The LEGO Movie Trailer

June 18, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Warner Brothers has released a teaser trailer for The LEGO Movie that will be coming out February 14, 2014. The movie features many big name stars including Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Alison Brie, and Nick Offerman.

The first-ever full length featured film centers around Emmet who will be saving the world from total destruction. The trailer shows many minifigures from different LEGO sets being introduced by Vitruvius voiced by Freeman. He also says that they “have learned that Lord Business plans to end the world as we know it. There is yet one hope. The ‘Special’ as arisen.” The scene then pans to Emmet voiced by Pratt who has no idea what is going on. The trailer then shows a lot of amazing action sequences using stop-motion animation as well as CGI. You also get a glimpse of Lucy, played by Banks, who might be the love interest of the hero.

International Version

The LEGO Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Emmet (Chris Pratt) is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which he is hopelessly and hilariously under prepared.

Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie join Chris Pratt to form the cast of the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, the greatest movie ever assembled, which is

LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Jor-El Polybag (5001623) Review

June 16, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO brand stores as well as Shop@Home is currently having a deal going on for the LEGO DC Universe Super Heroes Jor-El Minifigure Polybag (5001623). From June 1st to June 25th, while supplies last, you can get it for FREE with a purchase of $75 or more.

Minifigure

The polybag contains five pieces. The cape is not protected by any cardboard. The design of Jor-El looks very similar to Superman with some subtle differences. The whole costume is a little bit darker blue than his son’s. However, the “S” emblem on the middle of the chest is of brown. His cape is also brown colored instead of the red that superman has. Jor-El has a single-sided head with a serious expression. He has a full beard that is brown and grey. The hairpiece is also brown.

Results

The Jor-El minifigure is a very nice addition to any LEGO collection. Although the design is similar to Superman, the differences he has makes him a unique minifigure. Again, the minifigure is a bonus exclusive when you spend over $75 at LEGO stores and Shop@Home. The summer wave sets of many LEGO themes have been released so it can be pretty easy to get a couple of the polybags.
