LEGO Movie 2 Summer 2019 Official Set Images Released

Following the reveal of probably the last LEGO Movie 2 summer 2019 sets through the online LEGO Catalog for the 2nd half of this year, we now have official images of these tie-in sets, courtesy of LEGO fan site StoneWars. Let’s take a closer look at these official set images. Please take note that these are the official names of these sets, while those that we initially posted are based on a rough Google translation.

 

The LEGO Movie 2 Good Morning, Sparkle Babies! (70847)

As I mentioned in a related post, we can fairly expect that the main selling point of this set are the two adorable Sparkle Babies. In contrast to their alter ego (aka Sewer Babies) as found in The LEGO Movie 2 Accessory Pack (853865), these Sparkle Babies are definitely a win for LEGO Movie 2 minifigure completionists. This set comes in at 50 pieces and is expected to retail for $10 USD.

The LEGO Movie 2  Systar Party Crew (70848)

Another expected must have is this party version of Benny which was initially spotted inside the LEGO House as a prototype in the development phase of The LEGO Movie 2. LEGO fans instantly fell in love with this party version of Benny, and the good thing is LEGO actually came up with this official set including this hip version of the beloved LEGO character. Coming in at 196 pieces, expect this to retail for 19.99 Euros or probably $20 USD locally.

The LEGO Movie 2 Wyld-Mayhem Star Fighter (70849)

Other than having a recolored version of Lucy’s minifig hair, this particular set also features Emmet with a new torso print is similar to that of Rex. If for some reason you haven’t seen the film yet, you are aware that Rex didn’t turn out to be the nice hero after all. The Wyld-Mayhem Star Fighter set sees the team-up between Lucy and Mayhem to thwart the selfish plans of Rex. This set comes in at 405 pieces and will retail for $50 USD.

Though these LEGO Movie 2 summer 2019 official set images are now circulating online, we still yet to see them at shop.LEGO.com. However, these sets are expected to be out in August so we can be sure that LEGO’s online shopping portal will be listing them soon.

More Summer 2019 LEGO Movie 2 Sets Coming in August

After reporting on the new LEGO Minecraft sets slated to arrive this August, the Dutch online version of the LEGO Catalog for July-December has revealed that there are more summer 2019 LEGO Movie 2 sets coming from the brick pipeline. To be exact, there are three new TLM2 sets that were featured in the catalog, one of which I’m looking forward to having. Let’s check this out.

The LEGO Movie 2 Wyldstyle’s Starfighter (70849)

It’s quite obvious that LEGO still has plenty of room for more LEGO Movie 2 sets, with additional builds slated for release during the second half of the year. First off, we have this sleek Wyldstyle’s Starfighter (70849) with minifigures of Lucy (sporting her natural hair), Sweet Mayhem, an alternate version of Emmet sporting his new vest, and Rex Dangervest donned with turbo blasters. The starfighter’s design is pretty straightforward, with its nicely curved wings giving it a streamlined look.

The LEGO Movie 2 Good Morning, Sparkle Babies (70847)

I have to say that this is one set that most fans will grab just because of those tiny, cute Sewer Babies. Of course, they don’t look grouchy and grumpy any more thanks to the sparkle and shine and good vibes spread by Lucy and Emmet. The choice of color and print on these glitter babies is simply spot on and is a great addition to the LEGO Movie 2 Accessory Set (853865). Minifigures included in these set are Emmet and Lucy, and two Sparkle Babies.

The LEGO Movie 2  Systar System Party Team (70848)

This next set definitely tops my list. I just have to admit it – most of us are looking forward to having this Party Benny, with his dual-molded legs and star-studded glasses accessory. I’m also curious about how this version of Unikitty manages to have a scarf accessory wrapped around her neck. It looks like this one is made of a soft wire wrapped with a fur-like material.  Metalbeard is also up and ready to party as a one-man band to get everyone up and dancing.

Summer 2019 LEGO Movie 2 Sets

 

I’m certainly looking forward to seeing these summer 2019 LEGO Movie 2 sets, particularly on having that Party Benny minifigure. We don’t have specific, product descriptions for these sets as of this posting but once we do, I’ll update this article. For the meantime, be sure to check out these other recent LEGO Movie 2 sets now available on discount via Amazon and at shop.LEGO.com.

2019 Summer LEGO Movie 2 Set Images Revealed

So we’ve already gone over how LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part while debuting at #1 in the box office on its premiere last weekend, was markedly not as heavy a box-office breaker as the 2014 original film. But that’s far from the minds of LEGO’s primary toy manufacturing business, which is still cranking out new tie-in sets for the movie. In fact, a number of these new LEGO Movie 2 sets were announced towards the end of last month. Quite recently, we got a heads up on three tie-ins, two that were mentioned previously and one new addition. These 2019 summer LEGO Movie 2 set images were revealed February 12, ahead of the 2019 New York Toy Fair. They are the Shimmer & Shine Sparkle Spa! (70837), Queen Whatevra’s “So-Not-Evil” Space Palace (70838) and the Emmet’s Triple-Decker Couch Mech (70842) which is the all-new set that wasn’t part of the advance notice from January.

