Universal Pictures in Talks with LEGO to Develop New Film Properties

December 19, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It looks like we can expect some more LEGO movies coming to the big screen in the near future. Variety is reporting that Universal Pictures is in talks with The LEGO Group to develop new film properties based on the bricks.

LEGO themed movies have been pretty popular in the past few years with such movies as The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie however there were also some misses like The LEGO Ninjago Movie and The LEGO Movie 2 whose numbers didn’t live up to expectations.

There’s still another LEGO movie announced back in 2015 called The Billion Brick Race that is supposedly still being worked on. There hasn’t been any news on that since last year when it was reported that the movie was losing its director.

With LEGO films also comes sets based on the movies so that also opens up the portfolio as to what LEGO wants to do. What film properties would you like to see in LEGO form?

Here’s something that popped up on UK LEGO Shop@Home which may be of interest for some of you. LEGO is now selling their Indiegogo project LEGO FORMA Koi (81000) on Shop@Home UK for pretty much retail price. I’m not sure when it became available or how many they have in stock but if you missed out on supporting the project last year, you can now get one. Note that it is only available in the UK which is kind of weird but I assume they had some left over when the set shipped out to backers. Thanks to Garrett for the heads up.

I don’t usually promote Woot.com but they do have a great sale on the LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron (42083). Over there, it is currently priced at $244.99 which is 30% off the retail price of $349.99. For those who are skeptical of the site, they are a legitimate retailer. As for shipping methods, I don’t know how they ship. The deal has 12 days left on it or until it is sold out.

LEGO Star Wars Christmas X-Wing (4002019) Videos

December 16, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Now that the LEGO Star Wars Christmas X-Wing (4002019) employee gift is no longer a secret, LEGO has released a few videos for it. These videos include LEGO Star Wars Creative Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen talking about the history of LEGO Star Wars and Designer Joseph Patrick Kyde doing a short designer video for the X-Wing. The other videos show LEGO Owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Chairman Jorgen Vig Knudstorp playing with it with some commentary. Kristiansen also talks about LEGO Star Wars being the first licensed theme and releasing the first sets back in 1999. These videos are pretty rare as LEGO doesn’t do much of these kinds but it’s nice to see them taking time to film them and releasing them for fans.
