LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
Late night news coming out of Deadline.com is that The LEGO Movie 2 has been pushed back to February 2, 2019. This is the second time the sequel to the highly popular movie has been pushed back with the original release date of May 26, 2017, then to May 18, 2018. There was no reason why Warner Bros. decided to move the movie back along with a couple of other ones but we still have The LEGO Batman Movie and the LEGO Ninjago movie to look forward to in 2017.
There is now a set description for the upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum (76060) on Shop@Home. We now know the minifigures that will be included in the set which are Doctor Strange, Baron Karl Mordo, and The Ancient One. The description also mentions the portal beast being in the set which could be Shuma Gorath but it doesn’t directly say.
Although there is an image of the instructions booklet for the set, I would rather wait until the official images come out later to post them. Thanks to Troy for the heads up.

In the past few days, TT Games has been releasing images and videos as well as content of some of the upcoming IPs that will be included in year 2 of LEGO Dimensions at E3 2016. In yesterday’s livestream at E3 2016, they showed off some more of images.
If you didn’t see the official announcement last week, there are 16 new IPs that will be coming to LEGO Dimensions including: Adventure Time, Mission: Impossible, The A-Team, Ghostbusters, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The LEGO Batman Movie, Harry Potter, The Goonies, Sonic The Hedgehog, Teen Titans Go!, LEGO City Undercover, Knight Rider, The Powerpuff Girls, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
Like with the previous year, the expansion packs will be coming in a number of waves starting in September, November, January, and March.
One of the main things the’ve highlighted is the new Battle Arenas feature which is a competitive gameplay that consists of up to four players. All of the the upcoming and previous characters will be able to be used in the Battle Arenas which themselves have four game modes including Capture the Flag.
News about the year 2 content of LEGO Dimensions will continue coming out this summer as we head towards the release in September. I wouldn’t be totally surprised if TT Games makes an appearance at San Diego Comic Con next month with more reveals so stay tuned for that.
E3 2016 is still going on and TT Games is still promoting the new wave of LEGO Dimensions content. In today’s interview with IGN, Arthur Parsons has revealed that there will be a couple more Story Packs that will be coming in the the future including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as well as The LEGO Batman Movie.
We knew there was going to be a Fantastic Beasts pack but it’s cool that it’s a Story Pack to play out the upcoming movie. The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack was really interesting because I would’ve thought that it might be a standalone game but being part of LEGO Dimensions is neat.
Further along in the interview, Arthur also mentioned that in the Goonies pack, you can play as all the Goonies as well as Sloth. Check out the full 9-minute IGN interview below.

Build a lot with a little in the “new LEGO bible”
Tiny LEGO WondersSan Francisco, CA (June 14, 2016) — While some LEGO models require thousands of pieces, anyone can make an impressive replica with fewer than 10 bricks, a dash of creativity, and the latest book from No Starch Press.
Hailed as the “new LEGO bible” by VICE, Tiny LEGO Wonders (No Starch Press, $24.95, 208 pp., July 2016) is a collection of step-by-step building instructions for 40 compact yet realistic miniscale models—each built with fewer than a few hundred bricks. Packed with stunning models of engineering feats like a muscle car, a fire engine, a Swiss locomotive, and wooden ships, Tiny LEGO Wonders teaches readers how to make the most of their LEGO collection, no matter its size.
The pint-sized models in Tiny LEGO Wonders include:
A space shuttle and crawler-transporter
Emergency vehicles like choppers, police cars, and fire trucks
A cruise ship, freighter, and wooden ships
An Airbus A380, F-15 Eagle, and V-22 Osprey
Flatbed trucks and cement mixers
Race cars like the McLaren F1 and Ferrari F1
A fleet of sci-fi military vehicles
Bullet trains like France’s high-speed TGV trainAccording to No Starch Press founder Bill Pollock, “Miniscale building has fascinated me since I watched a friend build an airport from a cupful of LEGO bricks. Tiny LEGO Wonders finally makes miniscale building make sense.”
Earlier today over on Twitch, Arthur Parsons and James Mcloughlin from TT Games showed of some of the gameplay of the LEGO Dimensions Ghostbusters Story Pack (71242). The pack tells the story of the upcoming Ghostbusters movie but you can also see other franchises mixed in with it. In the demo, you can also see some other characters being used like Jake from the Adventure Time Team Pack (71206) and Stripe from a future Gremlins pack. Check out the video in the link above.
