LEGO Lego Movie (Lego theme)

2014

The LEGO Movie theme is a retired licensed product line based on The LEGO Movie (2014) and its sequel The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019). The sets translated the films' core message of creativity and "Master Building" into physical toys, often featuring quirky, imaginative vehicles and locations.

Overview

The theme was notable for a few key aspects:

Diverse Settings: Sets represented the different realms visited in the films, including Bricksburg (city), the Wild West, Cloud Cuckoo Land, Space, and the post-apocalyptic Apocalypseburg.

Unique Builds: Many models featured a "build and rebuild" functionality, allowing the set to be transformed into different items, reflecting the Master Builder concept from the movie.

Iconic Characters: The sets prominently featured the main characters: Emmet Brickowski, Wyldstyle/Lucy, Batman, MetalBeard, Unikitty, and Benny the 1980s spaceman.

Status: The theme is now retired, and its sets are primarily available on secondary collector's markets.