Shimmer & Shine Sparkle Spa! (70837)

691 pieces; $69.99 USD; characters include: Benny and Washed-out Wyldstyle minifigures, Balthazar mini-doll figure, plus brick-built LEGO Unikitty as Calm-Down Kitty, Flaminga, Eight, Archimedes and Balthazar vampire bat.

LEGO Movie 2 Building Events To Be Held At Select Target Stores

It looks like the LEGO Movie 2 hype lingers on even after the film’s debut in theaters this Friday. Select Target stores will be having their LEGO Movie 2 building events next week, February 16 from 11AM to 2PM CST. This Target in-store event is intended for kids where they will build a ship using LEGO pieces, participate in some in-store games, and as a reward for participating they get to bring home an exclusive vest similar to that of Emmet.

target emmet mission

There’s no mention of what kind of ship will the children actually build, so it’s kind of interesting to see how it will look like. I’m not really sure if you need to pre-register for this, so if anyone has additional information regarding this, please do share in the comments below.

But before attending this event, be sure to catch the LEGO Movie 2 in cinemas on February 8, Friday and to check out the rest of the LEGO Movie 2 sets either in Target or at LEGO Shop@Home. Lastly for LEGO BrickHeadz fans out there, Walmart is exclusively offering the LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Emmet (41634) and WyldStyle (41635) sets, and are now available for pre-order at their online store.

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Walmart Exclusives Now Available for Pre-Order

It gave me the impression that these new series of LEGO BrickHeadz will be soon available at shop.LEGO.com. However, as this new info suggests, it looks like two of these will be exclusive to Walmart instead.  The following LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Walmart exclusives are now available for pre-order and you may check on them by clicking the following links.

Designers Share Their Thoughts in this LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! Designer Video

LEGO has just released a designer video that focuses on its next big set: the LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! (70840). Designers James Ramsden (Senior LEGO Designer), Mike Patton (Graphic Designer), and Ruth Kelly (Element Designer) shared their thoughts as they collaborated in making this awesome set. Watch this.

One of the things that Ramsden highlighted are the multiple rooms in the Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set that showcases how life drastically changed for the citizens of Bricksburg after the invasion of the Duplons. It was a bit of a challenge for them on how to convey this tough, wasteland life while at the same time keeping things more or less familiar to LEGO fans. There’s still the same iconic Coffee Unchained coffee shop where overpriced coffee is still served, though by the less friendly and more tough-looking Larry the Barrista. You also have Surfer Dave and his camper van which is now used as a prop to help the statue stand up on its own. Batman and his daily workout routine at the gym which is actually an old, worn out train, and other locations that are all nicely included in this mammoth-sized set. Needless to say, it’s a carefully planned set where designers thoughtfully planted as many surprises as they can. They even managed to hide a reference that alludes to their favorite chicken parmesan dish.

70840 Back 17

The choice of minifigures that were included is as excellent as the build itself. The set boasts of 12 minifigures, all new for 2019: we have Emmet, Lucy, Batman, Scribble Cop, Suicide Squad-inspired Harley Quinn (which is unique only this set), Green Lantern, Where Are My Pants Guy, Larry the Barista, Chainsaw Dave, Mohawk, Roxxi and Fuse. One of the more interesting detail about this minifigures has something to do with Larry the Barista’s tattoos. According to Mike, Larry’s tattoos are the same as that of actor Chris McKay who voiced Larry in the first LEGO Movie. Now that’s one cool shout out for an actor.

70840 designer video

James also described how the LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set offers plenty of LEGO pieces that LEGO fans would love to have. He underscored the set’s generous use of sand green and sun blue elements which are kind pretty cool actually to be used in LEGO MOCs. The set also features new pieces such Batman’s armor made of tire wheels, Lucy’s new goggles, a Mohawk hair accessory, and a barbed wire element just to name a few. The Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set also has plenty of easter eggs, or hidden references to watch out for. One of which is Scribble Cop’s chair-kicking play feature which is a cool reference to the first LEGO film. The set also features plenty of references to the LEGO Batman and LEGO Ninjago movies as well.

Lastly, I couldn’t help but notice this nagging feeling every time I see this particular set displayed in the background. I know that this might as well be one of the designer’s early concept models for the Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set (which is anywhere between 30 to 40 iterations as disclosed by James), but it is a good candidate to be a follow-up set, very much the same as how LEGO did it with the LEGO Ninjago City (70620) and the LEGO Ninjago City Docks (70657). I know that this might be a long shot, but it’s a cool thing to have this nice Mad Max-styled diner alongside the Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set. What do you think?

