Fridge Brilliance

  • The Big Bad getting knocked further into the outer space by a cow in the climax seems like just a bit of random humour, but remember that the final level takes place on the Moon, and the joke makes more sense. That cow was there for a reason — it jumped over the Moon!
  • Characters from the LEGO Minifigures theme are included in the roster meaning lots of costumed, historical and alien characters otherwise out of place on a city street. However, this is justified by the carnival parade hosted in one part of the city so these characters could simply walk from or towards the carnival in their costumes.
  • It might seem odd that Chase can use the skills associated with many of the costumes he acquires. Except that acquiring most of these costumes requires going through the training to use those abilities.
  • The costumes Chase acquires are organized into several categories. But three of the costumes for Forest Blackwell are in the Criminal category. At first glance, it might seem like a spoiler for those who can acquire those costumes before the reveal. But if you're paying attention, you'll notice that unlocking those costumes requires an ability that isn't unlocked until after that reveal occurs.
  • It seems strange that a competent police chief like Gleeson would suddenly decide to become mayor, only to leave the bumbling Dunby in charge in her place. At the very least, you'd think she'd leave someone in charge who is also competent. Unless this was all orchestarted by Forest Blackwell, who would want a police chief like Dunby in charge so he could easily derail any investigations into Rex Fury. Investigations that could lead to a connection between the two of them.
  • During a loading screen, Honey says it would be cool to build all 65 Super Builds, and notes that it would make up for the 65 local places he accidentally destroyed. Wait... Is it because of Honey that the Super Builds exist in the first place!?
  • Of course medics can open safes - it's said that characters with a stethoscope, not robbers, can do this.

Fridge Horror

  • There's a LEGO store in Bright Lights Plaza. Since people themselves are LEGO, just what is going on in there? Are parts of people being sold to children?
    • Lego is maybe a brand of different toys,selling flesh-like little doll.
    • Or perhaps they have miniaturized versions of bricks, scaled to be toy-size for the LEGO people.
    • Lego sells prosthesis for lego people.
    • We, as humans, have Barbie dolls, so it's not that freaky!
      • Barbie dolls aren't very realistic though...
      • That's because she's obviously had work done.
      • Who said the Minifigs were realistic?
    • Lots of things are made from Lego bricks in the world. The stores probably sell bricks, studs, and the like, not minifigures. In fact, you can break some of the set boxes and they yield nothing but bricks.
    • Another possibility is that it's for the Minifigs what Rite-Aid, Walgreens, and the like are for us.
  • Just how is Vinnie Pappalardo going to react when he learns that his favorite new mook "Chasie" is a cop? note  For all our talk on how nice a guy Vinnie is, in the end he is still a Mafia don. Or, more to the point, a Mafia don stereotype. And one thing these Mafia don stereotypes take very seriously is the concept of loyalty and betrayal — especially if the betrayal is by someone close to him. Let's just say it's very likely that Vinnie will soon put Chase... ON ICE! (Hey Moe, they still give skatin' lessons down at the ice rink, don't they?)
    • In the remastered version of the game, one of the loading screens has Frank talking about Vinnie, and he mentions hearing that he owns a shoe store, but the shoes are made of concrete. Maybe Vinnie isn't that literal-minded...
  • Anyways, WHERE'S CLARENCE FLETCHER?! We only know that he was kidnapped by Rex's goons, and given what they've done to Vinnie...
    • At least we meet him in LEGO Dimensions, so perhaps he was fine after all.
  • Now that Chan Chuang's gang has been mostly if not completely dismantled, there's a huge power vacuum in LEGO City's underworld meaning that the crime wave may not be over as every minor gang in the city rushes to fill it.
  • In the mission where Chan sends Chase to pick up Forrest Blackwell, he says the passenger is their only customer. Since that customer turns out to be the Big Bad and that person's villainy becomes public knowledge by the end of the game, that doesn't bode well for Chan's limo service.
    • Although to be fair, he's already known by public as gang leader, so his limo service probably didn't had the good reputation earlier in the game.

Fridge Logic

  • How are those cats holding out in Fireman!Chase's helmet?
    • It's a wormhole to the fire station where the cats are kept until someone wants to adopt. Or something.
    • The same technology that Farmer!Chase uses to keep the chicken under his hat.
