LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) Costco Sale

November 20, 2019 /

If you’ve been holding off on a good sale for the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311), Costco currently has a sale on it that is one of the best I’ve seen. It is on sale for only $114.99 which is 36% or $65 off the normal price. I doubt that we’ll see any sales that are better than this before the end of the year so get it while you can. I will not guarantee that every Costco will have Voltron available but it’s worth checking out. It is one of the many sets that is marked to be retiring by the end of 2019. Thanks to Mariann for the heads up.

Manchester United Announces Product Partnership with LEGO

November 20, 2019 /

It looks like LEGO has partnered up with the Manchester United football team to release some new products next year. Details of the partnership are fairly vague but a spokesman from the team stated,

Our partnership with LEGO is a licensing agreement. More information on the partnership and some exciting new products will be released in the new year.

This is the second time that LEGO has struck a partnership with a football team with the first one being the DFB German National Team (71014) from 2016 which was only available in Europe unless you get it from the secondary market. I assume the LEGO Manchester United products will also be available in Europe initially and the rest of the world later on since LEGO won’t do regional exclusives anymore but we’ll see.

LEGO Early Black Friday 2019 Rumored Promotions

Yesterday I reported on some of the promotions for LEGO Black Friday 2019 but I now have news on the Early Black Friday promos as well.

I’m not sure how big the 2×4 brick will be since this is the first time I’ve heard of it. These promos will run next weekend in stores and on Shop@Home.

I want to also clarify and apologize that the Batmobile will not be on sale early as I have previously reported. There was a mixup of information as there will be a number of promotions going the next few weeks. It will be available on November 29 along with the mini Batmobile.

Brick Fanatics Magazine Issue 12 Available Now

November 9, 2019 /

An interview between LEGO Star Wars and Lucasfilm, a first look at 76139 1989 Batmobile and an exclusive LEGO Originals Wooden Minifigure report all make Issue 12 of Brick Fanatics Magazine unmissable

The 12th edition of the print publication all about LEGO is available worldwide to order now at www.brickfanatics.com/magazine, with shipping due from the end of November. Single copies (with additional postage and packaging charge) and 12-issue and 24-issue subscriptions from Issue 12 are all available to order.

This issue leads with a very special interview between LEGO and Lucasfilm, as Brick Fanatics Magazine brings together designers from both companies who have played their part in shaping this most recent era of Star Wars on the big screen and in LEGO.

As part of Pinewood Studios’ Creature Department, Concept Designer Jake Lunt Davies is responsible for designing a host of droids and creatures that have appeared in Star Wars, starting with The Force Awakens and ending with December’s upcoming The Rise of Skywalker. From prominent characters such as BB-8 and the Porgs to memorable creatures such as the Rathtars, the Caretakers and Thala-sirens and background heroes like Pao and Ello Asty, Jake has helped shape the last five years of Star Wars on the big screen, and, inadvertently a large number of LEGO Star Wars sets too.

As the Skywalker saga and sequel trilogy draws to a close this December with the release of The Rise of Skywalker, Brick Fanatics Magazine sits Jake down with LEGO Creative Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Design Manager … Continue

The LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) was announced just in time for Black Friday shopping which includes the free smaller Limited Edition (40433) version of the set when you buy it.

Whether or not the Early Access will include the LEGO Seasonal Christmas Tree (40338) promotional remains to be seen at this time.

Coming from a child’s imagination, the float is called The Brick-Changer and it is part turkey and part dragon. This is the second float that LEGO has presented in the parade with the first one being the Carousel of Imagination from 2002. K-Pop band NCT 127 will be one of the artists performing on it.

This November millions of kids and families will be inspired to build – and rebuild — the impossible as LEGO Systems debuts a new float in the 93rd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®. On Thursday, November 28, 2019, it’s all about brickcraft for fans of all ages as The Brick-changer float takes to the streets of New York City delighting more than 3.5 million spectators and more than 50 million viewers nationwide, with a creative wonder set to rebuild the world, one colorful brick at a time.

“We are incredibly thrilled to welcome the LEGO brand back to the Macy’s Parade family with a brand new float that figuratively breathes creativity into the building blocks of the imagination,” said Jordan Dabby, producer of Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “The new LEGO float is a conceptual marvel, marrying the creative and design talents of the artists of Macy’s Parade Studio with that of LEGO MasterBuilders to bring to life a magical creature that will inspire a new generation of Parade spectators.”

The LEGO Group Opens New Campus in Billund, Denmark

October 28, 2019 /

LEGO has announced that they have opened up a new state-of-the-art campus at its headquarters in Billund. This new campus will be 54,000 square meters and will hold more than 2,000 employees when construction is completed in 2021.

BILLUND, DENMARK, October 28, 2019: After four years of planning and construction, the LEGO Group opened the first phase of its new, state-of-the-art Campus at its headquarters in Billund, Denmark today. Designed by C.F. Møller Architects, the campus will span 54,000 square metres and house more than 2,000 employees when it is finished in 2021.

Hoping to express the core values of the LEGO Group: imagination, creativity, fun, learning, caring and quality, the inspiration for the new building came from a painting in the LEGO Group owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen’s office. In it, a boy proudly holds up his creation of a building made with LEGO® bricks. This gave the architects license to adopt a more playful approach to their design, something that is apparent in the details of the structure. These include the use of LEGO bricks in the exterior walls, the placement of two, gigantic yellow bricks on the roof, and an entryway made of bricks.

Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group said: “It’s wonderful to see these first two buildings open. The team has worked hard to create a workspace that reflects our values and instills a sense of fun. Our mission is to inspire children so it’s important we provide our talented colleagues with an environment that is playful and inspires

LEGO Ideas Dinosaur Fossils Display Promotion

October 22, 2019 /

The LEGO Ideas Dinosaur Fossils (21320) comes out next week and it looks like there’s a neat little promotional item that will be available for it, at least in China.

