The LEGO Movie

I saw an article about this and I decided I should share it with you guys/gals. There is a new animated Lego movie coming out called.... "The Lego Movie" by the Warner Bros. (I'm pretty sure they could have came up with a better name.) (: Anyways, the movie is slated to be shown in U.S. theaters on February 7th 2014. (Shown in 2D and 3D.) The cast includes Will Arnett from "Arrested Development", Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson from "Taken 2", Alison Brie from "Community", Nick Offerman from "Parks and Recreation", and Elizabeth Banks from the "Hunger Games." The directors/writers are Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. (21 Jump Street, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.) …

Not seeing anyone mentioned it yet. Four new movie2 BH

I find it interesting that it is scheduled to come out in 2017. I would imagine that they could easily have it out by late 2015 and the quality, demand, and reception wouldn't suffer at all. Does anyone else think this seems oddly far away? Especially by today's standards?

I plan on picking up 4-5 this year. Does that sound unreasonable? I usually pick up sets that are closer to retirement but since I can get them a B&****** for under $60. Plus there is always that wildcard of that set being sold out during Christmas so they might go for $140 on ebay and then after the holidays use that money to pick up 8-10 of those sets. Thoughts?

Just saw this picture, so I figured I’d share.

I noticed the Cloud Cuckoo Palace is listed online as online only now (and shows sold out ). Does this suggest some of the early Lego Movie sets will start to lose their shelf space in stores? As a former store logistics manager, when we couldn't keep something in stock we eventually dropped it from our system and gave the space to an adjacent product. I wonder if a second wave of movie sets might be coming? This set has been popular in stores and online for awhile, I wonder if replenishment will ever catch up at the store level.

[70839] Rexcelsior! | 1826 pieces

$29.99 - 322 pieces Yes. I cant believe it actually is happening! Just saw the movie and was like..."I want that". LEGO delivers. AND included FLUFFY-TAIL RAGEKITTY. Day 1 Purchase for me.

A $10 "battle pack" based on the original space theme?! Four figures, with one being a new color?! Two vehicles and a classic space robot?! Sign me up! With the new Lego Movie 2 sets beginning to hit the shelves over the past couple of weeks, one thing I've noticed is that I've only seen this particular set at Target. I've come across all of the other new sets from this theme at Wal-Mart, Meijer, and in my local Shopko stores, but none of them have had this set. Only Target. Checking Brickset, it's not listed as a retail exclusive. A quick Walmart inventory search on br******k shows it as "out of stock" in every store, while searching Target it is in stock at every…

70810 MetalBeard's Sea Cow is a great set...apart from the miniaturized version of MetalBeard himself. This obviously means that the only realistic version of MetalBeard fans can acquire is in fact 70807 MetalBeard's Duel. I think this disappointed a few fans to realize they got a wimpier version of MetalBeard in a $250 set, but that's all a part of LEGO. Since he is *technically* an exclusive figure (I say technically because he's a buildable model more than a figure, but whatev's), is this a better "The LEGO Movie" set to stock up on?

New polybag at TRU? Haven't seen anyone post abt it yet...tho I could be wrong! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=31225126&cp=2255956.2273442.2255962.3696486.31151746&parentPage=search

708 pcs. 4 minifigs (Emmet, Angry Uni-Kitty, and 2 Skeletrons). RRP US$59.99, CA $74.99, EUR 59.99 I'd been hoping to buy this one below US$40. Now on sale at TRU.com at $55.99. There were a couple aging in the clearance aisle at my Walmart at $45... then there was one... and now, with Amz prices at $69.99, I decided I'd better get it. I bought it as a special treat, I gave it to my son last night. We love it. Very fun set, fun to build, fun to play with. Has lot's of interesting, large, chunky parts... pieces "you don't see every day". Once these run out at the retailers, I think this could be a winner.

I noticed each of these product animations for The LEGO Movie 2 sets all use the same Retro/Synthwave style track making me wonder who they commissioned to do the film's soundtrack if this is any indication kind of like how Daft Punk did the musical score for Tron Legacy.

Surprised to see that this set didn't have a topic yet. I've seen this one called "The Lego Movie" Battle Pack, which I thought was apt. Iconic (albeit small) item, buncha figures. This one seems like a winner to me. Could be a double winner if the couch shows back up in TLM2 (if there is one)? TNB

With the LEGO Movie making some serious dough this weekend, what do you guys make of the promotional Poly bags being given away? These would include: 5002203 - Radio DJ Robot 5002045 - Pyjamas Emmet 5002204 - Western Emmet From what you've all seen with promotional bags like the Iron Patriot, are these the types of bags that you'd recommend flipping fast while the pan is hot, or should these be sat on until stock runs out?

$99.99 - 995 pieces Looks like the different sections might rotate. I wish Glitter Batman had a cape.

I just found some info online that there will be a special Record Store Day 2015 Lego Move vinyl soundtrack with collectible poster. Anyone who is familiar with Record Store day knows the releases are super limited to 500 to 2000 total made and I am hoping there will be some lego bricks in addition to the limited edition poster. Has anyone else heard anything about this? Source http://new-vinyl.blogspot.com

Does anybody think this exclusive polybag (30280) will be worth grabbing? I still don't know how I feel about the movie sets, but I am a polybag junkie, especially when they're free!

I'm always on the lookout for unique sets to add to my modular street setup. I'm curious how this set, when built in the convential ice cream truck configuration, might look parked across the street from the Pet Shop or Green Grocer?

Since the Green Ninja is in the 70815-1: Super Secret Police Dropship which is not yet released, how do you think this will affect the value of the Spinner Loyd ZX 9574?

As I mentioned in daily thread, you would be able to get it from BN, but too bad coupons don't work for pre-order items. Otherwise, discount GC and 20% off coupon would work out nicely, even if it is priced at 41.99. Might wait until 17th - I still have one printed coupon valid until 22nd.

I just received my Lego movie DVD and there is a big red 'X' on Emmet's face. Anyone else have this happen? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

I haven't seen much discussion about this set, I guess it falls under the general discussion of "will Lego Movie sets perform well". I think this set has a lot going for it, with 4 exclusive mini-figures, Vitruvius (who is only available elsewhere in the Sea Cow) and Lord Business in his full evil attire. What are other peoples thoughts on this set? How long do people think this first wave of Lego Movie sets will stay in stores for?
