*** Technically correct. In ''Lego City Undercover'', Chase did technically see someone die: Vinnie Pappalardo, the AffablyEvil gangster and ice-cream factory owner. Vinnie got locked in his own freezer by Rex Fury's men, and when Chase gets him out of there he literally falls to pieces and Chase has to rebuild him. That technically means Vinnie Pappalardo died right in front of Chase, which would mean he fills the criteria for being able to see Thestrals.

*** When I played ''Lego City Undercover'' myself, [[https://youtu.be/ahJJ_7OTkeY?t=11m9s this happened]]. Even if it doesn't seem like ''the'' answer to the original Headscratcher, I'll accept it. If only you brought it up yourself.

*** Six minutes sounds shorter than the eternity at which Lego Ethan can stay underwater, though. In fact, the very sequence you mentioned helped me notice the inconsistency.[[note]]Remember how it ended with Ethan almost drowning, until Ilsa brought him back to the surface?[[/note]]

* So where in the Lego Movie timeline does this take place? Lord Business's defeat and redemption hasn't happened, but Bad Cop has already had his HeelFaceTurn and Vitruvius is already dead, which must mean it takes place in the middle of the attack on Bricksburg, so why are the gang partying in CloudCuckooland and not fighting the Micro Managers in Bricksburg? How is CloudCuckooland even there for them to party in? By that point in the film it's already been destroyed. Just where are they in the timeline?

* The Foundation Elements are objects that are important to their universe. So why would The Lego Movie's be not the piece of resistance, the film's MacGuffin, but instead [[=MetalBeard=]]'s previously unseen treasure?

** Gandalf doesn't have that ability so that Lego could try and make people [[MoneyDearBoy buy another pack]] in order to destroy silver.

** Assuming the ''LEGO Movie'''s world is set after the events of the movie (despite Lord Business still being evil), the piece of resistance is currently stuck to the tip of the kragle, so the job of Foundation Element went to something else.
*** Furthermore, since the kragle was actually Krazy Glue, it may have been so they wouldn't have to pay the royalty fees.

*** Or Business was taken from during the movie. Good Cop/Bad Cop definitely was - if he wasn't, there's no reason for him to not be Scribble Cop/Bad Cop.

** One of the reasons is probably a reference to how it was one of the prime time animated sitcoms preceding the Simpsons. The other reason probably comes down to behind-the-scenes stuff. LEGO Dimensions mostly has Warner Bros-owned franchises, with a noticeable number of third parties. ''The Jetsons'' (and ''Flinstones'', by proxy) would be first or second party, due to Warner Bros.' ownership of Hanna Barbera. Meanwhile, ''The Simpsons'' would be third party, due to 20th Century Fox owning the franchise. In conjunction with this, ''The Jetsons'' (and the ''Flintstones'')' setting appearances is just a cameo, and not part of the main story. Combine this with how strangely ''The Simpsons'' alone was utilized for ''Lego Dimensions'', and it can be guessed Traveler's Tales didn't want to go through the hassle of licensing Futurama just for a single screen.
** We can make up in-universe reasons all we want, but the most realistic reason is that LEGO probably didn't want to associate with an overly mature series such as Futurama.

Added DiffLines:

** Maybe it takes place after the events of the movie in an alternate timeline where Bianca wasn't invited to the basement. As for Lord Business, he could be pulled from before the events of the movie.
