If you didn’t see this contest at the beginning of the month, this is the last reminder of The LEGO Movie 2 poster giveaway that I’m doing. You have until the end of the month to enter for a free theater-sized poster which is 27″x40″. I’ll be sending it out to five (5) people some time next month in a poster tube after the winners are chosen. Good luck to everyone!
Update: I’m not sure why the script isn’t working so I’ve added another day to the giveaway.
If you went to the early screening of The LEGO Movie 2 yesterday, some theaters gave out a polybag along with your purchase which was Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340). It has 44 pieces and if you didn’t get one, they are available for purchase at Target and Walmart.
The Emmet minifigure shows him with his tattered uniform and he has a double-sided head with a happy expression on one side and an angry look on the other. This version of Emmet is also in Emmet and Benny’s ‘Build and Fix Workshop’ (70821).
The build is very simple and the result is of a heart. I didn’t go see the screening as I had a prior engagement before it was announced so I have no idea what the heart represents but I do have an idea.
The Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) polybag isn’t as cool as the other polybags for The LEGO Movie 2 but if you’re a collector and/or a completionist, you’ll probably want to pick this one up as well. Again, this polybag is also available at Walmart at the LEGO section and at Target either at the Valentine’s section or at the checkout lanes and is priced at $3.99.
Chinese New Year is only two weeks away and to celebrate the event, LEGO will be releasing the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186) set in a few days. From what I’m hearing, the promotion will be starting on January 28 at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home and you can get it for free with purchases of $88 or more. This will be the fifth of the zodiac animals that have been released in this style and the sixth overall if you count the Year of the Snake (10250). We didn’t know the release of this set beforehand because LEGO doesn’t promote their gift-with-purchase items on the store calendars anymore so it’s hard to plan your purchases.
Earlier this month, I reported that we will be getting some 20th Anniversary sets for LEGO Star Wars in April and some of the sets that were rumored were the Slave I (75243) and Anakin’s Pod Racer (75258). PromoBricks has reported some other rumored sets in the wave and the list now consists of:
Slave I (75243) – 1007 pieces
Anakin’s Pod Racer (75258) – 279 pieces
Snowspeeder (75259) – 309 pieces
Clone Scout Walker (75261) – 250 pieces
Imperial Dropship (75262) – 125 pieces
They have also reported that each set will come with an exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigure with a printed plate. Those characters include Leia Organa (75243), Luke Skywalker (75258), Lando Calrissian (75259), Darth Vader (75261) and Han Solo (75262). I’m not sure how those characters relate to the sets as they don’t even correspond to the sets.
Fandango is offering early screenings for The LEGO Movie 2 only for tomorrow, January 26. This is two weeks ahead of the official release date for the movie on February 8. Head to the link above to find theaters nearest you to get tickets. I believe the only available time for the screening is at 2pm local time.
The LEGO Star Wars BB-8 (75187) and Porg (75230) are both on sale over on Amazon. The larger style builds are priced at the lowest they have been on the site and are price-matching Walmart. Whether you like the builds or not, I will say that at these prices, they are well worth it as they are some decent sized models.
The last four finalists of the BrickLink AFOL Designer Program has been revealed today. With that, all 16 finalists have been announced and starting on February 1, you will be able to crowdfund any of the projects and the ones that are successful will be made into an exclusive BrickLink limited edition 60 Years Anniversary set.
