LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
There always comes a time when a LEGO builder has to take down a build that they’ve cherished for a long time. This is what Sean and Steph Mayo, aka Siercon and Coral, has done with their Faerie Forest. Since they are moving soon, it had to be dismantled but it’s also a bittersweet moment. Hopefully we’ll get to see another forest build from them in the future. Check out the death of the Faerie Forest below. Be prepared to shed a tear.
There is a image on NeoGAF of what could be the box art for The LEGO Movie “Everything is Awesome Edition” Blu-Ray. The box shows Emmet on the cover as well as a image of what the exclusive LEGO Vitruvius minifigure looks like. This version of the Blu-Ray also includes DVD, Digital HD Ultraviolet, as well as the bonus 3D version and has tons of extras. This image seems to go along with the information we got yesterday of which version the Blu-Ray the Vitruvius minifig will be in.
Doing some research, Walmart could be the retailer that will be stocking the “Everything is Awesome Edition.” The page lists the Blu-Ray as well as the LEGO Minifigure. The retail price is $45.99 but they have a pre-order for $41.38. Will the price dissuade you from picking up the movie with the minifig?
There is a new Groupon for a LEGO event called Brick Fest Live that will be held in New Jersey in July. Below are the details of the event.

Brickset has gotten some information regarding the exclusive minifigure that will be included with The LEGO Movie DVD. Someone wrote in to Huw and stated that it will be the young version of Vitruvius that is the exclusive. He will have normal eyes, a grey headband, a printed amulet, and robes. It was also stated that he will only be available in the Collector’s Edition DVD/Blu-Ray/3D/Digital copy off the movie. So far, there is no retailer listing the Blu-Ray with the Vitruvius minifigure but Amazon
“A friend of mine just took a survey about the collector’s edition of the LEGO movie, and showed me an image of the package, including the exclusive mini figure. It’s the prologue version of Vitruvious with normal eyes, wearing a grey headband, has a printed amulet and robes. It appears that it’s only included with the collector’s edition that includes DVD, Blu Ray, 3D and digital copy of the movie.”
Update: A user on the Blu-Ray forums pretty much confirms that WB will have a Collector’s Edition called the “Everything is Awesome” edition.

If you read my review of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Martian Manhunter (5002126) minifigure a few weeks ago, you would’ve seen that we were doing a giveaway for one of these guys. As we have reported, this minifigure is no longer available for the LEGO Shop@Home promotion for both the US and Canada due to overwhelming demand not even two weeks into the month. We also stated that the Martian Manhunter could still be available in stores and a few people have emailed in saying their stores still had some.
Our giveaway has ended and the lucky person to get the polybag is Zack Thompson whose email entry was the winner. You have 5 business days to contact us on Facebook or email us at [email protected] with your info.
We are working on another giveaway for something totally different so stay tuned!
With the news that a LEGO version of the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (21108) becoming an official set, many people have took it upon themselves to build their own Firehouse Headquarters to have it ready for when the vehicle is available this summer. Sergio Herencias is one of these people. From inspiration from Dr. Dave Watford and Brent Waller, he has created his version the Firehouse which is a hybrid of both Ghostbusters movies. From the descriptions, the building is 38cm x 33.6cm x 17.5cm and consists of 3467 pieces. The total time it took for him to build was around 20 hours. The floors are removable and it also includes lights from LifeLites. Sergio also has plans to include lights in the Ecto-1 as well. Check out the timelapse video of him building his Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters MOC below.
