The LEGO Movie Video Game Review

February 13, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The LEGO Movie Video Game was released the same day the actual movie came out. I’ve been playing it for the past week and here’s my take on it. Like many other LEGO video games, it was developed by Traveller’s Tales and retails for $49.99/$59.99 depending on which system you got the game on. This review will be based on the Playstation 4 version. **SPOILER ALERT**

Chracters

There are a totsl of 96 characters that you can unlock throughout the game including a majority of the ones that was seen in the actual movie. While playing through the story mode, you can unlock many of the characters after each stage is completed. Even though you’ve “unlocked” them, you would still need enough studs to purchase them for use although a number of the major characters are given to you for free.

Each character has their own abilities and some are a lot more useful than others. For example, I would mainly use characters that can do multiple things such as Superman who can fly and destroy gold bricks. Another character that I would use a lot is Wonder Woman because she can also fly as well as use her lasso at grapple points.

All characters unlocked on The LEGO Movie Video Game.

Gameplay

Like other LEGO games, The LEGO Movie follows the same forumla with its Story mode and Free Play mode. In the story mode, you are assigned various characters to use and you have to solve puzzles to complete the level. You will find that some puzzles you are not able to complete … Continue

February 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

One of our fellow readers has found one of the new 2014 LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes polybags, The Batman Tumbler (30300), at Target stores. They were at stocked at the impulse check-out lanes for $3.99 each. We’ve reported that this polybag was found last month at a LEGOLAND Discovery Center but I believe this is the first time that we’ve seen these polybags in US stores. Thank you for TJ for the heads up on our Facebook Page.

Could The LEGO Movie Pyjamas Emmet Be Purchased at Best Buy?

February 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

If you’ve been trying to get The LEGO Movie Pyjamas Emmet (5002045) minifigure polybag, Best Buy could be your answer. Best Buy was having a promotion of having the minifigure as a bonus for purchasing The LEGO Movie Video Game. According to a user on Reddit, a user purchased them separately without buying the game as seen from the image below. I’m not sure if this is allowed by store policy but it doesn’t hurt to go try and see. If you’ve tried purchasing Pyjamas Emmet this way, let us know in the comments below if it worked or not.

The LEGO Movie McDonald’s Action Cups Review

February 12, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The LEGO Movie Action Cups are now available at McDonald’s and I’ve managed to collect all 8 cups. The action part of the cups is the lenticular feature that they have. Each cup features a portrait of a character in the movie with their names as well as a scene that changes. If you haven’t seen the movie yet (what are you waiting for?), the some scenes on the cups may contain spoilers.

Emmet

Emmet’s cup shows him smiling and holding a hammer. The scene shows him falling into another brick dimension.

Batman

Batman switches from normal to angry expressions and holding his Batarang. The scene shows him arriving in his Batmobile to rescue Wyldstyle and Emmet.

Bad Cop/Good Cop

Bad Cop switches to Good Cop and he holds a microphone. The scene shows Bad Cop’s flying police car and the 4×4 SWAT car chasing Wyldstyle. You also see Sheriff-Not-A-Robot.

McDonald's The LEGO Movie Bad/Good Cop Cup

MetalBeard

MetalBeard’s portait doesn’t really show much. It just shows him raising his cannon arm and his other shark-attached arm. His scene shows the Sea Cow being attacked by Super Secret Police Dropships.

Vitruvius

**Spoilers Ahead** Vitruvius’ cup shows his young version as well as his older blinded version. The scene shows him and Emmet looking at a bird imagined by Emmet.

President/Lord Business

President Business’ portrait shows him smiling with his coffee cup while his Lord Business version shows him in his menacing outfit. The scene him riding a mech that I don’t remember seeing in the movie. I could be wrong though.

Wyldstyle

Wyldstyle’s … Continue
