The worst thing about reading news articles on LEGO by most sites is all the puns. Well, as this a roundup, I won't try and make the article longer by throwing in brick puns. Instead I'll just build up a list of interesting links for you.

Movie News: Remember the LEGO Movie? No? Then you have probably just awoken from a coma, because it was everywhere back in whatever month that was. The sequel is coming May 26th 2017, (I was going to make a list of all the sequels and reboots and films based on video games we would have had by then, but it would have been longer than the article itself.) while the Ninjago "spin-off", as the press call it, will be released September 23rd 2016. It is to be written by the guys who do the show, but is said to be unrelated. I assume means we will still have Ninjago sets in 2016. Den of Geek

The "most likely to cause sexist comments" story of the week: A Swedish man is selling his LEGO to save his marriage. Includes 300kg of blocks, 20kg of instructions, 44kg of wheels and tyres and a "practically complete collection of Lego space range". You only need 75000 kronor. And the ability to collect ~350kg of boxes from western Sweden. The Local
