Mixels |
- “There it is... Mixopolis, my town. A city in spectacular living color. A city of mixing, for mixing. Here, Mixels would mix at the drop of a Cubit. The city was colorful and bright, and was always gleaming with new mixing possibilities. Mixopolis was my town, and it always would be. But then, things changed.”
- — Booger

Production Information
- The special was finished and delivered in July 2016, three months ahead of its premiere date.[2]

- This is the series finale, as LEGO cancelled production of the franchise's toyline after 2016, ending with Series 9.
- This episode was initially set to air on October 29, 2016 in the Netherlands, but was pushed forward and replaced with the initially-scheduled Scooby-Doo! Mask of the Blue Falcon on October 15, 2016, very likely due to dubbing issues with the latter production.
- This is the only episode of the entire series to air in the US with a regular TV-Y7 rating instead of a TV-Y7 (FV) rating.
