The LEGO Movie Video Game Pre-order Bonus From Best Buy

February 2, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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.

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
