The LEGO Ninjago Movie Merchandise & More!

There are some miscellaneous news items related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie that I thought to write about today, so we can discuss them all in one place. As you probably know already, the film is going to be released on September 22nd, and there is a lot of excitement for the movie from long-time Ninjago fans, LEGO fans, and people who liked The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie. And of course, LEGO and Warner Bros. are going to fuel the fire until the movie gets released.

Let’s start with this very interesting video where Jackie Chan talks about how working with his stunt team shaped the action-scenes in The LEGO Ninjago Movie. The video even includes side-by-side clips of the stunt team in action and scenes from the movie. I find it very impressive how carefully the animators worked to make sure the fight-scenes are believable. Translating human movement to square little LEGO minifigs is never easy, especially with complex moves like fighting. And, Jackie Chan didn’t just choreograph the action-scenes, but he is also going to be the voice of Master Wu in the film. Very exciting!

There are also a bunch of posters related to The LEGO Ninjago Movie with each of the main characters, the awesome vehicles and mechs, and some action-scenes. I’m not exactly sure how and where these posters will be available, but keep an eye out for them. They look gorgeous and are highly collectible.

In addition, Warner Bros. and The LEGO Group partnered up with top retailers and licensees to release everything from apparel, costumes, books and more. Below is the press-release highlighting many of these items. They will be available from various retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Toys’R’Us, and directly from LEGO.

Burbank, CA – August 17, 2017 – Keeping with the non-stop action, the heart and humor, and the contagious spirit of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and The LEGO Group have joined forces with a masterful team of partners to assemble a multi-category licensing and merchandising program, including apparel, accessories, costumes, toys, publishing, stationery, home décor, party goods and more. The highly anticipated big-screen animated ninja adventure, from the team behind The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie, will be in theaters worldwide, beginning September 22, 2017.

“WBCP continues to find new and exciting ways to build on our partnership with The LEGO Group as we expand our immersive licensing and merchandising program,” said Pam Lifford, President, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “From never-before-seen LEGO sets to licensed apparel, costumes, publishing, home decor and more, WBCP and The LEGO Group deliver exciting new product for The LEGO Ninjago Movie fans, bringing the fun and lighthearted spirit synonymous with the LEGO film franchise.”

Fans can also incorporate the film’s daring spirit of adventure into their back-to-school style with backpacks for unexpected face-offs from Fast Forward.

Also included are works from four tie-in publishers, DK Publishing, Scholastic, Ameet and Blue Ocean, WBCP’s global publishing program in support of the film is highlighted with more than 15 books. The robust movie tie-in program incorporates storybooks, readers, activity books, sticker books, magazines, junior novel, guidebook, and more.

Around the world, licensees and retailers are ready to bring the action to fans with powerful programs inspired by the theatrical debut of The LEGO Ninjago Movie. Movie-inspired products will begin rolling out from partnered retailers throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. Celebrating the ninja warrior adventures with exciting activations and unique collections, the UK program features partners such as Toys’R’Us, with in-store theatre, consumer activations and website take over; Argos, with dedicated-pages in their catalogue and branding of windows and activations with the grocers ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

Fans can also continue harnessing the strength of ninja power with must-have items at retailers including Toys’RUs, Big W, Myer, The Warehouse and more.

While most of these products are geared towards children, items like The LEGO Ninjago Movie posters, the LEGO storage and display solutions by Room Copenhagen, the various books (especially The LEGO Ninjago Movie – The Making of the Movie by DK Publishing), and of course the LEGO sets, are also of interest to adult LEGO fans. We have already discussed many of the sets related to the movie (see links at the end of this post), and I will also try to review some of the other items that teen and adult LEGO fans can appreciate.

LEGO Batman Batcave discount & freebies!

by on August 28, 2017
in LEGO Sales & Deals

LEGO is running an unadvertised sale right now that I wanted to make sure you know about. The #76052 LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave is close to being retired, and to help clearing out remaining stock, LEGO started a special promotion a few days ago. 🙂

The #76052 LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave is one of the largest LEGO Super Heroes sets to date, with 2,526 pieces and 9 minifigs. The original price of the set is $269.99, which is pretty reasonable for a LEGO Super Heroes set based on the piece-count (close to 11 cents per piece). However, LEGO fans do like deals, so LEGO lowered the price to $199.99 USD / $244.99 CAD. This works out to be a 26% discount, and brings the price/piece down to 8 cents – much better.

In addition to the discount, you also get Double VIP Points on the set, so instead of 199 points, you will earn 399 points. This translates to just about $20, which you can redeem during a future purchase. If you buy the set at an official LEGO store, don’t forget to mention at checkout that you are a LEGO VIP member. Or, if you are buying the set online, make sure you are logged in with your LEGO VIP account before you finalize your purchase at the Online LEGO Shop.

But wait, there is more! Besides the discount and the Double VIP Points, you also get one free mystery bag from The LEGO Batman Movie Collectible Minifigure Series if you purchase the Batcave. As I mentioned, this promotion is not advertised, and you will only see it when you add the set to your shopping cart at the Online LEGO Shop.

So, to recap, the LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave is currently available with a 26% discount, plus you also get $20 worth of LEGO VIP Points. This basically adds up to be a 33% discount, and a price/piece of only 7 cents. That’s a very good deal. And, you also get a free minifigure from The LEGO Batman Movie.

But, there is even more! Because you also get the special promotional items for August, which are the #5004936 LEGO Iconic Cave set with two minifigures and a small cardboard cave, and the #5004933 LEGO Iconic Learn Through Fun promotional set to help kids to learn the alphabet (a few bricks, some cards, stickers, etc.). All the promotions related to the LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave are valid in both the US and Canada while inventory of the set is available. The August promotional items are valid until supplies last at LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

We have reviewed the LEGO Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave previously (see links at the end of this post), however for your convenience, I have included below the official description of the set, as well as the video-review by JANGBRICKS. He will show you all the plusses and minuses of the set, which should help you make a decision about buying it. But frankly, for this price, the set is worth it just for the parts and minifigures, and you can always sell the minifigs for an even better deal on the parts.

Help Batman and Robin to drive the villain intruders from the Batcave, featuring a Bat Lab with Batcomputer, plus the Batmobile with stud shooters, Batcopter with flick missiles and the Batcycle. This special model, based on the classic 1960s TV show, also has a Wayne Manor section with an exterior wall to climb on and Bruce Wayne’s study featuring the iconic Batphone and a false bookcase that slides open to reveal the secret entrance to the Batcave. Before spiraling down the Batpoles into the Batcave, change identity from Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson into Batman and Robin (separate minifigures included). Includes 9 minifigures: Batman, Robin, Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Alfred Pennyworth, The Joker, Catwoman, The Riddler and The Penguin. Batcave measures over 18” (46cm) high, 22” (56cm) wide and 7” (20cm) deep. Batmobile measures over 2” (6cm) high, 8” (21cm) long and 2” (7cm) wide. Batcopter measures over 2” (7cm) high, 8” (22cm) long and 7” (19cm) wide. Batcycle measures over 1” (4cm) high, 3” (8cm) long and 1” (4cm) wide. 2,526 pieces. Sale price: $199.99 – BUY HERE
