LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
As we reported yesterday, Toys R Us stores are having a 20% sale on all The LEGO Movie sets. Also, with any LEGO set purchase of $50 or more, you can get a card with a code worth up to $7.50 off a movie ticket. This is pretty cool if you’re going to see the movie anyways. You can a sale on the sets at MSRP plus a discount on a ticket. Pretty nice.
The Wrap is reporting that The LEGO Movie sequel is already in the works. Even though the movie doesn’t premiere until this weekend, sources close with knowledge of the studio’s plans says that Jared Stern and another writer has already started working on the script a second movie. There’s no details yet of what the sequel will be about but it will no doubt make LEGO fans very happy. Stern has done work for The Internship, Wreck-It Ralph, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, just to name a few. Early estimates are that The LEGO Movie this weekend will rake in around $40 million and should be the top box office movie.
The LEGO Movie sets are already very popular and stores have had trouble keeping them in stock but if another movie is released, there will most likely be even more sets coming out in the future. Does this news of a potential sequel make you even more excited?
There is a new Best Buy ad this week for pre-ordering The LEGO Movie video game. You can get the Pyjamas Emmet polybag as well as $7.50 in movie cash to see the movie in theaters. This is almost the same offer as what Gamestop
is offering except that you get the Western Emmet. From the looks of it, the offer is valid on the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. We’re not sure this offer is valid on the other ports of the game. The same Pyjamas Emmet is also available if you’re a Regal Crown Club member (free) and you purchase a RealD 3D ticket from Regal Cinemas. Also, remember that you can get the Radio DJ Robot minifigure pre-order bonus from Walmart
as well as purchasing a RealD 3D ticket from AMC Theaters. Now it makes it even harder to decide what offers to go with to collect all the exclusive minifigures.

A young girl by the name of Charlotte has been making the rounds on the internet of a letter seen above that was sent to LEGO.
Dear Lego Company:
My name is Charlotte. I am 7 years old and I love legos but I don’t like that there are more Lego boy people and barely any Lego girls. Today I went to a store and saw legos in two sections the girls pink and the boys blue. All the girls did was sit at home, go to the beach, and shop, and they had no jobs but the boys went on adventures, worked, saved people, and had jobs, even swam with sharks. I want you to make more Lego girl people and let them go on adventures and have fun ok!?!
Thank you.
From Charlotte.
I usually don’t write about controversial topics like this but this is something I would like to touch on. From what I’ve seen, many people have been praising Charlotte for writing such a powerful letter to LEGO. As a LEGO fan, I have to disagree with Charlotte’s letter as well as to everyone I’ve seen supporting her and here’s why.
LEGO has been trying very hard the past few years to get more younger girls building from the highly popular LEGO Friends sets as well as the newly released Disney Princess sets. Charlotte’s point in the letter is that she wants more female minifigure to have more adventures. There have been plenty of female minifigures in “boys” sets such as a … Continue
The LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer Polybag (30282) is now available to purchase on the Toys R Us website as well as in stores for $4.99 each. Also, all of The LEGO Movie sets are 20% off MSRP. If you’ve been waiting to get some of these sets, this week is a good week to get them.
For those who are not LEGO VIP members and missed out on the chance to get the LEGO The Simpsons House (71006) early a few weeks ago, the set is now available to the general public at your local LEGO Store or on Shop@Home. The set contains 2523 pieces and goes for $199.99. If you aren’t a VIP member yet, what are you waiting for? It’s a free membership and it allows you to have perks over people who don’t have it such as early access to exclusive LEGO sets.
