It was only last week that LEGO announced the LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 2 (71024) and they will be available starting on May 1. Some of our fellow European RLFM outlets have started receiving their review copies and we now have some new details of the set. As far as the distribution of the minifigures, there are reported to be two complete sets per box and there will be some rarity in some of the minifigures. Three of them (Huey, Dewie, Louie) will only have two per box which is somewhat disappointing but at least there aren’t any that only one per box like with the Harry Potter series. The breakdown of the Series 2 Disney Collectible Minifigures are as below. 4 per box Mickey MouseMinnie MouseScrooge McDuckChipDaleAnnaElsaHadesFrozone 3 per box JafarJasmineHerculesSallyJack SkellingtonEdna Mode 2 per box HueyDewieLouie We’ll be receiving our review box this Friday so our review of...

LEGO Tower was announced for mobile platforms a few days ago which is a game similar to Tiny Towers. One of the details in the game is that there are a wide variety of floors and LEGO is giving you a chance for your own design to be in the game. LEGO Ideas has kicked off a new contest for you to submit your entries to wins some great prizes. In addition to having your floor design be in LEGO Towers when it launches this summer, six winners will also get the LEGO Creator Corner Garage (10264), LEGO Ideas Ship in a Bottle (21313), a $200 shopping spree, as well as a special unlock feature in the game. The entry must be build using a digital building tool like LEGO Digitial Designer or any other LEGO building software. You can check out the full list of rules in the link above....

For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring is finally here. In observance of the season, Jarema has built a small, yet elegant-looking LEGO bird returning from the tropics. It doubles as an excellent case study in how just a few parts can go a long way in modeling a subject that is instantly recognizable. Coupled with the tilted beak, black wings staggered above white wings imply we are birdwatching from beneath the clouds. Meanwhile, the placement of each element is carefully calculated. Red crowbars make for excellent feet stretched out in flight, and the mechanical arm doubles nicely as a neck. I particularly love how the minifigure epaulette has been used to form the bird’s belly. It looks like it could hold a fish or two! The post A bird that looks majestic in miniature appeared first on The Brothers Brick. Original linkOriginal author: Matt Hocker

Sometimes you look at a creation and don’t even realize you’re looking at something built out of LEGO bricks. That’s exactly what Lino Martins has achieved with his Imperial Probe Droid. At first glance, you might mistake the Arakyd Industries Viper probe droid for an action figure, but upon closer inspection you realize that it is, in fact, made up of LEGO elements. Of course, it helps that he’s used certain pieces that are perfect substitutes for what is seen in the Empire Strikes Back, for example the Technic pins look almost identical to the ends of the antenna. And that’s just starting at the top – scanning the rest of the model shows more and more components that look enough like the reel thing to make you think it’s searching for your hidden Rebel base.

There’s one thing I never get tired of in the world of Star Wars, and that’s seeing yet another custom LEGO X-Wing model. Each builder brings their own flavor to the table, including neat techniques. What seems easy usually isn’t. For example, builder Koen Zwanenburg experimented with four different iterations and modifications before ending up with the X-Wing seen here. For those unfamiliar with Koen’s work, he’s quite a versatile builder with everything from the cuteness overload of his classic rubber duck to the elegant grandeur of his Minas Tirith from the Lord of the Rings!