According to the wording on the seals, it will be available at the Beijing LEGO Store.

There’s no word yet if the rest of the world will get it. I’m going to assume that it’s possible that it can come out in December because LEGO likes to run promotions a month late. Thanks to dylanchow for the heads up!

Life-Sized LEGO Ideas Central Perk Reveal at Friends Experience Las Vegas

October 18, 2019 /

Friends is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and there will be a Friends Experience in Las Vegas this weekend that will feature a life-sized version of Central Perk built out of LEGO. Nathan Sawaya has been commissioned to recreate a life-sized LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) that is 700 square feet and using almost 1 million LEGO bricks over a period of four months. It will be revealed and displayed today at the New York-New York Hotel which you can go and check out. As for the Central Perk set itself, it is currently out of stock again after going back up for a short time a few days ago.

Go big…or go home! At nearly 700 square feet, this re-creation of one of the series’ signature sets will be on display exclusively at New York-New York. Built out of 900,000 LEGO bricks over a period of four months, this life-sized re-creation from acclaimed artist Nathan Sawaya features everything from the iconic sofa to the latest menu board.

Fun Facts: No one has ever built a life-sized TV set out of LEGO bricks before. Although the creators binge-watched every season of “Friends,” it took them longer to build the set than to watch the series. The furniture is all fully functional –– allowing visitors to sit on the couches and chairs. The signature orange couch took the longest time to build –– as the most challenging part of the process was replicating the patterns in the upholstery.

At £649.99 / $699.99, 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer is the joint-most expensive set ever released by the LEGO Group for UK collectors, and second most expensive for US collectors after the UCS Millennium Falcon. At that level, the 4,784-piece wonder is worth our special attention this issue.

Back in the real world, Brick Fanatics Magazine also takes a special look at 21318 Tree House, taking the largest Ideas set released to a unique tree house location in the New Forest. The UK national park is home to rare wildlife, protected woodland and a purpose-built education centre up in the trees, where we were lucky to spend a day with Countryside Education Trust’s Chief Executive, Jane Cooper, and play a bit of LEGO too.

Issue 11 of Brick Fanatics Magazine also includes a preview of Speed Champions’ first confirmed release of 2020, as we exclusively discuss with the theme’s design lead a … Continue

Toys R Us Partners with Target to Relaunch Website

October 8, 2019 /

Toys R Us has relaunched their website ahead of the holiday shopping season. They have teamed up with Target to feature product reviews and if you want to buy something, there is a purchase button to Target to complete your purchase.

If you remember, Toys R Us will be opening two stores in the US and it looks like the revamped website will also be doing their online sales through Target. This is an interesting strategy on TRU’s part since they are making their comeback just before the holidays so we’ll see if it works out for them. It is unsure at this time if LEGO will be doing anything with the new Toys R Us in regards to any exclusives like they used to do.

LEGO Announces New LEGO Replay Pilot Program

October 8, 2019 /

If you’re like me and have way too many LEGO bricks, LEGO has launched a new pilot program called LEGO Replay which allows you to donate bricks you don’t want to children’s non-profits in the US. LEGO is working with three different organizations including Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. Check out the press release below.

ENFIELD, CONNECTICUT, October 8, 2019: Today, The LEGO Group announced the launch of LEGO® Replay, a pilot program that will accept any and all previously used LEGO bricks and donate them to children’s non-profits in the United States. The effort is a collaboration with Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.

The process is simple: collect any loose LEGO bricks, sets, or elements, place them into a cardboard box, and visit www.lego.com/replay to print out a free UPS shipping label. The package will be sent to the Give Back Box facility, where each brick will be sorted, inspected by hand, and given a rigorous cleaning. This process is possible because LEGO bricks are made from high-quality, durable materials, designed to be used for generations.

“We know people don’t throw away their LEGO bricks,” said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group. “The vast majority hand them down to their children or grandchildren. But others have asked us for a safe way to dispose or donate their bricks, so with Replay, they have an easy option that’s both sustainable and socially impactful.”

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored Price Increase in 2020

October 7, 2019 /

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

In 2020, we’ll be getting a few series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures and it looks like we’ll be paying a little bit more for them. For about five years now, the LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been priced at $3.99 each but it looks like it will jump up a dollar next year. This comes from an email that I got a few weeks back and it looks to be confirmed by another source.

I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the rumored price increase but I’m sure fans will not be too pleased about it if is true, however, there are some cool new things that are rumored for 2020 which I’ll talk about later on which could be a reasoning of why we’ll be paying more for them. Of course, treat this as a rumor but considering two different sources have said it, I would say it may be true.

LEGO Holiday Ideas Book Review

October 7, 2019 /

A few days ago, I received a mysterious package from DK and I opened it to find out it was a brand new LEGO book called LEGO Holiday Ideas. It has 80 pages and it features more than 50 build ideas to use for holiday decorations, games, and gifts. What’s even cooler is that the book also provides the parts for an exclusive reindeer build.

Of course, you’ll need your own parts for the other builds in the book but the images for the pages were photographed very well so you can see what parts are needed. Some of my personal favorite builds from the book include The Elf Express which is a monorail for the elves and the Gingerbread Train.

LEGO Holiday Ideas retails for $14.99 but it is currently on sale over on Amazon for $10.59 which is 29% off. Thank you again to DK for sending it over for us to check out.

The LEGO Technic Liebherr R 9800 Excavator (42100) was released last week but LEGO has been doing some other cool promotional marketing for the set.

