Lego Architecture Studio (21050)
It's kinda refreshing when Lego came up with something totally different. This one's for the creative people. Nice.
If you're a architect or simply someone who is interested in design and 3D modelling, you'll probably be heading off to www.lego.com to make the purchase right now:)
Haven't got a clue on architecture but very keen to have a shot at creating your own structure? Fret not. There's where the guidebook comes in - it is designed to inspire you to teach you the fundamentals such as scale, mass and density, symmetry, modules and repetition, space and section, and surface. It isn't the usual Lego construction guidebook for toys, but rather an idea and style guide that inspires you with its beautiful content from around the world. There are even hands-on exercise sections where you can further explore the concepts discussed at your own pace.

The Lego Movie
Yes, you've heard that right.
We're gonna have an original Lego movie (yay!), and it's coming our way in February 7, 2014 for the US release (check out the international release dates here).
Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, this adventure-comedy animation tells the story of how, Emmet, a very strait-laced and very ordinary guy was being mistaken as the extraordinary Master Builder who (as you
had expected) becomes the one to save the universe from an evil tyrant President Business (Will Ferrell) who is bent on destroying the brick universe by gluing everything together. Morgan Freeman joins the fray as Virtuvius, and old mystic who dispenses sagely advice to the man with a mission to save the brick world. We also have Liam Neeson, the Bad Cop (President Business's powerful henchman), who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet.
And, oh, we'll see a cast of our ever popular superheroes returning to the big screen in brick form: Superman (Channing Tatum) and Batman (Will Arnett) Well, we also have Wonder Woman (Cobie Smulders) and the Green Lantern (Jonah Hill) appearing in this Lego movie debut.
Our all time favourite red-caped sky cruiser.
It's always nice to have a female character to balance out the pow-wow of our hot blooded male superheroes, but what's up with the man in green hanging around here?
Green Lantern. Seriously?
Anyways. Let's see what other tidbits we have got at this point in time:)
The main character, Emmet:
Emmet:
"I have no idea what's going on. At all."
Check out the movie trailer:
Video Game:
For the gamers out there - a video game based on the movie (Uninspiredly-named as The Lego Movie Video Game) will also be created for hardcore Lego fans who simply can't get enough of the Lego universe. The gaming platforms are Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation Vita, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and of course, the PC.

I'm pretty excited about how this first original Lego movie will turn out. Warner Brothers, don't disappoint us!
