LEGO Avengers: Assemble!

Since we are forced to wait patiently for LEGO to deign to show us something concrete about the continuation of the LEGO Super Heroes range, we have time to watch some brickfilms and savor the adventures of our favorite heroes brilliantly staged by a whole bunch of talented directors ....

Below are two brickfilms, the first one directed by Keshen8 (Custard Productions) and the second by Forrest Whaley alias forestfire101. To look at in order ...

LEGO Creator Expert Series

After official announcement of the 10233 LEGO Creator Expert Horizon Express set, it has become evident that LEGO is launching a new series of sets derived from the Creator range and whose price positioning, if confirmed, seems to be surprisingly correct. Indeed, the set 10233 is announced at 99.99 € for Germany in the official press release.

We learn today that a second set should be released soon in this range: It would be the reference 10232 Palace Cinema whose public price is announced at € 129.99. In any case, this is what a forumer says on 1000steine.de which had access to a price list emanating a priori from the manufacturer and mentioning this reference.

No information yet on the content of this Palace Cinema nor on the number of pieces in the set. But at this price, you should probably not expect a ModularBuilding in the minds of those we already know and whose public price was rather between 150 and 190 €. It will either be a small ModularBuilding, or a compromise between the buildings of the Creator range, which adopting the qualifier "Consultant"also seems to abandon the initial concept offering several models to build with the same basic content, and those of the range Modular / Exclusive.

Small precision: The visual above is tinkered by me, it is not an official image, in case you are told the opposite elsewhere ...

LEGO Lord of the Rings Dev Diary # 2

Here is the second part of the dev diary (Developer diary in English) of the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game which allows us to discover a little more about the game world and the methods used to bring the minifigs to life (we note the presence of sets from the LEGO Lord of the Rings alongside the staff of TT Games). 

The comments are interesting, if you understand English, otherwise you can still enjoy the magnificent images of the game, that's already taken ...
