Unfortunately, its sequel - which was initially due to be released May 2018 - has been pushed back to February 2019, almost five years since the first bowed into cinemas.
Deadline reports that The Lego Movie 2 (aptly titled The Lego Movie Sequel) is just one of a numerous number of release dates that Warner Bros has shifted.
The film will be directed by comedy writer Rob Schrab in his directorial debut. He replaces Phil Lord and Chris Miller who'll instead be steering the upcoming Han Solo Star Wars prequel with Alden Ehrenreich.
Elsewhere, while new Ben Affleck Live by Night has excitingly been brought forward from October to January 2017.
Spin-off The Lego Batman Movie is moving ahead as planned - it'll be released 10 February 2017.
Directed by Chris McKay - who worked as an animation co-director on the original alongside Lord and Miller - the film will feature all the characters you'd associate with the world of Gotham.
Robin (Michael Cera), Batgirl (Rosario Dawson) and Bruce Wayne's trusty butler, Alfred Pennyworth (Ralph Fiennes) will all appear, with Zach Galifianakis lending his voice to The Joker.
