How does THE LEGO

®

MOVIE 2

™

link back to THE LEGO MOVIE

™

?

THE LEGO

®

MOVIE 2

™

kicks oﬀ exactly where the ﬁ rst movie ends, with the ‘DUPLO

®

Invasion’ when the little

sister comes down to the basement to play with her brother Finn, with their dad’s giant LEGO display. The

movie then skips forward a few years and we ﬁ nd ourselves in the aftermath of the DUPLO attack, in the

makeshift citadel of ‘Apocalypseburg’, which has been crudely constructed from the debris of Bricksburg.

After years of battling to defend their new realm, all our favourite heroes have become gritty, hardened and

more edgy, …except of course for Emmet, who refuses to have anything but a positive outlook on life. That is

until a mysterious spacecraft appears, piloted by the formidable General Mayhem! She abducts all his friends

to the far-oﬀ galaxy known as the ‘Systar System’, leaving Emmet no choice but to try and rescue the gang!

‘But can Emmet toughen up and be the ‘man’ he thinks Lucy wants him to be?’ That’s the question that only

‘THE LEGO MOVIE 2’ can answer!

How well do you think the model captures the spirit of THE LEGO MOVIE 2?

It captures the feeling of the ﬁ rst act perfectly. We made the ruined Statue of Liberty the focal point of the

model, selected the most iconic scenes from the introduction to Apocalypseburg, and incorporated them

around the structure. Justin Ramsden (the Senior Model Designer) has done an amazing job expanding on

what you actually see in the movie, by creating individual dwellings for each of the characters, while adding

fun details and accessories that tie in with their personalities.

What is your favourite feature or function in the model?

I love the dramatic silhouette of the model in its entirety. It’s a real showstopper and will be absolutely great to

display. The interpretation of the statue is spot-on, and I think fans will really appreciate the clever ‘modularity’

designed into the build and how each compartment can be removed so you can get right in there to see the

incredible details. I am also really pleased we have been able to include a selection of DC Comics characters

in this set, a fully kitted out post-apocalyptic version of LEGO Batman

™

, Green Lantern

™

and Harley Quinn

™

.

MIKE MITCHELL

Director

Apocalypseburg is a tough, gritty, heckish place to live. It is designed to contrast

with the bright and fun Bricksburg from THE LEGO

®

MOVIE

™

. Our dusty Apoca-

™

. Our dusty Apoca-

™

lypseburg shows how our characters have struggled for years after the DUPLO

®

invasion. It also demonstrates how Finn, the older brother who is behind the story

in the ﬁ rst movie, is growing up and shifting his sense of play.

TRISHA GUM

Co-Director

We wanted the Statue of Liberty to be the central point of the citadel.

So many disaster movies use a ruined version of this iconic statue to highlight

the gravitas of destruction the world has faced… we wanted to play up that

trope and parody it in our movie.

MATTHEW ASHTON

Executive Producer/Vice President of

Design at the LEGO Group

The haphazard architecture of Apocalypseburg was designed to suggest that the

characters have repurposed the remnants and rubble of their destroyed town,

Bricksburg. The dusty earth tones and muted shades were used to contrast the

only positive force left in the citadel, Emmet, a shining, bright-orange beacon of

hope, who continues to believe ‘Everything is AWESOME!’ despite the ‘heck-hole’

he has found himself living in.

When we left Emmet and his best brick buddies at the end of THE LEGO

®

MOVIE

™

, he was the sweetest,

most optimistic guy you could meet. In THE LEGO MOVIE 2

™

, however, Emmet’s eternal optimism and

master-building skills have been put to the ultimate test – Bricksburg is in ruins, and everyone is just trying

to survive in the ensuing chaos. The future of play itself is at stake.

Apocalypseburg is Emmet’s new, haphazard-looking hometown. Refabricated from parts of the now defunct

Bricksburg, the model comprises 3,178 bricks and 12 miniﬁ gure characters. It has all the post-apocalyptic

mayhem, action and humour to let you recreate some of your favourite movie scenes, plus a few extra

locations. And, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without imaginative building techniques that push your

LEGO bricks to new limits. Discover hidden references and funny surprises, functions and details as you

build and play, and you can even expand the set with your own creative ideas and designs. The fate of

Apocalypseburg is in your hands!

