatres around the world beginning in April 2021.

    But the fun doesn’t stop once the chequered flag comes down. Once the build is complete, fans can try out Dom’s cool stunts and recreate the daring high-speed chases from the Fast & Furious movies with the model. And when the streets need a rest, the model can be proudly displayed in its famous wheel-stand position.

    The authentic replica of Dom’s all-time favourite car is packed with the same realistic details seen in the films. Just like the full-size version, the hood of the LEGO® Technic™ Dom’s Dodge Charger pops open to reveal the iconic V8 engine. Fans can feel like they’re in the garage with Dom fixing up his latest project as they build moving pistons, double wishbone suspension, a wheelie bar to show off the car’s best moves and (of course) put the nitro bottles in the trunk. If things get too hot, there’s a fire extinguisher in the cockpit too.

    Inspired by the action-packed scenes from the Fast saga, the 1:13 scale LEGO® Technic™ Dom’s Dodge Charger is designed for builders aged 10+. The set will be available to pre-order from 30 March from LEGO.com and to buy globally from 27 April 2020.

    Samuel Tacchi, designer of LEGO® Technic™ Dom’s Dodge Charger, said: “The high-octane action of the Fast & Furious franchise has captured the hearts and imaginations of petrol-heads the world over. We want to inspire people of all ages to explore their creativity through building whatever their passion is, and we know fans of LEGO® Technic™ and the blockbuster franchise love cool cars and adrenaline-fuelled fun. Brought together by that same passion, we worked really closely with the Universal team to bring Dom’s Dodge Charger to life in the most minute detail to inspire Fast & Furious fans and LEGO® Technic™ builders around the world.”

    Shop@Home Easter Promos Are Now Live, Double VIP Points Too

    I was just slightly off on my predictions for the LEGO Shop@Home Easter promos.

    First up is the 30550 Easter Bunny polybag. I thought the threshold would be $35, but it’s only $30 instead.

    Next is the buildable Easter Egg, 40371. You’ll only need to get $50 worth of sets to score this one for free.

    Both promos are set to end on 11:59pm EST April 13th, 2020 or while supplies last and they’ll be automatically added to your cart once you reach the appropriate thresholds.But you’ll want to act sooner rather than later because Shop@Home is running a Double VIP points promotion concurrently on every set you buy. That promotion ends on on March 29th.

    Minifigure Madness Is The Only March Tournament That’s Happening Right Now

    Missing March Madness? I know I am. But in lieu of that, The LEGO Group is hosting a slightly different tournament over on their twitter account:

    These are minifigs plucked from the various CMF lines divided up into four categories aka ‘regions’ for you MM vets. My favorite category name has got to be sportsball. You can follow along on LEGO’s twitter thread over. There’s 8 hours left to vote in round one as of this writing.

    You know where I’ll be piling my votes: Galaxy Patrol way over in the Cosmos region. If anything, this will be entertaining while we’re all stuck inside our homes.

  • The Newest LEGO Shop@Home Promos

    The Newest LEGO Shop@Home Promos

    I got my promo sample pack the other day and in it were some current and upcoming promotions.

    LEGO DOTS Mini Frame

    I don’t get DOTS. I may not be the target audience though. All I know is that it’s a bunch of little tile pieces in a very wide assortment of colors. This polybag is free with $35 purchase or more.

    Easter Bunny Polybag Promo

    Did you see this polybag hanging off the pegs at Target and think to yourself, “If there was only some way to get this for free as a GWP from LEGO Shop@Home?” Well think no more because your prayers have been answered. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the promo isn’t live yet. I’d take the DOTS Mini Frame promo as a gauge though and think it’ll be free with a purchase of about $35 or more.

    Buildable Easter Egg Promo

    Like the Easter Bunny promo, this one isn’t live yet either. But it’s a nice box with what looks like a ton o fplates that make up the egg and little chick as well as decorative DOTS-like elements. I’m gonna guess you’ll need to buy around $99 to nab this one for free. Easter isn’t until April 12th this year, so these promos should be live soon.

