The Lego Movie

[TheOrcKing]

Come on guys, for real? You really didn't know it wasn't digitally animated?

Next you guys are going to be wondering if Ninjago and Chima were done with the old school plasticine animations.

We knew it was, only saying that the process used to render each scene in addition to the character movement made it almost convincingly realistic. This compared to special effects in a lot of films even current ones where the detail is high yet the movement is too smooth or unrealistic.

Was everyone aware that the LEGO movie was not stop motion or was I the only one who though it was?

@ToK ... Stephen thought it was stop motion. He can't be the only one.

I'm sorry s_r .. That's funny stuff right there.

I'm here to make you guys laugh......

[exciter1]

Heck, I thought it was claymation.

[TheOrcKing]

Shoot, I thought they were marionettes with strings and stuff.

[biniou]

Damned, I thought they were actors in disguise.

I was just hoping to add in the last sets currently available for The Lego Movie onto the thread poll for people to choose but figures something went haywire and reset the whole thing. Whatever. Anywho, the poll is now fixed with the two main questions remaining of "How many times have you seen The Lego Movie?" followed by "What is your favorite set?" which is based on your personal choice and not really about investment potential.

[biniou]

I'm not sure but I think I've watched it 5 times (or maybe 6 ?).

 

About the favorite set I wasn't sure, maybe the 70807 Metalbeard's Duel because it's a "UCS" construction, or maybe the 70810 Metalbeard's Sea Cow because it seems huge and cool (haven't built it yet), but nah... my favorite is definitely the 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP! just because I was a lego-space fan when I was a kid. It's like if Lego created THE set I wanted as a child, and also as an AFOL, as a tribute to the good old days in the 70's/80's.

0 is also a good number to include in these polls to get better stats,,,,,

Figures I would miss something. Oh well. There now is a "never" option.

Haven't seen this asked but....  

Would you hold onto your Lego Movie sets until the second one comes out?  

I mean I personally am not all that impressed by returns yet with exception of construct-o-mech and double decker. (I didnt have funds for Sea Cow at the time!)

Any sage advice or opinions?

[Forsaker]

Depends if you can hold the stock till then (2019). If ever selling prices rise until then, I would part with the stock.

[feed]

I was, but with it (the sequel) being pushed back, again, I’m selling them off.  They’re all moving at double my buy in now, so it’s an easy enough decision for me to make.  

[petersjonny]

Appreciate it,  yea I hear ya.  Double is ok but 2019 is long ways off >.<

[iahawks550]

if you can double up on this theme, except for a few sets, I don't think the new movie is going to spur a ton of interest in most of these.

I went into a local toy store at the mall yesterday and found a bunch of 70809's (Evil lair) along with some other sets I haven't seen ever but they marked it up high even though everything was 25% off, hopefully at some point it will be 50% in a few weeks !
