Fun LEGO Minecraft stop-motion videos

by Thita (admin) on June 17, 2015

We haven’t talked about the LEGO Minecraft sets recently, however I found a series of fun videos by LEGO that I thought to share with you. Each of these stop-motion videos feature a little action-scene for the current LEGO Minecraft sets. A nice way to bring the sets alive. 🙂

You can watch all the LEGO Minecraft videos in the player below. The first video features the #21113 LEGO Minecraft The Cave set, with Steve minding his own business unaware that a zombie and spider is just about to attack him. The second video features the #21114 LEGO Minecraft The Farm where Steve is busy growing his garden, but underestimates the skeleton hiding behind the trees. The third video features the #21115 LEGO Minecraft The First Night set, with Steve busily building his house while he keeps being interrupted by a creeper. The last video features the #21118 LEGO Minecraft The Mine set with Steve ending up in a frightening ride underground…

Cute stop-motion videos, aren’t they? We have reviewed the LEGO Minecraft sets previously (see links at the end of this post), but the videos are a good reminder how much fun these sets can be. One feature I particularly like is that the elements are almost all basic bricks and plates rather than specialized pieces, so they are excellent for free-building. They are quite similar to the LEGO Classic brick-boxes in this regard, but with a more earth-toned color selection. There are currently six LEGO Minecraft sets available, with more coming later this summer. If you are interested you can check them out at the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? How do you like these LEGO Minecraft stop-motion videos? And what do you think of the sets? Do you have some of them already? Which one do you like best? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Ideas WALL-E pictures & details

by Thita (admin) on June 16, 2015

in LEGO Exclusives

Another one of the upcoming LEGO Ideas sets were revealed just a few days ago. As you may remember, there are three LEGO Ideas sets that will be available later this year; the #21302 LEGO Ideas The Big Bang Theory that we discussed recently (see link at the end of this post), the LEGO Ideas Doctor Who set (not yet revealed), and the #21303 LEGO Ideas WALL-E set. This last model was originally designed by film-director, animator and screenwriter Angus MacLane, who personally worked on the WALL-E film – and thus the perfect person to design this set! 🙂

Angus MacLane submitted his LEGO WALL-E model to LEGO Ideas, and after achieving 10,000 public votes, the model was selected as one of the next LEGO Ideas sets. Just as a side-note, this is not the first time Angus designed a LEGO set. His very innovative and creative brick-built LEGO Star Wars characters called LEGO CubeDudes were released back in 2010 and were available as exclusives at various conventions (see link at the end of this post for more info).

Going back to the upcoming LEGO WALL-E, the set captures the film-character perfectly! The neck and eyes can flex, the wrist and hands are movable, and of course the wheels and tracks can rotate. Also, the compartment on the torso can open, just like in the movie, so the little plant can be put inside. I’m hoping that the logo at the front is printed rather than stickered, and I wish LEGO designers gave WALL-E a cooler too! The set will be available in December. The official price is not yet known, but it is listed at €57.99 at this website, which roughly converts to £39.99 in the UK and $39.99 in the US, based on similarly priced sets.

So far the reaction from LEGO and Pixar fans to the LEGO WALL-E set has been overwhelmingly positive, and for a good reason! This is likely going to be one of the most popular LEGO Ideas sets, and I expect that it will fly off the shelves as soon as it becomes available. While we are waiting you can check out the currently available LEGO Ideas sets submitted by LEGO fans at the Online LEGO Shop.

So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO Ideas WALL-E set? Are you planning to get it when it becomes available? Which one is your favorite LEGO Ideas set so far? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
