Two More LEGO Movies Planned by Warner Bros.

August 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we reported earlier this year, The LEGO Movie 2 will have a release date of May 26, 2017 and the LEGO Ninjago Movie has a September 23, 2016 release date. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has plans for even more LEGO movies in the future.

Sources say that there are two untitled LEGO animated films for Memorial Day weekend for May 25, 2018 and May 24, 2019. They suggest that the 2018 movie could be the sequel to the planned LEGO Ninjago movie while the 2019 date could be part three of The LEGO Movie. However since those dates are still four years out, things could still change. We’ll keep tabs on this piece of news and update when there is more information in the future.

LEGO Ideas Exo Suit (21109) Review

August 4, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There have been a lot of very cool LEGO CUUSOO/Ideas sets that have been available the last few years. One thing that the new Exo Suit (21109) does not have in common with all the other sets is that it is an original idea and not based on an intellectual property. The newest LEGO Ideas set is the brainchild of Peter Reid and has been highly anticipated since it hit 10,000 supporters last year on LEGO CUUSOO.

When it became available a few days ago, I made sure that I was at my local LEGO Store early to be sure that I would be guaranteed to get one. The set has 321 pieces and retails for $34.99 for a $0.11/piece ratio. The box contains four small unnumbered bags, a loose flex hose and 8×8 grid plate, and the instruction booklet.

Box

While the design phase was happening for the set, Peter assembled a team of AFOLs to discuss how the Exo Suit would be packaged and marketed. What they and LEGO came up with for the box is a work of art in itself. When you look at it, you get somewhat of a nostalgic feel of the Classic Space box art. At the bottom right corner, you are reminded that the Exo Suit is set #007 in the CUUSOO/Ideas line. The back of the box shows an action shot of the Exo Suit with the yellow barrels.

Instructions

The instructions booklet comes in a matte-like paper which is a little different than the kind of … Continue

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Guardians of the Galaxy

This week marks the premiere of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters. The celebrate the movie E! Online has revealed an image of the movie poster in LEGO form. I watched it yesterday and it was awesome especially the part where Thanos shows up. I got that tingly feeling and am very excited for the upcoming movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe leading up to the battle against Thanos. That is still a few years away but in the meantime, the Avengers still have Ultron to deal with next year. Now if I can just have enough time to build the GotG sets…

LEGO Jurassic World Sets Confirmed by Chris Pratt?

August 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As I was coming out from seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, I came across a very interesting post by Brick Fanatics. Since there was no information from Legendary Pictures at San Diego Comic Con 2014 for Jurassic World, this is probably one of the biggest info for the movie.

Chris Pratt, who portrays Star-Lord in GotG, was in an interview with The Empire Film Podcast and he dropped a big secret about Jurassic World but not what you expected. He has confirmed that there will be LEGO sets based on Jurassic World! In the podcast, he mentions that there will be at least one set with his character Owen from the movie. At 1:11:00 of the podcast, Pratt mentions, “I have approved and seen the look for my character Owen in the Jurassic Park, the Jurassic Park LEGO.”

This is awesome news for people who are fans of the Jurassic Park franchise, like me. For people who missed out on the LEGO Dino sets from a few years ago, these new LEGO Jurassic World sets gives us an opportunity to get more dinosaur figures. The movie has a release date of June 12, 2015. What are your thoughts on this revelation?

Update: After doing some research, another building blocks company has the license for Jurassic Park sets. I’m not sure if Chris was confused by that or if indeed LEGO will have sets based on the movie. Considering that he played the main character in The LEGO Movie, he should know the difference between LEGO … Continue

Firestar Toys Custom Minifigures to Support NSPCC Charity

August 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

As we know by now, our friend Richard over at Brick Fanatics is an avid supporter of the NSPCC children’s charity. The charity was a huge part in his life and was introduced to LEGO when he was younger. Now Richard is giving back to the charity that saved his life and he’s been doing half marathons throughout the year to raise money for the charity. He has teamed up with Firestar Toys to create some custom minifigures that are in his likeness. If you’ve seen Richard in his running outfit, you can tell that the minifigures are a very good representation of him.

Although these minifigures won’t be sold, Richard will be posting details later on how you can get them. The money raised through the custom minifigures will go towards Richard’s challenge total which is then given to the NSPCC. If you want to help support Richard and his charity, head over to his fundraiser page.

LEGO BIONICLE 2015 Almost Confirmed?

July 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

News coming out of Brickipedia this evening is that the return of LEGO BIONICLE is pretty much now confirmed. When you do a search for the term “bionicle” on Shop@Home, it takes you to a “Coming Soon” page which tells you to check back later for more information. LEGO usually puts that placeholder for upcoming releases of new sets.

Earlier this month, we reported that there was a rumored list of 13 sets that will be released in 2015. Another thing that may confirm the return of LEGO BIONICLE is a leaked image that was posted on Groove Bricks of the sets in question. What are your guys’ thoughts on this piece of information? Is anyone excited for the return of LEGO BIONICLE after a couple of years hiatus?

Thanks to George over on Twitter for the heads up.
