I’ve done a review of the Caterham and it is arguably one of the best LEGO Ideas sets to be released so far. With the sale going on, it’s worth picking up even more. We’re getting down towards the end of The LEGO Batman Movie set reviews and the penultimate set I’ll be reviewing of the initial wave is the Batcave Break-In (70909). The set has 1,047 pieces and retails for $99.99. There are eight numbered bags, the instruction booklet, and a decent sized sticker sheet packed in the box. Interested in LEGO Art?

If you haven’t seen it yet, there’s going to be a cool little set that will be coming out for aspiring filmmakers called Movie Maker Set (853650) that is themed around The LEGO Batman Movie. The set has 152 pieces and includes a Batman minifigure, parts to build a stand for your smartphone, as well as a background scene. The set is good for making your own stop-motion videos. The Movie Maker Set (853650) is already available in Europe and Asia but there’s no word on the availability here in North America.
The LEGO Batman Movie: The Making of the Movie is now available and DK has sent over a copy of the book. I already purchased my own copy from Amazon and I’ll be doing a review on it probably in the next week or so to give people some time to watch the movie if they haven’t yet since there are spoilers. For this extra copy, I’ll be doing a giveaway for it for you readers. There’s nothing special you have to do, just follow the instructions below. The contest will run for two weeks and the deadline to enter is March 11, 2017 and one winner will be chosen. This will be a USA only contest. The Red Arrows Hawk by M4 CUS and RAFRed10 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 on LEGO Ideas. It is based on the BAE Systems Hawk T1 aircraft that flies for the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team. The plane also has functioning features such as a retractable undercarriage and opening cockpit canopy. There’s also a pilot and engineer minifigures in their respective red and blue suits.
The project now joins The Blues Mobile, SEGA Classic Arcade Machines, and Dungeon Master as the projects to reach the First 2017 Review Stage. There’s a new LEGO Ninjago Accessory Pack (853687) that will be coming out. Like with other accessory packs that have been released so far by LEGO, this pack has a couple of minifigures, including Skylor, as well as weapons and hair pieces as well. What’s the most interesting for me is the 1×1 round printed tile of a sushi that is included which is fairly rare piece. The LEGO Ninjago Accessory Pack (853687) will retail for $14.99 and word has it that it is already showing up at LEGO Brand Stores. It’s not on [email protected] yet but I suspect it will be at the beginning of March.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Boys clothing lego ninjago shirt for boy 2015 new fashion high quality summer tops short sleeve t shirt (2 pieces or more) This product can't be shipped to the selected region.

Lego Designer Mark Stafford recently took to Reddit to offer some insight on what went wrong in the first place and how the Danish toy company turned it around. The troubles, he said, involved bad management and expensive and unpopular new products. The LEGO company at that stage had no idea how much it cost to manufacture the majority of their bricks, they had no idea how much certain sets made. The most shocking finding was about sets that included the LEGO micro-motor and fiber-optic kits — in both cases it cost LEGO more to source these parts then the whole set was being sold for — everyone of these sets was a massive loss leader and no one actually knew. This was combined with a decision to ‘retire’ a large number of the LEGO Designers who had created the sets from the late 70′s through the 80′s and into the 90′s and replace them with 30 ‘innovators’ who were the top graduates from the best design colleges around Europe. Unfortunately, though great designers they knew little specifically about toy design and less about LEGO building.
The number of parts climbed rapidly from 6000 to over 12,000 causing a nightmare of logistics and storage and a huge amount of infrastructure expansion for no gain in sales. Products like Znap, Primo, Scala and worst; Galidor all came out of this period. Let’s take a closer look at those new products that almost led to disaster. Lego Technic Fiber Optic Multi Set (1996) The “fiber optics” in this this Technic kit are actually clear plastic tubes that connect to a battery-operated LED-light pack. These specialized parts cost more to produce than the entire set was being sold for. The Znap line was an obvious reaction to K’Nex, an American construction toy company that was founded in 1993. Like those of K’Nex, Znap pieces were more elaborate than traditional Lego bricks, and could allow for more architectural creations, like bridges. Ultimately, Znap proved to be an inferior competitor and failed to catch on. To make matters worse, Lego even used those highly unprofitable Technic motors in some of the sets.
Lego’s Duplo line is intended for children 1-5 years old and has been around since 1975 (barring a couple brief absences). The Primo offshoot was intended for babies too young to even play with regular Duplo bricks. And unlike Duplo pieces, they were not compatible with regular Lego pieces. Primo was succeeded by Lego Baby, which was phased out in 2005. The niche market was simply not profitable for the company. For some reason, Lego decided to revive an obscure line from ’79 targeted at young girls. The one thing that kept the Scala doll line remotely attached to the Lego brand was the use of some bricks in the play sets, and from ’97-’98, the brick studs were in flower-shapes incompatible with other Lego sets. Stafford considers the Galidor line to be Lego’s most heinous offense. Based on a kid’s show of the same name, the line was basically an action figure series with awkward features like interchangeable arms for characters. Each set in the line featured specialized pieces, which were expensive to produce and in practically no way resembled a Lego product.
