853611 LEGO Marvel Minifigures Display Frame

If you don't have the patience to DIY a purchased RIBBA photo frame at Ikea to display your minifigs, LEGO has thought of you with a new product: A frame designed to accommodate fifteen minifigs, with a gray base plate, a few pieces to assemble the supports and a cardboard outline in the colors of the Marvel range.

This new product, which can be hung on the wall or displayed on a piece of furniture thanks to its pre-cut back, is currently sold for around twenty euros at the Store at LEGOLAND Park in Billund. A bit pricey for a baseplate and cardboard frame.

This product (LEGO reference 853611) will probably arrive soon on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores. It is not yet known if LEGO has planned to release a DC Comics version or a neutral version to exhibit different series of minifigs.

Update : This product is available at a price of 14.99 € on the LEGO Shop at this address.

LEGO Marvel Avengers - Agents of SHIELD Character & Level Pack

At TT Games and Warner, we had to say to ourselves that we had to hurry to release all the additional content for the LEGO Marvel Avengers game before refocusing the marketing effort on the next LEGO game which will be released at the end of June: LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens.

The fifth and last Character & Level Pack for the game is therefore available right now and it centers around the Marvel Agents of SHIELD TV series

We therefore find a large part of the cast of the series in LEGO sauce with 11 playable characters and even the very large high-tech plane [The Bus] which transports everyone to the four corners of the planet in each episode.

As usual, it's 2.99 € per unit and it's free for all those who have invested in the Season Pass.

Bonus: We are talking about a possible surprise DLC for the game with Spider-Man in it ...