With the assistance of Sariel’s LEGO Workshop, LEGO made a control using the same elements from the Technic Liebherr to control the real machine using the Control+ app. Check out the video below.

LEGO Technic Top Gear Set Coming in 2020

September 29, 2019 /

LEGO has announced a new partnership with the hit BBC TV show Top Gear to produce a LEGO Technic Top Gear set that is set to be released in 2020. As you may remember, there was a rumor from many years ago that we could be getting Top Gear sets which ended up becoming the LEGO Speed Champions theme.

This new Technic set will be based on the BBC Two show starring Paddy McGuinness, Freddie Flintoff, and Chris Harris. BBC Studios Head of Licensing, Jason Easy, states, “It’s certainly a natural fit for both and we’re looking forward to seeing the LEGO Technic Set hit the shelves next year.”

There’s no word on whether we’ll get the three in minifigure form but considering that it’s a Technic set, it’ll probably just be a larger scale vehicle.

Thanks to Richie for the heads up.

The LEGO Group Ranks First for Global Corporate Responsibility

September 23, 2019 /

Reputation Institute has released their rankings for global corporate responsibility and The LEGO Group has been rank first on the list. It was stated in the press release that LEGO was rated the highest when it came to being fair in business, ethical, and being open and transparent. More than half of consumers said they would buy LEGO products which is 13.7% higher than the RepTrak 100 average. This ranking is on top of their second place finish on the 2019 Global RepTrak 100 for being the most highly regarded company in the world.

Global study puts the LEGO Group in first place on Corporate Responsibility

The study, conducted by Reputation Institute, a global technology-driven provider of reputation measurement and management services, calibrated the perceptions of more than 140 companies on the merits of CR. CR RepTrak measures perceptions of Citizenship, Governance and Workplace, and provides a means of assessing a company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials. The study is based on more than 230,000 individual ratings from the informed general public across 15 leading economies.

“The LEGO Group is a great example of a company that is committed to delivering on corporate responsibility and realizing strong business results by doing the right thing,” said Kasper Nielsen, Chief Strategy Officer at Reputation Institute. “The core strength in corporate responsibility translates into 57% of consumers saying they would definitely buy The LEGO Group’s products — which is a net 13.7 percentage points higher than the CR RepTrak 100 average.”

Consistent with The LEGO Group’s long-held approach

LEGO Storage Bucket (5005630) Review

LEGO Storage Bucket (5005630)

The September 2019 LEGO Store Calendar shows a new promotion coming next week for the LEGO Storage Bucket (5005630) and we’ve gotten our hands on it a little early to show you guys if it is worth the purchase. It will be available on LEGO Shop@Home from September 23-28 with purchases of $100 or more, while supplies last.

As you may know, LEGO has been doing promotions for items that you can use everyday and their latest offering is for this storage bucket. It measures about 12 inches wide from the bottom side and about 10 inches tall. The material is pretty high quality and it retails for $25 over on their little known Carry Gear Solutions site. The bottom is made of a thicker plastic that wipes clean easily if it gets dirty. The outer part of it has four smaller pockets for addition storage room as well. Lastly, there are some handles to easily transport it around. When it’s not in use, it can collapse pretty small and can be tucked away somewhere.

LEGO Storage Bucket (5005630)

LEGO Storage Bucket (5005630)

The obvious use for this LEGO Storage Bucket is for your loose LEGO parts and you can actually store a decent amount. The outer pockets are actually big enough to fit one of the smaller sized boxes. I personally don’t know what I’ll be using it for but some of you may already have some ideas. Is it worth a $100 purchase? I don’t think so but LEGO has some good new sets available that you can easily reach that mark.… Continue

It’s September 18 and that means there are some new LEGO sets available for purchase on Shop@Home. First is the highly anticipated LEGO Creator Gingerbread House (10267) which costs $99.99 for 1,477 pieces. This is a really good deal, in my opinion, and you’ll be able to get 650 VIP points for it.

The other set that is available which isn’t for everyone is the LEGO Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer (75252). It has 4,784 pieces but it sets you back a whopping $699.99. The size of it is impressive but the interior of it is lacking the detail that we thought it would have.

LEGO Announces Rebuild The World Campaign

September 17, 2019 /

A few days ago, LEGO released a mysterious trailer for something coming soon and today they have announced Rebuild The World. It is essentially a campaign to help nurture the creative skills of the next generation.

THE LEGO GROUP WITH MARK RONSON INSPIRE KIDS TO REBUILD THE WORLD

[Billund, 17 September 2019]: Today, the LEGO Group and musician Mark Ronson launch Rebuild The World, a campaign to help nurture the creative skills of the next generation.

Over 100 children will meet Mark and other inspiring figures, such as 19-year-old David Aguilar, who built several prosthetic arms from LEGO® elements, at the LEGO House, Billund, to explore the infinite potential of creativity. Their imaginations will also be fired up in a series of workshops, where they’ll be challenged to rebuild the world they see around them.

“My whole career has been about working with brilliant, creative people and seeing where our imaginations take us. Rebuild The World, is a wonderful opportunity to help inspire the next generation of creators who will come up with their own ideas to shape the future of everything from the way we live to the music we listen to,” explains Mark Ronson.

The LEGO Group believes that every child is born with incredible creative problem-solving capabilities, but we need to act now to nurture that creativity so that it can become a lifelong skill, as the future depends on it.

Inspiring creativity is more critical and urgent than ever. The World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report places creative problem solving in

LEGO Ideas Project Submission Update

September 16, 2019 /

Last week LEGO announced some new updates to LEGO Ideas. Some of the updates are smaller quality of life ones like the product ideas statistics in which you can see how many supporters your project gets per day. Also projects now require you to add at least one tag to improve categorization and discoverability of the submission.

