April’s issue of MAD Magazine will get the LEGO treatment. Entertainment Weekly has revealed April 2014’s cover of the magazine and it features Alfred E. Neuman as a LEGO minifigure. There’s no word on what the issue is about but it will be LEGO related. As we all know, MAD offers satire as it’s main genre of literature so we can expect it to be fairly humorous. The LEGO issue will be available at newstands on February 25th.
The big day is now here! The LEGO Movie premieres today at theaters throughout the United States and some of you may have already seen it. Even before the weekend, the movie is already Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 97% Fresh rating as of this writing.
There are many promotions that are going on that is related to the movie. First is all the goodies you could get even before you start watching the movie. Regal Cinemas and AMC Theaters are giving out exclusive minifigure polybags with RealD 3D ticket purchases. Check out the offers here.
If you’re into LEGO video games, then you’ll be glad to know that The LEGO Movie Video Game is also available today. The game is available at Gamestop, Walmart
, and Best Buy
. Unfortunatly, the bonus offers were only available for pre-orders. I picked up mine at Best Buy and the Pyjamas Emmet polybag was packaged individually. I’m not sure if other stores were packaged the same or not. The game also includes a $7.50 voucher for a movie ticket purchase. I’ll be reviewing the game as soon as I complete it. Check out the launch trailer below.
Finally, McDonalds has also gotten into the promotion game with some Action Cups. There are 8 total to collect but could be hard to get all of them. I’ve managed to only get one of them because the one I went to wouldn’t break open the boxes for the other characters until they finish up one … Continue
An image has surfaced on The New York Times of a ship that was created by various characters in The LEGO Movie including Wyldstyle, Benny, Batman, Vitruvius, Unikitty, and Emmet. The “Master Builder’s Submarine” was created while the group was being chased by Bad Cop and consists of all the builders’ different styles. This creation was created by the film’s production designer, Grant Freckelton and his team using LEGO Digital Designer. My guess is that it is most likely not going to an official set but it would be totally awesome if it was. Check out the video below to see the submarine being assembled in the movie.

As we reported last month, McDonald’s is also promoting The LEGO Movie and they will be having some Action Cups as their “toy” for the month. There are 8 different cups that you can collect feature many characters from the movie including Batman, Unikitty, Bad Cop, Emmet, Wyldstyle, MetalBeard, President Business, and Vitruvius. The cups are lenticular so there are different scenes for each character. These collectible cups are also McPlay compatible so kids can play mini-games on mobile devices. They are available starting tomorrow and you should be able to buy them without getting a Happy Meal. Check out the McDonald’s commercial below.
