More LEGO Games news
Posted by Huw,
News of the range of LEGO games, to launched on 1st July, is now coming in thick and fast!
- games.lego.co.uk is now live, and contains a Flash animation. It looks good but doesn't actually tell you anything.
- This page on LEGO.com, entitled A new way to play, looks like it contains cool stuff but all the links I tried lead to the above Flash animation (thanks Saso)
- An article at BrettSpeil.co.uk actually has some useful information, like set numbers, prices and box art (thanks szww)
It does seem that these are set for release in Europe only, at least initially. I suspect LEGO will test the water with them and release them more widely later, perhaps next year.
Update: We are once again indebited to whung, who's posted good pictures of all ten games in his gallery on Brickshelf which I've added here. Having now seen them, I have to say they look pretty cool -- all very colourful and probably fun to play. (thanks waterjedi17 for finding them!).

Wow! That's cool! I've seen the animation, and it looks something from a sci-fi movie! Amazing! Now, finally, board games from LEGO that's NOT exclusive! They look like ordinary games, but with a LEGO twist!
@freston: From the quote, it's very interesting... It's similar to what the latest LEGO Club Magazine said! Can't wait to get them!
Thanks a lot. It should be interesting

WOW! These games look really really fun. I like lego based games and actually made a pretty fun star wars war game with my cousin. Anyway these games look really fun and will be a great way to get rare peices. I will definately be getting one. I like how lego has decided to refrain from the video games a bit. I mean lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones were ok and Battles looks fun but in Lego Rock band most of the stuff we won't even be able to build with real bricks. COME ON! Anyway I am really exited about these board games.
Hmm....interesting new stuff
hey guys whot browsers you use i tried mozilla firefox and internet explorer and they cant open the games.lego.co.uk link
If you pre-order the Legend Reborn Movie in the UK you get a click toy.
That link to the minisite doesn't work, although the link in the older news post does work.
The new instruuctions are here, they are at lego.com now, go check them out.
Ah, man. I'm kinda peeved that the board games won't be available in N. America. I really wanted that Pirate one. (I'm mad on Pirates, Lego or otherwise.)
@Gameon99, what new instructions?
will they ever be available in america?
UP @Brickset
Huw: I mean the building instructions for most of the summer 2009 lego sets such as indiana jones, space police and star wars.
To bad that they won't first be in the US too!! Well, I can wait. I already can't afford all the new stuff that's come out!
WOW! The sets look awesome! BUT... notice the skeleton in Pirate Code! It has the OLD ARMS! Yep, the old-style skeleton arms and attachments! That's great! So many jewels...
Anyone else notice that the spiders eyes use a new 1x1 piece?
If these come out in North America, I'll get Luna Command and probably Race 3000. Those are really cute little cars!
I want Monsters 4! Look at all the cool minifigure heads!
I'd buy Monsters 4 just for all those cool minifig heads!
Hey they look cool, but are those like, LEGO babie minifigures?? Monsters 4 look awsome also, because of the heads.
Huw, I think there's a problem with the amount of how many people want these sets. I marked that I want "Creationary" (because it look like it could be pretty funny) but it still says "0 people want this set". Same with the other sets. This doesn't really bother me, just something I thought I'd point out.

If they ever come out in the US, I'm getting them all.... for the parts... Is that a werewolf head in monsters 4? Hehehehe.... to good to pass.......
Other than getting them for extra pieces who really likes the cheap game concept?
Visually they look very appealing to me. What the game concepts are I have no idea - but they've certainly gotten me interested. Just have to wait and see.
@Cole85459 - that's deliberate; the system records that you want it, but the master total isn't refreshed immediately, in order to help manage the processing load on the server.
These games look awesome. I definately want them
I'm guessing Monsters 4 is something like that old X-POD game.
On second thought I take that back. I have no clue.
I am looking forward to this! My favourite would be Magikus, Creationary, and Minotoruas!
Correct bluemoose, the calculations are done overnight.
Yeah I'm not too fond of these lego game boards but some of them seem to have rare pieces. So I'll still think about that. Just visually looking at the game boards, it seems that Creationary may be the best of them.
