We all know these cases covered with studs sold in particular on eBay or amazon under various brands. It's cool, it looks like LEGO, but it's not really LEGO ...
But a good surprise arrives from the New York Toy Fair 2013 with the announcement by the accessories manufacturer Belkin from a range of officially licensed LEGO cases. In fact, these cases had already been presented on the Belkin booth at CES in Las Vegas in early January, but had more or less gone unnoticed.
The first models marketed will be intended for Apple products with an iPhone version and a model for iPod Touch. Belkin will consider extending this range to other models if it is successful.
Below is the official visual of the manufacturer which presents the different models that will be marketed soon.
The official press release can be found at this address.
It is on reading an article, interesting moreover, published on thebrickblogger.com (Part one here et second part there) that the idea occurred to me to approach the subject of "LEGO fetishism" here: A TFOL (Teenage fan of the brand) tells about his passion for LEGO and in particular for the "collection" of digital files of all kinds relating to the LEGO universe.
Instructions in PDF format or various and varied videos uploaded by the manufacturer (advertisements, animated series), this TFOL accumulates on its hard drive everything that LEGO can offer digitally.
Where does the collection end and where does the obsession begin? I know that some AFOLs even keep the transparent bags (numbered or not) that contain the parts. Does a yellow bag stamped with the brand obtained in a LEGO store deserve to be carefully kept between two pages of a LEGO magazine, wisely stored in its original blister pack?
Among LEGO fans, there are therefore those who do not hesitate to part with too bulky boxes and keep only the bare minimum. They do not devote any particular cult to the red and yellow logo and their priority is often to reduce the inconvenience associated with the storage of their sets.
Others, on the contrary, strive to conserve as much packaging as possible, or even waste (sheets of used stickers, empty bags, various flyers) only because they are LEGO stamped products.
I don't judge either one or the other, situating myself somewhere in the middle of these two extremes: I carefully keep the boxes and the instructions for the sets in my collection. I carefully open the polybags, and pile the copies of the LEGO Club Magazine in a corner, as if the presence of the LEGO logo gives them some value to me.
And you, where are you in this space between collection and obsession? If you are concerned, how do you justify the need to keep all these objects, packaging, sachets, etc ...? I'm curious to have your feedback on this topic in the comments.
FBTB uploaded his photo galleries taken at the LEGO stand during the New York Toy Fair, and I take this opportunity to offer you a selection here with the most interesting minifigs from the LEGO Lord of the Rings range from mid-2013.
You can discover all of FBTB's photo galleries on their flickr space.

We note that the minifig of the set 75016 Homing Droid Spider with the "Dark Flesh" face that we believed to be Adi Gallia is in fact Stass Allie.
By the way, I'm really more and more intrigued by The Yoda Chronicles now that I've seen JEK-14 with its translucent arm and white lightsaber handle ...

Seen on the photo gallery of toyark.com, this limited edition set produced in 150 copies and which seems to be intended to mark the launch of The Yoda Chronicles series.
Verification made, this is indeed the gift offered to participants of the "LEGO Collectors Event"which took place this morning and which will sell very expensive on eBay in a few days ....
