The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part The Rexcelsior! (70839) Revealed

January 22, 2019

One of summer 2019 The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part sets has been revealed during the London Toy Fair with The Rexcelsior! (70839). The set has 1,820 pieces and retail for £139.99 and it includes minifigures of Emmet and Rex Dangervest as well as some microfigures of them and the baby raptors. One of the play features with The Rexcelsior is the 6-missile rapid blast function. We first saw the set The LEGO Movie 2: The Awesomest, Most Amazing, Most Epic Movie Guide and there was no doubt that we would be seeing this set coming in the summer.

In a global exclusive reveal at this year’s London Toy Fair, The LEGO Group has shown off an upcoming addition to its range of exciting products from The LEGO® MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART™ (in UK cinemas February 8th) – in the form of new hero Rex Dangervest’s ship, The Rexcelsior.

The 1,820 piece model, released in summer 2019, gives builders of all ages the chance to take control of all-action hero Dangervest’s vessel, shaped like a fist and featuring a rapid-fire, 6-missile spring-loaded shooter with shooting function and a trigger in the back, allowing them to role-play space missions with Rex, Emmet and Rex’s raptor crew.

Measuring over 7” (19cm) high, 15” (40cm) long and 8” (21cm) wide, The Rexcelsior features a detailed microscale interior, as well as Stubble Trouble Emmet and Rex Dangervest Minifigures, Emmet and Rex LEGO Microfigures, five micro raptor toy dinosaur figures and five micro build models including Emmet’s house and a dropship.

Builders aged 10+ can make their play experience ‘awesomer together’ by building with a friend – whether spotting the details of the micro-scale interior (featuring its own skate park, cargo bay and command bridge) or by joining the raptors in the cockpit as they set off on more space adventures.

The set is part of a wider range of products from The LEGO® MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART™ that will bring to life a range of exciting LEGO sets and play experiences for kids and parents, such as Emmet’s Thricycle and Rex’s Rex-treme Offroader. Builders can break and rebuild their structures for extra fun, and to even create their own version of The Rexcelsior!

The Rexcelsior has been revealed for the first time at London Toy Fair in a global exclusive and will officially launch in summer 2019 for a RRP of £139.99.

Amazon has recently updated their listing of the book with some new preview images of what we can expect to see. The last version of the book came out in 2014 with the Updated and Expanded version and the latest one will include LEGO Star Wars sets and minifigures that have been released in the last few years. Of course, we can’t forget about the exclusive minifigure that will also be included with the New Edition which should be revealed as we get closer to the release date.

The LEGO Movie 2 Fabuland Cameo

As we know by now, The LEGO Movie 2 will be full of cameos with the latest one being US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg which was revealed yesterday. Warner Bros. dropped another teaser spot today showing that scene and at the end, we get a look at some new characters including one that is a theme favorite of Just2Good, Fabuland. If you’re not familiar with Fabuland, it was a theme that started in 1979 and ran throughout the 1980s and it encouraged storytelling using anthropomorphic animal characters.

As you can see from the teaser video below, it shows a bunch of characters dancing and the one on the left is one of the Bulldogs from the theme. His appearance in the movie could suggest that he may appear in a summer wave set for The LEGO Movie 2 and it would be pretty cool to see that.

On a side note, we also get to see a Fox Suit Girl which could be a possible LEGO minifigure as well.

The team has arrived. See them all in #TheLEGOMovie2, in theaters February 8. pic.twitter.com/J49PBL1T2O

LEGO at the 2019 London Toy Fair

January 20, 2019

The 2019 London Toy Fair kicks off on Tuesday and it looks like LEGO will be back this year to show off some of their lineups for this year. According to the exhibit floor map, they won’t be on the floor itself with the other exhibitors but they have their own space in the Olympia Room which is tucked away on one side of the show floor. This may suggest that LEGO has a lot to show off or it’ll mostly be for The LEGO Movie 2 sets which there are a lot of.

If you remember from last year, LEGO did not attend the event and there was no reasoning given for it. It could be that the company was focusing on turning the company around after their financial results weren’t as encouraging as they expected for the year before. Anyways, I’m not sure if any LEGO fansites were invited to attend this year’s Toy Fair or if it’s just for retailers like with 2017 but hopefully there are some details that come out of it.

The LEGO Movie 2 Ruth Bader Ginsburg Cameo Revealed

More details of The LEGO Movie 2 are coming out as we get closer to the premiere and today’s reveal is probably the most strangest one so far. USA Today has reported that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be appearing in the movie and will play a part of Finn’s sister’s Systar System. When director Mike Mitchell was asked ‘Who’s the last person you would think to see in a Lego film as a minifig?,’ he answered Ginsburg who will be shown in a new trailer coming out tomorrow.

Just a warning, I don’t want any politics in the comments. I read every comment and will be deleting any that come in.