The main update is the Product Idea Submit Flow. As we know by now, lots of projects and ideas may be tied to a certain intellectual property and requires LEGO to go out and try to get a certain license to be able to produce the set. LEGO has changed how you are able to submit a project if it is based on a certain IP. Now when you try to submit a project, you are asked if it is based on an IP. If it is based on something, a dropdown menu will list if it is allowed or not. If it is not allowed, you won’t be able to proceed but if it is allowed, you can continue on to the next step. They have given a quick explanation of how they evaluate what IPs are good to use or not.

-Overlap with currently commercialised LEGO products (i.e. Star Wars, Ferrari, etc)
-Have already been commercialised through LEGO Ideas (i.e. Beatles Yellow Submarine, Voltron, etc)
-Don’t fit the LEGO Brand (i.e. Game of Thrones or Call of Duty, etc)
-Contain a known license conflict that prevent us from commercialising the IP (i.e. Monopoly, Transformers, etc)

LEGO Millennium Falcon AcryliKing Display Stand Review

September 14, 2019 /

AcryliKing Display Stand

There are some LEGO sets that look great as a display piece especially LEGO Star Wars sets. The folks at AcryliKing has reached out to us to take a look at their display stand for the regular Millennium Falcon. This stand is compatible with the 75105 or the 75212 versions.

When I opened the envelope from the mail, the parts for the stand are shrink wrapped into a little package. All the parts are separated by some styrofoam sheets to keep them from rubbing against each other and scratching them.

AcryliKing Display Stand

The main base itself has a good high quality feel to it. The middle of it has the AcryliKing logo but not too invasive. There are four open slots to attach the pillars to them.

AcryliKing Display Stand

There are two pillars with the Millennium Falcon printed on it. There’s also designations of the left and right pillars for the stand. It’s hard to see them on the image but they are there. Attaching to them are the parts that go to the underside of the Falcon. These are the size of 4×6 plates with some official black 1×1 LEGO round plates.

There’s also a smaller stand along with a laser cut plaque showing some of the characters from Star Wars Episode 7 as well as the Rebels symbol.

AcryliKing Display Stand

It took me a while to get it on but once the Falcon is on, it seems pretty sturdy. I will say that my left pillar is a bit loose on the stand but it’s fine so far. Because it … Continue

LEGO DC Collectible Minifigures Rumored for 2020?

September 12, 2019 /

Here’s a new juicy 2020 LEGO rumor that could be the start of something special further down the line. As we know by now, LEGO has done some licensed Collectible Minifigures series including Harry Potter and a couple waves of The Simpsons, The LEGO Batman Movie, and Disney and it looks like a new licensed theme could be joining the fray next year. According to Brick Fanatics, we could be getting a LEGO DC Collectible Minifigures series at the beginning of the year. Obviously there are tons of characters to choose from but we’ll probably also see the usual cast of DC originals like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman in new variant outfits.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this rumor but BF has some good sources so I’m going to roll with it, however, treat this as a rumor until LEGO teases something or they announce it on social media. If LEGO does release a DC series, could we also see a Marvel Collectible Minifigures series as well? Thanks to Shrek for the heads up even though it probably isn’t your real name.

*Note* – The above image is from The LEGO Batman Movie Series 2.

Rumored List of Retiring LEGO Star Wars Sets – 2019

September 9, 2019 /

Here’s something that was pretty interesting that came though my email during the weekend regarding some rumored retiring LEGO Star Wars sets. The folks at Rebelscum has reported on a rumored list of some current LEGO Star Wars products that will be retiring within the next year.

LEGO does have their own Retiring Soon page but it isn’t frequently updated until items have already been retired. It’s pretty much a guessing game of when something will be retiring since LEGO doesn’t officially announce it. The rule of thumb is sets have roughly about a two year shelf life while UCS sets have a slightly longer one depending on how popular it is.

I’m not saying this is a definitive list but Rebelscum is a trustworthy source and they wouldn’t report on something unless they are confident about it.

General Grievous Combat Speeder (75199)
Ahch-To Island Training (75200)

The LEGO Movie 2 Sets Retiring Soon?

September 3, 2019 /

Here’s an interesting article about The LEGO Movie 2 sets that came through my email this morning. Online retailer ToyPro has posted that TLM2 sets could be retiring sooner than expected. As they are a retailer, they are able to order directly from LEGO and they asked there is something going on with the sets and LEGO responded with, “The movie sets will not come back as far as I know now due to disappointing resale.”

If you’ve been on LEGO Shop@Home and on Amazon, you would have noticed that a majority of The LEGO Movie 2 sets have been on sale for a few months now. Even the D2C Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (70840) has been discounted on Amazon. If you saw the post about the first half 2019 financial results, TLM2 didn’t even crack the top five selling themes on the list. Sets usually don’t go on sale on Shop@Home unless they are retiring soon so this could be an indication that they may be gone by the beginning of the year.

Thanks to Edon for the heads up.

LEGO Lead User Lab Details

August 28, 2019 /

A few months ago, LEGO announced they are launching a new program called the Lead User Lab. This program will bring in ideas from LEGO fans themselves and potentially bringing them to life. LEGO has released a FAQ over on the LEGO Ambassador Network of some details on how the Lead User Lab will work. If you have some ideas that you would like LEGO to do, this may be of interest to you.

We’re happy to let you know that the Lead User Lab kicked-off in August. It’s early days, so you probably have a bunch of questions that need more clarity – what it is, what ideas we’re looking to incubate, what’s in it for you, ways of working, and more. Below you’ll find a quick FAQ. If we missed anything you’re curious about, let us know!

What are we up to next?

