Brickworld Chicago 2016 is over but one of the more spectacular things to see is the traditional “World of Lights” event that takes place. If you’re not familiar with World of Lights, it takes place after the public is gone and the lights are turned off. The only source of light are from the builds that have lights included.
The Brick Show has taken photos and video of some of this year’s builds for BrickWorld Chicago which you can check out below.

LEGO will be releasing another retro-type set that pays homage to some of the original LEGO themes and for this year, it will be the Classic Knights (5004419) set. There are now official images of the set from Brick Merge which shows some closer details of the Classic Knights set.
Like with the 2014 Classic Spaceman Minifigure (5002812) and the 2015 Classic Pirates Minifigure (5003082) sets, the Classic Knights (5004419) set will contain a minifigure from a particular theme and in this case, a Crusader Knight from the LEGO Castle theme. The build itself is a small ballista that is very similar to the 1986 Siege Cart (6012) but with updated parts. There’s also a small booklet showing off some of the various knights that LEGO has released throughout the years.
The Classic Knights (5004419) set will be available starting June 30-July 10 with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Brand Stores and on SHop@Home.
Just revealed over on HelloBricks is a new exclusive LEGO Ninjago Cole (5004393) in his stone armor. The packaging is similar to the LEGO Nexo Knights Royal Guard (5004390) promotional minifigure that will be given out next month with the LEGO 2016 Wall Calendar voucher. It’s a small box that opens up in the middle to reveal the minifigure. It’s cool that this type of packaging isn’t an one-off thing for the Royal Guard. As far as how to get the Cole (5004393) minifigure, that is unsure at this time but I’ll definitely let you know when details are available.

The last of the LEGO Inside Tour 2016 has concluded and we can finally show the exclusive set that was given out to attendees of the event. Jan Beyer over on Facebook has posted images of the LEGO Truck Show (4000022) which is a national truck tour that started out in 1998. The truck itself is able to open up and show the stuff on the inside and it also includes eight minifigures.
It’s a really cool looking set but if you weren’t one of the LEGO Inside Tour attendees, expect to pay a hefty price for it on the secondary market. Check out a review of the LEGO Truck Show (4000022) over on the Lego with Daniel and Oriel YouTube channel which I’ve embedded below.
It may appear that the voice actors for The LEGO Ninjago Movie has been revealed in a tweet earlier today which shows an image of some sort of Warner Bros. catalog of upcoming films. The cast list as follows:
Master Wu – Jackie Chan
Lloyd – Dave Franco
Kai – Michael Pena
Nya – Abbi Jacobson
Jay – Kumail Nanjiani
Zane – Zach Woods
Cole – Fred Armisen
The image also shows off some new outfits for the ninjas but those could just be a placeholder. The synopsis and the release date of September 22, 2017 shown also matches up to what has been reported before. Of course there’s still a long time until the movie is released so anything can change but so far, that is what is going on with The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
Ninjago is the story of six young ninja tasked with defending their island home, called Ninjago. By night, they’re gifted warriors, using their skills and awesome fleet of vehicles to fight villains and monsters. By day, they’re ordinary teens struggling against their greatest enemy: high school.
