LEGO Hero Factory Stormer review! Brain Attack wave 2
Brain Attack Stormer, online! Tons more videos to come, so don't look away for long!
Toys R Us giveth, Toys R Us taketh away
ToysRUs.com is once again engaging in their maddening LEGO release season malaise. Late April through the first week of this month, all new Hero Factory Brain Attack Wave 2 figures except for Evo & Aquagon were showing as "not available online" and "in stores," though they were not yet in stores. The same went for the City Coast Guard, Chima Ultrabuild, and Galaxy Squad Wave 2 sets. On May 9th, all came in stock for online ordering, except for the 2 missing HF figs, Galaxy Squad Galactic Titan, and Coast Guard Surfer Rescue. The evening of the 13th, Evo & Aquagon were added to the site, ready to order, though listed with generic & incorrect names of "LEGO Hero Factory Fall Ast1," "Ast" standing for "Assortment." The Surfer Rescue set also came up in stock. By the following morning, all of these new sets had been removed from the site entirely, except for Aquagon, who was pulled hours later. When I say removed, I mean removed. The product IDs (I saved them) now come up as invalid.
It's endlessly frustrating that this sort of madness occurs every single time there's a new major LEGO release. In the United States, Toys R Us is frequently the first source for new sets, before LEGO stores even, and folks who want the sets quickly need to rely on either astounding luck or the spare time to check the TRU site every hour (if not more frequently) to catch products the moment they appear (sometimes with wrong names, or in wrong categories making them hard to find), before they get removed, re-added as "out of stock," removed, moved, renamed, and then re-listed days later. Does anyone have any inside information from TRU to explain this insanity?
PS: Don't worry, I did get all of the new sets.

Here's my first combiner model from Hero Factory Brain Attack Wave 2, Dragon Bolt + Surge combine to form what I now call Absurdge! Not to be left alone, Absurdge leaves behind a new hyper-villain, Dragon Dolt!

LEGO Hero Factory Dragon Bolt review! Brain Attack wave 2
It's here! My first Hero Factory Brain Attack Wave 2 review! I had this guy in my big online order from Toys R Us, but I know that so many of you have been anxiously awaiting this new series, I went to my local brick-and-mortar TRU for one more check! The online order arrives in 1-2 days tops, but the local store had a few new sets so I bought another just to bring you all the review as quickly as humanly possible! I hope you enjoy it!
Spread the word, a massive, continuous stream of new reviews is on the way!

LEGO Summer Scene 40054 set review!
Already managed to sneak in my first "Summer 2013" set review here! Alright, with 40 pieces it's a little uncomfortable to call it a "set," but hey, something is better than nothing! :)
More new reviews to come hopefully next week.
LEGO City 4206 Recycling Truck set review!
This should be my last not-brand-new set review for quite awhile, as about 15 sets are on their way from Toys R Us in one order alone, with still more new sets soon to be released! It's going to be a busy late Spring & early Summer!
Yet Another Bricklink Haul
This one was actually filmed quite awhile ago and I almost forgot about it!
