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?

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.

Brick Fanatics has announced that their in-house magazine will be ending as of today. The magazine started a year and half ago with the publication coming out monthly. Brick Fanatics will now be using those resources and focusing on other projects that “offer a greater and more direct LEGO experience to readers.” Subscribers will be getting a refund for issues left on the subscription. You’ll have to email them at [email protected] with your name and order number.
