LEGO Ultra Agents App Brick Trailer

January 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

For those who are wondering what the new App Bricks in the upcoming LEGO Ultra Agents are about, LEGO has released a short video detailing their features. Each of the five sets in the wave will have a couple of App Bricks included which will let you create gadgets to use with the free app. The app also has more comics and games that continue the Ultra Agents storyline and the built App Brick Gadgets are used to find clues within the games. The app also has alternate builds that you can create with the sets. The app is recommended for tablet devices so if you’re just using a cell phone, it might not be as optimal. Check out the video below to see the App Bricks in action. The next wave of LEGO Ultra Agents sets will be released on March 1st.

If the announcement of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes UCS S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier (76042) wasn’t enough, Warner Bros. also has an announcement today. TT Games will be releasing more LEGO games in 2015 including LEGO Jurassic World and LEGO Marvel’s Avengers as well as some handlheld and mobile titles which includes LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin which we already talked about.

We first saw a sneak peek at the LEGO Jurassic World game when a T-Rex and the theme song showed up at the credits of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham but it seems that WB and TT Games already had something in mind. The game will consist of the first three Jurassic Park movies as well as the upcoming Jurassic World movie and it will be released in June.

The LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game will feature the characters and storylines from the Avengers movie as well as the Avengers: Age of Ultron and more. It is slated to be released in Fall 2015.

Super Bowl XLIX Commercials Recreated in LEGO in the Brick Bowl

January 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The NFL Super Bowl XLIX will be happening this Sunday and will vie to be the most watched sporting events on television. Throughout the game, advertisers will be showcasing their $4.5 million commercials which last for about 30 seconds and they hope it will stay in the minds of millions of viewers. So what does this have to do with LEGO?

UK-based animation studio A+C Studios is planning on recreating all of the commercials that will be shown during the Super Bowl in LEGO form with 36 hours in the Brick Bowl. Once half time of the Super Bowl begins, the team will watch the ads at their 5,000 square foot studio and start creating the storyboards for the commercials. Soon after, they will start start building and animating the recreated ads. After their 36 hours are up, they will broadcast the animated movie. A+C Studios will be documenting their whole process so follow their social media sites to keep up with what they are doing.

I, for one, can’t wait to see the real commercials as they are pretty entertaining but to see them in LEGO is something else. As for the game itself, I hope the Seattle Seahawks win again this year.

HBO Asia The LEGO Movie Red Envelopes

January 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

To kick off the Lunar New Year overseas, HBO Asia will be premiering The LEGO Movie on February 19 and if you’re subscribed to the channel, you can pick up yourself a packet of these snazzy The LEGO Movie red envelopes. These envelopes feature all the main characters of the movie but is missing Wyldstyle for some reason. Geek Culture notes that you can get one of these packets at any Starhub locations but you may want to verify first. As someone who will be celebrating the Lunar New Year next month, I wish I could get my hands on something like this but I probably won’t be able to. Thanks to Deborah for emailing this in.

January 28, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

As we mentioned yesterday, the LEGO Star Wars sets were displayed at the 2015 Nuremberg Toy Fair but photography was prohibited but that won’t stop reports from coming out describing them. Michael over at Promo Bricks mentions there will be a new line of construction figures that will look similar to General Grievous (10186) from 2008. However, these sets won’t have any TECHNIC pieces and will be like the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Ultrabuild sets from 2012. Michael also mentioned that they will be available in October but from the report we got a few weeks ago, they will be available in September. There’s no word on who the characters will be but Boba Fett will definitely be one of them. More details as they come.
