I'd think it would be more important to not spoil "the kragle"

It's actually right on the front of the box for the lego set of Lord Business's Evil Lair. Just right out in the open. I'd seen the pictures (briefly), knew the Kragle was supposed to be in the set, and still had no idea what it was supposed to be until I saw the movie.

I was pretty impressed overall by the movies ability to do genuinely surprising reveals that I didn't figure out until it was basically too late. I imagine that has to be really hard to do at this point.

I saw four or five total worlds, but could only remember a couple-- Bionicle, Fabuland, and... I think the Friends line was one of them? There was a pink box that flashed by.

Yep, it's Friends, Bionicle, Fabuland, and Speed Racer.

I only caught Fabuland and Bionicle, but are you sure it was Speed Racer? It would make more sense for it to be Jack Stone, since that would complete the "minifigs that aren't standard-shaped" gag(Bionicle had minifigs too in some sets!) and why she says "we don't talk about them". Wyldstyle is a Lego racist.

I think Bionicle would've been a cool world to have visited, even if only briefly. We probably didn't because Dad doesn't have any Bionicle, Friends, etc in his display :ssh:

Speed Racer is definitely mentioned in the closing credits and I didn't notice it anywhere else in the movie, so I think so, yeah.

They spoiled it in commercials. Specifically that Lord Business was trying to glue the universe together.

Speed Racer is most definitely in there. I remember seeing it for a flash and thinking "They made Speed Racer Legos? Crazy."

I especially love Emmett's line "that's what it actually says on your birth certificate?" I think that all the time about characters with names like that.

It's also great because Wyldstyle is the sort of name an 8 year old boy would come up with as a Totally Cool Awesome Name

Regarding Vitruvius, is it more obvious to everyone else that his staff is a half eaten lollipop? I didn't see that until my gal pointed it out.

I knew it was something but there was so much going on in the movie I just couldn't devote enough thinky-time to figure out what it was.

Yeah until the big reveal I thought it was a tiny-white LEGO dowel with one of those Rock Raider green gems on top. Then I noticed the bite marks.

I did like how the movie addressed the fact that whenever you had a giant bucket of random Lego bits, eventually everything that happens to be on the floor will wind up in that bucket. And most of it is pretty gross.

I like how the ship in that scene isn't even just the one they used before zoomed out, it's one of the little mini-sets where they try to make a facsimile with as little pieces as possible.
