LEGO The LEGO Movie 70840 Welcome to Apocalypseburg!

LEGO set 70840, “Welcome to Apocalypseburg!”, depicts Apocalypseburg from the world of The LEGO Movie II. Released in 2019, it belongs to the root theme The LEGO Movie and contains 3178 pieces for a postapocalyptic city build.

The model sits within The LEGO Movie theme, specifically under The LEGO Movie II. It presents Apocalypseburg as a large, character driven setting, using a rough and improvised visual language that matches the altered world shown in the film.

The set includes 3178 pieces and 13 minifigures: Emmet, Lucy Wyldstyle, Where Are My Pants? Guy, Batman, Harley Quinn, Chainsaw Dave, Bad Cop / Scribble-face Cop, Mo-Hawk, Larry the Barista, Roxxi, Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, and Fuse. The build focuses on a dense display environment with areas for staging figures and details connected to the residents of Apocalypseburg.

It suits builders who want a display piece, a play setting, or a collection anchor for The LEGO Movie II characters. Within the same theme, it is best understood as a major location set rather than a vehicle or a small scene.
