lego friends characters keychains 1

Notice to all fans of the Friends TV series, LEGO is selling six key rings with the effigy of the different characters at the retail price of € 4.99. Nothing new with these new key rings, the minifigs are identical to those of the set LEGO Ideas 21319 Central Perk (1070 pieces - 59.99 €) marketed since 2019. Worse, Gunther is not entitled to his key ring.

The complete set of six keychains costs 29.94 €, it's up to you. The story does not say whether the creator of the set 21319 Central Perk, Aymeric Fievet, is commissioned on the sale of these new accessories as is the case for the set based on the project submitted on the LEGO Ideas platform.

LEGO Star Wars Yoda's Galaxy Atlas

Amazon has updated the description of the book LEGO Star Wars Yoda's Galaxy Atlas whose publication is announced for April 13, 2021 and we thus discover in close-up the exclusive minifigure of Yoda which will accompany the book of 88 pages.

The design of this Yoda minifigure is not a surprise, the cover illustration had sold the wick when the first visuals were put online. The character with the new torso will be delivered with a backpack, a camera, a staff and a map of the Outer Rim for the moment exclusive to this book.

You have to pay a little less than 15 € to pre-order this book whose English content will probably not revolutionize the genre but the minifig seems to me rather successful. It's up to you.