Meet the team behind the model. How did the harmonious Bricksburg turn into the dystopian wasteland

that is Apocalypseburg? How have Lucy, Batman

™

and all your other favourite characters adapted to the

drastic decline in living standards? And where can they even get coﬀ ee nowadays? Find out in the interviews

with the movie directors and the LEGO designers.

JOEL DAVID BAKER

Concept Designer at the LEGO Group

Q&A with Joel

What was the most fun part of designing this new model?

The attitude and style of the post-apocalyptic wasteland was incredibly

fun to build. It was interesting to try to capture the “roughly cobbled

together” look and feel of it, while at the same time making it a sturdy

LEGO

®

model. My favourite part to design was Lady Liberty’s head with

the details of her crown and her stoic expression.

What does a Concept Designer do at the LEGO Group that is diﬀerent

from other Designers?

We focus on generating new ideas and communicating those ideas.

Sometimes the idea is put into a drawing or digital build; sometimes it’s

a quick doodle with a few words on a sticky note! It can be new themes,

a new set, or even new elements. We’ll discuss the various ideas, pick

which ones to build as concept models, and then choose our favourite to

reﬁne into a LEGO set. It is a very collaborative eﬀort. This type of design

means building from scratch with a lot of passion, a bit of research, and

tons of inspiration.

What sources of inspiration did you have?

A lot of the inspiration came from working with Patrick Hanenberger (Pro

-

duction Designer) and the Concept Artists and Animators, our wonderful

Directors Mike Mitchell and Trisha Gum, and our brilliant writers and

Producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller. They were all very open to adding

as many ideas, jokes, and references as we could cram in.

How many sketch versions of this model did you do before reaching

the ﬁnal version?

As a team, we sketched and dreamed up several diﬀerent versions and

it evolved quite a bit from start to ﬁnish. Some versions did not include

the Statue of Liberty but represented other parts of Apocalypseburg, and

some were used as artwork to help create the movie scenes. It is fun to

look back and compare the ﬁnal concept model with the ﬁnished set.

What were the most challenging and the most important features?

It was important to keep the dramatic proportions and angles, which

meant that getting the scale right was key. Finding that balance was a

fun challenge. I wanted it to be believable that the characters belonged

there but still keep the feeling of a massive statue looming overhead.

The most challenging part was creating the leaning angles and the

“spiky-everywhere” look and feel, all while making sure it could be built

in a sturdy way. It took a bit of math, testing, and discussions to ﬁgure

out how to support the statue’s torch and head at an angle without any

vertical support. Pythagorean triples saved the day again! It is always fun

to push the limits of the LEGO System. Thankfully Justin ﬁgured out how

to make the angles buildable and how to make it into a proper LEGO set.

He absolutely nailed it.

What are your favourite details in the model?

Ooh… The secret home for the sewer babies is just hilarious. And the

various Easter eggs we’ve included. You can look for little hints to the

running gag that maybe Batman

™

still hasn’t gotten over his relationship

with Lucy. We tried to include a lot of living spaces for the miniﬁgures

in the set, like a place for Lucy to brood at the top. The idea of a coﬀee

shop in this environment is

so funny to me, because really, what IS a

coﬀee shop in a post-apocalyptic

setting, anyway?

JUSTIN RAMSDEN

Senior Model Designer

at the LEGO Group

Q&A with Justin

What was the most fun part about designing this new model?

We had so many awesome assets to work with from the movie studio

(such as concept art, digital builds of Apocalypseburg and movie

animatics), whilst also having the creative freedom to expand on the

storytelling from the movie. However personally, the most fun that I had

designing the model came from the buildings around the Statue. These

small architectures went through lots of diﬀ erent stages and testing to

ﬁ nd out what worked and what didn’t. I took existing elements and tried

to think how they would be used in this post-apocalyptic world. For

instance, an old truck formed a hot tub, a train carriage became a gym

(for ‘training’…) and a shipping container has been turned into a barber

salon – all locations that we don’t see in the ﬁ lm but that I feel could

exist in this world.

How did you go about reﬁ ning Joel’s concept model?

Joel’s concept model was a great starting point. I took his initial sketch,

poured out a huge tub of LEGO

®

elements, got on my hands and knees

and started building. The main goal was to see how much further I

could enhance the concept model and create a full 360-degree play

experience that also captured the icons from its on-screen counterpart.

