LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar

by Thita (admin) on August 31, 2019

As we discussed at the beginning of the month, LEGO released four LEGO Jurassic World sets. They are based on the upcoming LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar animated series. Set in 2012, three years before the events of the Jurassic World movie, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar picks up where the story left off from LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit that aired previously. Below, you will find information about the new TV series, the first trailer, and more.

Universal Brand Development (Universal), the LEGO Group, and Nickelodeon have announced the all-new, animated mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, will debut Saturday, Sept. 14, at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon in the U.S. The 13-episode CG-animated mini-series, taking place before the events of 2015’s blockbuster Jurassic World film, will continue to premiere Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon.

Set in 2012, newly hired animal behaviorist, Owen Grady, and Assistant Manager of Park Operations, Claire Dearing, team up on Isla Nublar to deal with everything the Jurassic World park throws their way, including runaway dinosaurs, ongoing construction to expand the park, throngs of tourists, unpredictable tropical weather and an impulsive boss! In LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, there’s also a mysterious saboteur with surprising ties to the park’s past who is on a quest to find a legendary treasure and destroy Jurassic World forever. What could possibly go wrong? Well… everything.

A prequel to the mini-series, LEGO Jurassic World: The Secret Exhibit Part 1 and Part 2, will be available on the Nick App and VOD beginning Sunday, Aug. 25. In The Secret Exhibit, Simon Masrani has an idea for a new attraction that is guaranteed to keep Jurassic World at the forefront of theme park entertainment, but in order for it to succeed, he needs his right-hand can-do problem solver, Claire Dearing, and newcomer Owen Grady, to get a trio of dinosaurs across the park to the new, super-secret exhibit. Unfortunately, delivering the dinosaurs to the new attraction is not as easy as they thought! Beginning, Sunday Aug. 25, a sneak peek episode, Mission Critical, became available for fans to watch on the Nick App, Nick On Demand and Nickelodeon’s YouTube channel (or watch below).

“The box office and retail success of 2018 proved Jurassic World is the definitive dinosaur brand”, said Vince Klaseus, president of Universal Brand Development. “This year we’re focused on continuing to expand the Jurassic World story through always-on content and new experiences for fans of all ages. Our partnership with the LEGO Group allows us to do just that and more.”

Building on the success of the 2018 LEGO Jurassic World offering, the LEGO Group globally launched four building sets that take the storytelling and role play opportunity beyond the blockbuster film year, giving fans the chance to bring new adventures, characters and dinosaurs home for even more play.

“Jurassic World is one of those properties that just works so well in LEGO form,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing & entertainment for LEGO Group. “The theme and stories appeal to kids and adults at the same time, and with this content, we offer a fun and unique twist by adding LEGO creativity and humor to an evergreen property. We’re thrilled to expand our successful partnership with Universal to introduce more original LEGO Jurassic World stories that will inspire imaginations and continued play.”

New LEGO Desk Drawers, Magnets & More!

by Thita (admin) on August 30, 2019

in LEGO Care & Storage

There are some new LEGO storage solutions from Room Copenhagen I wanted to bring to your attention. As you may know from our previous reviews (see links at the end of this post), Room Copenhagen is a Danish company that makes the majority of officially LEGO-branded storage, sorting, and display solutions, as well as lunch boxes, water bottles, and more. Room Copenhagen products are high quality, use the same color-palette as LEGO, and are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations. So, let’s take a look at what new items they have (as well as talk a bit about some old favorites).

➡ LEGO STORAGE HEADS: The large LEGO storage heads have been around for many years are popular with both kids and adult LEGO fans alike. They usually come in standard LEGO yellow with classic LEGO face prints, but there are also orange pumpkin and white skeleton heads available for Halloween. This year, the pumpkin head is getting updated printing and is going to be available in two sizes; the smaller pumpkin is 6.3 x 7.6 in (160 x 193 mm), and the larger pumpkin is 9.4 x 10.6 (240 x 268 mm). As far as I can tell, the pumpkin heads are not yet available, but keep an eye on them at the Online LEGO Shop as we get closer to Halloween. They are also going to be sold on Amazon, where you can still find the previous version of the pumpkin head: LEGO STORAGE HEADS ON AMAZON

