Later after the first day, there was a thing called Bowling for Bricks at Arnold’s Family Fun Center. The first game was sort of a relay where teams had to bowl and build at the same time. One person would bowl and another person would build and the first team to complete the build wins. Unfortunately my team lost that game. The second game was for the highest team score. My team consisted of Chris (Bricks4Chris), Dan (Classy Bricks), Mark, and me. The prize that I got was the LEGO City Auto Transporter (60060) which I had to break down because it wouldn’t fit in my suitcase.

After everyone left the bowling alley, me, Chris, Dan, and Chad had our own little competition for who can bowl the first strike. The prize for this game was the LEGO Racers Race Rig (8162). Somehow I rolled the very first strike but Chris ended up tying me. In the second frame to everyone’s surprise, I rolled another strike while Chris barely missed, hitting 9 out of the 10 pins.

The LEGO Movie How It Should Have Ended

There is a new video from the web series How It Should Have Ended in conjunction with Brotherhood Workshop which features The LEGO Movie. Superman and Batman are at a restaurant and Superman discusses why he and other Super Heroes and Master Builders were taken out so easily. He notes that he should have broken out of the gum and used his powers to defeat the worker drone army and save the day. Check out the hilarious video below with a cameo by Green Lantern.

LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108) Box Art and Set Comparison

Brent Waller has recently received his copy of the official LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108) set and he has uploaded images comparing his LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas project to the official set designed by Marcos Bessa. As we mentioned yesterday the Ecto-1 will be available on June 1st for $49.99. We can now see the official packaging of the set which looks freaking amazing and no longer has the LEGO CUUSOO branding. The back of the box shows the car as well as Ray, Peter, and Winston crossing the streams of their particle beams. The back of the box also commemorates the 30th anniversary of the movie. Check out the images of the original project submission (left) and official set (right) below.

LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles Premieres This Weekend

LEGO Star Wars The New Yoda Chronicles

Last year, we were introduced to the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles which was a four part animated series on Cartoon Network. We were also introduced to a new character named Jek-14 who as a Force-sensitive Sith clone created by Count Dooku.

There is now a new Disney series that is renamed to LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles which is set to air this Saturday on Disney Channel at 9pm ET/PT and Sunday on Disney XD at 7pm ET/PT. Watch Disney XD users will get a first look at the episode tomorrow, Friday May 2nd. The New Yoda Chronicles has the same kind humor as previous LEGO Star Wars shows. The first episode is titled “Escape from the Jedi Temple.”

As seen in the trailer, the Emperor debuts his new theme — “The Imperial March” — and doesn’t react well at its lukewarm reception. Han, Chewie, Luke, Leia, Yoda, and the entire gang (including a blaster-toting C-3PO) are back, ready to take on Darth Vader and the Empire.

LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005) Review

Last year, it was rumored that The LEGO Group was negotiating a licensing agreement with 20th Century Fox to produce sets based on The Simpsons animated cartoon series. Some people in the LEGO community applauded this move while others did not approve of this. Fast forward to this year, LEGO released The Simpsons House (71006) back in February and today, LEGO has released a line of LEGO Minifigures based on the popular TV series. The official name for this series is LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005).
