If you are a fan of LEGO and the Harry Potter universe, I don't need to remind you that the 71043 Hogwarts Castle set is now available in the LEGO Shop for members of the VIP program (of which you are obviously already part ...).

6020 pieces, a small handful of minifigs, a large ladle of micro-figurines, a retail price of € 419.99 (€ 449.99 in Belgium) and a large shelf needed to display this reproduction of Hogwarts, everything has already been said on the subject.
If you have weighed the pros and cons at length and passion outweighs logistical or financial considerations, you can checkout in the LEGO Shop directly via the links below depending on your country of residence:

In addition to this availability and to mark the occasion, I suggest you try to win one of the four boxes generously offered by LEGO, the sets 75954 Hogwarts Great Hall, 75956 Quidditch Match, 75953 Hogwarts Whomping Willow et 41621 Ron Weasley & Albus Dumbledore, by participating in the small contest below.

As usual, I'm asking you a question (which I couldn't choose this time), it's up to you to find the answer. Four winners will be drawn from among the correct answers.

The email addresses and other personal data collected during this competition will NOT be used for any purpose other than checking the validity of entries and the drawing of lots, they never are. No participation via comments.

Good luck to everyone.

Something promised, something due. Let's go for a new competition that will allow one of you to no longer have to hesitate regarding the LEGO Technic set 42083 Bugatti Chiron...

I am in the process of finalizing a "I tested for you"on this large box of 3599 pieces sold for € 379.99, but the discussions I had with the designer of the set and some specialists in the LEGO Technic range during the FAN Media Days which took place in Billund this week provided some answers to my questions about this set and I am therefore working to integrate this information into my final report. Roughly speaking, my opinion does not change but it is important to make these few details to be really honest.

While waiting and answering correctly the question asked in the participation interface below, you can try your luck to try to win the specimen in play, which will be accompanied for the occasion by the signature of the designer on a separate card. Rest assured, all those who are not specialists in the LEGO Technic range, the right answer is rather easy to find.

This competition without obligation to purchase is as usual open to all residents of metropolitan France, DOM & TOM, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Pardon the Quebec readers, they cannot participate and they know why.

To the attention of cheaters who do not seem to get discouraged over the contests: The participation system is always able to detect even the most inventive cheat attempts. I repeat, do not waste your time creating dozens of emails for the occasion.

Good luck to everyone !

COMPETITION 42083 BUGATTI CHIRON

Go ahead for a new competition with a nice prize up for grabs, the LEGO Marvel set 76105 The Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (1363 pieces - 139.99 €) generously offered by LEGO.

As usual, there will be only one winner and a lot of losers. If you are a bad player, abstain, the others will have even more chance of winning.

To participate, it's very simple, you just have to answer the question asked in the interface below. The winner will be drawn from among the correct answers.

Notice to all those who participate each time with dozens of different emails, do not waste your time: the system considers this type of participation as fraudulent and automatically invalidates them before the draw. To the best of my mind ...

No participation via comments, even if it's for your little ones, for the youngest in the hospital or if you are one of those grandmothers who play for their grandchildren. Good luck to everyone.

76105 HULKBUSTER COMPETITION

And it's off again for a competition with a nice prize offered by the King Jouet brand, which has been making great efforts in recent months to satisfy LEGO fans, taking into account the expectations of these demanding consumers that we are all here.

Stock, logistics or the care taken in packaging packages, King Jouet (with whom I have not always been kind in the past), has visibly significantly improved the quality of its services on many levels and this is a good thing. You obviously know that many brands read you and some know how to draw the necessary lessons.
The King Jouet team wanted to let you know that they are aware of the legitimate demands of LEGO fans who come to the blog and who are first and foremost consumers. It's now done.

To mark the occasion, three pretty prizes are put into play this week with the first prize a complete box of 60 sachets of series 18 minifigs including obviously the Classic Policeman. For the next two, a LEGO Star Wars set 75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and a LEGO Jurassic World set 75929 Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape.

We use the usual mechanics of contests organized on the blog: Four questions (one per day) and four correct answers to find. The first question below remains online until May 15 at 23:59 p.m. ET.
You can therefore participate every day (or not) and increase your chances of winning. No obligation to share on social networks and other tricks, I know that many of you don't like it. No participation via comments.

The endowment is generously provided by King Jouet and the prizes will be shipped by me.

Good luck to everyone !

King Toy Contest

Some details following requests received by email: You can participate every day in the current competition on the site.

Each participation (four tickets maximum) will increase your chances of winning. To accumulate these four participations, you must answer the four questions that are asked (the question changes every day around midnight) and you obviously have to provide the correct answer to each of the questions (this is not very difficult).

In short, if you only enter once, you get a chance to win. If you answer each question correctly, you quadruple your chances of winning. It's simple, basic.

I say it again because some obviously did not understand and I have already had to delete a few hundred comments from distracted competitors (darlings and loulous, children with rare diseases and at the end of life, grandparents concerned about well-being of their grandchildren, etc ...): No participation via comments.

It is not worth writing to me either to offer to buy back the lots at half of their public price. I don't eat this bread there.

The third question will be online in a few hours and this time you will need to be insightful and show the full extent of your LEGO culture to find the right answer ...
