News on the U.S. version of the LEGO MASTERS TV show continues to roll in as we get closer to the premiere. For previous updates about the show and the contestants, check the links at the end of this posts. Since the last time we talked about the show, a preview trailer has been released and the guest judges have been announced, so there is a lot to talk about.

First, let’s take a look at the trailer because it’s super fun. The host of the show, Will Arnett, introduces us to the competition by declaring that the winner will go home with the official title of LEGO MASTERS, $100,000, and a fancy LEGO trophy. Each episode of the series will see the contestants compete in challenges that will either move them ahead or get them eliminated. To get taste of what all of that looks like, watch the trailer below.

That looks like a lot of fun, isn’t it? In addition, FOX announced celebrity guests who will also participate in the show, including Mayim Bialik, Terry Crews, Nicole Byer and The LEGO Movie writers and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. These special guests will join host Will Arnett throughout the show’s premiere season, debuting Wednesday, February 5th (9 p.m. ET/PT) on FOX.

Actress and producer Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory) will help the contestants pair LEGO-building expertise with their knowledge of the universe in a space-themed episode. Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) steps in to help Arnett encourage the contestants in a Good vs. Evil challenge that has major implications on the competition moving forward, while Nicole Byer (Nailed It!) comes to set to facilitate great LEGO storytelling in a Story Book-themed episode.

Star Wars fans will not want to miss some extra special guests in the Star Wars-themed episode of LEGO MASTERS, during which Arnett and guests BB-8, C3PO, and R2-D2 challenge the contestants to build their own droids and replicate iconic scenes inspired by the beloved film franchise. Additionally, Lord and Miller, who also are LEGO connoisseurs, provide an assist in a Movie Genres-themed episode. The head judge for the show will be celebrated LEGO designer Jamie Berard.

As I mentioned above, LEGO MASTERS will premiere on Fox in the USA on Wednesday, February 5 at 9.00pm ET/10.00pm PT. Anthony Dominici will executive-produce the FOX series, along with Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre and Michael Heyerman from Endemol Shine North America, Karen Smith and Steph Harris from Tuesday’s Child, and Jill Wilfert and Robert May from The LEGO Group.

LEGO Ninjago: Prime Empire Preview Videos

LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu – Season 12, subtitled, Prime Empire, is set for release sometime in the first quarter of this year, and the first wave of the related LEGO Ninjago sets are already available. In addition, LEGO released a couple of 4-minute animated shorts, giving us the first glimpse into the story of the upcoming season. So, let’s take a look at what we know about Season 12 so far.

The setup for Season 12 is that when the old, legendary video-game, “Prime Empire”, resurfaces, players begin to disappear. In order to solve the mystery, the ninja must enter a dangerous digital world through arcade pod portals. They discover that the digital world is ruled by the mysterious villain, Emperor Unagami, who is assisted by his hoverboard-riding army called the Rat Pack. (You can see them in minifig form in the 2020 LEGO Ninjago sets).

As Jay is an avid gamer, it’s natural that he is the mascot of this season. After many hours of playing his favorite video games at the arcade, Jay takes a break with Nya to take dance lessons. Watch the LEGO Ninjago: Prime Empire – Let’s Dance! original short below to see what happens.

In the second short, titled LEGO Ninjago: Prime Empire – Upgrade! the infamous Mechanic is off on a crime spree with his henchmen on behalf of the mysterious villain, Emperor Unagami.

The LEGO Ninjago: Prime Empire sets are totally worth checking out too. There are eight regular sets: the #71706 LEGO Ninjago Cole’s Speeder Car, the #71707 LEGO Ninjago Kai’s Mech Jet ($19.99), the #71708 LEGO Ninjago Gamer’s Market ($29.99), the #71709 LEGO Ninjago Jay and Lloyd’s Velocity Racers ($29.99), the #71710 LEGO Ninjago Ninja Tuner Car ($39.99), the #71711 LEGO Ninjago Jay’s Cyber Dragon ($49.99), the #71712 LEGO Ninjago Empire Temple of Madness ($79.99), and #71713 LEGO Ninjago Empire Dragon ($29.99).

In addition, there are also three special Arcade Pods for Jay, Kai, and Lloyd used as portals to the digital world. Below, you can find reviews of some of the sets by JANGBRiCKS, and to see all the sets, visit the LEGO Ninjago section of the Online LEGO Shop.
