An all new LEGO STAR WARS show is hitting Disney XD on Monday, June 20th (10am EST) and because it is the premiere week there will be a new episode every day from Monday to Thursday. The show is called LEGO Star Wars™: The Freemaker Adventures and it is set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. This is an action comedy, as only LEGO can do, and follows the Freemakers. The Freemakers are a family of sibling scavengers who operate a salvage and repair shop in space. With the show being set during the original trilogy we will be seeing some familiar faces, and places, from the Star Wars universe. I’m excited to see who shows up. There will also be some brand new LEGO construction sets based on the Freemakers and their adventures (on shelves in June – perfect timing to build alongside the show). I think it may be about time that I let the kids in on the secret that I have dozens of Star Wars themed LEGO sets in our basement that have been just waiting to be opened and played with.

But before the show airs the kids and I can and explore the new LEGO® Star Wars™ Force Builder app (available now) to keep inspiring their building adventures. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Builder app allows anyone to create their own “ugly”, allowing iPhone and Android users the ability to prototype unique builds, offering thousands of configurations to inform and inspire your own real-life LEGO builds. Here is a trailer for the show.

Review: Slugterra: Return of the Elementals DVD

Slugterra: Return of the Elementals

The DVD came out on September 16 but I just received it the other day. You can still pick up Slugterra: Return of the Elementals on DVD and if you are a Slugterra fan then you are going to absolutely want to have a copy of it to watch. The movie has a huge reveal and was really satisfying to watch. I am very excited that I finally have my own copy of the movie. Eva has yet to see it but she’s gonna love it and also love the Fire Elemental figure that was sent along with the movie. Here is the trailer.

The movie picks up a little while after the previous movie ended. The previous movie being Slugterra: The Ghoul from Beyond. Eva was not a fan of that one. She did not like seeing Eli in a zombie like state.

I had thought that this movie was the end and I was super bummed out about that however I just checked out the Nerd Corps website and there is a press release that has made me happy again. This is the line that got me: “Nerd Corps Entertainment announced today that it has greenlit a third season (13 episodes) of its hit boys action property Slugterra, following a year of top ratings, toy sell-outs and new licensing deals for the brand around the globe.”

The press release also mentions that there will be another Slugterra movie called Slug Fu Showdown. I don’t know when that will be out but it is currently in production alongside the new episodes and 17 one minute Slugisodes. So more Slugterra is a great thing! I’ve go to tell Eva.
