Friends confirmed. Minidolls it is. This will be interesting for sure. I lived the first movie so this one might be the same.

I imagine this might be the first them to include a mix of minifigures and minidolls in the same set.

Just watched the trailer, and I like what I see so far.  I really loved the original.  Then I watched The Lego Batman Movie and I was not as excited about it because of how my expectations got set by the first movie.  Then I watched The Lego Ninjago movie and I was somewhat irritated with that movie and felt the "Lego Movie" concept was dead.  However, this sequel to the original looks nice because there's enough familiarity with the characters to tie back to the original but there's newness to the story and plenty of opportunity for cool sets that will pair with the release.  I'm also glad that the music selection has changed from Taylor Swift "Bad Blood" junk to Beastie Boys "Intergalactic".  That right there was enough to feel like we were back on track.  The alien minifigure will be cool to have and I like the smooth designs of its ship.  I'm in!

LOL AT THE STICKER JOKE!!!!!

1.......2........3........I AM SO PUMPED UP !!!!!!

Everything is awesome...again!

I’m going to throw out a theory/hope - our characters will get transformed (temporarily) during the film into minidolls.

Where’s Morgan Freeman?

Where’s Morgan Freeman?

 

He died last film. Clearly, LEGO ghosts don’t live forever. Duh

No Channing Tatum or Jonah Hill?? Meh. 

 

 

haha...Everything is definitely awesome again! The time to unload my Lego Movie CMF sets and cases is nearing. Crossing my fingers.

This is just beyond amazing.
This trailer just ticked all of my expectations boxes.
+ main antagonist as a Lego Friends minifigure which majority of AFOLS hates and still considering as no "kosher" part of the LEGO lineup.
- pefrect.
I'm so pumped to see this next year.

just give me Lando and his
"where did you get that sweet space cape brother"
and I'm going all-in.

This looks great.  I'm digging the whole Mad Max vibe at the beginning.  Should lead to some pretty cool sets...

That trailer has totally kicked me out of my movie blues.  I love how the mini doll has to hop.  Here's hoping for an apocalypse Statue of Liberty.  That would be a cool line of sets.

WITNESS ME! baby.

What's with the post-apolayptic setting?  Did Will Ferrel and his kids watch Mad Max movies after the events in LEGO Movie ???

I'd imagine the son has gotten older and has built a bunch of sweet wasteland cyborg stuff while the daughter has taken all the characters to her room.

Maybe this movie will help LEGO out of its recent doldrums.

I want a Sewer Babies poly bag!

Well looks like it will be another hit like the first one! Soundtrack sounds dope!!

I'm surprised there isn't more outrage at the feminist social justice stuff that everyone  so many hate about the star wars universe lately?

That's clearly the crux of this trailer, if not the film.

Too early to tell obviously if it's just one joke or if the point will be questioning why the man is so special when Wyld Style (sp?) did all the warrior stuff and master building, and now an alien with a disguised voice & face (who will obviously be revealed to be a female friends toy has taken our heroes to a land where (perhaps) all the Female friends characters outnumber the men 10:1.

But the trailer showed us mad max in the first 2 minutes of the film so everyone's in!

Or maybe that is all a head-fake. Lord & Miller are pretty talented.

Just like any reasonable person, I need more evidence before I rev up my outrage engine

I am more interested in how Lord & Miller going to lampoon Solo after how KK treated them over at LucasFilm.  I would not be surprised if the bad guy/girl in TLM2 is (not so) loosely based on Madam KK

NOW you're talking. I could see them dropping a sly joke in there somewhere. But not sure they could bash the film itself, I thought it held up fine. Just clearly wasn't THEIR version.

At the end of the day, no prequel can ever have the true tension you need because YOU KNOW HOW ITS GOING TO END UP unless you make a huge plot twist.

That was the tragic flaw of EP 1-3 for me. There was no twist, there was no surprise, it just played out.

I hope they find a clever way to get children and adults to think more about the digital addiction epidemic. 

Some sets have shown up.

Looks like the Downtown Diner transformed into a spaceship!  The spherical shape is novel and interesting.  What's hard to get use to is the idea of a set that could include regular Lego pieces, Duplo regular Lego pieces that LOOK like Duplo (upon closer inspection), and minidolls.  That's a crossover I haven't seen before!
