LEGO is keeping boys and girls on their toes with the new release DVD, LEGO Justice League Attack of the Legion of Doom. My kids are huge LEGO fans and this movie was far from disappointing. They watched it on repeat just to ensure they didn’t miss a detail the first, second or third time they watched it.

What is LEGO Justice League Attack of the Legion of Doom about?

Roadshow synopsis: Crime is on the run as the newly formed Justice League keeps Metropolis safe and this makes evil genius Lex Luthor very unhappy. Together with Black Manta, Sinestro and a gang of ruthless recruits, Lex builds his own league and declares them the Legion of Doom. With this super powered team of terror and a plan to attack the top-secret government site, Area 52, can Lex finally be on the verge of victory? Sound the “Trouble Alert” and get ready for the bricks to fly when Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest of the Justice League face off against the world’s greatest Super-Villains! It’s the next all-new original movie from LEGO® and DC Comics.

Special features include: Featurette – “Click, Zap, Boom! Creating the Sound Design” – This fun documentary goes behind the scenes with the talented sound design and foley team to explore how LEGO® sounds are created live on stage and then edited into the final movie.

The LEGO Movie Giveaway

18/08/2014 By All Mum Said 153 Comments

Everyone has heard of the LEGO Movie and those who haven’t have obviously been living under a rock! Whether you have seen it or not there is no denying that it is a hit with kids (big and small). Mr C took B1 and B2 to see it at the cinema when it was first released and they absolutely loved it! How could they not? Everything is awesome! So it was no surprise that when it was released we had to had it on DVD as well so they could watch it on repeat for what seemed like months on end, ok so maybe it wasn’t that bad. My kids along with so many others are LEGO obsessed so it was only natural that LEGO would create a LEGO movie to fuel the interest the savages have (more commonly known as children).

I watched the LEGO Movie after a week of owning the DVD and I must say it was great. I really enjoyed it. I like that kids movies these days have got that element of adult humour in them as well, or maybe it has always been there and I’m only just understanding the jokes now. Either way I can totally see why it is a favourite amongst the kids. The characters have their own personalities and unique styles, the detail that is in every single scene and piece of LEGO is absolutely amazing. You will find all your favourites in the LEGO movie as well (I don’t think they missed anyone!) – Emmet, Wyldstyle, Batman, Frank the Foreman, Unikitty, Good cop – Bad cop, chef, President business and so many more.

LEGO Movie

Prize contains: The LEGO Movie on DVD, The LEGO Movie drawstring bag, Limited Edition Pyjama Emmet mini fit, The LEGO Movie welcome pack, The LEGO Movie sticker sheet, Hardcover Lego storybook, The LEGO Movie keyring.

Disclosure: I received the above products as compensation for this post. As always all opinions are my own.

The LEGO Effect + Giveaway

06/04/2013 By All Mum Said 99 Comments

If your kids are anything like mine they are LEGO mad! They spend hours creating extravagant one of a kind masterpieces and unfortunately for my feet not so many hours picking it all back up when they are finished.

Having boys who have loved LEGO from a very young age I know that there are many positive learning experiences to gain. Everything from hand-eye co-ordination, colours, shapes all the way to just having fun.

You can imagine their excitement when I handed them 6 little packets of LEGO that contained exclusive Ferrari models! They were thrilled.

I can thank Shell and Ferrari for their mutual love and passion for performance and the hard work that went into creating these limited edition cars that have a pull-back motor. These little beauties can get some speed up too which is probably my favourite feature. My boys worked on putting these cars together like they were engineers, every piece and sticker had to be perfect and the time taken to appreciate the work required to complete them. It was pretty damn cute!

These Ferrari LEGO collectibles are available for purchase at Shell Coles Express sites across Australia. There will be a new model available each week for 6 weeks. These iconic vehicles includes:

· the Ferrari 150°Italia

· the Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta passo corto

· the Ferrari F40

· the Ferrari FXX

· the Ferrari 458 Italia

· a Scuderia Ferrari Truck

The cars are $6 each with every $40 purchase of Shell V-Power or $8 without fuel.

These will be snapped up very quickly!!

Lucky for you I have 1x full set (so that is all 6 models) of LEGO cars to giveaway plus a set of money cannot buy figures!! There are only 2000 available in Australia.

Entry is easy!

All you have to do is follow the directions on the rafflecopter.
If entering using Anonymous you must leave a name & email address that you check in case you are the winner. Failure to do this will result in your entry being null & void.

GOOD LUCK!!

The Jungle Bunch & LEGO Ninjago REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

07/07/2012 By All Mum Said 34 Comments

Since the little guy (Mr 3) has been sick for over week we have been pretty well trapped at home doing the same old boring stuff every day.

Luckily for us the postman delivered a parcel jam packed full of DVDs (yes majority of them are for you wonderful readers) courtesy of Universal Sony Pictures but there are 2 brand new movies out at the moment at we just had to watch.

The Jungle bunch is a very happy kids movie, full of hope, triumph, laughter (on the kids behalf) and a range of very funny characters. It is Madagascar meets Happy Feet – a wild jungle & ice filled Antarctic adventure. Maurice is a penguin who has grown up believing he is ‘The Great Tiger Warrior’ and his son is a fish. My favourite characters however are Miguel (a gorilla – tough but so cute) & Fred (a warthog who looks like Elvis). Rated G – Perfect for kids!!

I also received Lego Ninjago – Masters of Spinjitzu. The boys were most excited about this one and it kept them quiet for a whole 132 minutes! Amazing I know! According to an ancient legend, one ninja will rise above the rest and become the Green Ninja….but who? The boys couldn’t wait to find out.

I have received as mentioned above a stack of DVDs for

2x very lucky readers.

Winner #1 will receive: The Jungle Bunch, Zhu Zhu Pets – Quest for Zhu (the first ever movie), Nim’s Island & Despicable Me. Prize Value approx. $80
