Collecting LEGO videos – a TFOL’s confessions

Let’s start with this. I am a LEGO collector. I collect LEGO sets of course, but since I’m a TFOL (Teen-Fan-of-LEGO), I don’t have my own income to buy a lot of LEGO sets. So, I try to find other LEGO-related things that I can collect. It dawned on me about 2 years ago when my friend gave me a video downloading software (which is moot compared to what I use now) that I could download LEGO videos. I downloaded all the LEGO Ninjago episodes at that time and I was instantly hooked. I also downloaded LEGO related PDFs, LEGO building instructions, and many more. My dad calls it an addiction, and I’ve got to admit, I’ve suffered withdrawal symptoms… but let’s start with my favorite aspect, videos. 🙂

Then, suddenly, the next best (LEGO related) thing happened to me since getting out of my dark-ages (which was only about 5 years): I found the best video downloading program in the world. It’s called iWisoft Free Video Downloader. It detects and downloads videos, so I am able to download videos straight from LEGO.com. It’s just great! 😛

Take a look at the properties of this file on my laptop labeled simply as “LEGO”. Pretty cool, right? 46.5 Gigabytes, 37,388 files. That’s how dedicated I am… 😎

So now let’s go to the videos tab shall we? Open it… and voila! My pride and joy and not at all shame! There’s a little something here for everyone, for I have many TVCs, LEGO Designer Videos, LEGO TV series and even (although not so legal) full-length movies! Now, what should we see? How about checking out some of the content? 😉

Let’s see, we have the LEGO Star Wars webcomic Season 5 Episode 10…

And of course I have some old, nostalgic LEGO videos, such as this classic LEGO commercial…

Well that’s it for now… so what do you think? If you guys like this article I might write a part 2, featuring LEGO model combining instructions, or even write a monthly post with some new content highlights – but I’m getting ahead of myself. As I mentioned, I’m a TFOL and this is my very first post here, so bear with me. Feedback is welcome. And if you would like to request a video just say it in the comments. Thanks for reading! 😀

Summer & fall 2013 LEGO sets first pictures

in Other News & Updates

There are a few pictures surfaced of the summer and fall 2013 LEGO sets that I wanted to share with you right away. The images don’t have the confidentiality watermark, so they are okay to share. Be warned though that they are very small. However they will give you a better idea of some of the sets coming – as they say; a picture speaks a thousand words… even if so tiny you have to use a magnifier to see them. 🙄

These 2013 LEGO sets images are from flickr member motayan, who has been able to produce first-look images of many of the upcoming LEGO sets. Whoever he/she is, it is worth to bookmark their flickr gallery. I enlarged some of the images so you can see them better, but some are so small enlarging just made them worse. Anyhow, take a look below. 😉

➡ 2013 LEGO STAR WARS SETS: The first two images are of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars sets. We talked about them before in the Summer & Fall 2013 LEGO Sets – First View post, which contained details of the summer and fall LEGO Star Wars sets, but no pictures.

#75018 LEGO Star Wads Jek 14’s Stealth Starfighter – from the Yoda Chronicles. Minifigs included are Jek-14, Separatist Bounty Hunter, Special Forces Clone Trooper, and R4-G0.

#75019 LEGO Star Wars AT-TE – with Mace Windu, Coleman Trebor, Clone Trooper Gunner, and two Battle Droids.

➡ 2013 LEGO LORD OF THE RINGS SETS: Here are a couple of images from the upcoming #79008 LEGO Lord of the Rings Pirate Ship Ambush set. This is a wonderful ship with brown sails and nine minifigures; Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, King of the Dead, two Soldiers of the Dead, Pirate of Umbar, and two Mordor Orcs.

➡ 2013 LEGO CREATOR SETS: The only picture revealed in the LEGO Creator series is the #31012 LEGO Creator Family House. Alternate models are a villa and a small factory.

➡ 2013 LEGO GAMES: There are three LEGO game sets coming out later in the year; the #50011 LEGO Lord of the Rings Battle for Helm’s Deep Game, the #50006 LEGO Legends of Chima Game, and the #50003 LEGO Batman Game. Look at all those microfigs! 😛

So, these are the images we have so far of the later 2013 LEGO sets. What do you think? How do you like the 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets, the LEGO Lord of the Rings ship, the LEGO Creator house and the LEGO games? Which are you most excited about? Or are you still waiting to see how the other 2013 LEGO sets look like? Feel free to share your thoughts below! 🙂
