Those following already know that an updated version of the Visual Dictionary Star Wars edited by DK (Dorling Kindersley) will be released in May 2014.

This new version subtitled "Updated & Expanded"will grow by 48 pages and will integrate everything that the LEGO Star Wars universe has produced since 2009 (TCW, SWTOR, etc ...). It will obviously be delivered like the previous version with an exclusive minifig.

And this exclusive minifigure will be .... Luke Skywalker (again ...) if we believe the visual of the cover of the book as it currently appears at amazon.

So, minifig of Luke with his medal identical to the one provided with the version of the book released in 2009 or unpublished version of Luke Skywalker? Not to mention that the Luke Skywalker mention could simply be provisional while waiting for a final visual of the cover of the book ...

In the meantime, I remind you that you can pre-order this book (in English) for a little over 15 € at amazon (See the sections Books in English on pricevortex.com).

Amazon currently offers the set 79007 Battle at the Black Gate (656 pieces, 5 minifigs, a horse and an eagle) at 49.21 € instead of 79.90 € (LEGO public price), which should allow you to acquire two copies to get a real double door. 

In the same range, the set 79006 The Council of Elrond (243 pieces, 4 minifigs) is currently offered at 25.90 € instead of 39.99 € (LEGO public price).

Update : Same offer at Pixmania currently with the set 79007 Battle at the Black Gate at 49.21 € and the set 79006 The Council of Elrond at 24.30 €.

I get a lot of emails about the opening of the LEGO Store in Disney Village, some of them sent by people, probably on the blog via Google, who didn't understand that I have nothing to do with LEGO, the LEGO Store, Disneyland Paris, etc ... and who insult me ​​copiously because they went there yesterday and the Store was closed ...

So we recap and we take stock: 

Did you receive an invitation to the Grand Opening of the Disney Village LEGO Store which was to take place from January 14 to 19, 2014?

You have undoubtedly received or you will receive a new mail which will inform you that everything is canceled and that no date has yet been set for the celebrations planned for the opening of this LEGO Store.

And you will receive a third letter, a new invitation, when a new date has been set ...

LEGO communicates with those who have been "selected" to participate in the event, we will not complain, but a more general information of the customers who impatiently await the opening of this LEGO Store would be of good quality. ..

The last publicly available information from LEGO indicated an opening the 27 September 2013... It was never officially invalidated by LEGO and all the information we have since comes from various and varied forums ...

A look back at the Juniors range, with the launch by LEGO ofa dedicated site to this series of sets targeting 4-7 year olds, the first sets of which will be launched in March 2014.

Among the sets of this year, the two boxes illustrated here: 10672 Batman: Defend the Batcave et 10665 Spider-Man: Spider-Car Pursuit which obviously interest collectors.

The Batcave already has the full attention of my youngest son, aged 4 and a half, who finds everything that interests him there: "A car, a Batman, a villainous Joker with a green hammer, a Robin to help Batman and a cell to lock the villain in there".

As for the set with Spider-Man and Venom, it's less opulent, but there is still a car, so my son finds it cool .... It's true that at that age, they may be. be less demanding than us about the contents of the boxes .... " As long as we can have fun with it.." as they say.

Just known, the LEGO Star Wars 30244 Anakin's Jedi Intercept polybag is already on sale at eBay and bricklink.

We do not yet know the mode of distribution of this bag, the content of which does not have enough to excite regulars of Star Wars polybags: The vessel offered here is almost identical to that of the bag. 6966 Jedi Starfighter released in 2005, except it is green ...
