LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
A few people have emailed me that The LEGO Movie Collectible Minifigures (71003) have started to show up at Target stores. They were found at the Christmas stocking stuffers section in the back of the store. They weren’t supposed to be sold until January 1st but some have started to be sold in stores. Try to keep an eye out for them if you want to be one of the first to get them before the official release date.
Brick Fanatics has reported that EB Games Australia is taking pre-orders going for The LEGO Movie Video Game and as a bonus, you will be getting an exclusive Emmet minifigure. This particular Emmet will be wearing a poncho over his normal outfit and a cowboy hat. As of this time, they are the only ones who have a preorder bonus but they are owned by Gamestop so we can probably expect something here in the US as well. We’ll be reporting on any pre-orders that happen here in the US.
A few weeks ago, we reported that the LEGO The Hobbit video game will be released in 2014. Today, WB Games UK has released the official announcement trailer for the game. Obviously, the game will take place through the first two films of the Hobbit Trilogy, An Unexpected Journey and the Desolation of Smaug since those are the only movies released at the moment. Like many previous LEGO games, there will also be humor thrown in to balance all the action-packed levels you’ll be playing through. LEGO The Hobbit will be available on many platforms including Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintento Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and PC.
LEGO The Hobbit sends players of all ages on an unforgettable interactive journey through the first two films in The Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the upcoming The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. Players will follow Bilbo Baggins as he is recruited by the Wizard Gandalf to aid Thorin Oakenshield and his Company of Dwarves. Bilbo leaves the comforts of the Shire on a journey through Middle-earth to help the Dwarves reclaim their lost Kingdom of Erebor within the Lonely Mountain. Along the way, he is introduced to ravenous Trolls, dangerous Orcs and, of course, Gollum and his precious Ring. Players will utilize and combine the Dwarves’ unique abilities — often with hilarious results — to solve the most diverse Quests of any LEGO videogame to date.

LEGO Minecraft designers Max and Nico are again in need of your input for the Co-Build set(s). On the official LEGO Minecraft Facebook page, they have asked what kinds of ores you would like to see in a set. There are 8 different kinds of ores in the game including Coal, Iron, Lapis Lazuli, Gold, Diamond, Redstone, Emerald, and Nether Quartz. In the comments section, tell them what are the most important ores for you. To see more of what the design team is working on, head on over to our main LEGO Minecraft page.
