LEGO Batman 76012 The Riddler Chase

Here is a "real" photo of the LEGO Super Heroes DC 76012 The Riddler Chase set scheduled for January 2014 and which should not be officially presented until Friday at Comic Con.

We get confirmation that it is indeed Batman in version "Beware The Batman"behind the wheel of the Batmobile, also bearing the logo used in the new animated series, that The Riddler is equipped with his iconic staff and that Flash's helmet / mask is different from the version seen in the LEGO Batman II video game.

Just to add a layer, here are the four minifigs whose prices will undoubtedly reach a new level on eBay, but presented in their rather successful official packaging which allows to keep them away from dust.

At this price, the plastic box is not too much ...

I remind you that today, 350 copies of the minifigure of Spider-Woman will be distributed. Tomorrow, the minifigure of Spider-Man will be distributed in turn with also 350 copies available.

Things will get tough on Saturday and Sunday with Superman (Black Suit) et Green Arrow, which is limited to 200 copies. Prices on eBay (Click here) should reach new heights with these very limited quantities ...

LEGO 50004 Story Mixer

We knew the LEGO reference (50004) but we didn't know much about this new board game with a strange name: Story Mixer.

The reference was created several months ago at amazon (See here) but without ever having been available in stock or for pre-order. This is also the case for the other games of this year (50003 Batman, 50011 The Battle of Helm's Deep) which are currently only available through the LEGO Shop. Some of you may have found them in store, so please let us know in the comments if so.

I take this opportunity to clarify that the persistent rumor concerning the definitive discontinuation by LEGO of its range of board games has never been confirmed (or denied for that matter) by the manufacturer (See this article).

Finally, here are quality visuals of this upcoming game (or not finally ...) whose rules can be summarized roughly as follows: The central wheel is used to designate one of the micro-models provided and the player must invent a story incorporating this model. The next player does the same with a new turn of the wheel and must integrate into his story the model that the wheel designates as well as the model of the previous player. Hence the name of Story Mixer...

Everything is played by 3 to 6 players in short games of 20 to 30 minutes.

In short, what I remember here is above all the inventory which seems very varied as well as the various very successful micro-models. The game can of course be rather fun if the participants put their effort into it ...

LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter San Diego Comic Con 2013 Exclusive

Another small exclusive box (See the exclusive set The Hobbit on lordofthebrick.com), just to make us spend some money on eBay with this 105-piece set containing the JEK-14 minifig delivered in the set 75018 JEK-14's Stealth Starfighter released this year and a mini version of the Stealth Starfighter.

I don't yet have the selling price of the box on the LEGO stand, but I'm betting on $ 40 (Edit: price confirmed). The number of boxes on sale is very limited: 200 sets per day.
