LEGO Bad Cop driving the DeLorean Time Machine…why not?! The LEGO Ninjago Masters of Spinjitsu fighting alongside Wonder Woman...yes, please! Get ready to break the rules, because the only rule with LEGO Dimensions is that there are no rules. There is an ancient planet at the center of the LEGO Multiverse inhabited by an evil mastermind, Lord Vortech. It is said that he who controls the Foundational Elements that this planet is built upon, controls all of the Multiverse. Lord Vortech has vowed to be that ruler, summoning characters from a variety of LEGO worlds to help him find these building bricks of LEGO civilization. And only the combined powers of the greatest LEGO heroes can stop him. When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, Robin, from the DC Comics universe, Metalbeard, from the LEGO Movie universe and Frodo, from the Lord of the Rings universe are swept away. To save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into the vortex.
As they journey to locations beyond their wildest imaginations in search of their friends, they soon realize that Lord Vortech is summoning villains from across different LEGO worlds to help him gain control. As his power grows, worlds mix, unexpected characters meet and all boundaries are broken. Our heroes must travel through space and time to rescue their friends before the vortexes destroy all of LEGO humanity. While chasing Bane down the streets of Gotham City, Robin is sucked through a dimensional rift, causing him to be pulled through. Batman follows him, only to be transported to the world of the Lord of the Rings. Batman interrupts Gandalf when fighting the Balrog, saving his life from falling down a mountain. When they reach the top, Frodo Baggins is pulled through a dimensional rift. Batman and Gandalf both give chase. We skip to Cloud Cuckoo Land, where Metalbeard is also pulled through a dimensional rift. The duo land in the LEGO Movie dimension in Cloud Cuckoo Land.
After a small fight between Batmen, Wyldstyle joins Batman and Gandalf, leaving behind Cloud Cuckoo Land. The trio then arrive ina strange place where they are presented with the LEGO Gateway. They must rebuild the Gateway to save their friends.A couple of days ago LEGO revealed a new exclusive line of collectible minifigs, the #71014 LEGO DFB German National Football Team Minifigure Series. The collection will be available starting on May 14th, for €2.99 per packet, but only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There are sixteen minifigures included in the series, depicting real life members of the team. Because these are minifig versions of real people, this is the first collectible minifig series with realistic skin colors, instead of the usual yellow. The uniforms of the players look identical at the front, however their name and number are printed on the back, making each of them unique. The players are as follows: If you are a soccer fan, this is going to be a great series to collect.
But even if you don’t care for the sport, these minifigs offer a great selection of unique facial features and a variety of hair pieces and colors. Each of the players will include a soccer ball – perfect for making LEGO GBMs (Great Ball Contraptions), or for using them in the LEGO Ideas Maze set. As you can see from the picture, the coach comes with a printed clipboard. Below is the video-announcement of the series from LEGO’s YouTube channel: Unfortunately these players are going to be pretty much impossible to differentiate in the blind bags as they are so similar, so it is probably a good idea to get a whole box when the series becomes available. This way you will be able to complete your team, and either use the rest for the pieces, or sell them to other collectors. You might remember that this is not the first time LEGO released an exclusive minifigure series outside of the normal line. Back in 2012 the UK got their own LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series Olympic Team.
There were only nine minifigs in the collection, and they were just generic characters with yellow skin, but still they offered some unique prints and pieces (for example it was the only way to get a blue boxer to match the red boxer from LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 5). So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO German National Football Team Minifigure Series? Are you planning to collect them all when they become available? Or only get your favorite players? Or perhaps just pick up some of the unique pieces and accessories? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below!
