You will tell me that this promo from the British newspaper The Sun does not concern us. And you are not totally wrong ...

Despite everything, it will have a certain influence on our ability to obtain the sets in question, especially the two LEGO Batman bags, on eBay or Bricklink. It will also condition the prices that will be charged by the many British AFOLs who will suddenly discover a passion for the articles in this newspaper and who will not fail to rush to the copies on sale during the entire week concerned (from May 19 to 27, 2012).

It will therefore be necessary to monitor the average price of these mini sets on Bricklink and wait for the general flood to buy them at a correct price. Click on the set names below to locate them on Bricklink. (source: brick set)

The list of sets distributed: 

30160 LEGO Batman Jetski 
30161 LEGO Batman Batmobile 
30087 LEGO Ninjago Ninja Car 
30150 LEGO City Race Car 
30056 LEGO Star Wars Star Destroyer 
30018 LEGO City Police Plane 
30010 LEGO City Fire Chief 
30086 LEGO Ninjago Hidden Sword 
8028 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter 

I admit first of all that I modestly contributed to this shortage of stock by ordering my copy last night ... But you will not be mad at me for always being surprised and annoyed by these shortages on products that just released ...

The and 10225 SCU R2-D2 is obviously much more than a collector's LEGO set which is not unanimous among AFOLs. This product was to be expected to be a bestseller from its launch: It also attracts geeks of all stripes who dream of having this droid on their desk or in their living room.

In short, it's May 4, 2012, LEGO has stuffed us with teasing and announcement effects both on the set itself and on the promo of the day and the product is already out of stock. It still borders on ridicule from a manufacturer who is not able to ensure sufficient production to at least spend the most important day of the year for Star Wars fans ...

Those who missed it will have to wait until May 24, 2012 to get their set, either in conversion to AFOL time, too long ...

Here is the first teaser for season 5 of The Clone Wars, which will begin airing in the fall.

Click on the play button, the starting image is off-center but the video is correctly positioned. I had to shamefully copy the code from the video to the starwars.com site, which did not allow integration on a third party site.

We wondered what had become of him: Since the minifigure of the San Diego Comic Con in July 2011, Green Lantern was rather discreet: No set on the horizon, no news ...

Yet the man in green will be present in the video game LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes as seen in the screenshot above. I do not despair of seeing him appear soon in a set in the DC Universe range, no doubt as the second knife of a hero more iconic and more in vogue because of his cinematographic or television news. After all, I liked it a lot the movie with Ryan Reynolds and Green Lantern deserves better than an exclusive minifigure distributed in a confidential manner ...

Many of you were eagerly awaiting the effective launch of the May 4th promotion on the LEGO Shop. Summary of the races, a few sets in promotion including the UCS 10212 Imperial Shuttle offered at 207.99 € (original price 259.99 €) andUCS 10221 Super Star Destroyer offered at € 319.99 (original price € 399.99). For the rest, nothing very exciting with more or less 10% discount on some sets from the Star Wars range as well as on key rings ...

The good surprise is the possibility of ordering products from other ranges and still benefiting from the minifigure TC-14 and poster / mini Tie Fighter offered. This will undoubtedly contribute to a faster out of stock of these promotional elements, but will allow all those who wish to buy the sets of the Super Heroes Marvel range in particular to obtain a small gift in the process ...
