The LEGO Movie 2 sets video-reviews & more!

by Thita (admin) on January 17, 2019

The LEGO Movie 2 sets were released at the beginning of January, and The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part film is going to be in theatres soon! In addition, the largest of The LEGO Movie 2 sets just became available to LEGO VIP members yesterday (general release will be on February 1st). So, this is a good time to discuss all The LEGO Movie 2 sets that are available so far and select our favorites. 🙂

The first wave of sets related to The LEGO Movie 2 include nineteen regular sets, some small polybags, and one LEGO DUPLO set. Two of the smallest regular sets are the #70841 LEGO Movie 2 Benny’s Space Squad and the #70822 LEGO Movie 2 Unikitty’s Sweetest Friends EVER! Both sets are excellent value and already very popular due to the LEGO Classic Space minifigures and unique printed parts. Another small set is the #70823 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Tricycle! This set may not be as interesting to adult LEGO fans, but it’s certainly fun for kids. The first two sets are only $9.99 each, and the last one is $14.99. I have heard from many LEGO fans that they are buying several of Benny’s Space Squad. It’s a great army-builder set for LEGO Classic Space fans!

There are eight sets in the $20-$30 price-range, including the #70836 LEGO Movie 2 Battle-Ready Batman and MetalBeard (great for MetalBeard and Batman fans!), the #70821 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet and Benny’s Build and Fix Workshop! (more LEGO Classic Space pieces!), the #70824 LEGO Movie 2 Introducing Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi (uhm… this is one wacky set…), the #70832 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Builder Box!, the #70833 LEGO Movie 2 Lucy’s Builder Box! (both of these sets come in very handy storage suitcases), the #70826 LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Rex-treme Offroader! (great set with a dark-blue dino!), and the #70827 LEGO Movie 2 Ultrakatty & Warrior Lucy! (another great set with an adorable and angry version of Unikitty). Also in this price-range is the #10895 LEGO DUPLO Emmet and Lucy’s Visitors from the DUPLO Planet with immensely cute versions of two of the main characters from the film.

In the $40-$70 price-range we get six more sets. The #70825 LEGO Movie 2 Queen Watevra’s Build Whatever Box! (lots of basic pieces in unique colors), the #70829 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet and Lucy’s Escape Buggy!, the #70820 LEGO Movie 2 Movie Maker set with a backdrop and props to make your own brickfilms, the #70834 LEGO Movie 2 MetalBear’s Heavy Metal Motor Trike! (great for steampunk fans!), the #70831 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Dream House/Rescue Rocket! (turn Emmet’s house into a spaceship!), and the #70830 LEGO Movie 2 Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship! If you would like to see these sets in detail, check the video-reviews included in the player below by JANGBRiCKS.

The three largest sets in The LEGO Movie 2 collection are the #70828 LEGO Movie 2 Pop-Up Party Bus with unique design and colors (including a new color, similar to the long retired salmon color), the #70835 LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Rexplorer (with more dark-blue dino’s and an unusual spaceship), and the massive #70840 LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (we talked about this set previously here). In the video-player below, I have included all The LEGO Movie 2-related reviews by JANGBRiCKS, so you can see the sets in more detail.

Besides the regular sets, there are also a number of small polybags for The LEGO Movie 2 that are (or will be) available from retailers or through various promotions. So far, six such polybags are known; #30340 LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s Piece Offering, #30460 LEGO Movie 2 Rex’s Plantimal Ambush, #30527 LEGO Movie 2 Lucy vs. Alien Invader, #30528 LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building MetalBears, #30529 LEGO Movie 2 Mini Master-Building Emmet, and #30620 LEGO Movie 2 Star-Stuck Emmet.

The LEGO Movie 2 sets are full of unique parts, interesting minifigures, and both classic and unusual designs. Even if a set doesn’t appeal to you right away, it’s worth checking out larger images, because there are lots of useful pieces, colors and accessories that you could use in your own creations. See the full selection at The LEGO Movie 2 section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Bricks & Blooms LEGO modular garden center

by Thita (admin) on January 16, 2019

in Featured LEGO Creations

Last year, we discussed several of the custom LEGO Modular Buildings by British LEGO fan bricked1980 (see links at the end of this post). His custom LEGO post office has been particularly popular due to its lovely details, and because it perfectly matches the size and style of the official LEGO Modular Buildings. Many LEGO fans requested building instructions, and suggested submitting the model to LEGO Ideas for the possibility for it to become an official LEGO set. Although bricked1980 does have a couple of smaller models on the LEGO Ideas platform (see his profile here), the custom modular buildings he designed so far were too large based on LEGO Ideas guidelines. Recently, however, he submitted a smaller LEGO Modular Building project to LEGO Ideas, which is now open for voting. 🙂

Bricks & Blooms comes with 2,587 pieces and built on a 32×32-stud baseplate. It features a three-story garden center designed to be compatible with existing LEGO Modular Buildings. The facade gives the impression of two buildings side by side, however this is just for visual interest. The front to back measurement of the building is quite narrow (similar to the #10243 LEGO Creator Parisian Restaurant). This was done to leave ample space at the back of the building for the outdoor area of the garden center.

At ground level is the garden center itself with plants and gardening tools for sale. On the street side of the garden center, fruits, veggies, and flowers are sold. At the back of the garden center, there is a large outdoor area with a glass canopy, selling plants and other gardening products. On the second floor, there is a café, accessed by steps at the back. It includes a nicely detailed kitchen and seating for guests. There is also a small balcony looking out the street below. Many garden centers in the UK also have a department with pet fish and aquatics, which you can find on the third floor of this building. In addition, a door at the side leads out to a small roof terrace area.

If you enjoy the modular garden center, and would like it to become an official LEGO set, you can vote for it on LEGO Ideas. You can also check out bricked1980’s other projects, and vote for those as well. And for the currently available official LEGO Modular Buildings, visit the LEGO Creator section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the modular garden center? Do you think it would make a good addition to the LEGO Modular Buildings? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
