The LEGO Movie: The summary of the news

I have just returned from Disneyland Paris (where I learned that despite the FastPass tickets you really have to know how to be patient ...) and I notice that in my absence the film The LEGO Movie continues to occupy the front of the scene via some well-felt buzzs from most of the sites, blogs and forums talking about LEGO.

For those who have not followed, I will summarize below the some interesting information in question:

The British video game dealer Game.co.uk has uploaded a special version of the video game simply titled "The LEGO Movie Videogame Special Edition" which includes the "Wild west pack", a set of 4 virtual footwork for use in the game and 4 exclusive characters: Old Ollie, Wild Will, Sudds Backwash and Rootbeer Belle.

Photos a little blurry from the next DK book The LEGO Movie: The Essential Guide were posted on two forums (Eurobricks & NeoGAF) and we discover some machines that appear in the film and that could eventually end up in sets of the range: We only know 13 of the 17 sets announced around the film's release to date.

The group photo of what appears to be the team in charge of the design of the sets derived from the film is only of interest to the pirate ship to the left of the image.

McDonald's will also be celebrating in Great Britain by providing soon in its Happy Meals products derived from the film as indicated by Brickset a few days ago. It is not guaranteed that these are polybags or LEGO minifigs: The brand has already distributed LEGO stamped products which were in fact just simple goodies without interest (A example of LEGO Batman merchandise at McDo).

Finally, the publisher Scholastic, specializing in products intended for the youngest readers, offers The LEGO Movie: The Piece of Resistance, a 32-page activity book accompanied by an exclusive minifig, the cover of which is below. The same minifig will accompany the book The LEGO Movie: Mighty Allies Activity Book edited by LadyBird.
