If there is one thing that we must recognize in LEGO, it is its undeniable know-how to sell us its products ...

Below is the latest ad for two of the sets in the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes line:  76012 Batman: The Riddler Chase et 76013 The Joker Steam Roller.

The Marvel set 76018 Hulk Lab Smash, based on the excellent animated series Avengers: Assemble (Avengers: Gathering chez nous) looks like a really interesting box: The five minifig / figurines delivered are all new: Hulk with his purple shorts, Thor in a version "Classic"(also seen in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game), Falcon, The Taskmaster and MODOK.

Here are some real homemade photos of MODOK's head, and especially of the inside of this oversized head which attaches to the torso of a standard minifigure (The rest of the figure is replaced here by lambdas black pieces). 

After the visuals of the sets 79119 Mutation Chamber Unleashed et 79120 T-Rawket Sky Strike (See this post), here are two more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sets planned for 2014: 79118 Karai Bike Escape (88 pieces) and 79121 Turtle Sub Undersea Chase (684 rooms).

These four sets are based on the animated series currently airing on the Nickelodeon channel.

Come on, because we don't have any images of the Star Wars novelties yet and because it's arguably the most anticipated minifigure in the long list of sets derived from The LEGO Movie, here's a (real) photo of Benny , published on Twitter by Chris Miller one of the film's two directors.

This minifigure will be available in sets 70810 MetalBeard's Sea Cow et 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!.

Bonus: I add the trailer "Behind the Bricks", so as not to remake a ticket just for the video below ...