➡ LEGO STORAGE BRICKS: The 2×2 and 2×4 classic LEGO storage bricks are still available in a rainbow of colors. They are large and sturdy storage containers with lift-off lids that could be used for storing LEGO pieces or other items. All of the storage bricks can be stacked, so you could basically build with them like giant LEGO bricks. The 2×2 brick is 9.8 x 9.8 x 7.1 in (250 x 250 x 180 mm), and the 2×4 brick is 19.7 x 9.8 x 7.1 in (500 x 250 x 180 mm). 1×1, 1×2, and 1×1 round storage bricks are also available. We have reviewed these products previously, so check the links at the end of this post. There is limited color selection of them at the Online LEGO Shop, and a much larger selection on Amazon: LEGO STORAGE BRICKS ON AMAZON

➡ LEGO STORAGE BRICK DRAWERS: This version of the storage bricks was first released a couple of years ago in limited colors, and are now available in a lot larger color variety. They are the same size as the LEGO storage bricks mentioned above, and are fully compatible as well as stackable. The storage bricks having drawers makes them a lot more practical as a storage solution even for adult LEGO fans. The storage brick drawers come in 2×2 and 2×4 configuration. The 2×2 brick has one drawer, and the 2×4 comes with two drawers. There is a limited selection of them at the Online LEGO Shop, and a much larger selection on Amazon: LEGO STORAGE BRICK DRAWERS ON AMAZON

➡ LEGO DESK DRAWERS: This is a new item that was just recently released. It is a smaller version of the LEGO storage brick drawers, perfectly sized for desk organization. The desk drawers come in two sizes. The 2×2 brick is 6.2 x 6.2 x 4.4 in (158 x 158 x 113 mm) and the 2×4 brick is 12.4 x 6.2 x 4.4 in (316 x 158 x 113 mm). Both configurations have only one drawer. The LEGO desk drawers are stackable, but because of their smaller scale, they are not compatible with the standard size storage bricks and storage brick drawers. Basically, this is a separate stackable storage system that is more suitable for desk organization and for storing smaller items. The desk drawers are only available in red and blue right now, with other colors coming sometime in the future. You can purchase them at the Online LEGO Shop, or from Amazon: LEGO DESK DRAWERS ON AMAZON

➡ LEGO WALL HANGERS & MAGNETS: A couple of other interesting items by Room Copenhagen are the LEGO wall hanger set and magnet set shaped like oversized LEGO studs. The magnet set is not yet available, but it includes an oversized 1×1 round plate and a 1×1 square plate (see picture below). The wall hanger set contains three different size and color 1×1 round plates. Colors available are gray-scale, pastels, and primary colors. The sizes available in each set are 3.7 + 3.09 + 1.85 in (94 + 78.5 + 47 mm). You can use these studs as coat hangers or as a fun and playful wall decoration. The yellow, red, blue combo is available at the Online LEGO Shop, the other two color combinations are available on Amazon: LEGO WALL HANGERS ON AMAZON

I’m a big fan of the LEGO-branded sorting and storage solutions by Room Copenhagen and use them almost exclusively for all my LEGO sorting and storage needs. They are kind of on the expensive side, but they are high quality, can store a lot of pieces, and I love how they match LEGO’s own style and colors. You may just consider getting a couple of them to sort and store your specialty LEGO elements, then, if you like them, get some more when they go on sale.

One thing to note is that when you purchase the LEGO storage bricks directly from LEGO, through Amazon, or another retailer, always double check the name of the product and the product size. As mentioned above, the traditional storage bricks (lift-off lid and drawers) and the new desk drawers are a different scale and thus cannot be stacked on each other. In addition, there is an even smaller storage brick scale called the Mini Box. This is in the LEGO lunch box series and includes the 2×2 Mini Box, sized 1.8 x 1.8 x 1.7 in (46 x 46 x 43 mm), and the 2×4 Mini Box sized 1.8 x 3.6 x 1.7 in (46 x 92 x 43 mm). On pictures, all these different storage bricks look very similar, so it’s important to double check the descriptions.

What do you think? Do you have any of the LEGO-branded LEGO storage bricks, minifigure displays, or other sorting and storage solutions? How do you like them? Or, are you thinking about giving them a try? What is your own favorite sorting, storage, and display solution? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
