30053Released recently, this mini set that does not breathe creativity or originality is starting to show itself in detail on various forums.
If fans of mini sets and collectors will like this Republic Attack Cruiser of 44 pieces including 3 "spares" will not go down in the annals for others.

Sold between 20 and 30 euros on Bricklink, better to get it before speculators of all kinds increase its price ......

If you want to see a quick review of the machine, go to this topic at Eurobricks.

GeekDad had the opportunity to visit the new space dedicated to the Star Wars universe at California LEGOLAND.
He brought back these excellent photos that allow us to get a closer look at the buildings and gear used for these high-end dioramas.

As a reminder, more than 2000 models will be on display, specially covered with a layer of UV protection, for a total of more than 1.5 million bricks divided into seven key scenes seen in the films and the animated series.

66378A Eurobricks forumer found a new 3in1 Superpack consisting of three sets that don't necessarily match: 8085: Freeco Speeder, 7913: Clone Trooper Battle Pack, 7914: Mandalorian Battle Pack.

I do not really understand this mix of these three sets, including one released in 2010 and two new in 2011.

It looks more like a commercial operation allowing to liquidate a not very emblematic set by accompanying it with two interesting battle packs.

In total we get 10 minifigs, enough to have fun without investing too much money, or starting a collection cheaply.

72779Publisher Fantasia Verlag is launching pre-orders on the LEGO Collector 2. Edition guide, scheduled to be available by April 29, 2011. (Date postponed to June 30, 2011 by the publisher)
Note that this edition will finally be delivered with an "exclusive" keyring adorned with the Space Classic logo. We will not dwell on this uninteresting "gift" ....
In short, for 27.95 € (plus 7 € shipping costs for France), we will have a 900 page guide in A5 format bringing together all the LEGO sets released, i.e. nearly 9000 references.
To pre-order this guide now is on the publisher's website directly or you will have to wait for one of the French resellers to offer it in their catalog.
If you want my opinion, don't delay too much, or you will risk paying for this catalog and its "exclusive gift" double its price on Bricklink or eBay after its availability followed by its out of stock .......
For information, the pre-order is going very well, I was able to pay online via Paypal and I received my order confirmation.
