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-
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.
Welcome to
Apocalypseburg!
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 diff erent
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
refi ne into a LEGO set. It is a very collaborative eff ort. 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.

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

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

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
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 dont 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…!

Q&A with Mike & Paul

apturing all the details
What were your jobs as Graphic Designers on this set?
Mike: We worked with Justin Ramsden (Senior Model Designer) to help
design the decoration stickers for the model - 51 in total - as well as the
minifi gure characters. Paul: Both the main characters and the extras
have a rougher look than what you saw in the fi rst movie. We designed
the main characters fi rst, and then we created a variety of template
torsos and legs that the Warner Bros. Studio team could mix and match
to create extras.
What was the design process like for you for this set?
Paul: We went to Los Angeles to meet with the animators and designers
at the movie studios early in the process, and they provided us with
references, fi lm clips, animatics, etc. Together we came up with a whole
list of ideas for details that would help defi ne this world and the char-
acters in it. And then we kept bouncing ideas back and forth; we had
weekly check-ins with the studios and fi ne-tuned the designs together.
Mike: We’d been working on the movie for nearly two years before we
started designing the decorations specifi cally for this set, so we had
a good idea what we wanted to do. Together with Justin, we would
highlight areas that needed decoration. We’d then use the style guide
and all our reference material and assets to create Apocalypseburg as
accurately as possible.
What sources of inspiration did you have?
Pa
ul: Our main goal was to show off each character’s personality and
their part in the story. Every little detail you see in their costumes and in
the model itself was chosen with that in mind. We used the fi rst movie
as a starting point, but the mood in the sequel is a bit more up in age,
so the look and feel had to refl ect that newfound seriousness and dark-
ness. Dystopia – but with the familiar LEGO
®
humour, of course. Mike:
The teams at Warner Bros. Studios encouraged us to be creative and
come up with our own designs as well. So there are lots of hidden se-
crets to discover in this set! We managed to sneak in a few references
to pop culture and other LEGO movies, like THE LEGO BATMAN
MOVIE
and THE LEGO NINJAGO
®
MOVIE.
What is your favourite feature or function in the model?
Mike: For a model that looks quite intimidating in size, it’s actually sur-
prisingly easy to take apart and access the interior. You can separate
it into sections and play with them individually. Paul: It’s really hard to
pick a favourite! The overall look and concept of a destroyed Statue of
Liberty as a makeshift home for minifi gures is so funny. And I love all
the hidden Easter eggs and surprises.

EMMET
Still as positive and perky as ever, Emmet
continues to believe that “Everything is
Awesome!” despite living in the most
‘heckish’ place imaginable: ‘Apocalypse-
burg’. Oblivious to the hardships of resid-
ing in this crumbling, dystopian wasteland,
Emmet loves to start his day with a trip
through town to pick-up his coff ee order
(one black and one with a touch of cream
and 25 sugars) for Lucy and himself. Inca-
pable of mustering a single grim thought,
Emmet dreams of ‘Rebuilding the Future’
and has secretly built the perfect home for
his ‘special’ best friend!
LUCY
Once a rebel fi ghting for a noble cause,
Lucy’s only mission now is fi ghting to sur-
vive! After enduring countless attacks from
the DUPLO
®
Aliens, Lucy is now hardened
and battle-ready. Keeping lookout from her
surveillance tower on the torch of a crum-
bling Statue of Liberty, Lucy spends her
time narrating her own grim thoughts while
awaiting the next onslaught from those re-
lentlessly greedy DUPLO invaders! Despite
her dark and brooding demeanour, she
still cares deeply about Emmet, but she is
beginning to question whether he is tough
enough to survive these troubling times.
BATMAN
Self-presumed leader of ‘Apocalypseburg’,
Batman has no problem fi tting into this
dar
ker, grittier world that now surrounds
him! Kitted out in his custom-forged Battle
armour, he arrogantly proclaims ‘This
apocalypse looks good on me!’ Perched
above his purpose-built bat-bunker,
Batman
directs the ‘battle cars’ to attack.
When they once again roll back defeated,
he is there to ultimately swoop in and save
the day! “You’re Welcome!”

EMMET
Still as positive and perky as ever, Emmet
continues to believe that “Everything is
Awesome!” despite living in the most
‘heckish’ place imaginable: ‘Apocalypse-
burg’. Oblivious to the hardships of resid-
ing in this crumbling, dystopian wasteland,
Emmet loves to start his day with a trip
through town to pick-up his coff ee order
(one black and one with a touch of cream
and 25 sugars) for Lucy and himself. Inca-
pable of mustering a single grim thought,
Emmet dreams of ‘Rebuilding the Future’
and has secretly built the perfect home for
his ‘special’ best friend!
HARLEY QUINN
This tricksy troublemaker has ditched
the ‘Rogues’ of gritty Gotham and now
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 isnt 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!!!!!
LUCY
Once a rebel fi ghting for a noble cause,
Lucy’s only mission now is fi ghting to sur-
vive! After enduring countless attacks from
the DUPLO
®
Aliens, Lucy is now hardened
and battle-ready. Keeping lookout from her
surveillance tower on the torch of a crum-
bling Statue of Liberty, Lucy spends her
time narrating her own grim thoughts while
awaiting the next onslaught from those re-
lentlessly greedy DUPLO invaders! Despite
her dark and brooding demeanour, she
still cares deeply about Emmet, but she is
beginning to question whether he is tough
enough to survive these troubling times.
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
hasnt 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!
BATMAN
Self-presumed leader of ‘Apocalypseburg’,
Batman has no problem fi tting into this
darker, grittier world that now surrounds
him! Kitted out in his custom-forged Battle
armour, he arrogantly proclaims ‘This

he is there to ultimately swoop in and save

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 isnt afraid to stand her ground
and is ready for a bit of rough and tumble
if anyone dares to attack her town!
