  • Star Wars Early Summer Wave, Porsche 911 GT3 RS Now Available?

    Star Wars Early Summer Wave, Porsche 911 GT3 RS Now Available?

    These should have gone on sale about an hour ago as of this posting, but methinks there’s a glitch somewhere because they usually go on sale at 12 midnight EDT/9:00pm PDT, but they are still marked “Coming Soon” and some of the descriptions above the price have been replaced with the word “false”. But hopefully this will be fixed in the morning by the time most of you would be reading this.

    The early summer wave of Star Wars sets should be on sale, as well as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS

  • Technic Porsche 911 Designer Interviews and Bios

    Technic Porsche 911 Designer Interviews and Bios

    Along with the usual assets that LEGO delivered for the new 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS set, they included bios and a short interview with Senior Design Manger, LEGO Technic Andrew Woodman and Senior Designer, LEGO Technic Uwe Wabra. The most revelatory piece of information to come out of the interview is that the Porsche set is the first in a new line of Technic vehicles. While there have been other highly detailed licensed Technic sets before, there is more than one reference of this set being “the first”.

    LEGO Announces Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS

    LEGO pulled the wraps off of their newest set, 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This is a large scale Technic set weighing in at 2,704 pieces. Each set will come with a unique serial number that will be laser engraved on a 1×4 tile. This number can be used to unlock online content. The design team took things a step further creating a unique experience from the moment you open the box. There are a couple of new elements to this set, including a new rim design exclusive to this set. I would highly encourage you to take a few minutes and watch the designer video as it shows off a lot of the details of the set.

    42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will be released on June 1, 2016 for $299.99

  • Technic Toy Fair Coverage

    This will be our last set uploaded from New York. City, Chima, Creator and Hero Factory will have to wait until we get back to the west coast (unless Ace decides to tackle any of that in flight). The newest iterations of the ubiquitous Technic race car, monster truck, and ATVs that seem to be staples of the line over the years, and a pair of nice large scale trucks with pneumatics and power functions.