  • Things To Do While On Lockdown

    Things To Do While On Lockdown

    Well, we’re on lockdown over here at FBTB headquarters and our satellite offices are going to be hunkering down as well. With retail stores shutting down temporarily you’re gonna be stuck at home whether you want to or not. But the good news is, delivery services are still operating so if you can buy it online, you’ll be able to get it in your hands. And now with digital delivery for video games, it makes it even easier to get some new games delivered quickly without leaving your house. I compiled a list on a couple of things me and my family will be doing and thought I’d share them.

    Board Games

    Pandemic


    Board games have come a long way since I was a kid, let me tell you. And Pandemic just might be the perfect game right now. I suggested it before because it was on sale. It’s gone from Amazon but Walmart has it still at MSRP of $39.00. Sale or not, still a great game and worth it at full price IMO. I love this game so much, I even splurged on the 10th Anniversary Edition.

    Gloomhaven

    I recently got into board games and one of the first ones I got was Gloomhaven. I honestly had no idea what I was in for. The learning curve was tough, the rulebook never left my hands because I kept having to look things up, but once me and my fellow Gloomhaveners got the hang of it, things are a lot smoother now and SO much fun. Gloomhaven is a  cooperative, fantasy, dungeon-crawling game from 1-4 players playing a campaign over multiple scenarios. Each player chooses a character to start, and more characters can be unlocked as you progress the story. It’s BoardGameGeek‘s top ranked game overall currently so you know it’s gotta be good. It’s not without its flaws but the positives greatly out-weigh any of the negatives. It’s a bit pricey: $149.99 MSRP but Amazon has it discounted down to $99.54! I bought it a full price and was well worth the money.

    Video Games

    There’s a couple of games I’m hoping to crack into during lockdown. First thing’s first though, is to finish The Last of Us (I’m playing through on Grounded mode and it’s pretty brutal) and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But once those are done, here’s what I got lined up:

    The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Switch)

    This one should be a quick 8-10 hour game. Doesn’t seem like much by today’s standards, but who says bigger is better? The physical version is on sale for $49.00 right now from Amazon. If you’re a digital download guy, that one’s full price.

    Castlevania Requiem: Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood (PS4)

    I bought this partly because it was half off a year and a half ago and mostly because of nostalgia. I’m hoping Symphony holds up as well as I remember it. It’s normally $19.99 but it’s on sale for $9.99 until the 18th. If you like platformers or the classic Metroidvania style of games, Symphony of the Night deserves to be in your library. There’s a reason why the genre is named after the series and Symphony is one of the greatest games of all time.

    Uncharted 1/2/3/4/Lost Legacy (PS4)

    I’ve heard great things about the Uncharted series. There’s the Collection, which compiles 1,2 and 3, and then 4 and Lost Legacy are standalone games. These will be my next triple-A games to take on after Last of Us.

    Ori and the Blind Forest

    The sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, just came out on Xbox reminding me of this game. I’m hoping it will eventually make it’s way to the Switch. It’s available via digital download only ($19.99 on Amazon) which is just fine and perfect for the Switch.

    And of course, I’ll be popping into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate every once in awhile to get my fight on.

    These are just a sampling. I have a ton of games in my backlog I still need to try and play. At some point though, when do I give up? Probably when the next shiny thing comes along to grab my attention.

    LEGO

    This should go without saying but I guess I’m gonna say it anyway to fill up this section. LEGO would be a great to pass the time if you want to just unplug and exercise the left side of your brain. Be it making MOC’s, building sets, or, in my case, writing reviews. I have a few already built or lined up and this would be a good time for me to get some reviews done.

    Streaming

    And if after all that, I still have time leftover, I can get back into catching up on the MCU and The Clone Wars on Disney+, not to mention all the other TV shows I want to binge on Netflix, HBO, etc, etc.

    One thing that this post is reminding me of. There is no shortage of things I want to do.

    And because the government says I have to do this, just a reminder if you buy anything after clicking through any of the links in this article, FBTB may make a small commission. We always appreciate the support you give, no matter how small. Thank you.
