The Lego Batman Movie is fun. It’s witty, smart and satirical. Featuring a densely packed dramatis personae made up exclusively of fast-talking animated mini-figures, it has a deliriously giddy rate of gags a minute that hasn’t been seen in a big-screen comedy since its 2014 predecessor, The Lego Movie. It displays an affection for the tropes and clichés of the wider Batman franchise that fuels some near-perfect mockery (nine blockbuster movies later, for instance, and Batman still only exhibits three traits: moody, billionaire and orphan). It is, ironically, easily the best Batman movie since Tim Burton’s masterful 1992 sequel Batman Returns.The plot, in time-honoured comic-book style, is idiotically simple. The Joker (voiced by Zach Galifianakis) is amassing an army of…

A reader has given some information on how to get this particular polybag. If you checked out the January 2017 LEGO Store Calendar, there is an in-store event that starts from January 2-February 26. From what I’ve been told, they’ll be little stickers of Batman hidden throughout the store and if you find them all, you can get one of these polybags. As you can see from the image above, the Accessory Pack consists of Batman and the Batsignal along with a sticker sheet and a double-sided poster with the heroes on one side and the villains on the other. It looks like there will be plenty of The LEGO Batman Movie Accessory Packs available since the event goes on for two month however those not close to a LEGO Store will probably have to get it from another source.
Thanks to Purple Dave for the heads up. Update: I’ve had people say that this promotion won’t start until later in the month while I’ve heard others say they’ve gotten it. I guess it depends if the individual stores have everything set up or not.

LEGO DC Super Heroes Wonder Woman Minifigure Clock ADD TO BAG >It takes guts for an iconic brand to join forces with another, particularly one with a more chequered hero status. But there was little doubt The Lego Batman Movie was bound for success. Like its predecessor, The Lego Movie, the film instantly topped the US and UK Box Office. Empire called it “the best Batman film in years”. Because if there’s a brand you can count on, it’s Lego. Since being patented in 1958, the 2x4 blocks on which its empire is built have changed not a jot. Lego’s stalwart contribution to creative play meant it was among the first to be inducted into the US National Toy Hall of Fame. Many of the class of 1998 have since fallen to the wayside. iPads replaced Etch A Sketch and View-Master headsets were trumped by VR. So, how did a small, plastic brick stand the test of time? To answer this, we need to establish what Lego really means – because it is much more than a building block.
Just six eight-stud Lego bricks can be combined in 915,103,765 different ways. Instead, Lego is versatile. Cast your gaze over Lego’s kingdom, spanning, toys, cinema, gaming and theme parks. The brand might be omnipresent, casting a vibrant, primary hue, but the landscape is diverse. Plus, the policy in Legoland is open-door. Lego has formed partnerships with everything from Batman to Minecraft to the United Nations, while its customers are invited in with open arms. Lego Ideas, for instance, is an entirely user-generated platform where fans can propose and review new product ideas. The brand’s head of marketing, Rebecca Snell, said: “Ten years ago, the brand told everything. Whereas now, particularly for Lego, some of the most powerful pieces of content have come from vloggers and bloggers.” Teaming up with Batman is just the most recent example of a long legacy of co-creation. By asking people to co-author the script, Lego creates a profound feeling of partnership.
At a time when consumer confidence is shaky, this means everything. In the past few years, we’ve experienced a global recession, austerity measures come into play, Brexit and Trump. In the UK, the Edelman Trust Barometer describes an “unprecedented crisis in trust”. But Edelman also says trust can be won back by listening and talking with people through social media, allowing ordinary employees to tell their stories, and playing a more positive role in society. Lego’s marketing strategy doesn’t stop at the former. Walk into a Lego office and expect to be instantly immersed in a world of innovation and playfulness. In the UK, Lego defies Brexit uncertainty and continues to invest in its London offices, making room for future talent and growth. Having visited Lego in the US, I can personally vouch for the brand as one that is loved and protected by its people. This protective culture extends far beyond its office walls. Lego’s commitment to its core audience, children, is demonstrably a top priority.
