Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Darth Maul

With this catchy title, I have your undivided attention. For those who have not seen the video below, you will discover that the most famous clash of cinema in the category fluorescent-lightsaber-making-bzzzz is a huge scam and if Darth Maul comes back, he wasn't risking much in this fight ....

Joking aside, we have here a nice work of visual analysis commented with humor that demonstrates that the Jedi may have mastered force, but also dodge and dodge .... After seeing these images, you will not will watch moreEpisode I: The Phantom Menace like before....

thelordoftherings.lego.com - Eomer & Theoden

Nothing new under the sun except a few modifications on the dedicated minisite to the LEGO Lord of the Rings range: The image of Eomer's minifig has been corrected and his uncle Theoden's sheet has been added. Nothing to say about these two minifigs, they are superbly screen printed and very well equipped.

In a Galaxy Not So Far Away ... the Star Wars Filming Locations of the United States

A quick wink for a new book that deserves your attention. 3 guys embarked on a rather interesting mission: Find each place located in the USA that was used for the filming of one of the episodes of the Star Wars saga ... I had followed the launch of their project on Kickstarter and on facebook and I must say that I am already impatient to see the result.

Okay, the places listed are all located in the United States, but I still want to discover all these sometimes surprising environments that were used by Lucas.

If you want to know more about this project which started on Kickstarter and which came to fruition thanks to the financial support of Internet users, go to the dedicated blog or the facebook page.

The book is available for pre-order on Amazon.fr at the correct price of 23.29 €: In a Galaxy Not So Far Away ... the Star Wars Filming Locations of the United States.

853429 Batman, 853430 Superman & 853433 Wonder Woman

We are no exception to the rule at LEGO and Batman (853429), Superman (853430) and Wonder Woman (853433) are entitled to their keyring. We are far from the minifig not-so-exclusive Comic Con for Superman, which was distributed in an affordable set (6862 Superman vs. Power Armor Lex) and now as a keychain ...

I wonder in what sauce we will find the other two minifigs of Comic Con in San Diego: Batman et Green Lantern...

The Gray Havens (The Return of the King final scene) by infomaniac

It's a little dead calm at the moment when it comes to the new LEGO Lord of the Rings range and time has to be spent .... infomaniac does it in a beautiful way with this beautiful MOC reproducing to perfection the moving scene from The Return of the King in which Frodo and his friends leave the port of Gray Havens.

The reconstruction is perfect, even in perspective. I put you below a capture of the scene of the film, you can compare everything there ...

Remember to go to the flickr gallery infomaniac, it promises some views of this MOC in behind the scenes very soon ... He should then unveil the staging as a whole and the techniques he used to reproduce the perspective.
