The LEGO Movie Store Building Event

From now until February 16th, LEGO Stores will be holding a building event for kids to create something and show off their creations on the display. I took a trip down to my local store in Fashion Valley and it was already packed with kids and parents having fun building stuff. My awesome friend, Genevieve, was manning the booth at the time I came in and there were some really creative things that the kids had built like castle towers, swimming pools, and even a stingray-style boat. Kids also improvised on some builds such as using bricks as wheels which shows that kids have a very vast imagination at a very young age. For showing off their creations, the kids were given an LEGO Movie Accessory Pack as well as the new Lord Business poster. If you have some time, head over to your store to see what the kids there have created. Check out some of the stuff the kids built below.

The LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer Polybag Found at Toys R Us

The LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer (30282)

It now looks like how we will be able to get one of the new The LEGO Movie polybags that we’ve reported a few weeks ago. Toys R Us has listed the Super Secret Police Enforcer Polybag (30282) on their website for $4.99 each. They are currently not available to purchase online just yet but they do have it checked for being sold in stores. Like we’ve mentioned before, call your store and check if they are indeed available in stores before you go there. There’s still no word yet at this time on how the Micro Manager Battle (30281) will be distributed. Thanks to Clutch from Bricks on the Dollar for the heads up.

Fly into the fray with the Super Secret Police Enforcer with red and blue lights and control levers plus a cool blaster weapon.

LEGO 2014 Star Wars and Super Heroes Sets on Toys R Us Website

The new 2014 LEGO Star Wars and the Super Heroes sets are now listed on the Toys R Us website. They aren’t available online but they do have a check mark next to “Sold in stores” so this may suggest all the new sets may be hitting store shevles soon. We’ve reported earlier that the Star Wars sets were pushed back until March so LEGO could put their focus on The LEGO Movie sets. The Super Heroes sets were estimated to be released around March/April as well. We all know that Toys R Us sometimes releases new sets early so you may find some in stores sooner than you may think. Call up your local stores to see if they actually have them before you head out.

Cutaway Style LEGO Sydney Opera House at Brickvention 2014

LEGO Sydney Opera House

Currently, there are two official LEGO Sydney Opera House sets, the Architecture set (21012) as well as the Creator set (10234). There is also another model that has been created but it won’t be sold because this is a model of the iconic building created by LEGO Master Model Builders Ryan McNaught and Erik Varszegi. They have created a 75,000 piece cutaway style of the Sydney Opera House and was displayed at Brickvention 2014. This particular model costs about $25,000 and took aroud 300 hours to complete in a period of 38 working days. Ryan had to digitally design the Opera House first because Erik worked out of company headquarters in Enfield, Connecticut. After his section was completed, it had to be carefully transported to Australia.

In the cutaway section, you can see all the intricate details of the building including the stage, the auditorium, as well as the dressing rooms. This piece of work is absolutely incredible and the estimated 20,000 lucky attendees of Brickvention got to take a closeup look at it. Ryan notes, “I’ve always wanted to do the Opera House and it’s been my personal Mount Everest of Lego, it’s been bugging me for years and years because it’s such a difficult shape.” The Sydney Opera House will most likely be used in future promotional tours as well as museum exhibitions. Check out more images of the model below or head over to Ryan’s Flickr to see larger images.
