The big day came and went with much buzz and fanfare, the premiere of The LEGO Movie. As you may have seen, As with The LEGO Group, we’ve been promoting the movie heavily on here and it’s had quite a response. Here’s my spoiler-free review of it.
We first reported about the movie and its casting way back in 2012 and after two years in the making, it is finally here. Even before the movie premiered, the official sets were already in major retailers and on LEGO Shop@Home. When I first saw them, I already knew that it was going to be good. Then came the number of trailers and teasers and that pretty much clinched it for probably for everyone who remotely likes LEGO.
The biggest point in the movie is to build whatever comes to your mind which has always been LEGO’s mission statement. That’s what Emmet has tried to set out to do throughout the movie. He has to find it in himself, with the help of his friends, that he is “The Special.”
The actors and actresses did a great job on their characters. There were also some cool and unexpected cameos that we won’t spoil in this review. The jokes and puns were enough to keep everyone smiling throughout the movie, not too much but just the right amount.
The movie animation by Animal Logic was better than I had expected. All the hard work that the designers put in the CGI paid off. After watching the movie, you … Continue
While doing a review of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Batman: Tumbler (30300) polybag, Jason from The Brick Show revealed there will be a Ultimate Collectors’ Series Tumbler coming in 2014. There’s no sources connected to this rumor so we’ll have to see if it is true. There have been a couple of versions of it already in official sets including The Tumbler: Joker’s Ice Cream Surprise (7888), The Bat vs. Bane: Tumbler Chase (76001), and The Batmobile Ultimate Collectors’ Edition (7784) which was an alternate model. The Tumbler was also submitted to LEGO CUUSOO by Brent Waller but was ultimately rejected.
Again, the UCS Tumbler is just purely a rumor as of this time since there are no actual sources for it. Check out their review below and around 2:22 is where Jason confidently states there will be one coming out this year.

Earlier this week, we reported that a young girl wrote a letter to The LEGO Group asking for more female minifigures to go adventures. LEGO has responded to that letter with pretty much what I wrote in my editorial. I stated that kids should starting making their own adventures with the vast variety of female minifigures already available to them. So to Charlotte and people supporting her, stop trying to push your political agenda to a company that has already been making huge strides the past few years to cater to both genders. Hopefully, this will be the last time I’ll be talking about this subject matter. Take a look at LEGO’s response below:
… ContinueWe are grateful that we have a product that so many children around the world engage with. Each year hundreds of thousands of children all over the world reach out to us after playing with our products, and give us positive feedback and suggestions for ways to improve. We reply to all consumers who reach out to us, and this answer is between us and the consumer unless the consumer decides to share our response of course.
We believe that LEGO® play appeals to children of both genders and all ages. Building with LEGO bricks fosters the creativity of children which is why it’s our mission to offer any child – regardless of their age, gender or interests – a relevant LEGO play experience.
LEGO play has often been more appealing to boys, but we have been very focused on including more