In the coming weeks, we’ll focus on fundamentals of the idea intake process and how to evaluate and prioritize them. At this stage, we’re also assessing the ideas we’ve received via email over the summer, since we first revealed the Lead User Lab on the LAN blog. We’ll let everyone know as soon as possible about the outcomes and whether we can continue with any of them in the stretching/incubation phase. High level, the Lead User Lab funnel looks like this: (1) Idea intake – (2) Stretching/Incubation – (3) Piloting – (4) Idea realization.

Lead User Lab – FAQ

1. What is the Lead User Lab?

It’s a 2 year pilot

LEGO Announces LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions

LEGO has announced a new play experience for kids who have visual impairment with the LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions. The initiative comes from 22 year old Matthew Shifrin, who is also visually impared, and it uses AI technology to give those with visual impairment more accessibility to building instructions.

The LEGO Group to pilot LEGO® Audio& Braille Instructions

Inspired by blind entrepreneur, Matthew Shifrin,the new building instructions will help children with vision impairment build and learn through play using LEGO bricks

Billund, Denmark August 28: What started as a kind gesture between friends living just outside Boston, US,is today being rolled out as a global pilot by the LEGO Group–using AI technology the initiative aims to make the LEGO play experience more accessible for those with vision impairment. We call it: LEGO® Audio& Braille Building Instructions.

The idea comes from Matthew Shifrin, who was born blind. As a child, he developed a strong passion for LEGO play. However, he always needed assistance when it came to specific LEGO building instructions.

LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions

“I had a friend, Lilya, who would write down all the building steps for me so that I could upload them into a system that allowed me to read the building steps on a Braille reader through my fingers. She learned Braille to engage with me and support my LEGO passion, and then spent countless hours translating LEGO instructions into Braille”.

Shifrin would pore over his customized instructions to create models such as the LEGO Creator Expert Sydney Opera House and London Tower

LEGO has started a new gift with purchase promotion on Shop@Home for an item that is still currently available for purchase. With purchases of $65 or more, you can get the LEGO BrickHeadz Bumble Bee (40270) for free which I think they are trying to get rid of some inventory.

LEGO The Simpsons Rumor from 2019 D23 Expo

August 26, 2019 /

LEGO The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart (71016)

A few years ago, LEGO surprisingly released some sets for The Simpsons TV show along with a couple of Collectible Minifigure series. The theme was very short-lived but it was pretty popular among fans. As we know by now, Disney acquired 21st Century Fox earlier this year so in turn, Disney owns The Simpsons. You’ll be able to stream the series on Disney+ when it launches in November.

The 2019 D23 Expo was this past weekend and there was a Simpsons panel there where creator Matt Groening was one of the guests. Of course, there was a Q&A session and it was reported that someone asked if there will be more LEGO The Simpsons sets and he responded “it is likely.” I’m not sure if the question was really asked but it was news that someone forwarded to me a few days ago and it’s worth taking a look at.

Obviously, LEGO had a partnership with Fox to produce some sets including a BrickHeadz set that had a very short shelf life last year so it’s a matter of whether LEGO intends to make more or not. LEGO also has a great relationship with Disney as well and I don’t see why they couldn’t reach out for a possibility to make more sets. Also the original tweet was deleted so that is a major red flag. Either it was a fake tweet and they decided not to keep it up or it they were asked to remove it because the creators weren’t supposed to talk about … Continue

New LEGO Magnet Sets Revealed

LEGO Magnet Set

LEGO has recently released some new LEGO Wall Hanger Sets to decorate your home with and it looks like there are more home products coming soon that you may be interested in. Room Copenhagen has revealed some new LEGO Magnet Sets that you can use around the house.

Decorative and colorful magnets are shaped as round and square LEGO elements. They are ideal for display of drawings, postcards or notes. The classic design links perfectly to the creative universe of LEGO and it extends the the LEGO adventure.

If you ordered from the BrickLink AFOL Designer Program, they have been steadily shipping out.

Amazon is back with another round of sales for The LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (70840). It is discounted 15% or $44.81 off which marks it down to only $255.18. As I have said many times before, direct-to-consumer sets usually aren’t discounted that much and when you find a deal, it is best to jump on it as it only lasts a very short time.

LEGO Hidden Side Newbury’s Juice Bar (40336) Reported Purchase Criteria

August 23, 2019 /

LEGO Hidden Side Newbury's Juice Bar (40336)

A few days ago, I reported that the LEGO Hidden Side Newbury’s Juice Bar (40336) promotional set will be coming in September but didn’t know the criteria for getting it. I have just gotten word that it will be a gift-with-purchase set of $50 or more in general and not just limited to the Hidden Side sets.

This is actually good because a lot of you have already bought the Hidden Side sets and don’t have to buy something you already have. It would have been better if this promo was ran during the launch of the sets but I’m not a marketing person. The promotional period is reported to be from September 2-15 but we’ll confirm all this information when the September 2019 Store Calendar is available next week.

LEGO Releases Statement on LEGO Ideas Archived Projects

August 23, 2019 /

Earlier this week, I reported that two projects that reached the Second 2019 Review Stage have archived for unknown reasons. These two projects are Gravity Falls and Japanese Tea Garden. LEGO has released a statement on the LEGO Ambassador Network regarding this and they said,

Although questions haven’t directly come in via LAN, I can understand there are some questions about the recent archival of the two LEGO Ideas 10K Club submissions Japanese Tea Gardens and Gravity Falls Mystery Shack.

It’s incredibly rare that we make the decision to remove submissions that have achieved the 10,000 supporter milestone and to not allow them through to the review stage. Unfortunately, after a thorough evaluation we made the tough decision (because we can clearly see that both models are incredibly well built) that in these two cases we had to do this as the submissions did not comply with our Terms of Service. We couldn’t, in respect to the LEGO Ideas community, move the submissions into the review stage as well as award prizes, whether the main prize or the consolation prize, to the members in question.

