The LEGO Movie Amazon/Warner Bros. Update

The LEGO Movie: Everything is Awesome Edition

Many people have been emailing me to ask if I had more information about the Amazon/Warner Bros. dispute and whether they should cancel their Amazon pre-order for The LEGO Movie and shop somewhere else. One of our readers got the following message when they inquired on whether they will be receiving their copy from Amazon or not:

Hello,

I apologize for any misunderstanding about the delivery estimate for your order. We rely on the manufacturer for release date information, and they’ve indicated that “The LEGO MOvie: Every is Awesome Edition” will be released on June 17.

Once this item has been released and we receive copies, we’ll be able to ship it to you. It’s not uncommon for there to be a delay of several weeks between the release and distribution of a new publication.

When your order is shipped, we’ll send you an e-mail confirmation. We don’t charge you for items until they enter the shipping process.

Judging by the wording of that email, it may seem that Amazon would not have copies in time for the release date. That is until our reader got a follow up email a short time later:

I’ve reviewed our previous correspondence with you, and I’m very sorry about the incorrect information you received.

I’ve checked with our Inventory Department within Amazon.com and confirm that “The LEGO Movie” is eligible for Release-Date Delivery.

The dispute between Amazon and Warner Home Video will not affect any of our Release-Date Delivery.

I can confirm that we expect to ship your order

Amazon Stops Taking Pre-Orders for The LEGO Movie

June 10, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

If you’ve been wanting to pre-order The LEGO Movie for Blu-Ray/DVD on Amazon, you probably noticed that you are unable to do so. That is because Amazon is in a dispute with Warner Bros. and the retail giant has stopped taking pre-orders on all upcoming Warner Home Video products which unfortunately includes The LEGO Movie. The reason is because they are trying to gain some leverage with their pricing tactics.

Since the middle of May, Amazon has stopped any pre-orders for any Warner movies but you can still sign up to be notified of when the items will become available. For those who have already pre-ordered the movie before Amazon stopped taking orders, there’s no word yet on whether we will still get it on release date or not.

The good news is that you can still pre-order The LEGO Movie at other retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, and Target which includes The Everything is Awesome Edition that has the Vitruvious minifigure.

LEGO Toys R Us MetalBeard Building Event

Toys R Us stores throughout the US are having another The LEGO Movie building event on Saturday, June 14 from 12-2pm. The thing to build is a “Master Builder” inspired by MetalBeard so it’s going to be some kind of figure. Also while you’re there, you will be getting an in-store coupon to save $10 on The LEGO Movie video game.

Update: According to 911diecast on Toys N Bricks, there are three different builds.

The LEGO Movie Summer Camp Minisite

June 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re waiting for The LEGO Movie to come out on Blu-Ray/DVD in two weeks, there is a new subsection of The LEGO Movie’s website called Summer Camp. Here kids can visit various worlds of the movie including Bricksburg, The Old West, Pirate’s Cove, Octan Tower, and Cloud Cuckoo Land and within each location, there are short clips featuring that place. Also, there are a number of various activity sheets that you can download and print for kids to work on. If you visit all the worlds, you can get a special certificate (below) that you can download.

Another thing you are able to do during summer camp is that you can create a postcard that you can download and print as well. Choose your favorite world out of the previous locations, then choose which The LEOG Movie character (Emmet, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, MetalBeard, and Batman) you would like to have. Finally, choose from five different messages to put on the postcard.

The LEGO Movie Summer Camp has some fun stuff for kids to do in their spare time and they can be proud of themselves when they earn that special certificate after they finish everything.

LEGO Ninjago Movie Has Release Date of September 23, 2016

May 21, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

As we mentioned before back in February, there were reports of a LEGO Ninjago movie by Warner Bros. that could be hitting theaters. According to Variety, the movie has a release date of September 23, 2016. Dan Lin and Roy Lee will join Phil Lord and Christopher Miller as producers for the new Ninjago movie and Charlie Bean will be directing it. It’s still to early to know what the movie will be about but it will probably have the same type of action/adventure style the popular cartoon series currently has.

In addition, the Ninjago movie will hit theaters before the sequel to The LEGO Movie, who has a release date of May 26, 2017. By adding another movie from the LEGO Universe, this could prove to be pivotal in strengthening the relationship between The LEGO Group and Warner Bros. which means the whole franchise will stay with the movie studio. The LEGO Movie opened on February 7th and has grossed $460 million worldwide with $254 million coming domestically.

If you missed out on The LEGO Movie Super Secret Police Enforcer (30282) polybag at Toys R Us a few months ago, you’ll be glad to know that they are now showing up at Target stores.
