The LEGO Movie Blu-Ray Will Include Vitruvius Minifigure

March 19, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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 has a pre-order for the version of the movie that was described.

“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.

March 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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.

LEGO The Hobbit Video Game Side Quest Character Pack DLC Revealed

March 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Automation Creations on Eurobricks has found an image of a DLC pack for the LEGO The Hobbit Video Game called the “Side Quest Character Pack.” This DLC has four characters including a Dwarf Merchant Lady, Vacation Saruman, Thranduil’s Elk, Girion, a Dwarf Soldier, and a River Troll. After doing some research on this Character Pack, it looks like it’s being offered online at some European online retailers when you pre-order the game. Over here, we have the Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure as the Gamestop pre-order bonus. So far no other retailers have any other bonuses for the game. Thanks to Kevin for the heads up.

Update: There are a couple more DLC packs that were found on the Eurobricks forum. Thanks to Nickk in the comments for the heads up.

First there is one called “The Big Little Character Pack” which has some characters as babies or little people such as Baby Smaug, Baby Gimli, Snow Troll, Spider, Stone Dwarf, and Bandobras “Bullroarer” Took.

LEGO First Kiss by Antonio Toscano

March 16, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The First Kiss video by Tatia Pilieva was about twenty strangers were asked to kiss for the first time. People got together even with the awkwardness and the video was very moving.

Antonio Toscano, known for his various stop-motion videos, has done a LEGO version of First Kiss using minifigures. Unlike the original video, there are a few comedic shots in his version as well. Check out Antonio’s video above and if you haven’t seen the original by Tatia, I’ve embedded that one below.
