Fans of exclusive minifigs from the LEGO Star Wars range, you are bound to know the books published by Dorling Kindersley which are regularly offered around this range. Playful, richly illustrated and very useful in case of doubt about the provenance of a minifigure or the year of production of a set, these books are always accompanied by an exclusive minifigure of varying interest.

The vein of these works around the LEGO Star Wars range is inexhaustible and the publisher DK exploits it to the limit with regular updates of existing volumes: The Visual Dictionary originally published in 2009 was recently replaced by an updated and augmented version to incorporate the novelties marketed since and the encyclopedia of characters which dates from 2011 will suffer the same fate with a second volume available in May 2015.

It is important to note that the minifigure provided changes with each update of the book. Collectors will therefore not hesitate to combine versions to be sure of owning all the existing minifigs. There are even two versions of Luke's minifigure in uniform "Celebration"provided in the 2009 edition of Visual Dictionary : Two different faces have been marketed ...

More than reference books on the subject they tackle, these encyclopedias are above all richly illustrated collections of what the LEGO Star Wars range has been offering since its creation. Collectors find their account there with the different chronologies presented, children too: The editorial content is accessible to the youngest.

To date, none of the minifigs offered with these books has subsequently been integrated into a set from the LEGO Star Wars range. They are therefore quite exclusive.

You can find all these books, in their original version edited by DK or localized in French by Huginn & Muninn in the dedicated section on Pricevortex.com.

And as here we do not keep the books that we send to us (thanks to LEGO), you will be able to win one of the four copies presented above (in English version): Four nicknames among the comments posted on this article (Do not deny yourself to be constructive ...) will be drawn. The books will be distributed randomly among the four winners.

I'm not going to redo the promo for this book edited by Dorling Kindersley, you all know what's in there. The fact remains that it is a nice collection of what LEGO has been able to produce in the DC Comics universe from the first sets dating from 2006 to the range released in 2012.

The real bonus of this Visual Dictionary of a hundred pages of which we are impatiently awaiting an updated version incorporating the sets and minifigs released since 2012, it is the (still) exclusive minifig of Batman in his outfit Electro Suit seen in the LEGO Batman 2: DC Comics Super Heroes video game. It's a nice variation of the character that every good collector should own.

And this is the reason why I suggest you try to win a copy of this book (English version). As usual, let's keep it simple: You post a comment, a draw designates the winner.

If you don't have it yet, you can still get this book from amazon in English version edited by DK ou in French version translated by Huginn & Munnin (Please note, the French version is sold only on the marketplace and at prohibitive prices).

If the end of the year celebrations inspire you, here is a contest that should please you with the key to beautiful prizes for the best entries.

You don't need to be an experienced MOCeur to participate. Gather the parts (if you do not have the two required boxes on hand, use the inventory To download here), show a little imagination and voila. The youngest are invited to participate as long as they are able to respect the rules.

Those who already have the 40106 Toy Workshop set are halfway there. The 40107 Winter Skating Scene set will be available from November 22 for LEGO Shop VIP customers. This will give you plenty of time to participate in the competition.

If the number of participations is significant, I will add two additional prizes, just to reward more people.

To avoid any confusion or misunderstanding about the rules, dates and everything else, you will find the full rules for this operation below:

A quick note to tell you two things:

- The offer that allows you to obtain the doubling of VIP points and the set 40106 Toy Workshop on the LEGO Shop ends Friday night. It's up to you to organize yourself so as not to have any regrets ...

- That being said, here is where I am coming from: Keep your set 40106 Toy Workshop in a corner, and get the other exclusive set at the end of November 40107 Winter Skating Scene.

I will have a nice competition to offer you which will require these two boxes (or at least the parts they contain, I will provide you with the exact inventory) and which will appeal to your creativity. There will be great prizes to be won for the most inspired of you among all those who will take the trouble to participate. As usual, this competition will be open to all French speakers (France, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg) with the exception of Quebecers, they know why.

I know that many of you here are staging your sets from the Winter Village range at the foot of the tree for the end of the year celebrations. You will have the opportunity to use your talents to try and win cool stuff.

I will tell you more very soon ...

To order before it's too late: LEGO Shop FR (France) | LEGO Shop CH (Switzerland) | LEGO Shop BE (Belgium)

419 of you sent me an email to enter the draw and try to win one of the five exclusive LEGO Super Heroes comics.

Unfortunately, there can only be five winners and I left it to chance to decide who will receive this collector's comic.

Each winner was contacted by email to obtain their postal address.

Thank you all for your participation, well done to the winners, and see you soon for another contest.
