LEGO batman movie experience

LEGO Batman Movie Minibuild Booklet The LEGO Batman Movie is currently ruling the world, winning hearts (and funny bones) with its family-centric story. But of course, just like with 2014's The LEGO Movie , everybody knows that the fun extends way beyond the movie... Personally, the release of  The LEGO Batman Movie  couldn't be any more timely. It's the perfect way to destress after weeks and weeks of tension. A good friend of mine calls this brick therapy . My wife and I didn't really plan anything Batman last Saturday, but it instantly became a LEGO Batman day for us. It all started after our meeting that morning. We stopped by a nearby Martins to pick up a copy of The Times to claim a Batman in the Phantom Zone [ 30522 ] polybag. But to our horror, the clerk said they didn't receive any LEGO! Later on, I have read in some forums that there has been indeed some issues with that promotion. Good thing there's an alternative to that. You can simply claim it onl...

LEGO star wars magazine: issue 20

LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 20 The LEGO Star Wars Magazine Issue 20 is now available, and it's continuing the rebel streak! This month's free gift is the Ghost! How do you follow up last month's Kanan Jarrus minifigure? Throw away his (or rather Hera's) ship in the mix! The Ghost finally received the microbuild treatment in Issue 20 of the LEGO Star Wars Magazine. The building experience is a lot of fun. The microbuild really resembles the modified VCX-100 light freighter. My only complaint is there's no micro-Phantom, or at least a space for it. Overall, it is a solid build. I super love it! By the way, the transparent stand is not included. The Ghost On 8 March, Issue 21 comes out, and it looks like there's no stopping with the rebel streak, for next month's cool toy is the Imperial Combat Driver! He may look rather familiar if you own a certain someone's speeder bike (more on this next month), but it's a free minifigure! Thank you  LEGO Star War...

LEGO batman movie chaos in gotham city review

LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City With the release of The LEGO Batman Movie comes an array of promotional materials and merchandise. The town (or city, wherever you may be) is literally painted with  bats ! (Can I take home the cute bus stop ad?). Because of the vast advertising coverage, it's quite impossible to get all LEGO Batman Movie -related stuff. The solution? Get the essentials! And one of them is the  LEGO Batman Movie Chaos in Gotham City activity book. Just like any other LEGO activity books, Chaos in Gotham City is filled with fun trivia, puzzles, and comics. I find this book more colorful (and not to mention cuter) compared to its contemporaries, maybe because the content is free-spirited in itself. But what makes this activity book a must-have? It's the exclusive Tartan Batman minifigure! Tartan Batman I have a confession to make. I have to Google what tartan means to know what it is exactly. I know that this Batman minifigure wears plaid patterns th...
