To be honest, I was expecting something darker with this new series called The Yoda Chronicles.

According to the trailer, we are heading straight for something in the vein of The Padawan Menace or The Empire Strikes Out, the two humorous animated short films that hit the mark during their TV broadcast.

The trailer is available on the official LEGO website at this address by clicking on the luminous point on the wall on the left or directly below.

Seen on flickr, this superb staging by Iain Heath alias Ocher Jelly.

Difficult to find anything to say about this creation, everything is millimeter.

From the expressions on the faces of Bilbo, all proud with his ring, to that of Gollum, anxious and envious, through the drape of the coat of the hobbit or the posture of the one who was once a hobbit it's perfect.

Public chat Ocher Jelly's flickr gallery you will be able to see some other photos of this high-flying achievement.

As some of you may have noticed, Hoth Bricks turns two these days.

Two years that more and more of you, very young, young and old, have regularly come here to read, comment and share on the LEGO universe.

Two years during which I shared with you my favorites and my rants, without any objectivity and with all my bad faith.

Two years during which I also learned a lot, especially thanks to you, about the world of AFOLs and LEGO enthusiasts in general.

So, no question of stopping there, it started again. 2013 will be a big year for all of us LEGO fans, and I wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

And if you're planning to be around next year again, that's even better.

PS: Obviously, we are going to celebrate, but give me a little time to organize myself ...

It is the season of the opening of the mini-sites relating to the ranges 2013 at LEGO.

After Galaxy squad, Legends of Chima et The Lone Ranger, here is the mini-site dedicated to the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles range.

It's still a bit empty, with only video content "LEGO TMNT: Behind the scenes"that until now it was only possible to unlock via a code.

We had already discovered a few weeks ago that LEGO was going to reissue certain sets of the Castle range under the name LEGO Legends.

Fans of this type of sets will be delighted to be able to once again find on the shelves more affordable boxes than those under licenses (LOTR, The Hobbit) which have come (temporarily?) To cannibalize this sector of the LEGO catalog.

Finally, here are the names of these sets planned for August 2013:

70400 Forest Ambush
70401 Gold Getaway
70402 The Gatehouse Raid
70403 Dragon Mountain
70404 Kings Castle