Although we know that you’re all very interested in knowing the specific underlying reasons for why we decided to archive them, this is not information that I can share with you out of respect for the privacy of the members in question. Should the members in question choose to share the reason for the archival of their submissions, then they are welcome to do so.

Unfortunately, the statement didn’t give … Continue

LEGO Ideas Projects Archived Before Review Stage

August 19, 2019 /

It’s another day and there’s another controversy has popped up over on LEGO Ideas. Yesterday while I was reporting on The Seven Dwarf’s House hitting 10,000 supporters, I along with some readers noticed that a couple of projects that previously also hit 10k were removed from the list and have been archived. These two sets include Gravity Falls Mystery Shack and Japanese Tea Garden. The official LEGO comments for both projects said:

Regretfully, we have chosen to archive your project and no longer consider it for production for reasons communicated to you privately. Your project will remain visible on LEGO Ideas, but in a status where it can no longer be supported or commented on. This way fans can still admire your creation.

We’re sorry to be the bearers of this disappointing news!

Unless I’m wrong, I believe this is the first time that I’ve seen projects that have achieved enough supporters and have been archived even before the review stage has started. I’m not too sure of the reasoning to not consider them for production since they seem to be normal looking models.

The most logical guess is that LEGO has already planned to release them in the future and to avoid people accusing them of “stealing” ideas, they archive it before even going into review however going this route may be a dead giveaway. I guess we’ll never truly know why unless the fan designers say something but they’re probably under NDA not to say anything about it. Put your tinfoil hats on … Continue

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.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Dog Sitter

– Easiest thing is to feel for the two dogs.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Video Game Champ

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

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

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.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Rugby Player

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

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Bear Costume Guy

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

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Pizza Costume Guy

– The large pizze piece, ’nuff said.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Galactic Bounty Hunter

– I would suggest feeling for the gun.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

Monkey King

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

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

LEGOLAND California 2020

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

LEGO.com Website Update

August 16, 2019 /

LEGO Website Update

If you went to LEGO Shop@Home 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.

LEGO has put up a product listing for a complete box of the Series 2 LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures (71024) on Shop@Home. I believe this is the first time ever that LEGO has done that for any minifigure series. The box goes for $239.99 and if nothing has changed, it’ll have two complete sets of 16 minifigures. I’m not sure if LEGO will be doing this again for future minifigure releases or not but it’s nice to see something different.

LEGO Masters Contestant Perk Details

August 15, 2019 /

LEGO Masters

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.

If anyone is interested, feel free to email me directly and I can forward your details to the producers directly.

August 12, 2019 /

The LEGO Ideas theme keeps growing bigger and bigger and we now have the largest set that has come out of the crowdsourcing theme with the LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318). It contains a whopping 3,036 pieces and retails for $199.99 and it is now available for purchase. Let’s take a look at it to see if it is worthy of the price tag. The contents of the box include a total of 31 bags, 21 of which are numbered to 19 and the rest for the leaves. There’s also a large instruction booklet containing 428 pages.

LEGO Picnic Blanket (5006016) Promotion Now Available

LEGO Picnic Blanket (5006016)

LEGO has been doing some premium gift with purchases and their latest one is for a Picnic Blanket (5006016). It is available with purchases of $199 or more on Shop@Home only from now until August 25. I’m not sure how the material feels like but it seems like it’s made of higher quality fabric and it is LEGO branded. The promotion for the Canvas Tote Bag is still going on as well so if you spend $200, you can get both promo items at the same time. I would’ve held off on my purchase from before if I knew this was coming out as well. Lesson learned.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025) Reported Box Distribution

August 12, 2019 /

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

A few weeks ago, the Series 19 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71025) were revealed and they would be released in September. I would have assumed that RLFM sites would have reviews up but instead a YouTuber named The Brick Shack has managed to order a few boxes early to do their own review of it and they have provided the box distribution of the set. Keep in mind that these are not the official names of the characters because technically LEGO hasn’t announced them yet.

There will be three complete sets per box and it was reported that the first two rows of an unopened box will have full sets of 16. Obviously there are 20 per row so finding two full sets in the first two rows shouldn’t be that hard.

If you somehow still don’t have the LEGO Ideas Pop-up Book (21315), Amazon has it on sale for a price that probably won’t be beaten in the near future.

Updated LEGO VIP Program – One Month Later

August 10, 2019 /

It has been exactly one month since the new LEGO VIP Program went live and it hasn’t went as smoothly as fans wanted it to be. As its current iteration, it has been met with more negative responses and positive ones.

First is the conversion system from dollars to points. For the US, it is 6.5 points per dollar but a lot of people still are still confused to why they are not getting an 1:1 ratio. Technically we still are but it’s just more convoluted since we have to convert it to the Danish Krone.

Another problem was that a lot of people still haven’t been able to switch over to the new program. I’ve saw a customer in store that was ready to make a purchase but was met with this problem as their account wasn’t found and I’m not sure if they ever completed the transaction. This is actually a pretty big problem because people want to earn points with their purchase but they can’t since their account doesn’t work. People would rather shop somewhere else like Amazon where discounts are almost always present.

Next up are the rewards. LEGO updated the program to give people more control on how they spent their points. The main thing is using the points to get a discount on a purchase but you had to redeem it before you go to the store but before you could just just the discount there. This adds another step which wasn’t really needed in the first place.

Record Number of Guests at LEGO House This Summer

August 1, 2019 /

LEGO has released a press release about the LEGO House which states that there is a record number of guests attending the attraction this summer. Ticket sales have surpassed last year’s numbers by 30-40% and there have been days where the LEGO House has been completely sold out.

