LEGO Movie 2 Welcome to Apocalypseburg Set is Awesome!

Yesterday was a fun day at the Fandads household because we received the new LEGO catalog with the latest sets coming out in January. While my children and I were excited for all of the new Star Wars sets, Darth Vader’s Castle, we also were excited to see all of the set for the new LEGO 2 movie. Little did we know that not all of the sets were on display in the catalog. There was one more that not listed or shown…until now! 

That’s right! The ginormous Welcome to Apocalypseburg set was kept in hiding until today and it is one of the biggest sets for the LEGO movie to date. Check out all of the bells and whistles that it comes with.
