In the beginning of the month, we reported that the next LEGO Architecture set would be the Trevi Fountain (21020). Promo Bricks has attended the 2014 Nuremberg Toy Fair and has took pictures of the set. The Trevi Fountain is located in Rome, Italy and was designed by Nicola Salvi in the 1700s. One of the traditions is to throw coins using the right hand over the left shoulder. The new Architecture set is expected to be released this summer.
Today, Warner Bros. Entertainment has released a new shooting game on iTunes called LEGO Star Wars: Microfighters. You take control of the new Microfighters ships, which will be released here in the US very soon, and blast your way through 18 levels spread out on four planets: Endor, Yavin, Hoth, and Geonosis. You can choose between the six different types of ships including the TIE fighter, X-wing, Star Destroyer, Droid ATT, Millennium Falcon, and Clone Tank. It has a similar vertical scrolling look like older games such as the Raiden series. You can collect studs to spend on upgrades for your Microfighter. The app only costs $1.29 and is available for devices with iOS 6.0 or later such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Like many other LEGO related games, Android devices will have to wait a little longer for its release. Check out the official press release below as well as more screenshots of the game.

A few more TV spots for The LEGO Movie have came out and one of them features the Green Lantern and his DC comrade, Superman. The actors of 21 Jump Street and the upcoming 22 Jump Street, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, team up again with the help of Emmet and the gang in The LEGO Movie to save Bricksburg from Lord Business. We get to hear Jonah Hill speak for the first time as the Green Lantern. He is supposed to help Superman who is stuck in a sticky substance but he also gets himself stuck. The other video parodies Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and features Emmet as the Man of Plastic, the one who will save the world. Check out both videos below.
As we all know by now, The LEGO Movie will be released in theaters on February 7th. Tickets are now available at Fandango and if you purchase tickets online, you can get a free song download of “Everything is AWESOME!!!” the Sing-A-Long Instrumental Version. There are also a variety of limited edition The LEGO Movie Fandango Gift Cards available for purchase as well. These gift cards show different scenes in the movie as well as my personal favorite, the movie theater setting one.

The LEGO CUUSOO Fall 2013 results are in and the next official LEGO CUUSOO set is Brent Waller’s Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary set! Unfortunately, from what was shown in the video (see below), only the ECTO-1 and the minifigures will be in the final product which means the iconic firehouse would be left out. There were a total of seven projects up for review which was a record including Female Minifigure Set, Poptropica: Dr. Hare’s Lair, The Road to Oz, ATLAS Mini Model Education Outreach, Ghostbusters, FTL – Faster Than Light, and Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary. The Female Minifigure Set by Alatariel is still being evaluated. The Land Rover Defender 110 project from the Spring 2012 review was also rejected.
Below are the images from Brent’s project and not a representation of the final product. There were a lot of very good submissions that was going up against the project but somehow it was worthy enough to become official CUUSOO Set #007. The final ECTO-1 car model was largely based on the original design of the car. LEGO is still working out the final design, pricing, and availability for the set. Congratulations to Brent for joining the exclusive club of designers who has gotten their project to become an official LEGO set!
Instagram user hmouyal has posted the first picture of the LEGO The Simpsons Collectible Minifigures from the 2014 Nuremberg Toy Fair.

The packaging will have the iconic clouds from the cartoon series.
