It is Legoboy Productions which offers us a detailed 15-minute review (in English) and video of the set 7879 Hoth Echo Base. If you don't understand everything, you can still take advantage of the close-ups on this set and its minifigs to get an idea. Every aspect of playability, conception, design is discussed and commented on. 
For all those who are interested and have enough patience, Legoboy Productions offers on his Youtube channel a slew of video reviews of the most recent sets in the Star Wars range.

On the occasion of Comic Con 2011, LEGO is offering 21 copies of the new Green Lantern minifig to the lucky ones on July 1500.

For July 22, it will be the turn of the new Batman minifigure to be put into play.

Each minifig is offered on a collector's cardboard support congratulating the winner and encouraging him to use the minifig by staging it to participate in the competition organized until the end of December 2011 and about which I was telling you here.

I am really annoyed that this type of event only takes place in the United States. LEGO is a European company and we are hardly ever entitled to exclusive or limited edition products.

As with the exclusive set, we will have to monitor eBay and Bricklink in a few hours to be able to invest in these limited editions.

More news from Comic Con with these photos of the novelties of the LEGO Hero Action Figures range, which are not necessarily in the best taste.

I'm not already a fan of this range which no longer has much of LEGO, but here we are hitting rock bottom ...

Still, my son loves Hero Factory, and the gameplay is maximum with this type of articulate character.

None of these four super heroes really look like the original character and the reinterpretation is really hit and miss.

Special mention for Hulk who is just ridiculous.

Note that this is probably again preliminary version.
I'll let you make up your own mind with the visual below.

More and more of you visit me every day on Hoth Bricks and I thank you.

Today's various announcements about the 2012 release of the LEGO Super Heroes line have been surprising and faster than expected and I have to admit that I'm already a fan of these minifigs featuring our favorite heroes.

An avid reader of comics like Strange and Spidey in my younger years, I had to react to these announcements of partnership between LEGO, Warner Bros and Disney for the DC Universe and Marvel licenses.

So today I launched a second blog dedicated to this new range, Brick Heroes that you can find at this address, or follow on the dedicated Facebook page which is at this address.

I hope as many of you will follow me as you are on Hoth Bricks.

Here is the first teaser for the LEGO Super Heroes range.

We find Batman in a scene full of humor and we can discover in close-up the details of the minifigure to come.


LEGO has definitely put the package for this fanfare launch of this range which seems to be unanimous on the forums.

It remains to be seen whether the sets on offer will be at a fair price and with attractive content for fans. Enough to forget the semi-failure of the Batman range of 14 sets released between 2006 and 2008, and whose prices are skyrocketing despite everything on Bricklink or eBay.
