One of my Twitter followers sent a tweet of what looks to be a new LEGO Friends accessory pack consisting of 39 pieces with a set number of 850968. It looks to be a camping set featuring one of the new Friends characters, Naya, in a outdoorsy outfit. Naya can also be found in the Heartlake Juice Bar (41035) and the LEGO Friends Character Encyclopedia
Update: Friends Bricks on Twitter has informed us that it was found in the UK as a Jungle Tent Accessory pack.
In preparation of the release of the summer 2014 wave of the LEGO Star Wars sets, LEGO has released a commercial featuring a few of the sets including the B-Wing (75050) and the Imperial Star Destroyer (75055). In another commercial, it shows the Battle of Hoth from Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and features the Snowspeeder (75049) and the AT-AT (75054). In the clips, you can somewhat see some of the play features of the sets. These summer wave sets should start showing up in stores in late July/August.
With the recent release of Series 2 of the LEGO Mixels, the Calling All Mixels app has also gone a major update to include the newest Mixels to the lineup. There are also new lands for you to explore and objectives to complete. If you already have the app downloaded, you can just update it to get the latest content. If you don’t have the game yet, it is $3.99 on Google Play and $1.99 on iTunes.
Brickset has reported on a new LEGO Legends of Chima polybag (30265) featuring Worriz on a bike. The set was discovered on Russian site Mir Kubikov and the bike has a very similar look to the DC Universe Robin and Redbird Cycle (30166). It will fit in with the Summer 2014 wave of Chima sets and we can probably expect to see it here in the US later this year.
The new LEGO Ultra Agent sets are now available in stores and the one that really stood out for me was the Infearno Interception (70162). The set contains 313 pieces and retails for $29.99 for a $0.10/piece ratio. The box contains two numbered bags, an instruction booklet, and a small sticker sheet. With the Ultra Agents sets, LEGO is also promoting the FREE interactive story app on Google Play (Review).

Deadline is reporting that RADiUS-TWC has acquired worldwide rights, excluding France, Germany, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Brazil, to the first official feature-length documentary about the world of LEGO, Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary. The film recently premiered last month at the Tribeca Film Festival with Daniel Junge and Kief Davidson directing and Jason Bateman narrating. RADiUS co-presidents Tom Quinn and Jason Janego notes, “We’ve been looking for a film that families can enjoy together, and BEYOND THE BRICK surpasses all of those expectations. The movie is an amazing ride and will appeal to Lego fans around the world.”
Beyond the Brick features a number of builders in the LEGO community including Alice Finch and her son, Thorin, who is seen in the first scene of the movie in their LEGO room. The film focuses on the impact of LEGO and the fan community, both kids and AFOLs, who share their love of the brick.
LEGO movies have been a hot commodity in recent months with The LEGO Movie grossing $461 million worldwide and with a sequel planned for May 2017. There’s also a report that a LEGO Ninjago movie will make its theatrical premiere in September 2016. It’ll be cool to finally be able to see Beyond the Brick: A LEGO Brickumentary in theaters in the near future.
