Warner Bros. Hires Chris McKay as Director for The LEGO Movie Sequel

March 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Warner Bros. now has a new director for The LEGO Movie sequel. Deadline is reporting that Chris McKay will be the one directing the sequel to one of the best grossing animated movies of all-time. If McKay’s name sounds familiar, then you may know that he worked on the very hilarious Robot Chicken series on Adult Swim. He also edited a lot of the animation for The LEGO Movie. McKay will be joining the team of Phil Lord and Chris Miller who will now be producing the second movie as well as the writers, Jared Stern and Michelle Morgan. Deadline also notes that the second movie will be a straight sequel even though the studio was still in talks about the Ninjago movie.

The LEGO Movie has grossed $361 million worldwide in a little over a month in the theaters and is the #1 movie for 2014. The LEGO Movie 2 has a reported release date of May 26, 2017 so the studio has a few years to make the sequel as good, if not better, than the first movie.

Very excited @buddboetticher is directing LEGO 2. He was the underheralded hero of the 1st one. @philiplord & I will still be very involved.

No More Martian Manhunter Minifigures Available on LEGO Shop@Home

March 11, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve gotten a few emails today from people who were ordering from Shop@Home and were trying to get the exclusive LEGO DC Comics Martian Manhunter (5002126) minifigure polybag but were informed that there were no more available. That’s right. There are no more Manhunters available not even two weeks into the promotional period. I’m not that surprised since LEGO fans have been waiting for this guy to get one step closer to completing their Justice League collection. At this time, you can still see the minifigure added to your shopping cart but you will get an email stating there are no more available. Below is that email that people have been getting from S@H about the promo. You may still be able to find one in brand stores but I’d call first to make sure they still have some available. Plus, there is the secondary market such as eBay or Bricklink for you to find these guys. Thanks to Zack and Jimmy for the heads up.

Due to overwhelming demand, the LEGO Shop Martian Manhunter promotion has been ended early for both the US and Canada.

Update: LEGO now lists the Martian Manhunter on the promos page as “Sold Out.”

Update 2: Ace over on FBTB also confirms that he’s also gotten one of these emails.

LEGO Minifigure Wall Mural

March 10, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Slow news days gives me a chance to catch up on some emails I’ve received the past few days. A reader named Dan has emailed in about something that he’s been doing for his sons. As an artist, Dan has started a LEGO minifigure mural in their room featuring characters from the Super Heroes line. So far he has posted images of Batman, Superman, Robin, Spider-Man, and the Joker that he has painted on the walls. Just looking at the closeups of the images, the characters look spot on. Dan is also planning on painting an Avengers wall as well as characters from The LEGO Movie. Check out more images below and follow his deviantArt and Pinterest for updates in the near future.

LEGO Mixels Mix Max Murp Instructions

March 10, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

For you LEGO Mixels fans, you already know that you can mix and match pieces to create new Mixel character. LEGO has provided a number of instructions for you to create a Mix, Max, or Murp character. If you combine certain Mixels together, you will get a Mix and one character will have more control than the other. If you combine all three characters from a single tribe, you can create a Max. If you combine Mixels that have no synergy with each other, you will get a Murp. This new Mixel will have a unique personality and cannot be controlled. Check out all the characters that you can create on the minisite. Keep in mind that not all the characters listed have instructions but you can get a feel on how to create your own.