Record number of guests at LEGO® House this summer

New visitor record this summer in LEGO® House. Despite hot days, guests have booked tickets over the past five weeks, exceeding last summer’s figures by 30-40%.

At the start of the summer holidays, the previous record week was the Easter week in April. But that record was broken in week 30 (also week 29 was very close) and several times this summer LEGO House has had to report completely sold out.

Jesper Vilstrup, CEO of LEGO House says: “The feedback from our guests is that we create an absolutely fantastic LEGO experience for both children and adults, and the guests are fortunately sharing their experience in LEGO House with family and friends. Many people share their experiences via social media, and we can clearly see that the awareness about LEGO House has increased over the past year, which I am convinced is one of the reasons for the great visitor numbers. Now guests simply have a better idea of what LEGO House is.”

LEGO House opened its doors to the public for the first time in September 2017, and since then, visitor numbers have only gone up. Last summer was the first high season at the attraction, and although

LEGO Hidden Side App Now Available

July 31, 2019 /

LEGO Hidden Side High School (70425)

To prepare for the official release of the LEGO Hidden Side sets here in the US tomorrow, LEGO has also launched the LEGO Hidden Side app. You can now download it for Android and for iOS for free. The app is augmented reality based and you can use it alongside the sets to make them come alive on screen. There are a number of ghosts that you can fight and collect within the app. I’m sure many will not bother with it as the sets will be popular since it’s horror themed but it’s additional features that kids can enjoy.

LEGO Releases Building Instructions for SDCC 2019 Exclusive Sets

July 29, 2019 /

The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903)

I’m not sure if this was a response to us or just pure coincidence but LEGO has released the building instructions for all three San Diego Comic Con 2019 exclusive sets. Usually LEGO doesn’t do this as none from previous years have been released by LEGO themselves but from the fan community. Anyways, you can download them in high quality below.

LEGO VIP Reward Terms Changed

July 28, 2019 /

LEGO VIP 2019-2

The new LEGO VIP Program has been running for a few weeks and it has been met with mixed reactions in the fan community. One of the downsides it had when you redeemed a reward was that you had only 30 days to use it or else your points and rewards were lost forever. LEGO has made a change to this and has extended it from 30 days to 60 days to give you flexibility on when you can use it. As of this writing, the terms still haven’t been changed so I would suggest waiting after it has been changed before you redeem anything.

We’ve listened to our fans and are extending the reward redemption terms from 30 days to 60 days. This includes discount rewards in our LEGO Stores, for phone orders, and on shop.LEGO.com. Please be patient as we work to change the terms on the VIP Rewards Center. There may be some exclusions to this policy, such as rewards that are redeemable with our partners or where legally we cannot change the terms (i.e. sweepstakes).

LEGO DC The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903) SDCC 2019 Building Instructions

July 27, 2019 /

The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903)

During San Diego Comic Con 2019, LEGO released the LEGO DC The Dark Knight of Gotham City (77903) for attendees who were able to get in the exclusive lottery. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to win any of the lotteries but luckily for us, my friend Jason was able to get the set and has provided us with the instructions to share with you guys. LEGO usually doesn’t provide the instructions for SDCC exclusives so we have to rely on the community to provide them.

The build consists of 427 pieces and has 74 steps. The build does have one exclusive piece that I know of with the printed tile of the Batman 80 Years logo. You can either use the images below to help with the build or you can download the PDF here.

There was a lot of news to catch up on since I’ve been gone for the past few days to SDCC. I’ll do a recap of the event shortly but first some news that I missed.

As a thank you to all our Master Builders we’ve amassed a humongous bundle of minifigures, brick builds, props and more for you to craft even more lavish LEGO creations and continue your exciting adventures.

LEGO DC SDCC 2019 Zebra Batman Minifigure Review

LEGO DC SDCC 2019 Zebra Batman

Yesterday was the last day for the LEGO minifigure giveaways at San Diego Comic Con 2019 and it was for the LEGO DC Zebra Batman. The card on the front shows the Batman 80th anniversary logo on the top right and the SDCC 50 logo. The back of it has an advertisement for the LEGO DC Super Villains video game.

LEGO DC SDCC 2019 Zebra Batman

As for Zebra Batman himself, both sides of the torso have black stripes all over it. The front has the bat symbol and the belt is printed gold. The front of the legs and feet also have the stripes. This will be a common theme with this minifigure. The head is plain white with black lines to show the detailing for it like with the headband and his face. He does have a double-sided head and they are the usual grumpy and angry expressions. The cowl also has some stripes on the front and sides. Lastly, he has a white cape, also with stripes on the outer side.

Overall, the Zebra Batman is an interesting choice for the 80th anniversary of Batman since there are so many variants LEGO could have picked for this exclusive. Personally, I would have like to seen the Terry McGinnis Batman Beyond or the Kevin Conroy from The Animated Series since they are more well known.

For me this one was my least favorite out of this year’s SDCC selection and if I wasn’t able to get it, I wasn’t too worried about it. Since the line for the giveaway was … Continue

LEGO Stranger Things SDCC 2019 Barb

Today is the second day of San Diego Comic Con 2019 and LEGO’s minifigure giveaway is for the LEGO Stranger Things Barb. The way the giveaway was done was the same as yesterday for the Advanced Suit Spider-Man except for a couple of things. First is that the time changed from 9:30am start time to 8:30am so I’m going to assume it’ll be like that tomorrow as well for the Zebra Batman. Also they added another iPad to make the line go a lot faster and I was out of the line by 9:00.

As for the packaging, it’s the same clamshell style as before. The card features the LEGO Stranger Things logo along with the SDCC 50 years on the bottom left. The back side has an advertisement for The Upside Down (75810).

