Almost everything has already been said about the new range of LEGO portraits called Brick Sketches and inspired by the concept of Chris McVeigh who himself became an official designer.

Just know that the first four references of what could become a long-term range if successful are now online on the official store.

Almost unsurprisingly, we also know that it will cost € 19.99 per reference, whether the set contains 115 or 171 pieces. The price is unique, it's art. At this price, you can have fun for a few minutes and then proudly display the portrait obtained on the dresser in the living room or hang it on the wall using the clip provided.

I do not think of investing in these boxes, I am a little insensitive to the artistic side of the concept even if I readily admit that I found them. first creations of Chris McVeigh using this very original principle. From there to collecting them or filling my walls with them, there is a step that I will not take. Especially at this price.

Notice to complete collectors: Expect it to quickly become difficult to collect all the potential references, if the concept hangs on, LEGO will undoubtedly not hesitate to release us some more or less exclusive and difficult to find sets. As with the BrickHeadz.

Below, the direct link to each of the four references that will be available from July 15:

As promised, LEGO has just announced the result of the third evaluation phase 2019 which brought together a dozen more or less successful ideas which had all been able to gather the 10.000 necessary supports and three projects were selected:

Exit Ratatouille, Futurama or Zelda, you can relax and recharge your hyperactive fan batteries by building a typewriter, a playset from the Seinfeld series or the house of the movie "Mom, I missed the plane"with its traps. All that sells dreams ...

If you have any accounts to ask LEGO about this selection, it's at this address that it happens.

The butchery will continue this fall with the result of the first phase of the 2020 review, which includes 26 projects in various and varied themes that have mobilized 10.000 supports. Remember that your opinion only counts for the qualification of the different ideas proposed. Then it's LEGO that decides.

Without knowing for now what will be planned in Europe, we will be satisfied with the list of offers planned for the month of July on the official LEGO store in the USA. The timing of these offers may be different with us but we should be entitled to similar transactions in the coming weeks.

So on the menu, the set 40411 Creative Fun 12-in-1, a box of 240 pieces whose inventory allows you to assemble 12 different creations, but not all at the same time (instructions available at this address). Across the Atlantic, you'll have to spend $ 85 on the official store between July 1 and July 26 to get this little set.

Two other offers that recycle products already offered by LEGO are planned: the set 40338 Christmas tree which was the gift of Black Friday 2019 at LEGO will be offered from July 24 to 26 from $ 100 purchase and the pack 5005969 Back to School containing a kit, a pencil, an eraser and some stickers will be offered from July 27 to 29 from $ 50 purchase. This set had already been offered in France in August 2019 from 55 € of purchase.

No confirmation for the moment of the offers planned in France next month, but I think we have a first idea of ​​what awaits us. To be continued.

The result of the third phase of the LEGO Ideas 2019 review will be unveiled tomorrow and LEGO is putting two copies of the set into play for the occasion. 21322 Pirates of Barracuda Bay by asking participants to try to guess the project (s) that will be validated and that will end up on the shelves.