We’re just three days away before the LEGO Movie 2 hits theaters worldwide this Friday, and adding this set to your LEGO collection is a great way to add some LEGO Movie fun to them. The LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg! set is now available at shop.LEGO.com together with the rest of the TLM2 sets, with more sets to be revealed later in the second half of the year.

Exclusive and Signed LEGO Movie 2 Minifigures Given Away At Select LEGO Stores

This next LEGO Movie 2 promotional seems to be so low-key that I never recall any mention of it among LEGO’s usual information channels. But considering how sparse they are, then it’s understandable why LEGO would like to keep it this way. Some LEGO fans and VIP members have taken to Twitter to share their find of what could be one of the rarest LEGO minifigure recently released. As it seems, several exclusive and signed LEGO Movie 2 minifigures were given away at selected LEGO Stores in celebration of the upcoming release of the film sequel.

LEGO VIP member Andrew tweeted yesterday that the LEGO Store in Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey gave away a signed a Wasteland Batman minifigure from the LEGO Movie 2. This rare and exclusive minifigure features LEGO Batman as he is seen in the Battle-Ready Batman and MetalBeard (70836) and Welcome to Apocalypseburg (70840) sets, and it comes with a one-of-a-kind signed minifigure baseplate.

According to the very fortunate LEGO fan, the exclusive minifigure was given away to the first customer of the day who bought a LEGO Movie 2 product (in his case three blind bags of the LEGO Movie 2 collectible minifigures) on February 2. Furthermore, it seems that a handful of these promotional and signed LEGO Movie 2 minifigures were also given away in other LEGO Stores in the country. Another Twitter user also posted another similar find when she bought several LEGO Movie 2 CMF blind bags at the LEGO Store in Chandler Fashion Center in Chandler, Arizona. What she received was an exclusively signed Tiffany Haddish minifigure, with the actress playing the role of Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi in the film. It’s nice if we can have a closer look at Haddish’s minifigure counterpart, considering that we don’t have any similar minifigure released together with the currently offered LEGO Movie 2 sets.

It’s interesting to see which other LEGO Movie 2 characters also received the same exclusive treatment. Will we see Emmet or Rex (both played by Chris Pratt), WyldStyle (Elizabeth Banks), Sweet Mayhem (Stephanie Beatriz) and other signed minifigures as well?

Let us know if you ever spot them in your local LEGO Stores.

LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalpyseburg, and Collectible Minifigures Now Available

In case you missed it, the LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalpyseburg (70840) set is now available online and in LEGO brand stores starting this February. As the LEGO Movie 2’s first, direct-to-consumer set, the Welcome to Apocalypseburg comes in at 3,178 pieces, 12 minifigures and tons of play features for virtually each section of this massive build. It retails for $299.99 in the US and you can purchase it online at shop.LEGO.com70840 Box1 v39

This month also marks the release of the much-anticipated LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023). LEGO fans are looking forward to this collection, particularly for the Wizard of Oz characters that are included in this first wave of TLM2 CMF offering. This newest series of collectible minifigures features 20 minifigs, which are quite easy to catch if you ever happen to stumble on a newly opened box. We know for a fact that this might be the easiest CMF series to collect and complete, considering that each row of 20 minifigure blind bags gives you a complete set of the characters included in this first wave of TLM2 minifigs. Each blind bag retails for $3.99 in the US.

As an added bonus and in celebration of the Lunar New Year, LEGO has already announced its new promotional LEGO Year of the Pig (40186). From today and until Thursday, February 7, any single receipt, minimum purchase of any LEGO products worth $88 and above, entitles you to this exclusive seasonal set. As of this posting, this latest promotional is still up, and is available upon checkout at store.LEGO.com.

The LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz Sets Revealed: Building Instructions Now Available

We’re literally counting the days away before the LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part finally hit theaters on Friday, and LEGO is building up on the excitement with this next reveal. We know that there will be additional LEGO Movie 2 sets coming this summer and this time, LEGO has uploaded its next round of building instructions via its servers, pointing to the fact that our next LEGO BrickHeadz sets will be dedicated to the sequel’s main characters. They’re not listed yet at shop.LEGO.com as of this posting, but LEGO was kind enough to upload the building instructions for these LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz, particularly, Emmet (41634), WyldStyle (41635), Benny (41636), and Sweet Mayhem (41637).

Most LEGO fans will probably agree that one of the selling points of these LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz sets are the unique, printed parts that come with them. Benny (41636) for example features a unique 1×2 tile that features a worn out, classic Space logo print. This nostalgic tile is a centerpiece for any LEGO Space fan and collector. Sweet Mayhem’s BrickHeadz version is also noteworthy – I like the particular details on her helmet, and the unique parts that go with this set as well, such as the white laser pistol and the new bright purple heart tile piece, both were first introduced in LEGO Movie 2 sets.

Since their building instructions are now listed online, we can expect that these LEGO Movie 2 BrickHeadz sets will be released soon. Will keep a close eye on these sets, and let us know if you spot them on toy shelves. Thanks to Hoth Bricks for the heads up.