We all wanted people to just fall in love with Apocalypseburg and I also

wanted to include as many details as possible to add even more depth

to the characters and the scenes that fans could play out. I worked

with both physical models and digital building and I ended up creating

about thirty diﬀ erent sketch versions, making iteration after iteration

until I got to the ﬁ nal product. Constructing the face of the Statue of

Liberty was particularly tricky, especially when you are using predomi-

nately square-ish parts to create organic curves. Often when you’re in

the middle of doing something else, for example cooking at home, you

suddenly think of a solution. “How can the eyebrows be built?” Perhaps

that’s why I gravitated to using the hot dog elements.

Are there any new elements in the set fans should look for?

We’ve created some amazing elements for THE LEGO MOVIE 2

™

, includ-

ing new armour parts and a wig. Batman

™

has really taken advantage

of this new Apocalypseburg lifestyle and has cool new armour made

of old tires. Other than that, LEGO fans will probably enjoy all the sand

and olive green bricks in the set. We also managed to bring back the

barbed wire element for this set, which I know a few fans will welcome

back! Which is your favourite functionality in the model? My favourite

play feature in the model is a chair-kicking function - it’s a reference

to a scene in THE LEGO MOVIE

™

where Bad Cop loses his temper and

kicks a chair across the room. It also doubles-up as a de-stressor tool

to release any frustration…

If you lived in Apocalypseburg, where would your home be? What

would it look like?

You’d ﬁ nd me scavenging the wastelands of Apocalypseburg using

found LEGO parts from destroyed buildings and vehicles to create new

and interesting creations…!

ganged-up with the rag-tag ruﬃ ans of

Apocalypseburg! Harley is ﬁ tting in well

– she is pretty handy with a baseball bat,

so she’s great at keeping those brick-

munching baddies at bay. Harley admits

she has been tied up in some crazy

capers in her time…. but Emmet’s rescue

plan sounds like an absolute ‘suicide

mission’!

GREEN LANTERN

™

Not exactly the sharpest tool in the Justice

League toolbox, Green Lantern

™

is always

with the best intensions – but having lost

his power-ring in all the post-apocalyptic

chaos, that hand isn’t particularly useful

anymore! Not letting that minor issue

dissuade him, Green Lantern loves to tag

along for the ride and latches onto ‘the

League’ so he can hang with his Super-

buddies at any opportunity (whether they

want him to or not)!

SCRIBBLE COP

President Business may have wiped

the smile oﬀ Good Cop’s face in

THE LEGO

®

MOVIE

™

, but he wouldn’t

get much use out of that smile here in

Apocalypseburg anyhow… There isn’t a

trace of Good Cop left, so Scribble Cop’s

head now swivels from ‘bad’ to ‘scribbled’.

He has also reverted to his old, bad habit

of furniture ﬂ inging and chair kicking.

Grrrrrr!!!!!

CHAINSAW DAVE

Laid-back no longer, ‘Surfer Dave’ now

goes by the gnarly name ‘Chainsaw Dave’!

Those sketchy DUPLO

®

Aliens have wiped

out any opportunity for him to surf, so

dried-up Dave is letting out his frustrations

by getting choppy with a chainsaw rather

than ripping through the waves!

LARRY THE BARISTA

Long gone are the days when Larry could

charge $37 for an ‘over-priced’ coﬀ ee.

Larry is now the chief proprietor and head

barista for ‘Coﬀ ee Un-chained’, where

his sole job is serving the civilians of

Apocalypseburg with ‘the bitter liquid that

provides the only semblance of pleasure

left in these dark times!’

“WHERE ARE MY

PANTS?” GUY

Permanently trouser-less “Where are my

pants?” Guy still hasn’t tracked down his

missing trousers – and now that the world

has descended into chaos, his search

hasn’t gotten any easier. In between

DUPLO

®

invasions, “Where are my pants?”

Guy can be found sifting through piles

of rubble in the quest to ﬁ nd his pesky

trousers!

MO-HAWK

Just as prickly as she looks, this spikey

civilian has a point to prove and she is not

going to rest until she has poked those

annoying aliens right back to wherever

they came from!

FUSE

This masked warrior has the shortest fuse

of the gang. There is no messing with him

– one false move and he is gonna blow!

ROXXI

This bruiser isn’t afraid to stand her ground

and is ready for a bit of rough and tumble

if anyone dares to attack her town!
