LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025) Feel Guide

August 17, 2019

The Series 19 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71025) comes out in a few weeks and I’ve already had a few messages regarding if I was going to do a feel guide for them so here it is. I know there’s a lot of you who don’t need one but this guide is for beginner collectors who don’t know how to search for a particular character. A number of the characters have very unique pieces to make them stand out from others. Series 19 will be available starting on September 1 but you may find them a bit early at other retailers.

Dog Sitter

– Easiest thing is to feel for the two dogs.

Video Game Champ

– I suggest feeling for the 2×3 tile even though a another character has it. Confirm with the controller.

Shower Guy

– This one may be a little difficult but I would feel for the brush because the shower cap could be mistaken for some of the other helmets in the wave.

Rugby Player

– The rugby ball would be the thing I search for if I was looking for him.

Bear Costume Guy

– The bear helmet would be easy to feel for. Use the rainbow and heart tile pieces to confirm.

Pizza Costume Guy

– The large pizze piece, ’nuff said.

Galactic Bounty Hunter

– I would suggest feeling for the gun.

Monkey King

– The pole is the thing I would feel for if I was searching for this one.

Programmer

– The 1×1 should stand out since no other character has this piece.

Gardener

– The flamingo piece, especially the curvy neck, should stand out.

Mountain Biker

– The bike should be very easy to feel for.

Fire Fighter

– The fire fighter may be a little difficult but I suggest feeling for the microphone piece.

Fright Knight

– The sword and shield should be easy for feel for.

Jungle Explorer

– I would feel for the cowboy hat and the backpack.

Mummy Queen

– She may be one of the harder characters in the wave since she has minimal distinishing features. I would feel for the scorpion and the headdress.

Fox Costume Girl

– The fox head piece is the easiest thing to search for.

LEGO Sustainability Mission Video

Last year, LEGO launched an initiative to produce LEGO elements from plant-based elements and a few days ago, they released a video to talk about the sustainability mission in an easy to follow way. They have also noted that their goal is to make all LEGO bricks sustainable by 2030. Currently, the LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318) is the largest set to have plant-based elements with 185 which is 6% of the 3,036 elements in the set. Do you think we’ll see a set in the future that uses 100% sustainable elements?

The LEGO Movie World Announced for LEGOLAND California

Yesterday morning, LEGOLAND California announced a new attraction coming to the park next year for its 20th birthday. It will be the largest addition to the park and it is called The LEGO Movie World. The flagship ride is called Master of Flight and it is a flying theater attraction that immerses guests using a full-dome virtual screen. Other rides in The LEGO Movie World include Unikitty’s Disco Drop and Benny’s Play Ship.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (August 15, 2019) –The audience erupted in cheer and confetti filled the theater as LEGOLAND® California Resort unveiled its biggest gift for its 20th birthday by announcing the largest addition in the Park’s history: The LEGO® Movie™ World. General Manager Peter Ronchetti is excited to take guests from theater to theme park in 2020.

“The LEGO MOVIE WORLD is LEGOLAND California Resort’s largest Park addition ever and we are thrilled to create an interactive experience that fully immerses guests into a world that was so brilliantly created by LEGO and celebrated by the hugely popular LEGO film franchise from our friends at Warner Bros.,” said Ronchetti. “We can’t wait to see the faces on all the children as they interact within the creative world of Bricksburg and experience the incredible Masters of Flight ride which is taking the traditional soaring-type of ride to new heights.”

On the flagship ride Masters of Flight, guests hop aboard Emmet’s triple decker flying couch for a thrill-seeking adventure. The flying theater attraction whisks guests away on a suspended ride with a full-dome virtual screen, giving the sensational feeling of flying above memorable lands such as Middle Zealand, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Pirates Cove and Outer Space. Along the way, riders will see some familiar faces along with some new ones like Sweet Mayhem, a star character from THE LEGO® MOVIE 2: The Second Part. Masters of flight features cutting edge technology including a 180-degree turn in the ride experience.

The LEGO MOVIE WORLD is based on the blockbuster films The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. The new land fully immerses guests into the LEGO Movie universe and places them onto the streets of Bricksburg. In addition to Masters of Flight, kids and families will get to enjoy the rush of falling from Unikitty’s Disco Drop and experiencing the many personalities of the fearless feline. The new ride launches guests to the top of Cloud Cuckoo Land, then drops, spins and bounces them back down to earth, creating a thrilling and fun experience. The adventure doesn’t stop there as guests can explore Benny’s Play Ship, ride a fully reimagined carousel, and meet Emmet and all of his friends in Emmet’s Super Suite apartment.

LEGO.com Website Update

August 16, 2019

If you went to LEGO [email protected] yesterday, you may have noticed a new splash page for the site. This is one of the updates LEGO has been doing in the background to the site and a pretty major one to say the least. shop.LEGO.com now redirects to LEGO.com itself and all the product pages uses the main domain instead of being a subdomain. I found out yesterday before our affiliate network sent out an email to tell us about the changes.

The splash page is separated into two sides, the shopping side and the Play Zone which is geared towards kids. This is where the old LEGO.com went to and is filled with games and videos for kids to explore.

This new change seems to be a good idea since people who go to LEGO.com is more than likely looking to do some shopping and this takes away any confusion people may have when going there.

Last month, Fox started looking for contestants for the upcoming US version of LEGO Masters which you can sign up over at LEGOMasters.tv. A few of the casting producers of the show have reached out asking if I knew of any builders who might be interested in joining.

Some of the details I’ve been given are that the commitment is about seven weeks and shooting will begin on October 28 in the Los Angeles area. All the costs for travel and accommodation would be covered by production and there will also be a stipend provided for contestants every week they remain on the show. There will also be a major cash prize however the exact amount still hasn’t been announced yet.
