ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Hey, can this be posted here? This post isn't quite about sets, and not quite about the film, so I'm posting here until somebody tells me better. Anyway, there's a LOT of events and release dates related to The Lego Movie in the next few weeks. I thought it'd be nice if we could condense them here so people know what to look for. If anyone can suggest anything, I'll edit the post when I have time and add it. (I'm putting US dates for now, but I'll be happy to add non-US dates if someone can tell me what they are.)

caddis Posted January 17, 2014 Was in my local store this week and an employee told me there was also a "surprise" Benny poster that could be had by way of unlocking a code on Lego's facebook page. Take the code into the store and they give you the poster. However I haven't seen anything on Lego's facebook page about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sid Sidious Posted January 17, 2014 I heard someone mention that you had to go to a Lego employee and say "Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!!!" to get a poster. I think it is the one you're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I'll let my son do that since we are getting the posters for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hrw-Amen Posted January 17, 2014 I wonder how wide spread the movie release will be? My local cinema has no mention of the LEGO movie in its 'what's coming soon' style magazine? When I asked at the cinema they did not seem to know what I was on about. I am hoping that it will not be something that is only shown at Saturday Mornings kids sessions, that would not at all be suitable for adult viewing as I do not have a kid to take and there will be spilt drinks, and popcorn everywhere not too mention a lot of noise! Maybe some of us will have to wait for it to come out on DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyichir Posted January 18, 2014 So since VIP early access to the Simpsons House is going on starting tomorrow, can we assume that the early VIP access starting Feb. 17 is for MetalBeard's Sea Cow? We don't know of any other exclusive sets yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy Explorer Posted January 18, 2014 I was lucky enough to get all five of the posters on Tuesday, and was told the Sea Cow would be available early for VIP's. All store employees get to see the movie for free, which I thought was a very nice gesture from Warner Bros. I am hoping there will be some midnight screenings on Thursday the sixth.

KringlesBricks Posted January 18, 2014 Wow, that is a nice gesture for a free movie! I'd like to get all the posters I keep seeing more and more trailers play on tv for the movie....making me more pumped to see it -ha-ha!! It's all Emmet`s fault bouncing around in his room saying, "I`m so pumped!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon Miller Posted January 18, 2014 The B&N event is Saturday at 2 PM. There are only spots for 50 kids. We signed our son up today. I would recommend signing your child up early. The employees still don't know what will be taking place yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted January 18, 2014 So since VIP early access to the Simpsons House is going on starting tomorrow, can we assume that the early VIP access starting Feb. 17 is for MetalBeard's Sea Cow? We don't know of any other exclusive sets yet... Yeah, I'm sure it's for that set. However, we do know of the D2C Sandcrawler set for Star Wars, but that should have an early access on April 17th.

Freddy Bricker Posted January 18, 2014 Is there a specific reason why these early access's are all on the 17th of their respective month? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Added the Sea Cow thing to the February schedule. Anything else? Is the Barnes & Noble thing at 2 pm? I could have sworn my store said it was 11 a.m., which is more convenient since my daughter has ballet class at 2. Maybe it varies by store? Edit: OK, *my* B&N is doing 11 a.m. However, a search of all the B&Ns in the area show variable times: some at 11, some at 2. If you want to go, double-check the time!

legobanker Posted January 18, 2014 I cannot wait until February 7th. I have some friends that want to see it, even though they are not AFOLs. Of course, I'll be a happy camper when they distribute the DVD. After seeing this, I will have to visit McDonald's on a daily basis JUST to get the cups. I hope I can get a full set.

ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 22, 2014 Awesome! Toys R Us is having a "Build Emmet's Car" event on Feb 8. I was waiting for them to announce a Lego Movie event. I added it to the schedule above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted January 24, 2014 Anything else I haven't accounted for? Let us know! Well, it's a little late for this now, but you might want to add that there was also a free Wyldstyle poster from the LEGO Store the week before the Emmet one (if just for the sake of completeness).

Yeah, I left that off since the promotion had already passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 25, 2014 Went to the Barnes & Noble Event today. The kids got a free movie poster and did some activity sheets which entered them in a raffle to win free movie tickets. (We didn't win.) So my daughter had fun, but there was no free bricks or figures. On March 1 (I think), B&N is having a "Build the Lego Movie" event. I don't know what that is--perhaps they'll dump out some bricks and let the kids play with them. I added it to the schedule above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeagerEX Posted January 25, 2014 I can't rush myself to watch the movie on the 7th of Feb, but I will watch the movie on either 22nd or behalf of March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenPlays Posted January 25, 2014 If anyone goes to the Monthly Mini Model Build event for the Micromanager, could they please either scan or take a good enough photo of the instructions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 25, 2014 If anyone goes to the Monthly Mini Model Build event for the Micromanager, could they please either scan or take a good enough photo of the instructions? They'll be posted on this page, probably the same day or shortly after. From the photos of the build, you should already be able to figure out 90% of the parts and how they go together. My guess is that it's held together by 1x1 bricks with studs on 5 sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I tried to do the B&N thing, but I needed to be or have a child. Oh, well. Edited January 26, 2014 by Blondie-Wan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caddis Posted January 26, 2014 Took my son to the B&N event today. Activity sheets and a drawing for a movie stand up. Then, they gave out Lego set 20202 MBA Kit 3 Robot designer sets that they happened to have laying around. Great little set, but no instructions and unable to find them for this set. The lady leading the event said that B&N is going to start doing monthly events for kids and they have the next two months scheduled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 27, 2014 The Robot Radio DJ is the preorder bonus at Walmart, but only on certain platforms. Added above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon Miller Posted January 27, 2014 Took our son to the B&N event. To say it was very unorganized would be the understatement of the year. They did the activity sheets and got the free movie poster. Dumped out some Lego and said here build something then walked off. Came back and said here is 1 Nook with Lego games on it for you to play. 1 Nook and 50+ kids doesn't end well. My son wasn't all that thrilled with the whole event.

ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 28, 2014 For those who didn't see in the Special Forums, Pajamas Emmet will be available at Regal Cinemas. DJ Robot will be at AMC Theaters for their Stubbs members (which already costs $12). Both require you to see the film in 3D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
