Utapau Troopers

We were able to see the preliminary visuals of most of the sets expected for early 2014, except for three of them: 75036 Utapau Troopers75045 Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon et 75046 Coruscant Police Gunship.

Some information has been provided by those who have been able to access the official visuals of two of these three sets, I will summarize all that for you below:

75036 Utapau Troopers : This Battle Pack includes 2 x 212th Battalion Clone Troopers and 2 x Airborne Clone Troopers. The public price is 16.99 €, as for the other Battle Packs (75034 Death Star Troopers et 75035 Kashyyyk Troopers).

75045 Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon : The minifigs of the sets are those of Plo Koon (New version), Commander Wolffe (New version), a new Wolf Pack Clone Trooper and a Droid Destroyer. The advertised public price is 49.99 €.

In another register, the public price of sets of the MicroFighters range is fixed at 9.99 €.

Small remark concerning the public prices of the new products, I generally refrain from publishing them knowing that they are only indicative and that it is always possible, and this even from the exit of the sets, to find them much cheaper in particular at amazon.

I haven't bought a set at its public price for years, except maybe a few large exclusive boxes that are difficult to find elsewhere than on the LEGO Shop, even if they always end up being sold at amazon, Cdiscount or even Avenue des Jeux. a few months after their release.

During New York Comic Con, a Super Pack DLC was announced (See this article), here is the final visual.

We find in this DLC: Thanos, A-Bomb, Beta Ray Bill, Falcon, Dark Phoenix, Winter Soldier, Symbiote Spider-Man as well as Hawkeye (Classic Suit). Also available are Spider-Mobile, Hawkeye's Sky Cycle and 10 new vehicles.

This DLC is obviously provided when purchasing the game in store (in the US) with a code printed on the purchase receipt.

LEGO The Movie: Lord Business

In this time of visual scarcity, we do with what we find ... Here are two of the characters from The LEGO Movie: Above, the big bad guy from the story, Lord Business, which is clearly at the helm of the multinational Octan and below the vicious biker (seen in the film trailer), a chestnut tree from American cinema, both of whom will grapple with Emmet in the film due out in February 2014.

You find the final list of sets from the film in this article or in the section dedicated to products derived from the film on Pricevortex.

The two visuals presented here are taken from a cardboard support allowing you to have your picture taken in the company of these minifigs, of which you will find other views on the flickr gallery by Bill Murphy aka murphquake.
