Win The LEGO Movie tin!
Posted by Huw,
Last week, to coincide with the release of the movie, LEGO sent out these tins containing nine minifigs and a small section of cinema to selected webmasters and journalists. We were lucky enough to receive one here at Brickset towers and now you have the opportunity to win one, courtesy of Fairy Bricks. Find out how to be in with a chance in the forum.
The set contains Wyldstyle, Emmet, Batman, Bad Cop/Good Cop, President Business, Wonder Woman, Vitruvius, the Ice Cream seller and a knight.
The cinema section is solidly constructed and features a printed card at the back.
My only criticism with it is that Wonder Woman and Wyldstyle can't sit up straight in their seats because their hair and hoodies get in the way of the seat backs, but that's nothing that a cushion on their seats (1x2 plate) won't fix.
(I've just noticed there's a white cat hair by Emmet's feet: sorry about that -- my ginger and white cat has a habit of jumping on to my photography table!)

Too bad the tin doesn't contain the Green Lantern minifigure that features so prominently on the box art. I hear there are clone brands around producing that one; odd that LEGO wouldn't want to make money selling it themselves.
Oh, you actually got the hood for Wyldstyle? I got a couple of these tins myself and Wyldstyle is missing her hood in both. But at least she can sit up straight. I also don't like that Wonder Woman can't sit properly, and a Green Lantern would have been nice. I have read that there is some speculation Green Lantern is coming in minifigure form as a GN with light fig was just released! So there is hope! :D
Does Vitruvius have printed legs? Wish I was 18 or older...
The bag in my tin was split, her hood and bad cop's helmet were missing. I thus assumed they both should have been in it so set about getting replacements. The instructions show her with hood, don't they.

How exactly do we buy tickets for this?

@Psymon postal entries or bank transfer are possible for UK people. I'll drop you an email.
Haha - "Brickset towers" that made me smile. I'd love to see the "offices of Brickset" someday. :)
Just entered! I'd wish everyone luck, but then I wouldn't win :D
I have just purchased 10 entries, but I was unable to comment on the other forum to let him know.
@plantbit Don't worry mate I can see it's you :-)
Was going to go this weekend, but couldn't. Now I'm busy for the next few. Dang it!
Set looks cool, though, and no objection to cat hair.
Does what it says on the tin?
Just went in! Thanks for running this - The charity makes it a very feel-good way to blow some money.
Just added my entry at the last minute, fingers crossed!