LEGO Stranger Things SDCC 2019 Barb

As you can see above, my card has scribbles all over it. That is because the LEGO designer of The Upside Down, Justin Ramsden, was in town and he had a signing event at the LEGO booth so I headed there to get my signed along with many other fans. My inscription shows, “To The Brick Fan”, along with a speech bubble that says “Help”. All of it including the signature is written upside down.

As for the Barb minifigure itself, she is wearing the pink plaid ruffle shirt that is knotted on the top. The legs are just her blue jeans with some printing of the button and pockets. She has a double-sided head showing her with glasses and having … Continue

The first official day of San Diego Comic Con 2019 is now over, at least for me, and LEGO’s minifigure giveaway today was for the LEGO Marvel Advanced Suit Spider-Man from the hit PlayStation 4 game. The way the minifigure was given away was reverted back to before where everyone waited their turn on the iPad to see if they won or not. There are some new changed that have been implemented to the way the giveaway was done. First was the time change to ~9:30am from 12pm from previous years. Also the amount of people who were able to win has been increased dramatically. According to the rules sign that was posted, for every five people that went in, four would win and it showed.

LEGO Marvel SDCC 2019 Advanced Suit Spider-Man

As for the Advanced Suit Spider-Man minifigure, it comes in the same clamshell as before. The front of the card shows the Spider-Man logo from the game as well as the SDCC50 logo at the bottom left. The back of the card shows the Marvel Gamerverse logo and the legal jargon.

The eyes on Spider-Man’s head have some silver metallic around the upper part of it. The rest of the head has some webs on the front as well as on the back. There is a large white spider on both sides of the torso to go along with the classic red and blue color scheme. The legs have some of the red on the side and there’s also some red toe printing.

You may have probably seen images of the upcoming LEGO Ideas Treehouse (21318) set floating around the internet the past few days.

One of the features of the set include a number of leaf pieces that are made from the Plants from Plants initiative and there’s even a second set of leaves to switch out to an autumn setting.

Update: I’ve been directed to the bottom right corner which states this set is an “Early Release Edition” so it’s possible that it could be released again later on. If so, my bet is at Target since they did the Darth Vader Bust and plus they like to sell products that have red color variants.

LEGO VIP 2019

The new LEGO VIP Program is now live and there are some new things to look forward to including exclusive rewards and sweepstakes. First off, all the VIP points you had are now converted to points to use to redeem items in the rewards center. Some of these items include art prints and exclusive promotional items like the VIP set as well as the LEGO DC Super Heroes Bat-Pod which costs 15,000. As you can see from the image below, I redeemed it using my points but it seems to be glitchy as I should’ve received a promo code to use during checkout but I didn’t get it. I’ve already contacted customer service to see what they say about it.

There are now more ways to earn points besides just making purchases. Some of these things include social media activities like retweeting or sharing posts as well as just clicking on emails that come in from LEGO. Points from your purchases are converted as follows:

US $1 = 6.5 points
CAD $1 = 5 points
£1 = 8 points
€1 = 7.5 points
AU $1 = 4.5 points
NZ $1 = 4 points
10 zl = 1.5 points

Expanding the LEGO Winter Village Book Review

July 8, 2019 /

Expanding the LEGO Winter Village

I’ve been sent over a copy of a brand new book that came out called Expanding the LEGO Winter Village by Charles Pritchett which gives you some builds to help supplement your Winter Village setting. The book has 150 pages and it is currently available for purchase on Paperback and for the Amazon Kindle.

There are six different builds that are provided which include step-by-step instructions along with the list of parts and quantities needed to create that particular model. The colors are very bright and easy to distinguish and I will say that it might be better than the colors used in official LEGO instructions for sets.

There’s also a short read on how to get the parts if you don’t have them already. Obviously this section is for LEGO fans who just got into the hobby as most seasoned veterans already know the ins and outs on how to do it.

As for the builds, there’s a Town Fountain, Horse & Sleigh, Classic Car, Old Truck, Photos with Santa, and Ski & Snowboard Shop. Each build shows you how many parts are needed and the dimensions of the model. As I said before, the instructions are very clear and the finished models are actually very good looking ones that can easily integrate into your Winter Village.

Again Expanding the LEGO Winter Village is now available for purchase on Paperback and for the Amazon Kindle. Thanks to Charles for sending over a copy for me to look at.

LEGO DC Batman - Family Matters

The Sunday schedule for San Diego Comic Con 2019 is now live and the last day is mostly centered towards the younger audience and there will be one panel for the world premiere for LEGO DC Batman: Family Matters. The panel will be held in Room 6BCF from 2:15-4:15 pm. The description of the panel doesn’t show there will be a giveaway for being in attendance but usually they give something away during a LEGO animated movie. Hopefully it’s not the Ultimate Batmobile polybag from The LEGO Batman Movie.

Batman, Robin, and Batgirl must stick together even when Gotham’s most dangerous villains attempt to pull them apart in LEGO DC: Batman: Family Matters, the latest animated adventure in the LEGO DC series. Witness the World Premiere of this action-packed, brick-tastic adventure that will be followed by a star-studded panel of actors and filmmakers, including the voices of Batman, Batgirl, and Robin—Troy Baker (Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman: Arkham Origins), Alyson Stoner (Phineas and Ferb) and Scott Menville (Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!)—along with Jason Spisak (Young Justice) as Red Hood, Tara Strong (Batman: The Animated Series, Teen Titans, Teen Titans Go!) as Batwoman, and Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars Rebels) as Scarecrow. Filmmakers include producer Rick Morales (LEGO Scooby-Doo!: Haunted Hollywood), director Matt Peters (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Aquaman: Rage of Atlantis), and screenwriter Jeremy Adams (LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: The Flash).
