30215 Legolas Greenleaf

Here is a first real photo of the LEGO The Hobbit 30215 polybag with the minifig of Legolas Greenleaf, a target and a missile launcher flick fire.

This polybag is already for sale on eBay for the modest sum of 19.99 € postage included (Click here to access the ad).

Some wonder where the point is in releasing a polybag with a character like Legolas, where a generic orc would do the trick and allow fans to build an army cheaply through the purchase of multiple bags.

But these polybags are above all appeal products whose vocation is to attract new customers in the infernal circle of passion for LEGO ... And Legolas being one of the important characters of the second part of the The Hobbit trilogy and I have no doubt about the interest this bag will arouse among fans who have not yet converted to the LEGO universe.

Blinking Ewok

A little humor that doesn't hurt, here's a brickfilm directed by Kevin Ulrich and the band Brotherhood Workshop which reminds us that the Ewoks are not the nice cubs that Dorothée was promoting in her cult song "The Little Ewoks"which even earned him a Victoire de la musique in 1985.

Don't be fooled by these plush toys, although George Lucas tried to make them less scary by giving them a few blinks in the Blu-ray version of the saga. Ewoks never blink, they stare at you all the time and only think about one thing ...

The minifig of the set 76012 The Riddler Chase makes a cameo appearance in the new trailer posted by Warner and we will have to wait until the film's theatrical release next February to learn more about the exact role of Flash.
