The desk in my office is littered with toys. I have some MEGA Bloks Hot Wheels toys from a review last week. I also have some BrickStix from a review I was supposed to write since last Toy Fair. We’ll be using them with Eva’s LEGO movie. Speaking of Eva’s LEGO movie the desk also has a couple of set pieces for the movie which is turning into a monster of its own. She has a ton of ideas for it. We’ve been building all sorts of set pieces for this movie and have a cast list and more. I even downloaded the LEGO Movie Maker app so that we can start shooting the movie. I’ll be learning about how to shoot stop motion animation and how to make the LEGO figures walk and move smoothly.
I have been familiar with the LEGO Legends of Chima sets of toys and last year when I went to Toy Fair and actually got to go inside the LEGO booth I learned that LEGO Chima was a major cross platform initiative. There would be the toys, a cartoon and also video games. One of those games was LEGO® Legends of CHIMA™ Online. I personally never played the game on my computer but have been enjoying it very much on my iPhone.
I choose to be from the Bear tribe in the game and am having fun going on missions to create my outpost, search for bricks and studs as well as other items. I like how the game interactions with other players are limited only to select phrases so there is no sharing of personal information. This is very important as a parent looking for a game for their kids to play.
That being said, this is a free to play model game but you can buy memberships or gold bricks which help you get ahead in the game faster. You can also earn gold bricks from missions but you accumulate those slower than if you were a member or you flat out bought a bunch of gold bricks. I personally don’t think that you need them to enjoy the game. There are always things to do whether you have all the fanciest equipment or not.
