Well, LEGO has understood that the key is the minifig. We stop the joke, and we throw exclusive minifig everywhere, so we are sure to cast a wide net.

After the Darth Maul, Iron Man & Captain America, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, we are putting the cover back with this still rather vague promotion (and for good reason ...) whose visual was posted on Brickipedia.

The message is clear: For $ 50 of purchases, a free Hulk minifig, in minifig format this time unlike the figurine in the set 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout.

It's hard to say where this promo comes from, maybe from a LEGO Store Calendar or the catalog of a US brand. We will know more soon and Bricklink will be swarming with green minifigs without delay ....

Well, here is finally a close-up on the heads of the bad aliens (no, they are not Skrulls, problem of license, rights, money what ...) that we will see in the movie The Avengers and who will be the balance of very, very bad Loki ....

For comparison, I put you the representation seen by LEGO of these invaders with skulls (which will be available in the sets 6865 Captain America's Avenging Cycle et 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle), who in the film are ultimately armored skeletons. I'm a little disappointed by the very theoretical resemblance between the two ... Obviously, LEGO has a habit of styling the characters concerned with minifig sauce, but here I still have a few questions ...

What do you think ?

Finally, I put you below the mini-trailer from which the image of the film's aliens is extracted.

I received the minifig in a bag sent by the Bricklink seller I was telling you about in this article. The time to take a photo and offer it to you here, I must admit that it is really successful.

Do not rush to Bricklink to pay a high price, it will probably be available again soon and probably for free ...

A new version of the movie poster The Avengers with LEGO sauce has been posted on Eurobricks by GRogall, which claims a copyright on it, letting me think that he works for LEGO or that he acts as a speaker in product placement on behalf of a communication agency, which would explain its ease in getting its hands almost systematically on high-resolution images of sets even before LEGO officially releases them.

If there is really a copyright on this image, that the copyright holders let me know formally, knowing that it has already been reposted on flickr by some users ...

In short, this image shows an Iron Man without his helmet, to better match the original movie poster, and it is available in high resolution (3500x4954) at this address or by clicking on the image, if you want to print a copy.

This poster will apparently be distributed in select theaters on May 4, 2012 when the film is officially released.

The starting point is simple: Offer an OMC on the Lord of the Rings theme while trying to respect the constraints that LEGO must meet to offer an official set for sale.

If you follow the blog, you may have already seen the work of Nuju Metru in the same spirit.

As part of this MOCAthalon 2012, the flower of MOCeurs is therefore found on MOCpages to offer teams of many creations on different themes, both of which on the Lord of the Rings theme presented here: The Masked Builder Siege of Gondor (above) and Legohaulic Oliphant (below).

Obviously in this MOCAthalon which brings together talented MOCeurs as well as many less experienced AFOLs, the very good rubs shoulders with the less good, but you should have a good time discovering all these creations.
