It is by taking a look at the review of the set 9473 The Mines of Moria on FBTB, well illustrated incidentally, that I came across the heresy of this set: A sheet of 34 stickers, just that ...

In defense, it must be recognized that the patterns used in this set are for the most part specific to the Lord of the Rings universe, but all the same, LEGO could have made an effort on the screen printing of the details of the walls or the boards.

I live like a permanent regression these overloaded sticker sheets, which will contribute to the disappointment of collectors over the months. How do you display a clearly marketed set with a collector's spirit without seeing the stickers turn yellow, peel off and crack under the effect of the sun, dust or simply ambient light?

Tip of the day: Scan your sheet of stickers, buy yourself a pack of self-adhesive micro-application sheets and print a copy for you to use without regrets. And store the original in a dry place away from light ...

Many collectors will take care not to stick these stickers, to keep their set in good condition, and the whole will lose in realism and finish. Not to mention that such a board will be resold in a few months at a high price on Bricklink, and the bravest, those who have dared to put them on their coins, will be at their expense.

Another in-game unlockable character pack Lego batman 2 is offered as a bonus on some pre-orders of the game. This time it consists of super heroes with Nigthwing, Katana, Shazam, Zatanna and Damian Wayne.

Okay for most of us, these heroes aren't the best known or most charismatic in the DC Comics universe, except Nightwing, and their names won't mean much to you unless you've read the relevant comics since. a twenty years...

But it's a gift, so we're not going to complain ....

Personally, I'm more excited about the version of the game that includes the Lex Luthor minifigure. The characters in digital version will anyway be activated in the game by everyone sooner or later.

This pack was seen for now at MediaMarkt, a German retail giant, but it should be available elsewhere without a doubt. (see this article on Blog der Steine)

The bag of the day offered by The Sun newspaper in Great Britain is the 30161 Batmobile. Huw posts a photo of the vehicle mounted on brick set, and fans of Hot Wheels cars will be in for a treat ... The craft only looks like a Batmobile from a distance anyway.

Apparently, it's the big rush on these bagged sets like every year, and resellers did not wait to flood bricklink of these mini sets ... and given the quantities offered by some merchants, we can tell that the newsstands have been robbed by hordes of guys anxious to make a little profit ....

Obviously I ordered mine from Bricklink, as usual when it comes to these promotional sets. I dream that one day we too could flood Bricklink with sets offered with one of our national newspapers ... just to share the pleasure of being able to earn a little money on the backs of a few Englishmen or a few Americans.

I will had already spoken about it in March 2012, the 6873 Spiderman's Doc Ock Ambush set will be officially inspired by the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series.

Marvel has uploaded a clip of the episode to YouTube that will see Spider-Man first meet Octopus ....

The contents of set 6873 are probably there somewhere ....

The official mini-site thelordoftherings.lego.com has just been updated with a second set presented in moving images and video by the designer. The video is worth its weight in gold, Martin Klotz the designer in question, seems under the influence of Sauron and he puts all his conviction to try to convince us of the playability of the set 9472 Attack on Weathertop. It's almost hilarious.

Just one thing, that LEGO stops misleading the youngest with its animations, the legs of the Hobbits do NOT move. No need to make them take impractical poses in promotional events. Already the minifigs whose legs are articulated are presented in impossible positions ...
