We have already been able to discover the contents of the 30166 Robin and Redbird Cycle polybag but a photo of the "real" bags is always interesting.

It is FBTB which publishes this photograph of the polybag in question obtained during a purchase in a store of the brand Toys R Us in Canada.

This bag should arrive on eBay or Bricklink quickly. No info on its availability in France for the moment.

It's signed and Marvel officially announces it: Robert Downey Jr. will return to play Tony Stark in the two planned sequels of the Avengers saga.

The big money issues are now resolved, so we will have the pleasure to see Robert Downey Jr. in the armor of Iron Man and obviously get some additional minifigs from the actor. Two films are signed: Avengers 2 and Avengers 3.

Avengers 2, slated for release on March 1, 2015, will be directed as the debut opus by Joss Whedon.

It's not to displease me, continuity is important when it comes to characters that we get used to over the course of the different films. Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark, he managed to make the character his own and win over many fans, including yours truly.

30166 Robin and Redbird Cycle

It is on a flyer from the Toys R Us brand in Canada that a Eurobricks forumer (thatblockoguy) found this visual of the LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe polybag 30166 Robin and Redbird Cycle which we had known about for several months already.

It will be offered during a future promotional operation.
Nothing exceptional, the minifig is not exclusive (Delivered in the sets released in 2012 6860 The Batcave et 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape), but as a good collector that I am, I hope to see this polybag arrive soon at home ...

The LEGO Movie: The Official Trailer

The official trailer of the film expected for 2014 and including we already talked here, The LEGO Movie, is online.
In the US casting for the voices: Will Ferrel, Will Arnett, Chris Pratt, Elisabeth Banks, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.

Be careful, this is not about stop-motion, but digital effects perfectly imitating the result obtained in stop-motion. The result is visually quite impressive.

For the rest, we will have to wait for the French version to discover the planned voice casting and see if the finesse of the dialogues and the humor will support the conversion.

US release scheduled for February 2014.

And if you're a fan of A-ha, turn off the sound ...
